Translation from Spanish
Blessings in the precious name of Christ Jesus. The Spirit of God wants to minister today to some of you who feel lost, who feel you’ve lost your way, who feel you’re in a place where you shouldn’t be, or that you don’t have peace about certain decisions you’ve made.
The Bible says:
[Romans 8:14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
While I was praying in my secret place, I had several visions in which I saw some brothers and sisters asking in their hearts, “Am I where I’m supposed to be? Is the direction I’ve taken the right one? There are certain decisions that don’t sit right with me, and I’m not fully convinced that the course I’ve chosen is really the right one. I don’t feel the peace of the Spirit of God.”
It is specifically to them that the Lord wants to minister today, and He says to all who feel this way:
Be at peace, little ones. Calm the storms in your spirits. Sit down and listen calmly and confidently to what I am going to say to you, knowing that you have a good Father who takes care of His children. When you lose your way, when you lose your direction, when you lose your bearings, I go and look for you to put you back where you need to be.
Little ones, sit down and be still, says the Lord, and have peace through these words that I speak to you through My servant Noelia, because I speak to you out of love and not condemnation, because I speak to save you from many mistakes and from the consequences they may bring if you do not correct your steps and your ways.
Some of you have strayed a little from the path you were supposed to walk, says the Lord, but today I am here, speaking to you to fix those compasses whose needles are now loose and no longer pointing in the right direction.
[Psalms 143:10] Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Some of you do not have peace, no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you seek Me, no matter how much you read the Word, no matter how much you gather with other believers, no matter how much you fulfill your Christian duties, and you feel like a puzzle piece that is not where it should be, says the Lord.
This is because when one of My children strays from the path he is supposed to walk, when he strays from the direction I want him to take in order to fulfill his prophetic destiny, peace withdraws from his spirit as a sign that he has lost his way.
That’s why many of you have been asking yourselves these past few days, “What’s happening to me? Why don’t I feel right after making this or that decision? Is this what God wanted me to do? Is this the place the Lord truly called me to move to? Is this the job where I am supposed to be?”
Noelia: The Spirit of God wants to teach you today that one of the signs that you are where God wants you to be is peace. If you are not living in willful sin, if your hands are clean and your garments are white, if you are doing good and not evil, but even so there is no peace in your life, one of the reasons may be that you have strayed from your individual prophetic destiny.
The Holy Spirit tells me that this is one of the ways He communicates with His own: through the presence of peace or through the absence of peace. And one of the ways you can know if you are doing what God wants you to do is whether there is peace within you or whether that peace has left you.
The Spirit of God is inviting you to ask yourselves when you lost that peace, and He is speaking to those who have strayed from the path.
Ask yourself in your heart when the peace you once experienced left your life, says the Lord. Was it after making a specific decision? Was it from the moment you made that decision in your heart, even though you had not yet carried it out?
[Isaiah 32:17] The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Noelia: The Spirit shows me right now that even when we haven’t yet carried out certain things we are thinking of doing, if we have already decided in our hearts that we will do them, the Holy Spirit immediately takes away our peace as a sign that we are about to stray from God’s will. His manifestation in us diminishes the very moment we make a decision that leads us away from the path God has marked out for us.
The Lord reveals to me that, for some of you, this word is an answer, as though God were speaking straight to your face
Others made a decision and carried it out, and immediately doors began to close. Some moved to another city, and doors began to close. They couldn’t find work, their housing problems weren’t resolved, and new problems began to arise. Their ties with other people began to break down, and they’re finding it hard to connect with new people.
It’s as if you take a step forward and run into a wall, as if you take a step to the left and run into another wall, and the same thing happens to the right. All the paths are closed, and you literally feel like you’re at a dead end.
Some of you dreamed that you were at a dead end and, in some cases, God also showed you in the dream, either directly or symbolically, what you had to do to get out of there.
Since one aspect of this ministry is to build up the church in everything related to dreams, visions, and their interpretation, what the Lord does when I give a prophetic message is connect what I’m saying with what you’re dreaming or seeing in visions.
