Translation from Spanish
May the Lord bless you and keep you on this February 7, 2025. I’m here once again to deliver a prophetic message to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ—a message especially for those who serve God, for those who minister at the altar. The Spirit of God says this:
My beloved, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the One who was born, who died, and who lives again, the One raised from the dead, the invincible, the incorruptible, the unyielding. I am like steel so strong that no fire can bend it, that no human hand can twist.
You, my little children, says Jesus, need to understand whom you are serving. You are not serving a man or a woman, but the Son of God. Today I speak to my people because I want to rescue you from the consequences you will have to face if you do not take the things of the ministry seriously, says the Lord.
Today I speak to you because I love you deeply, says the Lord—so much that I gave my own body as a living sacrifice to save you. That is why I am here today, to speak to you about the importance of treating ministry matters with the seriousness they deserve.
Truly, says the Lord, many of you are serving Me, and your hands are busy in the Temple of God. But it is also true that, in many cases, your hearts are far from Me. You serve Me, but not because you love Me. Many of you are weary in your service, and you haven’t realized how far that weariness has taken you.
I (Noelia) know that this weariness has led many of you into sin, often without even realizing that you are sinning.
Because when you turn away from service, says the Lord, you are turning away from Me. When you despise what I have called you to do, says the Lord, you are despising Me. When you say you don’t want to go on because you’re so tired, what those words really mean is that you are tired of Me.
Little children, says the Lord, you do not see that these roots of bitterness are growing in your hearts and taking over everything. You weren’t like this at first, says the Lord to many who began with enthusiasm.
But when you saw that ministry was not easy, that serving was hard, demanding, and that it literally cost you everything, you began to reject the work. Without realizing it, you slowly started to hate the things you once loved, and you wished in your heart that I had never called you.
You put yourselves in the judge’s seat, says the Lord, saying to Me, “Why did You choose me and not someone else?” just as My servant Moses did when I called him.
[Exodus 4:13] And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
But it is not man who chooses, but I who choose man. It is not man who decides whom to call, or whether he should allow himself to be called or not, but his Creator. And when you say you no longer want to do what you are doing for Me, you are rejecting the Creator who made you to fulfill the purpose for which you were created.
Some of you have reached such a serious point that you are behaving much like the priests of the Old Covenant, who offered sacrifices to God and kept the law, but brought imperfect animals. And not only that, but they said, “How tiresome it is to do this all the time. Keeping the law is such a burden to us.”
They didn’t keep the law by offering those sacrifices with a genuine, sincere, devoted heart—with joy, gladness, and dedication. They did it, but they did it reluctantly, without wanting to.
While those priests who served in the temple were outwardly obeying Me, says the Lord, and looked so clean, orderly, properly dressed, and washed, inside their hearts all they wanted was to finish what they were doing so they could go rest or do something that would bring them pleasure, something that had nothing to do with ministry.
[Isaiah 29:13] Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men
Many of the priests hated following those rules, and while they were serving God, they thought in their hearts, “How much longer do we have to keep doing this?” They did what was required of them, fulfilled their duties, but inwardly they rejected that service to the Lord. They couldn’t wait for it to be over.
The Holy Spirit is showing me now that many of them hated being priests and thought in their hearts, “I wish I had been given something else.”
The Lord is telling me that many of you are just like those priests—you do what you have to do and fulfill your calling, but in your hearts you hate what you’re doing, and you’re not realizing what you’re allowing to grow inside your heart.
But the Lord says, for the one who didn’t take care of what was given to him, who didn’t honor it, didn’t love it, didn’t respect it, and who has already been given a season of grace to repent and turn from despising that calling, work, or service—there comes a time when what was given to him will be taken away and given to someone else, just as the kingdom was taken from Saul and given to David.
This is a warning for many of us: if we don’t stop dishonoring the ministry God has given us, if we don’t stop despising what the Lord has called us to do and start taking it seriously—giving it the value it truly has—if we don’t reconsider and begin to serve with wholehearted commitment, because it’s for the Lord and not for people, then what was once given to us will be taken away and given to others who will value it, who will respect it, who will honor it, and who long for it with all their hearts.
