Translation from Spanish
Seek Me, little one, says the Lord, seek Me in intimacy. Close the doors of your room. If you need to, turn off the light to find Me in the stillness, to understand what I want to tell you, to hear what I want to say to you in the silence of the night.
Turn off the outside voices that distract you, little one. Close the blinds to the world and focus on Me, says the Lord, because hard times are coming for the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will process you, says the Lord. I am cleansing you, I am refining you as silver is refined, I am making you shine like the purest gold, but for that I am shaking the world. I am removing everything that shouldn’t be there, to bring new things.
Many of you are asking in your hearts, “Where is the world headed?” You feel uncertainty, you’re afraid of what’s coming, and you say, “If this pandemic shook us so much, what will it be like when what’s next arrives?”
Calm down, little ones, calm down, says the Lord. Learn to be at peace in the boat, because I am there with you, calming the storm. And when you feel that everything is shaking around you, you, those who are firm, standing on the rock, will know how to endure, because you’ll be holding My hand.
Noelia: The Holy Spirit shows me that there are many hearts that are crying. There are many hearts that need their tears dried, tears running down their cheeks because they’ve suffered the loss of loved ones, hearts broken in half because of betrayals and pain.
Here I am, says the Lord. I promised that I would be with you until the end of the days, until the end of the world, and here I am, because I am faithful to My Word.
Noelia: How many need that healing from the Lord? How many need the Lord to dry their tears? How many need the Lord to gently touch their cheek? How many need a pat of encouragement on the back, telling them to keep going, that He is with you? Then receive with faith and lift up your holy hands, praising the Lord.
I see women suffering and crying because of their children, because they’re in the world, because they’re sick, because they’re bound, because they’re blind.
They’re not your children, says the Lord. They’re Mine. Surrender them from your heart. Give them to Me, because you can do nothing, but for Me nothing is impossible. I am there, dealing with them, and I am drying your tears.
Give your children to Me in your heart so that I can deal with them. Don’t be afraid to give them to Me, because I am good, I am forgiving, I am the rescuer of lost souls. I take care of your children better than you do. I know more about what’s happening in their hearts than you do.
My daughter, why are you afraid of what will happen to them? Each soul must make its own decision, says the Lord. Focus on what’s Mine, and I will take care of what’s yours.
Noelia: The Lord shows me that there are men who are worried about work, about money, about providing for their homes.
Why are you afraid of not having enough to eat?, says the Lord. Why are you afraid of not having enough to wear? Why are you afraid? Don’t I provide for the birds that don’t work, that don’t sow? How much more will I provide for you?
Renounce that fear, says the Lord, because when you’re afraid of not being able to provide for your homes, it’s because you’re trusting in yourselves instead of trusting in Me, that I will provide for your needs, that I know what you lack.
Men, says the Lord, that bread you need, ask for it in the intimacy of your room, on your knees. But first I want your heart, says the Lord. Give Me your heart and I will feed your loved ones. Focus on Me, on My things, on My kingdom, on My righteousness, and I will take care of what’s yours.
My children are distracted, says the Lord. They are worried, they are afraid. They do not trust in Me, they do not trust in My provision, they do not trust in My power, they do not trust in My fatherhood, they do not trust that I am God. Instead, they trust in themselves, they trust in their own strength, they trust in their intelligence, they trust in their own efforts, but not in Me. They do not understand that the only thing they need to do is trust in Me and set their eyes on heavenly things.
[Matthew 6:33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
They are working backwards, says the Lord. They seek all other things first instead of My kingdom and My righteousness. They look back instead of putting their hands to the harvest, without understanding that I feed My workers, without understanding that I care for My soldiers, that I cover them, that I shelter them, that I clothe them, that I give them the armor they need.
Change the way you think, because you are worrying about the last things instead of the first things.
My children are distracted, says the Lord. There are different kinds of distractions. Some have their eyes on work. They are blinded by work and think about it all day long. Others have their eyes on their children. Some are distracted and obsessed with finding a partner. Others are worried about daily chores, like Martha.
There are young people who are worried and anxious about their studies, thinking about their future, without focusing their gaze on the kingdom of God first and without realizing that they are unfocused for when the next shaking comes.
Noelia: On February 2nd, the Lord gave me a short word that I titled “Leave Distractions Behind and Dedicate Yourselves to the Work of the Kingdom,” and it says the following:
My little ones, understand that this is not a time to be distracted. The enemy of souls is not distracted, but aims at his target and shoots with extreme focus. Do you know what you need to do? Are you willing to do it? I am calling many to serve Me, but not all have their eyes on Me, but on the pleasures of the world. Leave behind distractions and time-wasters, and dedicate yourselves fervently to the work of the kingdom.
