Translation from Spanish
Blessings, beloved people of God. Psalm 23 says:
[Psalms 23] The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Today, the Lord is sending us a word of comfort, directly connected to this Psalm.
My child, I am here, says the Lord, speaking these words of love to comfort your soul. I am here to tell you that if you’ve made a mistake, forgiveness is within reach; if you’ve fallen, get up and take My hand again. Just repent, choose to follow Me, and I’ll take care of the rest.
I am here right now to encourage your soul, says Jesus, to tell you that if you have defiled yourself, I am able to cleanse you; if you’ve been stained, I can wash your garments and make them white again, just as before.
I am here to call you to persevere to the end, says the Lord, no matter what happens, no matter the cost. Because you matter to Me, says Jesus. Because you are important to Me. Because I am your Creator, your Maker, and I am the One who helps you, who has helped you, and who will help you finish this race, no matter how hard it may seem.
I love you, says the Lord. I am attentive to what you tell Me. I am watching what happens in your life, and I look on you closely, intently. I do not abandon you. I am always with you. I do not turn away when you make a mistake.
I am not impatient, says the Lord. I am a Lord of great and enduring mercy, and I know how to wait for you until you come to your senses and walk by My side again. And when you go astray, I extend My hedge so you may return to My house, because My house is the only place that can comfort you, says the Lord. My house is the only hospital that can heal you.
Come to My house, says the Lord, and do not run from My healing hands, for since I made you, I am the only One who can restore you completely, one hundred percent, without error, without flaw, without wasting time.
Come, says the Lord, so I can embrace you and you can weep on My shoulders when no one else wants to bear with you. Because when people’s patience runs out, Mine is still abundant. When everyone leaves your side, I remain with you. When people betray you, says Jesus, I am still faithful.
I am here. I said I would be, and I have not failed My word, says the Lord. I know what you are going through. I know what it feels like to be under intense pressure. I know what it is to be crushed. But I also know what comes after paying the price to reach that place of refinement and perfection.
Hold on, says the Lord, for your effort is not in vain, and your tears are not in vain. All those things that went wrong, all those ways you failed—but you repented, asked Me for forgiveness, and did what you could to make things right—have been erased from your book, says the Lord, if you truly repented with all your heart.
I am a God of opportunities, says Jesus. I am not a God of just one, two, or three chances. I will not let you go and I will not let you slip away, for you are Mine, and I bought you at the highest price a soul can have: the price of most holy blood.
You are Mine, says the Lord, and it won’t be easy for you to leave My side, because I will pursue you as many times as it takes. Just don’t believe the enemy when he whispers in your ear, telling you that you’ve failed, that there’s no turning back, that there’s no more chance, that there’s no more forgiveness. Because as long as you have not committed the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit, says the Lord, there will always be forgiveness. Even for the sins that seem most serious to you, says the Lord, even those sins were paid for with that blood for those who are willing to repent with all their heart.
Little children, says the Lord, you belong to Me and not to the devil. Those who have given themselves to Me are Mine. I Myself paid with everything I had to make you My own. Therefore, I will fight for you until the very last second of your lives, and I will not let you go until I have tried as many times as it takes to bring you back to My side.
To all who have wandered, says the Lord, I am calling you back even now. I will call you in every way I can, to see if I might win you back—like a bridegroom who sees his bride slipping away, yet tries again and again, by every means possible, until he wins her heart once more.
I am not one who tries just once to restore a relationship and then grows weary, bored, or impatient, says the Lord. I am persistent. I am relentless. I am like those suitors who knock at the door of the woman they love, bringing flowers to win her heart, and if there is no answer, they find another way to catch her attention, until at last she opens to them. And once they do, says the Lord, they defend that relationship with everything they have, until there is nothing left to try.
That is who I am, says the Lord—the bridegroom always willing to win back His bride, the man who, even if his wife leaves him, waits at the door and does not turn away at the first chance to chase after another. I am not one who is just waiting for an excuse to leave His beloved, says the Lord. I am the One who fights to the very end.
Be like that as well, and do not abandon Me, says the Lord. If you drift away, return. If you fall, rise again. If you fail, ask for forgiveness and seek Me once more. Forgive yourselves too, and come seek Me again, says the Lord. Reconcile with Me as many times as needed. I don’t mind if you are persistent. I don’t mind if you make many mistakes. But it does grieve Me when you abandon Me, says the Lord.
Set right what needs to be set right, says Jesus. There is still time. Make use of the moment while the door is open, for the days ahead are evil, and soon that door will close and the opportunities will run out. But for now, says the Lord, while you walk this earth, do not think the opportunities have already passed you by.