[1 Samuel 15:27-28] And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
What Samuel said to Saul in that moment because of his disobedience can be compared to what the Lord is saying today to many who obey God’s voice, but are not doing so with all their heart, and are not loving Him.
The Spirit is showing me that there are some of you who feel disgusted by this work, who are already fed up—fed up with ministering, fed up with pastoring, fed up with answering emails from people asking for help, advice, or ministry; fed up that some of them respond to the counsel and obey and change for a while, only to return to their old ways.
There are many reasons why some of you are weary of ministry and think that this is just a normal phase that comes with serving.
Be careful, says God, because what’s happening to you is not normal. It’s not normal to let that root of bitterness grow in your heart the way you are, and if you don’t wake up and do whatever it takes to come out of that place of contempt for ministry, consequences will follow.
For many, the Lord is about to cut you off directly.
I saw many of you weary of prophesying because of what comes with delivering prophetic messages—when they’re not easy to give, when they’re not well received, when they bring rejection, loneliness, wounds, and betrayal.
I see many of you who are tired of speaking on God’s behalf. I see pastors ready to walk away from their ministries, seriously considering closing the congregations that God Himself told them to start.
I see men and women who no longer want to open their computers to read the emails from people seeking ministry from them. I see many of you who no longer want to sustain that ministry through fasting and prayer, and you say, “I’m tired of praying. I’m tired of fasting. I’m tired of spiritual warfare. What’s the point of going on?” and you’re forgetting the reason, the purpose, and for Whom you’re doing it, and you’re becoming corrupted.
Wake up, says the Lord.
I’m talking about all kinds of service. I’m talking about those who help, those who manage for the Kingdom of Heaven, those who heal, those who work miracles. I’m talking about apostles, teachers, pastors, evangelists, and prophets.
I’m talking about those who help the poor, those who minister deliverance or healing of the soul, says the Lord. I’m speaking of those who support certain ministries, those who help with the social media in some ministries.
I’m talking about people who have set their hands to work for the cause, whether as heads or leaders, but also those who assist large ministries or are part of ministry teams.
I see many who are already weary from this work. And the Lord is showing me that His servants need to repent, because if they do not, this is a time when the period of grace to wait for these people to reconsider, change, understand, and even receive healing and deliverance from what they lacked is coming to an end, so they might continue with those ministries God gave them and have not done what they were supposed to do.
To many of you, the Lord had already said you needed healing, that you needed prayer for deliverance, that you needed to build yourselves up more in the Word, that you needed to guard your walls, watching by night and early in the morning, that you needed to develop the gift God gave you, that you had to be good stewards of everything God entrusted to you to serve Him, and you did not do it, or you did not do it at the level you needed to.
And for years God has been speaking to many of you. My son, My daughter, I understand you, says the Lord. I can heal you. I can teach you. I can show you. I can prepare you. You lack nothing. You only need to believe in Me and obey Me, says the Lord, and I’ll do the rest along the way.
I just want you to serve Me and not keep your mouth closed. I want you to move and not stay still, for the harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few. I’m calling you to serve Me. Don’t turn back. Don’t remain sitting in your congregation’s chair. I want you active, says the Lord.
The Lord was patient with you for years and years, waiting for that moment when you would finally do what you do for Him with joy and genuine dedication, even though what you did certainly involved pain, affliction, sacrifice, and giving of yourself, even if you had to sweat to run that race.
The Lord waited for you, the Lord instructed you, the Lord explained things to you, the Lord forgave you so many times, but there is a time for everything.
[Hebrews 12:15] looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled
This message means, in part, that for those who already had a very long period of grace and many opportunities, that grace is ending in this time, because they let those roots of bitterness keep growing, getting in the way and spreading everywhere, and they became contaminated. And many began to sin.
They stopped keeping themselves holy. They ceased to be vessels truly consecrated, kept, and set apart for the Lord, for Him alone. They defiled themselves by letting that root of bitterness grow. They stopped loving their Husband as their only Husband and started doing things they had already left behind.
