Interview with Larry Randolph

[Music] [Applause] randy good to see you good to see you hey i just want i just want i just want to capture some things that maybe you've heard pieces of i've i have said to you personally this part of the history of some things the lord has talked to me about and and now the time is appropriate for it and i was thinking about you this month oh wow you play under that narrative and and some things the lord has shown me i didn't know it at the time so i'll just run through this real quickly so 1987 i am i am i am in southern california and i left arkansas to go to southern california i'm i'm it's 11 at night i'm lying i'm sleeping i'm trying to go to sleep and and i wake up with the sound of rain that's just thundering rain i know you know that narrative but there's more to it i haven't talked about and uh and by the second time i wake up i realize that it's a vision for the lord's talking to me and the third time that i hear rain and i look out the window it's not raining i go back to bed like to sleep and i wake up again the lord is standing at the foot of my bed there's been eight times my life where jesus is it's not a vision i mean i mean not it's not a dream but more personal by being there i'm a wide awake he's a foot and he's preaching at me and he's opened this up he said this to me as it was in the days of noah so shall it be the coming of the son of man and uh i'm going to pour my spirit upon nations and cultures and i'm going to pour rain and unprecedented amount of rain on the earth like the earth has never seen before you will have no context for it the earth will have no context for it it is something that's out of the norm it is something that is going to shake the heavens is going to shape the uh kingdoms of this world it's going to be uh it's going to be a monumental uh off the charts uh move with the spirit of god so but then he began to define to me some things about in my lifetime how i would play into it and and how i would have a noah perception about things and and he said this is 1987 he said i'm going to begin this outpouring in seven years now that was 87. i didn't know at the time that would be toronto and that's where you and i connected in toronto and he said it's going to the beginning of this this this generational right it's a generational rain that's coming with increased volume over the years and he said so i'm going to begin this rain and uh in seven years uh but this is what he said to me but i want you to know something although this rain i'm going to to open up the heavens in seven years is not the great move of god in a sense of a global protracted long-term historical generational concept but it is the beginning of showers i'm going to pour out on the earth and he said i'm going to pour my spirit out it's going it's going to rain in 1994 and by the way that year you know there was the flood of the century and et cetera and i think maybe your church just got flooded and and it was like so you know and i was looking for it we found a but i found you you found john or not we found we're in toronto together it began to happen but anyway back to the narrative that night and lord said this to me what you gonna see in 94 you will have somewhat of a party and it was a smaller part but a part of that but i want you to know something that it is the shower a blessing before the storm there's a major storm of the spirit that's coming after that and and it is the beginning of a refreshing and he said you'll have experience that refreshing and there'll be a number of years that that refresher will gain momentum and then the nation and the world will hit the eye of the storm and and the eye of this storm in this quiet place in the middle of the storm after that refreshing calm there will be my showers here showers are blessings the lord is great he said but in your lifetime before you come to meet me you're going to see and experience the backside of that storm and when the backside of that storm hits it is nothing can compare to you will have no context to it for it the church will have no context so because there's a backside of any storm that's the most dangerous side but the most heavy flooded side and he said to me that that uh it would uh it would happen in in in such a way uh that would be patterned after situated that have patterns you know both theologically and practically and spiritually according to what noah experienced in his time and so uh he talked about this he said so so so although rejoicing what's happening rejoice in the rain is coming in 94. but the be aware that it's just the beginning of a greater flood that's going to come that's some global flood and uh it's a precursor uh and so so so he's talked to me about going through the eye of the storm so you go through the eye the storm and it'll be it'll still be wonderful still be great but and it'll be the time of preparation and uh and he said this to me according to uh the the depth of what i'm going to do will be in direct proportion of depth of preparation that you have preparation uh perceives uh visitation and uh it's just not a spontaneous serendipitous kind of moment where god decides to do something nobody's ready for it preparation is going to determine the level of the the backside of that storm so i'm going to give you an eye of the storm time the church to prepare for what's coming and he talked to me about noah how that noah prepared an ark hebrew says that noah by faith nor prepared in the principle of preparation he prepared or something the death of his preparation was equal to the depth of the visitation that was poured upon him and he said so he prepared an art for the saving of his whole household and uh so fast forward now to the last few years or so um for the last three or four years now i've been feeling this since i've been hearing this rain because i feel like noah like it's going to rain and so i'm thinking i forget about the part about preparation and i'm thinking lord it's going to rain i know i feel it i'm dreaming right i hear rain all the time i i i know this sounds a little silly to some people but i hear the creams clearwater revival song you know about rain uh coming down have you ever seen the rain coming down oh so strong and i hear that all the time and i know it's going to i know it's going to rain it's going to not rain like we've never seen before and let me just for say for the people that would