Jeremiah 4

1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

Promises for the Last Days (PUD) Ch. 33 “Promises for the Tested"2

Testimony: 07-29-2017 #01

Dear brothers, today is July 29, Saturday July 29, 2017. I want to share a dream that I had at dawn today.

I was in a place with my family and other brothers, it was the top of a mountain, there were three stadiums, and these stadiums were linked as by bridges that we could pass from one side to the other. It was Saturday in my understanding because in the different places, in the different stadiums, these which were three; Saturday activities such as Sabbath school, divine worship, and others were taking place, so I could appreciate that it was a Saturday. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p1}

In the first stadium, they were giving Sabbath school, there was a lot of controversy for different ideas imposed by those in the hierarchy and other people who debated; So as we saw that demonstration, in that place, we did not like it, so we began to walk along one of the bridges, {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p2}

my family and other brothers who were with us and we went to the second stadium.

There we began to see that there were young people and young adults, so when we stayed a moment to see what was taking place there, we began to listen to strident music, the lyrics spoke of God, but the music was total and absolutely mundane, so we said: “we can’t stay here.” So we went out the door and walked to the next bridge to get to the third stadium, there we saw a person who was preaching when I realized, I saw that he was a pastor, he was preaching, he was speaking as incoherent things, like: ‘we are fine,’ ‘God is with us,’ ‘we are in victory.’ Things like that, and I said: “but how can he be saying that if we have left the two previous stages? and look at what we saw! And, look at what he is preaching!” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p3}

Then, suddenly, while I was saying this to the people who were with us, the clothes of that pastor who was preaching fell off and he was left in his underwear, and we ran out of there and quickly looked for the exit; And as this was like on the hill, on top, we began to go down. Then when we went down the mountain we saw a boat, and we asked the captain to please take us to the other side of the river because we no longer want to be there in that place. So he told us: “sure, but hurry up! Because, whenever people come down from those stadiums, some soldiers follow them and if they catch them, they don’t come back, and hurry up because there they come!” So when he said so, he pointed to the mountain above where we had come down from, and there we saw three soldiers coming after us. So we ran to the boat and it began to turn to retreat from the shore, when we saw the soldiers jump into the water, and they began to swim strongly towards the boat, and I saw when they boarded it. Then we began to fill ourselves with fear, I was very afraid and we looked for a place to hide; and I went behind a table that was there in the boat, and when I bent down, I saw one of these soldiers, I saw how one of them entered the captain’s cabin and took command; and another was going to where I was, so I was very scared, but suddenly I realized that behind me there was something that was breathing; I felt a breath very close to me, on my back. So when I turn around, I see a lion, an adult lion, it was beautiful! he was sitting. Then his eyes stared at me fixedly, and I also stared into his eyes fixedly, but his eyes weren’t like animal eyes, they were like human eyes and he was looking at me with tenderness. So at first I was scared when I saw him, because of the impression, but then when I saw his eyes that emanated tenderness, I began to feel peace. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p4}

Then the lion got up, and fell on the soldier who was coming towards me, he threw him to the ground and he stopped moving, I didn’t see him move anymore. Then I saw how, this lion also, passed towards the control cabin and attacked the soldier who had turned the ship, and passed the command to the captain who they had taken out of that place. So then, he went where the other group that was scared, because they were there instigating by another soldier, he attacked this soldier and so we could continue safely to the other side of the river. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p5}

So when I looked, there in that place, I saw how we were able to get to the other side of the river; and when we got there, on the other side of the river, they kindly said goodbye to us and told us: “keep going down that road and don’t get off it.” So we kept going up, and so we did, we started going up, suddenly I turn back and say: “let me see where the boat is going.” So when I look back to see the boat, I see the lion coming behind us. So I kind of got desperate and told my family and the brothers who came with us: “we must go back, the lion came with us! he is from the boat, they will think that we are taking him, let us return him! But then, while I was talking about that to the people who were with me, suddenly a person in front of us started to greet us and said: “hello, welcome, come, come!” Then we saw some groups of people there in that place; When they welcomed us, some were just sitting on the ground, but they were crying, some were even alone in some corners sitting there and they were crying very hard, crying without stopping, and although they had their hands on their faces I saw how their tears fell down on the ground. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p6}

So, I asked the person who greeted us, who welcomed us, why were they crying? Then he answered me: “they know they must be here, but having left everything is very hard for them, this is phase one, it is the most difficult phase.” Then I saw, in that place, fields ready to plow, but nobody did it because everyone was suffering, everyone was crying. Besides that, in that beautiful place, I saw some small huts, but no one in them, because they were all outside and they were crying with this pain. And when I looked in that place, I saw signs in different places that said: “station number one.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p7}

Then, when we got to the man who received us, I told him: “the lion came with us and he belongs to the ship, so I want to return him, we have to return to take him to the ship.” But the man smiled at me and told me: “the lion always accompanies those from station 4, whenever we see the lion going down with people or someone who goes down, and goes to station 4, well the lion goes with them.” So I asked him: “what is that about station 4?” And he told me: “come and see.” Then he took me to the tour of the station where we were, station number 1. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p8}

Then, when I saw everything that was in that station, I could realize that it was a place, that was very beautiful, a very quiet place, but the people even though the place was quiet, they were crying. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p9}

But he told us: “don’t worry, you have to go your way.” Then he gave us water to drink and showed us the way we had to follow and we said goodbye and went up the road. So while we were leaving that place I could hear someone who said: “look, the lion is with them, they are from station 4.” So for some reason everyone there knew what the lion symbolized, except us. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p10}

So we continued on our way and soon another character began to greet us, next to him there was a sign that said: “station number 2,” I could appreciate it at that time. And we arrived and he very kindly proceeded to show us the area of that camp, very kindly he took us on a tour of the place and then we began to see that there were things that I had not been able to appreciate in the previous camp. I saw the little cabins again, they were the same, and we saw the field, it was plowed, it was very different from the previous field, and people were sowing. They were already calmer, but they looked a bit worried, so everyone was astonished when they saw the lion with us, and the guide told me: “they are already acclimating and will soon be happy.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p11}