This happened because of that exhaustion, because of that disgust and weariness with serving, because of unhealed pain and wounds that weren’t bandaged, for not going into the prayer room and giving God the time the Holy Spirit was urging them to give Him to receive healing from those blows you certainly receive in ministry.
Many began to hate the cross they carried, the Holy Spirit is showing me. They started out joyful to carry that cross, and then began to hate it and want to cast it off because of what comes with bearing that cross. They began to love their lives instead of hating them, and turned back.
[Matthew 10:38-39] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
And the worst part is that many didn’t even realize what had begun to happen, what kept developing, and where they are today.
When the Lord gives you a prophetic word for someone and you complain, you don’t realize that these complaints grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
Once, twice, even three times, for a season—sometimes for years—the Lord will forgive you. He’ll wait for you, prepare you, and explain things to you while you receive healing and deliverance, while He builds you up.
But there comes a moment when you already have the knowledge you need, when you’ve been healed, when you’ve matured spiritually. You’re like an apple that’s ripe and ready to be picked from the tree and eaten, and the Lord expects that at that point you stop complaining and become someone who works for the Kingdom of Heaven, honoring that work and grateful for the job God has given you.
Many of us are employees in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord is our boss. He called us and chose us for this work, just as a boss looks over résumés and says, “I’m going to pick this one because I like what I see.” It’s the boss who chooses the employee.
At first, the employee is happy to have found a job and says, “This is great. I finally got a job. I’m glad to work. I’m excited.” But as time passes and he realizes how hard the work is, he starts to wear out and grow tired. And when he doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions, his wounds, his exhaustion, and everything else, he starts to hate the very job he once loved.
This is true for many of you. When you began this work, you loved it. You were grateful, like someone saying, “Wow, You chose me for this. I can’t believe it. Out of so many, I’m the one picked, I’m the one chosen to do this. Really?” You were thankful and happy, like a child given a precious treasure.
But over time, that excitement faded and you began to complain about that service, that job. You stopped being thankful for your calling. You started to hate it. You became bitter and serious. You stopped praising God for what He had given you. Maybe you kept showing up to do your duty, but you hated your boss and wished He had never hired you.
I see in a vision that a time comes when the boss says, “This employee of mine, who once came so happy and willing, so dedicated to serving in this company, no longer has the same attitude. He went from thanking me for the job I gave him to hating me, because every time he comes to work, he looks at me with contempt, and I can tell he doesn’t even want to look me in the face anymore.”
So the boss begins to weigh these things on his scales of justice and says, “It isn’t right for this employee to keep this position when there are hundreds who want it, who could do it better and with a good attitude, who could bring me the joy this employee used to bring me.”
This is where many of you are right now, and the worst part is that maybe you hadn’t realized just how far things had gone until you heard this word.
[Matthew 25:29] For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
The Holy Spirit is showing me that for many of you, the Lord warned you in dreams that you weren’t valuing what He had given you.
There are people who received the gift of discerning spirits, and when they received it, they were able to discern different spiritual movements in people and places. In this way, they began to discern demons in people, in environments, in cities, in nations.
But they hated this gift. They didn’t want to see what the gift of discerning spirits allowed them to see, and so they said to God, “I don’t want to see these things. Why do You make me suffer like this? Why do I have to see these things? Please, take this away from me.”
They didn’t want to, or didn’t know how to understand, that the Lord had given them this gift to use for His Kingdom, so that by seeing what carnal eyes cannot see and having that knowledge, they could do something to destroy the kingdom of darkness and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. They rejected the spiritual gifts God had given them.
Others received the gift of tongues, but since it wasn’t the gift they had asked for, they complained when they received it. They didn’t use it, didn’t develop it, and treated it with contempt, saying, “Oh, but I didn’t want the gift of tongues. What’s the point of that if I don’t understand it? I wanted the gift of prophecy. I wanted the gift of knowledge and the gift of wisdom. I wanted to work miracles or healings.” And so they despised a precious jewel the King had given them as an undeserved gift.
And so it was with the different spiritual gifts, callings, and workings that the Holy Spirit had also given them. They didn’t realize that by doing this, they were not only despising what was given to them, but also the One who gave it—the King Himself.
