WHY PRESIDENT OBAMA, THE GAY COMMUNITY, AND GAY SUPPORTERS SHOULD BE WORRIED

WHY PRESIDENT OBAMA, THE GAY COMMUNITY, AND GAY SUPPORTERS
SHOULD BE WORRIED

A few years ago, the mayor of Pensacola, Florida, issued a proclamation in recognition of Gay Pride Week. Before the big celebration could take place, Pensacola was hit with torrential rains that dumped 13.13 inches of rain over the city. This amount was measured at the airport in Pensacola. I was in Pigeon Forge, TN, during that time. My daughter, Cindy, ran into our bedroom and told us what was happening. When she did, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Read Genesis 13:13." Well, here we go again. I didn't know what this verse was about at all! BUT, when I read it, it scared me to think what the Lord was saying.

Here is what Genesis 13:13 says: "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly."

Some time after this incident, I was invited to speak on a local radio program in Baker, Florida, about the prophetic word the Lord gave me in 2008 regarding Baker and Crestview, Florida. I mentioned about the Genesis 13:13 incident and how the Lord had tied these words into the torrential rains that hit Pensacola, Florida, as a sign of His displeasure and judgment.

A man was listening to the program, and when he heard what I said about 13.13, he thought I was making a big deal over nothing. However, the Lord was faithful to give this man a serious wakeup call. The man and his wife were going to celebrate, I believe, their 25th wedding anniversary in Hawaii. While he was flying over on the plane, he kept thinking to himself, "What's the big deal about 13.13." It just kept bugging him. Well, he and his wife got to the hotel in Hawaii, and much to this man's amazement, the hotel put them up on the 13th floor! It got even more bizarre when they were handed the room key to - you guessed it - Room 1313.

When this man told me the story, I was in amazement at God's confirmation. Actually, I can't explain to you what was going through my mind. I guess just total shock! BUT, this is not all the story. While they were "vacationing" at the hotel, the tsunami warning sirens went off, and all the hotel guests had to evacuate the hotel and flee to higher ground! God does have a sense of humor, although this is, unfortunately, a dead serious warning to our President and to our nation.

Mr. President, if you think that God is not watching what is going on, you are dead wrong. He is watching your every move. Fellow Americans, you can sing and dance in the streets, celebrating your ‪#‎love‬ wins until you are blue in the face, but God is watching. Something is going to happen that is going to confirm what I am writing.  God is watching and God is going to show up. Your celebration will be turned into terror, and your blasphemy against Almighty God will be met with fiery judgment. 

God will not be mocked! You have sown the seeds of your own destruction, and you will reap the whirlwinds of judgment.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT GOD'S AMAZING GRACE!

When the President of the United States has the gall to stand in the pulpit of a so-called Christian church in the United States of America and sing Amazing Grace, it is time for Christians to speak up and out. How could he, as a so-called Christian, glorify the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage, and then go into a Christian church singing about God's amazing grace? About the only thing the President sang that was truth is that he is a wretched man, just as Paul the Apostle stated how wretched a man he was. For the President to sing a song that proclaims that he is saved is a great deception. Why? Because there is a difference between the President's and apostle Paul's understanding of grace.

This is what the Bible says and what apostle Paul wrote about God's truly amazing grace: "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you (Titus 2:11-15).

This is what Paul said about the operation of the grace of God in his own life: "And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinner; of whom I am chief" (I Timothy 1:12-14).

The President can claim all he wants to - and even have the backing of so-called Christian ministers - that he is a Christian. They can join with him in the singing of Amazing Grace. But, most of them are nothing more than accomplices in the President's own deception. They are parasites eating at the President's table just as the false prophets did in the days of Ahab and Jezebel. God forbid that they would bite the hand that feeds them. Here is what the Bible says about true followers of God, which of course, the President is NOT:

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children: And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. But fornication, and ALL uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be ONCE named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. BE NOT YE THEREFORE PARTAKERS WITH THEM" (Ephesians 5:1-7).