watch this and we'd show this to here so they understand you're not talking about a natural rain natural though you're metaphorically speaking about the outpouring of the holy spirit i know that but i'm just saying sorry yeah i just want to make sure that making it simple for them an outpouring of the holy spirit and noah had never seen rain before is out of context it never rained in the earth before he'd seen a little do in the morning do it not he had when god said rain he had no context he knew it was something from god he had no condom well i don't think we have a context really the only the only thing we really need to know is to prepare according to the pattern the lord shows us to make sure there's preparation to accommodate what god to accommodate the people he had to build an ark that would accommodate two of every kind of and he also had to build an ark that was watertight that would float and and be lifted above the earth and so uh so the last few years i've been i've been thinking about that the lord's been bringing it back to me uh uh in a strong way and said this is this is this time is close upon us this time of this disappoint but what i want to say to you randy and what when i feel for you in a much bigger way than me is that is that the lord is not going to send the rain and the animal's not going to come until noah has been faithful to prepare the ark and it's a building here uh this year is a billion years an expansion is a billion years to make sure that the ark is finished you know a sovereign move of god is coming but it's going to be married to preparation that will accommodate a long-term sovereign move of god and so so if you have if you have uh a sovereign move of god and all the animals come you know and and the ark is built in preparation but it doesn't rain you've got a zoo so we don't want that but if you if you do not build the ark and you don't have the accommodations ready when it comes it's a catastrophe it's like oh my gosh because it rains so so god wants to marry those two things to marry the supernatural and the natural together the natural preparation and so two or three years ago i began to see this coming and go oh my gosh lord we're we're not people are saying we're in a revival time where god's going to pour we are in revival time where god's pouring spirit out but more importantly and then that is a preparation for that preparedness is the word for now and uh and noah built an art prepared it for the saving his household and for this this amazing uh shift that's in the earth that lifted the ark up above the hills and mountains everything that creeped and crawled that was ugly and creepy in the land died because showers and refreshing showers are wonderful but floods devastate they change the structure of the ground they kill things you know and depending on which side of the door that ark that you're on depends on whether death and the death or life and the life 16 inches depending on whether you wrote the crest one of the greatest revivals and record history whether you died in the flood that's how severe this thing is so i was thinking about that again that been on my heart spirit and the lord began to talk to me about this nation and even saying to me that this is a noah and a bill this year especially as a noaa and a building year the flood's coming and and so god has put his finger on on on people to to build the ark and a number of things he said to me first of all every person that's building art prepared for their your arc is not big enough randy ark's not big enough whatever arc you have is not because god's doing something bigger than we even think we can build and comprehend you know in that context in that sense and so i was thinking that through thinking wow what did we do and the lord last year showed me this is like i would call it like a multi-colored vision i looked across the nation uh of uh our nation and as i saw i saw water standing everywhere and i saw arks i saw arcs everywhere but there were huge arcs and there were little tiny arcs and the little tiny arcs had a lifeline to the huge arks that had been built and these huge arcs were the mothership to all these and and when the rain came all boats lifted and all boats floated but it was the mother ark that was feeding into these little arcs they were caring for these little arcs so i know that and so i just when i coming here i was thinking oh wow i just i feel that for randy i want to say some things to one is that what you that you i know you know this but i see this you're a noah among many noah's in this nation in the world and your job has been and is building an art and preparing a place for what god is doing and and and doing the natural practical construction of boundaries and grids and and and uh and uh rightfully you know rightfully putting together both theologically and experientially and and visibly and whatever the pattern god showed no he did it according to the pattern he built according to the pattern and uh so there could be a nourishment uh during this time and and so uh i i saw at least eight or ten large uh mother arcs in this nation and i i knew who some of them was and i know and i just said i've already told rick joner i saw i saw morning stars as a large ark with with uh what's little arcs connected to it i saw you i saw global ministries that's just mother art well all these little are connected to it as well and i saw this nation under the most amazing flood of the spirit of god and these large when the large arks would go up the all boats rose with them would rise with them and uh so i i just want to encourage you randy that what you're doing and what you're doing in census building and building structure and school and pulling people together and and building a foundation and a platform for god to do something is exactly what god is doing some people think what god is doing is waiting for saul remove it well we want the sovereign move to come but not without moses god showed up after moses built the tabernacle after solomon built it according to the pattern and every piece was together and used to say then the spirit of god showed up so it's the practical and the supernatural guys putting together and i just want to encourage you you know in that and you're putting the practical you're a supernatural man what you're doing supernatural but you're preparing as many noaas are a practical art to house and to facilitate