Less of me, more of You

Reading: Matthew 28: The Great Commission ¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. ¹⁷ And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. ¹⁸ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in  the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Proverbs 3: ⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

Zechariah 4: ⁶ Then 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 of hosts.

February 26, 2025. Today woke up, finished listening to the Bible in the book of Ezequiel where the Holy Spirit had me, where it speaks about what will happen and what is happening now with the Humbling of the Americas and beyond thru the current USA president, just like Nebuchadnezzar called God’s servant in that time, Nebuchadnezzar being God’s servant implies that the monarch was answerable to God for executing God’s assignments. Unfortunately, Nebuchadnezzar took the gift of his life of abundance, success and riches for granted. Nebuchadnezzar allowed pride to rule his life. He failed to acknowledge God as the one who bestowed on him his riches and power. The result of his foolish pride was that he fell from grace to grass. When the current president of the United States of America won I asked the Holy Spirit what was going on and I heard that the Lord uses “The foolish things to confound the wise” is a phrase from the Bible, specifically 1 Corinthians 1:27, which means that God often uses things that seem foolish or insignificant to the world to shame the wise and powerful, essentially proving that true wisdom comes from God and not human understanding; it highlights the idea that what might appear weak or silly can sometimes achieve great results and surprise those who consider themselves intelligent.  Key points about this phrase: Application: This phrase can be applied to situations where an idea or approach that might seem simple or even foolish at first can end up being very successful, proving that conventional wisdom isn’t always right.  Context:In the Bible verse, Paul is discussing how God chose the seemingly “foolish” things of the world, like the crucifixion of Jesus, to confound the wise and powerful of the time.  Meaning:It signifies that God can use unexpected and seemingly insignificant things to achieve great outcomes, often defying human logic and expectations. All of this the Holy Spirit revealed from December of last year and confirmed by the Holy Spirit thru also the Book of Ezequiel in the Bible, as we read the Scriptures in the Bible the Holy Spirit speaks to us, as the atmosphere is filled with HIS presence.

Yesterday a brother in Christ that the Holy Spirit had connected in a state in New York in a bookstore to anoint him with the Holy Spirit, who I was led by the Holy Spirit to ask for an offering twice sent an offering yesterday, to which I heard to wait till today to get the funds in a plaza the Holy Spirit had sent me a few times before to do the Great Commission. When the brother sent the funds the last time he sent this scripture with it, which was so the Holy Spirit: 1 Timothy 5: ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!”

The Holy Spirit leads whether to wait for the provision for that day or whether to ask, for sometime now HE has me asking at times HE has told me to test the hearts who have but do not understand giving for the Great Commission or that every provision is from the Lord to be used for HIS purposes, as HE has made me understand throughout time. The Holy Spirit has prompted people to send a monetary offering and or pray and the person or people have been obedient, which is a huge blessing for so many in the Great Commission, serving also as testimony, as the Holy Spirit always reminds me to testify, as nothing is about me, as I know who’s I am and where I am going, but to share so people can see how limitless and powerful the Lord is. Some people also have to see to believe, the Lord knows how HE speaks to each person to help us receive Jesus.

While getting ready to go the mother came up to me and handed me $1,000 pesos, told me of a couple of places she was going or needed to go, one being a town where she needed to go to which the Holy Spirit said Not to Go, as HE has not sent me there now and I needed to focus on the current locations. Also that the people with principalities or that have not given their lives to Jesus give yet, do things to get something back or for personal gain, until we understand what the Lord did as Jesus on the cross, repent, fall on their knees and proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit is always speaking to those HE chooses to indwell in and speak to. Not everyone surrenders or humbles themselves in order for the Holy Spirit to indwell or speak. The Lord loves a broken and contrite heart. This statement means that God values a heart that is humble and deeply repentant, recognizing one’s own shortcomings and turning to God with genuine sorrow and a willingness to change; it is often referenced from Psalm 51:17 which says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” Key points about this phrase: Biblical basis: Primarily found in Psalm 51:17, but also echoed in Isaiah 66:2 where God says He looks upon those who are “poor and of a contrite spirit”.  Humility: Acknowledging one’s dependence on God and not exalting oneself.  Contrition: A deep sense of remorse and regret for sin, leading to a desire to turn away from wrongdoing. 

