Sabbath Delight
Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
The Acts of the Apostles (AA) Chapter 30 “Called to Reach a Higher Standard”
This chapter is based on the First Epistle to the Corinthians.
In the hope of impressing vividly upon the minds of the Corinthian believers the importance of firm self-control, strict temperance, and unflagging zeal in the service of Christ, Paul in his letter to them made a striking comparison between the Christian warfare and the celebrated foot races held at stated intervals near Corinth. Of all the games instituted among the Greeks and the Romans, the foot races were the most ancient and the most highly esteemed. They were witnessed by kings, nobles, and statesmen. Young men of rank and wealth took part in them and shrank from no effort or discipline necessary to obtain the prize. {AA 309.1; HAp.249.1}
The contests were governed by strict regulations, from which there was no appeal. Those who desired their names entered as competitors for the prize had first to undergo a severe preparatory training. Harmful indulgence of appetite, or any other gratification that would lower mental or physical vigor, was strictly forbidden. For one to have any hope of success in these trials of strength and speed, the muscles must be strong and supple, and the nerves well under control. Every movement must be certain, every step swift and unswerving; the physical powers must reach the highest mark. {AA 309.2; HAp.249.2}
As the contestants in the race made their appearance before the waiting multitude, their names were heralded, and the rules of the race were distinctly stated. Then they all started together, the fixed attention of the spectators inspiring them with a determination to win. The judges were seated near the goal, that they might watch the race from its beginning to its close and give the prize to the true victor. If a man reached the goal first by taking an unlawful advantage, he was not awarded the prize. {AA 310.1; HAp.249.3}
In these contests great risks were run. Some never recovered from the terrible physical strain. It was not unusual for men to fall on the course, bleeding at the mouth and nose, and sometimes a contestant would drop dead when about to seize the prize. But the possibility of lifelong injury or of death was not looked upon as too great a risk to run for the sake of the honor awarded the successful contestant. {AA 310.2; HAp.250.1}
As the winner reached the goal, the applause of the vast multitude of onlookers rent the air and awoke the echoes of the surrounding hills and mountains. In full view of the spectators, the judge presented him with the emblems of victory—a laurel crown and a palm branch to carry in his right hand. His praise was sung throughout the land; his parents received their share of honor; and even the city in which he lived was held in high esteem for having produced so great an athlete. {AA 310.3; HAp.250.2}
In referring to these races as a figure of the Christian warfare, Paul emphasized the preparation necessary to the success of the contestants in the race—the preliminary discipline, the abstemious diet, the necessity for temperance. “Every man that striveth for the mastery,” he declared, “is temperate in all things.” The runners put aside every indulgence that would tend to weaken the physical powers, and by severe and continuous discipline trained their muscles to strength and endurance, that when the day of the contest should arrive, they might put the heaviest tax upon their powers. How much more important that the Christian, whose eternal interests are at stake, bring appetite and passion under subjection to reason and the will of God! Never must he allow his attention to be diverted by amusements, luxuries, or ease. All his habits and passions must be brought under the strictest discipline. Reason, enlightened by the teachings of God’s word and guided by His Spirit, must hold the reins of control. {AA 311.1; HAp.250.3}
And after this has been done, the Christian must put forth the utmost exertion in order to gain the victory. In the Corinthian games the last few strides of the contestants in the race were made with agonizing effort to keep up undiminished speed. So the Christian, as he nears the goal, will press onward with even more zeal and determination than at the first of his course. {AA 311.2; HAp.251.1}
Paul presents the contrast between the chaplet of fading laurel received by the victor in the foot races, and the crown of immortal glory that will be given to him who runs with triumph the Christian race. “They do it,” he declares, “to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” To win a perishable prize, the Grecian runners spared themselves no toil or discipline. We are striving for a prize infinitely more valuable, even the crown of everlasting life. How much more careful should be our striving, how much more willing our sacrifice and self-denial! {AA 311.3; HAp.251.2}
In the epistle to the Hebrews is pointed out the single-hearted purpose that should characterize the Christian’s race for eternal life: “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” Hebrews 12:1, 2. Envy, malice, evil thinking, evilspeaking, covetousness—these are weights that the Christian must lay aside if he would run successfully the race for immortality. Every habit or practice that leads into sin and brings dishonor upon Christ must be put away, whatever the sacrifice. The blessing of heaven cannot attend any man in violating the eternal principles of right. One sin cherished is sufficient to work degradation of character and to mislead others. {AA 312.1; HAp.251.3}