The Spirit shows me right now another common dream that indicates you’ve strayed from the path: you’re driving and, suddenly, the car stops and you can’t move forward, or the road is blocked and you have to turn back. And God tells you to pay attention to your dreams if you have doubts about whether you’re aligned with His plan for your life, because He can confirm through them if you’re on the right path or if you’ve strayed.
And the example of Laban comes to mind, where we see that God can use dreams to keep someone from straying from His will or from doing something that doesn’t please Him.
[Genesis 31:24] God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
In the same way, God is speaking to His children at this time to keep them from making mistakes that could affect not only their present and their future, but also the lives of their family members.
If you have these kinds of dreams, take them to God in prayer, because it may be the Lord showing you that you’ve lost your bearings, that your compass isn’t properly aligned, or that your GPS has sent you down the wrong road. God wants to save you from those mistakes and bring you back to the path He has for you, so that you will fulfill your purpose in life and what He wants to do will come to pass.
Some of you feel stuck. You feel like you can’t move forward in your purpose. You feel that everything is still, that nothing is moving. The glory of God is not visible in your life. And the Lord shows me that, in some cases, this is happening because you made decisions outside of God’s will. You took a path God didn’t mark out for you.
Most of you didn’t do it on purpose, but simply made a mistake. But for others, God had made it clear that they shouldn’t go down that path, and they did it anyway.
God tells me that some of you did seek His guidance and His will, you prayed and stayed attentive, but you simply didn’t wait as long as you needed to for God to show you the direction, and you got ahead of Him.
Many times, the cause of this mistake is anxiety: not wanting to wait any longer, wanting things to change right now. This is a problem many of you need to deal with: wanting to rush ahead, not wanting to wait, lacking patience.
[Psalms 27:14] Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
God shows me right now that many of us are very restless and want everything immediately. Sometimes we’re going through situations we’d like to see changed, but we don’t have the patience to wait for God to move in that matter, to resolve those situations, and to be the One who opens the way, instead of us trying to force it, because that cannot be forced. The Bible says:
[Isaiah 28:16] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
This is the most important verse in this message because, for many of us, the problem is wanting to rush ahead.
The Lord shows me that today’s message will save many of you from making drastic changes in your lives too soon: getting married, moving, or entering the ministry before God places you there. This message comes just in time for many of you.
Anxiety is not a problem only for unbelievers, but for many of us as well, and we have to take the reins in this area.
I see a horse that wants to run faster than it should, and the Lord says we first have to become aware of this, because it can lead us to make mistakes that are sometimes fatal or take years to correct.
The Lord tells me that the church has to rein in that horse that wants to run wild through the field.
The mistakes some of you have made came from rushing ahead, from being out of God’s timing, from having the prophetic clock in your spirits out of sync, and in some cases also from rebellion, from wanting to go where you wanted to go and when you wanted to go.
When a person is anxious, many times the Lord allows that person to have to wait longer. The more they want to get ahead, the longer the process becomes, not to harm them or to go against them, but to heal them, teach them to wait, and help them cultivate patience.
Although God can do whatever He wants, patience normally doesn’t fall from heaven overnight. It has to be cultivated, watered, and allowed to grow. And many of us are not willing to wait patiently long enough to see the fruit.
Many of you have strayed from God’s path out of ignorance and are now suffering the consequences, whether for having rushed ahead and believed there was no other solution, or for not trusting God when He told you to wait a little longer.
But others strayed on purpose and are now worse off than those who did so in ignorance. Even though God had told you not to do it, you disobeyed, and not only did you lose your peace, but you also feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. You feel like Jonah when he disobeyed the Lord and had to repent and ask Him for another opportunity to obey Him.
When you stray from the will of the Lord and from the path He wants you to walk, peace withdraws to a certain extent if you do it out of ignorance. But if you do it deliberately, like Jonah, peace can withdraw completely, and then you feel as if the Lord is no longer with you, although He is always seeking to redirect you, correct you, and bring you back to the right path.
Little ones, do not worry, says the Lord. Do not worry.
Noelia: The Lord wants you to calm down, and I see that the devil wants to make you feel guiltier than you should. But the Bible says:
[1 John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The solution is for you to repent of having strayed, of having made decisions outside the Lord’s will, of having assumed what His will was for you, and of having wanted to move forward even when all the signs indicated that was not the path.
