Translation from Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Blessings to all on this April 16, 2025. I\u2019m Noelia, here once again to bring you a word from heaven, because the Lord desires to speak to His church today.<\/p>\n\n

Earlier, during my time in prayer, the Holy Spirit gave me Ephesians 6:10-18 as the passage for today and showed me that the Lord wants to give you an important message on this subject for the church of the last days.<\/p>\n

\n

[Ephesians 6:10-18<\/a>] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

All glory to the Lord for this amazing scripture He has given us, so we can learn not only how to protect ourselves from the enemy\u2019s schemes, but also how to fight back.<\/p>\n\n

Beloved, the Lord says, many of you are unprotected. You are not guarding yourselves against the enemy\u2019s attacks. You are not alert, you are not keeping watch, but instead you are ignoring his schemes.<\/p>\n

\n

[2 Corinthians 2:11<\/a>] lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Open your eyes to see what is happening in the spiritual realm. Look closely, for there are things happening beyond what your physical eyes can see\u2014things that, if you ignore them, will not help you.<\/p>\n\n

Some people allow themselves to be attacked and defeated. Some let those arrows the devil sends without ceasing get through.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, the Lord says, you pretend to be blind because you don\u2019t want to learn about the enemy\u2019s strategies. But today I come to tell you to raise the shield of faith to defend yourselves against them. Yet if you don\u2019t see those arrows coming your way, if you don\u2019t open your eyes to spot them, how can you raise that shield and defend yourselves? And beyond that, how can you fight back and command the enemy to flee?<\/p>\n\n

Many of you are ignorant of things you ought to know, but don\u2019t. Many of you are neglecting things you should be doing, but aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n

Because there\u2019s a part that I do, says the Lord, when I protect you, when I keep you safe, when I defend you. But there\u2019s another part I expect you to do, and many of you are not doing it.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, if you keep ignoring the devil\u2019s schemes, he gains the advantage. Open your eyes to see that there is an invisible kingdom of darkness, well organized against your lives and your loved ones. Open your understanding to realize there is a battle taking place in the spiritual realm that could affect you if you keep pretending not to see, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

For whoever pretends to be deaf when he can hear will be wounded. Whoever pretends to be blind when he can see will pay the price for that neglect and denial.<\/p>\n\n

Many of you are in denial and don\u2019t even want to hear or know that there is an enemy, and that in his kingdom there is order and hierarchy\u2014where each has a certain level of power and different roles and tasks, many of which are sent against your lives.<\/p>\n\n

Ignoring what is real, even if you cannot see it, only increases your troubles, says the Lord. Refusing to see what is there will not help you win the daily battles you face, either.<\/p>\n\n

I want to teach you, says the Lord. I want to help you; I want to give you understanding and reveal to you why it is important to be armed, to know how to defend yourselves, and how to take authority over those things that move behind the curtain of what can be seen, and also how to fight back, if necessary.<\/p>\n\n

My little ones, says the Lord, there is a whole spiritual armor that you need to learn to keep on.<\/p>\n\n

And I (Noelia) am seeing a warrior from ancient times, fully armored, with every piece perfectly in place where it should be. The size of that armor fits this soldier exactly, and the sword in his hand is quite large, but just the right weight for him to carry. The shield is thick and truly protects: it covers almost his entire body.<\/p>\n\n

In this vision, the body of this warrior isn\u2019t strong, big, or muscular. He doesn\u2019t have much physical strength, but he has the armor on properly, which is the perfect size and the right weight\u2014not too heavy and not too light.<\/p>\n\n

This warrior has carefully examined every part of his armor before putting it on. He chose the chainmail with care, because I\u2019m seeing metal chainmail as part of his armor. He paid attention to every detail before wearing it, and decided which of all the available armors was right for him: which one would help him defend himself best, which would allow him to attack most effectively, and which had just the right weight so he could move with agility in that battle.<\/p>\n\n

The passage from Ephesians 6 comes to mind again, where it says that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, authorities, and spiritual forces of evil.<\/p>\n\n

And the Holy Spirit is showing me now that those principalities, powers, authorities, and forces of evil often also have spiritual armor\u2014armor that is real and not just imaginary. These evil spirits have spiritual armor with which they clothe their spiritual bodies.<\/p>\n

\n

[1 Corinthians 15:39-40<\/a>] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Holy Spirit is teaching me that just as we dress our physical bodies with clothes made for this body, spiritual bodies can be dressed with spiritual garments, and also with spiritual armor.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019m not just talking about the spiritual bodies of humans, but also of angels\u2014whether angels in God\u2019s presence or demons. Those bodies can also have specific armor. In the spirit, both angels and demons have armor specially designed for them.<\/p>\n\n