a long-term flood that will cause devastation in the earth but will that but that will lift the people of god who are in the ark above all the kingdoms of the earth and i like this part it was god that closed the door on the ark it wasn't noah but it was noah who opened the door when the water subsided and god says now take take control of the earth and dominate the whole earth so i've been hearing our doors closing and opening all for probably a hundred times the last month i hear this door this is the door of the the year of the door it's a year of the art building the art completing you're close to completing the art we're close to completing it to the degree that god will support his spirit out but doors are closing and opening and it is he is the door and and he closes doors and opens and so so we're in this hallway a transition of preparation for what is to come doors are closing behind us and and god is closing but noah's open doors god closes doors noah's open doors and so don't be afraid to open doors don't be afraid to open doors to to to places you've never been before or gone before because when god said that to noah i don't think he had a context for what he's supposed to do other than he he opened the door and the animals went out and inherited the land and and the land was filled with this fresh thing that god had done and so uh i hope i live long enough to see the full expression of that because i think it's going to bleed i think the lord shall be going to bleed into my generation to the next generation this is probably a tri-generational outpouring that god is bringing and it's going to rest upon the foundation of men and those who have prepared for what is coming and who have prepared a place for every animal male and female forever every level ever every uh educational level every every ministry level every gift ever ever every individual it will have the opportunity to ride in this arc that has been prepared and so um you can ask me need to ask anything about that but i just want to encourage you with that i see that noah anointing on you and i see it on bethel it's been on and you know it's been different it's on morningstar i saw it on somebody i saw seven or eight particularly there may be more but major arc the spirit of god and and i was reminded of elijah's on mount carmel and and he sent his servant out to said go see if it's raining he comes back no comes back no six times and you know and uh the seventh time he said you know i see a you know a small cloud like a man's hand he said it's gonna rain get down off this mountain it's going to rain heavy rain like you've never seen before and my point being we have been looking we've been looking nothing but we're one look away from a rain that's going to absolutely devastate the kingdom of darkness and lift the kingdom of god up into a greater place over the hills in the mountains and i feel like the lord said to me i'm going to tell you look one more time like peter who cooked fish all night long and called nothing the lord should castrate on the other side sometimes the great catch you're waiting for is one cast away we just got to keep doing what we're doing keep building the ark keep fishing no matter he fished all night long and caught nothing is weary all it took was one more one more cast on the right side of the boat to bring in a whole net of fish and have an encounter with the lord that actually was of course as you know the uh some of the beginnings of his leadership peter's leadership in the first century church but uh so anyway i i i love it i love you as a friend a long long time friend yes and i appreciate the word yes and it is encouraging and it's it's i think it's a right it's a right on word one point of clarification back to 87 because i remember because i wrote it down what happened in 87 the rain and the three times 94. you got that that part too right that was fulfilled and and the the flood was a 500-year flood that came in the summer of 93 true but the revival hit in 94 and my church got hit by lightning and flooded yeah literally fire alarm goes off question there was things you said you didn't you got in that 87 visitation yeah that you didn't share and i think i know what it was but just for uh for clearing what was the part that you got in 87 that you didn't share and i know there's been things that god's been giving you recently i'm just trying to make a distinction between what's more recent things he's been speaking and what went back to the yeah yeah i alluded to some of it one of us now is there's a difference between a rain and a flood yeah and we've seen rains that revival but i don't know if we've ever seen a flood okay you know and the back side of the eye the backside is the most devastating car it it devastates uh soil it devastates the landscape it devastates properties then and and i don't know how to say this other than to say it like this uh paul said to some the the spirit of the lord is a savior of death under death into other's life unto life and this thing is going to be that it's going to be critical if if if if you're not in the ark if you're not behind that door which is christ he is he is christ is the ark and that door is it's in his sight in in that or if you're not if you're not in there we're going to see the worst the worst and the best of the best so what happens in the world uh perhaps and will be amazingly devastating it will be critical but but but it will be it will pale in comparison to the extent of of the kingdom uh of the kingdom uh that god is establishing in the earth and all the stuff we preached about in the art coming up in a new heavens and a new earth and i mean this is more than just revival it's more than just a shift this is a reader this is a renaissance redo this is a once in a millennium thing god is god uh god is god is doing and it will it will change heavy water changes the geography it erodes foundations it changes it shifts everything that's in its path you have no control over it whatsoever but if your arc is floating all it does is it just lifts it higher and higher and higher and that's that's one thing that i understood it's a little scary like wow the earth is uh uh uh the earth is gonna go through some great travail and pain as it already has but god's kingdom is going to emerge uh because of the obedience to prepare for what is coming you know to prepare in a way not just prepare for yourself