Readings:(Before reading the Bible ask the Holy Spirit to let you understand what HE needs you to understand) 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.
Ezequiel 34: Then this message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds, the leaders of Israel. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: What sorrow awaits you shepherds who feed yourselves instead of your flocks. Shouldn’t shepherds feed their sheep? 3 You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve. 4 You have not taken care of the weak. You have not tended the sick or bound up the injured. You have not gone looking for those who have wandered away and are lost. Instead, you have ruled them with harshness and cruelty. 5 So my sheep have been scattered without a shepherd, and they are easy prey for any wild animal. 6 They have wandered through all the mountains and all the hills, across the face of the earth, yet no one has gone to search for them.
7 “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, you abandoned my flock and left them to be attacked by every wild animal. And though you were my shepherds, you didn’t search for my sheep when they were lost. You took care of yourselves and left the sheep to starve. 9 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord. 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I now consider these shepherds my enemies, and I will hold them responsible for what has happened to my flock. I will take away their right to feed the flock, and I will stop them from feeding themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths; the sheep will no longer be their prey.
The Good Shepherd
11 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search and find my sheep. 12 I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock. I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day. 13 I will bring them back home to their own land of Israel from among the peoples and nations. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel and by the rivers and in all the places where people live. 14 Yes, I will give them good pastureland on the high hills of Israel. There they will lie down in pleasant places and feed in the lush pastures of the hills. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and give them a place to lie down in peace, says the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and I will bring them safely home again. I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak. But I will destroy those who are fat and powerful. I will feed them, yes—feed them justice!
17 “And as for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to his people: I will judge between one animal of the flock and another, separating the sheep from the goats. 18 Isn’t it enough for you to keep the best of the pastures for yourselves? Must you also trample down the rest? Isn’t it enough for you to drink clear water for yourselves? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Why must my flock eat what you have trampled down and drink water you have fouled?
20 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will surely judge between the fat sheep and the scrawny sheep. 21 For you fat sheep pushed and butted and crowded my sick and hungry flock until you scattered them to distant lands. 22 So I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be abused. I will judge between one animal of the flock and another. 23 And I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will feed them and be a shepherd to them. 24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among my people. I, the Lord, have spoken!
The Lord’s Covenant of Peace
25 “I will make a covenant of peace with my people and drive away the dangerous animals from the land. Then they will be able to camp safely in the wildest places and sleep in the woods without fear. 26 I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing. 27 The orchards and fields of my people will yield bumper crops, and everyone will live in safety. When I have broken their chains of slavery and rescued them from those who enslaved them, then they will know that I am the Lord. 28 They will no longer be prey for other nations, and wild animals will no longer devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will frighten them.
29 “And I will make their land famous for its crops, so my people will never again suffer from famines or the insults of foreign nations. 30 In this way, they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them. And they will know that they, the people of Israel, are my people, says the Sovereign Lord. 31 You are my flock, the sheep of my pasture. You are my people, and I am your God. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
Psalm 27: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2027&version=NLT
March 4, 2025. Today after waking up every two hours as it happens in some of the territories placed for the Great Commission; prayed, listened to the Bible on the BibleGateway.com internet page, in the Book of Psalms which is the Book the Holy Spirit has me in now, after Ezequiel. Made breakfast and lunch as I heard to make, boiling sweet potatoes with a fried egg with onions for breakfast with some warm coconut milk, regular milk, sugar and instant coffee in a cup and sweet pepper and Yautia with the ground meat from the day before for lunch. I was led to put some of the teachings given thru Charles Stanley in a free internet page, which I will share at the end of this post, as led by the Holy Spirit to share, as the messages are given 24/7 so they can be heard as led by the Holy Spirit at anytime, even when the darkness will not let us sleep.
Ephesians 6: 10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
Then I was led to take pictures of the nations that are being impacted by this page of discipleship and testimonies. I can not see the individuals who read or listen to them, but I can see the countries, which is such a confirmation, as the Holy Spirit told me to start this page in the midst of the pandemic and that people from all over the world would be discipled. What a father, what a savior we have, HE is so faithful and pursues us till HE comes back, as HE will come back, as we read in the Bible. While listening to worship and placing the teachings for the man who cleans to listen to thru the small speaker, the son of the home who stayed as the mother went to another town where she was invited to speak as a writer who was born in that town, and who ever else had ears to hear. When the man who cleans arrived I felt dizzy, like I was going to pass out, as he is so heavy spiritually with all the things that have happened, but I did hear he will be saved this morning. The teachings in the speaker from Charles Stanley as heard from the Holy Spirit to put the speaker on the window. I started feeling better, the dizziness and all of the rest going away as the Holy Spirit spoke thru the teachings and filled the atmosphere. The resistance to the Holy Spirit was palpable in the air, the spirits of darkness manifesting in the people who have not received Jesus fully, which was a reminder/confirmation given by one of the disciples that drives a taxi thru the Holy Spirit in him, but the Holy Spirit kept pointing out which teachings to put, with me staying in the room as the teachings played in the speaker. They are receiving in Jesus name. All for the souls and those who are meant to understand to understand, in Jesus name, all for the Great Commission.
1 John 4: Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. 2 This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. 3 But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 5 Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them. 6 But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.
Loving One Another
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. 20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer,[c] that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.