We need to understand that these things\u2014the garments, the tools, the armor\u2014are objects that exist both in the physical and in the spiritual, and that they are used by these spiritual or heavenly beings.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord is making me understand that many of you do not have a deep understanding of spiritual things. Some of you don\u2019t want to understand them, while others do want to, but are ignorant for various reasons. That\u2019s why the Lord is speaking about this today, reminding us that we are body, soul, and spirit.<\/p>\n\n

Just as a person needs special clothing to go to war, the same is true in the spirit. When our spirit must go into battle or face a particular spiritual adversary, it needs to be equipped with armor in order to attack, defend itself, and gain victory through the blood and the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord is saying this because many of you don\u2019t realize that, besides the body, we also have a soul and a spirit, and both play a role in our being.<\/p>\n

\n

[1 Thessalonians 5:23<\/a>] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Lord says that many of you don\u2019t understand what the Bible means when it says we must put on the full armor of God so that we can stand firm against the schemes of the devil.<\/p>\n\n

Some of you are asking yourselves, \u201cYes, but how do I put on the armor of God? Am I wearing the armor of God? Do I have to be permanently dressed in the armor of God? How does this armor of God thing work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

To answer these questions, the Holy Spirit is showing me now that when we do what is right, the breastplate of righteousness is automatically placed on our spiritual body.<\/p>\n\n

When we walk by faith, when we have faith and defend ourselves through our faith, we are automatically raising the shield of faith.<\/p>\n\n

When our swords are sharp\u2014when we know the Bible and use it against the enemy\u2019s darts\u2014that is the same as wielding the sword of the Spirit.<\/p>\n\n

When we are saved and we know it\u2014because the Holy Spirit testifies to us that we are saved, when we have already been born again by water and by the Spirit and we walk in holiness\u2014if we don\u2019t give place to doubt about our salvation, the helmet of salvation remains on our heads.<\/p>\n\n

When we evangelize, speaking and sharing the good news of the Kingdom, the shoes of the readiness of the gospel of peace are on our feet.<\/p>\n\n

When we walk in truth, when we speak the truth, when we have sound doctrine, when we renew our minds and learn to think truthfully\u2014as it is written, as God thinks, in a just way\u2014that truth acts like a belt that holds the armor around our waist. If we are in truth and not in error, that garment stays in place through the truth.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s not that, if I need to go into battle, I can just put on the armor of God by saying a prayer. The Holy Spirit is showing me now that it doesn\u2019t work like that.<\/p>\n\n

I might enter a spiritual battle and pray in that moment, \u201cIn the name of Jesus, I put on the spiritual armor: the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, the sword of the Word, the helmet of salvation, the shoes of the gospel of peace,\u201d and I can pray at all times and keep watch, just as Ephesians 6 later says. But if, in my daily life, I\u2019m not acting justly, if I\u2019m walking in error and not in truth, no matter how much I say in prayer, \u201cI put on the armor of God,\u201d I won\u2019t actually be wearing it.<\/p>\n\n

I can say, \u201cI lift up the shield of faith to defend myself from the enemy\u2019s darts,\u201d but if I\u2019m not truly putting into practice the faith the Lord gave me\u2014to believe Him instead of the devil\u2014then my words are empty. They don\u2019t work as a prayer; it\u2019s more like a magic spell, like when witches say a phrase to make something happen.<\/p>\n\n

It doesn\u2019t work that way; the Holy Spirit is showing me now. Here\u2019s how it works: when I act justly, that breastplate of righteousness is what protects me. When I walk in truth, the armor stays in place, because that truth acts like a belt that fastens the armor to my spiritual body, keeping it well fitted and firm so it doesn\u2019t fall off.<\/p>\n\n

I can say, \u201cRight now I take up the sword of the Spirit and cut through the enemy\u2019s lies,\u201d but if I don\u2019t know the Bible and don\u2019t declare it just as it\u2019s written, I\u2019m not truly holding it in my hand in the spirit.<\/p>\n\n

The Holy Spirit is showing me now that the armor of God remains on our spirits at all times if we stay right with God above all, if we walk in righteousness, in truth, in faith, if we believe we are saved, if we share the gospel, if we pray and keep watch at all times.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes, a person might be wearing almost all the armor, but the helmet of salvation could be lying on the ground. And the Holy Spirit is showing me that this can happen when someone listens to the enemy\u2019s voice and stops believing they are saved, even though they really are.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019m seeing someone who\u2019s constantly attacked in their mind. The devil comes and speaks to them nonstop: \u201cSee? You\u2019re not saved. I told you. You\u2019re not right with God. You lost your salvation. You\u2019re condemned. You\u2019re going to hell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s not always like this, but in this vision, what the devil is saying is a lie. The person is right with God and is saved, but they\u2019re believing what the devil says. And when they do, it\u2019s as if they take off the helmet of salvation.<\/p>\n\n