but prepare to facilitate those that those that are drawn to what god is what god is what god is doing and it seems to me like we have put a lot of emphasis i say we the church and in my life to a lot of emphasis on the spiritual part and on just the gifting part and not the preparation not the preparation that's a great word thank you for sharing with me what is it that you have been impressed by in the last 30 years what are the things that impressed you what are the things that you thought you know were like misses or near misses uh bull's-eyes we got it right uh yeah you know you you're a pastor now but you're still never will not be prophetic uh true so let's just share some of your thoughts what you think's important for the the church to hear for me to hear um i i think yeah i was just talking to your school some students in school about the uh the prophetic you know and uh the era that we're living it's a prophetic here everybody wants to be prophetic or is prophetic and it really is a in the last days sons and daughters have a prophetic edge you know the scripture is clear on that uh but i think the thing that randy that i talked about that most impacted me is that is that i'm learning to see with my heart instead of my gift that's that's something the lord has done to me since a little boy uh the first prophecy i ever got was from a a woman who was completely blind from birth and never seen in her life and when you would get close to her she couldn't see you but she knew your name she knew what she knew i was a little boy i was five years old and she told me your little boy larry five years old that's why guys do it she saw with her heart not the seeing of her eye and i thought about that all my all of my life and i thought wow you know sometimes we hear things and we have impressions we have this uh we have classes on how to hear and we have formula which is good and that's right and all those are biblicals of course that but but as i grow older i'm thinking i trust my heart more than i trust my gift in the sense because sometimes a gift is not refined enough and especially i was telling them especially in the gift of prophecy i feel like we have i feel like we have separated word of knowledge from the gift of prophecy into two dimensions when they should not they're inseparable they should never be separated and and that the word of knowledge is more diagnostic and uh and the gift of prophecy is predictive and healing and and it would be like going to a doctor that can only diagnose you and never give you a prescription for what he told you was wrong with you the healing for that and i think that we made it a standalone gift with the seeing of the eye and we have we have diagnosed people you know and not been able to produce a remedy or prescription for them which i think is a prophetic is ezekiel 37 what do you see word of knowledge i see bones everywhere there's word of knowledge can they live the prophet said only god you know and and he said okay you you've discerned rightly the church is dead now what you're going to do prophesy to the winds there was a word of knowledge and then there was a creative uh gift of prophecy that that brought healing to what was seen so i think we have majored on word of mouth the church is leaning toward majoring on on like words of knowledge and telling people things that everybody knows but you which is fine and that's good it's a good attention getter it's a good diagnostic tool but if you went to a doctor and they only did that to you and never once followed through with a prescription to make you better you'd quit going after a lot because you know you know that right so so i think i think the new prophetic area we're coming into where we have so uh uh you know uh rightfully so loved the word of knowledge and knowledge i think the lord is going to add to it the faith of prophetic anointing to call things that are not as though they are through the gift of prophecy when god said to uh to uh ezekiel okay you've got the word of life right now now here's what i want you to do i want you to prophesy with these moms and say come a wind of god and come and they stood on the field exceeding that's the prophetic i see coming a prophetic into a one that is grounded in the love of god and and the love of god the heart of god is heart led not gift led and the gift the gift will flow out of the heart nothing jesus did miraculously uh happened because he was developing this gift it happened as an overflow of a heart he had he raised ladders from the dead not because he wanted to do a miracle because he well and he loved him so much his love activated a miracle in the man's life and he was moved with compassion and then he healed the multitudes and paul extrapolates that as you know through uh through the architecture of the new testament to to as paul was putting in order theological order and and practical order uh uh how the gifts work and defining the gifts peter had the experience paul had the theological tuning to that i love that sometimes we want to make the we want to create the theology uh before we let the experience i think you need to have the experience and the theology corrects the experience and so so paul to correct probably what was getting out of hand with the prophetic is what i think is getting out of hand in the world nation today he said this this to me is was brilliantly simple in corinthians he said i want to talk to you about the prophetic but pursue the love of god in other words the trajectory the theological trajectory is there's a foundation the foundation is the love of god desire then you can desire spiritual gifts and especially prophesy why because he that prophesied speaks for edification exhortation and comfort so it was all predicated on the on the love of god i i don't i'm not thinking of anybody when i say this i just think as a whole the prophetic movement has drifted away from from the the uh the germ the dna of the love of god that motivated paul that motivated jesus and and we kind of become famous for the prophetic a lot of famous for words of knowledge etc when they are a tool uh you know there's simply a tool that should be an expression an outgrowth a working of a heart of love because love heals love knows things love never fails love always does the best when you have that you will not even know you did a gift they'll just activate and that's what i love about you i see you