“If thy hand cause thee to stumble,” the Saviour said, “Cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell.” Mark 9:43-45, R.V. If to save the body from death, the foot or the hand should be cut off, or even the eye plucked out, how much more earnest should the Christian be to put away sin, which brings death to the soul! {AA 312.2; HAp.252.1}
The competitors in the ancient games, after they had submitted to self-denial and rigid discipline, were not even then sure of the victory. “Know ye not,” Paul asked, “that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?” However eagerly and earnestly the runners might strive, the prize could be awarded to but one. One hand only could grasp the coveted garland. Some might put forth the utmost effort to obtain the prize, but as they reached forth the hand to secure it, another, an instant before them, might grasp the coveted treasure. {AA 313.1; HAp.252.2}
Such is not the case in the Christian warfare. Not one who complies with the conditions will be disappointed at the end of the race. Not one who is earnest and persevering will fail of success. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. The weakest saint, as well as the strongest, may wear the crown of immortal glory. All may win who, through the power of divine grace, bring their lives into conformity to the will of Christ. The practice, in the details of life, of the principles laid down in God’s word, is too often looked upon as unimportant—a matter too trivial to demand attention. But in view of the issue at stake, nothing is small that will help or hinder. Every act casts its weight into the scale that determines life’s victory or defeat. And the reward given to those who win will be in proportion to the energy and earnestness with which they have striven. {AA 313.2; HAp.252.3}
The apostle compared himself to a man running in a race, straining every nerve to win the prize. “I therefore so run,” he says, “not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” That he might not run uncertainly or at random in the Christian race, Paul subjected himself to severe training. The words, “I keep under my body,” literally mean to beat back by severe discipline the desires, impulses, and passions. {AA 314.1; HAp.252.4}
Paul feared lest, having preached to others, he himself should be a castaway. He realized that if he did not carry out in his life the principles he believed and preached, his labors in behalf of others would avail him nothing. His conversation, his influence, his refusal to yield to self-gratification, must show that his religion was not a profession merely, but a daily, living connection with God. One goal he kept ever before him, and strove earnestly to reach—“the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Philippians 3:9. {AA 314.2; HAp.252.4}
Paul knew that his warfare against evil would not end so long as life should last. Ever he realized the need of putting a strict guard upon himself, that earthly desires might not overcome spiritual zeal. With all his power he continued to strive against natural inclinations. Ever he kept before him the ideal to be attained, and this ideal he strove to reach by willing obedience to the law of God. His words, his practices, his passions—all were brought under the control of the Spirit of God. {AA 314.3; HAp.253.1}
It was this singlehearted purpose to win the race for eternal life that Paul longed to see revealed in the lives of the Corinthian believers. He knew that in order to reach Christ’s ideal for them, they had before them a life struggle from which there would be no release. He entreated them to strive lawfully, day by day seeking for piety and moral excellence. He pleaded with them to lay aside every weight and to press forward to the goal of perfection in Christ. {AA 315.1; HAp.253.2}
Paul pointed the Corinthians to the experience of ancient Israel, to the blessings that rewarded their obedience, and to the judgments that followed their transgressions. He reminded them of the miraculous way in which the Hebrews were led from Egypt under the protection of the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. Thus they were safely conducted through the Red Sea, while the Egyptians, essaying to cross in like manner, were all drowned. By these acts God had acknowledged Israel as His church. They “did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” The Hebrews, in all their travels, had Christ as a leader. The smitten rock typified Christ, who was to be wounded for men’s transgressions, that the stream of salvation might flow to all. {AA 315.2; HAp.254.1}
Notwithstanding the favor that God showed to the Hebrews, yet because of their lust for the luxuries left behind in Egypt, and because of their sin and rebellion, the judgments of God came upon them. The apostle enjoined the Corinthian believers to heed the lesson contained in Israel’s experience. “Now these things were our examples,” he declared, “to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.” He showed how love of ease and pleasure had prepared the way for sins that called forth the signal vengeance of God. It was when the children of Israel sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play, that they threw off the fear of God, which they had felt as they listened to the giving of the law; and, making a golden calf to represent God, they worshiped it. And it was after enjoying a luxurious feast connected with the worship of Baalpeor, that many of the Hebrews fell through licentiousness. The anger of God was aroused, and at His command “three and twenty thousand” were slain by the plague in one day. {AA 315.3; HAp.254.2}
