Judgments are falling on all of them, because they have despised God, denied the Son of God, and given themselves over to corruption. They have sinned greatly, and these judgments are the consequence of that sin.<\/p>\n\n<p>While these judgments fall on the earth, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is being refined, tested, and taken to a higher level of faith. And one of the ways you can show that you truly believe the Lord is by obeying Him in what He\u2019s telling you to do, just as Noah obeyed when God told him to store up food.<\/p>\n\n<p>I mention Noah\u2019s example again because it\u2019s exactly what God keeps showing me. He keeps insisting with me in this area, telling me that one of the ways we show our faith is by responding to His voice.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Holy Spirit said to me: Tell them not to harden their hearts. Tell them that when they hear My voice telling them what they need to do\u2014by holy counsel, so they don\u2019t suffer more than is necessary to be refined\u2014they shouldn\u2019t harden their hearts like the Hebrews did on the day of provocation in the wilderness.<\/p>\n\n<p>God wants to protect you from what\u2019s coming while you\u2019re being tested in your faith and taken to higher levels. It\u2019s true that the Lord has His purposes in all of this, but there\u2019s a part you have to play: respond to what God is warning about and what is already written.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is the time when these powerful prophecies are being fulfilled, and God doesn\u2019t want the tsunami to catch you off guard and take you by surprise. God is speaking and warning you, perhaps so He can rescue you from the blows that are coming upon the whole world.<\/p>\n\n<p>When these judgments fall, they will affect both the just and the unjust, but for different reasons. For the church, it is not wrath, it is not punishment. But for some brothers and sisters, it will simply be their time to go, and God will use some of these circumstances so that, when they leave, they leave saved, crying out and pleading to God.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is what the Lord was speaking to me today in my spirit: Tell them again to get ready. Repeat it like a broken record, because My people do not understand, because My people are distracted, because My people are chasing after material things and worldly progress. My people want to climb the ladder, whether at work or in church. They\u2019re focused on everything except what truly matters, and the flood is coming, the shaking is coming, the lava is coming. The ground will tremble beneath their feet, and they will witness things of great intensity.<\/p>\n\n<p>But also, as I\u2019ve already said, in several places around the world there will be shelters for those who escape these events and for those who will be persecuted by the beast system.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is the time when those shelters will begin to be built on a larger scale and more quickly across the world. And once they\u2019re established, those shelters will need to be stocked with food, medicine, clothing, and so on.<\/p>\n\n<p>Many people think that preparation only needs to be spiritual. But the Lord did not tell Noah, \u201cPrepare yourself spiritually, and that will be enough to escape the water.\u201d He told him, \u201cBuild the ark and store up all kinds of food,\u201d and gave him all the instructions he needed to survive the flood, which was physical, not just spiritual.<\/p>\n\n<p>If the Lord spoke to Noah\u2014who did not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit and did not have the Spirit dwelling within him under the old covenant\u2014how much more can He speak to us, who are His children and are led by the Holy Spirit?<\/p>\n\n<p>There are things in your life that the Bible will not tell you specifically. Yes, it will give you hints, principles, teachings about His laws, and warnings about what is coming in a general sense, but what God does through His Holy Spirit is clarify those things for you: He shows you how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, adds details to what He has already warned is coming, and points out the way so that perhaps you do not suffer more than necessary while you are being refined by those situations.<\/p>\n\n<p>Right now, I\u2019m seeing in a vision a man who opens his pantry and finds only a few things\u2014mostly food\u2014and he begins to wonder, \u201cIf disaster struck here where I live, how many days would this food and water last me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>He starts to think that if an earthquake comes and breaks the city\u2019s pipes, the water could be cut off for many days, and he might not have the electricity he usually relies on.<\/p>\n\n<p>So this man\u2014who doesn\u2019t know much about survival\u2014sits down at his computer and starts researching how to put together a survival kit, how to store certain foods to get by for at least a few days after a disaster, what to do for first aid, which medicines are good to have, and how to assemble a first aid kit.<\/p>\n\n<p>He even considers that it might be wise to learn how to revive someone whose heart has stopped: how to give mouth-to-mouth and perform chest compressions.<\/p>\n\n<p>He says, \u201cAnd what if one of these disasters that hits my city injures one of my children and there are no doctors or nurses available? I don\u2019t even know how to clean a wound, how to cover it, how to make a bandage\u2026 and I don\u2019t even have a first aid kit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>And this proverb comes to my mind:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/pro.27.12\">Proverbs 27:12<\/a>] A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and are punished.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Little children, says the Lord, I am warning My people to get ready in every area of life.