operating in that many times i've had the lord beginning to work with me and other men about that so i see a major kind of appalling theological correction happening in the prophetic which community which i love with all my i love the prophetic i love prophetic people nothing but everything needs parenting and everything needs stewarding you know you can't have children without stewarding lovingly and and you don't slap them down if they fail or do it wrong you just say get up and try that was great but you can do better than that and i feel the lord said we can do better than we've done you know and that so so uh i a little troubled i didn't mean to go here but i'm a little troubled by some of the over emphasis on the prophetic and the sense of it's the go-to everything and and half of it is not quite there and half of it you know and i i'm just a little a little uh bothered that because here's what i know about prophetic should be predicated on friendship um friends tell friends secrets i think people are prophetic if you become a friend of god he i don't think he's telling us what we need to know because we're not friends enough with him because friends want to be able to trust something to someone without heaven telling anyone paul cain said it this way prophets on earth are normal but they see and say prophets in heaven are know what they see and never utter ever because they become fr my imputation interpretation was we've become friends with god and friends tell friends secrets we just talk without having to tell everybody about it but somehow we've merchandised that in sort of a way and everything god says you've got to say it in the prophetic i think the lord is pulling the strings back on a lot of that and saying you know i want you to be prophetic friends or sometimes i just want to share things with you because i love you and we're friends i won't even know what i know and you don't need to go tell everybody so i think we're living in a really interesting prophetic age where god is fine-tuning the prophetic uh and and teaching us to see with our heart to let our heart lead our guilt not our guilt leader heart we have to leave from the heart and i went along sorry no that's right i want to ask you follow-up questions uh you're a few months older than me you're my senior by a few months you're 70 i'm get i'm going to be you're going to be yeah you're still the 60s i'm still in my 60s but i'm just a few months behind you having said that i'm realizing that you and i know people that are no longer here that we were friends with absolutely had a chance to serve with that literally are generals in the kingdom yeah and i miss them terribly in the prophetic realm and in the apostolic around the evangelist realm pastors and i because some of them haven't been gone from us that long a lot of people what i'm discovering is we're now beginning to read in books about people that we were friends with yeah and and and i just felt like it'd be really good to ask you about yeah some people that you knew that were prophets and you know like the whole prophetic group that was at kansas city prophets yeah they were what was like like outstanding characteristics you'd think of that person what would you think of what was yeah their strength was their heart yeah you know just make them real to us rather than a name in a book and and we can get a flavor for who was this man or this one could you uh just hit three or four or five shirts i mean we got about 26 minutes so i'd love to yeah maybe a little longer yeah anyone you're picking are you well i'm thinking there's bob there's yeah bob bob jones uh john paul jackson yeah there was uh kim clement bob jones uh john paul uh uh paul kane yeah yeah they have they all had unique specific strengths and weaknesses like we all do that that really it was a life teach teaching for me life lessons for me i think bob i don't say bob bob was the one i miss bob terribly uh very terribly but uh bob um i've seen him do things which is absolutely extraordinary just just just crazy but i loved bob used the prophetic to encourage bob was a living encouragement to spencer he lived to encourage me if he gave you a corrective word he would spin it for encouragement in your life and tell you how wonderful i love that about bob i never said anything to bob in a negative way about myself everything that he didn't spin it for good in my life somehow through the prophetic and when he had prophetic stuff for me or for other people he just had a way of delivering it in a way that was a negative that was fathering and that was very that was very encouraging like you can do better oh he would go he'd tell him something like god that was terrible bob you wouldn't believe what i dreamed i can't believe it was most of my he goes no that was good you know and he would spin it and i would go wow i never thought of the flip side of that like that's that's that is amazing and uh but i think the thing i loved about bob the most was as like i said he was a friend of god and and uh and the lord just uh he carried god's heart in that way about friendship he loved people and so and so i've been using the lion lake lately when you begin to love people and you get forgot you leak more than you speak and that's what bob it wasn't what he spoke is what he leaked something oozed out of him was it was a heart for ben and it was the emphasis of paul's instruction to the church for prophets for the gift of prophecy for he that speaks to the church speaks for edification excitation and comfort to stare up to cheer up and to exhort you know and that's what bob did and i love that he didn't have to say anything he's just just in his presence you know and his weight he carried a weight that that didn't have a voice but it had a feel to it that that you walked away you you had an infusion of something uh uh prophetic from god that encouraged your life now i miss that you know i i really i miss his encouragement this is human and he had a humor he was very funny he was very funny he had a great help how old were you when he met bob joyce i met bob at kansas city fellowship when i was there with the pickle sent me to his house and never been to his house before and you guys know the news house too yeah did you and he and viola over there and he said put your hands up and i thought oh my god put you i thought he's going to rob me you know he's like put my hands up and because he