Less of me, more of You

Reading: Genesis 16, to read the story of Hagar and see how the Holy Spirit speaks to us, with it in Jesus name and how we put in action in our lives today.

In the Bible, Hagar was an Egyptian slave who became the wife of Abraham and the mother of his son Ishmael. She is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. 

Story of Hagar

1. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, gave Hagar to Abraham to bear him a child because Sarah was unable to conceive. 
2. Hagar became pregnant and Sarah treated her harshly. 
3. Hagar fled into the wilderness, where she met an angel of the Lord. 
4. The angel told Hagar to return to Sarah and submit to her, and promised to multiply her offspring. 
5. Hagar named the Lord “El-roi” (God who sees). 
6. Hagar returned home and bore Ishmael to Abraham. 
7. Sarah, having borne Isaac, told Abraham to cast out Hagar and Ishmael. 

Significance of Hagar’s story

Hagar’s story is significant because she is the only person in the Hebrew Bible to give God a name. It also shows that God cares for those who have been abandoned or left to fend for themselves. It shows that when we have been chosen and have proclaimed Jesus as our Lord and Savior and are doing the Great Commission we are never alone and the Holy Spirit is always with us, inside of us, the creator of the Universe, the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End. 

March 6, 2025. Today after waking up every two hours, was woken up at 7am by the Holy Spirit to listen to three chapters of the Book of Psalms in the Bible, put on the full armor of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, place the day in the Lord’s hands and go to the kitchen to spread the Joy of the Holy Spirit and pray with both the mother and the man who cleans, as the moment the man walks in the home they start talking about problems, people and are so miserable, but the Holy Spirit will keep working and moving in this home in Jesus name. The messages that the Holy Spirit gives to give them are given to them and I am constantly reminded of the traits we possess when we do not have Jesus and the ones we are filled with after repenting and proclaiming Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I do get tired, as the principalities manifest more and more in the man who cleans, the mother and the son, and I tell the Lord and the Lord tells me: “So do I, as you feel what I feel, but I love my creation, I am not coming back till everyone has heard and those who are meant to understand understand so let’s keep moving forward and remember no weapon formed against you can prosper.”

According to the Bible, in Genesis 6:6, it states that “the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth,” meaning that due to the widespread wickedness of humanity at that time, God felt deep sorrow and grief over his creation of mankind, although this “regret” is often interpreted as a strong expression of disappointment rather than a literal change of mind from a perfect God. 

Key points about this verse:

• Context: This verse appears in the story of Noah’s Ark, where God decides to flood the earth to cleanse it of evil. 
• Interpretation: Many theologians explain that “regret” here is a human-like way of describing God’s deep sadness and disappointment at the state of humanity, not implying that God actually made a mistake. 
• Verse reference: Genesis 6:  ⁵ The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. ⁶ So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.

Then heard from the Holy Spirit: ” We have to go”. Started getting ready and when leaving I heard which way to start walking, telling me the Holy Spirit street by street to walk thru, where people were given the Good News of Jesus out loud and thru the paper. So much happens the moment we step out of the bed and as we are Holy Land as the Holy Spirit lives in us. First I heard to turn left and then right and there were many people in front and inside the businesses in the area the Holy Spirit sent me to. The Holy Spirit sent me to some specific individuals that HE knew would be there, such as a chaplain that was outside the court of justice of the area who the Holy Spirit led me to give some words and anoint with the Holy Spirit, a group of people that were outside the court and some of the workers inside the court. It was refreshing to see how ready they were to receive what the Holy Spirit had for them after the warfare that I go thru with the people who live in the home the Holy Spirit has me and the man who cleans, until they are filled by the Holy Spirit thru Jesus. The Holy Spirit gives us understanding so much understanding, but I still cry as I write this, as the principalities and the darkness use the people closes to us at times to attack the most, before or after a victory for the souls, as they have no mercy, as the Holy Spirit told me at the beginning of the call in 2015, and reminds me not to spect mercy, which is the contrary of what the world/enemy of our souls makes us believe from childhood, which is basically idolatry and even thought it is painful mostly because it is painful to think that people would end up in hell or not get to experience all that comes with having Jesus as our Lord and Savior, the freedom, the confidence, we are never alone, we know who’s we are, our purpose, where we are going at the end of all of this, I pray and tell the Lord not to leave me from the New Heaven and the New Earth.