Then their spiritual head is left unprotected, uncovered. So the darts the enemy throws at them get into their mind and start working like little seeds planted in the ground, which, when watered and cared for, will grow and bear fruit for darkness.<\/p>\n\n

There are many false teachings about how the spiritual armor works, says the Lord. Until today, many of you believed that if you just said a prayer to put it on, or said you had it on, that was enough.<\/p>\n\n

But in reality, when you\u2019re in error, when you believe a doctrine of demons and give it a place in your life\u2014even teaching it\u2014the belt, the belt of truth that holds your armor together in the spirit, begins to loosen. And then the armor begins to weaken, until the different pieces can even fall off. Because it\u2019s the belt that holds everything together at the waist.<\/p>\n\n

Now I see in another vision a person who has all the armor on but doesn\u2019t have the sword in their hand. That is, they don\u2019t read the Bible and don\u2019t know it, or only read it from time to time. So when the enemy comes to attack them by speaking lies, they don\u2019t use it or declare it against those lies to cut them down, because they don\u2019t have the sword in their hand.<\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, someone might try to use it, but the sword doesn\u2019t cut well because it isn\u2019t sharp.<\/p>\n\n

When Jesus went into the desert to be tempted, what He used to fight back against the enemy\u2019s temptations was the written Word.<\/p>\n

\n

[Matthew 4:3-4<\/a>] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I\u2019m seeing now that it was as if the devil drew his sword to attack Jesus, and Jesus fought back with His own. It was like a sword fight\u2014a battle of words between them.<\/p>\n\n

But Jesus knew the Scriptures by heart, and that\u2019s why He could proclaim them against what the devil was saying to Him, to repel the temptations, cut down those lies, and destroy them with that sharp, double-edged sword.<\/p>\n\n

This is very important, because God is telling you with this that one of the ways to overcome temptation is to use Scripture. And in that moment, you are raising your sword of the Spirit to defend yourself against temptation.<\/p>\n\n

However, it can also happen that someone\u2014even a child of God\u2014is in sin. If this person prays and says, for example, \u201cIn the name of Jesus, I put on the armor of God right now,\u201d nothing happens in the spirit, because that person isn\u2019t even justified before the Lord. There\u2019s a wall between God and them.<\/p>\n\n

To have the right to spiritual protection, you have to get right with God first. Because when you\u2019re in willful sin, it\u2019s as if you\u2019re not only stripped of spiritual armor, but also completely exposed.<\/p>\n\n

There are verses that speak of this state of nakedness\u2014that is, being in sin and not clothed in righteousness.<\/p>\n\n

The Spirit is showing me now that some of you believed that by saying, \u201cI put on the armor of God,\u201d it would happen in the spirit and you could face the enemy.<\/p>\n\n

In reality, if you\u2019re in willful sin, not only do you lack the right to use any kind of armor, but you also don\u2019t have the authority you could exercise if you were right with God, nor the right to use the name of Jesus or His blood. In the spirit, you are completely exposed.<\/p>\n

\n

[Revelation 16:15<\/a>] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.<\/p>\n

[Revelation 3:18<\/a>] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Spirit is showing me now that most of those who are in sin know it, and also know exactly what sin they\u2019re in. Even so, they think they can pray and that God will listen to them. They think they can declare, \u201cIn the name of Jesus, I put on the armor of God to fight against the enemy,\u201d when in reality they don\u2019t have the right to access that kind of protection, or that kind of defense and attack.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019m not saying that God can\u2019t have mercy and protect you in that moment, maybe because of your ignorance or for other reasons. I\u2019m not ruling out that possibility, because God can do whatever He wants, according to His sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n

But normally it doesn\u2019t work that way. First, you have to get right. First, you have to be clothed with the Spirit. First, you have to walk in holiness and righteousness. And as you do this, the spiritual armor is automatically put on.<\/p>\n\n

The Holy Spirit is showing me that there are also other things that reinforce our defense, like praying without ceasing\u2014which helps bring about and maintain the fullness of the Holy Spirit in us\u2014and keeping watch at night.<\/p>\n

\n

[Ephesians 6:18<\/a>] praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

When I was praying earlier, the Holy Spirit told me: \u201cIt\u2019s not just about praying, but also about keeping watch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

When we remain in constant prayer, as the Bible says, our spirit stays awake and watchful. So when we sleep and the devil sends his minions to attack us, our bodies can keep resting, but our spirit is alert\u2014more awake than usual\u2014and can respond. Our spirit can defend itself, fight back, and rebuke the devil, because it\u2019s continually filled with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n

