Reading for today John 14 and Romans 10.
May 4, 2024. Today woke up, listened to the word on Numbers 6, surrendered the day to the Lord, spoke to the sister where the Lord has me, and as I took a shower heard to be in their apartment for 5 days, with the Great Commission, which was confirmed this morning as I took a shower. Yesterday I was led to share how the sister had been led to offer for me to come over her apartment after the people from the interfaith hotel ere led to ask me to pack and leave, which was a confirmation of what I had heard from the Holy Spirit that they would ask me to leave. The Great Commission was done in an interfaith hotel for some days, in the area and in the homeless feeding program that they lead, and now the Holy Spirit has me here. The sister in the morning had sensed for me to come with her to the homeless feeding program she is led to be part of on Saturdays and I received the confirmation to come with her. When we arrived there was already a line and I was led by the Holy Spirit to go person by person, sharing the Good News of Jesus, with also praying with and for a few people, with one man having a resistance to Jesus as he has seen and heard so much, which I was led to tell him to pray and ask the Lord for confirmation and he also reminded me of one of the men in Yonkers, NY, who had the same spirit as him and even looked liked him, who was part of the first group the Holy Spirit had me disciple. After everyone was spoken to as led by the Holy Spirit on the line; then the Holy Spirit had me join the serving where the Holy Spirit led to pray for one of the people leading the program, so she could also have an encounter with the Holy Spirt, she stated she felt a refreshing, which the Holy Spirit is like a sprinkler in us, then she was led to bring a man that had cancer, who stated that he had accepted Jesus and had gotten baptized, he was heard for a bit then I was led to pray with him anointing him with the Holy Spirit and believing that the Lord’s kingdom will come and will be done in them and thru them in Jesus name. It is so important to be where the Holy Spirit needs us to be, the waiting and the in between is not easy but it makes sense once we are in the place. It is not easy to live completely by faith in the Lord, but it is so worth it. It is a humbling honor to have access to the Lord’s creation and if anyone knows all that answering the Great Commission comes with is the Holy Spirit, who came as man and went thru everything we go thru or will go thru. Only Jesus/Holy Spirit has died, giving HIS life for us and rose again, only Jesus/ Holy Spirit. John 3: Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d] 9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. 10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[e] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g] 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
John Testifies Again About Jesus
22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.) 25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” 27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’ 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”[h] 31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God[i] gives the Spirit without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. Romans 8:18 says, “The pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming”. John 16: 33 These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” Revelations 21: Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Click on this link to read 2 Peter 3: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Peter%203&version=NIV
After the new sister where the Lord has me for 5 days was led to show me the temple where she senses the connection and presence of the Holy Spirit. When entering there is a statue of Christ crucified which made me cry remembering what only the Lord has done coming as Jesus to die for us so that as we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we get healing, forgiveness, restoration, purpose, eternal life, fruits, gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to then be part of the Great Commission, with the authority and guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we read in: Matthew 28: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 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. While in the temple there was a wedding going on and there were a lot of revelations from the Holy Spirit and at the end there was a mesage for the people who got married which they received and were thankful, then the sister and I had a confirmation from the Holy Spirit and we sensed the Holy Spirit in it. We left to get some needed and other items and then eat what was led to bring from the feeding program. The new sister in Christ was led to give me some beautiful accessories, that as given I was led to pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit in them. I sensed the Holy Spirit in them when given and when I put them on I could feel the throbing of the Holy Spirit in the places where they were worn. The sister was led for me to wear them until the Holy Spirit said not to wear them anymore. It is important to pray over anything we are given no matter where it is from, in Jesus name. It is the same for any eddible we are to eat or given, we must pray for it to be filled with the Holy Spirit before we eat it. The word teaches us that we have access to the Holy Spirit at all times and that if need wisdom we can ask HIM. James 1: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
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.
