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

Reading Matthew 5, Matthew 19 and Matthew 28.

May 27, 2024. Today after having a very Holy Spirit filled productive Sunday, as it is the case when we are walking in the path of the Great Commission. Listened to the Bible on 1 Samuel 11, prayed, was so exhausted as felt so so heavy, prayed, and went back to sleep. Then woke up again and was reminded by the Holy Spirit of Daniel who after interpreting the dreams of the king had to rest for a few day and how so much comes out of the Holy Spirit in us when out doing the Great Commission that we need to rest in the Lord after. I heard to unpack the 21 countries here in this page, that was done from March 2021 to March 2024, which made me cry and cry, as so much happens when we are walking by faith and authority of the Great Commission, all for the Glory of the Lord and for HIS creation, the souls. The first country the Holy Spirit sent me to was to the Dominican Republic, first arriving at a home where the mother and son were going thru some situations with principalities the son had gotten in the streets of New York, where I was able to see the principality and the principality made sure it was seen by me. In that apartment there was a huge principality that also landed in the room I was in as there were people upstairs who gathered to drink and listen to music until one day the Holy Spirit had me take authority in the name of Jesus, go up and share the Good News of Jesus and pray with them. With the son of the mother and son I was led to do Bible studies with them and put order with some of their family members who had everything of hers under their name, so she could have everything under her name, the family members were very upset and I could relate to the Lord as people dislike HIM because HE puts order and holds people accountable for their actions. The area where they live was also saturated with the Good News of Jesus, which the principalities in them attacked me every time there was a move of the Lord. The mother one day before it all began had an idea to take us all to a resort where all of their deep rooted situations rose, the principalities in each too and all I did the whole time was cry and cry, but it was not a natural cry it was the Holy Spirit groaning in me, because of their rejection to the Lord and all that was happening in the resort. By the time we left I was so exhausted. The day the Great Commission ended there I heard to dust off my feet and go to a town where I had been connected by the Holy Spirit with a pastor of a church in the second town where I arrived to it in a vehicle the Lord had provided, where the church was full of teachers of the Law, pharisees and sadducees, with whom the Lord dealt with when HE was here as a man and wrote Matthew 23 for them, who we have today: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2023&version=NIV: with a few people filled with the Holy Spirit, who were indoctrinated for a long time by these groups, but who overtime got to experience the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit thru me, where situations that were prophesied came to be while I was there and after. They all dressed a certain way, knew the Bible, but no Holy Spirit, except for one young man, who was the one the Lord used to ask me if I could take them home, and his wife was led to ask her aunt if I could stay with them. At the beginning they were very challenged by the way I dressed and looked, as they had been taught that “Christians” could not wear make up, or accessories or pants, which the words talks about in Matthew 7: ¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. ¹⁸ A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. The Great Commission was done there for several months, which I had only heard to be there 30 days, heard it many times, but thru temptation, false dreams of the family of a man who they said they saw a white missionary who came to marry their brother and false prophesies which I got to learn a lot about discernment, as when I was near the man I felt drained and my left arm got very cold, but while praying I would hear he was my husband with the principalities even showing me where we would marry and it went on for almost 9 months, with me going back to Yonkers, NY packing everything in 45 days, being spoken to by many sisters and the Holy Spirit. I felt so drained thru the whole thing, but in that time the apartment where my daughter and I had lived since 2007 was surrendered, hearing that it was all done in Yonkers, hearing that everything had to fit in a suitcase, with my daughter getting a job in a Christian camp and me being sent back to the Dominican Republic from town to town, by faith, with access to a card for the plane tickets and the stays.

In one of the other cities called Santiago in a neighborhood called Pekin it was to do the Great Commission with a Haitian population, teaching them English and Spanish with Bible and prayer time, where many received and two were used as opposition, as they had helped missionaries in Haiti, but missionaries that would come with money from their churches who would build houses and give money away, not a missionary/Apostle like me who lives by faith and dependance on people’s obedience of hearing to give to me for the Great Commission. One night they became very aggressive as they did not have the money to pay the rent and knocked on the door, cursed and threatened, the owner of the building heard about what happened and called me to confirm and got them out of the building, which was God’s protection and covering. Then I was sent to other towns to pray and share the Good News of Jesus, then to a beach area to minister to around 40 men and a few women, that when the Lord sent me a woman who cooked at the beach to sell the food approached me and told me she had a dream that the Lord was sending a woman and in the vision the woman looked like me. Every other day the Holy Spirit led to read a paragraph of he book of Matthew, sharing a short message, the good news of Jesus and the prayer of salvation, with them confessing what they had done and had happened before and giving their lives to Jesus one by one. One would come every Wednesday, who had the gift of prophesy, but was introduced as a child to witchcraft and he would come with a knife to tell me he was going to kill me to which the Holy Spirit would tell me to tell him that Jesus loves him and on the 3rd month I would tell him that Jesus loved him that if he put the knife down I would hug him and one day he did and accepted a Bible study in his house inviting others to join, and bringing me to his mother’s and families house to receive the Good News of Jesus and the prayer of Salvation. One by one the men and women gave their lives to Jesus to start the rebirth.