[Luke 19:14] But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Many of you were called by the Lord to be watchmen. The Lord showed you in dreams, visions, and prophecies what is coming, so you could warn your brothers and sisters—perhaps a group of Christians, perhaps a congregation, maybe even greater crowds or whole nations. But you despised this calling.
The Lord gave you many prophetic dreams about what will happen in these last days to warn people, so that perhaps they would prepare, be saved, and turn their hearts to the Lord. Yet you did nothing with those dreams. You didn’t write them down, didn’t record them, much less share them. You kept them to yourselves, threw them away, and some even tried to forget them.
Ungrateful! says the Lord.
The Lord is showing me again that for some of you, the time of grace in this area has come to an end, and what you refused to do, the Lord will call others to finish. For the work of the Kingdom will be completed in full, from beginning to end. The work will be fulfilled, whether through you or through someone else.
The problem is, you had better hope the Lord doesn’t find you rejecting and being a negligent servant. The Bible says that those who didn’t multiply their talents, out of fear for example, will be called wicked and lazy servants and cast into outer darkness. Don’t let this happen to you.
[Matthew 25:28-30] Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[Matthew 21:43] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
[Matthew 21:19] And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Just as the Lord Jesus saw that the fig tree bore no figs and cursed it forever, He can do the same with some who know how to bear fruit, but do not; who ought to bear fruit, but refuse. The Lord Jesus does not only curse fig trees—He can also curse people.
Even though I know this will cause controversy, what I’m saying now is what the Holy Spirit is telling me to say.
I can bless and I can curse, says the Lord. I can curse what I once blessed. Those hands which I once blessed so they would, in turn, bless others and be fruitful, I can also curse if they do not produce the fruit they should, says the Lord.
Therefore, do not be deceived and do not fail to obtain the grace of God. If you keep playing with spiritual things, playing with the callings and the positions of leadership where I have placed many of you, the blessing can indeed stop reaching you and can become a curse.
Little children, says the Lord, I want to rescue you from the serious consequences you could face, because every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Understand that those trees are you, and if you are not fruitful, you will be cut down, says the Lord, for it is a disgrace to be able to bear fruit and not do it.
[Matthew 7:19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[John 15:2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
I want to bless you and not curse you, says the Lord. I want you to multiply what I have given you, not have it taken away.
Respond now, says the Lord, because many have come to a point where they will have to go through a time of restoration, of fasting and sackcloth, until they feel the presence of the Holy Spirit again as they once did.
Noelia: The Lord is showing me that many of you no longer feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as you once did—when you worshipped God, when you praised Him, when you served Him, when you prophesied, when you spoke of His works. You don’t feel as filled with the Holy Spirit as before, and it’s because you’re sinning, rejecting the sacred things that belong to serving in the Lord’s temple. You’ve reached a point where it’s no longer enough just to say, “Lord, I repent.”
You’re going to have to make things right with the Lord again by going through a season of sackcloth, fasting, and prayer, so that perhaps God will show His face to you once more.
I’m speaking to a people who are stubborn, who close their ears so they won’t hear what I have to say when it’s correction. You only want to hear good words, words of blessing, but then, when the consequences of the curse come, you start to wonder why these things are happening to you.
Many of you are turning your face away from Me, says the Lord, and I have tapped you on the back more than once to call you. “My child, I want you by My side. My child, don’t go far from Me. My child, I can heal you—I want to help you. Have faith. Endure the trial. Walk through the process. I am with you,” the Lord would say to you, but you didn’t want to turn around, look Him in the eyes, and say yes.
But now, when you start to feel dry because the Holy Spirit no longer moves in you like rivers of living water, you begin to wonder what’s happening—if God has left your life, your home, your ministry.
Don’t let it get to the point where I no longer want to turn My face toward you, says the Lord, for I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. But many of you are testing Me, telling Me “no” to My calling, or saying “yes,” but hating it in your heart.
You’re like a child whose parents tell him to clean his room, tidy up, shower, manage money, study, and so on. Maybe he does it, but he does it out of fear or obligation, yet inside he resents every command, thinking, “I’m so tired of these people. When will I finally be old enough to leave this house and do whatever I want?”