would try to figure out which one you were yeah and he goes and he'd put his fingers on if you're a teacher yeah you feel that right there you feel the wind on that finger yeah that's that's that's the evangelist the pointing finger that's the apple stock that's the that's the prophet the ring the pastor the ring finger or the thumb you know absolutely like the thumb yeah with the whole thing so he did that to me and then he got through not and i was going through a really hard time of downing my self-rejection and he goes huh wait huh oh boy my goodness you got the worst route of rejection i've ever seen in my life and and so his wife is violent doing dishes and and she's clowning around and she's not saying nothing and he said i'm going to cast that thing out right now and she took a pot down she changed she said no you're not not my house get that boy out of here bob now the rejection's twice as bad and he takes me out to the truck and backs me up against the truck and and this is again what i like about his and his edification execution and comfort side he told me who i was in god he didn't tell me who i wasn't he told me who i was and who i was going to be and i i love that and that's that's that's that's the way of uh i call it the principle of displacement the way the way you cast devils out is you put so much christ it displaces that displaces rejection just like christ you know and that's the hope of glory it displaces all the other things so i love bob and i miss him so uh i my math bad so you would have been how old that would have been uh 30 uh you know what what year would that have been 85 or 6 or something like that uh yeah 36 years old okay yeah and uh great to tell you so i would bob at a vineyard uh regional conference somewhere and we've gone to the elevator and he goes when we get to the meeting i'm sorry i know they have to do his voice because that's all i hear in my head yeah when we get to the meeting he said there's going to be a little boy he's going to fall out of the floor and hits like a snake he said when he does the lord told me when he does that to just shut up don't say nothing because you and i don't have the authority to cast it out we only have the authority to bind it so we just find it and i'm thinking what and so we get to the meeting and there's a couple thousand people in this this whole regional vineyard conference and we sat down and we sat in two seconds a six-year-old goes leaping over the front row of the floor and hissing like a snake in bobbily that tells you so [Laughter] and so i started saying i repeat he good i said we you can't do it and everybody's trying to cast that he said can't cast it out just find it i already told me and so they bound and took him out and i go huh that was bob it's like what did you get to what he was so unique yeah he was unique he was very the most confident person in the world you know his little line was my daddy loves me i'm so beautiful he couldn't sing that he would sing anyway you go my daddy loves my voice and i call his song hic hop he'd get into a rhythm i see coming through the tree for you and me called hip-hop he cough that's what i call it but he goes well you laughing at my daddy loves my boy he loves it when i see him and he said and my daddy says i'm the best looking one in this conference hey so what would you say if there's anything was there anything from bob that you learned or his impact on your life that had that wrote about something you know as iron sharpens iron uh is there anything that you sense or if you don't want to follow up with that's fine because we are limited time you want to talk about kim or john paul or because a lot of people they don't this next generation never met him yeah yeah it's true i think the thing that again was just his loyalty and his friendship and his love for you know his love for my wife he loved laura like a daughter and and uh actually she still has he gave her all his uh sweatshirts with the eagle and his coat and everything says bob's you know no not very people know that but anyway so he he loved and so i i just put in this context of what month before he died he called called the house and bob doesn't call anybody you know because i used to try to call bob and go bob i tried to call you for two weeks he goes well my phone was unplugged and i don't want to talk to him about you something plugging i said bob i tried he said well if he was hearing god you wouldn't wait till i plugged it in whatever pop anyway so he never so he called me tell your mother he died and he said hey i just want to call and tell you and laurie that uh i love you and your family to me well i gotta go and i i knew that oh my god but it was that that affirmation of he loves you any any and no matter where you're at in life you're all right you're going to be fine you're good and i and i i think i carried that i think i received from that encouragement thing like we're here to encourage people you know and i he'd have little kids prophesy over it wasn't it was in a little conference something rich owner put us in with all the kids the prophet saws like 300 kids and i just thought i'd do something crazy bob jones the prophet i said eu kids got a word for bob jones and this is what i learned and one little kid goes i do and he stood up he says bob jones the lord told me when you grow up you're going to be a real man of god and i went oh there i could believe that no this one so we get up bob is quiet we're walking down the hall and bob goes i needed that and i loved his few milk to be corrected by a little child he said i was getting the head of the horse on anyway and little pride because i thank you i needed that son you go back that little kid and hug you love that so i learned to receive it like i think i learned to receive god through whatever vessel it comes through and that was part of many things bob was you know many many many but too many pop stories what about john paul uh john paul i think the thing that i think the thing that stole john paul if his conviction john paul was a man of convictions i've never met a man of convictions that would die on that conviction and that if he had a conviction from god the devil nobody is going to take it away from him i love john paul it's meant a conviction and uh and so the last three four years of our life we became more than friends closest closest with friends and i i love john paul's uh no tolerance