Sid: Now my guest Larry Randolph is a prophet; he’s been a gift previously on Messianic Vision. And when you were on television with us Larry you stated a prophecy that then came to past. Do you remember the prophecy and tell us what it was.
Larry: I do Sid it was 2008 I believe it was on your program and the Lord had given me a string of insight into what was happening. And one of the things that was interesting was He showed me that a young man that was famous in Hollywood was going to die shortly and I believe that it was a month or two after the show aired that this young man which was Keith Lecher I believe was his name. And that was the one I think you’re making a reference to.
Sid: Yeah and they reminded me after you were on the air but I want to find out more about you. Your father was a prophetic Pastor; your great-uncle had quite a ministry; tell me about him.
Larry: Uncle Newton was his name; my grandfather’s brother, a great uncle. He was born blind; he was blind from birth and never saw the light of day but he had an incredible healing ministry from what I heard from my family. People would come to his little house in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s and they would be…cripples and blinds. He had a really gift for opening blind eyes and he would being blind and never saw in his life. And he also had an amazing anointing for praying for people out of wheelchairs; so the house was filled with crutches and wheelchairs and people gave testimony to that. And my Dad sort of picked that gifting up and he too had a very very strong healing ministry; however it was accompanied by really great prophectic gift so I grew up in that environment. And I must say I caught more of the prophetic maybe than some of the miraculous; although I’ve seen a lot of that. Although the prophetic seems to be was transferred down through the spiritual DNA of my life.
Sid: Now I don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves but I’m just kind of curious “When did you realize that you were walking in that same prophetic gifting as your great-uncle and as your father?
Larry: You know I don’t think that there’s every bee a time that I didn’t know it; it’s like I was born in that culture; I was born in that environment. We were very small church; my dad pastored this very very small church in the backwoods of Arkansas. And I was born in 1950 and by the time that it was ’53 or ’54 I was 4 years old I was already playing instruments in church and testifying and preaching. Going to the jail services with my dad and praying for people, going to nursing homes prophecying praying over people; that’s what Dad did so I did that with him. So Sid I thought it was normal; I thought everybody did. I thought the Baptist did it; I thought the Methodist did it. I’d never been anywhere but our little church; I thought everybody did that. So it was a shock to me to find out that it was kind of unusual. So it was very familiar to me and it just seemed to be something that was living; like a living spirit that was in our family that I picked up on. And I remember one of my first strong prophetic words was at 4 or 5 years old; I would get up in the morning to go out and gather eggs because we lived on the eggs that our hens laid. And the Lord spoke to my heart; it was an impression in my heart of how many eggs I would find and I believe that it was either 7 or 8 it’s hard to remember that long. But it was exactly the number the Lord showed me and I thought “Wow, I got this gift too.
Sid: Now it sounds to me with a gift like that; a father in ministry that you wouldn’t have had such a bad image of yourself. How’d that happen?
Larry: It probably happened because of a number of things. My father had a 3rd grade education because during the depression he had to leave school and go to work on a peanut farm with his father and my mother had a 7th grade education; so I was born into a very uneducated class in Arkansas; backwoods. We were born in object poverty, the house that we lived in was built out of scape lumber and in the 40’s you could see the air outside; there was no in door heating other than one little stove, there was no indoor plumbing; there was no indoor water. And so not only that we were considered holy rollers at the time. (Laughing) we were called Independent Pentecostals and so because of that it was just kind of sense of not being worth anything. So I had a self worth was very low; bad self esteem, low self-image. I was an inter-vert. Then when I was in church I knew had to preach a little and play mandolin and sing and do a little prophetic but that was because I was safe in that environment.
Sid: So why at age 13 did you run away from home; that’s pretty young.
Larry: Well, a couple of things, my life was so I was having panic attacks, anxiety attacks when I was 5 or 6 years old. And at 6 years old I discovered that I had rheumatic fever which is a heart murmer so I for nearly 10 years I took penecillin 10,000 units a day for that. So the time that I was 13 I added it all up in my mind; man this is not working out. Here I am rejection; poor and impoverished, I feel isolated, I didn’t have a friend in the world, I couldn’t talk to people, I was insecure, my grades at school were terrible, I had rheumatic fever, a heart murmur, we were poor. I thought I don’t want to be a part; I don’t want to serve this God; I don’t want to serve the God that my father’s serving. Although I loved God I just said “Something is different and so I think I’m going to be a rock star. And so that’s what I did; I left the church at 13 and begin to play night clubs for 7 years every night for 7 years to pursue what my life said, you know I was a legend in my own mind. So…(Laughing)
Sid: Were you good though?
