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

My beloved, says God, My eyes look from My holy throne to every congregation where My name is spoken. My eyes move from right to left, observing the attitudes, the behaviors, and even the thoughts of My children, and I am finding a great deal of jealousy in My own house, jealousy against other brothers and sisters who come together in these meetings that are supposed to be holy. Jealousy, strife, and divisions: that is what abounds in My people in these end times.<\/p>\n\n

The sermons are like shows where you see yourselves as the main characters and do not give Me the central place. Many of you preach about Me as if I were the main character of the messages you share from those pulpits, says Jesus, but in reality it is not about Me; it is about yourselves, because you boast in yourselves, put yourselves first, and call attention to yourselves. You are like roosters showing their puffed-up chests. You are like peacocks spreading their tails so others will say, \u201cHow beautiful! How beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

My people have set Me aside, says Jesus. What you preach does not speak of My attributes and does not lead those who hear that word to seek Me more than they did before hearing it, but to seek you instead. My people push Me aside with their hand when they speak about themselves and not about Me.<\/p>\n\n

There is self-centeredness within the churches that preach My name, churches that are supposed to represent Me, says the Lord, but they represent Me poorly. Just as I came to earth to show who the Father was in Me, you should show who I am in you. But you do not conduct yourselves this way.<\/p>\n\n

You have gone astray, says the Lord, and instead of representing Me, many do the opposite: they put Me to shame, because their gospel is a mistaken gospel, a wrong gospel, a gospel mixed with theories taught by psychology, with techniques for attracting, manipulating, and controlling people through speech.<\/p>\n\n

Many have even studied how to speak before preaching the word they prepared, but the Holy Spirit was never there inspiring them, says the Lord. What many are doing when they speak about My things, about My Kingdom, about Me, is a facade; it is theater.<\/p>\n\n

My ears are tired of hearing your vain and puffed-up words that make people fix their eyes on the one preaching instead of lifting them toward Me and setting their gaze on heavenly things. And sometimes those who hear those words leave more carnal than they were before hearing them.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, says the Lord, wash your ears and do not feed on what they say when they boast in themselves, when they speak about how good they are, when they show off their gifts, not because they truly love Me or love their neighbor and want to serve them by using, practicing, and exercising those gifts, but to call attention to themselves and have people kneel at their feet.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, there is hidden vainglory in the children of My people, says the Lord, and you are buying into these diabolical techniques of manipulation and control, and you are falling into their traps without examining all things as Scripture commands you.<\/p>\n\n

Why do you not realize that the way they preach is different from the way I spoke? Why are you not weighing all those words in the light of what is written? Why do you not ask Me for discernment to separate the clean waters from the dirty waters?<\/p>\n\n

There are preachers who are jealous of Me, not jealous for Me, says Jesus, and they want to be greater than I am and preach with words loftier than the ones I used. And just as My own brothers once handed Me over because of jealousy and envy, the same story is repeating itself with these preachers who want to be greater than what the Father accomplished with Me.<\/p>\n\n

You need to repent of boasting in yourselves, says the Lord. You need to repent of glorifying these vain preachers, who are preaching in their own name as if they were preaching in My name, taking My name in vain.<\/p>\n\n

Noelia: The Holy Spirit shows me that one way of committing the sin of taking God\u2019s name in vain is to speak about Him in a way that gives a false impression of who He is, claiming to represent Him when in fact one does not represent Him at all. Taking His name in vain also means speaking about God without a sincere heart that truly loves and praises Him, doing so instead to draw attention to oneself rather than directing it toward Him.<\/p>\n\n

This is vanity, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

Besides this, there is so much jealousy among My people. These preachers are like athletes running on the same track, competing with one another to see who can do more, who can go farther. They even become jealous and envious of one another, watching to see who performed more miracles, who had more prophetic words fulfilled, who healed more people.<\/p>\n\n

This is vanity, vainglory, self-centeredness, selfishness. This is sin, says God. The Bible says, \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind,\u201d but they do not love Me when they preach or when they serve their neighbors; they love themselves first, making idols of themselves and turning their hearts away from Me.<\/p>\n\n

There is jealousy, envy, strife, and vainglory, and all of that leads to witchcraft, says God. And the Bible says that those who do these things will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n\n