So, after this, they gave us water again and took us to continue the journey; He said goodbye to us and we continued up the road, each time the road was narrower and higher; And when we were near the next station, another gentleman also came out to meet us, very kindly the gentleman took us on a tour of that place, just as they did in the previous stations. So I went by the sign again that said this time: “station number 3.” There were the same cabins, the same fields, but I noticed that now the people there, who were planting, were happy, and they showed us they themselves little plants that they themselves had cultivated, what they had grown, and that they were in the process of continuing to sow, sow. Then they began to tell us how they sowed, to explain how they did it. I saw that there was peace and security on their faces, and they were all very hard-working. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p12}

So our guide told us: “to come and see the cabins,” this time we went to see the cabins, but this time we saw them not only from afar but I was able to enter them, and when we entered I saw that inside the door, at the entrance There was a glass pitcher and a clay pitcher, they were full of water, and inside the cabins, I saw a matre [mattress] made of cloth that was like rolled up, which the guide told us that at night it was unrolled so that people could sleep and during the day they rolled them up again and they stayed rolled up. I also saw a small table and there were three books there, so I went quickly to see them and I could see that they were the Bible, the Spirit of Prophecy and the old Hymnal, and I was happy! and I pick to see them. I was also able to notice that there was a tray with bread at one end of the hut, and when we left the hut, when we were taken, I could see that each hut next to it had three stones, simulating like a fire pit and a small pile of firewood. So the cabins were small and with only that, which was the only thing they had, apart from the crops, they looked happy. So I asked the character who was guiding us what did they eat every day? And he told me: “soon you will know.” Then he directed us to the road and told us to continue because our day was going to end soon, because the next station was ours. So he said goodbye to us joyfully and so we continued on our way. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p13}

So we arrived a bit tired, because each time the slope was narrower and the climb more difficult, and they received us as before, and I could also see there, beloved brothers, a sign that said: “station number four.” Both the one who received us and the others who were there, showed that they were happy to see us and quickly took us to the cabins that we had to occupy by families, because each family had their own cabin. Then when I entered the cabin that my family and I had, I saw the same things as in the previous stations, there were only slight variations, there was only a large clay jug at the entrance and a small clay jug. The large pitcher was full of water, but the small one was empty. Then when seeing this our guide, in that camp he gave us some instructions, and he told us: “be very attentive, take this bag of seeds, and every morning you must sow on that side of the field, and he pointed out to us the place that was assigned by families.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p14}

Then he told us that each one had his planting already stipulated and that according to how they worked and sowed, they were going to reap. Then he continued telling us that we must remember that every day, every day we had to eat what we sowed and that if we did not sow then we would not have to eat. So I remembered at that moment, when he said that, of the bread table that I saw in the previous station, but when I looked around there, I didn’t see it, I couldn’t appreciate it. But when I finished looking, to see if I could see the bread table, the guide continue telling us: “every morning, families make their family worship in their huts, and then they go out to the field. But in the evening, they all gather in that place,” and he pointed out to us, and when he pointed out the place, I saw a plain, it was made of dirt and grass and the seats were logs, tree trunks that had been cut down and were in that place. Then he told us that it was on those logs that we sat for the evening worship of thanksgiving to God, that’s where we would meet. So when I went out and walked around the camp a bit, I could see another variant, the cabins were much further apart than in the previous station, they were no longer so close together. So night came, all the families went to that place where he had told us that we were going to meet to have the evening service, the thanksgiving service, and I could see there in that place that they prayed, that the word of God was read, the spirit of prophecy, hymns were sung, and large parts of the psalms, and other parts of the Bible, were recited from memory. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p15}

Then each of us thanked God for the care and provision of each day, and before finishing all this, and praying for each one to go to their cabins, a man stood up and said to us: “brothers remember the sign, when you see it, let’s get ready.” Then I asked in amazement: “what sign? What sign? what are you talking about? I do not know.” So there, at that time, they told me that when we saw lights coming down from the sky to the plains, we should get ready to go out. So I stayed with that, thinking about it, but we went to sleep. Then I said, meditating: “what could that be? What were those words? What do they mean?” Then, well nothing, I fell asleep. And early the next day, after family worship, we went out to sow and saw in our field that there were spikelets with seeds and we were happy and we began to eat! and we said: “who would have planted this? If, yesterday when they showed us the place there was nothing planted! but thank you Lord!” we were there grateful , gleaning the seeds and eating. So we also went to the river in search of water with the small pitcher and we also planted a part of the parcel that had been assigned to us. So I thought: “what I am sowing now is going to take a long time to germinate,” but for some reason the peace and harmony and happiness were so much and so much in that place that I stopped worrying. So the day ended with evening worship and again listening to the signal and we went to bed. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p16}

So we got up the next day and after worship, when we went out to the field, we saw there that everything sown the day before already had fruit, and so we sowed every day, the day before, and that which we sowed was the next day’s food, and we were so amazed and so happy at what God was doing for us day after day in that place! There I could see that there was no room for idleness, we all worked all day and only in the afternoon for worship did we meet, to praise and glorify the name of God. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p17}

So we went to sleep and when it was late, some characters dressed in white appeared at the door of each cabin, and they told us: “the hour has come, get ready!” Then we all went out and I could see when I left the cabin that others were coming out as well, and we were going up the mountain in a row and they told us: “it’s time,” so I asked: “is it time for what?” “Camp 5 is waiting for you.” So I said: “but how? everything we have sown and everything, everything will be staying here, what is going to happen?” But they all followed that path, so I started to follow it too. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p18}

We were taken all night, we almost arrived at dawn at camp 5 when I could see the sign that said: “camp 5.” And there I could see another variant, there the cabins were even smaller, and they were even much further one from each other, to the point that if we didn’t look for them, we wouldn’t see the neighbor’s cabins. So there on the first day we were provided with food, but from the second day onwards everything was very similar to camp 4. Only for a few variations, the water was further away, the planting field was harder, more hostile, it did not grow as much as In the one before, the land was more difficult and we had to work more for our daily food. So this led us to pray more and seek more of God because that place was more difficult. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p19}

Thus, the days and nights passed, when one night, after worship and going to our huts, we saw the lights of the sky coming down to the plains. Then we immediately heard a voice: “it’s time, get out! it’s time, get out!” So for some reason, we already knew what to do, so we all ran down the mountain and went to the plains. We saw many people there and began loudly to proclaim the last warning message to this world very bluntly! some listened and came to the group and began to proclaim the same message as we did, but most looked at us and became angry. Then soon we heard a voice that said, very loud: “enough, get out!” Then we all ran back to the mountain, now the group was bigger, as those who heard and accepted the last message joined in, and we all ran with force. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p20}