Larry: I was very good and then after that I was a professional musician and when I came back the Lord at 20 years old with the Jesus movement I started playing guitar with a guy named Russel Taft who people would probably know his name. He’s a Dove Award. We had the first probably that I know of the first rock gospel group in the south back in the early 1970 or 71. I don’t know the exact years but somewhere in that ballpark. And was very rejected there; no church would have us you know; and of course it’s common to have an upbeat more modern music but it wasn’t then. So that was that, and the I let go of that because of a dream of the Lord and a visitation about ministry and about the prophetic He wanted to bring me into.
Sid: Tell me about that in more detail.
Larry: Well, I had two things, the dream or the …the dream and then there was a visitation from Jesus Himself that followed. I have to be brief, the dream was that I was traveling; in this dream I was traveling across a bridge with all of the guys in my band. It wasn’t my band, it was Russ’s band and I just played guitar; I had just gotten redecated and to the Lord so we were playing in churches again; we were playing rock gospel; it was sort of ahead of the curb. But anyway the Spirit of God was strong on us for youth and evangelism and we was traveling and we were going to Nashville to cut our first album. I had already taken a picture for the album and in the dream the Lord stopped me and I stopped and they went across the bridge and I saw them fade away in the darkness. And I said “Oh Lord, what’s going to happened to me.” And I looked to the heavens and I looked where the big dipper was and there was 2 big dippers; instead of 1 there was together and they began to pour out upon my head. And there was this oil in the dippers in this vision dream-vision down upon my head. And the 2 dippers were 2 distinct ministries; I knew that at the time and then it became 1 steam on the top of my head. And I woke up out of that dream sweating but with the Spirit of the Lord all over the room and had to tell them I know longer can be a musician you know even for the Lord I’m called to other things.
Sid: Now what were the 2 things you saw that you are supposed to be doing?
Larry: You know what, it took me awhile to figure out what they are because what I did I watched my life to find out what the 2 prominent giftings were one stream and they were prophectic, and teaching a prophet and teacher. I thought it was pastoring at first because I love people and I want to pastor but when I went out to minister people never called me back, I was a great pastor; they called me back because of revelation I had. Either word or revelation about things that are coming to pass in the prophetic. So it became apparent to me that the revelatory gift in my life was in one stream and the area of prophecying and words of knowledge as well as unveiling revelation in the scripture and that became clear to me by the time that I was 25 that that was my path. And that’s what I’ve been doing other then pastoring 10 years in my life; which was a good experience but wasn’t my primary calling. My primary calling as you said came right after that dream or had a visitation from the Lord, not a vision, but literally I was wide awake and the Lord came to me and stood before me and talked to me.
Sid: Well, let’s find out more about that on tomorrow’s broadcast but I also want to here many of the things that he’s prophecied that’s come to past. And I also want to know the prophecies that he sees that have not come to pass yet. But your book “Original Breath” it’s the newest book that you have and the 2 CD’s set “Breath of Heaven.” You talk about an area that…and I guess it has a lot to do with your calling but it has a lot to do with the way that you were raised as a child that you had such a negative image of yourself. But most people they don’t realize it but their copies and they are not originals; speak to that for a minute because that’s what your book that you have and the CD’s set are all about.
Larry: Well, they don’t realize the —- giftings and potentials that they have inside of them that God has given them because they’re so blinded by their own upbringing that might have been bad or some bad perspectives of self in the book. And the CD series is alerting to the fact that they are an original and that God breathed an original impartation into their life and no one else owns. They own a piece of God’s breath like Adam owned that no one else owns and they just haven’t discovered it yet.
Sid: So why do people copy everyone else rather than be the original that God created them to be?
Larry: I think its, again I think it’s insecurity because here’s one of the things that the Lord said to me many years ago. “There’s some things you have to be.” And I guess that just goes back to visitation when Jesus talked to me but afterwards He said “You have to be real, you have to be genuine and you have to be as humble as you know how to be; and you have to be authentic because the anointing is attracted to authenticity.” I realized that true anointing comes out of authenticity. He said “You know because He says that when I go to heaven Jesus is not going to ask me “How come I wasn’t Moses, he’s not going to ask me “How come I wasn’t Billy Graphm; He’s going to say “How come you weren’t Larry, how come you didn’t…
Sid: Larry, I’m sorry we’re out of time right now, but I want to tell you something Larry is prophesying another outpouring of the Holy Spirit greater tha Pentecost that is coming to the US, He talks about it; how to prepare for it and how to be the person God’s called you to be rather than a copy. Isn’t it time your authentic.
