"SOMETHING WORSE THAN AN EMP BOMB IS COMING"


Larry Grecu

Baker, Florida

April 30, 2015
Last year, while I was staying with my mother who was recuperating from cancer surgery, I read a book entitled One Second After, by William R. Forstchen. The book tells the fictional story of the loss of a war by the United States. The cause of the loss: an electromagnetic pulse bomb, which pretty much puts the US back into the Dark Ages. The unimaginable and unthinkable results of this attack are graphically portrayed in the novel, and just the thought of some of the results is sickening. For those of you who have read Alas, Babylon, you have some idea of what I am talking about. But, Forstchen's book goes beyond Alas, Bablylon. As one reviewer of the book stated, "A blood-chilling wake-up call that chaos and death are but a power plug away . . ."

I stayed up most of the night reading the book. It was a real page turner for me, somewhat like The Firm was years ago. However, what happened next took me by complete surprise. As I fell asleep, I had a dream in which the Lord spoke to me and said, "There is something worse than an EMP coming to the United States." In the dream I thought to myself, "What could be worse than an EMP? I have just read Forstchen's book, and you are trying to tell me that there is something worse than an EMP coming?" It was then that the Lord spoke to me and told me that the "something worse" coming is CANON LAW. For those of you who do not know what canon law is, I would encourage you to do some research. If what the Lord spoke to me comes to pass - and for the sake of our country I hope it doesn't - the goal of the Roman Catholic Church will have been achieved. The United States of America will have become a Roman Catholic country under the complete, totalitarian rule of the pope and canon law!

For those of you who have never been governed by canon law, you are in for a big surprise. You can actually live in a free country like the United States and still live in pure hell, all because of what the Roman Catholic Church calls truth. Its grasp reaches to the highest heaven and even to the depths of hell. It will take you to purgatory and will give you a leader who thinks he is God Himself. It is either the pope's way or no way, and unfortunately, many of our current national leaders are under the sway of this demonic deception.

I want to remind the reader that I was given this dream a year ago. That was before the pope's planned trip to the United States to see our President; before his plan to make a speech before a joint session of Congress; and before his plan to speak before the United Nations. It all sounds so positively beautiful. But, if I have been warned of the Lord that something worse than an EMP is coming - as in canon law - then, we better take heed to the warning! Our President, by the way, after his visit with Pope Francis, said that the pope is "the real deal." Not much discernment there!

Before the new pope was elected, I had a dream about the upcoming conclave election results. In the dream, the Lord gave me a number. When I awoke from the dream, I walked into the kitchen and looked at the clock, which had another three-digit number. The Lord then spoke to me the following: "Take the first number from the dream and look up the Hebrew word by the number in the Strong's Concordance. Then, take the second number and look up the Greek word by this number." When I did, the words were "black ram." I told some friends of mine later that day that the new pope - who later became Francis I - would either be a black national or a JESUIT! For those of you who are so enamored with the new pope, I would strongly advise you to read the warnings of Francis of Assisi regarding what he had to say about the last pope. For those of you who are not enamored, I am going to simply warn you that if the Roman Catholic Church gains complete control of the United States, there will be persecution and martyrdom of Protestant Christians throughout the United States! Do not be fooled by those who seem to be on the side of what is right - as in pro-life, anti-homosexual, traditional marriage, anti-euthanasia, etc. The goal of the Roman Catholic Church, and the Jesuits in particular, is to take complete control of the United States.

Several years ago, back in the 1990s, I had a dream in which I saw a UFO which suddenly appeared in the sky. It then hid behind a cloud. Next, I saw a white, plastic-like jet appear in the sky over the United States. I knew it was an enemy, and when our jets took off to go after the bigger jet, I thought, "They are going to take the white jet down." However, much to my surprise, instead of our military taking the jet out, they escorted the jet into the United States! As the jet got closer to me in the dream, I saw the seal of the Vatican on the tail of the jet, and I knew that we were being taken over by the Roman Catholic Church. The Lord spoke to me then that great persecution was coming to the United States through the Roman Catholic Church.