After the Dominican Republic going city to city and town by town, the Lord provided to go to New York to an area in Manhattan in a Missionary house to rest and to testify so that people could see and hear how the Lord was so real, with the Lord providing for every need and to refill or replace needed items. It was a lot of warfare with some of the people who were meant to give, mostly in America, as the Lord told me the enemy was going to distract so many believers with their own problems and needs that it was going to blind them from giving to the Great Commission or understanding that as we obey the Lord He takes care of us to take care of HIS Great Commission, but the Lord always makes a way and made me understand that HE had called me to be depend on other people’s obedience that it was not easy but that it was all about the testimony, that this call would either bless, convict, correct, make disciples, be persecuted, falsely accused and everything else we go thru for the souls, but that those who are meant to understand would understand. It takes time to understand that when people reject is not you is the Holy Spirit they are rejecting as the word says, that the aroma of the Holy Spirit convicts and corrects, even if a word is not said and according to where the person is spiritually whether with Jesus or not is how their reaction to the Holy Spirit in us will be and is. Some people are comfortable in their sin and others are ready to become good soils, the Parable of the soils in Matthew 13 is a great teaching to understand this concept.

The Holy Spirit also placed me in Brooklyn in an area where there was a lot of the principalities trying to keep people in addiction, witchcraft, and much more to with love give the Good News of Jesus, clean and bring order in a house where my daughter also rented a room, go thru a hell of warfare, be rejected and do the will of the Lord. The Lord in every season provides other parts of the body who may fully understand or not the spiritual realm but still the Holy Spirit moves them to stand in intercession with this Great Commission and for the darkness not to end me in the process. After Brooklyn where also the jails and detention center were visited and evangelized, with organizations who would proclaim to be Christians, but were getting government funding and also did not evangelize, placing me with HIS Holy Spirit to share and disciple for 3 months, including immigrant families who were just arriving to the country and or area. By December of that year; I started hearing that I would be leaving and the country of Nicaragua, which was the first country to go to in Central America, where the Holy Spirit told my daughter and I to accompany me in going to the airport at 1PM where the Holy Spirit had me share the Good News of Jesus out loud in the whole airport in New York and to use the card that had been provided to get a plane ticket the next day to Nicaragua, where the Lord had me for 5 months, where as I landed I heard evil, they questioned me for a few hours, with the Holy Spirit having me translate for them as foreigners came in, it was heavy as the Lord always sends to very dark places where the principalities try to take over, by the end of Nicaragua where I was also heavily attacked but where I got to live what Holiness does, where people would come sit next to me confess, accept Jesus and state that they were feeling the Holiness. There were gang members, drug dealers, prostitutes who accepted Jesus and people who were heard and loved and then accepted Jesus.In Nicaragua I was also taught about how people use accessories for witchcraft and how important it is to pray over everything we are given in Jesus name, as principalities can not come in us unless we allow them to come in thru sexual relation, but they can cling to us. In Brazil was in Sao Paulo with the Cracolandia population, where hundreds of men and women of all ages were sitting on the floor in groups and one by one received the written Good News of Jesus in Portuguese and would ask for prayer in reverence to the Holy Spirit, would also be thankful. In Guatemala with the prostitutes room by room, one by one with the men who manage them also receiving the Good News of Jesus, in the markets and in churches that would invite to share the testimony of faith. In all of these countries people in humaness or to the eye have so little but give so much, so so much, they have no problem with giving and recognize the people of God, as they too know what it is not to have and depend on others, and in many ways lived one day at a time, by faith, where the Lord would remind of Matthew 6:24-34: ²⁴ “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.^[a] Do Not Be Anxious ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?^[b] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, ²⁹ yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ³⁴ “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Here in New York and Spain is where the need to buy things and have is most felt, as the spirits of lust and so much more are prevalent, but once people have an encounter with the Holy Spirit thru Jesus that is shared thru us, all of that changes and we understand that everything that comes thru our hands is for the Great Commission and that to live is Christ and to die is gain. The Lord takes away fear making us understand what it says in 1 John 4:18English Standard Version ¹⁸ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. In New York rolling around with a suitcase and your things signify homelessness, in other parts of the world is being a tourist, which are very interesting perspectives, which is a constant reminder of our identity while doing the Great Commission, after giving our lives to Jesus, which is what it says in Ephesians 1: ³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. ⁴ For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love ⁵ he^[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship^[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— ⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. ⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace ⁸ that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, ⁹ he^[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, ¹⁰ to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.¹¹ In him we were also chosen,^[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, ¹² in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. ¹³ And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. And 1 Peter 2: ⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

