Are Greg Locke’s ‘Sweating Patterns’ a Sign From God?

Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, TN, took to social media to suggest that the Lord was sending him a reminder through his sweating habits.

Readers of Protestia will recognize Locke as the foul-mouthed, spouse -abandoning “pastor” who notoriously divorced his wife of two decades and quickly married his secretary, claimed that “Mitch McConnell is being controlled by Illuminati hand signals,” threatened a Dunkin’ Donuts worker with kicking his teeth down his throat, and put up signs telling potential visitors” If you Come to Church in a Mask, I’ll Kick you Out.” 

Like folks who see Jesus’ face in burn toast or the face Mary in a baked tortillas, Locke commented in a recent Facebook post that while he was preaching a sermon on the ‘protective arms of angels that surround God’s people’ he noticed that he had sweat through his jacket in the pattern of angels wings, remarking that this was a “simple reminder from the Lord that his word will not return void.”

Not even close. This is called “mysticism” and the Lord does not work this way, particularly to disqualified pastors who ought not to be preaching. All it means is that he sweats a lot, and that we hope he has some good anti-perspirant. If we’re talking about Satan doing false miracles? Perhaps, we can see that. But the Lord of glory using Locke’s excessive bodily secretions to make a point? Hardly.