Some of you who are reading this are Roman Catholic. My goal is not to offend you. It is to get you to do some homework, to get you to read some of the warnings from your own prophets and priests. Our nation is in for some serious times, and the past history of the persecutions will be nothing when compared to what is coming. The truth about this pope may be hard to bear, but my hope is that you will seriously study what the Bible warns about the last days deception that is coming and that in many ways is already here. My only prayer is, "May God have mercy on us all!"

TREASURING UP WRATH


TREASURING UP WRATH

This is a warning that I gave almost one year ago about the judgment I saw coming to the United States because of decisions that were being made by the Supreme Court regarding the legalization of homosexual marriage.  If the judgments that have taken place in the last year in our country weather-wise (and they are judgments) are any indication of what is coming on a nationwide level, all at once, we are in deep trouble.  Our nation, through its so-called "wise counselors" in the United States Supreme Court,  is headed to destruction, an inevitable destruction.  As we approach the upcoming decision on gay marriage by the Supreme Court, let us pray that these men and women will turn from their wicked ways and turn our nation back to God.

 

 
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES DECISION, OR LACK THEREOF, ON GAY MARRIAGE HAS TREASURED UP WRATH FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IS COMING TO THE UNITED STATES AS A WHOLE!


GOD'S WARNING TO ME THIS MORNING AS I WAS AWAKING

LARRY GRECU


OCTOBER 7, 2014


This morning as I was waking up, I heard the words "treasuring up," and I immediately knew that it was referring to something that is being stored up by the United States that is not good. In Romans 2 and the first part of Romans 3, the apostle Paul lays out the seven principles by which God will judge people (individuals) at the end of the millennium. One of these principles is that of "accumulated guilt," and that principle is based on the truth that the individual will have despised - or deemed as nothing of value - the RICHES of God's goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is meant and was meant to lead each individual to repentance.

When the individual does not treasure, value, or esteem the RICHES of God - His goodness, His forbearance, His longsuffering - the heart of the individual becomes hard and impenitent (refusing to repent and turn to God) and TREASURES UP for itself WRATH in the day of wrath and revelation from Heaven of the righteous judgment of God. This hardness of heart means that the person's conscience cannot be pricked, no matter how forcefully or sharply God applies the pressure. There is no compunction, no feeling. The same applies to the United States.

The Lord has been applying the goads or pricks to our national conscience, but we have refused His warnings. He has used His goodness and forbearance, and He has been longsuffering. But, we have turned our backs to Him, and now the day of wrath is upon us, and we are racing to judgment. How can I say this? Because these same principles of judgment that are applied to individuals can and will be applied to nations, including the United States of America. God is no respecter of persons (another principle of God's judgment), and the United States is not going to escape God's wrath just because people think it will, based upon our past performance. HERE IS THE WARNING OF WHAT IS COMING AND WHY.

As most of you are aware, yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) declined to hear appeals from five states - Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin - seeking to uphold same-sex marriage bans, thus paving the way for legislation in six other states and setting a course for legislation in a majority of states in the union. As a result of this decision, the judges on the Supreme Court of the United States unknowingly or knowingly added to the Treasury of the United States a sum that will affect every citizen of our country in the not-to-distant future.

This Treasury of the United States is not the treasury you might be thinking of. This treasury is not the substantial income that vendors might be thinking they are going to derive by performing homosexual weddings or providing for receptions and honeymoons. The treasures that have now been added to the coffers of the United States by SCOTUS are "the treasures of wrath" reserved for the day of wrath that will shortly be poured out upon the United States.

God has continuously been warning our country with smaller judgments in diverse locations, but the day is coming and now is that there is a judgment coming that will affect THE ENTIRE NATION at once. We have gone along in our dream world thinking that God does not see, God does not care, or maybe even thinking that God is dead. I have news for you: He is alive and well, as we will all find that out soon, whether we want to believe it or not.

The Word of God warns, "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil" (Ecclesiastes 8:11). There is a place that either the individual or the nation can reach where they come to believe that God is not watching. The judgment has not fallen, the sentence has not been executed, and God has apparently remained silent. But this is all part of the forbearance and longsuffering of Almighty God - what I have described above as the "riches" of God.

We have scorned these riches of God's goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering and have instead chosen to treasure up for ourselves the wrath of God that will be poured out in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. God will be known in one of two ways: either He will be known in His goodness or He will be known in His severity. Apparently, there are those who have decided that as a nation we want to know Him in His severity. "The Lord is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God (Psalms 9:16-17).

Although the nation will be judged as a whole, I do want you to remember that God's ultimate judgment will be on the individual at the Great White Throne judgment. There will be NO second chances! Now is the acceptable time of salvation. If you do not know that Jesus Christ died for you while you were yet a sinner, while you were yet ungodly, while you were yet an enemy of God, and while you were yet without strength (to save yourself), then NOW is the time to ask Him to forgive you of your sins. He has paid the price you cannot and could not pay. Now is the time to look to the Cross where Jesus Christ became the Sin-Bearer for your sins, died in your place for your sins and was raised again for your justification (acquittal).

God is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to the saving-knowledge of Jesus Christ, our soon-coming King and Judge. You do not have to fear the coming judgment on the United States or the Great White Throne Judgment IF you have made the life-changing decision to believe God for your righteousness. Those who have made this decision have only to look forward to glory, honor, and incorruptibility, life eternal. Beloved, do not delay to make this decision.


TREASURING UP WRATH

There is an urgency in my heart that the time is short, and we cannot afford to waste another second of our time. NOW IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME OF SALVATION! NOW IS THE TIME TO REPENT AND TURN TO GOD, the God who declares righteous the ungodly who believe on Him. He has done for you what you cannot do for yourself. While you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you. You cannot work your own justification (acquittal). It has already been obtained for you. No matter how bad you have been, Christ died for you. Turn to Him. Place your faith and hope in Him, and He will do exceedingly , abundantly above all that you could ask or think!

Florida Senator Don Gaetz and His Son, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz:
 Two Mice in the Cookie Jar!
 
Larry Grecu
Baker, Florida
April 28, 2015
 
Years ago I had the privilege of having a very brief talk with Corrie ten Boom, the Christian from Holland who, along with her family, suffered persecution during the Nazi regime of World War II. Her biography, The Hiding Place, portrayed her family's willingness to risk their lives to save the lives of as many of the Jews as they could from the Nazi death camps. The book became a worldwide bestseller and was eventually made into a movie. There was one scene in the book that has always stayed in my mind.
 
A local pastor comes to the ten Boom home for a visit. During his visit, Corrie and Betsie ten Boom try to convince the pastor to take one of the babies they are trying to save, especially since the pastor lives in the countryside. The pastor refuses and quickly leaves the house, but not without warning the family - Papa ten Boom, Corrie, and Betsie - that they are going to get themselves into serious trouble when the Nazis find out what they are doing. The pastor did not want to risk his life to save Jews. After the pastor left, Corrie ten Boom is very upset with the pastor and basically comments to her father, "How could this man consider himself to be a Christian, much less a pastor?" Her father's response was priceless: "Just because the mouse is in the cookie jar does not make it a cookie."
 
Well, apparently there are two mice in the Tallahassee cookie jar, one in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives. Recently, the two mice, Senator Don Gaetz (a Lutheran) and his son, Representative Matt Gaetz (a Baptist), voted in support of Senate and House bills respectively, that allow homosexual couples to adopt in the state of Florida. In an April 21 newspaper headline, Florida State Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, also said he does not support a proposal allowing private agencies to deny adoptions by gay and lesbian couples ON RELIGIOUS OR MORAL GROUNDS.
 
It seems that the Gaetz father-son legislators do not know their Bible, and as a result are playing both sides of the fence, under the guise of non-discrimination and the changing times. Apparently, their ministers are afraid to confront them with the truth! They are probably too busy protecting their 401ks and their livelihoods. Well, here's what your pastors are not telling you.
 
The days of Elijah are upon us, and the days of God's judgments are upon our nation. As the saying goes, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something is going wrong in our country. If you think you can support and pass this kind of legislation WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES in your own lives and the lives of the millions of Floridians you are serving, you do not know your Bible. Worse yet, If you think you are born-again Christians, Sirs, you need to check your status.
 
You cannot serve two masters, which is apparently what you are doing. You cannot vote in favor of people whose lifestyle God considers an abomination and then walk into your churches - Lutheran or Baptist - and say you are worshipping the God of the Bible. However, it is apparent that both of you have decided that you CAN do this AND that YOU KNOW BETTER THAN GOD.
 
