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

Reading for today Psalms 23.

Sunday, April 11, 2024. Last night the Holy Spirit had me out till 2AM. In the last blog post from yesterday I was led to share up to the ice cream shop, where the youth that came in as well as the young workers received the Good News thru paper and spoken, some said they were muslim to which the Holy Spirit would have me answer that HE died for you too. Then a young man came and sat by the booth I was sitting in and started sharing his papers and speaking in Arabic, which I did not understand but the Holy Spirit does. We started talking in the Google translate and he would express how thankful he was to be heard, then he started saying he had a card that he could give me to rent a room but that he had to come with me, I told him that as a Christian I could not go with him anywhere, which I sensed it was a tempting spirit, as he kept saying that we can get married after and that “god” forgives everything and I write it with lower case g, as he was not talking about Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Then after I shared the Good News of Jesus i prayed against anything that was coming against me or my daughter, that the young man could get to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior and would have an encounter with the Holy Spirit as I touched his arm and then told him he had to leave which he did, thanking Jesus for clear boundaries, this is what Jesus said about boundaries in the Bible:Be Honest and Direct (Don’t Pressure People or Try to Get Them to Do Things): “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37).and discernment: 1 Corinthians 12:10 mentions the gift of discerning spirits, which is the ability to distinguish between true and false spirits. It can also mean the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The verse reads, “to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. 1 John 4:11 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

It is so important that after we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior understanding Romans 10: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 14:⁶ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Then we get baptized by submersion in water as we see Jesus did in Matthew 3: ¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. ¹⁴ But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” ¹⁵ Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. ¹⁶ As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. ¹⁷ And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Lastly we get the Holy Spirit as we read in Acts 2, and the new birth, new life begging as we read in John 3, understanding: Matthew 16: ²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whoever wants to save their life^[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. ²⁶ What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. It is important also to read the Bible everyday. 2 Timothy 3: ¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of God^[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Around 2AM after the Great Commission was done in the area, saturating it with the Good News of Jesus out loud and by paper I heard sister and wait. I was led to call a sister who’s husband had received Jesus as his Lord and Savior when the Holy Spirit placed me in the center of Manhattan, arriving in March. She was led to send me $100 dollars thru Zelle, but before that a young brother who is from the south, who’s Great Commission is in a restaurant the Lord had me yesterday too with the Great Commission was led to give $40 while I was sitting at the bus stop close to the restaurant waiting for the Holy Spirit’s guidance, next steps and provision of where to sleep. With what the brother was led to give in cash the taxi to get to the next place the Holy Spirit would have me go for the Great Commission was set, which is in a Hotel that is interfaith in Manhattan, NY, where it is around $113 a night but thru an online app tonight was $86, last night $113 and I am hearing to stay 5 nights in total for now or longer term. With what people were led to send 2 nights were paid so the Holy Spirit knows who HE will move for the following nights. I was led to ask a few brothers and sisters and the Hotel staff have agreed that the money can be paid tomorrow for the rest of the 3 nights, unless it will be like Malaga that I was there for 30 days and the Holy Spirit moved people day by day or how ever HE did for the 30 days of Great Commission to be done. Three people have sent so far, a young sister $20, another sister $100 and a young brother $44. The Holy Spirit will prompt those HE needs to for HIS Great Commission that already started today to be done. $339 are still needed for the 3 days remaining to be paid tomorrow, to make it 5 days. Praying and trusting in Jesus name.

After taking a needed nap, listening to a preaching from an online church and paying for the two nights; I was led to go into the community area of the interfaith place, that it is a hostel where you get a small room and everything else is shared, such as the showers, the bathrooms and the eating area, where they have all kinds of fruits and vegetables. When I was led to go there was a conversation going on about Christianity based on what they had seen and heard, where there were 4 men and me, at the end one was led to share healthy items with me, we all ended up talking about Jesus and the questions they had amongst other food topics and the Good News of Jesus was shared with each of them thru listening and them being heard and seen, like the Samaritan woman on John 4. One said that it is the first time he meets a Christian like me who does not debate or tries to convince but does it the Jesus way. I get that a lot. At the end he was led to put the Good News of Jesus paper in his wallet, asking the Lord to let him know who HE is not to have an encounter with Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit and I also heard for him to watch the movie called THE CASE FOR CHRIST. The Holy Spirit thru HIS Gifts and Fruits will have those who are meant to understand understand. Our part is to be the seed planters for eternity. The Holy Spirit knows who will understand and places us in those specific places, for the 1 to the 99. Matthew 18: ¹² “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? ¹³ And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. I was also invited to one of their interfaith services where it will be to also share about the Good News of Jesus, as HE leads. Also have been invited to a homeless feeding where the Good News of Jesus will also be shared. It is always an opportunity this medicine that cures everything, gives those who accept Jesus forgiveness, healing, restoration, purpose, gifts, fruits, eternal life and much more to do what it says in Matthew 28:16-20 and Ephesians 4:11-16.

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 get 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 for this Great Commission.

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.
