Less of me, more of You//Más de Ti, menos de mí

Reading for today Matthew 19.

Thursday April 11, 2024. Today after going thru some heavy mental, tiring warfare which was a reminder that when we have given our lives to Jesus, gotten baptized by submersion in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, receiving the Holy Spirit, understanding that our war is not against flesh and blood, as we learn in: Ephesians 6: ¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. I would hear in the midst of the attack to stay in bed, to not get up, a heavy heavy sense in the Holy Spirit was sensed. Then I was led to listen to Matthew 19, which was also a reminder and encouragement the Holy Spirit sends me from the beginning in Matthew 19: ²⁹ And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife^[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. After reading the Bible and getting ready I heard that it was time to go, that we needed to go from this Great Commission to the next.

I had shared before that when arriving to New York from Paris, after Spain and two countries in Africa; I had heard to fast till what needed to be stablished was stablished, was first sent to the center of Manhattan for a few days, then Brooklyn, then Queens, to then go to a family that needed to be discipled, anointed by the Holy Spirit and other things that are part of the Great Commission. Then while I was there I heard that there was another home to do and the connection was made for a single woman where the next Great Commission is and will be done, and when we are sent to do the Great Commission somewhere as we read in Matthew 28:16-20, it is not just for the person or the people in the home, it is an all around coverage as well, of the area and the environment. I was given two days of rest in the couple’s home and the last night we were led by the Holy Spirit to take a walk to a nearby park to get a word and to give a word or two or three, they went ahead and I ended up being led to go to an area of the park where there was a young man with two dogs with whom I was led to share the Good News of Jesus paper, who showed me a tattoo he had on his arm of Jesus on the mountain, with also the cross. He had a lot of questions about evolution, the big bang and other beliefs, the questions were answered with some not answered with the Holy Spirit leading me to say to him to ask the Lord, as since he had given his life to Jesus and gotten baptized as he stated at the beginning he has access to the creator of the universe. He left encouraged to have an encounter with the Holy Spirit thru Jesus. When coming back to the last apartment with the couple; I had $1.45 left in the account and I was led to go into a grocery store where with that amount I was made a tea and a toasted bagel with butter, it was also to share with the two men about Jesus, as well as the people who came in.

Before going into the next Great Commission I had pleaded to the Lord, which it is HIS desire as well to have two days of rest, as since Spain I had not had two straight days of resting body and soul, which the Lord teaches us that the resting is not in the place but in Jesus/ Holy Spirit. I also had gotten a really bad cold, had prayed, my body was in a lot of pain, I prayed to get some mercy and kindness, as I am usually doing warfare for the souls and right there and then as I was praying the Lord moved the woman where the next commission is to ask if there was something that I needed and I shared how medicine would be great and she was led to also pack other items that were needed by the couple as well as myself and others. The night of picking up the items a powerful prayer time was also had with the couple and the woman where the next Great Commission is being done.

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.