There probably have been many Christians who have mistaken you for fellow-Christians in the past. They may have even worshipped right next to you on a Sunday morning. But, now I hope they see the truth: the Gaetz men have been posing as Christians. Why, I noticed that one of the articles even said Don Gaetz "shepherded" the bill through the senate. Now, that's scary! Sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing to me. Like the minister in The Hiding Place, Gaetz men, you are just two mice in the cookie jar. And, NEWS FLASH! Just because you are in the cookie jar, Sirs, it does not make you a cookie!
 
My hope is that you repent and hear the gospel BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

DO YOU KNOW THE GOSPEL?

A SAD TESTIMONY THAT IS SO SIMILAR TO THE CONDITION OF CHURCHES TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES!
 
Larry Grecu
Baker, Florida
April 22, 2013
 
One of my favorite commentaries on the book of Romans is by William R. Newell, who was a Bible teacher under Dwight L. Moody. He was asked by Mr. Moody to begin conducting teachings on Romans, which both men believed to be the cornerstone of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But, here is one of the interesting and sad things discovered by Mr. Newell when he ministered the truths of Roma...ns to people ALREADY on the mission field:

"The author must be permitted to say that he had part in the Student Volunteer Movement for foreign missions of fifty years ago; that he saw hundreds of earnest and honest students "volunteer" for the mission field. But afterwards, in teaching the book of Romans, especially in China, he had many a missionary say, "We never knew this gospel before." It is nothing short of tragic to send men and women out against the hosts of hell in heathendom without teaching them through and through and through this mighty gospel Paul preached: - which gospel he says is "the power of God unto salvation." And he comes to further detail in saying, "The word of the cross is the power of God." Education, medication, sanitation, and general sweetness - what does Satan care for that? The word of the cross is the great wire along which runs the dynamic of God - and it runs along no other wire." (from Romans, Verse by Verse, by William R. Newell, p. 275, footnote)

Brothers and Sisters, will this be your sad testimony on the day of judgment? Are you even being taught the Gospel in your church? Do you even know the goal of the Gospel, GOD'S Good News, for those who need salvation and those who already have it? Do you even know why you need the Good News, even after your salvation? All the answers to these questions are things you should know about the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. May this message stir your heart to seek again to gain a full understanding of the glorious gospel of God! Paul the apostle did not fail to equip the church of his day with the whole counsel of God. How much more do we need this equipping today! Hopefully, you are being equipped in your church. If not, may God have mercy on you NOW, and especially if you are being sent out to your part of the mission field without the gospel!
My Response to J. Lee Grady's Article in Charisma Magazine (4/15/2015), "Don't Get Caught Up in Last Days Hysteria"

Larry Grecu
Baker, Florida
April 22, 2015


On April 15, 2015, an article appeared in Charisma magazine entitled, "Don't Get Caught Up in Last Days Hysteria." It was written by one of the magazine's long-time writers, J. Lee Grady, author, award winning journalist, and ordained minister. One of the things that caught my attention as I read the article was the use of the letter "D" in the four reasons he gives for not getting caught up in all the hype or why you should avoid an "unhealthy overemphasis on the end times." As some of you may be aware, in March, the Lord gave me a dream which involved the letter "D." In the dream He revealed to me many coming events and/or words which would be important to the Church, both in the United States and in the world "in these Last Days." So, the use of the letter "D" by Mr. Grady definitely caught my attention. However, when I read Mr. Grady's article, I was sickened by his total twisting of the Scriptures, and especially the effect his statements will have on the already slumbering saints in the Church in America.


Mr. Grady's reasons for not getting caught up in Last Days hysteria were as follows (and notice the "d" words): (1) It is distracting; (2) It is depressing; (3) It is deceptive; and (4) It is divisive. If you believe everything Mr. Grady has written in this article, then you will fall into the category of "D" is for Dumbbell, when you should be in the category of "D" is for Disciple. Why? Because a dumbbell takes everything someone says about what the Scriptures say without searching the Scriptures! Here are some of the false statements in the article - and these are the ones under just one section of this article, 'It's distracting':


(1) Nowhere does the Bible give us permission to speculate about when Jesus will return or when the world will end. Notice the careful choice of the verb "speculate". A few years ago, I was attending a church where the pastor said that we could not know the time of the tribulation. I wrote a letter and asked him how it was that we were not going to know the times, especially when the book of Revelation is filled with days of time, as in "time, times, and half a time," forty-two months, and two sets of 1,260 days. I never got a response to my letter.


I know that in the past people have been deceived about the end times and dates; however, that does not mean that there is no truth hidden in the Scriptures regarding the last days. That does not mean that you throw the baby out with the bath water, as the saying goes. Actually, if you read the books of First and Second Thessalonians, you will find that we are told that we are not to be left in the dark regarding the end times, the return of Jesus, the rapture of the Church, the Antichrist, and the Tribulation. I would prefer to believe the apostle Paul than Mr. Grady. Think about this. God seems to be the one obsessed with time. Jesus came right on time at His birth. He entered Jerusalem a few days before His death - right on time! He died on time, rose on time, and ascended on time - all times relative to the Jewish calendar. And, He is coming back on time!

(2) He gave us one major focus: to reach everybody with the Gospel. Really? I don't think so. Again, if you are in the two types of most American Christians, dumb and dumber, you would swallow this lie hook, line, and sinker. Paul the apostle said that he was taught by the resurrected and ascended Christ, so it stands to reason that Jesus did not stop talking at His ascension. Paul had not failed to declare the whole counsel of God to the Church, but apparently, J. Lee must think that the only counsel we last days Christians need is about witnessing. I wonder what J. Lee did with the Scripture in Acts of the Apostles which states that the Holy Spirit actually forbade Paul from going into a certain area to "witness"? J. Lee would probably be outside Noah's Ark telling all of them to get off the Ark and get out there and witness! He would probably be sending Lot, his wife and their daughters back into Sodom. Of course, Lot's wife probably would have been thrilled at this kind of preaching!

A few years ago, I spoke at a church where the pastor allowed me to give a test to the congregation. Most of the test had some pretty basic questions. For example, What are the six foundational doctrines of the church? Name the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Name the nine fruit of the Holy Spirit, etc. After the meeting, one lady came up to me and summed up what I believe probably spoke for most of the congregation, even though, in fairness to this church and its pastor, she was a visitor that night. She said, "We have never been taught this in my church." To put it briefly, she has never been taught the basic foundational doctrines of Christ! What is your answer to that, J. Lee? Do you think J. Lee would allow me to come into his congregation and give the test? Probably not. They would be too busy evangelizing! So much for the whole counsel of God!

(3) Evangelism should be our obsession. If you agree with Mr. Grady, then please find out where he is preaching/teaching and go there. I think I have said enough about the "evangelism" subject.

(4) The healthiest churches I know are those that are winning the lost, discipling new converts and investing their people and money in reaching the nations. This may be partially true, but is it a good enough reason to have a lopsided church that emphasizes evangelism and reaching the nations without even having some understanding of Bible prophecy or what Jesus says about the End Times? If you do not realize that we are in the end times when we will be forced to make a choice, Christ or the mark of the beast, you are in serious trouble!

(5) Churches that become consumed with eschatology drift into weirdness, and they eventually lose sight of the Great Commission. What is the weirdness? Who are the ministries J. Lee is referring to? Who are the churches? OR, is J. Lee too much of a coward to say? Is he afraid of being challenged by some thinking Christians? Eschatology is probably one of the greatest witnessing tools Jesus has given to the Church for the Last Days! Oh, but I forgot. J. Lee wants me out there witnessing. Apparently, he thinks I should not get too caught up in Matthew 24, or too caught up in Jesus' warnings about the last days being like the days of Noah and Lot! Whether J. Lee knows this or not, Jesus Himself gave the eschatological warnings of the events surrounding the days of Noah and Lot, warnings that He said we should pay attention to. J. Lee, I think I will stick with Jesus. When the ark door shuts, I want to be on the inside, Bro!

(6) Jesus' last words to His followers were clear: "You shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:11). Those may be the last words of Jesus that J. Lee Grady has read, but for the informed disciple - not the dumbbell - those are NOT the last words of Jesus to His followers. If that was the case, then you might as well rip out all the writings of the apostle Paul from your Bible. But, J. Lee, before you take that drastic step, take a whole year off, and study nothing but the book of Romans to find out what Paul says that Jesus told him - AFTER Jesus' resurrection and ascension. And, by the way, all that Paul wrote about in Romans is the Good News, the Gospel we should be spreading!

Here is the final deceptive statement J. Lee makes in just this one section of his article:

(7) Yet when He ascended into Heaven, the angels rebuked the disciples because they were staring into the clouds. They said, "Why do you stand looking into the sky?" (Acts 1:11) In essence they were saying: "Don't sit around and wait for Jesus to return. Get busy doing what He told you to do." Again, if you are a dumbbell, you would be thinking, "You know, J. Lee is right! We should be out evangelizing instead of looking for the Lord's return. We should avoid an unhealthy overemphasis on the end times!" Unfortunately, for the uninformed (dumb and dumber) Christian, there would be an immediate "Amen!" to J. Lee's statement. But, just what did the angels say? And, on top of that, what did Jesus say before His own ascension and after He had given the command to go into all the world and preach the Gospel?

Beloved, I am not going to answer any of those questions. What I want you to do is to search the Scriptures to see if what J. Lee Brady has stated in his article is true. I personally do a lot of reading and studying in my Bible regarding the Last Days. I am not distracted; I am not depressed. I have been a Christian over 40 years. I have never been more excited about what the Lord is doing and where He is taking the Church in this hour!

While Mr. Grady says that the Last Days hysteria is deceptive, I would say, he is the one deceived. If you believe him, then you are the one who is going to have to give account for your actions on judgment day. Your choice is between what Mr. Grady is espousing and what Jesus has told us and warned us of. The end times prophecies were not given to us to completely ignore while we are out witnessing! According to apostles Peter and Paul, they are given for our instruction and warning. But, apparently, J. Lee wants to leave you in the dumb and dumber categories.

Is the discussion about the last days divisive? YES! And rightly so. Do you not think it was divisive in the days of Noah and Lot? Noah and his family were divided from the whole antediluvian world! Lot and his surviving family members were divided from everyone else in Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities who did not have a clue as to what was getting ready to happen.

Christian, for the sake of your family, friends, and enemies, read your Bible. Read what it has to say about the End Times. If you are accused of being hysterical, so what? Do you not think that Lot was a little hysterical when he went to warn his relatives about God's coming judgment? Do you not think that Noah and his sons were a little hysterical when trying to warn the people of coming judgment? What is happening in churches that do focus on the end times is not just people crying, "Wolf!" It's the real deal. God is trying to warn His Church, but if you listen to what J. Lee and his type have to say, you will be shut out of the ark or left in the cities set for destruction. The choice is yours. J. Lee or Jesus.

Dear Elijah List, If You Don't Like My Comments, Quit Sending Me Your Emails!

Larry Grecu

Baker, Florida

April 21, 2015


American Christian, if you do not think you are going to be persecuted for your faith in the United States of America, think again. Listen to what Paul the apostle warned the Thessalonikan Christians:

"For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches (plural) of God, which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews . . . 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" (I Thessalonians 2:14; 3:4).

Many of the so-called apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in the Church in America are lulling their congregations to sleep with promises of peace and safety, wealth and prosperity. However, if you read Paul's warnings, he prophesies of persecution to those who live Godly in Christ Jesus. If you choose to ignore the very plain word of God, you will not be able to stand in the day of your trouble! Paul was so concerned about the Thessalonikan Christians that he sent Timothy to check on them to see if they had stood the test. "For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain" (I Thessalonians 3:5).

All over the world, Christians are now dying for their faith. One well-known prophecy website, the Elijah List, says that (in spite of all the prophetic words that people have received over the years from their website) many of their readers are scared of what ISIS is doing to Christians in the Middle East. Of course, this prophecy website is using this as an excuse to solicit money so they can put encouraging words on their website from those who are the "real" prophets. I guess they don't want the prophets who are trying to warn people ahead of time that you are not going to be able to hide from persecution, even in the good, old US of A! Here is part of what the prophetic website email said (and by the way, this was the third email I received!):

"THE STATE OF PROPHETS AND PROPHESYING TODAY

There are some SHOCKING things happening that I want to just mention, but first THANK YOU for generously helping us get to this level. It’s what we’ve been praying for! Yes!

Now, because you answered our prayers with your giving, we’ve begun the search and interview process of hiring our 2nd Computer IT person. That has been what’s keeping us from posting fresh and encouraging prophetic videos.

WHAT’S SO SHOCKING?

Many of our readers are feeling frightened with WORLD NEWS lately. As I write this, it’s all over the news that ISIS continues to proudly put to death those who believe differently than they do. Most of those being murdered in cold blood by ISIS, are devoted CHRISTIANS. ISIS IS PURE EVIL! And yet God is even pulling some men and women out of ISIS and offering them SALVATION, just as the Lord did for the Apostle Paul. Listen, this is what the devil does! He goads people into committing evil and then his demons assigned TO YOU and ME start whispering in our ears that God has abandoned Christians, or "If God allowed those men to die, He’ll probably allow YOU to die too!" the demons whisper!

This is why our upcoming videos on our PROPHETIC.TV site of encouraging prophecies are SO CRUCIAL. Many in the Body are scared to death. ISIS is actually freaking many out! We need to encourage them. That’s what 1 Corinthians 14:1-4 is about... modern day prophesying is primarily to encourage and build up a discouraged BODY OF BELIEVERS (my emphasis)."




Do you mean to tell me that in all the years of this website's existence that they have not had enough encouraging, I Corinthian 14:1-4 - type, prophetic words for their many readers who now are "scared to death" and "actually freaking out" because of ISIS? Oh, I forgot, they need money! Do you mean to tell me that the Body of Christ or some of its members have ignored the Word of God and put more faith in personal prophecies that are not coming to pass? Apparently so. That is downright sickening! Read your Bible! Talk about real prophetic encouragement for the End Times!

Christians DO NOT NEED encouragement the likes of which this website is suggesting! They need the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! This is the TRUTH: All that live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution, yes, even persecution from your own countrymen! What this website is posting is one of the grossest misuses of the gift of prophecy I have ever heard, and yet its request for money is endorsed by three nationally and internationally known prophets of our time. What a disgrace! Is there no judgment of this kind of fleecing the flock by God's prophets? Or are all of you going to remain silent? If so, Apostle or Prophet, you will answer to God! What kind of encouraging prophetic word are you planning on giving to those being martyred in the Middle East? Are you going to tell the martyred, "You know, I really thought I heard from the Lord that you were NOT going to be beheaded, that you and your family were NOT going to suffer persecution." What kind of prophetic, encouraging word are you going to give to those who have been left behind to fend for themselves? What a joke!

Christian, if you are not getting the whole Word of God from your church, you better go somewhere where the whole counsel of God is being preached, including Paul's warnings about persecution. Don't let these so-called prophets and apostles put you to sleep. They are exactly what the Bible warns about, pillow prophets who are nothing but a bunch of money-grubbing "Christians" who better repent! The days of their nonsense-prophesying are coming to an end. The spirit of Phineas is rising in the land and will put to death the Balaams who are only wanting to rake in the gold, while telling you things you want to hear, things you might hope are true, but are not the Word of God.

Prophets and preachers told Christians in China and Rwanda that they would not have too suffer persecution, that God was going to keep them from any trouble. The result? When the persecution came, many Christians denied the faith and did not want to hear about God, Jesus, or the Bible. Is this what we are sowing here in the United States? Time will tell. Christian, you have a choice. Prepare yourself with the truth or carry around your wealth, health, and prosperity prophecy all the way to your persecution and execution. I am not saying God cannot deliver. If God delivers you, praise Him. If you are not delivered in the way you thought you would be, praise Him. The TRUTH of the matter is this, "All that live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." For starters, why don't you see what happened to Peter, James, John, Paul, and Stephen.  They just might be able to give you the "present" truth you  need to hear today and in the days ahead! 

GOD, GAYS, NCIS-NEW ORLEANS, AND CHRISTIANS IN THE MILITARY: SOMETHING IS COMING, AND YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

GOD, GAYS, NCIS-NEW ORLEANS, AND CHRISTIANS IN THE MILITARY:  SOMETHING IS COMING, AND YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

Someone whom I know quite well, told me of a TV program she was watching recently.  The show was NCIS-New Orleans,  one of her favorites.  It is now one of her ex-favorites.  In an episode that aired a few days ago, a baby is kidnapped while the father is unloading groceries from his car.  Apparently the baby is left in the car seat while the groceries are being taken out of the car.  While the father is carrying the groceries into the house,  someone jumps into the car and drives off with the car and the baby still in the car seat.

The kicker for my friend was when a man comes running up to the apartment while investigators are trying to determine what happened to the baby.  They try to stop him, but it is then that he tells him that that's his wife in the apartment, and he has got to get to him/her.  If you haven't figured this out yet, the man and the other guy in the apartment are husband and wife who have adopted a little baby girl, the kidnap victim.  Well, at that point, my friend got up and turned her TV off and told the Lord that was going to be the last episode of NCIS she was going to watch.

As if to confirm to her that she was making the right decision, the Lord blessed her during her Bible reading the next morning.  She said she had never really paid much attention to this Old Testament scripture.  But, when she was doing her daily Bible reading, she opened to Leviticus 20, and in this passage, she read the following:  "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:  they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13).  She felt like the Lord was letting her know that she had made the right decision in turning her TV off.  My answer, "Absolutely!"

I thought there were some other interesting points to this show that TV-land is definitely trying to push.  The "husband" was black and his "wife" white.  The white "wife" is also in the military.  I mean, this show apparently tries to cover all the bases from gay marriage, civil rights and the gay agenda, gays in the military, gay adoption, etc. all in one episode.  I am surprised they didn't have the rainbow American flag hanging out in front of the apartment along with a yellow ribbon attached to it, saying, "We support our troops!"

Folks, if you don't think we are living in a time of absolute confusion, you better think again.  BUT, I do want to remind you, as I recently wrote on my blog, that God is not going to put up with US (us and the USA) much longer.  There is coming a revival in the military that is going to put a halt to the takedown going on.  God, the real commander-in-chief, is getting ready to move in a mighty way.  He will not be mocked or defied much longer.   The judgments coming on our country are going to be horrific, but they will cause people to seek God in a way that we have not seen in a long time.
 
In a dream I had recently, the Lord spoke to me and told me, "I will not be outdone by the devil."  He told me that there was coming a revival in the military that would shake the country, as Christian men and women stood up for righteousness and refused to go along any longer with the gay agenda presently existing in our military.  Many of these men and women are going to pay the ultimate price for their stand, but there is coming a holy boldness as in the days of the early Church when the apostles told those in authority, "Do what you gotta do, but we are still going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and live according to what the Word of God says" (Larry's paraphrase).

If you haven't heard the news, some of our Christian military chaplains are already taking a stand, are already paying the price of the loss of their careers.  Do not think that just because you, Mr. Military Man, do not stand in the pulpit, that you will be exempt from having your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ tested.  The lines are being drawn, and God is going to give all of us the opportunity to see who is on the Lord's side.

To the homosexuals reading this post, I have this to say.  Do not continue to believe the lies being shoved down your throat!  Jesus Christ is a God of change, and when you are born again, you become a new creation.  All things are new, old things have passed away.  The judgment for your sins, and they are sins, has been paid by Jesus Christ when He died on the cross for you.  He didn't wait for you to change.  He died for you while you were yet without strength, while you were ungodly, a sinner, and an enemy of God!  You can't get much worse than that!  We have all been there!  But, now is the time to choose.  Salvation has come to your house today!  It is no accident you are reading this post!

The Lord spoke to me that many homosexuals are going to be affected in a positive way when this revival comes.  The example set by the military men and women willing to take a stand is going to cause homosexuals to ask what these true Christians have.  I believe that there are many homosexuals who have been wanting to see true Christianity, and God is getting ready to show them!  God will use their stand to provoke many homosexuals to jealousy in a good way.

Within me today, I have a real sense of urgency.  Time is short for our country.  We are heading for judgment.  May God have mercy on us all, and may God bless our Christian military men and women with an outpouring of His Holy Spirit that will bring power and boldness beyond what we could ask or think!  I pray this in Jesus' Name.   Amen!