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of you think, \u201cHow am I supposed to do that if I barely have enough money to buy food day by day? I don\u2019t have enough, I don\u2019t even have a job, and I\u2019m so weighed down by problems that my mind can\u2019t even handle watching a video about how to survive in the end times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>God is telling you that if you would go into the secret place and truly seek Him with all your heart, asking Him these kinds of questions first, He would begin to give you the keys you need to open those doors.<\/p>\n\n<p>Little children, says the Lord, have hope and hold tightly to Me, because only those who cling to Me will be able to withstand the times that are coming.<\/p>\n\n<p>I (Noelia) see hospitals overflowing because of everything I mentioned before. But I also see Jesus walking their halls, entering rooms, ministering to people, and revealing Himself to some of them.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t understand why all these things must happen, says the Lord, trust Me anyway, for I am good, and I didn\u2019t save you just to lose you later. All who are Mine I hold in My hand, says the Lord. Yet because I love you so deeply, I want you to be wise and prudent, to be warned about the evil that is coming, so that you can not only endure, but also have what you need if you should lack anything.<\/p>\n\n<p>I (Noelia) see empty supermarket shelves. And I have already said before that, in different countries, certain products would become very hard to find, their prices would rise, and it would be nearly impossible to buy them. We\u2019re already seeing that word come to pass in this time.<\/p>\n\n<p>Because of avian flu in chickens, for example, and because of diseases and the ongoing economic war between nations, the price of certain foods will skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of you are thinking right now, \u201cWhy should I store up flour if it\u2019s always available, easy to find, and cheap to buy?\u201d But the Lord says, don\u2019t be overconfident, because even what is easy to obtain and affordable now could become scarce tomorrow, and what little is sold, only the wealthy will be able to buy.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be wise, says the Lord. You\u2019ve been warned. Store up for yourselves and your loved ones. Prepare in every way you can. Always have a backpack ready with the basics, with essentials, in case you need to leave your home quickly if something extreme happens.<\/p>\n\n<p>I (Noelia) know many of you believe in your hearts that others need to do this, but not you. That this could happen to someone else, but not to you.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yet the Lord will test many of you to see how you respond in these situations: to see whether you\u2019ll just wait for a miraculous rescue, or whether you\u2019ll do your part.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the book of Acts, we see that the disciples often had to flee from city to city because of persecution. When the Jews sought to kill them, they didn\u2019t just stay put waiting for the Lord to rescue them\u2014they fled from city to city to escape their pursuers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/act.14.5-6\">Acts 14:5-6<\/a>] And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, they were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The Lord wants the church to move, to be alert, to wake up and rise up.<\/p>\n\n<p>Know this: if something serious happens in Europe, says the Lord, it won\u2019t only affect Europe. It will be like throwing a stone into water\u2014the ripples will reach the rest of the world. In the same way, everything that happens in the United States\u2014every blow they give or receive\u2014will impact all the other nations of the earth.<\/p>\n\n<p>You are far too overconfident, says the Lord. And not only that, you don\u2019t believe Me\u2014and even less do you believe the trumpets I am sounding.<\/p>\n\n<p>I (Noelia) see again that some of you are dreaming of alarms, horns, trumpets, shofars sounding, because the Lord is trying to get your attention.<\/p>\n\n<p>Little children, says the Lord, have hope, for you are in My hand and you do not need to be afraid. Fear is not the answer. Fear does not build up, but destroys. If you live in fear, you will make wrong decisions and cause those around you to stumble too, because they will live under the same fear that controls you.<\/p>\n\n<p>You must trust Me, be humble, and be ready at all times for whatever may come where you live.<\/p>\n\n<p>Do you love Me? Jesus asks. Then obey Me.<\/p>\n\n<p>Do you care about Me? the Lord asks. Then get ready.<\/p>\n\n<p>Do you want to please Me? Then don\u2019t do what you want, but what I tell you to do, says Jesus.<\/p>\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be stubborn. Don\u2019t make your forehead like diamond. Open your ears to hear My voice. I\u2019ve been warning you since ancient times, yet you refuse to believe that this is the time when many of the tragic things written in the Bible will come to pass.<\/p>\n\n<p>I long to keep you safe, to care for you, to help you, to guide you, says the Lord. But you must let yourselves be led, and you must learn to listen to My voice above the voice of man.<\/p>\n\n<p>My beloved, says Jesus, I love you with an everlasting love and I hold you close. I don\u2019t want you to suffer more than you must. I want you covered by My mighty hand, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n<p>Pray at dawn, crying out for answers, and say to Me: \u201cLord, what exactly do I need to do? How do I protect my house? How do I protect my loved ones, if there\u2019s any way I can? What decisions must I make so my home becomes a bunker against the enemy\u2019s attacks\u2014first spiritually, but also physically? How do I prepare, Lord? How can I be ready for what\u2019s coming? What do I need to buy or stop buying? Do I need to move, or should I stay? Should I leave the coast where I live, or remain here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>This is personal guidance each of you must seek in this area. I (Noelia) know that God is already showing some of you what you need to do, and I confirm it to you by the Holy Spirit so that you will believe and respond.