After listening to the teachings, the Holy Spirit started telling me to let’s start getting ready to go to the neighborhood HE has been sending me for the Great Commission, to share the Good News of Jesus and now build disciples, as the Holy Spirit led to today start the book of Acts with the men and women in the neighborhood, who will be as the Holy Spirit sparks the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit in them, as the Lord does with those who are meant to understand. With the provision sent as the Holy Spirit led who to ask so much was done in the Great Commission. First I was led to take a taxi from an app, where the driver mentioned as many do until the conviction of the Holy Spirit comes that his parents or mom are Christians. I was led to share with the young taxi driver the testimony of being pursued by the Lord, until understanding what HE did on the cross for us thru HIS Holy Spirt in Jesus, who is God who came as a man to live as fully human, go thru everything we go thru and die on the cross for us to be saved, to have eternal life, to have identity, purpose, healing, restoration, fruits, gifts after repenting, proclaiming Jesus as our Lord and Savior, getting baptized in submersion in water and receiving the Holy Spirit. I was led to pray before the taxi driver dropped me off in the all in one store in the neighborhood the Holy Spirit was sending me to, praying that the anointing of the Holy Spirit fell in the young man in Jesus name. The Holy Spirit reminded me of Ananias and Saul who then became Paul, as the Holy Spirit gives us HIS identity when HE anoints us and chooses to indwell in us to be loved by HIM and be part of the Great Commission.
Romans 8: NASB 29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
After giving the Good News of Jesus in the all in one store out loud, taking out some of the funds as led by the Holy Spirit, giving the Good News of Jesus and doing the discipleship with the book of Acts in one of the bar/clubs with some of the men and women who also were walking by and would stop and listen, with one of the men repenting and proclaiming Jesus as his Lord and Savior and being anointed with the Holy Spirit, after also going thru the alleys and businesses in that block, as led by the Holy Spirit, with one of the men testifying to another of the ways of the Lord who sends me inside each place, to which I cried sensing the Holy Spirit in that testimony of the man to the other. To them as to many is amazing that a woman “alone” goes to that neighborhood, to which I am led to say by the Holy Spirit that I am not or ever alone, that one of us who has the Holy Spirit is worth a thousand, that I have heard the soldiers that are with me, that also the the Holy Spirit as Apostles gives us spiritual vision, so we do not see people as the situation that we are in before Jesus, but the purposes the Holy Spirit has with our lives for the Great Commission. That is why we are given all the gifts of the Holy Spirit as the Holy Spirit knows how to speak to each person and knows each person individually. That is why the Apostles are given the major gifts to manifest the kingdom of heaven on earth. I cry as I write this sensing the presence of the Lord in all of it.
GIFTS of The Holy Spirit as per Ephesians 4:
Ephesians 4:11-13: But to each one of us, grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers, to equip his people for the works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” ~

I was then led to walk back to the all in one store in the neighborhood, before that feeding and giving some money to some of the people in the neighborhood, as led by the Holy Spirit with the provision the Holy Spirit sent thru the two women whom I was led to ask yesterday, one sent $100 dollars and the other $20 dollars, which $20 dollars was first sent to the person the Holy Spirit led the same day and another $20 to another person. So much is done with the provisions sent by those who choose to believe even thought they can’t physically see what is being done with the Great Commission, for so many souls are impacted, in Jesus name.
Then the Holy Spirit sent me to a local mall to get a folding chair to have for the Great Commission, as the chairs in the clubs and spaces where the discipleship is being done in the neighborhood the Holy Spirit has led to do the discipleship are very high. On the way to the mall the taxi driver was shared the Good News of Jesus, with the testimony of being called and faith, with me also mentioning to please go thru a specific entrance so that I can get to the bathroom faster, as the bathroom in the all in one store was closed, but it was also to give the link for this page to a man who was sad and disappointed that the store clerk did not let me use the bathroom, but it was for the taxi driver to stop and let me us the bathroom in his and his mother’s home, which was such a blessing and I don’t know if I would have made it to the bathroom in the mall. I was reminded of: Matthew 10: 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
I was led to get some vitamin C, eye drop, salmon cream cheese, bread to share, Asian chips, laundry detergent, a 7 day internet package for the phone, and a folding chair, as well as to get dinner in the food court area to give the Good News of Jesus out loud and pray laying hands with some of the workers while them being anointed with the Holy Spirit. One of the young Christians from the call center was walking in as the Holy Spirit was taking me out of the mall. Then I was led to save half of the dinner bought, sharing some chips with some of the workers and the rest of the chips after having also some with the taxi driver who shared he had not had dinner, which only the Holy Spirit knew. I was led to sit in the front in the car, before getting on the car, there was a man who was having a hard time carrying some bags, I was led to ask him if he needed help as he was sort of limping, he said not thank you, to which as the taxi that I was led to take came I was led to ask the man if he had proclaimed Jesus as his Lord and Savior to which he answered that he was learning or something like that, to which the Holy Spirit led to pray over his hurting knee and to be filled with the Holy Spirit to which he started bending his knee and was told to give all the glory to God, the alpha and the omega and the only one for whom the testimony needed to be about. I then got on the taxi, praying that all that was released and done the whole day would go where ever it needed to go and for the Holy Spirit to seal all of it. The young man who drove the taxi was so thankful as the Holy Spirit also led to give him a bit more than what the fare was, together with one of the papers that comes with six of the Good News of Jesus papers so that he could make copies to give out to people as the Holy Spirit led. 29 copies of the Good News of Jesus papers were made, which the provision sent was for that. At the end of the day gave money that was received before leaving for the mother of the home that the father of the son had sent, received right before the taxi came to go where the Lord was first sending me, and was given to her when arriving, which was used by the Holy Spirit to have a powerful Holy Spirit filled and led conversation with the mother, with her listening and speaking while in the room the Holy Spirit has me in, sharing some of the bread and cream cheese with her. Glory to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. All for the souls and the Great Commission.
