Translation from Spanish
God bless you, beloved people of the Lord. The Lord wants to speak during this time so His children won’t walk in darkness, because we are not of the night but of the day. The Lord lights our path so we can see what is coming upon the world and the Church, and be ready to stand firm through what lies ahead.
The verse I received from the Lord for this year is:
[Matthew 24:13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
The keywords for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ this year are perseverance, endurance, watchfulness, and observation.
Children, says the Lord, I will continue to shake the nations. Darkness will continue to spread across the earth with ever greater intensity, while My children will radiate more and more light. The two extremes will become more pronounced: the light will shine much more brightly as the darkness grows ever denser. But you must learn to stand firm, little ones.
The keywords you must engrave on your hearts in this time are perseverance and endurance. You must be like a strong pillar that nothing can knock down. You must be like a turtle that sees danger coming and withdraws into its shell to withstand the blows.
Noelia: In the previous prophetic word, the Lord said that the end times are like a woman’s labor pains: the contractions are mild and far apart at first, with periods of rest between them so she can prepare for greater suffering, but later they become more frequent and more painful until the baby is born.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of those contractions. Other events will follow, and the Church will have to go through them to be tested and demonstrate her faith and perseverance. The Church will enter the fiery furnace to be refined, so that her faith and radiance will increase and the Lord will find her more glorious when He comes.
The Lord told me: “Little ones, I will train you. I will teach you to stand firm and persevere, no matter what happens, no matter what comes, no matter how long it lasts, no matter what you suffer.” And many of us will learn what it means to carry our cross, because the Word says that whoever loves their life will lose it, but whoever hates it and renounces it will gain it.
Many still haven’t understood what it means to carry the cross of Christ and have the honor of suffering as He did, but they will learn in the days ahead. After going through a great and unexpected trial, you’re no longer the same person; you learn what it truly means to be a child of God created to live in this time.
Do not think that you are living in these times by chance. God made you with the traits you need specifically for this time and the place where you are, and He gave you what you need to endure everything that is coming.
[Luke 21:19] In your patience possess ye your souls.
Many events are still to come. Things are not as they seem. Many think that the waters of the world are calm now, but the leviathan is moving beneath the surface and will emerge at any moment to try to knock you down and keep you from standing firm through the events that must still take place and that the Church must go through until the coming of the Lord Jesus.
The world is not calm during these times. Right now we are merely passing through one of those periods of rest between contractions. When you least expect it, a worldwide shaking will come, a sudden storm that will give you no time to prepare, run, or take shelter.
We will see shocking things that will shake our hearts and bring out what we have stored within them. These things will back us into a corner, leaving us no choice but to show who we really are.
The Lord will show the difference between those who say they are children of God and those who truly are. What is coming will make you reveal what lies deep in your heart, because only through tribulation do human beings show who they really are.
The coming events will transform the world even more than the COVID-19 pandemic did, and they will astonish you. Your eyes will open and you will say, “I can’t believe it. I didn’t think it would be this serious.” Then your true image will appear in the mirror of God’s truth, and you will realize you were not as clean as you thought.
You will realize you were not willing to die for the Lord Jesus if necessary. You will realize you were not as full of love, mercy, forgiveness, and compassion for your neighbor as you believed. You will realize that what you read in the Bible was true and that what the apostles and disciples of the early Church suffered also awaits us in these days.
God speaks to you with such firmness today so that, instead of opening the door to fear, giving in, or falling apart inside, you decide to stand firm as a soldier of the last days—not only to endure what is coming, but also to attack the works of darkness and bear fruit for God.
You will be surprised, little ones, says the Lord. You will be surprised. Do not assume there are limits to what may come. Do not think things will be easy for the people of God, because even though I hold you in My hand, you will still be shaken by the enemy, so that each of you will reveal what is truly in your heart, so that you will be spurred on to go from glory to glory, and so that the faith of many will grow.
Little ones, prepare like athletes, says the Lord. Athletes work out in the gym every day so that, if they face a situation that demands physical exertion, their bodies are ready. Athletes do not take extended breaks for vacation and rest, because they know that when they return to the playing field, they will no longer be able to play as they once did, and others will be better than them.
How much more should you train, knowing that the opposing team belongs to the enemy of souls, who wants to destroy you, who wants to steal your faith so you will never obtain the final trophy of eternal life?
Children, says the Lord, if you remain in Me, I will keep you, but I will not take you away before you show Me who you truly are, through deeds rather than words. For if I asked for your lives today, many would refuse to give them to Me.
