Less of me, more of You

Genesis 18: Abraham Pleads for Sodom ¹⁶ When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. ¹⁷ Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? ¹⁸ Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. ¹⁹ For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

²⁰ Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous ²¹ that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” ²² The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.^[d] 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? ²⁴ What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare^[e] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? ²⁵ Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” ²⁶ The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

²⁷ Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, ²⁸ what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?” “If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.” ²⁹ Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?” He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.” ³⁰ Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?” He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

³¹ Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?” He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.” ³² Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” ³³ When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

Sodom and Gomorrah were two ancient cities destroyed by God with fire and sulfur (brimstone) in Genesis 19 due to extreme wickedness, sexual immorality, and inhospitality. Located in the Jordan valley, they serve as a primary biblical symbol of divine judgment and ruin. 

Key Aspects of the Narrative:

• The Sin: While often associated with homosexuality due to the demand by the men of Sodom to rape male angels visiting Lot, the Bible also highlights their sins as pride, arrogance, and neglecting the poor and needy.
• The Destruction: God decided to destroy the cities, but through Abraham’s intercession, he spared Lot (Abraham’s nephew) and his family.
• Lot’s Escape: Two angels rescued Lot, his wife, and his daughters, instructing them not to look back. Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.
• Legacy: Sodom and Gomorrah are frequently cited in both the Old and New Testaments as examples of God’s punishment of wickedness. 

Biblical Context:
The story is primarily found in Genesis 18–19. The cities are described as having been in a fertile, well-watered region, similar to the Garden of the Lord, before their total destruction. 

April 13, 2026. There are many places around the world that represent Sodom and Gomorrah in our current time. I have been sent to many places where I am sure there have been people that came before me to prepare the soil thru the Holy Spirit and those who had been praying the Lord would send someone. It is amazing to me that when the Holy Spirit called me out of Yonkers, NY and I heard clearly in the Holy Spirit: “WE ARE DONE IN YONKERS”. In my limited mindset, as only the Holy Spirit is limitless; I though ok, we are going to start going to other states from here or in any case I am done, everything that needed to be done was done. Then everything started moving towards coming to the Dominican Republic with Ezequiel 37, Isaiah 54 and Psalms 91. First the Holy Spirit made a way for a school owned by a few people in the Dominican Republic be sold to a man who needed a place to land his helicopter, as the owners of the school were very tired and elderly and did not want to deal with the school anymore. I was one of the recipients of that money for the Great Commission that was about to embark. First I started hearing that I would have a car and a man from Yonkers, NY decided to give us a car that I started hearing from the Holy Spirit: “RETURN”, but it was registered and I kept hearing: “RETURN”. The car would barely turn on, and it was because there was a problem with the gasoline tank that was leaking and it could have blown up, because of my lack of discernment we ended up spending money on the vehicle and it was returned, after taking off the license plates and papers and going to the local motor vehicles office.

Then a plane ticket was bought, and both my daughter and I ended up going to the Dominican Republic, starting in the Capital called Santo Domingo. My daughter sensed from the Holy Spirit that she needed to go back in her words saying that she heard that she would be a distraction if she stayed. At that time, I was still processing us separating, as we had been together since she was born. My daughter went back and the Lord had opened the doors for her to have a job at a Christian camp, after having her in a culinary school and the job came with housing that summer. It was hard for me, as we had been in Yonkers, NY for so long, since before 2007 and this was 2021, in the midst of the Covid-19. The Holy Spirit had us rent a vehicle for 30 days; I still did not know or fully understand all that was going to unfold.

First was to arrive in a home where the order and anointing of the Holy Spirit was needed, as the family members of that woman were highly possessed by different principalities and needed to be told with the authority of the Lord that they needed to get all of their names off of the woman’s bank accounts, as they had used the money that was hers to build homes and pay for all of their expenses for years, as well as all that the Holy Spirit did in that city. After my daughter left back to where the Lord needed her to be; I was sent to a small town with the vehicle, as the people who called themselves Christians were teachers of the law and were dabbling with Witcraft, so the Holy Spirit needed someone of HIS so that those who were meant to understand and come to Jesus did. After 45 days of being in that small town and learning even more about the spiritual realm, false teachings, false prophesies and much more the Holy Spirit led me to go back and the surrendering of the apartment my daughter and I had lived since 2007, with also the Great Commission of making disciples was done with the former homeless, gang members, drug dealers, incarcerated, previously incarcerated(as the Holy Spirit opened the door to be part of the re-entry panel in Yonkers, NY), shelters and all the places these populations were to be discipled and anointed before the pandemic.

