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

Reading for today Isaiah 53.

May 8, 2024. Today after a night of waking up and waking up, which happens after an end of a Great Commission to start the next one; finally woke up at 7AM to get ready to go to the Homeless feeding program and as led by the Holy Spirit to bring all the bags to leave from there. The people were shared the Good News of Jesus, with even the police officers receiving the Good News of Jesus in the area, as the Holy Spirit led. The sister in Christ and I went to a few local places and at one of the locations there was a group of immigrants who were drinking and one after receiving the Good News of Jesus got up and said that after being in the hospital he had an encounter with three principalities, to which I heard to share about the death on the cross, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, then doing the prayer of Salvation with him, telling him that now the Holy Spirit will lead him as to where to go to get baptized, the other ones asked as I am often asked if there was a meeting place that was led by me. People are drawn to the fruits of the Holy Spirit as we see and learn in Galatians 5. The in between waiting is not easy as I have to depend of people’s obedience and also hearing from the Holy Spirit, but this is how HE is doing it in this season for as long as HE sees fit.

Before the walking and going to different places, the new sister in Christ/disciple was led to give $45 dollars, which $20 went for food while in the supermarket where I was led to sit and wait in and a needed shampoo. I got to put my head down for like 15 minutes on the table and eat, which was a blessing as I was really sleepy. I wonder where the Holy Spirit will place me in Jesus name for the next Great Commission or to rest for a bit? Listening to worship and have also spoken to a couple of sisters in Christ and messaged a few people. A sister was led to send Psalms 46: says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth”.

After sitting for sometime and asking people for prayer and one sister suggesting a place nearby where they serve homeless people from a denomination so I started heading down, which the first time she has sent it to me I had heard NO from the Holy Spirit but as we spoke she sensed I should check it out and I walked for 5 minutes and when I arrived someone was coming in and they asked me a few questions about who I was, had me call a number which the person was so close I could hear her and she wished me luck and that it was impressive what I was doing which is not me but that is not understood unless we have the Holy Spirit. Then she said they had nothing for me but that I could go to this shelter where people sleep on a chair which I heard NO. Then I was led to stop at a nearby cafe giving the Good News of Jesus to the people that owned and worked at the cafe. Sat to get coffee and charge the computer for a bit and the phone as they had electrical charging stations. I was also led to call my daughter. I believe I heard I have to go back to the supermarket I was sitting at their dinning area. WOW what a journey Lord. It is interesting and possibly natural for people to ask about my daughter when in between Great Commissions, the thing is that I have to be where the Lord needs me to be not where either my daughter and I want. I do wonder where HE will place me tonight. I feel like crying but soon it will be clarified I am sure as HE always does.

After leaving the Cafe I cried and cried possibly unpacking all that was unfolded and shared in the 5 days where the Holy Spirit had me and it was a deep deep cry where it started in the bathroom of the cafe asking the Lord to please not have me out here till midnight or really late, after hearing to come back to the supermarket cafe where HE had me after leaving the sister in Christ who has gone thru so many trials and tribulations including her children being killed by her ex-husband’s principalities and her forgiving him, as the Holy Spirit gave her understanding of forgiveness, being in a relationship with another principality, but the Lord is so faithful that HE sent her someone of HIS to re-ignite the fire of the Holy Spirit in her, to give her the tools needed to choose t he Lord in all she has to do and understand moving forward. So much love from the Lord to send us HIS containers and lights for HIS will to be done and HIS kingdom to come.

I understood after why the Holy Spirit wanted me to go back to the supermarket, as many homeless people come here to get food or use the bathroom. It was interesting for me to see the machine where people are now scanning their hands, people in their lack of Jesus are allowing to be placed chips in their hands to be scanned to pay, Jesus, Holy Spirit. I was also possibly crying with the frustration that the people living in the streets have before getting to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It encourages me more thru the Holy Spirit to share about Jesus so people can have forgiveness, healing, restoration, purpose, eternal life, hope, love, joy, peace, gentleness, self control, and all that the Lord provides us thru giving our lives to Jesus as our Lord and Savior. May HIS kingdom keep coming and HIS will being done in Jesus name. I saw so much on the way to the supermarket which was all also spiritual, such as a man masturbating on the sidewalk, which I had seen before going into a train station, which was a visual of the darkness that has tried to take over this city, territory by territory, and that is why the Holy Spirit places us in the places to be HIS light, as we read in Matthew 5: ¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. ¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Wherever the Holy Spirit places HIS Holy people the demons and principalities in people will manifest to either intimidate, scare, make tired, distract or for what ever else the Holy Spirit says that is happening or that needs to be done, as we read in the book of Enoch, that talks about the different principalities, which you can download or have the app. We also read and need to ask the Lord for understanding of 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.

The supermarket was closing at 10pm so by 9:10pm I was led to move to another restaurant that is open 24 hours where the Good News of Jesus is given to the people as they come in and the workers. Hebrew 11: 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ² This is what the ancients were commended for. Hebrews 11: ¹³ All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. ¹⁴ People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. ¹⁵ If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

It’s 1:03AM and still in the streets giving the Good News of Jesus and waiting for provision and or where the Holy Spirit will place me tonight. In Jesus name. There is a hotel right across from what I am sitting but I need money to pay for it. Jesus/Holy Spirit. I asked a taco truck guy if he could help me get a room in the hotel and he gave me $10 dollars, then I went to the bathroom in the restaurant across the street and gave the Good News paper to a few men they were there. Then asked a security guard from the area if he could help me get a room in the hotel across the street and he said no, I gave him the good news of Jesus paper and told him Jesus loves him and sat on a bench. Each day it’s a next level and new experiences. In Jesus name, all for the souls.

After sitting in the bench called 311 to find out about shelters, they told me one in Manhattan and I went and they were in capacity so there were no more beds or chairs. Only Jesus/Holy Spirit, I feel the peace of the Lord. On the train and in the way to the shelter the Good News of Jesus was given. I cried out to the Lord and cried out to HIM but nothing is happening as far as where to sleep so today I will fully experiment being in the street with the suitcase and the book bag. Outside people were Laid hands on and prayed for. Also introduced to the Good News of Jesus.Thanking the Lord for HIS faithfulness. In Jesus name.

Since there were no beds I got to be outside the shelter the whole night until 5AM. The men were heard, prayed for, encouraged, seen, and some were led to get me food, and keep me company as they said. Jesus/Holy Spirit. I asked the Lord for forgiveness as I was crying and crying before going to the shelter and asking the Lord to provide and place to lay my head forgetting it is never about me, that it is all about the Great commission.

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 me, and 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.