The apostle adjured the Corinthians, “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” Should they become boastful and self-confident, neglecting to watch and pray, they would fall into grievous sin, calling down upon themselves the wrath of God. Yet Paul would not have them yield to despondency or discouragement. He gave them the assurance: “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” {AA 316.1; HAp.254.3}
Paul urged his brethren to ask themselves what influence their words and deeds would have upon others and to do nothing, however innocent in itself, that would seem to sanction idolatry or offend the scruples of those who might be weak in the faith. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.” {AA 316.2; HAp.255.1}
The apostle’s words of warning to the Corinthian church are applicable to all time and are especially adapted to our day. By idolatry he meant not only the worship of idols, but self-serving, love of ease, the gratification of appetite and passion. A mere profession of faith in Christ, a boastful knowledge of the truth, does not make a man a Christian. A religion that seeks only to gratify the eye, the ear, and the taste, or that sanctions self-indulgence, is not the religion of Christ. {AA 317.1; HAp.255.2}
By a comparison of the church with the human body, the apostle aptly illustrated the close and harmonious relationship that should exist among all members of the church of Christ. “By one Spirit,” he wrote, “are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. And if they were all one member, where were the body?
But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you…. God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked: that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” {AA 317.2; HAp.255.3}
And then, in words which from that day to this have been to men and women a source of inspiration and encouragement, Paul set forth the importance of that love which should be cherished by the followers of Christ: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” {AA 318.1; HAp.256.1}
No matter how high the profession, he whose heart is not filled with love for God and his fellow men is not a true disciple of Christ. Though he should possess great faith and have power even to work miracles, yet without love his faith would be worthless. He might display great liberality; but should he, from some other motive than genuine love, bestow all his goods to feed the poor, the act would not commend him to the favor of God. In his zeal he might even meet a martyr’s death, yet if not actuated by love, he would be regarded by God as a deluded enthusiast or an ambitious hypocrite. {AA 318.2; HAp.256.2}
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.” The purest joy springs from the deepest humiliation. The strongest and noblest characters are built on the foundation of patience, love, and submission to God’s will. {AA 319.1; HAp.256.3}
Charity “doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.” Christ-like love places the most favorable construction on the motives and acts of others. It does not needlessly expose their faults; it does not listen eagerly to unfavorable reports, but seeks rather to bring to mind the good qualities of others. {AA 319.2; HAp.257.1}
Love “rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” This love “never faileth.” It can never lose its value; it is a heavenly attribute. As a precious treasure, it will be carried by its possessor through the portals of the city of God. {AA 319.3; HAp.257.2}
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” {AA 319.4; HAp.257.3}
In the lowering of the moral standard among the Corinthian believers, there were those who had given up some of the fundamental features of their faith. Some had gone so far as to deny the doctrine of the resurrection. Paul met this heresy with a very plain testimony regarding the unmistakable evidence of the resurrection of Christ. He declared that Christ, after His death, “rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” after which “He was seen of Cephas, then of the Twelve: after that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also.” {AA 319.5; HAp.257.4}
With convincing power the apostle set forth the great truth of the resurrection. “If there be no resurrection of the dead,” he argued, “then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ: whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.” {AA 320.1; HAp.257.5}
The apostle carried the minds of the Corinthian brethren forward to the triumphs of the resurrection morn, when all the sleeping saints are to be raised, henceforth to live forever with their Lord. “Behold,” the apostle declared, “I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? … Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” {AA 320.2; HAp.258.1}
Glorious is the triumph awaiting the faithful. The apostle, realizing the possibilities before the Corinthian believers, sought to set before them that which uplifts from the selfish and the sensual, and glorifies life with the hope of immortality. Earnestly he exhorted them to be true to their high calling in Christ. “My beloved brethren,” he pleaded, “be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” {AA 321.1; HAp.258.2}