no bend no and his pulling himself out of a place of not educated and self-educating him feel himself theologically and pouring into the books i loved i loved his uh his rise his self you know his self-taught uh prophetic journey that he was on and i i really loved that about john about john paul i wouldn't have known that yeah he was so articulate and so well seemed to be so well educated but self-educated like yeah yeah it's totally completely self-educated and uh and uh i i i love that you know i love that i love that about him uh probably the most and also this may be i also loved about in the people who know about him he would go through great periods of years of just the enemy crushing with depression and not self-worth but you would never know it he'd still step up to the plate and be and be the father and be that be the voice and the word of the lord you know and i loved he was just strong he was very very very strong in his convictions a man of convictions you know loved that you're not going to talk about anything he thought he knew yeah yeah look at that who else on your it would be on your agenda for someone it's very powerful oh kim kim from columbia what about king i know for one time we when we were out in california oakland when you were feeling wet not feeling well i took a lot of the meetings because you were resting in the cell phone remember that one yeah and that i've always thought that larry was talking about kim clement then chris well i meant just to see on the pastor just a young prophet he's he's so accurate he's so accurate it just you know and i bet you now once i learned about people i bet she's talking about kim but i don't know if i was right or not yeah yeah i i met kim in the early 80s and uh when he was still wearing a white suit with flip tails on the back of his coat instead of the piano he came to vista california to do still living in south africa and i was scheduled to do a prophetic conference with clement kim and so uh people don't know the kim that i met then because he became invisible to power later and his word he was a word of knowledge expertise is amazing good but his word of knowledge had diminished more of the time everybody assembled him when i saw what i saw was breathtaking i just couldn't i i the first thing i did the thing with kim fleming i went home and i said the lord lord you're not even that good i was like goodness gracious i mean i mean kim you know uh uh uh his word of knowledge was like your prescription your doctor's name your dress your sister's name and when you left and and disillusioned just he just would and alphabetically line people up and tell him it's just like i never heard anything like that from some of the older prizes you know and again as he got integrated into american to the american culture it's a lot for whatever reason that diminished he still had a great word or not but that that practice but that that part was just uh just i was so impacted uh uh uh by that and but i thought two prophetic guys connecting so i have a word for the lord for him i think i tell him i think you're supposed to move to america show me you're moving america he goes that is not the one of the lord i won on that one and so i got him a gig you know he got like one of his first thing at eagle's nest in irvine california and et cetera and and i think i think he was an interesting prophet in that it spontaneity he had to be somewhere in the spirit to touch what he was looking for he didn't get it ahead of time nothing came ahead of time ever it was in the moment in the moment and in the moment had to do it was attached to his musical because capacity he was trained as a classical pianist from a kid and he would it was sounds there was he would hear sounds that would trigger i call it synesthesia they call it in the medical community where your neural pathways are close and people seek see smells and hair colors and yeah i think it was a spiritual synthesis and he could and he would have to get a place where music would trigger upper seeing his vision is and it was just an amazing interesting uh man who by the way i was a drug addict at one time and then when he came reading he didn't start as prophetic he was a pastor he so should pastor for quite a long time as a pastor as a worship leader etc and what people know about kim was probably one of the greatest evangels i've ever met in my life he never went anywhere that he did not lead people lord with his word of knowledge and his prophetic gift i don't care if it's a restaurant for the hotel people do not know that about california i was not aware amazing it was like his second gig was prophetic at the church he was some evangelist he was a i've never seen a prophetic evangelist that profoundly prophetic you know and uh i was with him a few days after he had spent a long time um ministering to administer to a lot of high-profile people but to uh plus his name that died of overdraws uh some years ago on his airplane uh uh the detroit uh musician that prince prince i was there with him after you just spent time with prince and there's were where a lolly described his life in the room he was in and things that happened to me is amazing i mean the people he influenced that we know nothing outside he influenced in my opinion more people outside the church than inside the church so i love that that marketplace outside the church prophetic gift that ken clement operated in evangelism uh his love for the world his love for people outside the church that very few people know about because they only saw him in a church context i love that and that stretch here that gave me like yeah that's we got to take this outside we gotta get out the take it out of the pew take it out of the box he was an out of the box man loved it i so regret their time is running out i but i want to ask you a question ever since i met you and started interviewing you and asking you questions guys were wanting to learn about the prophetic and i used to say james golf you know i'm a vineyard i get where's his knowledge but i'm not prophetic and he would say quit saying that you vineyard guys are prophetic it's the opposite side of the same coin word of knowledge what you said earlier diagnostic yeah yeah but it's it's still a prophetic gift and you can you just you you know you you really are you may not know it when you're doing it but anyway my question was this because this is back to one of the first things i asked you about years ago 25 30 years ago was about your family and as we were talking that you had prophetic people in your family now you grew up in a family that's kind of like my family not too well educated right third grade education my dad fifth grade my mother yeah and my dad told me i did that son i never really graduated eighth grade i went through it twice i made it through junior high so i saw so i embarrassed my whole family by being highly educated yeah my question was this do you see or believe or your opinion that that there's something about genetic uh cold in the spirit realm that in families that it's often if there's a grandmother a great grandmother mother that prophetic often you'll see that coming in down the line in that family line and and yet there's others who may not have had that but but they god uses them prophetically but often it seems like there's really strong prophetic people yeah you can almost see it in like a genetic bloodline genetic normal genetic line it was in their family what's your thoughts on my my great uncle newton great great uncle newton uh which was three generation for me was blind from birth it was a blind prophetic healer uh my granddad would tell me so he did go to his dad uncle newton's his dad's brother's house crutches will cheers this was like late uh 1800s early 1900s he was blind from birth never sought but his healing ministry was amazing his prophetic word of knowledge and gift was that my dad had a piece of that to carry two generations down so i grew up with my dad my dad would have this little pentecostal church and he would tell me on saturday night sun tomorrow there's gonna be a lady named diana there she came she has a demonic spirit which was to pray for she'll be wearing a red dress and i also used as a kid i thought everybody i thought the baptist did that i thought the catholics did that i had no idea i used to say dad was so prophetic he whipped us before we sinned you know so like dad i wasn't thinking about that but well you were going to do it next week but no but but but some of it is genetic some of it is culture you know i'm so that some of it is i believe it is spiritually genetic but some of it is growing this is a little about first memories of that is how my dad knew stuff you know and some of my first prophetic i would always try to practice my prophetic little how many birds would i see in the tree how many eggs was in the nest how many you know that also some of it is culture environment cultural environment and but some of it is i keep saying this i don't want to believe it but you leak a much more we're spirit beings and we leak much more than we speak and we carry weight we have there's a weightiness that we care that has nothing to do with what we say but it's who we are we what we the deposit we have what we carry and i think we're attracted to that when we know we don't know why we some people it's just because they have weight in the spirit and paul said do not measure yourselves one to another but he didn't say don't weigh yourselves we're not measured in heaven we're wait for our weightiness and so there's a weightiness that some people carry that when you get around it you do catch it like like a like a bacteria you know where you you catch it but so it's a bit of catching the weightiness it's a bit of growing up in the culture and you become culturally institutionalized or sensitized to that and some of it is i think spiritual genetics like aaron's sons became priests and some of that was culture so that was they grew up in the temple but some of that was because their father aaron carried it and they took his coat you know i mean that's why aaron's sons were never had to be re-anointed they they were an anointed aaron was anointed and that all in his code he was only with was put on they they wore their father's anointing in the coat that he had on and so so i think it's a lot of a lot of those things that doesn't exclude everybody else because paul peter made it very clear in the last days your sons and your daughters only shall prophesy right but there are different degrees of levels right of prophetic and like you say words of knowledge because you do this words of knowledge don't have to be just words on knowledge just for a prophetic word but where's knowledge for healing that's such a little you know the prophetic is so broad it's so it's so intricate in the sense of uh in the way you uh express it you know like you know with healing etc it's a diagnostic gift no matter how you put it whether it's somebody's name or whether it's their disease right you know well larry i wish we could talk longer i look forward now you want to live you're in better health i see you i'm going to believe i'm not going to worry about seeing you i know i'm going to see and we'll pick it up and we because i think there's some things as we're getting greater and greater yeah there's things that we just need to talk about that's just what we know from the people and memories and things that it can be a great uh blessing for people who did not have privileged annoyances can i say one more thing to you and it will take 20 seconds okay the greatest truth i think i've learned the greatest place i've come to in my life is this i've been crying out the lord for a lot of things in my life like lord speaking about this lord do cheers to me and i found out something that's a jewel to me friends true friends are jesus in disguise and you're jesus in disguise i mean people are i think i think as we learned that that god invests himself in our in friendship you know and and he said no longer call your servants but friends but i've been looking for god in a lot of places when and he's been standing in people that are my friends beside me and i so i want to thank you for that you've been a friend you've been jesus in disguise to me you really have and a lot and i've seen that moment i thought wow how amazing it is that that if we could find god in people we could find him quicker than we can probably in our 40-day fast you know we're fasting and praying for something that's standing next to us that god's deposited in a friend next to us friends are jesus in disguise thank you and you've been such a help and encouragement to me i always wondered oh god you're going to give larry something to share with me and i appreciate when you do you share and when he when he doesn't you