After the Dominican Republic and surrendering everything, the Holy Spirit started sending me to all of Central America, USA, South America, 2 countries in Africa: where in one Spanish is spoken fluently and the other in English, Istanbul, Amsterdam, then back to the USA to a lot of the state’s motel by motel and then back to the Dominican Republic, town by town, neighborhood by neighborhood and this week sending me to a country in South Asia, close to India. I am waiting for the obedience of those the Holy Spirit has told and is telling, as far as the money for the airplane tickets and all that is needed to get there and come back, in Jesus’ name. There is a fundraising link and ways to give at the end of this blog post, as led to be made and shared by the Holy Spirit.

Ezequiel 37: NLT A Valley of Dry Bones

37 The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. ² He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. ³ Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”

“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

⁴ Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! ⁵ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! ⁶ I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” ⁷ So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. ⁸ Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

⁹ Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’” ¹⁰ So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

¹¹ Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ ¹² Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. ¹³ When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the Lord. ¹⁴ I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the Lord has spoken!’”

Isaiah 54: Future Glory for Jerusalem (Capital of Israel, Israel represents the people of God) “Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,”
says the Lord. ² “Enlarge your house; build an addition.
Spread out your home, and spare no expense! ³ For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.

⁴ “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.
⁵ For your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
the God of all the earth. ⁶ For the Lord has called you back from your grief— as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,” says your God. ⁷ “For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with great compassion I will take you back. ⁸ In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while. But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord, your Redeemer.

⁹ “Just as I swore in the time of Noah that I would never again let a flood cover the earth, so now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you. ¹⁰ For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear, but even then, my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you. ¹¹ “O storm-battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels
and make your foundations from lapis lazuli. ¹² I will make your towers of sparkling rubies, your gates of shining gems, and your walls of precious stones. ¹³ I will teach all your children,
and they will enjoy great peace. ¹⁴ You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.  Your enemies will stay far away.
You will live in peace, and terror will not come near. ¹⁵ If any nation comes to fight you, it is not because I sent them. Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

¹⁶ “I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy. ¹⁷ But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice
raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Psalm 91

¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ² I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” ³ Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. ⁵ You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, ¹⁰ no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. ¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; ¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. ¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. ¹⁴ “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. ¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. ¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

For the last 15 days the Holy Spirit has had me in a town called Sosua, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, which is known in the Spiritual realm and many for its beaches, nightlife, as well as a place where the principalities of Homosexuality, addiction, Human trafficking and much more, as we learn in the Book of Enoch, which can be downloaded as a free PDF or an app, as the Holy Spirit reveals the principalities that have tried to take over the place and that will attack us, but with the anointing and authority of the Holy Spirit they will flee, as they also try to recruit, but Jesus ,Holy Spirit wins. Also, as people repent and proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and we learn from Genesis 18-19 that the Holy Spirit, the Lord will make sure those who are meant to understand will understand John 14:6 and Romans 10. Then they too will accomplish their purpose for the Lord’s kingdom to come and will be done. The Holy Spirit is not concerned about what people are on or doing at that moment when HE sends us, as HE knows once we come to Jesus we will be filled with the Holy Spirit, delivered and we will get baptized by submersion to start the new life, where we surrender the old and are filled with fruits and gifts to be part of the Great Commission, all for the souls who will understand and will be part of the New Heaven and the New Earth as we read in Revelations 21.

When people are yet to receive Jesus; we either drink it, smoke it or do all kinds of things, as we are vessels of the principalities, as we open portals, but once we repent and proclaim Jesus we get to understand and all that happened before is used to redeem others to Jesus. The Holy Spirit does not let us see what people are doing in that moment, but what the Lord will do with that person once we come to Jesus.