Another specific person was a woman in an accessories shop that seemed to have other beliefs that were bringing darkness into her life, an earring was bought which sparked the conversation about Jesus, the testimony of accepting HIM and being called, to which she received the Good News of Jesus paper and asked where was my home, to which I answered that for sometime now the Lord is my home and HE places me where HE needs me for the Great Commission. In the time the Holy Spirit had me in the shop I was led to pray for the place and for her to be filled with the Holy Spirit, with each of the items, as well as the one I was led to get. I am still not sure if I was meant to pray with her laying hands on her, as my eyes were so blurry in there, as it was so heavy spiritually. I kept praying in a low voice as I left the shop. Then kept walking giving the Good News of Jesus to people as the Holy Spirit led, asking a pizza place if I could use the bathroom, but they required a purchase to which I did not have enough to get anything but I was still led to give them the Good News of Jesus paper and tell them may God keep blessing them, even thought they did not allow me to use the bathroom and the Lord reminded me of Matthew 10:42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” Which was also a reminder the other day, but this time the purpose was the message, as I heard to walk thru another street and give the Good News of Jesus to the three men that worked inside the hotel, restaurant/casino and they pointed me to a very nice bathroom as I asked if I could use the bathroom. The Lord, Jesus, Holy Spirit knows all, as it was a very nice bathroom, with everything needed in it, which can be an adventure with the Great Commission. My daughter would tell me that should do a bathroom blog, as there are all kinds of bathrooms and situations with them all over the world.

I always ask the Holy Spirit, which is also HIS desire to please let me see the beauty in the places of HIS creation, that is possibly why I am led to take so many pictures most of the time, depending on the situation. God’s creation is so perfect and HE is in everything good and beautiful , HE is everywhere, not in the evil God did not create evil. As punishment for his disobedience and the grave dishonoring of his angelic post, God cast Lucifer out of heaven by hurling him and his army of fallen angels to Earth (Isaiah 14:15; Ezekiel 28:16-18; Revelation 12:9) and condemning them ultimately to hell (Matthew 25:41). We can read more about God, Jesus, Holy Spirit’s creation in the Book of Genesis, in the Bible.

Genesis 1: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. ³ Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.

⁶ Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” ⁷ And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. ⁸ God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day. ⁹ Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened. ¹⁰ God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. ¹² The land produced vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

¹³ And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day. ¹⁴ Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. ¹⁵ Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. ¹⁶ God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. ¹⁷ God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, ¹⁸ to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day.

²⁰ Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” ²¹ So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” ²³ And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day. ²⁴ Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. ²⁵ God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

²⁶ Then God said, “Let us make human beings^[b] in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth,^[c] and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” ²⁷ So God created human beings^[d] in his own image. In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. ²⁸ Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” ²⁹ Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. ³⁰ And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened. ³¹ Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.

At the end of the walk I was led to stop by a home where there was a sign for a food called pastel en hoja, which is typical in the Caribbean and other parts of the world have different versions of it, which has African origin. In the home was a woman cleaning who seemed very disturbed and a woman who made the food who was very heavy in weight and spiritually as discerned in the Holy Spirit, with dark lines on her face. I was led to give her the Good News of Jesus paper and she said she is Pentecostal. I started feeling a stabbing on my back to which I was led to ask her if she was in pain and she said yes, as the Holy Spirit lets us feel what people are feeling so we can pray with compassion in Jesus name. We prayed and she started praising the Lord and crying as she sensed the Holy Spirit had sent me to alleviate what she was going thru. She was then led to pray for me as her body was in a praying position with her top part of the body and hands on the table. She kept thanking me to which I am always led to tell people to please thank the Holy Spirit because I am only a vessel. All glory to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit who is the only one who can give identity, healing, restoration, forgiveness, eternal life with the Lord in the New Heaven and New Earth, purpose and much more. Nothing good comes out of our flesh without the Holy Spirit.

