Translation from Spanish
[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Blessings, brothers and sisters. These days the Holy Spirit has been leading me to speak about the importance of discerning what season of life we are in. He told me that many of God’s children don’t recognize the season they are going through and are not acting accordingly so the Lord’s purposes can be fulfilled in their lives.
The Spirit showed me people who were in a winter season of their lives but behaved as if it were summer. The problem is that, for example, if you wear summer clothes in winter, you will be cold and won’t enjoy that season. You will suffer the consequences of failing to adapt to the season you are going through in your life.
The Bible says that we must discern the times, and that the tribe of Issachar had understanding of the times. Yet many don’t know how to discern the times: not only the prophetic times the Church and the world are going through, but also the seasons of their own lives.
[1 Chronicles 12:32] And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
What season are you in? What season is your family in? What season is your congregation in? What season is your city, your country, or the world in?
We need to start with ourselves, so we won’t be like those Jesus tells:
[Luke 12:56] Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Today the Lord calls you to pay attention and understand the season you are in. Then you can make the most of it and cooperate with what He wants to do in your life, whether it’s a time to plant or a time to harvest, a time to work or a time to rest, a time to learn or a time to teach.
You may be in a season of spiritual wilderness. But if you don’t understand why the Lord has you in that wilderness, not only will your soul be unable to rest as you go through it, but you will also fail to cooperate with God’s purposes for your life in that season.
Are you in a season of staying still or moving? Are you in a season of serving or being served? Are you in a season of ministering or being ministered to? Are you in a season of receiving or giving?
What is happening in your life in this season? Is rain falling on your spiritual soil, or is it snowing? Is the sun finally coming out? Are you in a season of growing and expanding your territory, or of standing firm and protecting yourself? Is it a time to be patient, or to receive what you have been waiting so long for?
Little ones, says the Lord, recognize what season of life you are in, because I have appointed a time for everything. There is a time for sowing, but first there is a time to prepare the soil, plow and fertilize it, and also a time to clear it so the seeds can be planted.
Noelia: Just as there is a time for everything in farming, and seeds cannot be sown until the soil is prepared, our hearts must first be prepared so that God can plant what He wants in them and that seed can grow and bear fruit in its time.
Some of you want to rush ahead of what God has planned for you in this season: you want to run instead of taking the time to walk, enjoy the scenery, and learn. Some want to be teachers when they are still students. Some want to be ministers when they still need to act as disciples.
Some are ministering, but the Lord is calling them to stop, rest, heal, and recover. Some are asking for rain from heaven, but it’s not yet time.
Today the Lord tells you to be patient and wait for each appointed period in your life to run its course.
Several problems arise when you don’t discern what season of life you are in or what kind of landscape surrounds you. Not only may the Lord’s purposes for that season of your life go unfulfilled, but doors may also open to sins such as anxiety.
The Lord shows me that many of you are in a hurry and want to skip seasons to make God’s appointed times come sooner. In doing so, you open the door for anxiety and frustration to enter your lives and oppress you, until you begin to think that what you long for will never happen.
But it’s not that spiritual spring or summer will never come; it’s not that your season of ministering will never arrive. In this season, you are being prepared for ministry.
The enemy will take advantage of this to make you believe that God has no other seasons for you. The problem is that we want to rush ahead of the appointed times, when we need to be patient and act in keeping with the landscape we are walking through.
The Lord shows me now that many of you are walking on a rocky path where you feel your feet bleeding. Some are passing through a dark, cloudy landscape where the trees seem petrified and everything looks dry and lifeless. You feel that dryness in your spirit; you feel that the greenery has vanished from your lives, and you don’t see the sun come out.
What is happening is that the Lord is breaking your soul so that when the sun comes out and spiritual spring finally arrives in your life, you can enjoy it and live in keeping with the blessings the Lord has prepared for you.
The Lord reveals to me that others among you dress and behave as if it were time for you to find a partner, giving in to the longings of your hearts, but the time for marriage has not yet come.
When someone is about to enter a special season of life, their spirit, soul, and body are prepared. The Lord shows me that when a woman is about to marry, she is already dressed as a bride in the spirit. Likewise, when a woman is about to become pregnant, she is already prepared in the spirit for childbirth in a way she was not before.
