1 1 Is there a supernatural dimension, a world beyond the one we know? Is there life after death? Do angels exist? Can our dreams contain messages from Heaven? Can we tap into ancient secrets of the supernatural? Are healing miracles real? Sid Roth has spent over 35 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid for this edition of It s Supernatural. SID: Hello. Welcome. Welcome to my world where it s naturally supernatural. My guest is so accurate in his predictions that he has direct access to top U.S. government officials to give warnings of what he sees happening. How would you like to find out what he sees happening in the near future to the United States of America, the former Soviet Union and Israel. Are you interested? I absolutely love the gift of prophecy. I'm reminded of Samuel. It says, "Not one of his words fell to the ground," meaning they were right a hundred percent of the time. Now Larry, when did you first realize you had a gift that you knew things that you had no business knowing? LARRY: Probably four or five years old. And that was my first exposure to me bringing the gift. My father had an incredible gift. So I was raised in that environment, so you know, was brought up and taught. SID: You know, you were raised in poverty. SID: You've had, as a young kid, panic attacks. SID: No friends, low self-esteem. SID: And then at 13, he runs away from home. And I guess it's a good thing you didn't find the guy that Elvis Presley found, with the big cigar. He's playing in night clubs. SID: And he's doing his own thing. But you knew better. Why did you do your own thing? LARRY: I did my own thing because I was raised in a church. It was a wonderful church with gifts. It was sort of steeped in kind of, you know, tradition. And there was something in me that said there was more out there. There's nothing wrong with what I got, but there's something creative in me. There's something out of the box in me. There's something I want to do that's different from the same old, same old of yesterday's thing. I'm a Renaissance man. I'm from [unintelligible]. And I didn't know what that was except my expression was sort of, I thought was in music, I'll find that expression in music. So I ran away. I was running away from the legalism, and the boundaries that locked me in, to a small band with expression in my life.

2 2 SID: Okay. In his early 20s, God did not forget about him. What happened, Larry? LARRY: My early 20s, I decided I was a legend in my own mind as far as a musician. And so, and God began to deal with me. I gave my heart back to God because I was new to the Lord since as a little boy, a minister in the church since a little boy. So I gave my heart back to God and I took a job as a staff minister at a church in my early 20s. And long story short, and this was one of my first encounters with the Lord. It set the stage for everything that I am today. I was going to sleep one night and I had been praying for a long time about the Lord to visit me, to help me find, you know, what's my destiny, you know. Because it's destiny by design. We just don't have a chance. It's destiny by design. I thought, what's the design for my life? Why am I here? Who am I? What am I doing on Planet Earth? What's my call, etc., etc. I was drifting off to sleep, a late Octoberish, fall night in Arkansas, and the leaves were on the ground. The leaves had fallen from the tree, and so you could hear the sound of any crunch as you walked on the leaves. I heard the sound of leaves crunching under feet in the front of the house. And I immediately thought, you know, maybe there's a burglar in the area, because there had been reports of burglars. So immediately, I was gripped with fear. And I thought, should I call the police, you know, what should I do? Of course, at that time I lived in backwoods Arkansas. You would stick your head out the window and yell, "Police!" But so I didn't have a phone and I thought, how will I get the police? And so I'm laying in my bed with the bedroom window six inches from my face catching the wonderful Autumn breeze. And as the footsteps turned the corner of the house, I knew it was coming to my window. And at that moment, things changed, the atmosphere changed and the Spirit of God fell on me. It was the most amazing, anointing [unintelligible] that I had ever experienced. And I knew that I had a visitation from God. I knew that wherever Heaven was at, somebody came down from there to visit there. And as it turned up to the corner, I realized and recognized the presence of Jesus. I recognized the presence of that overwhelming love for me, and etc., etc. As he came to my window, it was a figure, but I couldn't see the definition of his face because it was, he was so clouded in glory and actually love, love like I couldn't see through the veil of love. So what happened is everything turned red, a most beautiful living red, became, it was no longer a color, it was a living thing. And that red was the agape love of Jesus. And it hung like a cloud over my bedroom. It came through his face, his body, into the screen window to the top, and it hung thick, and it began to fall on me like a mist. It was a liquid red cloud, and I realized it was liquid agape. It was liquid love. And as I began to breathe it in, as I breathed it in, everything unclean and everything not right disappeared and the Glory of God began to fill my soul. And I realized at that moment that experiencing, Paul says "the incomprehendable love of God, neither death or nothing can, things to come, things, to pass, demons, angels, nothing can separate me from the agape love of God." So it was my first encounter with someone that I thought loved me unconditionally. SID: Tell me what that change, what was it, the contrast? LARRY: There were two things that happened at this intersection that became a tipping point for the rest of my life. And the two things, Sid, were, one, was I was aware of one thing. I was aware that in my life, I would make some major mistakes, and we all do. And I was aware of that. But I was aware that no matter what I did, no matter what my mistakes were, no matter how I stumble, Jesus loved me unconditionally. And no matter what happened in my life, he had already paid the price for it down the road. So as long as lived, I was covered in an unconditional