So be prepared. Get ready, study the Scriptures, learn to stand firm, strengthen yourselves in Me, fast, and care for the poor, the widow, and the orphan. Look after others, because this too will help prepare you for what is coming.
Do not harden your hearts, says the Lord, because times of great need are coming, and I am preparing many of My children to be strong pillars for the weak in those times. The stronger ones will help the weak to endure. In this way, one Body, united in fellowship and awaiting My coming, will be able to pass through the trials ahead.
Noelia: But both the righteous and the unrighteous will be tested. The wheat is being separated from the tares, and each person will have to choose which path to take.
The world leaders are sitting down at the table to plan the next blow. One of the aims of these blows is to bring down those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, because even those leaders know that a great many Christians are weak, lukewarm, and distracted, and that as soon as things become calm, they lower their guard.
A severe blow is coming, says the Lord. The next shaking is coming, and you must be ready to stand firm: first, by raising the shield of faith and knowing that I am with you until the end of days; second, by remaining holy; third, by being in fellowship with other believers, united with the rest of the Body of Christ; fourth, by having studied, meditated on, and applied the Scriptures; fifth, by having trained your bodies through good nutrition and fasting, because this will help you if food becomes scarce; and sixth, by learning to worship and praise Me no matter what happens, because praise will be a powerful weapon in these last days.
Just as Paul and Silas began to praise Me in prison, in this time you too will have to show whether you can keep worshiping and praising Me with your whole being even when you are imprisoned, even when you are hungry, even when you are persecuted, even when you are stripped of your individual freedoms.
Seventh, you will have to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and in spiritual gifts. This will help build you up and make you firm and resilient so you can carry out the work I have prepared for you while these things happen on the earth.
Little ones, do not get distracted. I will give you all the spiritual weapons you need, because the eighth point is that you must learn to stand firm in your minds, to fight against the thoughts the enemy will try to plant there and against the satanic ideas these world leaders are trying to implant in the minds of the people. You will be swimming in the same pool as everyone else, but you must learn to remain uncontaminated.
Noelia: There will even be martyrs. The Lord wants you to know this, because many think it won’t be necessary to die for the cause of Christ in this time. But the truth is that what happened before will happen again in this time: the true children of God will suffer what others suffered before them.
We will bear the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ in our bodies, our souls, and our spirits, and the cross will be tangible in our lives. Many of you think these things happened to the apostles and disciples in the early Church but are not for this time. God wants to open your eyes today, because there are people who are prepared to be martyrs for the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days.
There is a special calling to be a martyr for the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days, and God is preparing many souls to stand firm when the moment comes to give their lives during the coming persecution.
[Matthew 10:21] And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
The persecution of Christians and the number of martyrs will increase as sin increases in the world, but the Lord will have already created and prepared these souls specifically for the time when they must fulfill this calling. This will continue until the number of martyrs is complete.
We must prepare, because persecution of Christians is already happening in some parts of the world and will gradually spread across the world, just as happened with same-sex marriage, which was once viewed as an abomination but is now normal and permitted in more and more countries.
Wickedness is increasing and love is growing cold, and even many who claim to be one of us will turn against us.
Political crises will continue. There will be political violence and violence within governments. The Lord showed me plots in various countries to violently overthrow presidents and discredit them, sparking social unrest and demonstrations.
Anxiety, sadness, depression, and other mental health problems will increase and threaten to affect many children of God as well, because the activity of the hosts of darkness is increasing, and the devil’s primary target is people’s minds. The Lord tells me that psychologists will have plenty of work in the days ahead.
Because sin is increasing in both prevalence and severity, the devil has greater access to people and can fill them with fear and terror, bringing spells and mental problems upon them, even to the point of driving them mad. And the Lord’s children who don’t close every door to the devil through holiness and fellowship with God and other believers will also be affected.
The Lord showed me that serious diseases are coming, new diseases that will affect both the body and the mind, and the death rate will rise. I saw many stillborn babies and children dying. This is because China and other nations already have plans to release more diseases, as they did with COVID-19.
But the enemy’s most important aim is to drive people mad, filling their minds with so many demons that they no longer have self-control because so many dwell within them. They will be like a house so filthy and contaminated that the enemy moves in with legions of demons. When someone reaches that point, they no longer decide for themselves, because demons control them.
The enemy will use these demonized people to oppress, intimidate, and frighten the saints so that, not understanding what is happening, they will turn away from God because they think the enemy has won.