Before something takes place physically in our lives, the Lord first prepares us for it in the spirit. But many don’t recognize the season they are in and risk rushing into marriage before their time of singleness is complete—the time of preparation needed to be ready to share life and become one with another person.
Little ones, says the Lord, open your eyes and learn to recognize the season you are in.
Noelia: Some women may sense that a baby will soon come into their lives and that they are being prepared for the Lord to place a seed of life in their bodies. Even before they become pregnant, they begin to behave as if they already were, because they recognize that this season is near. Before that seed is fertilized in their wombs, they are prepared not only in spirit, but also in body and soul.
Likewise, everyone must recognize what they are being prepared for in this season, says the Lord.
Some of you are in a time of rest, a season of spiritual recovery that is often accompanied by physical recovery. But not everyone recognizes this season. They keep going like a truck that never stops, even though sometimes the engine needs to be turned off.
Noelia: The Lord tells me that we must listen to the warnings of the Holy Spirit, who tells us when it’s time to stop. The fact that until recently you were like a car moving at high speed without trouble doesn’t mean you should behave the same way in this season.
Even cars have times when they go faster and times when they go slower. Sometimes they are used for a leisurely drive, and sometimes to reach a destination as quickly as possible. Sometimes they simply remain parked in the garage, and sometimes they must be taken to the repair shop. If you fail to recognize that your car has a problem and keep driving it anyway, the engine can burn out. And the same is true of us.
Little ones, says the Lord, understand that there is a time to keep going and a time to stop. There is a time to walk and a time to run. There is a time to listen and a time to be heard.
Noelia: Many of you are moving too fast in this season of your lives and can’t see that there is a wall just ahead, which you’re about to hit if you don’t brake. It’s not that the Lord is failing to tell you to press the brake pedal. You are the ones who refuse to do it.
This happens for different reasons. Some are simply stubborn. Some think that stopping makes them worthless. Some listen to the devil’s advice rather than the Holy Spirit’s. Some follow other people’s instructions rather than the Lord’s.
What season of life are you in? Do you know the spiritual landscape where the Lord has placed you in this season? Do you know what purposes God wants to fulfill in your life through what you are going through in this spiritual season? Have you asked yourself how you should behave in the time you have been given?
Why isn’t everyone around you going through the same thing you are? How is it that your coworkers are working at full speed and don’t get tired, but you do? Why is it that you had so much energy for ministry a couple of years ago but feel tired and dazed today? Have you ever wondered why you used to enjoy being surrounded by so many people but now need to be alone?
Recognize that there is a time for everything, and behave in keeping with the season you are in, says the Lord.
Noelia: The Lord shows me that the problem is not only that you fail to recognize the season you are in. You may also minister to others without recognizing the season they are in, and end up giving them bad advice.
If you are in a season when the Lord is teaching you about His love, you assume that He is doing the same with someone else. If you are in a season when the Lord is revealing Himself to you as Father, you end up giving the same counsel to the people you minister to, without recognizing that God could be revealing Himself to others as Husband rather than as Father in this season.
If you minister to others, it’s important first to know what season you yourself are in, and then to learn to discern what season the people you minister to are in.
Some of you feel sad and heavyhearted in this season. The book of Ecclesiastes says that there is a time to weep. But even when you know that the time has come to shed the tears that have remained hidden for so long, you hold them back because society has taught you to suppress them, or because that’s what your pastors have counseled you to do.
We must recognize when those tears come from God, who wants to cleanse you spiritually through weeping, and when they come from the enemy, who wants to plunge you into depression, constant sadness, and sinful mourning. That’s why it’s important to discern what is happening, where the desire to cry comes from, and why you want to be alone, and simply let those memories of the past rise to the surface and flow out with your tears.
Perhaps this is a time of healing for you, and you will feel knots coming undone inside you. Perhaps you haven’t understood why you keep remembering things that happened to you long ago and that you thought you had already overcome. Perhaps you have childhood traumas that you never took time to heal from or let go of, like butterflies released from a net.
There are, however, times of healing, times when you must let yourself be healed and not hinder what God wants to do. Let those tears flow. Because you didn’t close those chapters at the right time, they crystallized in your soul, forming stones that keep you from moving forward.
If the Lord wants to touch the place that hurts you most, let Him work in you. Entrust yourself to Him as you would to a doctor for surgery, knowing it may hurt but also knowing that the doctor knows what he is doing and that the result of the operation will be for your good.