Prayer, keeping watch, and fasting are practices that keep our spirit awake and alert, watching at all times\u2014whether our body is awake or asleep, whether we\u2019re taking a nap or resting at night.<\/p>\n\n

This is why many of you, when the devil comes at night, can\u2019t defend yourselves or rebuke him and command him to leave: because your spirits aren\u2019t fully alert.<\/p>\n\n

This can be for different reasons, but the main one\u2014if you\u2019re not in willful sin\u2014is that you\u2019re not praying, you haven\u2019t filled your vessel with the Holy Spirit, and your lamps aren\u2019t full of oil.<\/p>\n\n

You\u2019re not maintaining the anointing with which God anointed you when you were born again, because you never keep watch at night and you fall asleep. You\u2019re like the disciples, who couldn\u2019t pray or wait for the Lord even one hour, while He went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane.<\/p>\n\n

This can also be because you don\u2019t fast. Fasting is like the body growing weaker while the spirit rises up, staying focused on spiritual things instead of earthly ones. It\u2019s as if the flesh loses its importance, its spotlight for a time, so the spirit can take charge. That\u2019s the word I hear: \u201ctake charge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

When we fast, it\u2019s as if we take the steering wheel away from the flesh and hand it to the spirit. So, when we fast rightly, our spirit leads more than the body.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why, if during a fast the devil comes to attack us at night while we sleep, our spirit should react more quickly and with greater power, with an extraordinary, supernatural strength that comes from practicing these things and walking in holiness.<\/p>\n

\n

[Matthew 26:41<\/a>] Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

A person who is carnal and not spiritual usually can\u2019t defend themselves from the enemy\u2019s attacks as they should, because it\u2019s the body, the flesh, that rules their life. It\u2019s as if their spirit is less awake than someone who walks more in the spiritual.<\/p>\n\n

So, when spiritual attacks come, their spirit can\u2019t react the same way, because it\u2019s heavy, asleep, crushed. It\u2019s not alert, watching, keeping guard while the body sleeps. That\u2019s why it doesn\u2019t respond like the spirit of someone who keeps awake through these practices I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n

\n

[Galatians 5:16-17<\/a>] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

When the devil comes to attack us, another thing that happens is that not everyone is aware of the authority the Lord has given us in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n

\n

[Luke 10:19-20<\/a>] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

We have the power to command the spiritual forces of evil that come against us to submit to us. But not everyone is aware of this, the Lord tells me, and not everyone walks in the same authority. Some have been given a certain level of authority, but others, a higher level.<\/p>\n\n

Power and authority are not the same, but both can be increased, says the Lord, and both must be used in spiritual warfare.<\/p>\n\n

Little children, says the Lord, know that there is an authority that was given to you when you were born again and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is a power that has been given to you, imparted by grace, so that you may stand against the powers of the evil one.<\/p>\n

\n

[Acts 1:8<\/a>] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Jud\u00e6a, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Power and authority\u2014both must be used against the forces of evil, says the Lord, in the name that is above every name: in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n

\n

[Philippians 2:10<\/a>] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth<\/p>\n

[John 14:13<\/a>] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Lord repeats that we need to know what and who we are up against, and how far the forces of evil can go. We should not be ignorant of this or caught off guard by the attacks the evil one may send our way.<\/p>\n\n

Many people don\u2019t understand that the kingdom of evil is a kingdom, and like any kingdom, it is organized and has a king. That king has people under his authority, who in turn have others under them, and so on, forming chains of authority. The Lord says we shouldn\u2019t be naive about these things.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s like in a company, the Lord is showing me. In a company, there\u2019s the general manager, and under him are the different positions. In the kingdom of darkness, there are also different levels, says the Lord, and different degrees of authority are delegated to accomplish certain goals and purposes, just like in a company.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord says that ignoring these things won\u2019t help us gain victory; it will only weaken us.<\/p>\n\n

Walking in holiness, in righteousness, and in truth; having no stains on our garments\u2014that is, not living in willful sin; being filled with the Holy Spirit and staying close to the Lord, walking hand in hand with Him\u2026 all of this means we already have His protection.<\/p>\n\n

But even so, there are times when we must fight a battle against the powers of evil.<\/p>\n

\n

[Ephesians 6:12<\/a>] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

There are battles we must fight ourselves. As we grow spiritually, the Lord teaches us in this area, and the Holy Spirit gives us the strategies we need to overcome, says God, for there are different kinds of wars, battles, and enemies.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why we need to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

