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

March 16, 2025. Jesus/ Holy Spirit last night the principalities in the son manisfested so much as there was a quiet gathering next door and there is an older man with Parkinson that I had explained before that it was a product of the witchcraft the wife had done to him so he could marry her. The son, as he does when he hears people laughing or saying anything in the neighborhood, went and started yelling at them and calling the man by the disease, which is what the principalities do to hurt people they call out the fears and things that hurt them. I stayed in the room praying and crying out to the Lord for all the souls involved and asking the Holy Spirit for encouragment and HIS move in all of what is happening to endure till the Holy Spirit says it is done. This morning to intimidate and manipulate the principalities in the son started “taking pictures” of me, which is what the son does to everyone who comes over the principalities see as a threat. I tell the principalities in them that I will be here as long as the Holy Spirit needs me to be here and when the mother with the principalities in her start trying to say mean things I tell them that I don’t want to hear it that the Holy Spirit already told me who they are, what is going on and what will happen. The mother says this morning that she was sleeping, her soul must be tired as she is in her 70’s, is very possessed and is dealing with the principalities in the son. Believing in the promises of the Lord for all of their lives, as the Lord is not a man to lie or to change HIS mind, as we read in the Bible.

This morning woke up, heard to go upstairs to the rooftop, before that while making breakfast the son came out to the kitchen to which I started rebuking him quieltly and told him that there are consequences in the spiritual realm for wrong doing, for letting the principalities do wrong thru us, that he needs to stop yelling at people, specially the elderly next door, to which he said that he was praying with them, which is a lie, which is what the darkness does they try to imitate the things of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, as they were raised by the Lord, they know the word and try to change the things of God for their things. Telling the mother and the man who cleans who also came this morning does nothing as they are also possessed and are bothered with the Holy Spirit in me, such as when the message was being heard this morning as led by the Holy Spirit the man told me to go to my room and the mother so that it would not bother the son and them, as the prachings, worship and anything of the Holy Spirit bother the principalities in them. Spiritual warfare is real, the smell and precense of the Holy Spirit in us bothers the principalities, enemies of our souls and theirs to people who are possessed. The Holy Spirit constantly remids me not to let the guard down, as we read in Ephesians 6:10-18, to rest in HIM and that HIS joy is pur strenght. We cannot find joy in the world, but only in Jesus, rest in Jesus and in our weakness the Holy Spirit is strong.

Also the Lord reminded me of these scriptures that I will share here as HE leads for teaching and understanding, as HE speaks clearly thru HIS word:

Matthew 10: ¹⁶ “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

The phrase “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” is from Matthew 10:16 in the Bible, advising followers to be both shrewd and innocent in a challenging world. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

• Context: Jesus is sending his disciples out to preach, knowing they will face opposition and danger. 
• “Sheep in the midst of wolves”: This imagery emphasizes the vulnerability of the disciples and the harshness of the environment they will encounter. 
• “Be wise as serpents”: This suggests the need for discernment and strategic thinking to navigate difficult situations and avoid harm. 
• “Innocent as doves”: This calls for maintaining purity of heart and avoiding deceit or malice, even in the face of adversity. 
• Matthew 10:16: The full verse is “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”. 

Who is a disciple of Christ? is the person who proclaims Jesus as Lord and Savior as it says in Romans 10 (read it), is baptized in immersion in water, as it says in John 3 and Matthew 2 (Read it). Then the person receives the Holy Spirit as we read in Acts 2 (Read it) and 1 Corinthians 14 (read it) and becomes a student of the Holy Spirit, Jesus to surrender everything everyday and receive fruits and gifts as we read in Galatians 5(read it) and Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12,13 and 14, to answer the Great Commission which we read in Matthew 28.

Ephesians 6: The Whole Armor of God: ¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

The verse from Ephesians 6:12 states that Christians’ struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, including rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of darkness. 

Here’s a breakdown of the verse:

• “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood…”This emphasizes that the primary conflict Christians face is not with other people or physical entities, but with spiritual forces of the darkness, enemies of our souls. 
• “…but against the rulers, against the authorities…”These refer to the hierarchical structure of spiritual evil, with rulers and authorities wielding power over the unseen world. 
• “…against the cosmic powers over this present darkness…”This describes the forces that control and govern the darkness of this world, the spiritual realm of evil. 
• “…against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” This highlights the location and nature of the spiritual enemies, emphasizing that they are not limited to the earthly realm but operate in the heavenly sphere. 

The phrase “the whole armor of God” comes from Ephesians 6:11-18, referring to the spiritual protection and strength believers need to stand against evil, symbolized by a soldier’s armor, including the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit (the Word of God). 