If you think that our President is a Christian leader, you are dead wrong! He is a leader, but the destination for himself and all of his followers, especially those who think he is a Christian (ministers included), is hell and eternal damnation. What he and the judges of the Supreme Court have done will soon turn our nation into hell and bring upon us the wrath of God! May the Lord remember mercy in the midst of judgment!

The Suicide Note from the Young Gay Man Said, "I Wish I Could Have Been Born Again!"

The Suicide Note from the Young Gay Man Said, "I Wish I Could Have Been Born Again!"
Larry Grecu

Dedication: Recently, I read an article about a young gay man who committed suicide. I was deeply touched by one of the closing comments this young man made. He actually said, "I wish I could have been born again!" I did not know this young man. I did not have any contact with him. It grieves me that there was no one that he could turn to who could tell him, "You can be born again!" And so, I dedicate this article to the memory of this young man. I do not want his death to be in vain. I pray that all of you will take the time to read this article, especially if you think you cannot be born again and that the only way out is suicide. As you read on, you will discover that this article is not only for the LGBT people. It is for all of us. For the sake of the young man mentioned above, please read on.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *
 
I am posting these comments with the hope that anyone caught in the lifestyle of homosexuality, or any other sin for that matter, will at least take the time to read this and think about what I am saying. We are living in a generation where most of the young people in the United States, as well as their parents, have never read the Bible or think that it has anything to say to our 21st Century society. But, at least hear me out.

Romans 1 is not the only chapter in the Bible where Paul the apostle wrote about homosexuals. I know that if you are gay, most of the time this is the only chapter from the Bible you may hear from some Christians. But I want to give you another reference that you may not be aware of. It is found in I Corinthians 6:9-10. It says, "Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingodm of God."

This is quite a long list that seems to cover a multitude of sins. BUT, if you read on, this is what Paul says to the Corinthian church members: "And such WERE some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." The Bible says that all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus has provided a way out of all of the lifestyles mentioned above. He is the way and the only way out.

The next time you go to a church, think about this: that church is filled with people who WERE all of the above. When we accept Christ's sacrifice for our sins, He makes us a new creation. All things become new, and old things are passed away. Sure, there are some Christians who have fallen back into the old life. But, believe me, God is well able to get them back on track through some real chastening. He is faithful Father!

But, bottom line, the fact that some Christians may and do fall does not change the truth of God's Word. You can be born again! You can be changed from a fornicator, idolater, adulterer, a homosexual, an abuser of oneself with mankind, a thief, a person who covets, a drunkard, a reviler, an extortioner. You can inherit the kingdom of God.

I want you to notice that all of the people mentioned above are described as "the unrighteous." The Bible does tell us in Romans 1 that the way out of these unrighteous lives is through the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the first part of which is that Jesus died for us, died for our sins, while we were without strength to change ourselves, while we were ungodly, while we were sinners, and while we were enemies of God. That is why we can sing, "What a friend we have in Jesus."

I always get upset when I hear people say to others, "Jesus loves you." He does love you. But there is something better that you should know as a sinner! "Jesus LOVED you." He loved YOU even as a sinner! Before I was saved, I used to think to myself, "I have done some awful things. I just can't believe that God would forgive me." I had never been taught that Jesus had already proven His love for me. He had already stepped into my place of judgment and died in my place! I could hardly believe this good news. But, it was true, and now I am part of a new creation and am being changed from glory to glory until, when He appears, I will be like Him for I shall see Him as He is. Friend, this can be your life too! God loved you (past tense) while you were yet His enemy. It can't get much worse than that on your part or much better on God's part. He wants none of us to perish.