That’s how you are, says the Lord—just like rebellious children who don’t do things because they love their parents and want to honor them, but because they have no other choice. Otherwise, they’d be left without bread to eat, without a roof over their heads, without clothes to wear.
I (Noelia) now see a sky-blue precious stone. It’s not a small gem for a ring or a necklace, but a very large stone, as if it weighed five kilos or more. Some of us have received things so great and we don’t even realize it—we haven’t valued it, and we’ve even rejected it. And to whom much is given, much will be required, as the Word says.
It’s true that what the Lord gives us is by grace and we do nothing to deserve it. But it’s also true that to whom much is given, much is required, because it’s like someone who isn’t just an employee, but a manager of the company: he holds a higher position, with greater responsibility, and more weight on his shoulders.
This stone I’m seeing is like a sapphire, sky-blue in color. It’s a precious stone of immeasurable value, because a sapphire of this size is nothing like a small stone meant for jewelry.
The Lord says: To whom much is given, much will be required, and less will be forgiven. In other words, the more responsibility you carry in the kingdom, the less room there is for mistakes.
There are people and ministries who don’t know what they’ve received from the Lord. It’s like someone who finds a jewel of immeasurable value—a jewel that almost no one ever finds, that everyone would love to have, to keep, to clean, to polish, to display, to show off. But the one who owns it doesn’t realize what he has, doesn’t value it, and sometimes even wishes he hadn’t received it or found it at all.
[Luke 12:48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
In Argentina, we say that a teacher or a boss can “keep you on a short leash.” That means they give you very little room for error, and as soon as you make the slightest mistake, the teacher scolds you and says, “No, no, no. That’s not how it’s done. Be careful. Fix what you did wrong.”
I’m sharing this example so you’ll understand that the more you’ve received, the more will be required of you, and the shorter the Lord will keep your leash.
The Lord doesn’t allow the same margin for error to someone who’s been given a small precious stone as He does to someone who’s received a large one—a gift few ever receive.
Many are given one talent, but few receive ten. It’s a privilege to be given such a gift, calling, or ministry. These are ministries of great impact, meant to reach many people, to transform lives, to heal many. They are ministries that leave a mark, that leave footprints in people’s lives.
There are people in these ministries who don’t realize what they’ve received or how valuable it is, and they don’t feel privileged. So they don’t honor it, don’t value it, don’t take care of it, and don’t give thanks for it as they should.
These people need to repent, says the Lord, before what was given to them is taken away and they have to face the consequences of rejecting such a great honor from God. And those consequences can range from small to great, even to death.
The more a person has been given, the greater the gift, the calling, the service, or the ministry God has entrusted to them, the more serious the consequences will be for rejecting these gifts.
Many of you are serving God in what He’s called you to do, but you’re wishing for what others have received—for someone else’s calling, someone else’s ministry—looking down on the service you’re meant to do for God, constantly comparing yourselves and saying, “What I have is little. What I have is useless, worthless, unrecognized. No one sees it.”
You’re envying another’s ministry and comparing yourselves to them, but what you don’t realize is that you couldn’t bear what they’ve been given, because to whom much is given, much will be required.
God is stricter with those who receive more talents, more callings, more ministries, more impact, more influence. The Lord is stricter because the mistakes that person makes will affect far more people than those in ministries with less influence.
What those who desire these ministries or gifts they call great don’t realize is that they’re not made to carry those precious stones. They couldn’t do it—it would simply be too much. Besides, they have no idea what it means to carry such a burden and to answer those callings, and they lose their gratitude for the task God has given them, lose their humility, lose their joy.
You need to repent, says the Lord.
God says that some of you have sinned and have reached a serious point in this sin. In the past, you would ask God for forgiveness and He would forgive you quickly. But little by little, this grace is running out, and it won’t be the same if you keep doing the same things, knowing you shouldn’t—if you keep complaining in the same way, knowing that complaining is a sin. It won’t be so easy anymore.
