Reading for today: 1 Corinthians 14.

April 7, 2024. Today woke up, played music and started the first of the three day vegetable and fruit fast. I have been led to fast everyday since arriving back to New York, but thru a sister in Christ met in yesterday’s event whom the Holy Spirit gave a lot of encouragement and to do a fast for 3 days, which is so powerful in the Holy Spirit when we fast, it is like a reset and recharge of the Holy Spirit as well as many other things that is does, such as put our flesh on check, many things are also delivered in us, as it says in Matthew 17: ^21 [a]But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. We become clean vessels for the Holy Spirit to go thru when we fast. The directions I heard from the Holy Spirit were fruits and vegetables during the day and at 6PM to have a heavier meal, with water, no salt or sugar, as well as tea and water. I was led to listen to 1 Corinthians 14, as I got ready to go sit where I was being led to sit by the Holy Spirit.

First I was led to sit at a bench inside the building the Lord has me in, then as I sat there heard to go to a nearby cafe to get a hot tea with what I had left in the account and sit there for a bit, but heard not to get too comfortable. After drinking the tea in the cafe I was led to go back to the sit by the Laundromat of the building the Lord has me in doing the Great Commission. There have been boundaries put in place with the Leading of the Holy Spirit to not be in the apartment with the husband when the wife is not there. It is so important to protect the testimony, so important. Then I started feeling really so so tired and my back started hurting and I heard as I cried, because I felt so tired but understood the importance of obedience to the Holy Spirit, and as I cried I heard, which gave me a lot of peace: 1 Peter 5:¹⁰ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Which ESTABLISH was a word given when arriving back to NY in March of this year. The Lord and HIS ways, but the Great Commission is so worth doing and answering, as in the Lord’s time it makes sense and it is not to make sense of situations, but to be obedient, as how can we not when the Lord has done so much, so much unconditional love as we see in John 3:16-21; which is what moves us to trust, have faith and obey. Also what we read in 2 Peter 3. All for the souls! Nothing is about us as our identity is in Ephesians 1:1-13 and 1 Peter 2:9-10, when we have given our lives to Jesus as stated in Romans 10:9, understanding John 14:6, getting baptized by submersion in water, as Jesus did in Matthew 3:13-17, which represents the public confession of your faith in Jesus, to go thru the new birth as we read in John 3, and receiving the Holy Spirit to get healing, forgiveness, restoration, fruits, gifts of the Holy Spirit, eternal life and answer the Great Commission as we read in Matthew 28:16-21, with the authority and leading of the Holy Spirit, understanding what it says in 1 John 4: ¹⁹ We love because he first loved us.

Around 12:45PM the online service started and I could see in the screen that people started arriving, so after being in the cafe and the bench as led by the Holy Spirit since 8:30AM; I heard to go back in, and take a nap to recharge and refill. After taking the nap, praying and hydrating I heard to get ready to go out to the living room where the discipleship time was happening. There were a few people online and in the living room. I was led to share as the Holy Spirit prompted and then was led together with the brother who is the main pastor of the church plant/ Great Commission to anoint some of the people with the Holy Spirit as led by the Holy Spirit, with HIS authority and power. It is powerful to see what happens when people have that encounter with the Holy Spirit, how HIS warmth and overwhelming love overflows the people and us. I get like a furnace with the Holy Spirit working in me and thru me, that I have to take several showers a day and change because of the sweat. We can not do anything without the Holy Spirit indwelling in us, as we read in Zachariah 4: ⁶ Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. There are days that are felt more than others, but today I was led to ask several brothers and sisters to pray for me, as the Lord intercedes for us thru HIS body, those in where the Holy Spirit is in. It was such a blessing to fellowship and have Holy Spirit led and filled conversations. There were Godly connections as well. Thanking Jesus/ Holy Spirit. The flesh sometimes does not understand the process of the Great Commission, but the Lord gives us encouragement thru HIS word in the Bible to keep us going. Romans 8: ¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Everything in the life of a believer led and move by the Holy Spirit is Spiritual.

At 6Pm was led to boil a potato without salt, stir-frying some green sweet pepper, brussels sprouts, celery and corn, no salt. It was actually very delicious and filling, which were all in the fridge and the cabinets, thanking the Lord for HIS provision, in Jesus name. By the end of the day there is $1.70 in the account for now, trusting the Holy Spirit will move who HE moves for the provision for HIS Great Commission, in Jesus name. Thanking each person who is praying for both my daughter and I, who in one way or another has been impacted by the sharing in this page and for those who have and will be of support to this Great Commission as the Holy Spirit leads or has led.

I have been led to share testimonies in this blog/podcast page of teachings and testimonies by the Holy Spirit. He knows why and what each person needs to hear, listen and or do. I don’t know who or how many people the Lord will move for the rest of the nights, transportation, food, and other needs moving forward, but HE will. I am often led to pray; that HIS kingdom comes and will is done in everything and that is less of me more of HIM, in Jesus’ name. For however the Lord leads contact me through email: Lourdeskdelacruz@gmail.com, CashApp: Lourdes Delacruz: $Lourdeskdelacruz, Zelle: Lourdes K Delacruz, Lourdeskdelacruz@gmail.com, Revolut:@lourdeh0t5, for Western Union email me to know the country I am in, and full name, for monetary support, with how much the Lord leads, for this Great Commission, it will be of a blessing to many. Thanking the Lord for those who are praying for both my daughter and me. Also for those who have been led to be of monetary support.

Jesus wants you to know that HE LOVES YOU. He wants a relationship with you. Our sins separate us from God when we break his commandments. But if we repent and accept Jesus as our God and Savior, there is forgiveness, healing, restoration, purpose, eternal life, and much more. Talk to Him.🙏He wants to hear from you. 🖤 We are born to be loved by the Lord, to worship HIM, and to obey HIM through HIS Great Commission.
