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

Reading for today Psalm 23.

May 1, 2024. Today woke up after hearing the alarm to start getting ready to go to the homeless feeding program, prayed, put on the full armor and surrendered, as was led to start getting ready. Started praying also as the room has not been paid since Sunday night, which I keep hearing the word: WAIT, the hotel manager gave till this Friday, May 3, as a final notice for the room to be paid, which I am completely waiting by faith, and I also needed money to get on the train and get some needed items that were finishing, heard to ask a couple of sisters and also another sister was led to send without me saying anything. Went from $1.64 in the account to a hundred and something before leaving the Hotel the Lord has me in, which served to get some needed items and cover the expenses and transportation for today’s Great Commission. I was led to wait for two other women the Holy Spirit had me share with in the Hotel, as they were coming to the homeless feeding program. The three of us left, served in the program, me in the line interacting with the people and the two women helping in other capacities. People were heard and seen, prayed for for healing and other things and the Great Commission was done there for the Kingdom of the Lord to come and will be done, in Jesus name, with the authority of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 6: ⁹ “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, ¹⁰ your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. ¹¹ Give us today our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ¹⁴ For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. There is a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness is between you and the Lord, and reconciliation is when both people involved in the situation have given their lives to Jesus and understand forgiveness. Zechariah 4: ⁶ So 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 Almighty.

The Good News was shared out loud in the train, in most of the places we went to eat, then one of the women left to the airport and the other woman and I, whom she speaks french stayed walking in some places so the woman could see them, then she asked if I knew of a place where she could get her hair done and we took the trains to Washington Heights, where in the hair salon, where I was led to take her was a woman who is also a non denominational follower of Christ, who needed to be encouraged, prayed for and anointed with the Holy Spirit. She fixed my haircut and did not charge me anything. She did not only not charge me but they were led to give me food to eat, which I had for dinner. At the end of the time in the hair salon; I was led to do a prayer with everyone in the salon, with sharing the Good News of Jesus out loud and also being led to say the prayer of Salvation with them, them repeating it and then ending with a prayer for them to have an encounter with the Holy Spirit thru Jesus. They were very thankful and I was so recharged and encouraged as well. The woman that is also staying in the Hotel stated that I had a beautiful way to share about God, which I was led to share with her the testimony and reasons to have given my life to Jesus, which was because of what HE did on the cross for us, and getting baptized, then getting called to surrender everything and become an Ambassador of the Holy Spirit full time. I am constantly reminded by the Holy Spirit and led to remind people that what they see in me and those who have had an encounter with the Holy Spirit is that we have been made to understand that “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19), and that I am not extraordinary or amazing or meant to be glorified or put in a pedestal, this is something people can have as the life is given to Jesus, to get baptized by submersion in water, to receive the Holy Spirit, what they see are the fruits of the Holy Spirit, as stated in Galatians 5:22-24: ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Also Matthew 16:24: Matthew 16:24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. 1 Corinthians 1: ²⁶ Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. ²⁸ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, ²⁹ so that no one may boast before him. ³⁰ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. ³¹ Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” And John 15: Jesus said:⁴ Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Then in the night time after taking a shower and journaling for a bit; I heard to go out and speak to the people speaking, it turns out the two young men had sensed to come to New York from Texas to come share about Jesus, we spoke and then I was led to pray with them imparting them with the Holy Spirit. We were all encouraged to see how the Lord had placed us here and how HE is always working for HIS creation.

Today, Thursday, May 2, 2024, woke up prayed, surrendered the day to the Lord, heard to stay in and then the manager of the hotel approached me as I was coming from the room to tell me that I have till tomorrow to pay for the balance, as a final notice. I contacted by message with one of the people from the church visited on Sunday, with whom my daughter connected with her to see if she could give me the pastor’s number or he can contact me. I feel peace in the midst of it all, the Lord called, the Lord is moving the people that HE will move, as this is HIS Great Commission and HE called me to surrender everything and the HE would provide and HE has, HE will never leave us or forsake us, as HE calls. Since this morning while in the hotel common are the Good News of Jesus is being shared as well, thru conversations and the paper. A young man was led to encourage me to keep doing what the Lord has me doing in such a beautiful way and one of the staff was led to share a book for pastors as well as the Amplified Bible. I hear that today will be provided, which will be a powerful testimony for everyone at the hotel and everyone who will hear the testimony of the Lord’s faithfulness and provision. Waiting in expectation of Miracles and wonders and hearing from the Holy Spirit: Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. ²     He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, ³     he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. ⁴ Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows. ⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

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; it would be a blessing to many if it could be you.

Thanking the Lord for those who are praying for both my daughter and I, also for the Lord’s kingdom to come and will to be done in Jesus name.

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.
