Psalms 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

chapter 5 “Agents of Satan”
Satan employs men and women as agents to induce to sin and make it attractive. To these agents he faithfully educates them to disguise sin in order to be able to destroy more successfully the souls and strip Christ of His glory. Satan is the greatest enemy of God and man. He transforms by his agents in angel of light. In the Scriptures he is called a destroyer, an accuser of the brothers, a deceiver, a liar, a tormentor, and a murderer. Satan has many servers, but he is most successful when he can employ those who profess to be christians to do his satanic work. And the greater the influence, the higher the position, the more knowledge they profess of God and of His service, the greater the success with which he will be able to employ them. Whoever leads another to sin is his agent. {4TS 25.1}
Saved from temptation
I direct myself to our brothers. If you draw near to Jesus, and try to adorn your profession with a well-ordered life and pious conversation, your feet will be kept from straying into forbidden paths. If you will only keep vigil, keep vigil continually in prayer, and only do everything as if you were in the immediate presence of God, you will be saved from falling into temptation, and will be able to wait to carry until the end a pure life without spot or contamination. If you hold firm to the end the beginning of your confidence, your ways will be affirmed in God, and what grace began, will crown the glory in the kingdom of our God. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, meekness, temperance; against such things there is no law. If Christ is in us, we will crucify the flesh with its affections and concupiscense. {4TS 25.2}
Testimony: 09-04-2018
Beloved, September 4, 2018. In dreams I was taken to many places in the world where there were many deaths, to young people, children and adults. I saw how in the skys the evil hosts were in charge of all this, and there was no escape, only under the wings of the Most High. I also saw many corpses next to each other that you could not walk among them and I also saw how they were piled up in a corner of a field while they made a pit with heavy machinery. Then I also saw how this machinery grabbed the dead and threw them into the pits, also at that time I saw bonfires, very large bonfires where these dead bodies in other places were burned, I saw many people running, especially children and young people, they were very confused because neither authorities nor relatives or acquaintances could help them, only one thing was certain for them: their destruction. {Daisy Escalante: 09-04-2018 , en.p1}
In that I heard screams, pain, because there was only blood and plague, it was the order of the day, my companion told me: “it is time, only those who adhere to a ‘it is written’ will live.” At that moment I woke up. {Daisy Escalante: 09-04-2018 , en.p2}
Beloved brothers, I woke up with an anguish, an anguish that was too great because time is already upon us, the time is already up, and what we are seeing around the world are very sad, very painful things, they are things that we knew had to happen. But it hurts deep in our hearts, we must lift our heads and realize that the King of kings and Lord of lords soon, very soon we will see Him face to face, whether we are ready or not. {Daisy Escalante: 09-04-2018 , en.p3}
May God grant that each one of us are ready, and if before seeing Him some of us had to go down to rest for some reason or another, the most important thing is that we are sealed for salvation; Dear brothers, the property of God is the only one that the enemy cannot touch. Let’s hold on to Him, let’s hold on with fear, let’s hold on with trembling! beloved brothers, there is no escape in this world, the only thing we can do is trust in Jesus Christ, have faith in His protection, have faith in His care, it is the only way, our only escape comes from above, no one in this world can do anything for anyone, only Christ Jesus is the one who can free us from all the evil of the enemy, from everything he wants to do to us at this time. {Daisy Escalante: 09-04-2018 , en.p4}
Let us seek God with all our hearts, let us seek God in humiliation, in tears, in prayer, with a perseverance as if we were losing our breath and we were looking for Him with that impetousity, as when we lack oxygen, let us seek the Lord while He can be found beloved brothers! let us get right with God at all times and in all places, let us remember Jerusalem, let us remember Sodom and Gomorrah, let us remember Lot’s wife, all these things have remained, beloved, so that we realize what is the fate that will happen to the indolent, the one who is not really preparing for this time, very terrible things, even more than we see are those that are expected and our only solution and our only escape is that we are protected under the wings of the Most Hight. I pray to the Lord that this is a huge reality, a true reality in each one of us. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 09-04-2018 , en.p5}
Testimony: 02-01-2020 #02
February 1, 2020. “Pride makes God unable to touch us,” we were doing this study, and in a moment my mind got ecstatic, in thinking that God wants us to be like children so that we can go to heaven. I was thinking and meditating on this, when I heard His voice say: “when you had your small children, you planned their days, you directed them, they did not have any kind of concern about this; I am your Father, and if you allow Me to plan and direct your days, you will never have to worry, and so it will be revealed to you, in all its splendour the purpose for which you were created.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-01-2020 #02, en.p1}
Beloved, this was wonderful!, I meditated on these words and I overjoyed myself, it was as if droplets from heaven, of God’s eternal wisdom, reached my ears, and I praised and glorified the name of God for this! While I was ecstatic in these wonderful words that I heard, the voice continued saying: “many seek and long to know what they were made for, they draw plans and live their lives year after year looking for that which will fill them and give them a pleasant sustenance, they try their luck, and they live visiting fortune-tellers who whisper to them what their heart desires to hear; and I who thought them, formed them and brought them into existence, I am the only one that knows for what they were created, that which will make them feel accomplished and happy, and yet they do not want My words, nor do they seek My advice; He, to whom God pleases, makes him prosper with little effort, but the proud, with great weariness and great bitterness, his hard work brings him little profit with affliction of spirit.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-01-2020 #02, en.p2}
Beloved, God grant that each one of us be able to understand and deeply analyze these words of the Lord, so that we can straighten our paths, and we can seek the true path of peace, justice and love. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 02-01-2020 #02, en.p3}
Testimony: 03-26-2021
March 26, 2021. The word of the Lord came to me saying: “from fidelity to betrayal, and from peace to war. The first betrayal occurred in heaven, where everything was perfect. There, didn’t exist reason for this, but a being harbored envy for desiring what did not correspond him. Like this, he opened the door to murmuration, through discontent. And this formed a chain of greed that creates nonconformity until this day. This evil, which goes unnoticed —and called by many ‘almost without importance’—, is the seed of all evil prevailing today on planet earth. Men and women, whether children, young or old, live their lives in discontent for what they do not have. Irreverence to God, and detachment from Him, creates disloyalty, disrespect and irresponsibility in human beings,” that we have before the ETERNAL. {Daisy Escalante: 03-26-2021 , en.p1}
God grant that we can understand the deepness of this. That we can analyze each word, each phrase. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 03-26-2021 , en.p2}