My own must be like bees, who watch over what is theirs and never stop working at their task. Understand that the time is short. Soon the events prophesied for this time will be unleashed, and many will be left with their mouths open, astonished, because they did not expect it, and what is coming will come upon them like a tsunami that gives no time to escape. Even though they were warned, they did not prepare, nor were they watchful, nor did they do what I called them to do.
Wake up, little ones. Take your eyes off the things the world offers you and put your hands to the harvest. I, your eternal Father, will take care of the rest.
After sharing that word, the Holy Spirit kept speaking to me about distractions and about how His people are not prepared. More things are coming to the world, and the people of the Lord are not focused. We have our eyes on the things of the world. Anything that passes before our eyes distracts us.
The Holy Spirit kept urging me these days to speak about this and to exhort the people of the Lord about what is happening in the church of God.
The COVID-19 pandemic took many by surprise, even after having read the Word, where the Lord had already told us that in these times there would be plagues, earthquakes, wars, calamities, and disasters all over the world; even after having heard several prophets around the world whom the Lord placed strategically to keep warning the people of God so that they would react.
Even so, many did not listen and did not prepare. And even after this pandemic, many do not react, and when the pressure eases a little, they put their eyes back on the distractions of the world.
Children, do not be distracted, says the Lord. More disasters are coming, more calamities are coming, more plagues are coming, and they will be greater than this plague that is now upon the world.
Noelia: This is just a small contraction in the birth pains that we will suffer, those of us who remain on the earth, and the church keeps its eyes closed. Even as they watch their relatives die, even as they see diseases multiplying and worsening, the church doesn’t react and stays distracted by anything that catches its attention.
Time and again I hear the Holy Spirit saying: “Don’t get distracted. Focus on Me. Don’t put your focus on problems and don’t concentrate on tragedies; focus on Me.”
Because the Heavenly Father is good, merciful, kind, and cares for His children, He keeps warning us over and over that more things are coming.
Beloved people of the Lord Jesus Christ, react. I’m not saying that we should stop working. I’m not saying that we should stop doing the things we need to do every day to live in this world. But we live in this world, and we are not of this world. We are in this world, but we don’t belong to this world.
The Holy Spirit keeps repeating to me: “Don’t get distracted. Don’t get distracted. Focus. Focus. Hold on tight to your seat, because I’m going to shake the plane.”
But the children of God keep getting distracted by anything, worried about the chores of life, concerned about their careers and families, more worried about their future than about the souls of the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding that maybe the future won’t be as we think, without understanding that we need to surrender our future to the Lord Jesus, just as He surrendered Himself for us on the cross.
If the Lord Jesus didn’t do what He wanted, but what the Lord commanded Him to do to save us, how much more should we give up our dreams to fulfill His?
Some of you are focused on finding a partner, thinking all the time about how you can get married, where the person the Lord has prepared for you will be, when the Lord is calling us first to focus on His kingdom and His righteousness, and everything else He’ll add in His perfect timing.
The Holy Spirit of God calls us to focus. The Bible says:
[2 Timothy 2:4-6] No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
How many of you would rather please the One who enlisted you as soldiers instead of getting entangled in the affairs of life? How many of you want to focus so you can finish this race?
Whoever runs a race can’t run while looking all around, because he loses sight of the finish line. In the same way, we can’t chase after our prize while getting distracted by anything that pops up along the way. We need to keep our eyes forward.
Jesus said: “Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” But many of God’s children in this time are not about the Father’s business; they’re about the devil’s business and the business of the world. They’re not just distracted, but they’re working for the enemy.
That’s why today the Holy Spirit warns God’s people, so we’ll refocus on Him and on what He expects from us. How many of you know what the purpose of your life is?
That’s why the Lord said in the short word He gave me on February 2: “Do you know what you have to do? Are you willing to do it? I’m calling many to serve Me, but not all have their eyes on Me, but on the pleasures of the world.”
But many of you still spend much of the day watching television and then say you don’t have time to pray, to talk with God, and to study His Word, and your swords are dull. You grow cold, you become careless, you lose your way, and it gets harder for you to understand what the Holy Spirit wants to say to you. But even so, you keep watching TV all day.
In this time, everyone who doesn’t focus on the kingdom of God and doesn’t fulfill His righteousness will fall, because the world will be shaken more and more, and whoever isn’t standing firmly on the rock and being watchful won’t be able to withstand the contractions that will come upon the world.
I’m not saying this because I enjoy it, but because the Holy Spirit is prompting me to speak, so that everyone is warned and no one can say, “The Lord didn’t warn me. The Lord didn’t tell me this was going to happen. Why is this happening? Why can’t I resist? Why do I have no strength? Why is my house falling?” It’s because it’s built on sand.
Just like a driver who risks crashing and even losing his life if he gets distracted while driving, everyone steering their own life has to keep their eyes fixed straight ahead, on where they want to go, without turning to the left or the right.