I am calling many of you into a season of healing, but you are resisting Me, says the Lord.
Little ones, place yourselves in the hands of the perfect Physician. Human physicians can sometimes make mistakes: cutting where they shouldn’t, opening up areas they shouldn’t, administering the wrong medicine, or failing to make an accurate diagnosis. But I made you with My own hand, and I know what is happening to you. I know what problem is affecting you. I know where I need to operate, and I will not make a mistake, because I am the perfect Physician.
Noelia: Now I see barriers breaking down that had prevented some of you from being healed. The enemy had filled you with fear so you wouldn’t let the perfect Physician touch you.
As I prophesied in recent days, some countries are going through a winter season, but this winter won’t last forever. The same is true in our lives, but some who are going through a winter in their lives believe the sun will never come out.
Those of you who are in a winter season, learn not to let hope die, says the Lord. Learn to cultivate hope while you are in winter. Do not resist when I am growing something within you, when I want to give you a new spiritual baby.
Noelia: The Lord shows me that some abort God’s plans for their lives. They resist and don’t accept the Lord’s will, and it’s as if they were aborting the seed He planted, which was developing within them.
Do not abort My plans for your lives, says the Lord. Do not resist, because I know the plans I have for you, plans for your well-being and not for harm. Trust in Me, because I want to prosper you. But it is in My time, not yours.
Open your eyes and observe what is happening around you so you can recognize what season you are in. If you go out to teach while you are still in a season of learning and being discipled, you will make mistakes, like a doctor who starts working in a hospital before finishing university and is not yet qualified to practice.
Noelia: Many of you behave as if you’ve already finished school, when in fact you are skipping stages. You will make mistakes by rushing ahead of a time that has not yet come.
“How do I know what season I am in?” your hearts are asking now. Observe what is happening around you: what is or is not taking place in your life, what doors are opening or closing for you, and how the people around you behave.
The Lord tells me that if you are in a stage when He sends you to perform a task, those around you will recognize that anointing in you and respond to that calling. Sometimes even they can recognize what season you are in, but you can’t.
So pay attention not only to the environments you move through, but also to how the people you interact with in this season respond. Sometimes the Lord will speak to you through them, whether they are believers or not, and they will give you clues and signs to help you recognize what season you are in.
For example, if this is a time to minister healing to others, people asking for help in that area will naturally come to you. But if you are in a season of being healed, this may not happen as regularly as it did when you ministered healing before. Or perhaps the Lord will send people into your life to minister the healing you need in this season.
If you are in a season of expansion, you will see paths opening for you, new opportunities coming into your life, and the things you are doing beginning to grow, like a crop that develops and starts bearing fruit. If you are in a season of expansion, you will feel that you have much to give.
You need to recognize what is happening around you and pay attention to the responses and the words of others: what they ask of you, what they advise you to do, or the Bible verses the Lord sends you through them.
Another way to recognize what season you are in is through dreams. Some of you dream that you are in school and learning. This means the Lord is revealing that you are in a season of learning and must behave like students, not teachers.
Some of you dream of winter scenes: it’s cold and snowing, and in those dreams you wear warm clothes to protect yourselves from the cold. The Lord is telling you that you are going through a cold season, but He is with you, and this season will not last forever.
Some dream that they are feeding people. This usually means that the Lord is calling them to feed others spiritually.
Some dream of sowing seeds or seeing wheat fields, which means that the Lord is calling them to sow the Word.
Others dream of trees full of fruit and pick the fruit in their dreams. This means that a season of gathering the fruit of what they have sown is approaching.
Many dream that they are being healed. Many dream about things that happened long ago and still hurt their souls. The Lord is telling them, “A season of healing is coming for you.”
Others dream that they go to the bathroom and either take a shower or expel things from their bodies. The Lord is telling them, “I will cleanse you. I will deliver you. Act in keeping with this season of your life.”
Some dream that they are lying in their beds. They dream of beds and pillows, or of the number seven, which sometimes represents rest. The Lord is showing them that it’s not a time to be so active in some areas, but a time to rest and recover.