When suddenly, I was able look behind me, to see, according to me to look at all those who came behind me, also running in my same direction, from our group. But when I looked, what I realized was that I saw men who were enraged, and they were following us up the mountain. Then I saw them very close, very close to us! and I said: “Lord, please help us, help us, because they are going to catch us! this mountain is very difficult to climb, and I already feel that I have no strength!” Then suddenly, when we were there in that place, well then, we saw how the mountain began to light up, the mountain began to have lights in different places, so when I look to see good at those lights, I began to see that they were angels, then many of these angels ran past us down the mountain and attacked these people who came to harm us, but others were directing us up the mountain to places where only they knew where they were going. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p21}

So we continued climbing with those who were directing us and soon we reached to certain places very steep, very difficult to reach, but we arrived like some caves. So I could see that in the different mountains around where I was, there were different caves, then in groups they would enter us there, and when they entered us there, well we felt safe, a little tired, a little agitated but safe because two Angels stood in front of the door of the caves and there we felt that nothing and no one could get there to harm us. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p22}

Suddenly while we were there, when we felt safe there, in the middle of the night there was a roar and a very bright and very strong light, then I ran to the door of the cave and asked one of the angels: “He is coming! right? Is Jesus who is coming?” Then he answered me: “yes, yes, our King of kings and Lord of lords is coming!” Then I began to cry, I knew that everything was over, no more pain, no more death, no more persecution! we were already there sealed and guarded by our great God and his marvellous kingdom! Then I felt so happy, so happy! we all started crying there, we felt our hearts coming out! We all looked at each other when the angels said they had to go. So we said to them: “but how? How is it you are leaving?!” Then they told us: “yes, we have to go, we have to go to be part of the angelical choir, we have to be there when Jesus comes, He is coming and we have to be part of that angelical choir, but we see each other right now, don’t you all worry, we’ll see you right now!” Then they smiled at us and said: “Peace, it’s all over.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p23}

We were so happy, beloved brothers! we saw when they went to heaven to be part of the great choir that could be heard and seen in the clouds. This so marvelous! we were all happy and we knelt and praised the one who lives forever and ever! At that moment while we were there in that adoration, in that very solemn moment, seeing that our God was already coming in the clouds of the heavens, and that everything was going to end now, all the suffering, all the crying, all the pain. I heard a voice that said to all of us: “Going shortly, going shortly.” So when I heard that, I said: “Going shortly, going shortly, what does this mean?” And I heard the voice again even louder and more clearly and the voice said to me: “tell them that everything is ready, to get ready because I’ll be back very soon.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p24}

At that moment, beloved, I woke up. With a joy in the blessed hope of salvation, and with the burning desire in my heart that each and every one of us can be a part of this marvellous salvation. God help us all to get there! God help us all to go through the process that God wants each of us to go through so that we can perfect this character to meet Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven. May God bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 07-29-2017 #01, en.p25}

Testimony: 05-05-2018

Beloved, May 5, 2018. I never give titles to dreams, or anything, but at this moment it came to my mind, when I meditated on this dream, I put it “The facets.” Because I saw various facets of humanity described in this dream. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p1}

I was in a huge house with many rooms, and there were four ladies in it. One of them was a baby, a girl who was approximately eight years old, a teenager, and a woman who could already give birth. I was shown the facet of each one in its development and how they were infested by the enemy of souls. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p2}

I saw how the baby cried, this baby cried bitterly because she could not walk like the eight-year-old, and at that moment I also saw how the 8-year-old girl fought to imitate the adolescent, and I saw how the adolescent envied the woman for being more autonomous and be able to give birth. There was a terrible rivalry in them and they could hardly leave their rooms without showing their rivalry suits. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p3}

Then at that moment, while looking there, I saw that that house was very large, but at this moment a tall man entered, who was walking around said house, and each one of the women there, in their different facets, struggled to call the attention to the man, but He locked Himself in a room alone and said: “none is ready to be ‘my beloved.'” At that moment I saw how all those women, in their different facets, got so angry that they planned to get Him out, but I saw how that man remained immovable in His place. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p4}

At that moment a fifth female entered, this was a young woman, and when she entered the living room of that house she cried and said aloud, hitting her chest: “miserable of me, miserable of me!” She carried a book with her and began to read, and as she read it her tears rolled down her cheeks and she seemed to have no consolation. The positive qualities of this young woman were made known to me; she was tender as a baby, she was innocent as a child, she was thoughtful as teenagers should be, and she was a young woman who yearned to know the truth in its entire purity. She kept reading the book and the more she read, the more she cried and her anguish grew. In those crucial moments of anguish, I saw how the tall man left His room, and came to the room where this young woman was and asked her: “what are you reading?” Then she answered Him: “I read the book of books, and accuses me of evil, but I can’t take it from me.” To which the man replied: “don’t worry.” He held out His hand and said: “Come with me.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p5}

I saw how He took her room by room and showed her the qualities of the other women. “The baby,” He told her, “was conceited and possessive, only wanting her own pleasure to get away with what she wanted, and manipulating with her rampant crying.” Then He took her to the girl’s room and told her: “she seemed friendly in order to attract attention and feel important, but when she couldn’t, she was an enraged beast.” Then He took her to the teenager’s room, and told her: “her coquetry was her weapon and she used it to live as she pleased without restrictions.” Then He took her to the woman’s room, and told her the following: “her seduction was such that you could not even look at her for long, its seductive, destructive and flattering power.” Said the man: “there is no place for them in my kingdom.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p6}

At that moment, the young woman fell on her knees to the floor and exclaimed: “miserable of me, miserable of me!” But at that moment the gentleman picked her up and led her back into the room and said: three things; “scrutinize, internalize, and live according to it.” At that moment the gentleman withdrew and went to a corner of the room, there was a trash can, I saw Him bend over and from there He took out a book and cleaned it from the external garbage and handed it to the young woman in the room. He said: “miserable of the man who thinks he is taking his right path but his end is the way of death because without prophecy the people goes uncontrolled.” I saw the book, it was a Great Controversy and He opened it to page 572 where chapter 33 is, the Snares of Satan. Then He said: “search and put into practice and you will obtain the crown of life.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p7}