The Holy Spirit had revealed that there would be a small pushback to receiving the funds, which gave an opportunity while waiting to give the Good News of Jesus and answer some questions to the taxi driver whom the Holy Spirit revealed that he is an Apostle, which the Holy Spirit led to share lunch with him as the Holy Spirit spoke thru me for him, which the $1,000 pesos covered the lunch and lemonades. The young Apostle as told to me by the Holy Spirit that the young man is for the Great Commission, shared how it had been hard for him to be part of a church as the one’s he had gone to focused more in his appearance which the Holy Spirit led to share about the teachers of the law, the Pharisees and sadducees, that the Lord asked for a whole chapter to be written for them in Matthew 23 and who also helped in him being crucified, that because they have not had an encounter with the Holy Spirit, they know the Bible and dress the part, but have none of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Going to the movies does not make us actors, just as just going into a building does not make us Christ followers and obidient, the Holy Spirit does. Which doe who are meant to understand do understand.

The young man took the left over food and the Holy Spirit said that that was the purpose with the taxi driver and the resources the Holy Spirit had me send him thru message after he left, letting him know that that was the only purpose and that was the only communication we would have till that moment. The Holy Spirit gives different gifts as we read in Ephesians 4:  ⁸ Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” ⁹ (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) ¹¹ And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, ¹² to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, ¹³ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, ¹⁴ so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. ¹⁵ Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, ¹⁶ from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

I was led in the store to try a black dress so when the funds came in the dress could be bought. The Holy Spirit had me arrive around 12noon and the funds came in around 3pm, by then the Good News of Jesus had been given out loud and in the paper thru the whole plaza, person by person and out loud, as led by the Holy Spirit. The plaza across the street was also covered with some people being thankful to receive the Good News of Jesus, with some saying no, that says: 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. 🖤 Free Bible App: http://www.youversion.com/the-bible-app/ Go to: Less-of-me-more-of-you.com

After receiving the funds, being led to share an amount of it with a young missionary that the Lord connected with in the food area of the a plaza who thru an organization sells books about the teachings of Jesus to get funding for the mission in the countries the Lord sends them to, who shared that he had been taken out of the plaza for selling the books, but it was also to have the conversation that was to be had and the anointing of the Holy Spirit for him and the prayer for me that the Lord had him do for me and that was a confirmation of somethings the Lord had told me personally. In tears the young missionary received the amount the Holy Spirit had told me to put aside and it was for him and the Great Commission in his life, to which he asked if we could take pictures together to share it with the other young missionaries and I was led to take a picture too to share here. Thanking the Lord for HIS faithfulness and how HE shows us HE is always with us from our mothers womb until HE comes back, as we answer the Great Commission with the Holy Spirit’s leading and authority. All for the souls and for those who need to understand what the Holy Spirit needs us to understand to be part of HIS Great Commission and be loved by HIM. We are never alone and become the Lord’s official sons and daughter when proclaiming Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Some needed items and items for the Great Commission, as well as meals and items for a few people were able to be gotten with the offering the brother in Christ was led to send in obedience to the asking, as well as transportation, with some left for what ever else the Holy Spirit leads to do in the Great Commission. 3 bracelets with colorful beads and an anchor, signifying what all the colors mean in the Bible and that the Lord is our anchor when we proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, were also gotten one for me, one for a young lady who received the Good News of Jesus and said there was such a strong sense of Peace with me to which the Holy Spirit had me share about the fact that the Lord thru the Bible teaches us that by the Holy Spirit fruits we will be know, as we know who’s we are, that we are never alone and where we are going after all of this, which is to be in the presence of the Lord for eternity, as we have proclaimed Jesus as our Lord and Savior, have gotten baptized by submersion in water, going thru the new birth, where we leave the old and get filled with the Holy Spirit and answering the Great Commission. The mother of the home the Holy Spirit has me in was also given one bracelet, highlighting the anchor, and telling her as led by the Holy Spirit that the Lord is as anchor.