Thus the apostle, in the most decided and impressive manner, endeavored to correct the false and dangerous ideas and practices that were prevailing in the Corinthian church. He spoke plainly, yet in love for their souls. In his warnings and reproofs, light from the throne of God was shining upon them, to reveal the hidden sins that were defiling their lives. How would it be received? {AA 321.2; HAp.258.3}
After the letter had been dispatched, Paul feared lest that which he had written might wound too deeply those whom he desired to benefit. He keenly dreaded a further alienation and sometimes longed to recall his words. Those who, like the apostle, have felt a responsibility for beloved churches or institutions, can best appreciate his depression of spirit and self-accusing. The servants of God who bear the burden of His work for this time know something of the same experience of labor, conflict, and anxious care that fell to the lot of the great apostle. Burdened by divisions in the church, meeting with ingratitude and betrayal from some to whom he looked for sympathy and support, realizing the peril of the churches that harbored iniquity, compelled to bear a close, searching testimony in reproof of sin, he was at the same time weighed down with fear that he might have dealt with too great severity. With trembling anxiety he waited to receive some tidings as to the reception of his message. {AA 321.3; HAp.259.1}
Testimony: 04-01-2019
Beloved, April 1, 2019. In dreams I was on the bank of a river, it was a very wide river that I contemplated. In that river, I then saw a small boat approaching in the distance. I heard the one who was piloting the boat speak something loudly, but I did not understand. Then I looked behind me; I saw other people who were walking calmly through that place. The boat then kept approaching until I could clearly hear what the person that was aboard was saying. His words were: “advance! get on board!” {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p1}
So I began to tell everyone the message because I observed that none of them acted. I ran among everyone and began to repeat the message, at that moment I saw acquaintances and strangers look at me without action on their part. At that moment I looked towards the river and saw the one with the boat being very close but it did not touch the shore. I looked again back at the people calmly in the place near the river and suddenly I saw how a roaring and burning fire at the most, was coming towards us devouring everything in its path. Then at that moment I screamed with all my might: “get on, get on the boat!! get on the boat!” But they dazed, they ran everywhere except towards the boat, their senses were stunned and many were paralyzed by the situation and only shouted without moving. {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p2}
My companion told me: “get on the boat.” So I advance forward without delay and went up. The captain told me, without looking at me: “go and have a seat.” I asked: “what will happen to them?” He said: “take that mega phone and we’ll sail close to shore and tell them to get on the boat.” At that moment I did so and the captain began to navigate along the river bank, and I warned them through the mega phone. Many looked and said: “come to the shore so to get on.” To which the captain replied: “they must enter the water and get to the boat.” Some, very few, began to enter the water and struggled to enter the boat as the fire licked the ground as it passed and almost reached the shore. {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p3}
At that time, I saw a young acquaintance and I urged him to jump, since the boat was passing by a bank, which at the end of the bank of that river was high and I said to him: “jump, jump! Please jump!” But he dilated, he looked towards the rest of the shore that was lower to enter the water, but the fire was already in it, and in turn the fire was almost reaching him. Then I kept insisting: “jump!” but he delayed. At that moment I saw a strong wind that blew and a spark of fire hit the young man’s back, and I heard him scream in pain. I told him again with all my might: “jump, now only you are left, everyone else on the shore has already been consumed by the fire!” Then at those moments the young man jumped, and when he fell into the water he fell on a rock, and he was very injured and could hardly get up. The fire was coming down the shore wall toward the water where this young man was. Then the captain said: “let’s get closer! cover your faces and go behind the boat, at full steam we will get close to the young man and we will throw a life preserver at him.” He then did this way, he threw down the life preserver and this young man grabbed it, but his injuries did not allow him to advance. I threw on the rope to drag him, and so being able he could advance, we were able to move him away from the shore and the captain grabbed the rope with me and the young man was able to climb aboard. {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p4}
As the young man got on board, the captain addressed everyone and said: “this is the result of caressing the anathemas, these will be the perdition of many.” We were instructed to flee from the seven steps, which we have been told before, which are the ones that lead us to destruction. {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p5}