Here’s a breakdown of the “whole armor of God” as described in Ephesians 6:11-18:

• The Belt of Truth:Represents the foundation of a believer’s life, rooted in honesty and integrity. 
• The Breastplate of Righteousness:Symbolizes the protection of a righteous heart, shielded from accusations and doubts. 
• The Shoes of Peace:Represents the readiness to spread the gospel and the peace of Christ. 
• The Shield of Faith:Represents the ability to quench the fiery darts of the evil one, symbolizing unwavering trust in God. 
• The Helmet of Salvation:Symbolizes the protection of the mind, guarding against deception and false teachings. 
• The Sword of the Spirit:Represents the Word of God, used for defense and offense in spiritual warfare. 
• Prayer:The importance of constant prayer and supplication in spirit is also mentioned, as a means of staying connected to God and His power. 

Then after the rising and manifesting of the principalities in the man who cleans, the mother saying to turn the preaching off or put it only for me to hear, that it bothers them, the son leaving to a trip the mother paid for him, which the principality in her rewards him every time he does something wrong. I was led to finish hearing today’s message which the preaching online that I was led to put was a conformation and encouragment of all that is happening, every word was from the Holy Spirit to let me know HE sees what is happening and to stand in HIS presence and trust HIS promises for my life and the rest of the people’s lives. I heard to stay on the rooftop for sometime, with the man who cleans coming up a few times to hang the clothe and me being led to rebuke quietly what ever is possessing them. WOW this season has been of rebuking, endurance, authority in the Holy Spirit, as it has been for my whole life, Jesus, Holy Spirit. More and more we get understanding of the Holy Spirit, we do feel it on our whole body and mind, with shaking, crying and pleading, sometimes with the flesh wanting to be taken out of the flesh, as it is a spiritual warfare between the Holy Spirit in us and the principalites freaking out as they know where ever the Holy Spirit in us arrive they have to leave. In Jesus name. The man, the son and the mother have a certain smell and struggle with cleaniness, as well as their areas, as the principalities and the darkness have a very nausiating oddor and also language. It can all be discern thru the Holy Spirit.

Discernment of spirits, a gift of the Holy Spirit, is the ability to distinguish between true and false teachings, and to recognize the influence of good and evil spiritual forces. It involves using the Word of God as a guide to discern truth from falsehood and to understand spiritual realities. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

What it is:

• A Gift of the Holy Spirit: Discernment of spirits is considered a supernatural gift bestowed by the Holy Spirit, allowing believers to understand spiritual matters and make wise judgments. 
• Distinguishing Truth from Falsehood: It helps believers differentiate between genuine spiritual experiences and deceptive or false teachings, and to recognize the source of spiritual influences. 
• Using the Word of God: Discernment involves studying and applying the Word of God to test teachings and discern the truth. 
• Understanding Spiritual Realities: It enables believers to perceive the true character of people and the source and meaning of spiritual manifestations. 
• Not Just a Gift: While it is a gift, discernment is also a responsibility, and Christians are exhorted to test all teachings and to be diligent in seeking God’s truth. 

Examples of Discernment:

• Identifying False Teachings: Discernment helps believers recognize teachings that contradict Scripture or promote ungodly practices. 
• Recognizing Spiritual Influence: It enables believers to discern whether a person, place, or event is under the influence of good or evil spiritual forces. 
• Detecting Hidden Error: Discernment can help detect hidden error and evil in others, as well as in oneself. 
• Finding the Good: Discernment also helps in finding and bringing forth the good that may be concealed in others and in ourselves. 

Key Scriptures:

• 1 Corinthians 12:10: “To another, miraculous works; to another, prophecy; to another, discernment of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; and to another, interpretation of tongues.” 
• 1 John 4:1-3: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you will know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was coming and is now in the world.” 
• 1 Corinthians 2:14: “But a person who not of the Holy Spirit does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are discerned only through the Holy Spirit.” 

Matthew 10: 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.

The statement “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” is from Matthew 10:34, and it suggests that Jesus’s arrival would cause division and conflict rather than immediate peace. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

• Context: Jesus is speaking to his disciples in Matthew 10, preparing them for the challenges they will face as they preach and share his message. 
• Meaning: The “sword” is not a literal weapon, but a metaphor for the division and conflict that will arise as people react to Jesus’s teachings and the message of the gospel. 
• Examples of Division: Jesus goes on to say that his coming will cause division within families, with a man being set against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 
• Purpose of the Statement: Jesus is not saying that he is a bringer of violence, but that his message will inevitably cause people to take sides and that some will oppose his followers and teachings. 
• Reconciling with other teachings: Some interpret this statement in light of other teachings of Jesus, such as Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”, and suggest that Jesus’s mission is to bring about a deeper, spiritual peace, which may involve conflict with the world’s ways. 