\n

[Romans 8:14<\/a>] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Another thing to remember about spiritual warfare is that we need to keep our secret place, to ask the Holy Spirit what the enemy is forging or doing against us, and what the strategy is to overcome that particular attack.<\/p>\n\n

Because there are different kinds of attacks. Some are milder, some are stronger. Some are short, others are long. There are wars that last days, and wars that last years\u2014even decades. So we can\u2019t use the same defense and attack strategy in every battle.<\/p>\n\n

You might not find the specific strategy for the battle you\u2019re facing now in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit can give it to you. If you go to the secret place of prayer and learn to hear the Lord\u2019s voice, to understand how He speaks to you and follow His guidance, and if you ask the Lord for that strategy, He will give you the answer.<\/p>\n\n

He might not always do it with an audible voice, but through one of the many ways the Lord speaks. He will give you the strategy, because He wants you to overcome, not to be a fallen soldier.<\/p>\n

\n

[John 14:26<\/a>] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Lord is showing me now that some of you haven\u2019t had victory in certain spiritual battles or against certain attacks the enemy has launched against you, because you always used the same strategy.<\/p>\n\n

Every time you\u2019re under a strong attack, you fast for the same amount of time, for example, or you pray the same number of hours, or you always proclaim the same verses against those attacks. But the verses you need to proclaim in that moment, using the Word as a sword, depend on what the devil is attacking you with.<\/p>\n\n

If we study Jesus\u2019 temptation in the wilderness, we see that Jesus didn\u2019t always answer the devil with the same verse. In the same way, we can\u2019t always respond to the enemy in the same way. We need to recognize which enemy we\u2019re facing and what he\u2019s been sent for. That part can be revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, showing us the devil\u2019s strategies against our lives.<\/p>\n\n

Therefore, we have to be attentive to what God speaks to us in a personal and individual way. The Lord is showing me now that this mostly happens through dreams, but many of you aren\u2019t paying attention to those warnings. So you do nothing, the enemy succeeds, and those attacks enter your lives\u2014and then you wonder why God didn\u2019t warn you, when He already did: He had already shown you what the devil was plotting against you.<\/p>\n\n

The Holy Spirit is telling me now that one of the most important parts of a Christian\u2019s spiritual armor is faith.<\/p>\n

\n

[Ephesians 6:16<\/a>] above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

When you read the Bible, I encourage you to pay attention to the details\u2014to those little words we sometimes skip over and don\u2019t think are important, but that are often the key to what we need to know.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord tells me that if we don\u2019t have faith, it\u2019s useless to proclaim, \u201cI put on the spiritual armor of God.\u201d If we don\u2019t have faith, we can\u2019t defend ourselves from the enemy\u2019s arrows, because when there\u2019s no faith, the spiritual shield is no longer in our hand, but lying on the ground. Saying that we take up the shield won\u2019t make the shield return to our hand in the spirit. If we don\u2019t have faith, it will stay on the ground.<\/p>\n\n

But when we have faith\u2014when we don\u2019t believe the devil, but believe God, when we have faith in Jesus Christ and in what we can\u2019t see but is there all the same\u2014then the shield is automatically in our hands.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s not about saying or not saying, \u201cI put on the armor of God.\u201d It\u2019s about walking in it. It\u2019s about walking by faith and not by sight, and then the shield is automatically in our hands to defend us from the enemy\u2019s arrows.<\/p>\n\n

But without faith it\u2019s impossible to please God. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have His protection. That\u2019s why the shield is not in our hands.<\/p>\n\n

Faith is the main thing. With faith you resist, and with faith you go on the offensive.<\/p>\n\n

If I\u2019m praying a spiritual warfare prayer and I say, for example, \u201cRight now I send flaming arrows into the enemy\u2019s camp,\u201d but I say it without faith, nothing will happen in the spiritual realm. The Lord won\u2019t send any arrows into the enemy\u2019s camp, because spiritual things move through faith.<\/p>\n\n

Faith works like gasoline or fuel. Faith is a force. Sometimes it\u2019s like a substance, like a liquid, or like a rush of wind. Faith can manifest in different ways, the Holy Spirit is showing me now, but it\u2019s always a force that causes things to happen in the spiritual world and then appear in the physical.<\/p>\n\n

But without faith, not only does nothing move in the spirit\u2014because it\u2019s faith that causes movement in the spiritual realm\u2014but it\u2019s also the force that brings what is unseen into the physical world.<\/p>\n\n

Without faith, I can\u2019t go to war, and I can\u2019t defend myself or attack. If I don\u2019t have faith, I can\u2019t resist. Not only will my shield fall and I won\u2019t be able to defend myself from my enemy\u2019s attacks, but I\u2019ll also start to grow weak and become emptier and emptier.<\/p>\n\n

