John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
February 12, 2025. Today heard from the Holy Spirit to pray in the room, listening to the Bible, putting on the full armor, covering with the blood of Jesus, so that I could sit in the living room with the mother and son, to do my nails and for the son to read the Bible out loud so we can have a discipleship time. It is so encouraging to see the Holy Spirit at work and God being God in our lives and in people’s lives. I am constantly praying and it is HIS desire for our lives to be part of the miracles and wonders of the Holy Spirit. We are born to be loved by the Lord, to Love HIM and to answer the Great Commission. It is not easy, if someone knows it is not easy is the Lord who came to be a man, fully human.
After the discipleship time with the mother and son, was led to make lunch to leave made for the mother too, as there was food prepared for the son, then start getting ready to go La 42 to do the Great Commission: Matthew 28 The Great Commission 16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” in Jesus name.
Despite the challenges it faces, La 42 is a neighborhood with great potential. It is a place full of hard-working and creative people, who are determined to build a better future for themselves and their children.
Here are some interesting facts about the La 42 neighborhood:
The population of the neighborhood is estimated at around 90,000 people.
Most of the neighborhood’s inhabitants are young, between 15 and 35 years old.
Unemployment is a major problem in the neighborhood, with an estimated unemployment rate of around 30%.
Crime is a serious problem in the neighborhood, with a homicide rate that is several times higher than the national average.
La 42 is a major center of Dominican urban music. Some of the most famous urban artists in the Dominican Republic, such as El Alfa, Rochy RD, and Chimbala, hail from the neighborhood.
La 42 is a complex and challenging neighborhood, but it is also a place full of life and hope. It is a neighborhood that is changing, and that has the potential to become a better place for its inhabitants.(Information gotten from Red Pública Dominicana.)
I was led to go to the second part of La 42 where there are a lot of groups of men and women, mostly men in the indoor business doing different things. There is a lot of loud music playing to which the Holy Spirit sometimes gives a song that is Christian with the same beat, the authority and anointing of the Holy Spirit is the most important part of doing the Great Commission, with HIS fruits and gifts. I was led to take a motorcycle taxi to get there and back, which were also to share the Good News of Jesus with the drivers who each way were young men from that area. People were very receptive to the Holy Spirit in me, receiving one by one and in groups the Good News of Jesus paper and out loud, in some places ending in circles holding to the wrist receiving words as the Holy Spirit in me gave them. Some remembered the time food was brought and prayed for, as well as some giving me a bottle of water and making sure I was “safe”, which the Holy Spirit reminds us that one of us is worth a thousand, and even though we are spiritually, opposition rises in some of the places, but where the Holy Spirit sends, HE will make sure we are protected and have all we need thru people. Constantly I am asked where the congregation is, as they feel the Love of the Holy Spirit, to which I am led to share the testimony of being called to plant the seeds in the streets where the Holy Spirit leads, so that the body of Christ can rise and answer the Great Commission in their neighborhoods and where ever the Holy Spirit places us. We are the Pauls, the Abrahams, the Moses, the Ruth, the Esthers, the Mary’s of this times and raising more disciples till the Lords comes. HE will come and those who have placed their lives in action to Jesus/ Holy Spirit will be part of the New Heaven and New Earth as we read in Revelations 21: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.[a] 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” 6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. 7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. 8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” 9 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 So he took me in the Spirit[b] to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal. 12 The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. 13 There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.[c] 17 Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick[d] (according to the human standard used by the angel).
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones:[e] the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass. 22 I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. 24 The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. 25 Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. 26 And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. 27 Nothing evil[f] will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
People ask me how is the Great Commission done without fear and the answer is with the filling of the Holy Spirit, that is where the fruits and the gifts flow from, I remember when I first was called I had never read the Bible, which now I can not stop reading and the Holy Spirit will say what to read for each territory being sent to and season. Also the Holy Spirit does not let us see the person according to what we are doing in that moment, but how HE sees them and the expectation of what we will be once they are engaged by the Holy Spirit once we accept Jesus and get baptized by submersion in water, just as HE did with John the baptist in Matthew 3.
1 John 4: 7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. 13 And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 14 Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19 We love each other[b] because he loved us first.
Everyday I am led to pray to be filled with all of the fruits of the Spirit as we read in Galatians 5: 16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
Thanking the Lord for what HE did on the cross, as Jesus, so we could receive the Holy Spirit and be also filled with gifts as we read in Ephesians 4: 11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. The Bible together with the Holy Spirit are our manual, as we read in 2 Timothy 3: 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. John 1: In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. Matthew 4: Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. 3 During that time the devil[a] came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’
At the end of the day was led by the Holy Spirit to pray with a lady across the street and she was so touched by the Holy Spirit, as she was feeling a but discouraged and sad that she offered to make the 50 copies of the Good News of Jesus paper and said that that is her offering for the Great Commission. I was also led to take a walk with the mother who needed to go to the supermarket, but was also a vessel for others to receive the Good News of Jesus paper and prayer, and for me to get some needed items and food. Right now I am expecting miracles and wonders in the form of money, as I used the last of the offerings today and I know the Holy Spirit will move those HE needs to move to give for this Great Commission, in Jesus name.
Thankful for those who are praying for both my daughter and I, as well as those who have been and will be of monetary support of keep raising disciples. The information for the offerings will be below and any amount is never too little or too much, all for the souls, for transportation and anything else needed.
Please consider being part of this Great Commission with how ever much the Holy Spirit leads you, it will be a blessing to so many. I only ask because the Holy Spirit has asked me to ask. To get some needed items, transportation, food which is also being led to be given in some vulnerable areas where the Good News of Jesus will be given and other needed expenses for the Great Commission, as led by the Holy Spirit. Please be a partner with what the Holy Spirit is doing for the souls.
1 Corinthians 11:1 TLV: Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah.
Acts 20:35 TLV “In all things I have shown you an object lesson—that by hard work one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Yeshua, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’’