Some of you dream that you look out of windows and see tornadoes, hurricanes, or storms approaching. Some dream that an earthquake strikes where they are standing. Others see lightning striking, snowstorms, or hailstorms. The Lord is telling you that perhaps a season of tribulation is coming for you, your loved ones, or your work. But along with that revelation, God will show you how He expects you to respond, or perhaps give you a way to stand firm and come through victorious.
So pay attention to your dreams, because God will show you what season you are in. Perhaps you are in a season of spiritual warfare, or the Lord is training you as a spiritual warrior.
If you see yourself surrounded by many people and speaking to a crowd in your dreams, it’s because the Lord is telling you, “Prepare yourself, because a time is coming to leave your cave and connect with people for My specific purposes.”
There are so many things God may be showing you in dreams, and sometimes you are the one who fails to pay attention to what He wants to say, not only about what is happening now but also about what is coming, so that you can prepare.
Another way to recognize what season you are in is through a prophetic word. Various brothers and sisters will come and speak to you about the season you are in, and by then the Spirit will already have prepared your spirit so that their words will confirm what you’ve already been sensing from God.
There are various ways to recognize what season you are in, but we don’t always give them the attention or importance they deserve, because in spiritual matters we usually don’t act as we do in everyday life.
If the weather forecast says a storm is coming, we prepare. We close the windows, set out candles in case the power goes out, put rags under the door to keep water from entering the house, and put the car under cover in case it hails.
Sometimes the Lord tells us that a storm is coming into our lives, but we don’t prepare. Then, when we suffer the consequences, we ask Him, “Why didn’t You take care of me? Why didn’t You protect me? Why didn’t You warn me?” But the fault is ours, not His. We are the ones who failed to respond to God’s warnings.
So, as the Lord Jesus said in the Gospel of Luke, let’s not be hypocrites, and let’s recognize the times we are going through. In these last days we will need to sharpen our discernment in this area, both by discerning through the Spirit and by asking the Lord to reveal what season we are in.
The Lord tells me that discernment will be an essential tool for surviving the coming persecution of God’s people, as well as natural disasters, wars, and everything else the Bible prophesies for the end times. We will need discernment not only to distinguish truth from error, sheep from goats, and wolves from true shepherds, but also to discern the times we are going through.
Wake up and recognize what season you are in and what season the world is in, so you can adjust and walk accordingly, says the Lord. Many of you are hearing the prophetic warnings, but you are not preparing.
Noelia: We prophets are announcing what is coming, just as meteorologists announce an approaching hurricane so people can prepare. But many don’t respond. And when they suffer the consequences of what is coming, it won’t be because the Lord failed to warn them, but because they failed to respond in time, like a sluggard who lay down to sleep.
Do not be like a bear that goes to sleep when it’s not time to hibernate, says the Lord.
Do you know what season you are in? Many of you are speaking when it is not time to speak. You are opening your mouths and sharing things you should not share in this season.
Noelia: Perhaps the Lord is revealing many things to you in this season, but that doesn’t mean it’s a time to speak. Receiving revelation doesn’t mean you must share it immediately. You could be in a time of receiving what you will need to share later.
One of the most common mistakes among the Lord’s people is failing to let themselves be led by the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the Lord’s sheep hear His voice and follow Him, and that the children of God are those who are led by the Spirit of God. Yet today most of His sheep listen to every voice except the Lord’s, and that’s why they can lose their way and make mistakes.
The Holy Spirit has told many of you that this is not a time to minister and that you need to leave the ministry where you have served for many years. But you are not listening, and you are like a car whose engine is about to burn out. Many of you are acting like you did in past seasons instead of acting like you should in the season you are in now.
Align yourselves with Me and follow My timing, not your own, says the Lord.
Noelia: Many of you are afraid to end chapters that are already closing because you feel guilty. The enemy whispers in your ear, “If you stop doing what you’ve been doing for so long, it means you no longer care about souls; it means you don’t want to work for God.” Yet it’s the Lord who is asking you to stop what you’ve been doing.
Some of you know it’s time to leave that job. You know that if you don’t, sickness will come upon your bodies. You know that if you don’t, you will suffer. You know that if you don’t, nothing new will happen in your lives, because you haven’t yet let go of the old.
As I’ve said on other occasions, before bringing new furniture into a house and redecorating it, you must remove the old furniture and clean the house. Yet you’re asking God for a new season and new things in your lives, while failing to heed His voice. You’re not removing the old things. You’re not ending chapters that have already closed. You’re not taking out that old furniture or preparing for the new things God wants to establish in you. That’s why there is no room for what the Lord wants to give you.