Then this man withdrew, and went to a disorganized bookcase that was in a corner of that huge room, and from there He took out a book and brought it to the young woman who could not stop reading amazingly the title of that chapter. He said: do you want to live in a heavenly atmosphere? There everything is a song of joy and praise for the eternal wonders that surround them. Then the young woman took the book, opened it and He pointed to a page, and my eyes slipped to said page and when I looked He was pointing to hymn number 92: “no one can ever separate us.” He sang with her, this man had a voice, beloveds!, so sublime, so deep!. In those moments of deep inspiration, the room was filled with Sublime Angels, all forming a harmonious heavenly song, beloved, this was wonderful, to see that angelic host that rejoiced with said hymn!. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p8}

So when finished, this wonderful hymn, when they all began to sing that was so precious, there were so many voices, but all in such perfect harmony, when they began to sing, that was tremendous beloved brothers, but when they finished, they all disappeared, and only the man and the young woman remained. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p9}

Then there, this gentleman began to give ordinances, and said: “read the bible and the spirit of prophecy, sing praises from the hymnal that you already know is correct.” She asked: “which is?” And He said: “the old hymnal.” He also said: “work hard in the fields without murmuring.” He told her: “pray seven times a day on your knees, fast frequently, observe my Saturdays, each day more, be more jealous of my Saturdays, study the sanctuary.” He also told her: “do not live thinking about the future because yours is the now, do good to all even those who abuse you, love your God above all else, and treat your neighbor as you wish to be treated.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p10}

Then in those moments beloved He paused, and tenderly began to speak, and asked her a question: who saves? He Himself answered: am I not the one who died on the cross? Beloved brothers, then He showed her His hands, His pierced hands and His holes in His feet. At that moment I fell before that scene, because a radiant light flashed through His hands and feet, and my knees left me, and I saw how the young woman also fell at His feet and worshiped Him. He picked her up and told her: your mission is not to save anyone, and no one will be able to save you, just be a true herald and your life will serve to attract others to the path of salvation. He took the bible and opened it and read a text to her, there at that moment I looked, it was Psalm 6. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p11}

Then my companion told me: let’s go. We left and at that moment I was elevated on top of the globe, my sight sharpened as a telescope, and I could see that that young woman represented what was happening simultaneously around the world. My companion told me: and you will know the truth, and it will set you free. At that moment, beloved, I woke up, I woke up with the wonderful certainty, beloved brothers, that if we follow the instructions of our God to the letter, no soul will perish, so beloved, we do not have the luxury of not listening to the instructions, the ordinances of our God, so that we can be saved. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p12}

The Great Controversy (GC) Chapter 32—Snares of Satan

The great controversy between Christ and Satan, that has been carried forward for nearly six thousand years, is soon to close; and the wicked one redoubles his efforts to defeat the work of Christ in man’s behalf and to fasten souls in his snares. To hold the people in darkness and impenitence till the Saviour’s mediation is ended, and there is no longer a sacrifice for sin, is the object which he seeks to accomplish. {GC 518.1; CS.509.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p13}

When there is no special effort made to resist his power, when indifference prevails in the church and the world, Satan is not concerned; for he is in no danger of losing those whom he is leading captive at his will. But when the attention is called to eternal things, and souls are inquiring, “What must I do to be saved?” he is on the ground, seeking to match his power against the power of Christ and to counteract the influence of the Holy Spirit. {GC 518.2; CS.509.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p14}

The Scriptures declare that upon one occasion, when the angels of God came to present themselves before the Lord, Satan came also among them ( Job 1:6), not to bow before the Eternal King, but to further his own malicious designs against the righteous. With the same object he is in attendance when men assemble for the worship of God. Though hidden from sight, he is working with all diligence to control the minds of the worshipers. Like a skillful general he lays his plans beforehand. As he sees the messenger of God searching the Scriptures, he takes note of the subject to be presented to the people. Then he employs all his cunning and shrewdness so to control circumstances that the message may not reach those whom he is deceiving on that very point. The one who most needs the warning will be urged into some business transaction which requires his presence, or will by some other means be prevented from hearing the words that might prove to him a savor of life unto life. {GC 518.3; CS.510.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p15}

Again, Satan sees the Lord’s servants burdened because of the spiritual darkness that enshrouds the people. He hears their earnest prayers for divine grace and power to break the spell of indifference, carelessness, and indolence. Then with renewed zeal he plies his arts. He tempts men to the indulgence of appetite or to some other form of self-gratification, and thus benumbs their sensibilities so that they fail to hear the very things which they most need to learn. {GC 519.1; CS.510.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p16}

Satan well knows that all whom he can lead to neglect prayer and the searching of the Scriptures, will be overcome by his attacks. Therefore he invents every possible device to engross the mind. There has ever been a class professing godliness, who, instead of following on to know the truth, make it their religion to seek some fault of character or error of faith in those with whom they do not agree. Such are Satan’s right-hand helpers. Accusers of the brethren are not few, and they are always active when God is at work and His servants are rendering Him true homage. They will put a false coloring upon the words and acts of those who love and obey the truth. They will represent the most earnest, zealous, self-denying servants of Christ as deceived or deceivers. It is their work to misrepresent the motives of every true and noble deed, to circulate insinuations, and arouse suspicion in the minds of the inexperienced. In every conceivable manner they will seek to cause that which is pure and righteous to be regarded as foul and deceptive. {GC 519.2; CS.510.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p17}

But none need be deceived concerning them. It may be readily seen whose children they are, whose example they follow, and whose work they do. “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16. Their course resembles that of Satan, the envenomed slanderer, “the accuser of our brethren.” Revelation 12:10. {GC 519.3; CS.511.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p18}

The great deceiver has many agents ready to present any and every kind of error to ensnare souls—heresies prepared to suit the varied tastes and capacities of those whom he would ruin. It is his plan to bring into the church insincere, unregenerate elements that will encourage doubt and unbelief, and hinder all who desire to see the work of God advance and to advance with it. Many who have no real faith in God or in His word assent to some principles of truth and pass as Christians, and thus they are enabled to introduce their errors as Scriptural doctrines. {GC 520.1; CS.511.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p19}