My brothers and sisters, “stand firm” is the word for this year. You must first stand firm in your minds, because the battle is in the mind. You must sanctify your hearts and thoughts, because merely believing is not enough. You must learn to endure what is coming until your lives end and you receive the trophy of eternal life.
The greatest battles will take place in the mind, because new diseases accompanied by signs of madness will come and cause sudden, violent, and strange deaths. Your mind will be affected if you’re not mentally strong. That’s why it is important to sanctify your thought life, cleanse your heart, and learn to resist the devil in your thoughts.
These labor contractions involve not only diseases and persecution, but also all kinds of natural disasters. The magnitude of the earthquakes will surprise you.
Do not grow accustomed to anything, says God, because new things will happen, and things that have happened before will happen again in different ways.
Noelia: People’s lives will be shaken in various ways and from various directions, and we will have to face different kinds of enemies, just as the people of Israel did in ancient times. Do not grow accustomed to anything or expect any one specific thing, because God wants us to be ready at all times and in all places to stand firm through whatever comes.
New false denominations will emerge. Many Christians are tired of what goes on in most churches, and the devil will exploit this by creating new religious groups that will appear biblical and doctrinally sound, like loaves of bread that look plump and appetizing but bring death once they reach the stomach.
Those who will be deceived by these new religions are the ones who refuse to hear the truth of the Gospel or the truth about what is coming: those who want something superficial, those who are lukewarm and don’t want to be on fire for the Lord, those who are unwilling to suffer for the name of Jesus, those who want everything to be easy, and those who have one foot in the world and the other in the kingdom of God.
That’s why you must ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and know the written Word well. Then, when they try to sell you a new product, you will already be rooted and grounded in the truth of the Scriptures and will have the discernment of the Holy Spirit.
The coming movements will be very attractive, and many will say, “At last the Lord is raising up His Church. At last we see God’s power at work. At last we see signs, wonders, and miracles.” But these things will be done by the power of the devil, not by the power of God.
At the same time, the Lord will be cleansing the churches, eliminating filth, removing error, and raising up ministers who are truly anointed and care about nothing but doing God’s will—ministers who are not driven by the offerings they receive, the opportunity to travel and visit churches, or recognition; ministers who have a heart like David’s, who wanted to worship the Lord and was faithful to Him.
The baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit are essential in these days for walking in the spirit rather than the flesh, for walking in the power of God and bearing fruit. Ask God for discernment and test everything.
[1 Thessalonians 5:20-21] Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Do not dismiss the miracles and power you see manifested, but everything must be tested to distinguish what comes from God from what does not, because hidden inside that bread that looks so appealing will be a seed of poison that can kill you spiritually and physically. Hidden within the truth will be a portion of error that can contaminate you, and once you’re contaminated, it’s harder to discern and turn back.
Be careful, because ravenous wolves will spring up from beneath the earth like grass sprouting in the sun. Do not believe everything. Test everything you are told.
Fellowship and closeness with God in the secret place are the key to hearing from Him and remaining clean. This will help you recognize what is false, because only when you know what is true can you recognize what is not.
Getting to know God first will give you the discernment to recognize what doesn’t come from Him. When you know someone, you know how they speak and behave, what they like and dislike, what they want and don’t want, and what their ideals and principles are. Likewise, you must draw near to God to know Him even better and, by living with Him day and night, come to know His voice.
[John 10:27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Spending time with the Lord in the secret place and keeping the Sword of the Spirit (the written Word) sharp will help you distinguish between the religious movements that are coming.
Difficult times are coming, says the Lord, times when My people must learn to stand firm and get up each time they fall. Times of astonishment are coming, times of shaking, times when faith will be tested, times when many will have to confess that they believe in Me.
I will bring many who until now have kept Me hidden under a rug to the point where they must confess that they believe in My name, says the Lord, so that I can then acknowledge them by name before the angels of God.
Little ones, trust in Me, says the Lord. There is a reason you must go through these things. Believe in My goodness, but also believe in My justice. Believe that I am with you all the time, listening to what you say to Me even when you do not open your mouths.
When you speak in your hearts and ask Me questions, I am sending My angels to work on your behalf. But you must keep walking by faith and not by sight when you do not see things unfold as you want them to or as you think they should.
Trust in Me, says the Father. Trust that I hold you in My hand. But sometimes you will feel as if you are inside a rattle. Sometimes you will feel as if you are inside a washing machine and cannot get out because the wash cycle is not over yet. Sometimes you will feel that you cannot go on, but at that moment I will show you that with My strength you can go on, that when you are weak you are strong, and that all I asked of you was to have faith and trust in Me.