When arriving to the home; I was led to make lunch and boil for 45 minutes the pasteles en hojas that were brought for the time the woman mentioned to cook them, sharing them with the mother, son and the man who cleans. Praying over the pasteles en hojas to be sanctified and cleaned by the Holy Spirit, as I am led to pray when going to eat something that was cooked by someone else or as the Holy Spirit leads. The man who cleans then left and the mother ordered some white sweet potatoes and evaporated milk to make a coconut and white sweet potatoes jam, she also gave me $1,132.00 Dominican pesos, for what ever was needed, praising the Lord . The principalities in the man who cleans, son and the mother activate more in the afternoon and night, as the son and the principalities in him walks by me and laughs, which I rebuke as he is walking by out loud. The son thru the principalities tells me mean things to which I answer that the only identity I receive are from the Lord and people who have the Holy Spirit and he leaves.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” is a quote from the Bible, John 10:10. In this passage, Jesus contrasts himself with the thief, saying that he came to give people life. 

Explanation

• In John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”. 
• In this passage, Jesus is referring to the devil as the thief. 
• In 1 Peter 5:8, the Bible says, “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”. 
• Jesus also says, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). 

The idea is that people can defend thru Jesus/Holy Spirit against the deceptions of satan and the principalities who would seek to steal, kill, and destroy by knowing the truth and knowing God’s voice.  John 10: ²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, ²⁹ for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else.^[a] No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.

It sometimes sounds like someone is trying to open the room door at times, which is the enemies of our souls or the lights go out only in the room I am in with the Holy Spirit, or the son with the principalities that possess him stands at the window or laughs when I rebuke the principalities in him, or the lights flicker, like in an island in Nicaragua where the principalities would shut the lights off in restaurants and where I would sleep and I would hear from the Holy Spirit: “The enemy does not want you here, but no weapon formed against you can prosper.”

“No weapon formed against me shall prosper” is a quote from the Bible, Isaiah 54:17. The verse continues, “And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn”. 

Explanation 

In this verse, the Lord is declaring that no weapon formed against his servants will prevail. The Lord will protect his servants and vindicate them from accusations. 

Additional information

• The verse is a promise that the Lord will protect his servants and vindicate them from accusations. 
• The verse is a gift from the Lord to his servants. 

Everything in our lives is spiritual, there is the Holy Spirit that is worth thousands and thousands and then there are the enemies of our souls: Satan and his principalities. When answering the Great Commission we are soldiers in a war for our souls and other people’s souls, but Jesus/Holy Spirit always wins, as those who are meant to understand understand that Jesus is the way the truth and the life and the only way to get to God, as when we repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we get healing, forgiveness, restoration, purpose, eternal life, fruits, gifts and those who will choose to be sons and daughters of perdition will also make their choice.

Ephesians 6: The Whole Armor of God 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. ¹⁶ In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.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. ¹⁹ And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.

The phrase “son of perdition” appears in the Bible in John 17:12 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3. It refers to a person who is doomed to destruction or eternal damnation. 

John 17:12 

• In this verse, Jesus refers to Judas Iscariot as the “son of perdition”. Jesus says that he protected his disciples, but Judas was the only one who was lost.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 

• In this verse, the Apostle Paul refers to the “man of lawlessness” as the “son of perdition”. This refers to the Antichrist, who will appear before Christ’s return.

Translations

• In many Bible versions, the phrase “son of perdition” is translated as “son of destruction”. 
• The New International Version (NIV) translates the phrase as “the man doomed to destruction”. 
• The Luther Bible translates the phrase in John as “das verlorene Kind” (the lost child). 
• In 2 Thessalonians, the Luther Bible translates the phrase as “das Kind des Verderbens” (the child of corruption). 

The narrow door in the Bible is a reference to the narrow path to life, which is described in Matthew 7:13-14 and Luke 13:22-30. 

Matthew 7:13-14 

• “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it”.
• “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it”.

Luke 13:22-30 

• “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able”.

Explanation

The narrow door is a parable for the path to eternal life(The New Heaven and the New Earth, as described in Revelations 21), which is difficult to find and requires self-sacrifice. The broad road, on the other hand, is the path to destruction, which is easy to follow and leads to temporary pleasures. 

Jesus said that the path to eternal life is narrow because he knows that most people will choose to follow their own desires and passions instead of following him.

People can lust after a variety of things, including: physical attraction towards another person, luxury items like expensive cars or designer clothes, power and control, fame, wealth, forbidden experiences, specific types of food, and even abstract concepts like adventure or freedom; essentially anything that creates a strong, often obsessive desire or craving. This video was such a confirmation from the Holy Spirit in my life and I was led to share it here and to some people as the Holy Spirit led, HE knows what we need to see and understand:
