A DREAM ABOUT GOD'S SOON-COMING ANSWER TO THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY

A DREAM ABOUT GOD'S SOON-COMING ANSWER

TO THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY

This morning I had a dream in which the Lord spoke to me and said, "I will not be outdone by the devil!" The words were very forceful, and I knew that God meant business. He continued by telling me that He was going to answer the abominations that the devil is using through homosexuality with Godly, true, pure relationships between men and women, but especially through men. The Lord reminded me that the homosexuals have used Holy Scriptures to pervert the truth of what it means for men to be in Godly relationships with each other. But, those days are over! For God says again, "I will not be outdone by the devil."

Soon, there will be coming visible manifestations of what it means for men to be in deep, Godly relationships with each other. The pictures perverted by satan in the homosexual community will be crushed by what God is getting ready to manifest. I am speaking specifically of the Biblical relationships given like those of David and Jonathan, Jesus and John the apostle, and Paul and Timothy. The manifestation of these relationships will be so powerful that many men who are trapped in homosexuality will leave the bondages they are in to find the reality of true, Godly love in Christ! They will be provoked to jealousy because God will not be outdone by the devil!

The Lord spoke to me that one of the places where this will become particularly visible will be in the military. Our leadership in our own country has been used by satan himself to weaken our military by introducing homosexuality into the various branches of service, but the Lord says, "I will not be outdone by the devil!" There is coming an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our military that is going to produce a visible manifestation of the Godly, pure, and true love-relationships between men. This will not be man-produced, but God-produced - produced by the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us by God. In other words, it is going to be an inside job! God will not be outdone by the devil!

There will be nothing anyone can do to stop this outpouring of God's Spirit, for it will be God's answer to the flood of iniquity that is sweeping our country. It will not require words, although words may be spoken. It will simply be the manifestation of God's power over satan. Who do you think is greater? I will answer. My God is greater! He will not be outdone by the devil! I have never felt this strongly about a word from the Lord than at this time. Something is coming in the way of an outpouring of God's love like nothing we have ever seen before. God has been saving the best for last, and He has weapons in His arsenal that he has kept for such a time as this! The greatest of these is Love!

THE "D" DREAM CONTINUES: "D" IS FOR DEPARTURE

"D" IS FOR DEPARTURE

April 8, 2015
 

For those of you who are not familiar with the "D" dream I had on March 17th, feel free to visit my new blog, http://asinthedaysofnoahandlot.blogspot.com/, where you will find the dream recorded. Today, I am going to continue with the revelation the Lord is giving me on this dream by discussing the subject of "D" is for DEPARTURE. I must admit that the first thing I thought of when I had this revelation is that this "D" for departure must refer to the rapture or catching away of the Church. But, apparently, the Lord had some other things to say related to this letter/word that I had never really given thought to.

But, first, let me explain how this part of the dream began to unfold. Last week, I received an email from a friend of mine in the south of the county I live in. The email contained a very disturbing video involving a coming calamity that will have catastrophic consequences internationally. According to the video, international governments appear to have knowledge of a coming catastrophe that they do not want the general population to know about so as to avert widespread panic. So, over the next two days as I was thinking about the video's message, I kept thinking about the "D" dream as it related to disasters, disease, dying, and death. On Monday morning (4/6), I went for a walk to pray and get alone with the Lord to see what He had to say to me. It did not take long for Him to speak. He simply told me to keep on doing what He had called me to do. Keep on warning. Keep on writing. Keep on waiting. And, as I began waiting on him on Monday morning, He began opening up to me what He wanted revealed about the word departure.

To my surprise, the Lord spoke to me that there is a theme of departure that runs throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. I am going to list what the Lord gave to me so that in your leisure, you can read about some of these departures. I am sure you could probably add to this list, so feel free. But, above all, please consider the Scriptures that I give at the end of this blog regarding specific warnings tied to the word departure. Here is the list the Lord gave me. You will notice that not all of these departures are positive in nature.

Adam and Eve - departure from God and from the Garden of Eden; departure of Enoch; departure of the World Population from God in days of Noah; departure of Noah and his family via the Ark; departure of Nimrod and the descendants of Noah at Babel; departures in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (good and bad); departure of Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah; departure of Joseph from Canaan through betrayal by his brothers; departure of Joseph's father and brothers from Canaan; departure of Moses from Egypt to Midian; departure of Moses from Midian to Egypt; departure of Moses and Children of Israel, with Joseph's bones, from Egypt; departure from the Living God in the Wilderness; departures of Miriam, Aaron, and Moses; departure of Judges in Israel, resulting in departures from God; departures of Samuel, Elijah, and Elisha; departure of Israel from the Word of God; departure of Israel into Assyria; departure of Judah into Babylonian Captivity; departure of Ezra and Nehemiah from Babylon; departure of Mary and Joseph during census; departure of Wise Men via a star on one hand and a dream on the other; departure of Jesus into Egypt as a child; departure of Jesus from Egypt to Nazareth; departure of Jesus from earth; departure of the Holy Spirit from Heaven; departure of apostles Peter and Paul in death; departure of Jews from Israel in Diaspora; departure of the Early Church from SOUND doctrine; departure from Light and descent into Dark Ages; departure from God-given restraints in the Last Days; and departure of the Bride.

As you can see, this is a study in itself. But, today I want to hone in on some Scriptures that the Lord gave me specifically for the word departure.

First is 2 Timothy 2:19.

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

"Every one who names the name of Christ must depart from iniquity. Those who would have the comfort of the privilege must make conscience of the duty. If the name of Christ be called upon us, we must depart from iniquity, else he will not own us; he will say in the great day (Matt. 7:23), Depart from me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity. Observe, (1.) Whatever errors are introduced into the church, the foundation of God standeth sure, his purpose can never be defeated. (2.) God hath some in the church who are his and whom he knows to be his. (3.) Professing Christians name the name of Christ, are called by his name, and therefore are bound to depart from iniquity; for Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, Titus 2:14" (Matthew Henry's Commentary).

The second Scripture is Philippians 1:21-30.

Philippians 1:21-30 (KJV) - Paul's desire for departure from this present life

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Paul's time of departure from this life had not yet arrived. From this observation, the Lord spoke to me that there are many who have had a real experience of Heaven, and they know that to depart and be with Christ is far better than "living" in this world. However, they know that it is not the time of their departure. There are other aspects of their calling that have not yet been fulfilled. In this day and hour, we are either faced with persecution or coming persecution, and we live daily with the threat of terrorism. However, the Lord has left some of His disciples for such a time as this, disciples who know that "they shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith" in the midst of suffering and conflict. These men and women will be examples to us all of what true discipleship is: following the Master, the Lamb, wherever He leads and wherever He goes.

The third Scripture the Lord gave was all of I Timothy 4. However, I want to quote, in particular, verses 1 and 16.

1 Timothy 4:1,16 (KJV)

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils . . . 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

In the first verse, it is not just anyone speaking. It is the Spirit of God Himself warning us ahead of time what is coming and is now upon us in these "latter times." People - one time people of faith - are departing from the faith. We are seeing this all around us. But, we are to give heed to ourselves, examine ourselves to see that we are still in the faith. We are to give heed to the doctrine of Christ, and not just give heed to the doctrine(s), but continue in them. How few do we see about us who are heeding these warnings! The time of great delusion is fast approaching, and if you are standing on the shifting sands of man's traditions and man's doctrines, your house will collapse as the storms come. If we are going to save ourselves and others, we must build a firm foundation upon the doctrines of the apostles and prophets.

Paul had not failed to warn the early Church and the Church of the latter days! But, the day came when the Lord told him and he told others that his departure was at hand.

In scripture number four we find these words:

2 Timothy 4:1-8 (KJV)

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

In this scripture, Paul reminds Timothy that Jesus Christ shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom! How easily we forget these words, these final words of the departing man of God. Judgment is coming, but in the meantime, we must be instant in season and out; we must reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all long suffering and doctrine! We are living in the time when people do not want to hear the truth, even truth given by a man who is departing this life and warning of a departure of others from the faith.

This apostle Paul gave another serious warning of events that would occur after his departure. In the fifth Scripture, Paul tells the elders from the church at Ephesus:

Acts 20:27-31 (KJV)

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

In these Scriptures, we are given the parting message of a man on the verge of departure. Here was a man who had not failed to declare to the Church all the counsel of God! (Note: He either declared the whole counsel of God or he didn't! Either he is telling the truth or he is telling a lie!) And yet, how many so-called apostles and prophets have moved away from the foundation of this apostle and the foundation of his doctrine, which IS the doctrine of Christ? How many in our day, while reading the early Church "fathers," have been drawn away from the faith once delivered to the saints? How many have been drawn away by reading the very traditions and doctrines of men "speaking perverse things" that Paul warned about.

My exhortation to you: get back to the Bible! I am not a cessationist. I believe in the gifts of the Spirit and their operation in the Church. But, I also believe that if your church is not grounding you in the foundational doctrines of Christ, the foundational doctrines of the whole counsel of God that Paul the apostle laid out, then you better get busy yourself and examine what you are being taught! God is looking for those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. It is not a one or the other. It is both/and!

 

I repeat again.  Strong delusion is coming, and it is coming from God Himself! Why? Because men do not love the truth. There is much talk in the Body of Christ about leaving your first love, and we can get all emotional and touchy-feely. But, I would ask you: what about your love for the Word of God? Have you forgotten what is was like when you were first saved? Your insatiable hunger for the Word of God? Your voracious appetite for the Word of God? The distances you would go to hear the Word of God? If you have forgotten, REPENT! RETURN! Return to your first love!

Next, Brothers and Sisters, the Lord spoke to me that just as there are saints who are staying on this earth to do the will of God, there are others that the Lord is taking home to be with Him. We will see more departures of saints in these Last Days, saints who have been faithful to warn. They will know and they will warn of their coming departure. In the Early Church, another apostle, Peter, knew of his coming departure, and he left us some words of advice and warning. These are the final two sets of Scriptures I am commenting on.

2 Peter 1:12-15 (KJV)

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

2 Peter 3:1-2 (KJV)

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour . . .

In both of the Scriptures above, Peter WRITES to disciples in order to keep them in remembrance "of the words spoken by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour"! Do you see this? The words of a departing man are being written down so that we can read the warnings of things coming in these end times! Beloved, we will be without excuse! We will not be able to say, "I didn't know." I would recommend that you read both I and II Peter to hear what the Lord is warning about in advance!

You will be surprised to find that the prophets Peter references in 2 Peter 2 are not some of the so-called prophets of our day or even of his day, but the Old Testament prophets who still have a lot to say to us about these Last Days! Do not turn a deaf ear to what they are warning us about! Do not heap unto yourselves teachers, having itching ears, teachers who are going to "prophesy" to you things that are going to leave you with nothing but false security! Get back to the Bible, the whole Bible, both the Old and New Testaments and see what the Lord is saying, and not man!

In conclusion, I hope that you will take the time to pray over and consider what I have written. I am writing what I believe the Spirit of the Lord is speaking to the Church in this season. Time is short. The strong delusion is at hand. This is not a time to back away from the Truth. This is the time to run to the Truth, Jesus Christ, the soon-coming Judge and King, who shall judge the quick and the dead!

PERSECUTION COMING TO CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES - WARNING LETTER GIVEN TO PASTORS IN JULY 1998

 

September 3, 2014

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In July 1998, the Lord gave me a prophetic warning and told me to give it out to pastors in the Baker-Crestview, Florida, area. I have felt the Lord speaking to reissue the warning again for all Christians and pastors who are willing to heed it. I believe that we Christians in the United States will soon experience persecution, the likes of which most of us would never have dreamed possible in our country. BUT, it is coming, and it is better to be prepared for it now than to find yourself unprepared spiritually and mentally when it really hits. May God have mercy on the "pillow prophets" who are telling you that everything is going to be all right, that nothing bad is going to happen to His bride or His Church! They are liars of the worst sort and are denying the word of God and especially the words of Jesus Christ Himself, who was faithful to warn his disciples. In case you have not heard the news, Jesus did not suffer so you would not have to. All that live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution!

A PROPHETIC WARNING TO PASTORS

Given to Larry Grecu

July 1998

Dear Pastors,

In this month of July 1998, the Lord spoke to me to warn His appointed undershepherds of a coming judgment upon those pastors who fail to warn and prepare His flock for the persecution that is soon coming to the Christians in the United States of America. Those pastors faithful to this warning will be spared the Lord's judgment upon them and will see the flocks of God "leaping on the mountains and skipping o'er the hills" of the coming troubles. Instead of persecution surprising the sheep, it will only serve to transform the sheep into the likeness of the Lamb of God.

It is my strongest desire that the Lord would confirm this word of warning to you. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established. It may be that the Lord has already been speaking to you and this word will only serve as a confirmation to us all. I ask God's continued blessing on your ministries, and I pray that He will give you the grace to fulfill your calling and receive a full reward.

Sincerely, your brother in Christ,

Larry Grecu

Ezekiel 33:1-6

Again the word of the Lord came unto me saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his own soul. But if the watchman seeth the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

In his pamphlet, "Will You Be Bored in Heaven?", the late Keith Green wrote of a sad incident. He told how the believers in China reacted to persecution when the Communists took over their country in 1949. "The Evangelical churches had been teaching that the Church would definitely be raptured before any "great tribulation" or suffering would befall the faithful. It had become such a central doctrine that all worry (and preparation) were abandoned, and praise for their absolute safety from harm and persecution was offered at every meeting. Then the Communist government took over and a vicious attack was made upon the Church, including confiscation of property, beatings, imprisonment, and even the taking of children from parents. The unprepared Church was caught so off-guard that millions fell away and denied Christ, thinking they had been abandoned by a God who did not keep his promise."

If you think that this is only an isolated incident, something that could not happen in your lifetime, think again. In the October 1994 issue of Charisma magazine, there was an article entitled, "Christians Die in Rwandan Violence." This article told of the sufferings that these Christians went through, including such things as murder, butchery, confiscation of property, forced evacuations and the fleeing from what was once their homeland. As horrific as these things were, the saddest commentary was made at the conclusion of the article where the writer wrote of the reaction of the Christians to their persecution. I will include the last three paragraphs of the article so you can get the impact of what I am trying to drive home:

"In an effort to help fill the spiritual vacuum left by the killings of so many pastors, a mass campaign has been launched to distribute thousands of Bibles to Rwandan refugees in Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. The first shipment of 1,200 Kinyarwanda Bibles was distributed in northern Tanzania, and pastors from different denominations have been working in the refugee camps.

"Most of the people are questioning everything, including their faith," said Albert Mongi, general secretary of the Bible Society in Tanzania. "They are asking where was God and where His protecting angels were when the killers came into the churches. These are problems we need to address before just handing out scriptures."

"Mongi said most refugees "are not ready to think about their faith. They are numb, and they behave as if in a daze." (article by Willy Fautre, news Network Int'l.)

Dear Pastors, could either of these two accounts be recorded about your congregation? Worse yet, could either of these two incidents result because you, as a pastor, failed to declare the whole counsel of God, much of which concerns such "hot" topics as persecution, affliction, tribulation, and trials? What example did the Good Shepherd leave to those who have the care of His flock? Surely He didn't scare any of the little lambs or sheep of His flock with thoughts of persecution, death, or martyrdom, did He? Hear what Jesus told His disciples.

He said His disciples would be hated and persecuted, put out of their synagogues, and even killed (John 15:18,20; 16:2,3). John the Beloved, the closest friend of Jesus, had to suffer persecution and exile, of all things. What kind of Savior would let that happen to His best friend? Luke, another Gospel writer, quotes Jesus as saying that the disciples of the Lord would be "betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake" (Luke 21:16,17). Matthew also records Jesus as warning His disciples with these words, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of ALL nations for My name's sake" (Matthew 24:9). Surely Jesus could not have foreseen persecution coming upon His Church from our own beloved United States, our own countrymen? Surely Jesus could not mean that? I'll let you argue that point with Him. I am only the messenger.

Maybe Paul the apostle had some better things to say to the Church. Let's take a look. We all get excited when we hear about "divine appointments." They are truly amazing. But, what about a divine appointment like the one mentioned in Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians? Let's take a peek into someone else's mail. We might as well. Why? Because often we treat the Bible as though the whole book was not written for our instruction. Of course, maybe you are one of those fanatical pastors who believes that this letter was written for Christians today. Anyway, in Chapter Three we are told that Paul sent Timothy to the Thessalonian church "to establish and comfort you concerning your faith: that no man should be moved by these afflictions . . ." Now, surely I didn't read that last word! That didn't say A-F-F-L-I-C-T-I-O-N-S, did it? Yes, it did. Of course, maybe one of the reasons you are not familiar with that word is because you are not preaching it, or you haven't done anything to be counted worthy to suffer for the Gospel. I will let you be the judge of that.

Paul continues in his letter informing the Thessalonians, "For yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto." There it is in black and white. A divine appointment with afflictions. Well, maybe Paul meant physical illnesses. If he did, then we need to find some new definitions for the word "tribulation." You see, in the very next verse, Paul continues, "For verily, when we were with you, WE TOLD YOU BEFORE that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know." How many of the members of your congregation have you recently told that they will suffer afflictions and tribulation in this present life?

Paul was faithful to his calling to this church. He had given advance warning of persecution to the Thessalonians. He knew that it was one of their divine appointments. They were not at all surprised when what he had told them came to pass. Would this be the case with your congregation? Could you write to your church and say, "For ye, Brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye have suffered things OF YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, even as they have of the Jews . . ."

Now, why would Paul be so concerned about mentioning afflictions and tribulations? These topics certainly would not set well with most of our American congregations. And, I really doubt if Paul would be invited back as a frequent guest speaker. In fact, most pastors, if they were brave enough to contradict some of today's current theology regarding suffering and affliction, might find themselves entering early retirement. But again, why does Paul major on this "minor"? The answer? He is not ignorant of the devil's devices!

When Paul couldn't stand it any longer, he sent Timothy to check up on the Thessalonians. "I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain." Now, this was no dumb apostle. He had learned from the Master well. Paul knew that one of the devil's devices to destroy the faith of Christians is for them to be left in the dark when it comes to God's ordained divine appointment with tribulation.

In the parable of the seeds, Jesus forewarned that some seed is sown on stony ground. The stony ground hearers are they who "have heard the word" and IMMEDIATELY receive it with gladness." However, these same hearers "have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when AFFLICTION AND PERSECUTION arise for the word's sake, IMMEDIATELY they are OFFENDED" (Mark 4:16-17). One of the best ways to avoid the loss of seed is to make sure that you remove the stones from the ground. Some of the stones that are currently in the evangelical field are the stone of "peace and safety"; the stone of "It could never happen in our country"; the stone of "He suffered so I won't have to"; and the stone of "We'll be out of here before anything bad happens." These stones need to be removed from your congregational field, and soon. Otherwise, you will find yourself in an OFFENDED congregation instead of a faith-filled one.

Listen to what Jesus warned was going to happen when persecution became a reality in the Last Days: "And then shall many be OFFENDED, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." Fortunately, Paul the apostle heeded this warning and prepared the Thessalonians for persecution. When Timothy reported back to Paul, he was able to bring some good news to Paul, who was in the midst of his own persecutions. "But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your FAITH AND CHARITY, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, Brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord" (I Thessalonians 3:6-8).

Now, I would like to leave you with these thoughts. How many of you would find your congregations in the same condition that Timothy found the one to whom Paul had faithfully proclaimed the full counsel of God? How many of your congregations would be glad to see you come back after they had gone through persecution and affliction? How many would still be living in faith and charity without one loss to unbelief and betrayal? Or, would your congregation be like those of the Chinese Church of 1949 or the Rwandan Church of 1994? What message are you going to preach? The answer is left up to you. Consider today, Pastors, yes, right now, that you will answer to God for the care you gave to His flock.

When the early Church faced threats, imprisonment, and slaughter (even at the hands of the future apostle Paul), she did not quake or "think it strange concerning the fiery trial" which was to try her, "as though some STRANGE thing" had happened to her. No, she rejoiced, "inasmuch as (her members) were made partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, (she) may be glad also with exceeding joy." For the early Church knew that "if ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part (your persecutors) He is evil spoken of, but on your part, He is glorified" (I Peter 4:12-14).

My prayer for you as a pastor is that you will "meditate upon these things and give yourself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee" (I Timothy 4:15-16).

Sincerely, your brother in Christ,

Larry Grecu

A few years ago, I had an experience with the Lord. I don't know whether to call it a trance or just a very serious visitation from the Lord. I was reading my Bible when the living room filled with the Presence of God. It was an amazing experience, and one I will not easily forget. At the time of this visitation, I was reading the story of King Ahab and his desire for Naboth's vineyard. King Ahab was looking out his palace window and saw a vineyard that he wanted to add to his own. He approached the owner, Naboth, about making an exchange, as in money or better property.

Naboth flatly refused. He told Ahab that he was not going to give up his family inheritance. He could not be bought! That sent Ahab into an emotional tailspin, and he went off pouting like a big, overgrown baby. His wife, Jezebel, who apparently wore the pants in the family, came home to find Ahab crying over Naboth's refusal to give him his vineyard. Jezebel told the king that she would get the vineyard for him and immediately flew into action. She set Naboth up by bringing in two or three false witnesses to testify against him on some bogus, trumped-up charge. Then, acting as judge and jury, she summarily exercised her regal powers and had Naboth executed.

As I was reading this story, the Lord spoke to me - this was about seven years ago - that there were men and women in our nation who were going to rise up and literally sacrifice their lives in order to see our country return to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord told me that these people would come from the political arena especially, as well as all walks of life, and at all levels. They would not sell or trade their inheritance, the United States of America, for anything.

Unfortunately, the governors of Indiana and Arkansas do not appear to be part of that leadership. When put to the test, they both caved in to political and financial pressure. One of them, Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, even went so far as to admit that he had been influenced by his son, Seth, who had signed the petition asking for the veto of the religious freedom bill presented to the governor by state legislators. So much for passing your beliefs on to your children. Sadly, the governor had to admit that there is now a generational divide in his own family over LGBT rights. What is even sadder is to think that God is watching this from above, and these people, like Balaam, do not see the sword of judgment hanging over them - or their states!

In the meantime, however, the eyes of the Lord are running to and fro throughout the United States looking for those men and women of character who are not going to bow the knee to Baal. The good news is that there is leadership out there. We will soon see men and women who will present their bodies a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God, no matter what the price! They have been held back for such a time as this, and in God's time, He will unveil His 21st Century Meshachs, Shadrachs, and Abednegos who will go through the fire, unwilling to worship at the altars of Man. May God hasten that day. Maranatha!

INCREASED HEAT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA - DREAM OF APRIL 2, 2015

This morning I had a dream in which I heard the following words:  "There is going to be increased heat in Florida.  Fires are coming throughout the state."  I knew that these were natural fires that were coming and not the fires of revival.  It was going to be related to judgment coming to the state of Florida.  With these fires, I knew that there was going to be an acceleration of judgments happening like never before.  My first thought when I heard this was about something occurring in the state of Florida that will be similar to what is happening in California.  Could their possibly be a coming drought as there now is in California?  Time will tell.

ALLESANDRO DENARO, the CLUED-IN, and the CLUELESS

This afternoon I lay down for a short nap during which time I was given a name Allesandro Denaro. I then began hearing the words "clued" and "clueless." From these latter two words, I knew that the Lord was telling me that there are two groups of people in the Church, the clued-in and the clueless. The second group has no idea what is about to happen in the United States of America. No idea that we are heading for a dictatorship. No idea that we are heading for massive judgments that will occur so suddenly that people will not have an opportunity to escape.

In the book of Genesis, we are given the end from the beginning. In other words what happened back then is a foreshadowing of what is coming in the end of times. Jesus Himself referenced the book of Genesis when he made two statements regarding the nephew of Abraham, Lot. "It (His second coming) will be as in the days of Lot," and "Remember Lot's wife."

