Trey Knowles: Risala 19 – Mexico and South America (Listen)

“Poner buena cara al mal tiempo” — to bad weather, a good face.
You have been oppressed, yet our Lord sees everything.

The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and they have taken advantage of Spanish and Indigenous people without justice. For I, Trey Knowles, tell you: trouble is coming for those who create unjust laws, and for the officials who continue to enforce oppression—those who block the poor from receiving justice, who steal the rights of the vulnerable, who treat widows as easy targets, and who exploit children who have no one to defend them.

But you, mi gente, do not follow paths of violence, dishonesty, or mischief. Those ways do not belong to you, but to the Diablo—the world colonizer—who came with guns. Do not take up his ways. I want you to know that you are from God also. Abstain from every form of evil. Do not be like the world that lies in the power of the evil one.

Turn away from idols and from statues. Turn your children away from gangs. Protect your daughters from abuse and sexual immorality. I say this: you must no longer walk as those who colonized and abused your brothers and sisters. Their thinking has become futile, and their hearts hardened. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance within them. They have become callous and given themselves over to sensuality, practicing every kind of impurity.

But that is not the way you learned Yeshua—assuming you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as the truth is in Yeshua. Do not be like those who follow destructive ways. Rebuke such paths, because they bring destruction to homes and to children.

Repent, therefore, to our Lord and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out. Mi gente, te hablo con amor.

Busquen a Dios mientras Él aún se les ofrece; clamen a Él mientras está cerca. Que los malvados abandonen sus caminos corruptos y que los injustos dejen atrás sus pensamientos perversos.
Que regresen al Señor, pues Él está dispuesto a mostrar compasión. Que vuelvan a nuestro Dios, porque Él perdona libre y plenamente.

El camino del Señor es una fortaleza para el íntegro, pero destrucción para los malhechores.

¡Oh, vosotros que amáis al Señor, odiad el mal! Él preserva la vida de sus santos; los libra de la mano de los impíos.

Veo lo que hacen tus enemigos: aquellos que te llaman inmigrante, pero que ellos mismos son inmigrantes que mantienen cautivos a los inocentes.

En su arrogancia, los malvados persiguen a los pobres; pero que caigan en las mismas trampas que tendieron para otros. Los malvados presumen de sus deseos egoístas, y los codiciosos maldicen a Dios y le dan la espalda. Cegados por el orgullo, nunca buscan a Dios; sus pensamientos son, básicamente: «No existe Dios».

Todo lo que hacen parece prosperar, y tu justicia les parece muy lejana, fuera de su alcance.