Do not be afraid, says the Lord, because if I am asking you to leave, it is because I have something else prepared for you. Do not be afraid, because if I am asking you to end this, it is because I want to take you to a new spiritual level.
Do not be afraid to close that door, says God. I certainly opened it once, but its time has now come to an end. Do not be afraid, because if you don’t close it, you may find yourself in a dead-end alley, spiritually stagnant and unable to move forward. Then you will have to turn back. Eventually you will have no choice but to retrace your steps, leave that alley, and return to the path I have laid out for you.
Noelia: The Lord tells me that sometimes we must change our behavior according to the season we are going through, because when paths are closed, there is no choice but to try another approach.
Some of you have been noticing that the way you’re acting in this season is not working. It’s not helping you grow, move forward, heal, or bear fruit. A time will come when you have no choice but to change your approach and act differently, leaving those closed paths and taking other paths that are open.
Do not run if I am asking you to walk, says the Lord, because if you have not yet trained enough for a long run, you will fall along the way or injure your legs. By the time a marathon runner is able to run a marathon, they will have trained for a long time, and their legs will be able to endure that long journey. But if someone tries to run a marathon without preparing, they will suffer the consequences.
Noelia: Many of God’s children want to run a spiritual marathon without being ready, and their legs grow weary. Stress enters their lives, they become exhausted, and all they want is to stop. They turn back broken, frustrated, hopeless, and so hinder the spiritual progress God wants to bring about in their lives.
Do not rush, says the Lord, because I am not asking you to run, but to walk calmly, holding My hand, until I show you the pace you should keep.
Noelia: Father, I ask You to impart discernment to everyone listening to this message, so each one can discern what season they are in. I ask You to give them the tools they need in this time and show them if they are using tools that may have served them at another time but don’t serve them now.
The Lord reveals to me that He gives specific tools for each season you go through. For instance, when a sower prepares the soil, he needs certain tools and machines that are of no use for harvesting. Likewise, the tools used for harvesting are of no use for preparing the soil.
Some of you are using the same tools I gave you for past seasons, says the Lord, while the tools I have given you for this season lie unused. You are not using them, and so you see no progress in the present season.
Noelia: You need to ask the Lord, “Lord, what tools have You given me for this special time? How should I use them so they benefit me and those around me? Am I still using tools from another season? Help me recognize them.” God will answer you, but He wants to see you take action.
God is calling some people to solitude in this season: not to gather with too many people or frequent crowded places. There are seasons of your life when God calls you into a wilderness, a time of solitude, because He wants to speak to you in a special way.
God calls you to go up the mountain and be alone so He can speak with you face to face. But sometimes you think being alone is wrong, and others make you think so too. Yet if you don’t listen to God, you are sinning.
The Lord tells you, “My son, My daughter, come to My secret place in this season. Stop listening to them for a moment and listen to what I have to say to you. Come into the silence, in the darkness of your room, so that I can reveal Myself to you there.” The Lord is calling many of you into solitude on that spiritual mountain.
It is not that I have not wanted to speak to you, says the Lord, but that you have not taken time to listen to Me. It is not that I have not wanted to reveal Myself, but that you have set Me aside and preferred people and crowds over Me.
Noelia: If God calls you into this season of solitude and you listen to Him, you will see His wonders and receive His commandments, directions, and instructions for that time, just as the angels gave the commandments to Moses on the mountain.
The Lord tells you to heed that call to solitude so you can receive what He has for you in this time. Do not feel guilty, because sometimes voices from the enemy will speak through other people, saying, “Why are you stopping? Why are you no longer doing this or that? Why aren’t you taking care of us?” But God tells you, “Listen to My counsel first, and you will see My glory manifested in your life.”
The Spirit now reveals to me that a time of war is coming upon the whole world.
Little ones, prepare yourselves, says the Lord. Arm yourselves with the spiritual weapons you will need to stand firm in these times. Stock your homes, because scarcity comes in wartime. You have now been warned. Fill your cupboards with provisions. Remain spiritually strong. Learn to fast. Prepare to wage spiritual warfare as well, because the war I am speaking of is a real war.