You’re going to have to sharpen your focus. You’re going to have to fix your gaze much more than before. You’re going to have to reject every distraction the enemy tries to put in your life. You’re going to have to stand firm and say no to anything that takes your focus off the things of the kingdom of God, because anyone who isn’t standing firm and staying alert won’t be able to withstand the shaking that’s coming.
In this first shaking, which is the pandemic, many have already fallen. Many thought they were doing well spiritually, thought they were standing firm, but the situation exposed their true spiritual condition and that of their homes.
Some took this situation as an opportunity. They were wise and made things right with the Lord. They realized that how good they thought they were before wasn’t enough, and they began to strengthen their spirits, to defend themselves, to stay alert, and to live a Christian life on fire, not lukewarm or cold toward God.
But others fell, blaming Me for their spiritual lukewarmness, says the Lord, and they didn’t know how to take advantage of the opportunity I gave them to see the state they were in before this plague came with all its consequences in daily life.
In the same way, little ones, do you know why I’m calling you to concentrate twice as much as before? Because what’s coming will be worse, and many will be left speechless because they won’t see it coming.
The magnitude of what’s coming to the earth is much greater than man imagines—even My children, says the Lord. That’s why I speak to you today: to alert you, to warn you to prepare, to warn you that many say they’re in Me, but they’re not where they should be. You need to understand that there’s still a little time left to get warmer in Me.
Turn up the heat in the pot, because the enemy will try to freeze you at all costs with a cold that chills, with a cold that petrifies even the tenderest heart, says the Lord. The enemy is releasing a special cold over the whole world, and his main target is the church.
And many who call themselves Christians, when these things happen and they want to react, it’ll already be too late, because they won’t have prepared. They’ll be out of place, like someone who’s sleeping and suddenly wakes up startled by something and doesn’t know how to react, doesn’t know where to run, doesn’t even understand what’s happening.
That’s what it’s like for someone who’s suddenly awakened from a deep sleep.
Sadly, that’s what’s going to happen to many who say they’re Mine but are only on the surface of the waters, not in the depths of My Spirit, says the Lord. I’m calling many to pray at dawn and they don’t get up, because they’d rather sleep than respond to My call. They’d rather dream about what they’d like to have instead of making sacrifices for Me.
I’m warning you again and again, says the Lord. I have to repeat Myself until My children hear what I’m saying: focus on Me. Remove every distraction from your life and put Me first. Raise up that altar to the King first.
Noelia: There are many among the Lord’s people who get distracted by friendships, by family gatherings, by outings. There are women who love to go shopping and spend hours walking around, looking at what’s out on the street. There are men who spend hours talking with others about worldly, empty things. There are mothers and fathers who are unfocused, not paying attention to what’s happening with their children at home, not keeping watch over their own. There are mothers who don’t intercede for their families, worried and busy with other things, anything but the things of God.
The prince of this world is putting all kinds of distractions in front of My people, says the Lord, and they don’t realize they’re following the little piece of meat like a dog that’s led wherever someone wants by showing it a piece of meat.
This is how the enemy is leading them, says God, showing each of you what you want, and so he leads you where he wants you to go, not where I want you to go. And you don’t realize that you’re being tempted and that, step by step, you’re getting deeper and deeper into distractions, wasting time on things that bear no fruit, not preparing yourselves, not building yourselves up, not keeping your sword sharp.
There’s no contact with the Holy Spirit. There’s no praise to God. There are men who are wasting hours looking at car models, seeing what they have and what they don’t, hours that could be dedicated to the kingdom of God.
Little ones, understand Me, says the Lord. Understand that many will be awakened like someone who’s suddenly woken from sleep and doesn’t know how to react because they’re still half asleep, like when someone is resting peacefully in bed and suddenly there’s an earthquake: that person jumps up startled, but is still dazed, not knowing how to react, where to go, or what to do.
Many will be awakened like this by the things that are coming upon the world, says the Lord, because they’ll be sleeping instead of keeping watch in Me. They won’t have their lamps full of oil. They’ll be empty and will have nothing to light the fire with. And when they finally realize it, there won’t be any time left to prepare. It will catch them by surprise. Understand and receive this word I’m telling you.
Noelia: God is also telling me that He’s calling many to work for Him, but they’re so distracted they don’t even understand what God is calling them to, what their purpose is, what task He wants them to do.
[Matthew 9:37] Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few
At this time, a large part of the Lord’s people don’t even know what they’re supposed to do for the kingdom of God.
