What a legend.
15:15
And he's still traveling the world.
15:18
I'm not saying that's what you're supposed to do.
15:19
I'm saying whatever God has called you to do, there's no expiration date on your assignment until it's time for you to fully graduate into glory.
15:29
And we trust God with that.
15:31
But I feel like right now as we're ministering to kind of both sides of the generational coin, He's touching those, yes, who are young.
15:38
We're gonna pray into that a little bit more in a moment.

Well, I've done that a lot through the
53:03
night, you know.
53:05
I'm up a lot and up and down some.
53:08
And I do think about what God has done for me, how he's blessed me with my health.
53:15
He's always provided my needs, always, and through whatever it comes from, east, west, north, or south.
53:24
And I've never, ever been without God.
53:30
And that's something I can say and not brag.

67:04
What about old Fats makes him one of your favorites?
64:04
What, what were some of those influences or some of those, some of those sounds that you wanted to make that w- weren't gonna fit with Ralph and the Clinch Mountain Boys?
64:14
Uh, probably the songs, they wouldn't fit him, you know, that I wanted to get into.
64:21
Uh, some of them maybe would, but I don't think, uh, you know, they would fit Ralph.
64:26
They just, he was, he did what he, what he did, and, uh, and...
64:33
But I knew that I could, I could come up with things that would be better for me, and, uh, you know, uh, it would be, just suit me better to do my own thing, you know? And we left on good terms and, and, uh, no problem at all.
64:49
Ralph was always behind me all the way.
64:52
And, uh, he told me one time shortly, oh, it's probably mid-'70s or something, I guess.
65:55
W- what do you, what sort of songs appeal to you?
6:08
Give me some clarification of the landscape.
6:10
I don't want to get picky on this because I celebrate whatever God's doing, but it's vital that we know the differentiation between all those different words.
6:18
So renewal is when people who are already hungry for the Holy Spirit, hungry for God, get a fresh touch of God.
6:23
And I celebrate that.
6:25
I think of Toronto in 1994.
6:26
You had a lot of hungry believers, burnt-out Christians who came to this church off the runway in Canada, powerfully touched by the Spirit.
6:35
But by and large, it was believers who were already hungry for God.

The encounter with God is what precipitated his launch into the prophet Isaiah you read about.
6:31
Education
6:31
... education, all of these places, technology, innovation.
6:35
If you're called to those places, become a sent one, but recognize the spiritual infusion.
6:41
Lance, I, I feel like what the Lord is doing right now, you're watching, I feel like some hearts are burning, saying, "Larry, I do the secular job.
6:48
I do the secular job.
6:49
How can what I do participate or contribute to what you and Lance are talking about?" Here's the deal.
6:55
Show up and recognize two things.

17:46
Right.
3:53
That's what I'm going for.
3:54
Um, but names will, of, of the speaker and preacher will be removed to protect the innocent.
4:00
I was hosting an event in South Florida.
4:02
We did 12 years of over 100 revival meetings in South Florida.
4:06
We had a prophetic leader in, uh, fantastic guy, real deal, but he, he was preaching in such a way where the language was very charismatic-heavy, uh, supernatural.
4:18
And, you know, if you had a doctor or a lawyer in there, a Christian, they'd be like, "What in the world are you talking about?" And I remember Mercedes picked me up from the airport.
4:25
She had watched our meeting online, and I, I came almost looking for some affirmation, being like, "Oh, d- you got to watch it online.

The encounter with God is what precipitated his launch into the prophet Isaiah you read about.