Beloved at that moment I woke up and was told “Psalm 9.” I leave this with each one of us so that we can examine what the Lord wants to say to each one and that we can by God’s grace, by His mercy! be forgiven and accepted in Him. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 04-01-2019 , en.p6}
Psalms 9
1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
Testimony: 06-21-2019
Beloved, June 21, 2019. In dreams, I was shown how human beings want to continue their course of life without measuring the consequences. And they fail to see that day after day what is measured is the character. The only thing that, if approved by God with His seal of perfection, we will take to heaven. Said my companion: “the defect of others will not be the downfall of another, but their own defect is the culprit of perdition. Seek with fasting and supplication [to be] cleaned from your own yeast. Ask [for] your salt to be of good quality because this alkalizes the body in such a way that the yeast cannot survive. Go on after the goal, praying that your vessel be made of new clay, so that it may be filled with the great measure of the oil.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p1}
“New wine will never be put into old wineskins, for these will break, pray for this. Go back to the original diet so that your intellect is enlightened and remember that temperance is the scale that avoids extremes. Clean your bloodstream with the bitter herbs and put the pure water into your bodies. Work very early when the first light comes out, and breathe hard the morning air. There, in your work, raise words of fervent supplication for your abundant harvest, because the God of the harvest will reward the work of your hands for your fidelity. Rest in good time when the night has come. And live in thanksgiving, raising your voices in song in union with the angels in gratitude and reverence to your Heavenly Father.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p2}
“Remember the food simplicity of John the Baptist, which was made up of carob beans and pure honey. For this example that nation was impacted and, many were condemned. Live simple lives knowing that your reward is near. Live redeeming the time in every moment Give prompt care to the plants because they are for our shelter and sustenance. And do not despise the birds because, even Elijah was fed by them.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p3}
“The aged earth, with tender care will give its fruit, because each microorganism, to my mandate, works on this. Or do you know, oh mortal, where the roots of the flamboyant go and from where does the palm tree absorbs its torrents of water? Look at her upright and green in the sun, incandescent and as a great warrior of survival, soars towards the sky without complaint. Will you not learn from it? The diligent sparrow, rises very early, and picks up with its beak what heaven provides for its perseverance. The bee, which collects nectar, goes from flower to flower, taking life and gathering its sustenance, because there is still time for this. The industrious ant knows no rest, while its house is in disorder and its sustenance is null. Does the caterpillar, the aphid, the hopper and the locust, my great army that I sent against you not eat? And yet, in my mercy, do I sustain you.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p4}
“Beware of the wolves who come to attack against the flock, because they call bad good and good bad; do not think that in their midst you will be safe, just you must rest far from them, on safe ground. Be in places, -continued saying- where no body wants to be. This is a seive for wolves, because they love their comfort and easy prey.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p5}
“Have you ever heard the saying: ‘stay in Jerusalem and you will be saved, because the wicked will not get to her and the wicked will flee from her’? But I tell you that my tears ran down my cheeks when I saw the future of that beautiful city, sitting like a great queen, imposing, always favored by heaven. But its inhabitants did not see that the one who picked her up and raised her, the one who beautified her, came to marry her and she despised Him until death. And what do you think the despised did? He withdrew and His favor was no longer with her and she lacked protection. He also warned His own, and gave them a sign and they scattered it and those who believed it, seeing it, came out trusting in it and its fulfillment. And do you know, oh, you deaf people and slow to understand, what happened? There it was written. How then will you say that those who stayed lived and those who left died? Does in Egipt the people were purified? And were Noah and his family saved out of the ark? Perhaps Abraham remained in his land and [among] his kin to be saved? Did Lot stay in Sodom and Gomorrah, and there he was saved from the fire? This people enjoys, and enjoys, in the fables, and conspire against the truth, but my words – forever alive and true— they will be heard.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p6}
“Advance my people! because salvation lies in implicit obedience in the God of harvest. Be careful not to be fooled by those who seek profit, not knowing that their time has been fulfilled. Be sober, seek my face, because, only in this way, will you be freed from the anger to come.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p7}
Faithful and true words of the Lord for each one of you all. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 06-21-2019 , en.p8}
Testimony: 07-19-2019 #02