Hold fast to Me and no one else, says the Lord.
Noelia: I see people dying, and the Lord shows me that the trials will be very, very severe and will touch the most painful and difficult parts of our lives.
Renew your vows to Me, says the Lord. Believe Me again each time you must be refined through suffering.
Little ones, trust will be key to enduring the times ahead, because I will shake the world, and nation after nation will know who I am and who truly rules in heaven, on earth, and beneath the earth. I will make My name known among the nations, showing and revealing Myself even to those who are My children but do not know Me well or know only one aspect of Me.
I will reveal Myself in majesty. I will show you My power poured out over the nations, and I will certainly sustain those who continue to trust in Me even when they lose possessions or loved ones.
Trust in Me, because not everyone was created to live through this time, and a great many people will continue to die, even within the Church, simply because their time has come to an end. Their souls were not created to live in this time, and if I allowed those people to keep walking on this earth through what is coming, they would not be able to endure and might give up and abandon their faith.
Understand why things happen as they do. Understand that I am in all things and that all things work together for good for those who love Me, those who follow Me, those I have called for specific purposes. Trust in Me and let go of everything you are holding on to in this time, because you will lose whatever you cling to. I will not even allow you to cling to a post to withstand the storms if you do not take My hand, because I want you to trust in Me, and I will win your hearts through the trials you will face.
2023: a year of trials, a year to stand firm, a year of separation between those who have faith and those who lie when they say they have faith. I will refine you like gold and continue to polish you, says the Lord, because I love you so much and created you so I can express Myself fully in you.
Stand firm, little ones, and do not forget that I am with you every day, at every moment and in every tribulation. I have not left you, nor will I leave you, nor will I abandon you, but many will abandon you, many will leave you. You will be surprised, because everyone’s true face will be revealed, and many people you thought would remain beside you will not.
Be ready and in your hearts let go of everyone you are holding on to, because many hearts will grow cold in these days as survival becomes harder, tribulation increases, supplies dwindle, hunger grows, global chaos spreads, and wars increase.
You will be surprised, says the Lord, but if you wait on Me, you will be able to endure whatever comes, says the Lord, for that is what I created you for, little ones. You are My beloved remnant in these days and have everything you need to come through victorious. But if you believe the enemy, you will not be able to do it, because the choice is yours.
You must not even cling to your spiritual leaders and put your hope in them more than in Me. I have raised up leaders to help you stand firm, but do not cling to them, because even among them, many will not be able to endure what is coming.
Noelia: The Lord reveals to me that many ministers everyone thought would come through victorious will fall because they didn’t prepare themselves, because they believed the Church wouldn’t go through these trials. Some will fall because of pride, arrogance, distraction, and the pursuit of comfort. You will see the fall of many ministers who are now strong pillars helping the weak to stand firm.
That’s why you must cling to no one but the Lord Jesus Christ, the only One who remains forever, the only One who doesn’t grow tired or weak, the only One who won’t abandon you, the only One who makes no mistakes, the only One who leads you to still waters. But God will destroy many of your idols in the days ahead.
Keep praying, but prayer will have to grow more intense and become a cry from deep within us, because even the way God’s children pray will be transformed. Worship too will be transformed, and praise will be special, because there is a special anointing for praise in this time.
Little ones, says the Lord, you will be surprised not only by the difficult things that are coming, but also by the new manifestations of My Spirit and the new anointings in this time.
Noelia: Now I see pieces moving on a chessboard, and this represents geopolitical moves. Letters are sent from one nation to another, from one world leader to another, and secret pacts are made that will affect entire populations.
Pray that you may be worthy to escape all these things, says the Lord. Strengthen yourselves in Me continually in the days ahead. Protect your children, because everything evil will become more and more normal, even within religions other than the true religion of loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself.
For all those religions, everything that is wrong in My eyes will gradually become normal, says God, and your children will constantly drink from those waters as the world becomes more and more contaminated. That is why you must give them My crystal-clear waters of truth to drink and train them to distinguish truth from error, so that they can choose, knowing there are two paths and not just one.
So, little ones, have hope amid all this, says God. Have hope, because I will also surprise you with blessings you did not expect, and I will give you what you need to stand firm and finish your races.
I will use methods you never imagined to turn hearts back to Me. And I will give those who remain close to Me a supernatural strength they have never known before, because otherwise they will not be able to endure the coming tribulation.
Noelia: Thank You for this word, Lord. Amen.