The position that it is of no consequence what men believe is one of Satan’s most successful deceptions. He knows that the truth, received in the love of it, sanctifies the soul of the receiver; therefore he is constantly seeking to substitute false theories, fables, another gospel. From the beginning the servants of God have contended against false teachers, not merely as vicious men, but as inculcators of falsehoods that were fatal to the soul. Elijah, Jeremiah, Paul, firmly and fearlessly opposed those who were turning men from the word of God. That liberality which regards a correct religious faith as unimportant found no favor with these holy defenders of the truth. {GC 520.2; CS.511.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p20}

The vague and fanciful interpretations of Scripture, and the many conflicting theories concerning religious faith, that are found in the Christian world are the work of our great adversary to confuse minds so that they shall not discern the truth. And the discord and division which exist among the churches of Christendom are in a great measure due to the prevailing custom of wresting the Scriptures to support a favorite theory. Instead of carefully studying God’s word with humility of heart to obtain a knowledge of His will, many seek only to discover something odd or original. {GC 520.3; CS.511.4} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p21}

In order to sustain erroneous doctrines or unchristian practices, some will seize upon passages of Scripture separated from the context, perhaps quoting half of a single verse as proving their point, when the remaining portion would show the meaning to be quite the opposite. With the cunning of the serpent they entrench themselves behind disconnected utterances construed to suit their carnal desires. Thus do many willfully pervert the word of God. Others, who have an active imagination, seize upon the figures and symbols of Holy Writ, interpret them to suit their fancy, with little regard to the testimony of Scripture as its own interpreter, and then they present their vagaries as the teachings of the Bible. {GC 521.1; CS.512.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p22}

Whenever the study of the Scriptures is entered upon without a prayerful, humble, teachable spirit, the plainest and simplest as well as the most difficult passages will be wrested from their true meaning. The papal leaders select such portions of Scripture as best serve their purpose, interpret to suit themselves, and then present these to the people, while they deny them the privilege of studying the Bible and understanding its sacred truths for themselves. The whole Bible should be given to the people just as it reads. It would be better for them not to have Bible instruction at all than to have the teaching of the Scriptures thus grossly misrepresented. {GC 521.2; CS.512.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p23}

The Bible was designed to be a guide to all who wish to become acquainted with the will of their Maker. God gave to men the sure word of prophecy; angels and even Christ Himself came to make known to Daniel and John the things that must shortly come to pass. Those important matters that concern our salvation were not left involved in mystery. They were not revealed in such a way as to perplex and mislead the honest seeker after truth. Said the Lord by the prophet Habakkuk: “Write the vision, and make it plain, … that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2. The word of God is plain to all who study it with a prayerful heart. Every truly honest soul will come to the light of truth. “Light is sown for the righteous.” Psalm 97:11. And no church can advance in holiness unless its members are earnestly seeking for truth as for hid treasure. {GC 521.3; CS.512.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p24}

By the cry, Liberality, men are blinded to the devices of their adversary, while he is all the time working steadily for the accomplishment of his object. As he succeeds in supplanting the Bible by human speculations, the law of God is set aside, and the churches are under the bondage of sin while they claim to be free. {GC 522.1; CS.513.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p25}

To many, scientific research has become a curse. God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science and art; but even the greatest minds, if not guided by the word of God in their research, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation. {GC 522.2; CS.513.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p26}

Human knowledge of both material and spiritual things is partial and imperfect; therefore many are unable to harmonize their views of science with Scripture statements. Many accept mere theories and speculations as scientific facts, and they think that God’s word is to be tested by the teachings of “science falsely so called.” 1 Timothy 6:20. The Creator and His works are beyond their comprehension; and because they cannot explain these by natural laws, Bible history is regarded as unreliable. Those who doubt the reliability of the records of the Old and New Testaments too often go a step further and doubt the existence of God and attribute infinite power to nature. Having let go their anchor, they are left to beat about upon the rocks of infidelity. {GC 522.3; CS.513.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p27}

Thus many err from the faith and are seduced by the devil. Men have endeavored to be wiser than their Creator; human philosophy has attempted to search out and explain mysteries which will never be revealed through the eternal ages. If men would but search and understand what God had made known of Himself and His purposes, they would obtain such a view of the glory, majesty, and power of Jehovah that they would realize their own littleness and would be content with that which has been revealed for themselves and their children. {GC 522.4; CS.513.4} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p28}

It is a masterpiece of Satan’s deceptions to keep the minds of men searching and conjecturing in regard to that which God has not made known and which He does not intend that we shall understand. It was thus that Lucifer lost his place in heaven. He became dissatisfied because all the secrets of God’s purposes were not confided to him, and he entirely disregarded that which was revealed concerning his own work in the lofty position assigned him. By arousing the same discontent in the angels under his command, he caused their fall. Now he seeks to imbue the minds of men with the same spirit and to lead them also to disregard the direct commands of God. {GC 523.1; CS.513.5} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p29}

Those who are unwilling to accept the plain, cutting truths of the Bible are continually seeking for pleasing fables that will quiet the conscience. The less spiritual, self-denying, and humiliating the doctrines presented, the greater the favor with which they are received. These persons degrade the intellectual powers to serve their carnal desires. Too wise in their own conceit to search the Scriptures with contrition of soul and earnest prayer for divine guidance, they have no shield from delusion. Satan is ready to supply the heart’s desire, and he palms off his deceptions in the place of truth. It was thus that the papacy gained its power over the minds of men; and by rejection of the truth because it involves a cross, Protestants are following the same path. All who neglect the word of God to study convenience and policy, that they may not be at variance with the world, will be left to receive damnable heresy for religious truth. Every conceivable form of error will be accepted by those who willfully reject the truth. He who looks with horror upon one deception will readily receive another. The apostle Paul, speaking of a class who “received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,” declares: “For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. With such a warning before us it behooves us to be on our guard as to what doctrines we receive. {GC 523.2; CS.514.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p30}

Among the most successful agencies of the great deceiver are the delusive teachings and lying wonders of spiritualism. Disguised as an angel of light, he spreads his nets where least suspected. If men would but study the Book of God with earnest prayer that they might understand it, they would not be left in darkness to receive false doctrines. But as they reject the truth they fall a prey to deception. {GC 524.1; CS.514.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p31}