Prepare yourselves, says the Lord, because war is coming upon the world, but My children behave as if these were times of peace. Weapons are being prepared. Rifles are being loaded. Vast quantities of ammunition are being produced.
Noelia: I see weapons and ammunition factories, and they are incredibly active during this time. I see weapons, weapons, and more weapons being produced. I see many weapons factories around the world, and I see countries arming themselves.
Little ones, open your ears, says the Lord, because news of war is coming. Ask the Holy Spirit and seek His counsel so you will know what to do to stand firm through this upheaval. My friends, discern the times you are living through. These are not times of peace. Weapons are being prepared.
Noelia: I see missiles that have already been directed toward their targets. They are not only ready and armed but also aimed at the countries they will be sent to. The targets are already marked on the maps. I see large tables with maps of the world and of various countries, with those targets already marked. The world leaders are simply waiting for the appointed day and hour to give the order to launch those weapons.
The Lord reveals to me that there is a great deal of espionage among countries during this time, and that many things are happening. These verses come to mind:
[Matthew 24:7-8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[Luke 21:28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
So prepare yourselves and discern this time, says the Lord, because it is a time of battle, a time of clashes between nations, a time of conflicts breaking out, a time of unexpected attacks, a time when the world’s strongholds and world powers will fall.
Discern and prepare. Prepare your homes. Prepare your loved ones. Preach the Word of the Kingdom. Ask the Holy Spirit if you should relocate, and if so, where and when.
It is essential to stay alert and keep watch during these times, because the bombs will explode when the world least expects it. My children must understand that they need to prepare for these things and discern what is already taking shape in the spirit.
Noelia: I see an atmosphere of war. The Lord shows me that before war breaks out in a place, the atmosphere is prepared for war, and spirits of war are present there.
Learn to pick up the scent of what is happening around you, says the Lord. Develop spiritual discernment. Develop your spiritual senses so you can discern what is coming, what is taking shape in the atmosphere, and thus respond and prepare.
Do not be afraid, says the Lord, because I will guide you at all times. But learn to listen to Me, because I tell you again: it is not that I fail to reveal things, but that many do not pay attention to Me or understand Me when I speak.
There is a time to be pregnant, there is a time to give birth, there is a time to raise children, and there is a time to let them go, says the Lord. Yet many of you behave as if it were still time to raise your children when that time has ended and you need to let them go.
There is a time to nest and a time to let them fly, says the Lord. Recognize the seasons your children are going through so you can act accordingly. Just as I recognize the seasons My children are in and act accordingly in their lives, you too must act responsibly and discern what season your children are in.
Noelia: If you still cannot discern what season you are in, prayer is key. Ask the Lord, “What season am I in? What should I do during this time? What have You prepared for me? How should I act in this season?”
Some of you are in a season when you should remain behind the curtain rather than go onstage, but you still act like someone who needs to be seen instead of someone the Lord has hidden. This is because there are hidden desires in your hearts, because there is confusion and doubt in your lives, because you don’t recognize your calling or the season you are in.
There are times to be hidden, times to work behind the scenes, and there are times to be out in the open, to be seen, and to work in full view of others. Not every season is the same.
Perhaps the Lord has kept you hidden until now but is calling you to come into the light. Or perhaps He has kept you in the light until now but is calling you to step back. Step where you are meant to step, and don’t try to step into a role the Lord hasn’t given you in this season.
You can’t hurry seasons; you can’t rush them; you can’t push them along.
Now I see a donkey that has dug in its heels and refuses to walk.
Whatever you do, when a donkey digs in its heels, you cannot make it move, says the Lord. Seasons are like that. When they move slowly, you cannot speed them up if they are not meant to speed up. And when they move quickly, you cannot slow them down, however much you want to go more slowly.
Even animals know what season they are in and behave accordingly. Even female dogs know when they are about to become pregnant before it happens. Even animals behave strangely before an earthquake because they know it is coming. Even animals know to migrate before winter comes to an area.
Noelia: Yet many are stubborn and don’t listen to the Spirit of God. They don’t listen to the spiritual clock the Lord has placed within us, and they don’t know how to recognize what season they are in.
Even the moon and the sun know what they must do and how brightly they must shine, says the Lord, but My own do not recognize the times they are living in. I have placed signs everywhere.
