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

Reading for today: Ephesians 6:10-18, Romans 8:18 and 1 Corinthians 1:26-30.

September 16, 2025. Today woke up, after waking up a few times last night, listened to the word, prayed, asked the Lord about what is going on that the apartment HE has had me in has not gotten paid yet, was led to write this post about the scars we endure in the war for our souls and the souls of others, shared testimonies with a few sisters in Christ as I was reminded of how when the Holy Spirit sent me to El Salvador I only had the address of a missionary house where I was asked ministerial questions that I could not answer in the way they are used to and was told that I needed to go somewhere else and the Holy Spirit kept saying: don’t move, don’t leave. I was led to stay there for a month, after a sister in Christ was moved to contact a couple in El Salvador who spoke to the administrator in the mission’s house. The homeless, prostitutes and more were ministered as well as the people running the house. The last week the Holy Spirit provided for the rent of the time there. Only Jesus/ Holy Spirit, who is constantly working on trust, endurance and the souls in the Great Commission. Reminding us thru the Bible the scriptures that will help us understand such as: Ephesians 6:10-18: “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we 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. 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. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”

Romans 8:18:”Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-30 “Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.”

It has been many countries and many experiences, where sometimes it’s all felt more than others, where in some places the war for our souls and the souls of others is felt more than others. Like in Nicaragua where in each place the Holy Spirit would put me in an island called Ometepe the light would go out three times and I would hear: they don’t want you here. I would fall every time on a gasoline scooter that was provided, having scars on the whole right side of my body. There was a principality assigned to me in a form of a man who insisted on sleeping with me, showing me his penis thru the pants and being completely stopped by the Lord thru putting him on the floor, he still kept insisting and it happens and the Lord said HE was going to take him, to get him a Bible. Then in the Dominican Republic the scars have been tried to be done in the heart and body, as I have been so attacked thru the opposite sex, falling and scratching parts of my body, burns and other situations to try to distract me and keep me off track, but the Holy Spirit on each occasion, sending people and messages to keep me moving forward.

We get to go thru the gospels, which are the examples the Lord himself left us in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and everything that the people before us went thru for their souls and the souls of others. We get to be persecuted, attacked and rejected, as Jesus was, and the people before us, but thru the Bible and the body of Christ the Holy Spirit keeps us moving forward.

I don’t know how the Lord will send the offering to pay the $560 dollars that need to be paid for the almost 3 weeks in this apartment, and the $ to go to the next place, but I am trusting that after sending me to all of Central America, South America, except for Venezuela, France, Amsterdam, Spain, Turkey, USA and Dominican Republic HE will move who HE needs to move moving forward in Jesus name.

Thankful for those who have given, prayed and have been moved by the Holy Spirit for this Great Commission. Please give as little or much as possible, as it is needed. It will be a blessing to many in all of the ways the Lord moves in each place to be done, for the transportation, the place to stay, covering needs of others and much more. All for the souls in the Great commission.

Romans 8: 35-39: Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
