Translation from Spanish
I am the Lord. I am the God of Israel. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I am the living God who, when I move My hands, makes the waters swirl, says the Lord.
I am the One who raises up walls, and I am the One who tears down walls with just a snap of My fingers, says the Lord. I am the One who washes hearts, and the One who sets them aflame when they have grown cold.
I am the One who touches My children’s backs with My index finger, transforms them, and lifts them from where they have fallen. When they are lying on the ground, on the verge of fainting, I am there, lifting them up by My power, says the Lord.
Noelia: I see many people asking the Lord for help, lifting their voices and crying out, begging Him to rescue them from the pits where they’ve fallen. Many are in the depths. They feel they’re in darkness, unable to see, without hope, unable to escape.
Just as Jonah cried out from the belly of the fish, thinking he had no hope left, says the Lord, many cry out from that same darkness, from that same loneliness, from a place where no one in the natural can help them. No man can deliver them from there, but I go and reach out My hand so they can take hold of Me, and I lift them up.
I don’t have to make any effort to bring them out, says the Lord. I simply extend My hand, and whoever chooses takes hold of it, while whoever refuses stays in that pit, because it’s man’s will that decides. It’s the power of decision, of free will, that determines whether man goes to the right or to the left.
Certainly, I test you, says the Lord Jesus. I make you walk through fiery paths, where you feel you are burning, where sweat runs down your arms from the heat of the trial.
Just as metal is put through a fire of high heat and melts to be reshaped, says the Lord, so I do with My own. I transform them and make them walk paths where thistles and thorns cut into their feet.
I see their feet bleeding, and I know the pain they feel, says the Lord. I know the suffering. Do you know why? Because I Myself am within them. I dwell in My own, and I walk with them, feeling the same suffering they feel.
I don’t leave them alone, to the point that I am within My children, walking in them when their feet are pierced and bleeding, when they are sweating and crying, when they are alone, when they don’t understand what is happening. I am within them.
That’s how far I give up My glory to feel what they feel, says the Lord. That’s why I am within My own, because I want to and choose to experience the suffering of My children. I experience in Myself what they must go through.
They have to go through it, says the Lord, because when they finally come out of that field of thorns, when they come out of that process of fire that burns and hurts them and leaves sores on their skin, they are never the same as before, says the Lord. They are new creatures after such a trial, because the crown is renewed after a trial of that magnitude.
When one of My children suffers and comes through that suffering, when they go through that tribulation and finally climb out of that pit and see the light, their heart is softer, redder, and more malleable than before. And when I speak to them, they listen to Me more, because they are gentler than they were before the trial.
That’s why you must trust Me, says Jesus, even when you are in that loneliness, even when you are in that pit where it seems no one hears you and no one will ever bring you out. And truly, no human can bring you out unless I send them.
That’s why you must trust Me, says Jesus, because I am the one who sends you to walk through the deserts of loneliness. I am the one who calls you to give up things that no longer benefit you, says the Lord. I am the one who sets you free from empty vanities. I am the one who creates the emptiness within you so I can later fill it with what I desire.
That’s why you need to renew your trust in Me, little ones, says the Lord. You have to understand that I am in everything. You have to understand that I walk alongside you, holding your arm. I don’t just go with you; I also walk shoulder to shoulder with you, holding you up when you fall, lifting you when you can’t go on anymore because your legs have given out.
I never abandon you, because I promised I would be with you until the end of days, says Jesus, and I am faithful. I am not fickle like man, who turns away from Me and then comes back repentant.
That’s not My nature, says Jesus. When I say something, I keep My word. When I say I will be there, it’s because I am. When I say I am listening, it’s because I listen, and My angels write down what you tell Me.
Many think I turn a deaf ear, but I am listening to you, says the Lord. Many of My children think My angels are not writing down what you ask of Me, that My angels are not beside them, recording everything they do, but they are mistaken. They are thinking like men, not like God.
They don’t think the way I do, says the Lord Jesus. They don’t make the most of their time. They repeat the same prayer over and over out of distrust, because they think I haven’t heard them, when for Me it’s enough for them to share what’s in their heart just once for it to be kept among My treasures.
Little ones, says the Lord, when will you learn to trust Me? How many more miracles do you need to see Me work in people’s lives? You must walk by faith, not by sight, because blessed is the one who believes without having seen Me.
That’s what I want from you: more faith, says the Lord, because that faith is worth more than all the gold in the world, because faith is what fulfills the desires of the heart. It’s faith that allows what already exists in the spirit to be manifested in the material.
When you pray, you cause what’s in the spirit to be manifested—if you are walking uprightly with Me—and it’s faith that makes that transfer from the spirit to the material. That’s why, through the trials, deserts, and tribulations I lead you through, what I want is for your faith to grow, not shrink.
Guard that faith, says the Lord. When the enemy speaks to you, don’t let him keep talking. Shut his mouth. Take authority over Satan, the liar, the clever thief who knows exactly which labyrinth in your mind to enter.
Be wise, stay alert, and don’t let the serpent lie to you. Wake up and understand that I am there, listening, responding, and setting My angels to work. Understand that I am with you even when you feel alone, even when I don’t let you feel My presence. Even in that I test you, to see if you trust Me, to see if you believe that I don’t leave My children alone.
There is a Father in heaven, says God. There is a Father who cares for His children, from the youngest to the oldest. He holds all of you in His hands. He rocks you like a mother rocks her babies to sleep. He feeds you like someone who raises birds and gives them food. He even sends ravens with food if necessary.
This Father never sleeps, says the Lord Jesus. The Father in heaven never sleeps. Even when you are sleeping, He is not sleeping, and even then He is speaking to you. Even when you sleep, the Father speaks to you through dreams. But many of My children don’t pay attention to dreams, not even when they come from God.