Consider this, says the Lord, for there are many lies the devil has spoken to your mind, trying to make you believe that what is coming upon the world will be greater than you. Reflect, and cleanse your mind of those deceptive thoughts.
For while you are listening to My words when they are hard, says the Lord, the devil is whispering in your other ear, trying to convince you that you won’t be able to endure, that you won’t make it through the trial, that you are weak, that you are fragile, that he will easily overcome you, making you forget that you are standing on the eternal Rock, and that truly, in your weakness I will be glorified.
For I know the path My people must walk, says Jesus. I know how much My people can bear. I know exactly how far I must lead them so they are refined and survive. And you must understand that the purpose of what is coming upon the world, and of the trials and situations you face in your lives, is not to destroy you, but to perfect you. Not to break you down, but to build you up.
You must trust Me, says Jesus, for My love is not fickle like yours, but everlasting, and My faithfulness is unchanging and never fails.
Trust Me and let go of the thought of giving up. Let go of the idea of quitting. Cast aside those words you so often repeat—that you won’t make it, that this is not for you, that you are not strong enough, that you cannot do it, that I am not there—for none of that is true.
I do not give you a burden heavier than you can bear, says Jesus. Notice that, though many times you thought you wouldn’t make it, you have come this far because I have helped you, says the Lord. But instead of focusing on what is good, on what can be redeemed, you have fixed your eyes on what you should not—on mistakes, on failures, on disappointments, on betrayals—and you have not seen the good that can be drawn out of all those bad things.
Repent of your unbelief, says the Lord. Repent for letting the devil frustrate you. Repent for throwing in the towel, for giving up and leaving Me behind. Come, cry out to Me to restore you, for I am more than ready for that cry. I am more than prepared to help you. My arms are wide open to receive you. I am waiting for the prodigal sons to return, to rejoice and to hold a feast in heaven.
Noelia: I see the Lord Jesus embracing the children who once left but are now coming back. He hugs them with such love, with such joy, like a father or mother welcoming a child they haven’t seen in a long time and have missed so deeply.
The Lord Jesus is showing me that He suffers greatly when a child leaves, runs away, turns back, and abandons Him to return to their old ways. Yet He waits, like someone watching at the window, saying, “Maybe today they will come home,” and the next day he’s there again, watching and thinking, “Surely today is the day. Today they will return. Today they will remember Me. Today I will matter to them again.” In this way, every single day, the Lord Jesus waits for you like no one else on earth ever could.
The love I have for you, says the Lord, is not a worldly love. It’s not conditional. It’s not a love you can bargain for. It’s a perfect love, a love many of you have never known, but one you can experience if you remain with Me.
I want to heal everything, everything that hurts you, says the Lord. I am willing to help, and I want to heal you so that pain will never touch you again. I want to stop the bleeding in your heart. I want to dry the tears that so many never see, the ones that run down your cheeks each day because of so much pain. I want to carry those burdens you feel crushing your back every day, the ones that make you feel like you can’t go on.
I want to bring a smile to your face through My love for you, says Jesus. Are you willing to receive it? All I’m waiting for is your yes.
I love you with a deep love. Don’t stray from the path. Don’t give up your faith. Stand firm, says the Lord. Rise up now. Believe Me when I say I’ll help you, that I’ll lift your arms when they fall, that I’ll give you strength when you have none, that I’ll answer the questions in your heart, that I’ll show you the way you need to walk, that I’ll reveal the root of your problems, if you truly seek Me with all your heart in the secret place.
Believe Me, I am watching over you at all times, not just for an hour like people do. I am able, and I care for My own continually.
Rise up! says the Lord. Get up! Raise your sword and begin to fight with the word of the Spirit. Raise your shield and defend yourself with the faith I have given you. It’s not too late, says the Lord, and today I open the door to welcome you in.
Noelia: The Lord says you should share this word with anyone you think may need it. This is a time of reconciliation. While great apostasy is coming upon the world, at the same time many prodigal children are returning to the Father, and the Father is ready to receive them with open arms, to cleanse them, to forgive them, to restore them, and to help them finish what He began.
[Philippians 1:6] being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
Today the Lord sets this sword, this verse, on your table so you will remember it each day. It won’t be you who finishes what He began. The Lord only wants your “yes.” He wants your decision and your willingness. But the One who will finish that work, perfecting it to the very end, is the Lord—the same One who called you, who forgave you, and who today says, “I am willing to help you, that we may walk together until the day is finished.”
Amen.