The anointing will dry up, and I\u2019ll begin to be emptied of the Holy Spirit, because I start to displease God and grieve the Holy Spirit, since without faith it\u2019s impossible to please God. I begin to lose strength, and I become like a soldier who doesn\u2019t eat and starts to lose muscle, because it\u2019s faith that feeds my spiritual body.<\/p>\n

\n

[Hebrews 11:6<\/a>] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Faith is a certainty. When I move in faith, I am absolutely convinced. Even if I can\u2019t see with my physical eyes, I know there are spiritual things that are there. Even if I can\u2019t see God, I\u2019m convinced He exists. Even if my eyes don\u2019t see Him, I know He\u2019s there. And the same goes for all spiritual things.<\/p>\n\n

The Holy Spirit says that each of you needs to examine yourselves to see where you stand in this area. Each of you must ask if you\u2019re believing God, if you\u2019re sharing the gospel\u2026<\/p>\n\n

And not only that. If you walk in peace, the shoes of the readiness of the gospel of peace are automatically placed on your spiritual feet. But when you don\u2019t have peace, because you give place to fear, worry, anxiety, and stress, it\u2019s as if your shoes are no longer on your spiritual feet. The shoes aren\u2019t just about the gospel, but about peace as well.<\/p>\n\n

God is showing me that many of you are dreaming that you\u2019re barefoot because you don\u2019t have peace. That\u2019s what it means in those particular dreams, even though shoes can represent many different things.<\/p>\n\n

God says you should examine yourselves, because some of you think you\u2019re saved one day and the next day think you\u2019re not, and so your minds are left unprotected. The enemy constantly attacks you in the area of your mind, planting all kinds of demonic ideas that you\u2019re believing and giving place to. So it\u2019s as if the helmet isn\u2019t on your head in the spirit, and the devil has a field day, working in the garden of your thoughts however he pleases.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re right with God and walking in holiness, the Lord tells me it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t doubt your salvation.<\/p>\n

\n

[Philippians 2:12-13<\/a>] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

It\u2019s true that if a person goes back to the world and starts living in sin, that helmet of salvation falls off their head and that person is no longer saved during that time. But I\u2019m talking about a child of God who is believing the devil\u2019s lies, who tells him he\u2019s not saved, when he actually is, because he\u2019s not in sin, because he\u2019s right with the Lord and justified. That\u2019s the difference.<\/p>\n\n

Little children, says the Lord, learn about spiritual warfare. Learn the different ways the evil one can attack you, and also learn how to defend yourselves. Learn to rebuke him in the name of Jesus and command him to back off.<\/p>\n\n

Break all ties with the fear of evil attacks, says the Lord, and learn to stand firm like a soldier who always has his shield raised and his sword sharp, ready to cut whatever needs to be cut.<\/p>\n\n

Don\u2019t be ignorant in this area any longer, says the Lord. Learn about spiritual warfare, for in these last days the spiritual forces of wickedness are doubling their attacks against My people, seeking to destroy them and cause all kinds of trouble. And what they use most are lies.<\/p>\n\n

The devil lies to My people, and My people believe him. When you believe what the enemy is telling you, when he\u2019s lying to you, says the Lord, you\u2019re coming into agreement with him. If you do this, there\u2019s no spiritual armor that can defend you, because it\u2019s as if you\u2019re walking hand in hand with the enemy, as if you were marrying him. You\u2019re like two people walking together in agreement, not in opposition.<\/p>\n

\n

[Amos 3:3<\/a>] Can two walk together, except they be agreed?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

When you believe the devil\u2019s lies, says God, it\u2019s as if you\u2019re walking with him and becoming his friend. In that case, there\u2019s no need for armor, because there\u2019s nothing to defend against\u2014you\u2019re walking hand in hand with him.<\/p>\n\n

Don\u2019t believe what the devil speaks to your mind, says the Lord. Confront what the devil says with the Word of God that is already written. Command him to retreat.<\/p>\n\n

Praise Me, says the Lord, for this is another means of defense.<\/p>\n

\n

[2 Chronicles 20:21-22<\/a>] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

This is another powerful weapon against the devil: praise, worshiping Me in spirit and in truth. Demons hate it when a child truly praises Me and worships Me from their spirit, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

When a child worships God in spirit and in truth, it\u2019s as if they catch fire in the spirit, and everything evil around them is burned up and flees.<\/p>\n\n

Resist evil and obey Me, says God, for if you want the devil to flee, you must first resist him. But in order to resist, you must first obey Me, says the Lord.<\/p>\n