That same day, July 19, 2019, but at 1:58 in the afternoon; the Lord let me know what to do so that the Holy Spirit is in the midst of individuals, families and camps. He told me Matthew 5, Matthew 6, Matthew 7, Matthew 8, Matthew 9, Matthew 10 and Matthew 11: 1. {Daisy Escalante: 07-19-2019 #02, en.p1}
Beloved, Heaven is open before the requests of His obedient children. May God grant that each one of us be like that, before Him. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 07-19-2019 #02, en.p2}
Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matthew 8
1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 10
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matthew 11:1
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Testimony: 11-04-2019
Beloved, November 4, 2019. In dreams, I entered a conference room where there was a high platform, and some, there, were talking. These, who spoke, said to all: “Take off your clothes! God sends you this! And live happy with this that we are going to give you!” The person showed the clothes, and it was dark with gaps or rips like contemporary clothing that has rips today. I saw everyone put down their clothes and take what was offered and put it on. Then I was told: “walk in front of them and speak.” I walked in front of them and told them: “do not put on those clothes, that is not approved by God, use the divine clothes, the one that God gives.” At that time, as I spoke, my normal clothes changed and a beautiful white robe became my dress, and it shone! {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p1}
They all looked at me, amazed at first, but then they shouted: “no, we will not use it, we will not use it! This protects us from the dirt, but that one everything will show, we don’t want it.” I was lowered from the platform with violence, by the men who spoke before, and I was taken out of that great place. {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p2}
I was taken to a hill near that place [from] where I was taken out, and I could see the huge campus from that place. I heard a great noise all of a sudden, and a huge pool of water lunged at that great structure and knocked it down. I saw debris along with the people being washed away by that rushing water. I was told to approach the torrent of water, and there I saw the faces of those who were being swept away by these violent waters. One of them asked for help, I jumped into the current of water to help her, and I told her: “Don’t be afraid, let’s hold on to this rock that is here!” Thus, there we remained anchored until the waters calmed down. A strong arm anchored in the rock rescued us. All the others perished in the waters and I didn’t see them anymore. There in the dry I looked at my clothes, I was afraid they were dirty, but no, to my amazement they were shiny! and I said: “Oh, Lord! Holy are you! Thank you for your mercies!” We kneel to pray and [to] thank God for such a great salvation. When finished, the person who was with me, no longer wore her own clothes, but she had a white one like the one I had. We look at each other, happy! and we praise God for His mighty wonders. {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p3}
At that moment that dream changed and I had another dream. I saw how unbelief flourished in the believing people. These, who were previously enthusiastic about the Word of Truth, were now prisoners of doubts and unbelief. Their wrong ideas, their unfulfilled expectations drove them back. I saw that when something happens on earth, it also happens in the same way in heaven; and that both places were in activity in unison, and that in the face of the great squeeze that we are experiencing, in heaven, the advances have become more acute. The Books are a work of arduous and meticulous character, and everything that is erased or written there has an effect on the earth. {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p4}
I was told: “come and see.” I looked, and I saw a beautiful glowing book with gold letters and a name that I do not remember, then I was told: “Come.” I went to earth, to the place where the person of that name was, I saw him asleep in his bed, and I saw an angel on the edge of his bed, sitting, looking at him with tender eyes of love and great care. That scene was wonderful! Then I was told: “let’s go.” I was taken again to the book room, and there, in another book, I saw a name that I also don’t remember, and then we came to earth again to see that person. He was asleep too but his sleep was restless. He was asleep on his side and, when we got closer, I saw a very horrible being! As if it were a huge reptile, which, attached to this man, slept! My fright was tremendous and I asked not to see more, it was granted and we left that place. {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p5}
Then we went to a city, and was told: “observe.” I saw such violence, I saw cars that [went] from here to there and from there to here, and men in them who drew guns and shot people, houses, other cars, everything that was in their path. These men were civilians and uniformed, chaos was everywhere, everyone screamed and ran! others screamed from the impacts and there they remained. I was told: “observe.” My eyes opened, and I saw how each human being, in front of me, had next to him, or within him, a being of those that I saw in the bed of the man who slept, who was like a reptile. I said: “Oh Lord, here everyone is with these horrible creatures, and they kill each other!” He told me: “this is their fate.” Then I saw that they went to the edge of the city. And there, in the same way, they fired shots and [there was] death everywhere. I saw many kneeling, imploring, but the bullets hit them and they were there, dead on the ground. I was told: “the hour is come, whoever remains in an unsafe place will certainly perish. Advance, advance, advance, because there is still a deadline for this!” At that moment, beloved, I woke up, and was told: “Isaiah 2.” {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p6}