Another dangerous error is the doctrine that denies the deity of Christ, claiming that He had no existence before His advent to this world. This theory is received with favor by a large class who profess to believe the Bible; yet it directly contradicts the plainest statements of our Saviour concerning His relationship with the Father, His divine character, and His pre-existence. It cannot be entertained without the most unwarranted wresting of the Scriptures. It not only lowers man’s conceptions of the work of redemption, but undermines faith in the Bible as a revelation from God. While this renders it the more dangerous, it makes it also harder to meet. If men reject the testimony of the inspired Scriptures concerning the deity of Christ, it is in vain to argue the point with them; for no argument, however conclusive, could convince them. “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14. None who hold this error can have a true conception of the character or the mission of Christ, or of the great plan of God for man’s redemption. {GC 524.2; CS.515.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p32}

Still another subtle and mischievous error is the fast-spreading belief that Satan has no existence as a personal being; that the name is used in Scripture merely to represent men’s evil thoughts and desires. {GC 524.3; CS.515.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p33}

The teaching so widely echoed from popular pulpits, that the second advent of Christ is His coming to each individual at death, is a device to divert the minds of men from His personal coming in the clouds of heaven. For years Satan has thus been saying, “Behold, He is in the secret chambers” ( Matthew 24:23-26); and many souls have been lost by accepting this deception. {GC 525.1; CS.515.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p34}

Again, worldly wisdom teaches that prayer is not essential. Men of science claim that there can be no real answer to prayer; that this would be a violation of law, a miracle, and that miracles have no existence. The universe, say they, is governed by fixed laws, and God Himself does nothing contrary to these laws. Thus they represent God as bound by His own laws—as if the operation of divine laws could exclude divine freedom. Such teaching is opposed to the testimony of the Scriptures. Were not miracles wrought by Christ and His apostles? The same compassionate Saviour lives today, and He is as willing to listen to the prayer of faith as when He walked visibly among men. The natural cooperates with the supernatural. It is a part of God’s plan to grant us, in answer to the prayer of faith, that which He would not bestow did we not thus ask. {GC 525.2; CS.515.4} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p35}

Innumerable are the erroneous doctrines and fanciful ideas that are obtaining among the churches of Christendom. It is impossible to estimate the evil results of removing one of the landmarks fixed by the word of God. Few who venture to do this stop with the rejection of a single truth. The majority continue to set aside one after another of the principles of truth, until they become actual infidels. {GC 525.3; CS.516.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p36}

The errors of popular theology have driven many a soul to skepticism who might otherwise have been a believer in the Scriptures. It is impossible for him to accept doctrines which outrage his sense of justice, mercy, and benevolence; and since these are represented as the teaching of the Bible, he refuses to receive it as the word of God. {GC 525.4; CS.516.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p37}

And this is the object which Satan seeks to accomplish. There is nothing that he desires more than to destroy confidence in God and in His word. Satan stands at the head of the great army of doubters, and he works to the utmost of his power to beguile souls into his ranks. It is becoming fashionable to doubt. There is a large class by whom the word of God is looked upon with distrust for the same reason as was its Author—because it reproves and condemns sin. Those who are unwilling to obey its requirements endeavor to overthrow its authority. They read the Bible, or listen to its teachings as presented from the sacred desk, merely to find fault with the Scriptures or with the sermon. Not a few become infidels in order to justify or excuse themselves in neglect of duty. Others adopt skeptical principles from pride and indolence. Too ease-loving to distinguish themselves by accomplishing anything worthy of honor, which requires effort and self-denial, they aim to secure a reputation for superior wisdom by criticizing the Bible. There is much which the finite mind, unenlightened by divine wisdom, is powerless to comprehend; and thus they find occasion to criticize. There are many who seem to feel that it is a virtue to stand on the side of unbelief, skepticism, and infidelity. But underneath an appearance of candor it will be found that such persons are actuated by self-confidence and pride. Many delight in finding something in the Scriptures to puzzle the minds of others. Some at first criticize and reason on the wrong side, from a mere love of controversy. They do not realize that they are thus entangling themselves in the snare of the fowler. But having openly expressed unbelief, they feel that they must maintain their position. Thus they unite with the ungodly and close to themselves the gates of Paradise. {GC 526.1; CS.516.4} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p38}

God has given in His word sufficient evidence of its divine character. The great truths which concern our redemption are clearly presented. By the aid of the Holy Spirit, which is promised to all who seek it in sincerity, every man may understand these truths for himself. God has granted to men a strong foundation upon which to rest their faith. {GC 526.2; CS.517.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p39}

Yet the finite minds of men are inadequate fully to comprehend the plans and purposes of the Infinite One. We can never by searching find out God. We must not attempt to lift with presumptuous hand the curtain behind which He veils His majesty. The apostle exclaims: “How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” Romans 11:33. We can so far comprehend His dealings with us, and the motives by which He is actuated, that we may discern boundless love and mercy united to infinite power. Our Father in heaven orders everything in wisdom and righteousness, and we are not to be dissatisfied and distrustful, but to bow in reverent submission. He will reveal to us as much of His purposes as it is for our good to know, and beyond that we must trust the Hand that is omnipotent, the Heart that is full of love. {GC 527.1; CS.517.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p40}

While God has given ample evidence for faith, He will never remove all excuse for unbelief. All who look for hooks to hang their doubts upon will find them. And those who refuse to accept and obey God’s word until every objection has been removed, and there is no longer an opportunity for doubt, will never come to the light. {GC 527.2; CS.517.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p41}

Distrust of God is the natural outgrowth of the unrenewed heart, which is at enmity with Him. But faith is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it will flourish only as it is cherished. No man can become strong in faith without a determined effort. Unbelief strengthens as it is encouraged; and if men, instead of dwelling upon the evidences which God has given to sustain their faith, permit themselves to question and cavil, they will find their doubts constantly becoming more confirmed. {GC 527.3; CS.518.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p42}

But those who doubt God’s promises and distrust the assurance of His grace are dishonoring Him; and their influence, instead of drawing others to Christ, tends to repel them from Him. They are unproductive trees, that spread their dark branches far and wide, shutting away the sunlight from other plants, and causing them to droop and die under the chilling shadow. The lifework of these persons will appear as a never-ceasing witness against them. They are sowing seeds of doubt and skepticism that will yield an unfailing harvest. {GC 527.4; CS.518.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p43}