<\/p>\n\n<p>Now I see a person putting on clothing.<\/p>\n\n<p>When winter comes, says the Lord, you put on more clothes than in the previous season. You prepare to go outside, knowing what season you\u2019re in. You wear clothes suited to that time, says the Lord. But you don\u2019t know how to discern the spiritual season you\u2019re living in. That\u2019s why you\u2019re not prepared or equipped for the time you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n\n<p>Little children, don\u2019t be foolish in this.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Lord is showing me that this is also part of the preparation of the wise virgins. One thing the parable of the virgins teaches is preparation\u2014not just spiritual, but physical as well\u2014because the oil is not only spiritual, it\u2019s also practical.<\/p>\n\n<p>Prepare your storehouses, says the Lord. Clothe yourselves with power, not just with the garments needed for this season. Pray without ceasing. Sanctify your homes and yourselves. Share the bread of the Lord\u2019s Supper. Intercede, fast, and return to the practices of a true Christian church, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be ready at all times, in every moment, even to give your lives if I ask it of you. Because I love you so much, says Jesus, that\u2019s why I use hammers like this one\u2014speaking of me, Noelia\u2014to strike and shake you a bit. Not to harm you, but so you\u2019ll wake up, come to your senses, and respond to the call.<\/p>\n\n<p>Listen to the voices through which I\u2019m warning you of these things, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n<p>God is also telling me that we need to be at least somewhat aware of what\u2019s happening in the world. Some of you never watch the news\u2014nothing, not at all. You have no idea what\u2019s happening\u2014not where you live, not in your country, not in the world\u2014and you think it\u2019s wrong, that it\u2019s a sin to see these things. You even think it\u2019s pointless, that it doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\n<p>But God says that even if the news lies, even if there\u2019s some truth and some falsehood, even if things are exaggerated, it\u2019s still our duty as Christians to keep ourselves informed\u2014to a certain extent\u2014about what\u2019s happening. Because God is speaking about these things and giving warnings. God is saying what He thinks about these world events, to bring light and direction to the church, so the church won\u2019t be left in the dark, lost among it all.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sometimes, those who aren\u2019t believers are more prepared than My own people, says the Lord. Sometimes, My people are more ignorant than those in the world.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be alert, says God. Don\u2019t get anxious, don\u2019t go to extremes, don\u2019t exaggerate, and don\u2019t live in fear or worry, or become obsessed with knowing these things. Just stay informed about what\u2019s happening and don\u2019t live in complete ignorance.<\/p>\n\n<p>The ignorant are easier to bring down, says the Lord, but those who are warned may have time to hide.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of you aren\u2019t called to keep certain things just for yourselves, but also to share in times of scarcity. The provision I\u2019m telling you to store up isn\u2019t just for you, but also to share with others.<\/p>\n\n<p>Consider this, says the Lord. If you won\u2019t think of yourselves, at least think of your neighbor and do it for them.<\/p>\n\n<p>I (Noelia) am seeing a piece of cake that\u2019s been given to you to eat during this time, spiritually speaking.<\/p>\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just eat the part you like, says the Lord. Eat this as well. Don\u2019t pick only what suits you, says the Lord. Listen to everything, because everything I say comes from love and mercy, and because I want to protect you. And even though I\u2019m refining you, remember that I am with you until the end of the age, just as I said before.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/luk.16.8\">Luke 16:8<\/a>] And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>That\u2019s what the Lord is showing me.<\/p>\n\n<p>Focus on what\u2019s important in these times, and return to the basics, says the Lord\u2014to what\u2019s essential, doctrinally speaking. Don\u2019t get lost in empty philosophies, in trendy beliefs, or in pagan customs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Don\u2019t imitate the practices of Judaism, says the Lord, because you are called to follow Jesus, not Moses. Follow Jesus under the law of faith, with the freedom given by the Holy Spirit of God who lives in you, and don\u2019t turn back like the Galatians did, says the Lord.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/rom.3.27\">Romans 3:27<\/a>] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The Lord adds this holy advice because the celebration of the Jewish Passover and the commemoration of the exodus from Egypt are approaching.<\/p>\n\n<p>God says that our Passover is Jesus, who has already been crucified for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Translation from Spanish This time I want to share this Bible passage with you, because this is what the Lord wants to speak&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1580,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prophecy-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noeliafernandez.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
