Less of me, more of You

Reading for today: 1 Peter 5:10-11

April 15, 2024. Today woke up, listened to the Bible where the Holy Spirit led to read, prayed for the day, putting on the full armor as it says in Ephesians 6:10-19, covering with the blood of Jesus, surrendering the day to him, that it would be less of me more of him(John 3:30), had a conversation with a man of God about some things that needed to come to the light and receive scriptures, then a conversation was had with the woman where the Lord placed me next for the Great Commission, then there was a spiritual sense of heaviness and exhaustion, as a lot comes out of us when there is pouring out, as we are reminded in the scriptures when the woman with the issue of blood touched the Lord’s garment in Mark 5:25-34”And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

I was also so encouraged as there was going to be a coming together with my daughter whom the Lord is using mightily and the Lord has also worked on our trust with each others lives in Jesus name. First my daughter and I were sitting in a local pizza place here in the New York area where the Lord has me, the Good News of Jesus was given thru the paper to each of the workers, then we were led to move to another restaurant and there we were connected with a brother in Christ who has come from the north of the United States, who also needed encouragement and to be connected with the body of Christ. Christianity is a giving and receiving. My daughter and I ate, fellowshipped, the Good News of Jesus was also given there, I was led to walk her to the train station and we each went on our way.

Before leaving the apartment where the Lord has me in I had $1 something, as the bank account was hacked by some people who bought something on amazon, so I was led to pray that they get to know Jesus, go to the bank to get a replacement card, which also worked out for the workers of the bank to get the Good News of Jesus and to get an immediate $13 dollar refund, but before leaving the Holy Spirit moved a sister to send $20 dollars. I was reminded of Romans 8:28: We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Then I was able to get some needed items at the pharmacy. Another sister in Christ was led to call me after the pharmacy and we spoke and prayed, and I was so exhausted by then and I started crying and asking the sister to please pray for me as I needed some Mercy and Kindness as I have been doing the Great Commission non stop since December and needed some Mercy and Kindness, which she was led to send $30 dollars to have some coffee and the Holy Spirit said to also enjoy.

I was led to go to the phone company to ask some questions as far as the new plan, and give the two young men that worked there the Good News of Jesus paper, as well as a man that came to get a recharge for his phone, he kept looking at me with a humble look of holiness and respect. Then headed to the restaurant where my daughter and I had been led to go where the Lord connected with a brother in Christ from the North, then I was led there to tell the woman that was sitting next to me with a young man that she should not be unequally yoked as the Holy Spirit had told me to tell her, I was also reminded that we are here to save lives in Jesus name, not being concerned with people immediate reactions, but that we need to say what we are being told to say, then also hearing to tell her to ask the Lord who she is to him, that HE will tell her. After sharing the Good News of Jesus also out loud and with the paper to one of the managers who stated she is Jewish, which I told her I love the Jewish people so much as that’s where the Lord started, the walls came down, she heard the Good News of Jesus with the Love of the Holy Spirit, as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, then she said that there is a Jews for Jesus church near her that she was going to go see it. Then I heard to leave half of the burger and fries ordered and pack it that there was going to be someone hungry passing by and sure enough there was a delivery man that I was led to give it together with a conversation as led by the Holy Spirit and he was so thankful. The brother who came from the North of the United states and I cried together with the Kindness and Goodness of the Lord for a few minutes, being encouraged thru 1 Peter 5:¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. ¹¹ To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. Then the brother in Christ was led to pick up the check and we both cried and cried as I shared with him hoe I had just come back from being sent to different countries with the Great Commission and how a few minutes ago I had asked the sister on the phone to pray for me as I was so exhausted, as it had been non stop warfare and fighting for the souls since December 24 of last year and I needed Mercy and Kindness that can only come from those of the Holy Spirit and the Lord had put him. The brother in Christ was also thankful and crying as he needed kindness, mercy and encouragement as well as it had been so heavy for so long and the Lord provided it for him as well thru our encounter. We are in constant warfare from our mother’s womb till our last breath for our souls and the souls of others in Jesus name.

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.