\n

[James 4:7<\/a>] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

You can\u2019t resist the enemy if you don\u2019t first submit to Me, says the Lord. If you don\u2019t submit, if you don\u2019t obey My commandments, if you don\u2019t respect My rules, you won\u2019t be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy.<\/p>\n\n

Little children, there are many spiritual weapons available to you, says the Lord. Speaking in tongues by the Holy Spirit is another one of them.<\/p>\n

\n

[1 Corinthians 14:39<\/a>] Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

When you speak in tongues, even if you can\u2019t interpret them yet, those words are sent into the enemy\u2019s camp like arrows of fire in the spirit. But you must believe in the gifts I have given you through the Holy Spirit, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

Many of you don\u2019t believe you have the gift of tongues, and so you\u2019re missing out on using a powerful weapon against evil.<\/p>\n\n

When you feel attacked, intimidated, persecuted by the enemy, or oppressed, speak in tongues without stopping. This is one of the strategies that even those with the least spiritual knowledge can use.<\/p>\n\n

When you don\u2019t know what to do, or you\u2019re still learning to hear the Holy Spirit and understand the solutions and strategies He gives, then speak in tongues.<\/p>\n\n

If you don\u2019t have the gift of tongues, ask for it, says the Lord. If you don\u2019t receive it, the Holy Spirit will still inspire you to use another spiritual weapon. But if you do have the gift of tongues, says the Lord, why not use it?<\/p>\n\n

Even dancing can become a spiritual weapon for defense and attack. When you dance to praise Me, worshiping Me inwardly as you dance, says the Lord, angels are sent to the place where you are, and those angels defend you.<\/p>\n\n

I (Noelia) see a person dancing for the Lord and truly worshiping Him in their spirit. And angels come and begin to fight against the demons that want to attack this person.<\/p>\n\n

Dancing and singing are weapons of war, not just for worship, says the Lord.<\/p>\n

\n

[2 Samuel 6:14<\/a>] And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Playing instruments to praise the Lord can also become a weapon of spiritual warfare.<\/p>\n

\n

[1 Samuel 16:23<\/a>] And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The Lord is showing me now that, in this time, many of you are going through a process of training in spiritual warfare. And this is a confirmation for you: that calling is from Him, and you\u2019re facing so many battles not because of your sin, but because He\u2019s training you as a soldier to later use you in greater battles in the last days.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re going through this season of having to constantly fight against the enemy\u2019s attacks, the Lord says: Resist, and don\u2019t lose faith. Don\u2019t lay down your weapons of light\u2014stand your ground, and learn to be resilient over time, not just for a moment, a day, or a week. For it is God who is teaching you endurance and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n

Resist, says the Lord, for I am the One calling you, preparing you, and teaching you different ways to defend yourself and to fight.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord is showing me now that some of you are having dreams where you\u2019re under attack, and in those same dreams, God is giving you different strategies to defeat the enemy. And it\u2019s not always the same strategy.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes, you sing to God in the dream, and that drives the enemy away, and you win the victory. Sometimes you simply command the enemy to leave and back off in the name of Jesus, or you rebuke him in Jesus\u2019 name. Sometimes you invoke the blood of the Lamb and say, for example, \u201cThe blood of Christ has power,\u201d and just declaring this truth makes the demons back off and flee.<\/p>\n\n

Several years ago, I myself had a dream like that. The enemy was attacking me, and in the dream I said, \u201cThe blood of Christ has power.\u201d Then the enemy let me go, and I won that battle. Proclaiming this truth was like driving an arrow into the heart of the demon that was attacking me.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord is giving you different strategies and teaching you in various ways about battles, warfare, spiritual weapons, and how to defend yourselves. The Holy Spirit is calling many of you to rise at dawn to be trained in this area.<\/p>\n\n

If you want to wear the armor of God in the Spirit, says the Lord, you have to walk as a true Christian, as a true child of God, and not as a hypocrite who claims to put on the armor but doesn\u2019t live in it, because he\u2019s not worthy of wearing it.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, says the Lord, have faith, for I help you.<\/p>\n\n

And I (Noelia) see a girl who wants to use the sword to defend herself spiritually, but she feels she has no strength. Yet Jesus comes and helps her lift her hand, along with the sword, to cut through the lies the devil was using against her.<\/p>\n\n

With this, God wants you to understand that He will help you in the process. As you learn, He is with you and will not leave you alone. When you run out of strength, He will be the One to strengthen you, or He Himself will do it for you, or He will help you finish what you started when you feel you can\u2019t go on.<\/p>\n\n

Have faith, says the Lord, for I help you in every battle. But you have to believe Me. You must believe that I am truly there with you, for I overcame first. I have already overcome, so that you may overcome.<\/p>\n\n