The Lord says that those who knew through the Holy Spirit that they shouldn’t go down that path and went anyway should repent, because they were stubborn and hardheaded, determined to do what they wanted in their hearts and to make decisions the Holy Spirit had already shown them they shouldn’t make.
Repent and ask for forgiveness, no matter the level of disobedience, no matter how far you have strayed, because God wants to help you return to the right path.
The Lord reveals to me that another reason some of you went astray is that you asked God for prophetic words or signs and received messages that did not come from Him, but you accepted them because they were what you wanted to hear.
This sometimes happens when someone asks God, “Should I do certain things or not? Should I make this decision or not? Should I go this way or that way?” If that person loves his own will more than God’s will for his life and is fully determined to receive a yes from the Lord, he will end up hearing only what confirms that yes, even if it does not come from the Lord.
This happens many times with brothers who look for too many signs, who seek confirmation where they shouldn’y, and who ask for prophetic words when the Holy Spirit never led them to do so, until they end up interpreting anything they see during the day as an answer to what they asked the Lord, even if it doesn’t come from Him.
When someone desires something too much, they have to be more careful than ever with what they receive as a response, supposedly from God, because the heart is deceitful above all things.
[Jeremiah 17:9] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The example of the prophet Micaiah in 1 Kings 22 comes to mind. The king of Israel asked four hundred prophets whether he should go to war, and they told him yes, which was what the king wanted to hear. But then Micaiah came and told him no.
The Lord says that many of you are like that king, who consulted the prophets because he knew those false prophets would tell him what he wanted to hear. But when a true prophet comes and tells you what God really wants to say to you, you don’t accept it and label him a false prophet.
Our heart deceives us when we desire something too much, when we want to follow ourselves instead of taking up our cross to follow Jesus, and then it looks for signs where there are none.
It’s legitimate to ask God for signs, as Gideon did. It’s legitimate to seek confirmation, and it’s even advisable when the Holy Spirit gives us the green light to do so. But sometimes He will give us a red light and say, “Do not look for any more signs, because I have already answered you. Do not look for any more confirmations, because I have already shown you what My will is.”
We have to be careful to restrain ourselves so as not to be like Balaam, to whom God first said not to do such a thing, but he kept insisting until he received the opposite answer and ended up as we all know. Even that can happen when a heart is not free from its own will.
God is teaching you today that no matter how much revelation you have, no matter how close you are to Him, no matter how much of the Word you know, no matter how much fellowship you have with other believers, and no matter how many Christian duties you fulfill, if there is self-idolatry in your heart and you put your own desires and your own will above the will of the Lord, then you are in danger of making the same mistake.
The Lord is inviting you to search your heart to see if you are desiring certain things too much. Some desires do come from God, but others do not, and many times the Lord will call you to make a decision that is not the one you expected. Many times He will point you to a path that is not the one you thought you were supposed to take.
The Lord sent Jonah to Nineveh, which was the last place Jonah wanted to go at that moment, partly to test his obedience and partly to reveal what was in his heart, something that perhaps even he himself hadn’t realized until then.
The Lord does these things so that, by testing our obedience, we may see who we really are. And today He is inviting you to search your heart to see just how much you want what you want.
Maybe you’re the one who wants to move to another country, even though God never spoke to you about that. Maybe you’re the one seeing signs everywhere, signs God never sent. And sometimes it’s the enemy who gives you false dreams to lead you to marry the person you want.
There are false dreams, and there are dreams that come from our own hearts, dreams that reflect what we want to see and the decisions we want to make. And God may test us to see what we do when we dream about what we want to do.
This often happens when someone is in love with another person and is determined to marry them no matter what. One of the ways false direction comes is through dreams, because making an idol of marriage is a sin. Putting your own will above God’s will is a form of self-idolatry.
That’s why the Lord is speaking to you about this in this message. It’s very important that you renounce all idolatry in your heart and pray about what God is saying today, because in these end times, in these dangerous times so full of deception, we cannot afford to go down the wrong path.
Making decisions that lead us away from the Lord’s path can cost us dearly and can even leave us outside His protection. One of the things that guarantee God’s protection over our lives is doing His will and not our own, obeying God and not hardening our hearts, responding to the call of the Holy Spirit, who is speaking to us and showing us the direction we should go in.
