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

Reading for today Acts 28.

August 31, 2024. Today woke up, listened to the Bible on the app, prayed and started getting ready to go to the area where the Lord was sending me here in Cleveland, Ohio, as I heard downtown. I had gotten some rest yesterday after a midnight flight and all that had unfolded in the Dominican Republic with my mom, a man from the past, and my brother. It was a lot that happened in the Dominican Republic, as there was a man from the past that was insisting in us being together, but there was an off sense in the spirit and I kept hearing a song about guarding my heart the whole time. Then I was led to tell him that we should not speak anymore as it was not clear in the spirit that we should be together and his motives were not of God. When I arrived to Cleveland, Ohio a sister who is so anointed by the Holy Spirit said she heard as she and I spoke on the phone about the man the word Deception with a snake sound. I blocked the man and heard as I prayed to stay away from him. Also the situation with my mom who does not understand that my brother being possessed, as he picked up that principality in the streets, my mom, with whom I heard manipulation, wanting to live with him even thought he has isolated her, my bother had been hurt in the neighborhood and had hurt people, did not click for my mom that he needed to leave that area and be placed somewhere. A while ago a night that my mom was staying with us in Yonkers, NY I asked the Lord to give her a dream about what needed to happen with my brother and the Lord gave her a dream that my brother was going to hit rock bottom than get back up. I had a vision of him being in the streets and then him preaching after he was delivered. The other day before I was sent to Cleveland, Ohio, my brother was taken by three men to an institution without him knowing that day he would be taken. Then I kept hearing to come to Cleveland, Ohio and I came. I had to process all that had happened with the Lord, cry out to him and ask for direction and refilling, as it has been a hard season in many ways, but that so much has been done with the Great Commission. I am still affected by what is happening spiritually with my mom and brother, but praying that the Lord who is a God of order has HIS hand in all of this.

It is only by the Grace of God that we can look the way we look as we go thru what we go thru in the Great Commission. I am reminded of the story in the book of Daniel where the men were thrown in the fire and one more came out with them, which was the Lord and they did not smell like burned or look like it, it is in Daniel 3: ²⁶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. ²⁷ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. ²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside^[c] the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God. ²⁹ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.” ³⁰ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon. The Good News of Jesus has been given to the people who work at the motel, as well as a couple who as I walked to the area across the street was sitting at the stairs of the motel, who had accepted Jesus a while ago but have been living together without getting married. A prayer for the anointing of the Holy Spirit was done, the woman cried with the presence of the Holy Spirit and then they were so thankful for my obedience. I started walking to the businesses across the street, giving the Good News of Jesus paper and getting some needed items.

Then I was led to take the bus, the Good News of Jesus was shared out loud in the bus, as well as giving the Good News of Jesus paper one by one as led by the Holy Spirit. The bus ride was almost an hour. Once arriving to the area where I had been led to go to and the couple also mentioned was an area where there was a lot going on as there were groups of men who seemed homeless and that were doing somethings and dealing with different situations and spirits. There was a sense of hopelessness and addiction. The Good News of Jesus paper was given one by one, with some receiving it and throwing it on the floor, with also others receiving it saying thank you and being encouraging to keep sharing the Good News of Jesus. Then I was led to go in to the center plaza, giving the Good News of Jesus paper, praying for the area, for the Lord to fill the area and town with the Holy Spirit. Then I heard to walk to the bus stop, on the way the Good News of Jesus paper was given to the people as I was led. On the bus the Good News of Jesus was given out loud and stopped at a telephone company to get a new sim card and the Good News of Jesus paper was given to a young couple and the man who works there. Then after getting the sim card I was led to take the bus to the place where the Lord has me staying. When getting off the bus I was led to go to a store across the street, giving the Good News of Jesus paper to a worker which I believe he was the focus in the store.

I am writing this post on August 2, 2024, as yesterday was so heavy and brutal spiritual and had to stay in to also spend time with the Lord unpacking everything, hearing from him and crying out to HIM for clear directions, as I kept hearing a state, but I have the flight to the Dominican Republic and a training for a job once the week starts. I asked a sister if we could pray and she said she was in church but sent me: that she heard for me to follow thru with the Dominican Republic and the job, Believing our Father for victory and favor over your life! Psalm 91 and Zachariah 4:6: So he answered and 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 of hosts. Which are two scriptures the Lord gives me a lot. I had a very brutal spiritual day yesterday yesterday; where I also expressed a lot to my mom and my daughter, who is meeting me there and will be there before I arrive. I am praying as always that the Lord’s kingdom come and will is done. Today I woke up feeling better spiritually, the Great Commission will be done here till Saturday, August 3, 2024, morning when is the day I am leaving to the Dominican Republic. Thankful for those who are praying for both my daughter and I, for this Great Commission. Thankful for those who have also been led to give for this Great Commission and those who are being led to give moving forward, in Jesus name.

I have been led to share testimonies in this blog/podcast page of teachings and testimonies by the Holy Spirit. I have been also led to ask For However the Lord leads to be of support monetarily to this Great Commission, 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. Thankful for those who have answered to the invitation to be partners with this Great Commission thru monetary support and prayer for both my daughter and I, as you can read and see in the posts it is all used for the 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.