After coming down from the rooftop I was led to speak to the man who cleans about witchraft that is also called magic, hand reading, tarot, fortune telling, law of attraction, calling things into existance, turning on candles, bowing down to images, feeding saints, praying to anything else but Jesus, Holy Spirit is worshiping other “gods”, which the Lord is very specific about specially in: Galatians 5:¹⁹ 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. Also in Revelations 21: 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.”

Everything is in the Bible. I was told by the Holy Spirit as a revelation for teaching others that those who practice witcraft or any of the names mentioned above, because the person performing the service is possessed by evil sprits and calls them to the person receiving the service brings a lot of illnessess to the person or people receiving the service. These is an important knowledge the Holy Spirit wants us to have so that we can be part of HIS kingdom and get all that HE provides thru Jesus, such as healing, restoration, identity, never alone, becoming his sons and daughters, fruits, gifts of the Holy Spirit, getting baptized by submerssion and having eternal life with the Lord thru HIS Holy Spirit. The man who cleans after hearing this teaching in a shorter version about witchraft became very nervious, as the Holy Spirit revealed that he does as many people who proclaim to be Catholic or Christians, but by their spiritual fruits we will know them, as we read the fruit of those who are going thru the rebirth thru the Jesus/Holy Spirit in Galatians 5: 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! And we also read in: Matthew 7:¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

The son came back as he does not spend too long outside and approached me and followed me to the room, in Jesus name I told him to get his hands off the door, that he was not going to intimidate me as I have seen bigger principalities than him in person in this room and since I could remember as a child, I closed the door for what ever reason I yelled for help to which the man who cleans asked him what is wrong with him and the son laughed and said that he is not doing anything, the son tried to open the door to which I told the principality in him that I rebuked them in Jesus name, and told the man again who cleans that the son is not mentally ill that he is possessed but that in the Lord’s time he will be delivered as the Lord will deal with the son as he does with all the people the Lord, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit has a purpose with. The man who cleans and I before that were talking about a young girl that is from a middle east country who disappeared in a resort in a beach town here, who has become headline all over the world. The Holy Spirit revealed to me what happened to her as I asked, to which the man who cleans was told and that if we seek the Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit we get answers as HE is the creator of the Universe and knows all, the Lord did not create evil, the devil and the principalities do, as people who do not have a relationship with Jesus are easily manipulated by the devil and principalities. The man who cleans listened quietly and it is like his ears have been shut to not hear the things of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, as he kept asking the same questions, as the mother and son, with whom I was led to pray: Ezequiel 36: ²⁵ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. ²⁶ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. After everything happens the mother and man who cleans go back to things as if nothing has happened. That is what happens when people are possessed most of the time they are just bodies, like when people do horrible things like shootouts and murder they say that something told them to do it or when in court and jail they look so out of it, that is why because they are bodies for the principalities and the enemies of our souls, just as we are vessels for the Holy Spirit when we proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit comes to live in us, but we become ambassadors of life, deliverance, forgiveness, clean identity, hope, joy and all that comes with understanding that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and the only way to get to God. This is all molding and preparing in the spirit realm, it is not easy, but we are not doing it alone, the Holy Spirit is with us when we are answering the Great Commission, and we have been chosen before our mother’s womb. All for the souls and for those who will understand and have ears to understand what the Holy Spirit says to the churches, as we read in Revelations 2:²⁶ To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— ²⁷ that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. ²⁸ I will also give that one the morning star. ²⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The Holy Spirit thru all of this is accomplishing HIS purpose in each of the lives involved, in Jesus name.

The way to become born again and experience all that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit has for us, such as forgiveness, reconciliation, healing, restoration, hope, identity, eternal life, purpose of your life and much more:  We recognize we are sinners (Romans 3:23) and that the penalty for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Because of our sin, we can’t know and experience God’s love and we are spiritually separated from Him. To remedy our situation, God came as the Holy Spirit thru Jesus—to take the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8). After Jesus’ death, He rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-6). Jesus is our only way to God (John 14:6) and He gives us the gift of salvation. We can receive God’s gift through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) and experience new birth (John 3:1-8). Receiving Jesus means trusting Him to come into our lives to forgive our sins and make us what He desires. Make the decision to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, you can express this in a prayer to God. This is not a ritual based on specific words, but rather, a prayerful guideline for your sincere step of faith.