The Holy Spirit sent me to all of Central and South America, except for Venezuela, but covering the rest of the countries thru either bus and or airplane, with HIS provision, for the Great Commission, where people who were hearing the testimony thought and stated that I must have a lot of money to travel so much and I would share how when we have Jesus and are called by the Holy Spirit HE owns the gold and silver and that HE would move mountains for HIS Great Commission to be done. Bringing revival to churches, people, places and sharing the Good News of Jesus with the Holy Spirit’s fruits and gifts.In Colombia was in Medellin where in the parks and in different areas such as the Bronx in Medellin; where as soon as I would step out of the room the Lord placed me in there were people sleeping in the streets in big plastic bags, shooting heroin, selling their bodies and the Lord provided for new testament small Bibles and tracks about the Good News of Jesus, people were heard and seen, meals were shared as in many of the other countries, being reminded of the Jesus way of doing the Great Commission and many for HIS Glory and purpose came to Jesus. In Guatemala was in the markets and in places called La Linea, where there were railroad tracks running on a 3 or 4 blocks of rooms where there were men outside the rooms and women of all ages in each room, where the Holy Spirit had me go room by room to share the Good News of Jesus with the paper and by word, with also them being so thankful and we cried and cried together. In Bolivia and Ecuador the altitude was so strong that walking had to be done slowly, but the Good News of Jesus were given in the centers of each city placed people by people, out loud in buses and businesses by business. There were also connections in some of the countries with churches where the testimony was shared and people were anointed with the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit asked me to pray with them everyone on their knees. In Africa the Holy Spirit had me in two countries in two days, a few minutes in each, going to Paris for two days for the immigrants who either drove taxis, rented rooms, sold things in the Eiffel tower area. To also the Netherlands for a sister who needed encouragement for one night, then to New York, with the Holy Spirit making me realize that the Holy Spirit made a way for 21 countries to be done with HIS gifts and fruits and all for the specific souls that were reached whether in night clubs, in the streets, on the airplane, on the bus, at bus stops, airports, houses, hotels, hostels, missionary houses, like in El Salvador where the Holy Spirit sent me by airplane with only the address of a missionary house where the I did not check into any of the boxes to stay as an Apostle/Missionary, but the Holy Spirit would not let me leave and would make a way for me to stay for a month, paying at the end of the stay, where the areas where the Homeless, gang members, drug dealers and more would be to be taken out of the darkness in to the light of Jesus, to receive healing, restoration, forgiveness, purpose, gifts, fruits and eventually answer the Great Commission. In Spain I was placed in three cities, one for one month to share the Good News of Jesus and people accept Jesus, together with the woman who rented the studio. The second city in Spain for 15 days where there was a lot of misconception about Christianity because of what a group of people representing the darkness did in the name of Jesus, the inquisition and what the darkness has done and tried to do thru colonization. The third and last city in Spain was for the same, which was also a mini sodom and Gomorrah where a lot was permitted and offered as it was a tourist area, to cater and create a false evil places for the souls to go to a horrible place, but the Holy Spirit raises people to be the light in the darkness and counter all of that with the Good News of Jesus with the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit that we can find in Ephesians 4, Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12,13 and 14, and Galatians 5. So much happens in 21 countries, so much, we also go thru a lot for the souls, being reminded that the suffering Romans 8:18 Amplified Bible (AMP)For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! In most of the countries I was sent with the Holy Spirit for the Great Commission to the red zones with the same populations, it is a humbling honor to have access to the Lord’s creation.

In March of 2024 the Holy Spirit brought me back to New York, first being in the Times Square area, sharing and saturating the area with the Great Commission, then to Queens, to Manhattan, Manhattan in hotels, people’s home who needed to understand who’s they are and that they needed to do it the Lord’s ways, some to expose the principalities in their lives, some to challenge, some to plant the seed of the Good News of Jesus, being outside shelters some afternoons some all night and now in a discipleship home resting and unpacking, as well as doing as the Holy Spirit leads to do in Jesus name, all for the souls and the Great Commission. Arriving to New York I have been hearing to ASK, which is a different concept for me, but the Lord knows why HE is doing this. I have understood that is not to ask what I want, desire or dream, it is to ask according to HIS will and desires, for what is needed to keep doing the Great Commission. It is all about the Great Commission, as our biggest blessing is that we have Jesus and will be part of the New heaven and the new earth, as we are encouraged by 2 Peter 3:This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, ² that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, ³ knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. ⁴ They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” ⁵ For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, ⁶ and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. ⁷ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. ⁸ But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,^[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies^[b] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.^{[c] 11} Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, ¹² waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! ¹³ But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.Only HE knows how long HE will have me in this house and what fasting from getting to New York to Establish means. Also in Matthew 24:  ¹² And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. ¹³ But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. And 1 Timothy 4: 1 Timothy 4:12-16English Standard Version¹² Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. ¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. ¹⁵ Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,^[a] so that all may see your progress. ¹⁶ Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