Many of you need to repent of this, says the Lord, because you feel jealous of that sister who has a ministry, because you feel jealous of that pastor who now leads a group of sheep, because you feel jealous when someone can speak inspired by the Spirit of God and touch hearts, because you feel jealous of that brother or sister who sings to the Lord with the voice of a nightingale through that talent God Himself gave them, because you feel jealous of the one who has money, the one who is doing well, the one who has their own home.<\/p>\n\n

You are jealous and envious, says God, and you burn with jealousy, envy, and hatred over what someone else has, over what someone else achieved. You want to have what belongs to them. You do not want to be yourselves; you want to be them, despising the image I designed for each one of you in particular.<\/p>\n\n

You need to repent and honor My creation, that is, yourselves, says God. You need to honor the talents I gave to each one of you in particular. You need to honor the gifts the Holy Spirit has granted you and use them instead of longing for what your neighbor has.<\/p>\n\n

My friends, says the Lord, you are wasting time looking at someone else\u2019s tent. You are putting on shoes you are not prepared to walk in. You are wearing clothes that do not fit you.<\/p>\n\n

Noelia: The Lord shows me that some of you, in this season, have had dreams where you saw yourselves wearing clothes that were too big for you, shoes that didn\u2019t fit you well, walking on a path where you felt uncomfortable, entering an environment no one called you to enter, or going down a street where you ran into a wall and had to turn back.<\/p>\n\n

You are going down a road I did not send you on, says the Lord, and today I call you to return, because you look at your neighbor\u2019s path and think that is what you have to do.<\/p>\n\n

I have created birds of various sizes and colors, with different shapes, with different beaks, with different feathers, with different voices, and they all sing in a unique way. That is the richness of My creation, says the Lord. The birds do not envy one another and do not compare themselves with the other birds to see if they sing better or worse. They simply praise Me, using the instrument I have given them to praise Me naturally.<\/p>\n\n

You want to step out of your own skin and, if it were possible, step into the skin of that brother or sister you admire, or that artist you idolize, says God. You do not look in the mirror to appreciate what I have done in you, what I have given you, and you never find the value of your true identity, because you do not set your eyes on yourselves through the mirror of My Word, but on someone else.<\/p>\n\n

You are carnal and not spiritual, says God. You detest and do not love. You move away instead of coming together. You disconnect instead of being in unity.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, stop being jealous and envious, because this makes you sick, says God. That fire of jealousy eats away at your bones. Envy burns the heart, takes away your peace, and grieves the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Be humble and stop being jealous and envious. Find your own path. Find your own blessing. Develop the talents I have given you. Practice with the tools you already have.<\/p>\n\n

Noelia: The Lord shows me that many of you are like people who already own a bicycle, but don\u2019t use it because they don\u2019t value it, because they despise it. You watch someone pass by with another bicycle, and that\u2019s what you want, not what you already have. So, because you are not faithful in little, God doesn\u2019t give you more.<\/p>\n\n

Value yourselves and value others, says the Lord. You are all precious stones of different colors. You are all different. You are all special.<\/p>\n\n

I love you, says the Lord. That is the power of My creation: the diversity, the many forms, the many colors. You are all part of one body, but you are not all the same part of the body.<\/p>\n\n

Stop being jealous, says God, because many of you have not been able to develop in the very area where I want to use you to glorify My holy name in you, because you are not focused on your own path, but on the paths of others. How can you grow if, instead of watering your own plant, you water someone else\u2019s? How can a building go up if those who should build it are putting up someone else\u2019s building?<\/p>\n\n

You need to be wise and stop sowing in another field if I am calling you to sow in your own garden, says the Lord. But because of envy, jealousy, greed, vanity, and wanting to show off in front of others as if you were more important than you are, you do not grow or bless others with what you have or what you could have if you truly focused on yourselves.<\/p>\n\n

Today I call you to repent of being jealous of others, says the Lord. Today I call you to search your own hearts and recognize that if you truly dig deep into them, you will find envy, murmuring, hatred, disgust, because jealousy and envy are like the roots of a tree that bears many fruits that share the same color, even though they are not always the same.<\/p>\n\n

Jealousy and envy can be compared to a great highway that then branches off into many different roads, says God. It is like a spring that can feed different things.<\/p>\n\n