There is but one course for those to pursue who honestly desire to be freed from doubts. Instead of questioning and caviling concerning that which they do not understand, let them give heed to the light which already shines upon them, and they will receive greater light. Let them do every duty which has been made plain to their understanding, and they will be enabled to understand and perform those of which they are now in doubt. {GC 528.1; CS.518.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p44}

Satan can present a counterfeit so closely resembling the truth that it deceives those who are willing to be deceived, who desire to shun the self-denial and sacrifice demanded by the truth; but it is impossible for him to hold under his power one soul who honestly desires, at whatever cost, to know the truth. Christ is the truth and the “Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:9. The Spirit of truth has been sent to guide men into all truth. And upon the authority of the Son of God it is declared: “Seek, and ye shall find.” “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine.” Matthew 7:7; John 7:17. {GC 528.2; CS.518.4} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p45}

The followers of Christ know little of the plots which Satan and his hosts are forming against them. But He who sitteth in the heavens will overrule all these devices for the accomplishment of His deep designs. The Lord permits His people to be subjected to the fiery ordeal of temptation, not because He takes pleasure in their distress and affliction, but because this process is essential to their final victory. He could not, consistently with His own glory, shield them from temptation; for the very object of the trial is to prepare them to resist all the allurements of evil. {GC 528.3; CS.518.5} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p46}

Neither wicked men nor devils can hinder the work of God, or shut out His presence from His people, if they will, with subdued, contrite hearts, confess and put away their sins, and in faith claim His promises. Every temptation, every opposing influence, whether open or secret, may be successfully resisted, “not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6. {GC 529.1; CS.519.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p47}

“The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers…. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?” 1 Peter 3:12, 13. When Balaam, allured by the promise of rich rewards, practiced enchantments against Israel, and by sacrifices to the Lord sought to invoke a curse upon His people, the Spirit of God forbade the evil which he longed to pronounce, and Balaam was forced to exclaim: “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?” “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!” When sacrifice had again been offered, the ungodly prophet declared: “Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a King is among them.” “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Yet a third time altars were erected, and again Balaam essayed to secure a curse. But from the unwilling lips of the prophet, the Spirit of God declared the prosperity of His chosen, and rebuked the folly and malice of their foes: “Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.” Numbers 23:8, 10, 20, 21, 23; 24:9. {GC 529.2; CS.519.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p48}

The people of Israel were at this time loyal to God; and so long as they continued in obedience to His law, no power in earth or hell could prevail against them. But the curse which Balaam had not been permitted to pronounce against God’s people, he finally succeeded in bringing upon them by seducing them into sin. When they transgressed God’s commandments, then they separated themselves from Him, and they were left to feel the power of the destroyer. {GC 529.3; CS.519.3} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p49}

Satan is well aware that the weakest soul who abides in Christ is more than a match for the hosts of darkness, and that, should he reveal himself openly, he would be met and resisted. Therefore he seeks to draw away the soldiers of the cross from their strong fortification, while he lies in ambush with his forces, ready to destroy all who venture upon his ground. Only in humble reliance upon God, and obedience to all His commandments, can we be secure. {GC 530.1; CS.520.1} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p50}

No man is safe for a day or an hour without prayer. Especially should we entreat the Lord for wisdom to understand His word. Here are revealed the wiles of the tempter and the means by which he may be successfully resisted. Satan is an expert in quoting Scripture, placing his own interpretation upon passages, by which he hopes to cause us to stumble. We should study the Bible with humility of heart, never losing sight of our dependence upon God. While we must constantly guard against the devices of Satan, we should pray in faith continually: “Lead us not into temptation.” {GC 530.2; CS.520.2} {Daisy Escalante: 05-05-2018 , en.p51}

Psalms 6

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Testimony: 06-22-2019

Beloveds, June 22 2019. In dreams, I was taken to a place where we were looking to reunite. We were not carrying cell phones because they could no longer be used. I could see how young people, and some adults, clung to these devices and cried for them. I could hear them cursing the system that turned them off. I saw them like drug addicts – desperate for their drug at any cost, but cannot get it. Their meaningless lives were now leading them adrift. And I saw them as programmed robots, who now, without programming, did not know what to do. My companion said: “come and see.” I then saw a great mountain of young people, and some adults, who were obsolete to the present, existing time. These were not prepared to give with their faith the final battle. Said my companion: “They knew it, but they silenced their conscience. Everything that hindered them was their bitterest enemy. They did not see that truth, justice and mercy were passing before them. It will be too late for them to wake up,” He continued telling me. And again He said to me: “observe. At that moment I saw a young man, a dying young man staggering out of that mountain. And I encouraged him. I called out to him and said, “Run, run, run, the car is almost gone, come on, get on!” I saw him running exhausted and staggering. He was struggling to reach the car, but he couldn’t reach. At one he ran and with a cry of pain jumped up and grabbed the fender of the car, but he could not hold on, and soon fell to the ground and I saw him no more. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p1}

I suffered bitterly at not seeing that young man anymore. We continued in that bus, where what we were looking around us was all pain, it was a lot of sadness and desolation was seen. The scene changed and He said to me: “come and see.” I said: “Ah, Lord! My sadness is very great, grant me to see no more.” And He said to me, “You must see, only then can you understand.” Then I looked and saw many baskets of babies. These baskets were covered with blankets, so I began to uncover them. In them I saw children. Their faces were of adults, but the face of their body was that of a baby. There, as I uncovered them to see them, I saw many acquaintances and my being shuddered. I asked, “Why are they like this if they were adults?” And He answered me in a sad tone, almost crying, “They did not perceive the truth in front of them. It seemed hard, difficult and meaningless to them. They neglected everything spiritual and put their greatest attention to the material, and this is their result: they did not grow, remaining as spiritual babies, without strength. And if with those on foot they could not, how can they with those on horseback?” I wept bitterly, beloved, for them, but there was nothing more to do. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p2}

At that moment I woke up and was given two biblical quotations, “Jeremiah 3 and Jeremiah 4:2-3”. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p3}

Jeremiah 3

1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

Jeremiah 4:2-3

2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

Testimony: 11-14-2019 #01

Beloved, November 14, 2019. I had a dream, it was let me known that I should send it to a specific place. I did it like that. Then, they let me know that I should send it [in] general, because there are other prevailing situations, in the same way, in other parts of the world. So, fulfilling the mission, I share this dream with you. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p1}