May God grant that each one of us can advance, have faith in the words of Jesus Christ, and be able to reach a safe place, so that we can be sheltered under the wings of the Most High. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 11-04-2019 , en.p7}
Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
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: 11-27-2019
Beloved, November 27, 2019. The Lord told me several times: “read Joel 2 very carefully, and tell my people to do so.” I was let to know that family struggles will be in the open field of battle, but our confidence must not waver, we must always cling to God. He also told me that it will be a struggle such as there never was, because at the end of this the families will be totally separated, those who love God from those who do not love Him. “There will be much pain and anguish; but you must redouble the prayer that will mobilize heaven,” He told me. “The study of the word that will strengthen you, and the fasting that will subdue the mind and heart. Plead day and night, because great affliction awaits you,” He continued saying to me; “Look neither to the right nor to the left, follow the safe path of Prince Emmanuel, act with justice, turning away from evil, respond with words of love and keep peace in your heart, living the gospel of peace, be prepared for the unstoppable separation, for He who purifies everything, does this work, separates the chaff from the wheat.” {Daisy Escalante: 11-27-2019 , en.p1}
Faithful and true words of the Lord for each one of you, let us pray for each other. God bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 11-27-2019 , en.p2}
Joel 2
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

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: 02-20-2020
Beloved, February 20, 2020. In dreams I saw how many people clung to their dreams like children to their toys. I saw them in a multi-story building, all distracted, some pending to pay debts acquired just to please the eye and give the body comfort, just as I also saw other people working from dawn to dusk for food; I saw them go from one office in that building to another, others were building a larger extension in that building; and others in the same building went to restaurants, hotel, beauty saloons, electricity, water, internet, telephone offices; I saw in that multi-story building all activity as it exists in cities, where people are there struggling to survive at all costs so as not to lose their status and financial goods and properties; Their struggle was a lot, and although I saw them laugh, when they got home and night came, I saw them taking medication to sleep or watch television until sleep overcame them; I saw them that when the morning alarm sounded to return to that routine, they woke up unhappy and tormented; that’s how I saw them day after day, in the activity in that huge building that stood imposing on that great plain of that city; As I observed, my companion told me: let’s go.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2020, en.p1}
We entered the basement of that huge building, there I saw its robust foundations, I saw people walking by there also very confident, and suddenly I began to see that the foundations of that huge building were breaking apart little by little, and huge pieces of reinforced concrete were falling to the ground of that basement (basement); the people stayed paralyzed looking at what was happening, their fright was so great that it paralyzed them, they screamed and cried but did not move; So I yelled at them: “run, run and escape for your life!” But these did not move. So I took two people by the hand and ran with them until we came out under the building; Beloved, now outside I wanted to go back, I turned to the building to see the basement entrance with the intention of going back but at that very moment everything fell apart; I fell on my knees to the floor, I was crying bitterly, because there were thousands of people under that rubble, and I said: “oh Lord, what do I do?” And He answered: “it is the time, because there is still a deadline for this; none will perish without even before having the evidence of My love.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2020, en.p2}
Beloved, there I woke up. How sad that, having the choice in our hands, many decide to avoid it or ignore it for supposed convenience for themselves, and with that they achieve eternal death. May God grant that we faithfully follow in the footsteps of the Teacher. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2020, en.p3}
Testimony: 02-13-2021