Noelia: I am seeing various signs in the sky, strange things and unusual formations: the moon turning red, heavenly bodies that look different, clouds with striking shapes and colors, and strange lights.
I am speaking through the signs, and My children do not understand what I am doing, says the Lord. Even people of old could discern the signs of the moon, stars, and sun. Even people of old could tell where they stood from the signs in the heavens and on the earth, but My own today cannot distinguish the signs of the times.
Learn and open your eyes, because I am speaking through nature.
Noelia: Remove every spiritual blindfold now, Lord. Some of Your children can’t recognize the season they are in or the season the world is in because they have a veil over their eyes. But now I remove all those veils in the name of Jesus, so that their eyes will be opened and they will be able to recognize the different spiritual seasons.
I cut off all witchcraft and every negative influence that is preventing them from recognizing the season they are in, because the devil doesn’t want them to know what season of life they are going through; if they knew, they could make use of that knowledge.
Even the enemy knows what season the world is in. Even the enemy can sometimes recognize what season you are in, and he takes advantage of the confusion in your mind to make you fall or to make you believe God has abandoned you. When you don’t recognize the season you are in, it’s easy to feel lost, alone, and unprotected.
Recognize what I am doing in you, says the Lord. Recognize what I have given you and where I am leading you. Look around and discern the path you are walking. Observe what is happening in your lives. Observe how things are unfolding around you. Listen to what I say to you through the Word.
Noelia: Sometimes the Lord even shows you what season you are in while you are reading the Bible or when someone brings you a passage of Scripture, but you don’t realize it.
I am speaking to you, says the Father. Learn to recognize My voice, and I will teach you how to make the most of the season you are in.
Noelia: Some of you are in a season of brokenness. This doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love you; He is breaking down stone structures in your hearts so you can learn to love. Some of you feel as if a spiritual hammer is constantly striking you in this season.
Trust in Me, says the Lord, because I am tearing down the shields that keep you from drawing closer to Me and to your neighbor. I am breaking down structures that don’t help you grow.
Noelia: Many of you are going through a season of brokenness and don’t understand why this period in your lives is so painful. God is tearing down the pride that keeps you from bringing forth the best of what He has given you.
Let yourselves be broken and do not resist, says the Lord. Yield like a statue about to be destroyed, so I can completely tear down the idols at work within you.
Little ones, I am working with you in different ways, says the Lord, but none of these seasons of your lives is negative when it comes from Me. Autumn, winter, spring, summer—none is better than another. They are simply different. Learn to make the most of each one, and to praise Me and rejoice in each one, however painful some of these seasons may be. I care for My own and do not leave them alone.
I am holding your hands and have not abandoned you, says the Lord. Endure those blows you feel, little ones, because they are for your good. When that season ends, what is good will be able to manifest itself in you and through you. Nothing will block the flow of love in your hearts, and you will have become clean vessels, able to give a drink to others who are going through a season you have already gone through and who need to receive what is now being poured into you.
Learn from the season you are in and do not resist, says the Lord. Surrender yourselves to Me, the perfect Potter, because I am taking some of you apart to make you anew. Trust in Me. Trust that I love you. To Me, you are precious stones that I am shaping with My own hand. Yield to the tools I am using to shape you, because I know what I am doing.
Have hope, because the cloudy day will not last forever. I have a sun prepared for your lives, but it will appear at the right time. When the appointed time comes, it will shine, and the clouds above your heads today will disperse at the perfect time I have decreed for you.
Noelia: Meditate on these things. Study what the Word says about times, seasons, and periods of life. Take note of the counsel God has given us today through the Holy Spirit and apply it in your lives, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance.
If you cooperate with what God is doing in your lives, sometimes the processes you are going through are shortened, because they no longer need to last so long. But if you resist, if you fail to recognize the season you are in, those processes may last longer than the Lord would have wanted, until His purposes are fulfilled.
The Lord shows me now that there are special anointings for each season. If you are about to go through a spiritual wilderness, the Lord anoints you specifically to endure that wilderness. If you are entering a time of bearing much fruit, He anoints you with a special anointing for that. I see a tree being anointed to be fruitful.
Different kinds of anointings are given in the Spirit to each person according to the season they are about to enter, so they can endure that time and come through it victorious. So trust in the Lord. Trust that He has given you everything you need for victory, and that all things work together for good for those who love God. Amen.