And in these end times, the more disobedient God’s children are, the greater the consequences of those deviations will be, especially for those who know how to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As we go deeper into the last days and the birth pains intensify, the consequences of straying from the path will intensify as well. Going back will not be impossible, but it will cost us more than before.
Some of you made hasty decisions and strayed from the path, while others didn’t move when God called you. You didn’t move forward when He told you to move forward. You were not brave enough to take the promised land God wanted to give you. And in that way, you also strayed or fell behind.
But today God is calling you and giving you a new opportunity to get back into place on the prophetic map of your lives and resume the process of fulfilling the purpose that, until now, had been on hold.
Little ones, I am speaking to a rebellious people, says God, because My people, spiritual Israel, are not so different from natural Israel. They go astray in the same way: they don’t listen to My voice, they don’t follow My instructions, they don’t obey My guidance. And it’s not that I don’t guide you, it’s not that I don’t set the traffic light of the Holy Spirit before you, showing you whether to wait or to move forward, but many times you are the ones pretending to be blind.
Today I am here because I love you, says the Lord. I am here to warn you to correct your steps and go back to that moment when you strayed. Do not waste time, because there is no time to waste.
Things will grow more and more turbulent and severe. The problems in the world will not cease. The world will keep shaking while your feet are still planted on it. Lies will spread like cancer through a body. The trials will increase, because I am refining you.
Think twice before moving forward, says the Lord. If you have doubts, if you don’t have the sign of My peace, then stop, if you can discern that the traffic light of the Holy Spirit is red and not green. Wait if I have not yet answered, because everyone who knocks will have the door opened to them, and everyone who seeks finds.
But the times are Mine and not yours, says God. You don’t clearly know which way to go. You don’t see the full prophetic picture of your lives. You don’t have the map of time and space in your hands. Only I do, and I show it little by little. I reveal only in part, and you come to understand it little by little.
It is by faith and not by sight, says God, and many of you want to see in order to make decisions instead of believing. Wait if you do not feel peace. Wait if I have not given the okay for you to move forward. Stop if you see that absolutely nothing is working.
When you move forward to do My will, the devil puts stumbling blocks in your way to hinder you, says God, and many times they are like hurdles you have to keep jumping over. But when you are outside My will, things simply don’t move forward, or they get worse. You feel like you are going backward. You feel stuck, as if your feet were tied. The paths lead nowhere. There is no fruit on the tree.
There are many signs I give when a person is not doing My will, says the Lord, and you have to learn to discern when it’s the devil trying to create obstacles in what you are doing and when it is I putting on the brakes.
My people perish for lack of knowledge, says the Lord. They sin by going the wrong way instead of going to the place I sent them. They are rebellious, they make their own way and waste time. But today I am calling them to repent and return to the footprints I marked in the sand.
My friends, says the Lord, a large percentage of the church is where it should not be. A great number of those who have been born again are not seeking the guidance of the Spirit of God. Only a very small remnant knows how to hear My voice and wants to do My will and not their own. Few truly follow Me.
And to make matters worse, besides not taking up their cross to follow Me, says Jesus, when they face the consequences of that rebellion, that self-sufficiency, that independence from Me, they blame Me.
I am not the One punishing them, says the Lord. It’s the devil who takes advantage of that deviation. I help them and many times protect them from those errors so that they won’t pay more than they should, but they don’t realize, or don’t want to acknowledge, that many of the bad things happening to those who are lost in the path they chose are the result of the decisions they made without consulting Me.
I love you, says the Lord, but you have to be shrewd, wise, and quick to grasp the direction I am showing you, to see the arrows I place in your lives every day. And if you are unsure about something, you have to weigh it before moving forward.
Do not rush, do not be anxious, do not try to do things your own way, because you will pay a high price that I don’t want you to pay. Seek Me in true intimacy, says the Lord. Ask Me to answer, and do not leave that secret place until you receive direction. And if you have made a mistake, ask Me to help you go back to the moment when you lost your way, so that we can walk that part of the journey together, the one that leads you safely to harbor.
My friends, today I am here out of love and I want to correct you, not to sadden you, not to make you feel frustrated, but to rescue you from that error, so that, by making things right with Me, you may change course and see My glory in your lives.