Again, while you were yet a sinner, unable to change or save yourself, while you were His enemy - actually an enemy of God - God Himself sent Jesus to die for you - no matter which one of the sinful lifestyles above you are in. I hope you hear what I am saying. When Paul wrote the book of Romans, there was till time to change. Right now, there is still time to change. But, Paul warned ALL the above-mentioned sinners that there would be a day coming when there would be no more opportunity for change. There would be a day of wrath coming when God would judge all unrighteousness. So, what made the Good News so attractive to the former sinners in the Corinthian church? The promise of true change!

How much did the Corinthian sinners change? Yes, I know that if you read the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians, some of them were pretty messed up. BUT, I want you to read what else was going on. Some of these former sinners, now saints, were moving in the power of God. When they were changed, God actually gave them His power. They were speaking in tongues, prophesying, performing miracles, signs, and wonders. Healings were taking place as former sinners prayed for the sick. They were moving in great faith. They were hearing from God and were moving in the word of knowledge when a particular thing was revealed from God. They were moving in wisdom when there appeared to be no way out of a situation. In other words, they were CHANGED and were themselves becoming agents of change.

It was that kind of change that I witnessed in the 1970s. I started seeing many of my former classmates and friends, whom I knew had been pretty messed up, changed! I couldn't believe my eyes. But, what I saw put such a hunger in my heart for real change, I was not going to rest until I had whatever they had. And now, I have lived with the ultimate Change Agent, Jesus Christ, in my life for over 40 years. My life has never been the same!

So, Friend, here are my final comments. If you think that you do not fit into any of the above-mentioned sinner categories, then my message is not for you. But, if you know that you are one of the above sinners, then there is Good News for you. Christ did die for YOU. Christ did suffer the judgment for you. When you confess your sin, Jesus Christ is faithful and just to forgive you your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness - just like he did for all those Corinthian sinners, now saints, and just like he did for me. Before you think there is no hope, please think again. Read over what I have written and ask God for His help. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He will never turn you away when you come to Him for help. I can honestly say that He has never forsaken me - ever!

I am no different than you. I once was blind, but now I see, was lost, but now I am found. This can be your life too. There is still time to be truly changed!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THE SUPREME COURT DECISION ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Just Some of My Views of What Will Happen as a Result of Today's Supreme Court Decision in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage

Larry Grecu

Jesus Himself warned us that one of the signs of His second coming is that it would be "as in the days of Lot." Those of you who may not be familiar with the name Lot are probably more familiar with the names Sodom and Gomorrah. What we are witnessing in our country is the fulfillment of Romans 1 judgment: the abandonment of God upon a people. The people wanted another god rather than the One, True God, so God gave them up to their lusts, the final result being giving people over to homosexuality. For all of you who think that it ends there, do not be fooled. God gave people up to the fullness of iniquity (see the last few verses of Romans 1). This IS coming to our nation.
Another thing you will shortly see is the exodus of the righteous out of cities that will be coming under judgment! Jesus said that it would be "as in the days of Lot," not me. Angels were sent to Lot's home, to Lot's family, to warn him of coming judgment on Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities. There was a place of refuge, and there will be places of refuge for those who have the ears to hear and the eyes to see what is happening.

I could go on and on warning of things that are coming to Christians and non-Christians alike, to those who believe that marriage is and should be between one man and one woman. I could go on and on with what is coming to the children of those who uphold the Word of God. The Lord has given me dreams, visions, and revelations straight from the Word of God regarding what is coming, and I can guarantee you that it will not be pretty.

I just listened to President Obama's speech hailing the decision of the Supreme Court, and it made me sick, especially some of the innuendoes of what is coming to our children and grandchildren. You had better face the fact that the public school system will be used to educate children in the ways of homosexuality and lesbianism and worse! I have warned about this in the past, and it is soon going to happen right before our eyes. Christian and non-Christian teachers and administrators will be forced out of the public school system throughout the US because they will not bow the knee to Baal.
Our country has been brought into the deception perpetrated by the false prophet spirit of Balaam. Balaam could not curse what God had blessed, but he knew what would bring God's judgment. Do not think that our President, in spite of all his haughty words, does not know what he is doing. He is not deceived! He knows what will bring God's judgment on our nation. He is no dummy. He, like Balaam, knows that sexual sin will bring judgment, judgment the likes of which we have never seen before!

