The Final Stretch of the Age of Grace Has Begun

from the book YHWH Is Calling

My dear friend, I know you believe in the existence of a higher power, but you have not yet accepted Jesus into your heart as your Savior. Oh, how I wish I could simply give you this faith.

After confirmation class, I lived for about 20 years with a false understanding of salvation. I had been under the mistaken belief that baptism, belonging to the church, and attending confirmation class were guarantees of being one of the Lord's own and having a place in heaven. God prompted me to compile the message titled ‘For Your Victory,’ which tells of the hard work God, with His angels and servants, had to do to personally lead me to saving faith, to being born again of the Spirit, and to having a personal relationship with Him.

Although I had tried to receive Jesus into my life during confirmation class by professing my desire with my mouth—and I truly meant much of what I said—I realized years later that my heart had only been partially open to Him. I wanted to welcome Jesus into my heart, but I hadn’t internalized what that should have meant in practice, beyond the words I had spoken. I would have needed firm guidance in the Truth: that you cannot even follow Jesus unless you are ready to spend time with Him and study the Holy Word to understand what following Him truly means in daily life.

It was only through the guidance of the Almighty that I came to understand what it truly means to kneel before the Lord with my whole heart and say to Jesus: "Here is my heart and my life, take them into Your hands. Forgive me for all my past sins and teach me to live according to Your will, cleansing my heart of all the dross that the world has accumulated, leading me toward perdition."

We can receive Jesus just as we are, in all our sinfulness and impurity, right in this moment. However, it is our responsibility to give time to the Lord. We must seek His holy will through the revelation of His Word and honor the Sabbath, which has been given as a sign of the covenant with the Lord. I was granted the opportunity to personally experience how obedience to the Sabbath and studying the Holy Word led to being born again of the Spirit and partaking in the Kingdom of Heaven, which is already at work among us in this present age. A path of miracles began, one that I would not trade for anything this world has to offer.

Even before the calling and anointing I received from the Lord as a prophet in 2019, the Lord had revealed that the message in the writing ‘For Your Victory’ was connected to my task. The Almighty expressed His sorrow that He would no longer be able to lead all of His chosen ones to saving faith along the same long path as mine, which took 20 years. There would not be as much time available for everyone. My dear friend, for the sake of you and your loved ones, I hope you understand in your heart that we have entered the time that the evangelists of the New Testament also proclaimed:

 

“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should

be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise

 in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened

to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

 ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will

 turn away ungodliness from Jacob;’”

Romans 11:25-26 (NKJV)

 

Many are well aware of the Scripture's reference to the fullness of the Gentiles coming in, but many will awaken too late to realize that the final stretch of this relatively short age of grace has truly begun. I already knew that we were living in a prophetically significant time, but I fully understood only after the Lord gave me this revelation about the birth of the donkey’s colt connected to His return, and when the Lord declared that Isaiah’s prophecy of the raising of the banner and the sounding of the trumpet is now being fulfilled in our time.

My friend, it doesn’t matter whether one’s genetic heritage is from the group that the Lord is now personally gathering, in accordance with His Word, as the forgiven wild donkey’s colt across congregational boundaries and around the world. The invitation to join the saved is still open to everyone, everywhere, for a little while longer (see Ezekiel 37, for example). However, this group, awakened by the Lord Himself within various congregations worldwide, holds a special significance related to the call that the Lord, through His prophets, still desires to be proclaimed to the congregations in these times. I have personally received that calling as well, so I will write more about it separately.

My friend, I only hope that in the coming years, you will open your heart to the Lord, for the new era that has begun will, in its brevity, surprise many. This era will not last for many more decades, but rather for a number of years that can be counted on fingers and toes. If you seek the Lord with all your heart during this time, there will be no need to fear or despair over anything that is still to come as trials for the nations of the world, even after the pandemic. The peace that comes through the Holy Spirit is not dependent on external circumstances. You will understand what I mean when you experience it yourself by welcoming Jesus into your heart and being born again of the Holy Spirit.

It is, however, important to receive the message that this Easter, the Lord has called for the proclamation of a time when it is once again wise to heed the call to take refuge under the protection of the sacrificial lamb’s blood amid the shakings already taking place among the nations, and for those still to come. The Lord is about to begin an unprecedented move to deliver and gather His own from all over the world, freeing them from nations that have fallen into apostasy and idolatry, just as He once freed His own from Egypt.

Unlike the first Passover, we do not need to shed the blood of animal sacrifices and apply it to the doorposts of our homes. Instead, it is enough to receive our Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts, and through that, partake in the protection of the blood He shed as the perfect sacrificial lamb for all our sins during Passover.

 

Be abundantly blessed, my dear friend!

Leora

“ Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,

And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born,

That they may arise and declare them to their children,

That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments”

(NKJV PS78:1-7)