Through dreams, God plants a seed while His children are sleeping, but many of My children don’t value dreams and throw that seed into the fire. They take it out of their minds, throw it into the fire, and go on with their lives, and then they say, “Why doesn’t God speak to me? Why doesn’t God guide me? Why do I never have dreams, visions, prophecies?”
But it’s they themselves who don’t take care of what God gives them. It’s they themselves who don’t bother to water the plant and let it die. Many of My own are like this. They are rotten in the churches.
I’m tired of seeing people just sitting there, inactive in Me, says the Lord, and then they wonder why their lives don’t change, why they feel like something is missing.
Noelia: The Lord Jesus walks through the churches and congregations. I see Him going from one to another, watching what they do, and He sees many just sitting there like dummies in their chairs, spiritually asleep.
Many are extinguished, unmotivated, weary, disillusioned, disappointed, says the Lord, and I Myself keep calling them to rise up and do what I ask of them, says Jesus. But no, they’d rather turn a deaf ear, they’d rather pretend they didn’t hear Me. Yet they have no excuses, because it’s I Myself who call them.
When pastors don’t do what they’re supposed to do, says the Lord, when evangelists don’t sow, when teachers don’t give bread to eat, when prophets don’t speak on My behalf, it’s I Myself who speak to them in their ear, because I never stop speaking to them, I never stop calling them, I never leave them without guidance.
Even when people fail, I do not fail, says Jesus. And after they reject Me, after they choose to believe it wasn’t Me who spoke to them, on top of that they complain and blame Me, saying I wasn’t with them. That’s injustice.
But when the time comes, says the Lord, all of this will come to light. Everything hidden will be revealed, everything that was in darkness will be brought into the light, and every memory of what I spoke to them and the opportunities I gave them will come to light, and they will have no excuses. They won’t be able to hide behind a tree like a child playing hide and seek. They won’t be able to hide from Me anymore.
In these days I am raising up many voices to speak on My behalf, says the Lord, and some of them still want to hide, like those children who play hide and seek and hide behind a tree. I give a period of grace when a person is a child in the Spirit and still needs to mature, but after a while, that person is ready to come out of their spiritual shell.
There are no more excuses about lacking knowledge, says the Lord. There are no more excuses about not being able to speak well on My behalf. There are no more excuses when I call someone to visit someone at home and they make excuses. After the time of grace and preparation I give to a person, there are no more excuses, and it’s sin not to do good when they know they should.
That’s why, My children, says the Lord, when you gather in My name, don’t doubt that I am there. Even when there are only two people, I am there when they speak about Me. When your hearts are willing to help and build each other up in Me, I am there. It doesn’t have to be thousands, or hundreds, not even ten. If only two hearts are united in My Spirit, I, Jesus Christ, am in the midst of those two.
That’s why, My little ones, says the Lord, trust in Me and don’t keep your hands in your pockets. Put your hands to work, because there is no time. Redeem the time. Go out into the streets. Speak about Me. Tell them about the Gospel.
How many blinded souls there are. How many still have blindfolds over their eyes and don’t know Me personally. It’s not that they can’t see, but that no one ever told them about Me. The Gospel hasn’t yet reached the ends of the earth. If it had, the time to restore all things would already have come.
But do you know why the Gospel still hasn’t been preached to the ends of the earth? Because My children don’t move. Because the sowers still have the grains of wheat stored in their bags, at home. They don’t go out to spread the word. They don’t go out to sow. They’re afraid to speak the word.
They say they have to sort out certain things before they can talk about Me, and so they pile up excuse after excuse, says the Lord, and those seeds remain stored in the barn, never being shared, and many are left without hearing about Me because of these servants’ negligence.
When a scale is unbalanced or weighed down too much on one side, I am the only one who can add or remove weight to restore balance, says Jesus. If I said in My Word that whoever asks will receive, if I said in My Word that whoever knocks will have the door opened, if I said in My Word that if a son asks Me for bread I won’t give him a stone, have you still not understood that you need to ask Me for balance?
I will answer. I want to, and I’m waiting for you to ask Me and to seek Me. Many still wonder if I really want to give to them, if I really want to answer them, says the Lord, when I’m waiting for them to talk to Me and ask Me to reveal what they can’t understand, what they can’t see. I’m waiting for them to ask Me to take the blindfold off their eyes so they can see what they still can’t see.
Sanctify yourselves, says the Lord. Wash your garments and keep them white, because hard times are coming, when the trials I send to My own will become more and more frequent and more and more intense. I have to make you into stronger and stronger warriors, and that can only happen through trials.
If evil is going to rise up more and more, and the warriors of evil will become ever more powerful, says the Lord, how much more must My own rise up to fight against it! If one army trains harder, the opposing side has to at least reach that level.
That’s why you have to understand that what you are going through has a purpose. If you are not tested, it’s because you are not worthy of being called to belong to My army. If you don’t go through suffering, if you don’t go through the refining of your character, it’s because My eyes are not on you.
But if you suffer for the sake of the Gospel, if you are insulted, if you are mocked, it’s because I am testing you, says the Lord, and you haven’t yet been tested to the point of death or blood, as many of My children have.
If you go through that, says the Lord, it’s because I am the one training you, I am the one perfecting you, I am the one teaching you to persevere to the end, because only those who persevere to the end will be saved.
Do not be lukewarm, says the Lord. Be fervent for Me. Put your hands into the fire out of love for Me. Give Me your whole heart, even when you know you will suffer, because I will certainly not abandon you.
That’s the key to persevering to the end: to understand, to trust, and to know that I won’t let go of your hand, even to the end. Amen.