You need to stop this flow of sin in your hearts now, says the Lord. You need to stop coming home after the service or the meetings and speaking badly of the one you envy. Repent, and remember that My eyes range throughout the earth and that My angels observe what you say and write it down in their notebooks.<\/p>\n\n

The manifestation of My Spirit in you diminishes when you give voice with your mouths to what has already found room in your hearts, says the Lord. And afterward you complain that you cannot find My presence, you tell Me that I do not hear you, and you blame Me for many things that do not turn out well for you, not recognizing that your feet are going astray on this terrain and that you yourselves are opening the doors to the enemy so he can bring negative consequences into your lives.<\/p>\n\n

Sanctify your hearts, says the Lord. Purify your thoughts. Bless those you envy. Pray for those toward whom you feel diabolical, carnal, wicked jealousy. Sweep the floor of your house, removing all the filth that defiles you, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and I want your lips to speak good words, holy words, words that are like arrows that hit the mark, words that bear fruit for eternity.<\/p>\n\n

My beloved, sanctify your hearts, says God. Cleanse yourselves. Recognize these seeds of wickedness and pull them out before they keep growing in the soil of your minds, because I am coming for a holy people who love and do not despise, because I am coming for those who bow their heads to serve others.<\/p>\n\n

My people no longer wash one another\u2019s feet, says the Lord. My children no longer wash the feet of other children of Mine; instead, My people demand that their feet be washed by others.<\/p>\n\n

You need to change the way you think, because ministry is about service, surrender, consecration, sacrifice through love, and being available for others; it is not about receiving, but about giving. It is not about you, says the Lord. You need to decrease so that I can increase. You need to change the way you think, because the Church is just like the world.<\/p>\n\n

In the world, people do not preach about service, sacrifice, surrender, and giving of yourselves. In the world, people preach that you have to climb the ladder at work, in your career, that you have to earn a prestigious name for yourselves. The world preaches to you not to have children so that everything will be about you. The world teaches you that everything is about yourselves and not about Me or anyone else. The world puts you first, says God.<\/p>\n\n

But it is not only the world that preaches these things; these things are also said in My house: worship this or that prophet of the Lord, serve God\u2019s anointed one, respect the miracle-working speaker.<\/p>\n\n

The people who say they serve Me seek their own honor and seek human glory, but they have not considered that if they do not correct their ways, when their path on this earth ends they will not find glory from Me. They will not receive honor, because they already received it on earth. They will not have prestige among the angels of My Father, because they already had prestige before people. What reward is left for them to receive if they have already received it on this earth?<\/p>\n\n

While it is true that there is a principle about honoring parents, those who are in authority, the leaders I have established, says God, it is not the same as worshiping them; it is not the same as serving them in an idolatrous way.<\/p>\n\n

Little ones, be careful, says God. Be careful whom you invite to your congregations. Be careful whom you bring to minister to your own people, because there are people who come to eat those fish instead of feeding them. There are people who are after the pockets of My own people. There are people who come to promote themselves.<\/p>\n\n

All of this has to do with the competition that exists in My Church, says God, with jealousy and envy, and with this ministerial race among them to see who can go farther, faster, and do better, to see who has more renown, to see who is better known, to see who is more in demand.<\/p>\n\n

When you ask them to minister in your congregations, jealousy, vainglory, vanity, superficiality, and envy are destroying My people, and My people cannot tell who the wolves are, the ones who come to tear the sheep apart, and who the pastors are, the ones who come to truly serve.<\/p>\n\n

Do not feed those ministers who display their riches in order to be worshiped, to be served, to be recognized as if they were God, leaving Me out of those places, says God.<\/p>\n\n

This is a call to repentance given in truth and in love, so that you understand that if you continue on this path of jealousy, competition, and envy, if you do not correct this error first in your hearts, you will not only remain stuck, but the devil will take advantage of this and affect you in many different ways, says the Lord.<\/p>\n\n

Even though at times it seems that you bear much fruit for the kingdom of heaven, many of you are like a tree that is actually bare. Perhaps to fleshly eyes it looks like a leafy and fruitful tree, but if you look with the eyes of the spirit, you will see that it is a hardened tree whose branches have no leaves, a tree that is not capable of being fruitful for the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n

So right now, let everyone who has been convicted by this word repent\u2014everyone who has recognized that they felt bitter jealousy toward another person, envied what someone else has, and coveted it. Let everyone who remembers the words they spoke against those they envied repent. Repent of murmuring, because many have spoken badly of others simply because they wanted to be like them or have what they have.<\/p>\n\n