If you go back to the days of Lot, you will see first that there was a feud going on between Abraham's herdsmen and Lot's. This resulted in a separation in the family. Lot and his family moved their tent, herds, and all, and encamped in an area near Sodom. Eventually, the pull of Sodom was too great for nephew Lot. We finally see him and his family as full-fledged citizens of Sodom. Unbeknownst to Lot and his family, they had just moved into the city of the "clueless." If they had stayed with Uncle Abraham, they would not have needed a clue.

I found it interesting that in connection with these words I was first given the name "Allesandro Denaro." I was not sure if there was anyone by that name. I also did not know the meanings of the names. What I found, however, was a serious warning. The name Allesandro means "defender of man," while the name Denaro refers to both Nero (whose name means "black") and to money. Over the past few days, we have seen the giant corporations in America (emphasis on giants, as in the days of Noah) rise in defense of something God hates - the abomination of homosexuality. This has nothing to do with equal rights. This has everything to do with what Jesus prophesied would come in the Last Days. Don't be deceived! God is giving our nation and its people what they want: a defender of man (Allesandro, Italian version of the Greek Alexander) and a Nero, a dictator and a lover of money (denaro). We are beginning to see the "dark side" of the use of money to gain what one wants. But I would ask you, at what price? Who would have ever thought we would see a travel ban to another state in our own nation over the issue of equal rights for homosexuals?

Do not think God has shut His eyes to what is going on. He will soon let His voice be heard. Shortly we will see catastrophic judgments come on the United States. Our military will be defeated. The economy will collapse (again). Corporations will crumble. Millions will die of starvation, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, diseases and plagues. Internal and external wars will erupt, wars which are already appearing within our nation. There will be total chaos. When they shall say, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction shall come upon them.

Beloved, this is not the time to be clueless. Even God does not want us clueless! Lot was clueless to what was coming on Sodom and Gomorrah, just like most Christians and non-Christians are clueless. He chose to "pitch his tent toward Sodom, where the men were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly." We have seen nothing of the wickedness that is coming! The time to go back to God is now! Get out of Sodom!

If you are in the "clueless camp," now is the time to make the switch. Abraham was secluded in the will of God. He was "clued in" by God in enough time to help clueless Lot. I am not writing this to condemn those who are caught in the devil's lies about homosexuality. I am here to warn you. I have been clued in: judgment is coming. You do not have to stay in Sodom and Gomorrah. There is another city to flee to!

The only way in is through Jesus Christ, who died for you while you were without strength; while you were an ungodly person; while you were a sinner and an enemy of God. God does not want you ignorant of what is happening or what He is about to do. You can know! Now is the time to make your choice. Make the right choice today. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. My email is lgrecu6@yahoo.com. I would be glad to talk with you and lead you into the right camp. Remember, tomorrow may be too late.

THE VALUE OF READING THE WORD OF GOD

THE VALUE OF READING THE WORD OF GOD

In Revelation 1:4-6, John writes to the seven churces of Asia. He tells them that because of the blood of Jesus we have been washed from our sins and have been made kings and priests unto God and His Father.

In Deuteronomy 17:14-20, the Israelites are told the responsibilities of a king of Israel. One of those responsibilities was to write a copy of the law in a book out of which is before the priests the Levites. This writing had to be kept with the king all his days, and he had to read the book every day of his life. Why?

(1) that he may learn to fear the Lord His God;

(2) to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

(3) that his heart might not be lifted up above his brethren;

(4) that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left;

(5) that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

Begin reading the Word of God! Are you having problems ruling and reigning with Christ in this present evil world? How is your Bible reading and study? Here's a suggestion that will help get you started. There are 260 chapters in the New Testament from Matthew 1 - Revelation 22. If you make the commitment of reading nine chapters a day, you will have read the New Testament in one month. Just think. If you keep this up for a year, you will have read the New Testament 12 times or more. Why delay? Look at what the benefits are for taking the time to read for just a few minutes a day. You will be surprised at the change in your life in a matter of months. I am not asking you to write out the New Testament. I'm just asking you to read it. If you are wanting to hear from God, begin reading His Word today. Here are the Scripture references below.

Revelation 1:4-6

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

　

Deuteronomy 17:14-20 (KJV)

14 When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