Listen to the Holy Spirit and follow the steps\u2014that is, the signs\u2014that are being left for you. Ask for strategies and respond to the call, because sometimes there are attacks that require a response from you, and you\u2019re not getting up at night when the Lord calls you and tells you what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n

I don\u2019t want you taking hits you could have avoided, says the Lord. Grow in this area.<\/p>\n\n

I (Noelia) see a warrior who starts out small and then begins to grow and grow, until he becomes like a giant.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord says that you can grow in this area, that you may start as an ordinary soldier but end up as a general. The Lord says to have faith, to respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and to read the Word about this, and He will help you.<\/p>\n\n

I do not leave you alone, says the Lord, not even in the battles you are fighting. I am with you, but many times some of you don\u2019t believe I am there while you are battling, and then your faith weakens, you lower your weapons and your guard, and the devil is able to attack you even more. You must believe, says the Lord, for that is what protects you most against the enemy\u2019s schemes.<\/p>\n

\n

[Matthew 8:9-10<\/a>] For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Cleanse your minds and learn to think with the mind of Christ, not with a carnal, demonic, or earthly mind. Stay alert and watchful at all times. Read My Word daily, meditate on it, and digest it in your spiritual stomachs. Sharpen your swords and always keep them ready, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

Stay strong by practicing the Lord\u2019s Supper, for this is one of the things that builds up and strengthens your spirit.<\/p>\n\n

Build each other up and protect one another, says God. Ask for help when you\u2019re under heavy attack and the Spirit tells you to do so.<\/p>\n\n

There are battles you win alone, and there are battles you win together. And if the Holy Spirit tells you to ask for help and you don\u2019t, you may not have victory in that particular battle. Perhaps out of pride you don\u2019t ask, and then the soldiers the enemy sends are stronger than you, and you can\u2019t win.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why I say again: the guidance of the Holy Spirit is crucial in every battle. Sometimes unity brings victory, and fellowship brings strength.<\/p>\n\n

Be wise and keep watch, not just at night but also during the day, says the Lord. Learn to recognize when something is an attack from the enemy, when it\u2019s a consequence of sin, and when it\u2019s simply a test you\u2019re going through. Recognize the different situations in your daily life, says the Lord, until you learn to discern which are attacks from the enemy and which are not.<\/p>\n\n

There are many things you call attacks that are not. It\u2019s not always the enemy attacking you, but another situation altogether.<\/p>\n\n

Ask for discernment of spirits, says the Lord, for this will help you in spiritual warfare, so you can know when it\u2019s an attack and when it\u2019s not, when it\u2019s a spiritual enemy and when it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n

Without discernment, you\u2019re partly blind. What you lack, ask for. What isn\u2019t sharp, sharpen it. Move, for you are in times of war and you need to defend yourselves and strike back.<\/p>\n\n

I have spoken to you because I love you, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s much more to know about this, but for today, for many of you, this is already rich and nourishing meat that you must now digest.<\/p>\n\n

I love you and I embrace you, says the Lord, and I am with you until the end of time.<\/p>\n\n

As I was speaking, I (Noelia) saw the coming of the Lord with all the saints. The Lord is coming to judge the world, to fight and to make war.<\/p>\n\n

There are spiritual battles taking place in the heavenly realms that we know nothing about. Many times, when we\u2019re fasting, crying out, praying, and asking for something specific, battles are being fought just like the ones the Lord revealed to Daniel when he fasted for 21 days.<\/p>\n

\n

[Daniel 10:12-13<\/a>] Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

There are spiritual struggles that happen as we walk through life, and we\u2019re not always aware of them. But if we do our part, as Daniel did when he fasted and kept crying out, the answer will come at the right time and will not be delayed.<\/p>\n\n

Understand that there is a part you must do, says the Lord. I\u2019m waiting for you to move, I\u2019m waiting for you to respond, I\u2019m waiting for you to train yourselves. I hope you\u2019re not ignorant in this any longer, but experts.<\/p>\n\n

I (Noelia) see the Lord handing out spiritual weapons to many of you, through angels who are visiting your homes right now. You\u2019re receiving different kinds of weapons. Receive them by faith and use them by faith.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord also tells me not to ignore the fact that sometimes we think we\u2019re fighting alone, but there are entire heavenly armies fighting for us, if we do our part and fulfill the role God expects from us in certain spiritual battles.<\/p>\n\n

Maybe in the natural we\u2019re fighting alone, but in the spirit, God sends legions to fight for us against the attacks of the enemy.<\/p>\n\n

We don\u2019t need to see, but to believe, the Lord repeats. That is the main key: keep your faith high and always believe God.<\/p>\n\n

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for this bread. All the glory and honor to You, Father of glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