Folks, if your life is not right with Christ, you better get right with God! The judgments that are coming to this nation are going to be beyond anything you could think or imagine. If you have seen the movie "San Andreas," I can tell you that some of the things the Lord has shown me regarding coming judgments make this movie pale in comparison. All I can say is that you better get right with God, get your house in order, and above all, REPENT! Judgment will begin and has begun at the House of God, and then it will spread out to the nation. God will not be mocked!

I pray that God will enlighten your hearts and give you understanding before it is too late!
Your brother in Jesus Christ,

MY THOUGHTS ON THE CHARLESTON CHURCH MASSACRE

My Thoughts on the Charleston Church Massacre
Larry Grecu, Baker, Florida
June 24, 2015

In a few hours, it will be a week since the murders of nine members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.  I was struck by a statement made by the governor of South Carolina when she said that Charleston, South Carolina, was known as the "Holy City."  There are two things the Lord has laid on my heart regarding these events and this comment.  All Christians should realize that the Lord is sending us a clear message, whether we like to believe this or not - especially since the message was sent in such a horrific manner.

First, the very fact that Charleston is called the Holy City should make us pause!  If we knew the history of the Holy City, Jerusalem, we would know that Jerusalem had walls to protect it from its enemies.  But, what do we see?  The walls of the Holy City are down when they should be up!  The Church should be equipped, but we are not!  Second, the Church has no discernment.  We do not like the idea that God would bring judgment to our door, but we better learn from what has happened, or we will see a repeat of the events of last week!

The murderer sat for one hour in the midst of nine members of the church.  Nine in Biblical numerology is the number of blessing as well as judgment.  The judgment question that we need to ask is, "Where was the discernment?"  Are we as Christians supposed to be so open-minded and receptive that we lay discernment at the door of our churches when we walk in?  I believe that one of the most important lessons that we need to learn from this tragedy is to pray for discernment.   Even Jesus knew who his betrayer was!  Even the disciples, Paul and Peter, knew when their time of departure was at hand. 

The walls of the American Church are down.  We must repent and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to become more and more operative in our midst like never before.  Years ago, I was attending a revival in a nearby city.  One day as I was praying, the Lord spoke to me that there was going to be an attack on the church where the revival was being held.  I was to warn the pastor that there would be an attempted murder or some other kind of disaster coming, and the church authorities were to be warned to be on the lookout for anyone acting suspiciously. 

You can imagine my hesitancy to warn because of the gravity of what I was told.  So, I asked the Lord for a confirmation.  As I was praying, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Read Isaiah 56:10."  I didn't even know if Isaiah 56 had ten verses, or if it did, what it said.  However, when I read this verse, I decided that I was not going to be a fulfillment of what it said!  So, I immediately sat down and wrote a letter containing the warning to the pastor.  By the way, here is what the verse said:  "His (Israel's) watchmen are blind:  they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, THEY CANNOT BARK; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber."

Within a week, a man walked into the church offices acting strangely.  It immediately caught the attention of one of the staff members who called the police.  The man was apprehended and taken away.  I cannot remember if the man had a gun or not, but I believe that he was upset because of the effect the revival had had on his wife.  Either way, I did not remain silent by keeping the warning to myself.  Only time will tell if there were any warnings given in advance to the Mother Emanuel AME Church by the Lord, and if so,  if they were ignored.  In the meantime, I would encourage every pastor and every member of their congregations to pray for discernment.  This is something God is focusing us in on, and we must take heed to the Lord's warning no matter how painful the loss of these nine precious lives has been.  We must not let this warning be in vain.