If you truly repent, God will forgive you, but you will still suffer consequences, like what happened to Moses, who, instead of speaking to the rock, struck it so that water would come out. God forgave his sin, but took away his chance to enter the promised land.
This is what the Lord will do in this time, if those who are in this situation don’t change their attitude and truly convince the Lord that they want to be different regarding the ministry or service they’re doing for Him. Many will be forgiven, but they will face the consequences of their complaining and grumbling against God, of their demands toward God.
They were meant to enter the promised land in this season, but they will not, for they have fallen into anger and sinned, just as when Moses struck the rock. If they truly repent and seek God with all their heart, He will forgive them and they will not be cut off. Yet there are things they should have received that they will not obtain, because they have created spiritual debts that, in some way, must be paid.
Moses sinned when he struck the rock, as the Bible says. He was not a man who sinned continually, yet a single act of disobedience caused him to lose the right to enter the promised land he had so deeply longed for.
A single mistake concerning your ministry, a single act of foolishness, can cost you what you have waited for so long—even what God Himself promised to give you.
Yes, God will forgive many who have not taken their service to the Lord seriously, or who have served with contempt, with hatred, with bitterness, or without desire. If they repent and turn, God will forgive them. But consequences will come upon many who have already filled the cup, who have had many chances to change and have not taken them.
The kingdom that Saul lost was given to David. Saul was the anointed king, the first over Israel, but because of his sin and disobedience, the kingdom was taken from him and given to David. Yet even after receiving such a tremendous gift, the honor of being king over Israel, and knowing what Saul had done, David still committed adultery with Bathsheba and, in trying to cover up her pregnancy, had Uriah killed.
Later, because David repented with all his heart when he realized what he had done, God told him through the prophet Nathan that He would forgive his sin, but his son would die. And in seven days, the child died.
[2 Samuel 12:14] Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
David was chosen by God. The Bible says he was a man after God’s own heart. Yet once he allowed himself to be led astray, once he took sin lightly, once he stumbled, the life of his son was taken because of what he had done.
David himself did not die, but in some way that debt had to be paid, because he was chosen by God, and because of what he had received, he could not be allowed to make such a grave mistake. And not only that, but the sword never left his house, as Scripture says.
Do not trifle with spiritual things, says the Lord. Do not put off what I have called you to do. Put Me first, not people. Stop worrying about what others will say. Separate yourselves from fear, for it can lead you to hell if you are negligent with what I have given you.
Steward the spiritual gifts well and share what I have given you. For many are keeping them for themselves and not sharing, when the Bible says the gifts are for the building up of the Church.
Clothe yourselves with seriousness, says God. And I (Noelia) see a man putting on a white shirt, a black suit, and a tie. This vision represents that we should clothe ourselves spiritually with seriousness for the things of the Lord, for what He desires us to do.
Take things seriously, says the Lord. Do not serve Me superficially. Pray and fast over the service you are called to do, says the Lord. Cleanse yourselves from all defilement. Stop juggling with the spiritual things of the Kingdom of Heaven.
We are in the last days. Events are intensifying, and there is less time to accomplish tasks for the Kingdom than in previous seasons, when perhaps things could be done over a longer period. But now the days are being shortened and everything is accelerating. Everything is moving faster, and the time for learning and preparation is decreasing so that certain things may be fulfilled.
That is why the Lord no longer gives a person the same amount of time as before to accomplish what must be done. Before, the master might give his servant an hour to complete a task, but now he gives him half an hour to do the same job, because that servant can be trained in less time than before, thanks to the resources available in this era.
Now I see a person sitting at a table, and on the table there are different tokens. There’s a single round token; next to it, there are two round tokens; and further on, five round tokens. The person at the table looks at this scene and says, “Which of these will be for me?”
But the Lord says, what that person really needs to ask is, “What price am I willing to pay?” Count the cost of serving Me. Count the cost not just of following Me, but of serving Me, and commit to paying it, says the Lord.
Noelia: The Lord is showing me that when He calls us to serve, we belong to Him. What we do for Him is something we owe Him. In a way, we are indebted to Him, and we have a debt to pay.