Many spend time with their brothers and sisters or gather somewhere, but they don’t evangelize anyone. They don’t share the Lord’s grace with anyone. They don’t scatter the seed. They only focus on their personal affairs or on things in their congregation, without seeing that the fields need to be sown and without understanding that this time of shaking is one of the best moments to sow the seed of the kingdom of God, to spread the Word, to speak to the needy, to the captive, to the broken, to the lonely, to the one who thirsts for eternal waters.
The Lord’s church is not only distracted, but also selfish, and God is calling His children to serve Him and put their hands to the harvest.
I’m seeing by revelation that this word is finally sinking into the minds of some of you. Some are realizing that, yes, they were distracted with meaningless things, wasting time.
The Word of the Lord says, “Redeem the time, because the days are evil,” but many stay calm or fall asleep, saying, “When is the Lord coming? The Lord isn’t coming. The Lord says He’s coming, but He’s not coming,” and they become complacent, not understanding that first the church will go through a process of refinement. First, we’ll be shaken and awakened, and we’ll be cleansed. The Lord will stir up our insides so we realize the filth inside us and that it shouldn’t be there anymore.
I hear the word “comfort.” Many are comfortable. They don’t want to go through the process of being refined. They don’t want the Lord’s finger to touch their hearts and bring to light what shouldn’t be there. They don’t want to work for God. They’d rather stay comfortable, busy with their own personal affairs.
Repent! Turn to the Lord.
The world will be shaken. Things won’t be the same anymore. The world will change. And throughout that process, throughout that journey, those who don’t want to go after the kingdom of God 100% will be left behind like laundry scattered on the floor.
It’s sad, but it’s real, and we saw it during this pandemic. As things intensify and get sharper, this will become even more evident, and everyone who doesn’t want to train for the race will be left behind. Everyone who doesn’t want to understand that they have to be watchful, the thief will come in, will steal, will destroy, and will kill. We have to decide to focus on the goal and finish this race.
Don’t let the enemy steal your crowns, says the Lord. Be alert, because the thief is after the crowns.
Noelia: The Lord shows me that many had spiritual wives, but right now they’re being cut off in the name of Jesus. Some of you are anxious about things that have been done to you, about offenses others have committed against you.
Give that person to Me, says the Lord, because I’ll take care of it, and focus on My kingdom. Don’t think I’m unaware of the iniquity the wicked are committing. Don’t think I’m unaware and can’t see the arrows the enemy is sending you. But leave it to Me, for I’ll take care of it, and you take care of what’s Mine, says the Lord.
Noelia: In those cases, the enemy clings to those things in our hearts to distract us and make us worry more about what that person did to us, thinking about that situation all day instead of focusing on what we need to do for God. This is another of the enemy’s tactics right now to distract God’s children.
So, everyone who’s in that situation, letting yourselves be distracted, repent for having let yourselves be distracted by that issue or anything else, and redirect your gaze to the Lord, to His things and to His righteousness, and He’ll take care of everything. The Lord knows what’s in our hearts and He cares about it.
The Holy Spirit shows me that there are mothers who have little babies and are worried about them, because of what’s coming to the world, and they think, “What will I do with my baby when all these terrible things come to the world? What will happen to my baby? I won’t be able to take care of him. I won’t be able to protect him.”
Give that baby to Me, says God. All souls are Mine, they belong to Me, and I know what I have to do with them. Just fulfill your duties as a mother the best you can, not as you see fit, but according to the Scriptures, and I’ll take care of your children.
Noelia: There’s already a design established by God. Your children are part of that design and He knows very well what He has to do with them. He knows perfectly what purpose every living being that walks the earth has, and your child is no less.
Beloved brothers and sisters, I invite you to examine your lives from now on and start setting aside those things that are distracting you and taking your focus away from the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and to serve the Lord in the way He expects from you.
Each of you needs to ask the Holy Spirit what things you need to let go of in your life, what things you need to start doing so that the fire that wants to die out will be rekindled, what you need to do to stay alert, what will help you focus more on Jesus Christ.
Some of you are distracted by people around you, and you know those people are a distraction in your lives, but you do nothing about it. This is a word for you to wake up and make decisions.
There are sacrifices we have to make to please God, to focus on Him, and to prepare ourselves for what’s coming. We’ll have to make firm decisions, decisions that will change the course of our lives, to focus 100% on the kingdom of God and to be able to withstand everything that’s on the way.
Do you think everything will go back to normal after the pandemic? Then you need to read the Word of God again. You need to read Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, and Revelation again to understand that the beginning of sorrows is just beginning.
Get ready. Don’t be foolish, don’t pretend to be deaf, don’t be lukewarm, and understand that this is only a short break before what’s next. In this time, God is allowing us to prepare for what’s coming, because when it gets here, it’ll be much harder to get ready than it is now, when we have the chance and the resources to prepare not only spiritually, but also materially.
Let’s be wise and hardworking like bees. Let’s not waste time, and let’s keep our eyes fixed on Him.