Repent, says the Lord, so that chains may fall off, so that burdens may be removed from your backs, so that curses may be broken in your generations through the righteousness you practice by repenting of this sin. Rejoice when someone else is blessed. Praise Me when someone is restored. Bless others when you see them prosper.<\/p>\n\n

Pray for those you feel distant from because of jealousy or envy, and you will receive healing; you too will receive blessing, says the Lord. But do not do it for that reason; do it because you want to be like Me.<\/p>\n\n

Wish the person who is doing well the best. Seek your own style. Know your own identity in Me and do not desire someone else\u2019s. Be genuine and honest. Cultivate what is your own. Work with what you already have and multiply it.<\/p>\n\n

I love you, says the Lord, but I am coming for a holy and spotless Church that has washed her garment and prepared herself without blemish to receive her Lord.<\/p>\n\n

Noelia: Amen. Thank You, Lord, for this word.<\/p>\n\n

Thank You, Jesus, the Son of God, the One the Pharisees handed over out of envy and jealousy, but who didn\u2019t answer or defend Himself; the One who, though He was the Son of God, possessing everything and dwelling in perfection, became man and came down to our level; the One who came humbly to serve and not to be served, to rescue many; the Jesus who did not curse, but blessed; the One who gave and did not take away; the One who gave Himself instead of demanding what others had; the One who came to bow His head and allow Himself to be beaten though He did not deserve it; the One who, though He was the Son of God, washed His disciples\u2019 feet, kneeling on the floor to give an example of service, love, and surrender for many.<\/p>\n\n

Lord Jesus, teach us to imitate Your example. Teach us to be great as You are great, but according to Your standard and not ours, because the world doesn\u2019t know what it is to be great and doesn\u2019t understand that our time to be recognized is not while we are on the earth, but when we enter Your presence eternally and forever.<\/p>\n\n

Lord, teach Your people that what matters is not that many people know our names on this earth, but that the angels mention our names regularly in heaven, near Your presence. Lord, deliver Your people from all hidden or open vainglory, because You don\u2019t look upon the proud, but upon the humble in heart. Lord, raise up men and women who preach according to Your example and not Satan\u2019s, who work according to Your pattern and not in a demonic way.<\/p>\n\n

Now I see factories where preachers are being produced, and they are all the same, like in Chinese factories, where millions of identical products are made, with the same shape, the same color, and a serial number.<\/p>\n\n

The Lord says that today\u2019s churches are like Chinese factories: they mass-produce preachers, following the same model, the same structure, and the same way of doing things, and they teach them things Jesus never taught and that are not in the Word.<\/p>\n\n

Those preachers are like ecclesiastical products, and they compete with one another because they don\u2019t know their value, because they never walked in the shoes God truly prepared for them, but in the shoes that men prepared for them.<\/p>\n\n

Those who don\u2019t understand who they are always need more, and these preachers generally don\u2019t know who they are. They only copy and repeat memorized phrases and mistaken biblical interpretations, and they believe their value is in recognition from people, in fame, in influence, in earthly worship.<\/p>\n\n

Pray for these servants who do not serve Me, but serve people or themselves, says God. They are like robots that want to please their owners.<\/p>\n\n

I will destroy these structures and I will raise up preachers of a different kind, says God, preachers who speak about Me and not about themselves, who glorify Me and not themselves; genuine, honest, and real preachers, as in the days of Jesus; disciples of Jesus and not of men, who are not like athletes who only want the medal, who want to beat the other person and be better than everyone else.<\/p>\n\n

Pray for this and have hope, says the Lord. Look for these precious stones that are like needles in a haystack: difficult to find, but not impossible. Open your eyes, discern hearts, and follow those who truly put Me first, who do not get angry, frustrated, sad, or furious when the other person is doing well.<\/p>\n\n

Look for these gold bars that are in churches, says God, but that are often silenced, muted, and quieted because they are seen as a threat to man-made structures that I did not establish.<\/p>\n\n

I am coming for a pure, holy, and spotless Church, says the Lord, for a Church that does not envy, for a Church that is not jealous and does not compete with other brides, but is secure in herself and loves her neighbor as herself.<\/p>\n\n