[Luke 17:10] So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
When God calls us to serve, what He gives us to do is never beyond our ability. Each of us is able to pay the price that needs to be paid. He won’t demand more than what we can give. But we need to understand the cost of what we’ve received and be willing to pay it, to want to do it with love, dedication, and honor.
On the other hand, those who are asking for things need to be very careful about what you’re asking for, because many of you are desiring and asking for gifts, ministries, callings, and so on. That’s not wrong in itself, but with that, you also need to count the cost and ask yourselves if you’re truly willing to pay it. Because the calling can cost you absolutely everything.
Many of you are ambitious for ministries or spiritual gifts, but you don’t consider the cost of building that foundation for God.
[Luke 14:28-33] For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
That’s exactly what the Lord is speaking about in this word. And I see that this arrow has pierced the hearts of many. You need to reconsider and reflect. You truly need to sit down and examine yourselves to see where you stand and make decisions.
You need to stop playing around, as the Lord said, and start taking things seriously and doing them well, to the best of your ability, because you’re doing it for Jesus Christ. It’s not for just anyone—it’s for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It’s for the Prince of Peace. It’s for the One whose enemies will be made a footstool under His feet.
Sometimes you’re not aware of who you’re doing this for, who you’re offering this service to. Think about this, says the Lord. Ask yourselves about the state of your service, and those who find that you’re off track, straighten your path; and those who have complained, start giving thanks; and those who have rejected, accept, embrace, recognize, pray about your identity, and move forward.
There are some who are simply so tired because they’re breaking the fourth commandment and never rest. They don’t sleep, and when they do, they don’t rest. Maybe they never, ever ask the Holy Spirit to lead them into physical and mental rest.
They never take time to recover, and this has completely worn them down. They simply can’t go on. That’s why they hate serving—because they can’t, because physically they just can’t do it anymore. They’ve reached their limit.
The Lord says you need to understand the importance of rest.
Others have remained stuck in the wounds of the past and haven’t forgiven. They haven’t let go or risen up to move forward. They remain resentful and keep watching what happens to those who hurt them.
Instead of forgiving, letting go, and releasing those people—leaving justice in the Lord’s hands—they’re stuck in the past, like Lot’s wife. They need healing, but they don’t seek it, nor do they receive prayer from other brothers and sisters.
I also see some ministers who have stopped loving their neighbor. At first, they loved the people they served, helped, and prayed for, but later they began to dislike those people. They no longer have God’s love as before, because, as they say, they’re tired of people. They don’t want to see anyone anymore. They don’t want anything to do with the brothers and sisters, or the pastors, or anyone.
They want to be alone, they want to isolate themselves, they want to withdraw from people, and they don’t realize the state they’ve entered. This isn’t a separation that comes from Me for a season to bring healing or recovery—rather, they’re detesting people and breaking the commandment that says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Maybe they’re serving their brothers and sisters, but inside they’re rejecting them, detesting them, and they’re weary of people.
The Lord says they need to set themselves apart for a time of prayer, to seek Me and ask Me to fill them once again with My love for people, with My mercy, My compassion, and My patience. Many of you have lost patience with others.
The Lord says that when this happens, you need to pause and do whatever it takes to recover that love and patience you’ve lost for people. That’s a warning sign, the Lord tells Me. That’s an alert.
When you start rejecting people, not wanting to see them, not wanting to hear anything about them, not even wanting to receive a message or meet with anyone, that’s a serious warning sign. It’s an SOS, the Lord tells Me. When that happens, truly seek the Lord’s help. You can’t let time pass in that condition, because it’s extremely dangerous. From there to falling into sin is just one step, because nothing matters anymore.
Be careful with this, the Lord tells Me. And I (Noelia) hear: “disgusted with people.” And I hear again: “disgusted with people.”
It’s true that even Jesus once said, “How much longer must I put up with you?” Many of us who minister to others reach that point.
But when that happens, it’s a sign you can’t ignore, the Lord tells Me. You must examine what’s happening, what you’re doing, how much you’re serving, how you’re serving, and seek help—seek Me—and don’t let yourself be swept along by that current, because it can lead you to burn out and lose your way.
Little children, says the Lord, I love you, I love you, I love you.