Noelia: One of the reasons you don’t see the glory of God or the manifestation of His power in your lives is because you are out of the Lord’s will. A path that has gone off course is a dark path, where the glory of God is not seen. It’s a dim, dull, monotonous path. It feels as if life is missing, as if you were alone, although the Lord continues watching over us and calling us to correct us and help us find our way back.
Many of you say: “Lord, what is happening? Why don’t I feel Your presence anymore? Why do I feel as if You are no longer with me? Why don’t I hear You the way I used to? Why do I have the sense that I am far from You?” That feeling is real, but not because He has moved away, but because you have strayed from the path He had for you.
I am still here, calling you back, says the Lord.
Noelia: I see Jesus standing on a path of light, calling you to come back without fear, because some of you need to go back to the point where you strayed so you can get back on the right path.
Do not think you are going waste time. You’re wasting it right now, while you remain off course. But if you repent, if you return to the point where you turned away and get back on the right path, the Lord will redeem that lost time and accelerate your progress.
The times are Mine, says the Lord, and I will take care of setting right everything that was thrown off course because of that deviation. Do not worry about the rest, because I will take care of it. Only concern yourselves with doing My will and returning to the point where you lost your way.
Noelia: The Lord tells me that some of you need to fast in order to get back on course, or so that the Lord may confirm whether where you are, what you are doing, or what you decided is according to His will. Some of you are fine, but you need to fast so that your doubts may subside.
God is speaking to some of you through passages of Scripture, regularly bringing a certain passage or verse to mind in order to answer the doubts you have.
And there are those who are like Jonah and feel as if they are in hell. They feel under condemnation. Peace is completely gone. They can’t feel the presence of the Spirit at all. Their dreams are chaotic and reflect the spiritual state they are in.
These truly need to repent and seek God, to do their part to restore their relationship with the Lord, because that’s on another level. Deliberately straying is on another level, and so is what one experiences.
But the answer is always the same: repent, confess our sins, and the Lord is faithful and just to forgive us. And once we’ve done this, we receive God’s forgiveness and peace.
The Lord tells me that many of you moved to another city and are having a hard time because you rushed ahead or because you went where God hadn’t sent you.
Lord, provide solutions for those who love You but lost their way through ignorance, through failing to seek Your Holy Spirit, through not knowing how to follow Your guidance, through not having a strong relationship with You, through being careless and superficial, through following other voices, or through being led astray by the deceit of their own hearts. We ask You for them, Lord, because they are also Your children, even though right now they are like lost sheep.
Father of glory, we ask You for signs for those who don’t know how to understand You and hear You easily. Open channels of communication in their lives. Give them a clear yes and a clear no regarding the paths they have taken, so they may know which ones come from You and which don’t.
Lord, help those who need to repent. Call the Jonahs of these times to repentance, those who deliberately went down another path, thinking they could escape from You. Help them come back, Lord, because there is still opportunity, just as there was for Jonah.
Lord, give Your church a compass in these days, because much of it is not where it needs to be and is not doing what You want it to do. Help everyone who struggles to take up their cross and follow You. Set the lost back on course, Lord.
Open the paths that must be open and close the ones that must be closed, because You open and no one can close, and if You close, no one can open. In many cases there are closed paths because You Yourself closed them, because they are not the paths You want us to walk.
Lord, we ask You to clear the horizon and mark out the direction for each one of us. Set many who are off course back on the right heading and adjust their prophetic clock.
For those who do know what they have to do, but are doing it outside Your timing—too slowly, too quickly, or waiting longer than they should—we ask You for conviction. And for those who have already received an answer from You, Lord, we ask for certainty and steadfastness in obeying Your direction.
Thank You, Lord. All the glory and all the honor belong to You, the One who guides His own. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
God tells me that many of you need to seek Him and stop looking for answers in sermons. Many are falling into an almost esoteric mindset, saying, “Lord, if You want me to do this, make a certain person speak about it.” Then they turn on the computer, play any video, and take whatever comes out of the preacher’s mouth as their answer.
Discern and be careful. Seek God first, and only then confirmation through signs or prophecy. Amen.
