Matthew 9: 9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’[d] For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
April 5, 2026. On April 1, 2026, was the move to the next town the Holy Spirit sent to after Punta Cana, called Sosua, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. It was also the night before where the Holy Spirit moved a person to provide for the flight for my daughter to be able to spend time together, which was so needed by both of us and the Lord knew. April 1, 2026, I was led to drop off the suitcase and bag in the next place in Sosua and head to the airport, after the Holy Spirit led who to ASK for the money for the following days, as HE always leads. The Holy Spirit teaches us in Luke 11, that we have as we have repented, have proclaimed Jesus as our Lord and Savior, have gotten baptized by submersion in water, have received the Holy Spirit, seek HIM every day and obey HIM; we have access to asking the Lord as HE leads to. We become sons and daughters of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit when we repent and proclaim Jesus, otherwise we are creation. All for our souls and the souls of others in the Great Commission. Luke 11: 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[a] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
The town of Sosúa was officially founded by Jewish refugees fleeing from Nazi Germany. At the 1938 Evian Conference, Rafael Trujillo offered to accept up to 100,000 Jewish refugees; about 800 German and Austrian Jewish refugees received visas issued by the Dominican government between 1940 and 1945 and settled in Sosúa. An agreement was made between Trujillo and Jewish businessmen in New York City. The government provided the settlers with land and resources with which they created a food factory and company named Productos Sosúa still in existence today.
Descendants of the original Jewish settlers still live in Sosúa; among them is the former mayor Ilana Neumann. They remain an important segment of the community and maintain a synagogue and a museum. Most of the descendants of the refugees have migrated to the United States. Some families remained and established inns and bed and breakfasts, which were first visited by former refugees.
Sosúa Abajo, which translates roughly to “Lower Sosúa”, is located on the western side of Sosúa in a valley nearby a river that flows into Sosúa Bay. Mainly a rural area of Sosúa, Sosúa Abajo houses many of the workers who commute to the El Batey area, nearby Cabarete Bay and Playa Dorada. The Barrio of Los Charamicos, between El Batey and Abajo, is a densely populated urban area known for its nightlife, dancing, and bar scene.
Sosúa Bay attracts many water sports enthusiasts, including snorkelers and divers because of its sheltered, calm waters, diverse species of fish and intricate reef structures. In the winter, whale watching is also a popular tourist activity in Sosúa Bay.
Recently, naturally occurring beach replenishment has created a new beach just north of Sosúa Bay, depositing sand where there were previously only sheer rock cliffs. The beach is called Playa Alicia. Sosua became a popular tourist destination with the rise of the tourism industry in the Puerto Plata area during the 1980s. In the late 1990s and 2000s Sosúa also became a favorite destination of sex tourists from Europe and North America. Starting in the late 2000s there was an effort to crack down on this industry, which caused a decline.
Sosúa remains a destination for sex, alcohol and drugs tourism, though with a poorer clientele. Local women turn to prostitution as the town has fewer economic opportunities compared to larger cities of the country. Haitian migrants also take part in the sex tourism business, with many of the prostitutes in some areas being of Haitian descent. At sex tourism sites the lighter Dominicans are favored over darker Haitians, who are forced to work in the streets or local bars rather than the more lucrative up-scale areas. That is why the Holy Spirit sends us where HE sends us, so as people come to Jesus as their Lord and Savior all of that is happening is understood and stopped.
The Holy Spirit in these 5 days, with also my daughter still had us be part of the Great Commission in each place HE had us, including going to another town called Santiago where we were able to enjoy a nice meal, for me to be sang happy birthday and for those who were meant to receive what the Holy Spirit had in each my daughter and I would receive it. There were a lot of great experiences that we both needed in there 5 days, as it happens when the Holy Spirit brings us together, it is a recharge, refill and all the Holy Spirit let us give and receive. In each place that the Holy Spirit placed us we got to see the manifestation of HIS, including hearing the spiritual realm, and being reminded of the authority of the Holy Spirit and the soldiers that are with us and withing us in Jesu’s name. Many for the Great Commission came to Jesus, were anointed with the Holy Spirit and or received a word from the Holy Spirit thru us. I can’t thank the Lord enough for the time HE allowed and made a way for us to have. I had heard a few weeks or days ago for my daughter to come where HE had me from April 1 to the 5th, we just did not know how the Lord was going to do it, and the night before HE had us ASK a person, the person sent the money and by midnight the airplane ticket had been bought as well as the money for this new town had been sent thru the person HE led to ask and HE moved a couple more people for the money needed for the rest of the needed items such as food, transportation and personal needs and goods, only Jesus, Holy Spirit. Just as we see in the book of Acts of the Apostles thru the Holy Spirit, which were filled, guided and provided by the Holy Spirit.
We saw how the Lord is protecting HIS creation(as we are officially HIS sons and daughter after we repent and proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior and have a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit) specially this week, where those who are yet to understand what the Lord did on the cross, which is what is celebrated this week, take this time to drink, party and get into a lot of accidents, but more and more we see HIS protection, as it rained a lot and HE had the authorities not allow alcohol in certain areas here in the Dominican Republic. The Holy Spirit thru different ways sent us gifts and reminders of HIS presence and care in our lives. The more time we spend in the presence of the Holy Spirit that lives in us, as well as reading the Bible the more we understand our identity in Jesus, Holy Spirit and we get fruits and gifts to fight the good fight for our souls and the souls of others, we are redeemed by Jesus, Holy Spirit to redeem others to Jesus, Holy Spirit, Sanctification is being set apart for God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.
1 John 3: 23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
Luke 24: But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 3 So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.
5 The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man[b] must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.”
8 Then they remembered that he had said this. 9 So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened. 11 But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. 12 However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened.
After my daughter was dropped off at the local airport, after the leading of the Holy Spirit and all that happened on the way to the airport and in the airport for the souls, for her to go back to where the Holy Spirit has her for the time HE says to be there to then move to where HE will move her; I was led to go back where the Holy Spirit has me share the Good News of Jesus as HE led, pray with people, as HE led, disciple, then anoint the pool area with the Holy Spirit and then go up and cry and cry, as it is not easy to be apart from my daughter, asking Jesus, Holy Spirit to keep giving us understanding and all HE gives for HIS Kingdom to come and will to be done in each of us and thru each of us, for the work HE started in our lives to be accomplished, in Jesus name. Then I was led to speak to one of the disciples for a bit and work on this blog post with the Holy Spirit’s leading, all for our souls and other people’s souls in the Great Commission.
Romans 8:18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. 25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) 26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