And the Lord repeats again that He gives us this message because He wants to rescue us from the pit of bitterness, from those bitter waters of Marah.
Don’t enter those bitter waters of Marah, says the Lord. Go another way. You can’t get stuck there. Ask for the sweetness of the Holy Spirit and for nourishment that will comfort you. Look for new paths, and ask Me for a change when you’re in that place, says the Lord, but don’t remain in those bitter waters, because bitterness can kill you—spiritually, first of all, and it can even make you sick to the point of death, says the Lord.
Don’t let yourselves become bitter, little children. If you see that you’re starting to grow bitter, cry out to heaven for help so your direction can be changed and you can be shown how to uproot that bitterness from your hearts.
I love you and I care for you, says the Lord. Repent and seek Me, and I will restore you.
After entering the state I’ve been describing, the Lord is showing Me that whoever truly recognizes this condition, repents, rejects that hatred for people, and desires to change, the Lord will surely restore them.
There is a restoration that is possible, but there must be a true, genuine, and honest brokenness. Ask Me for the key, says the Lord, so that I may open the door of restoration for you.
Be very careful with how you treat the people you minister to and with how you serve, because if you don’t take care of this, what usually happens is that a minister in this state of bitterness ends up wounding souls. Then things get worse, and the situation becomes even more complicated, because spiritual debts begin to pile up.
There is a solution, says the Lord, and I don’t bring down the axe at the first misstep My children make. I am not one who cuts lightly, who punishes, who wounds, or who kills without thought, says the Lord.
For a tree to be cut down, it must have gone through many winters, says the Lord. To come to the point of cursing a fig tree, it must have grieved the Holy Spirit deeply and come close to blasphemy, the Lord is showing me.
I do not cut down at the first mistake, God repeats to me. To reach that point, much water must have flowed under the bridge—many opportunities, many warnings, many answers to many questions.
It is not easy for Me to cut down a plant I want to see grow and flourish, says God. Before that moment comes, I use every possible means to rescue it, just as you try to save a little plant that is drying up but you love dearly.
To come to that place, something extreme must have happened, says the Lord, where the person’s conscience has become hardened. The Spirit must have convicted them many times before they reach the point of facing God’s judgment and having what was given to them taken away.
But there is indeed a limit when My hammer strikes the table and there is no turning back, says the Lord—just as it happened to Moses when he could not enter the promised land, or to David when his son died because of his sin.
Be careful, and do not take spiritual things lightly, God repeats.
But to the one who humbles himself, I will surely restore him, and I will teach him how to keep serving Me without that bitterness, without that rejection, without that denial—how to lay aside those complaints, that murmuring against Me, says the Lord.
I will teach you, but come with all your heart, come sincerely, come humbled. And to those who are dry, I will comfort you again with My heavenly waters. And those who feel the Holy Spirit no longer moves in them or through them will be like a fire rekindled.
There is still hope, says the Lord, but I am searching for honest hearts willing to offer to Me like Abel, not like Cain—to bring Me true offerings, good offerings, offerings from a good, grateful, and gentle heart.
I love you, little children. Listen to this message as many times as you need when you see the devil trying to bring you to that point where you do not want to serve Me anymore.
And remember that everything you do, you must do for Me and for no one else, because remembering this will motivate you if you truly love Me. For it is all about love, says the Lord.
I want you to love Me through your service, and to recognize Me as the giver of life and of all you possess. I want to receive the love of My children through what your hands do for Me. Understand that it is about love, and that serving Me is a way of loving Me, says the Lord.
I bless you and anoint you with oil of restoration. I restore the fire in your hands, I heal your weary hearts, and I caress your burdened backs.
Come to Me and rest in Me, in Christ Jesus, and I will bless you. And repent, so that the curses brought on by rejecting service may be broken, says the Lord.
Noelia: The Lord is showing me that this attitude described in the message can bring curses upon a person. Despising the calling, doing it unwillingly, complaining, grumbling, hating, despising—all of these can bring curses upon a person and their household.
But if you repent and turn away from this evil, says the Lord, I can bless you.
Amen. Thank You, Lord.