February 13, 2021. In dreams, a house that had several rooms was big and spacious, there in it a family organized everything because the house was very disordered. I saw how they worked hard in this and how the appearance of that place was progressing; and almost to finish the arduous task, I saw a woman who came out of the door from one room to another. She trafficked throughout all the house and entered from place to place to change from place everything that the family had already accommodated. The family had already left the house after finishing the arrangement of it, and they did not realize what was happening with this woman inside the house. She would stop, look carefully at everything and proceed with the changes that were seen not to be helpful at all. So she went from place to place until the whole house was formatted in her own way and she looked happy. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p1}
I saw that the family that had left the house tried hard to organize every part of the land that belonged to them. I saw many metal pipes, thick and thin metal plates, and wooden sticks, and several places on their land that were with these materials; but they worked laboriously in the picking and arranging of that place. I saw how they got to the place of the thick metal plates and could not lift them. Then I saw that one of them left and then came to the premises and came with two machinists, with two heavy equipment machines, excavators. The young man of the family drove one and the man who ran the other was not from the family. I saw the head of the family, the father of the family, give instructions on where to put the thick plates that he wanted to move, from where they were to the place where he wanted to organize them; and that’s how it began to be done, And so the head of the family and his wife went to work in another part of the land in other organizing, but this one more lighter, while the machinists did their work. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p2}
I saw that after a few minutes after the machinists began to do their work, the woman who was inside the house came out and began to give orders that were very different from those given by the head of the family; and one of the machinists, the one who was not from the family, began to do everything as the woman told him. And the other machinist, the young man, the couple’s son, did not follow the woman’s instructions and called the head of the family. Thus the head of the family arrived at the place and realized what had happened, and tried to make the machinist understand who had listened to the woman why he had given that order of putting the thick plates in another place; and so I saw that the intruding woman hid behind a tree so the head of the family didn’t see her. But the machinists turned again to execute the direction of the head of the family and everything continued in order. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p3}
Passing a long time, the machinists went near a great river that passed near the property; and the head of the family gave instructions for the improvement and effective use of that place. Thus the machinists began their work, and the head of the family and his wife went to the house for food; Upon entering the house they realized that everything had been changed and in disorder, so they began the work of rearranging everything again and thoroughly, and they checked (checked) every corner of the house. They prepared food and this time when they left they locked the doors and they went to where the machinists were. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p4}
When they arrived they saw that they were already resting under the shade of a tree. The young machinist looked distressed while the other was calm. The head of the family observed the work, grabbed his head and exclaimed: “why have you done this?” The man machinist said: “a woman came, and said that by your consent that you changed your mind and that you wanted it to be done this way.” The young machinist exclaimed: “I was going to shout but the woman told me: ‘your father will arrive right now, it is better to do what he ordered, than to be making complaints!’ So I did a little bit, but since it didn’t seem like it, I stopped the machine and she yelled at me to continue, but when the machine stopped I removed the key and no one could move it; and this man was the one who executed everything that you ordered through the woman according to what she told us.” The head of the family could not believe what his eyes saw, of having a river bank with beautiful stones to the beautiful river, now there was an abyss of great danger between the property and the river; So this is how, the head of the family fired the man who allowed himself to be carried away by the intruding woman, and he sent for helpers to repair what was damaged on his property; They arrived and together with him and the young man they repaired everything and everything was more beautiful than it was before, and many were able to enjoy the beautiful remodeling. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p5}
Then they went through the premises, they proceeded to search meticulously for that intruding woman who had hindered everything; They found her and took her away from everyone to a vast desert and there they abandoned her, and they never saw her again. And so all was peace in that place where order reigned, hard work but much happiness. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p6}
There I woke up and at that moment “Colossians chapter 2 and chapter 3 was referred to me.” I leave this with you, beloveds, let’s analyze what the LORD wants to say to us in this hour, and let’s just follow a ”thus says Jehovah.” May the LORD bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-13-2021 , en.p7}
Colossians 2
1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Colossians 3
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