In dreams I saw a camp. It was guarded by angels exalted in glory. It was a perfect circle around the camp. And I saw everyone in their daily activities, I could see them busy. I was ordered to approach them and listen, I listened to their thoughts, how terrible that situation was! I didn’t want to listen! Hearing what each human being thinks in the innermost being of them is horrible! The unconformity, discontent, envy, misgivings, withdrawal from the suffering of others, insensitivity, pride, anger, wrath, feeling a victim and believing oneself more than one’s neighbor, were those thoughts. Conceal hypocrisy is unacceptable before God, in any way it may be seen. This was let me know. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p2}

I saw how the circle of angels stopped making the perfect fence, and gaps opened between them. I said, “Oh Lord! Why, why this?” Then, I was let known that the aforementioned does not meet the requirements to have protection, and that only a total and absolute surrender, [will] the angels return to [make] a perfectly closed circle again, completely. I saw evil angels enter and seize people, animals, for the prevailing sins in that camp. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p3}

It was let me known that, for this reason, everyone in that place was committed to the bad that happens there. I was also allowed to know that there are people who, in their childhood, were dedicated to the enemy, sometimes without knowing it. And others who, even in their adulthood, have been struggling, working, exposing themselves with malignancies, and these persecute them. At night, they paralyze them to be able to ride them or to have them in a sleepy state, in such a way that they are all the time with fear, with oppressions. But they are people who are trying, [with] all they can, with all their might, to seek the Lord. But there are things that they still don’t understand. Things [to which they have been exposed, and [from] which need to be liberated in strong and solemn ways, with a divine help, total and absolute, and a total surrender to God, for this to happen. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p4}

I was let known that God knows these souls, who cry out for deliverance and who desire, deep in their hearts, that God could deliver them. While all this was being explained to me, it was let me known that we cannot play, in any way, with everything that we know comes from the enemy, but there are things that have not been detected, which are what allow these things to happen in the lives of these people. So, the enemy by deception, or people knowingly, have fallen for this and God wants to help them, He wants to give them their salvation. They are people who are in the camps, already in the mountains, who are suffering this type of situation, and the enemy does not want them to escape, because they know that they are in places where God can take control [of their lives] and is doing all the fight for this. I was let known that there must be a complete purification in these camps, to deal with this, because the tentacles of the enemy have reached everyone for the general sins that I mentioned at the beginning. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p5}

The Lord asks for 40 days of purification in all these camps: fasting, prayer, vigils, personal retrospective of each one. One should not allow oneself to half worship God. I was let know [that,] like the people of Israel in the desert before entering the promised land, [the remnant people] must purify their souls before God. And to do it [completely], well, only [obedience to all the] will of God is what He accepts, a half service is not acceptable. “There must be no legalism or phariseeism in your ranks, just an implicit obedience to an It Is Written, a theocracy.” {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p6}

“Get up before the sun rises and seek the Lord. And also at night. And in the day, between tasks, look for Him. Raise up holy hands to God and ask Him to show you how He sees you.” This is very important, beloveds. How God sees us is the only thing that matters; not how we see ourselves, or how others see us. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p7}

These are the instructions that God gave me, and I have nothing more to say. So, I trust in the Lord, that every situation that is happening, within the camps that now prevail in the mountains, may be, in the name of Jesus Christ, conquerors. And that all evil host can leave because, beloved, we are reaching a very difficult time. Every day that passes we get closer to the final test, and it is very, very important, for us, it is vital for each one of us, that the fence of the Lord’s angels is totally closed around us. May God grant that each one of us can be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus, and that we take our luck and cast it with Christ Jesus. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 11-14-2019 #01, en.p8}

Testimony: 08-05-2020

August 5, 2020. I was sitting in my living room and thinking about the immediate future and the physical, material, but above all spiritual preparation that we have to have at this time and in which we have to work hard day after day. Then I heard the voice of the Lord who said to me: “Daisy, why are you worried? Observe.” {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p1}

Soon, everything in front of me changed, then I saw the people of Israel; I saw them camping in a great plain and around there were some semi-mountains, and I saw that from there the enemy was watching them, instigated by the enemy of God and his evil angels. I realized that the people were surrounded by these enemies, I saw them observe every movement from a distance, soon I saw a roll of fire that fell to one side of the plain in the camp and this fire immediately surrounded the camp, and soon a great circle, -it was spectacular, it was huge!- it was like a fence, a wall around that camp; the wall moved like the needle of the clock, the second hand of the clock, thus in that way, thus in that speed it moved; I noticed everything I could, when I saw this; and soon, as I watched the fire, it turned from the color of fire to bright white. I was left with the brightness without seeing at a given moment, but when I was able to observe again, I saw that they were Angels exalted in glory who were all with their backs to the camp, in a perfect circle and each one had a drawn sword that pointed towards the front of each one of them. Then at that moment I exclaimed: “hallelujah, glory to You my God!” I felt so happy! because I saw the protection that was uniformly closed. {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p2}

So while I was watching this so glorious in front of my eyes, I was told: “observe even more.” I tried to look as much as I could, and I saw how those who were stalking, that were humans, they were with legions of angels; these angels were ugly compared to the exalted Angels; they looked spoiled, ill-fated, but their faces reflected hatred, despotism and cruelty; they were furious because this huge circle of Angels surrounded this camp. {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p3}

Then I was ordered to see again, and I saw that an Angel exalted in glory, took a few steps forward, and as soon as He stepped forward, the Angels who were at His side, with their swords facing forward, they covered the space of this Angel, who came out of the circle with His sword. This Angel advanced and I saw the evil angels retreat. {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p4}

I was then able to see beyond the wall of the exalted Angels, and I was able to observe a uniform attitude in that camp; hymns were heard everywhere, others prayed, others read the word of God and meditated on it; it was like a tide all over the camp, and they stayed that way day and night. {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p5}

Beloved, while I was observing these wonders, everything disappeared and I saw no more. Beloved brothers, how wonderful what the Lord lets us see! He lets us be witnesses so that we do not fear, and so that we know what attitude of consecration is the one that must constantly prevail in our lives, because only in this way will we be freed from the clutches of the enemy. God grant it be so in every camp and in every place, in every family. May God grant it be so. Blessings. {Daisy Escalante: 08-05-2020 , en.p6}