3 3 love by that. So that set right something in my spirit about being unloved and rejected. And so I was thinking, wow, unconditional, there's no condition. This man loves me beyond imagination. It was amazing. Then for the first time He said something to me. He had never spoken. He had said to this, "Larry, look at your hands." And He said, "Why did I put your hands on your arms?" And thought immediately, I thought, to feed myself, to play guitar, to preach. And I said, "Lord, I don't know." He said, "I put my hands on your arms because human hands are an extension of my heart. They're an extension of heaven." And He taught me how to use my hands and lay hands upon him. He said, "Now I'll show you something about who you are. This is what you do. Your hands are never to hit, never to smite, never hit anyone with my hands. I don't shove with my hands. He said, "Have an open hand, not a closed fist." He said, "Live a life with an open hand. You're to affirm with your hands. You're to love with your hands, touch with your hands. You're to bless with your hands." He taught me about how he used his hands to heal people. And then he said this to me, "Look at your fingertips." And I looked at my fingertips and He said to me, "Does anyone else have the fingerprint that you do?" And I said, "No, I'm the only one." And I remember He distinctly said it with Scripture of the psalm, "You are fearfully and awesomely made." I knew that also meant distinctly, uniquely made. SID: You are fearfully and wonderfully, and uniquely made, and God has a destiny for you. And I m going to believe as we continue with Larry, it's going to unfold. We'll be right back. We ll be right back to It s Supernatural. We now return to It s Supernatural. SID: I'm having the most wonderful discussion with Larry Randolph about being who you are called to be. SID: Rather than being a copy. Talk to that a little bit. LARRY: I realized at that moment when the Lord talked to me that one of the things I was allergic to, if I can put it that way, was sameness. I was born in a world of sameness where people thought that being the same, everybody being the same, was seeing the same way, was unity. I didn't realize that God is a God of harmonized diversity. Everything in the universe is in harmony, but it's diverse. There are no two stars alike, no two raindrops alike, no two DNAs alike, no two hair strands alike, no two invertebrate alike, no two bacteria like. No universe, no star, nothing is alike in God's universe. And I realized that I, too, had a unique reflection and I was the craftsmanship of this one of a kind phenomenon that this great artist had designed. I was a Mona Lisa. You're a Mona Lisa, one type. And I thought, how true could that be, because God

4 4 is a genius artist. He's the artist of maximum diversity. That means He's incapable of repetition. He's incapable, you don't ever paint two Mona Lisa's. You paint one and that's it. And I realized I'm unique, I'm real, and I realized that authenticity, my authenticity is what will attract God's friendship, the anointing in my life. And the Lord said to me, "You have to be real. You have to be you, because I've made you different. No one in this world can do what I've called you to do because they don't have the hardware, the DNA footprint. They don't have the destiny, the design that I put in you." Every person in this world has a Divine destiny, a footprint from that reflection of God that no one else owns. So if I don't be me, the world goes without seeing that part of God. SID: Okay. You have learned how to bless people. SID: By giving them permission to be unique. Explain that a little. LARRY: I feel like one of the deficits of the church is a lack of fathers and mothers who give permission for people to become. It's called equipping saints. And we've been whipping the saints. And so equipping the saints means that, like your children, you give them permission. You don't tell them, you're going to be a doctor like me. I give you permission to follow your wildest dreams and be what God has created you to be. That's what a good father does or mother does. So what I've done, what I do is I ask people, what is your wildest dream? What's God made you to be? Is it a musician, is it a doctor, is it what are you unique about? I give you permission as a spiritual father to be everything God has called you to be. Because we are steeped in a theology of sameness, we need somebody to break the mold in our life for us to become what God has called us to be, which is different. SID: I'm going to ask you to pray for us. SID: To break the mold of being copies. SID: It's time for us to be authentic, unique and fulfill our destiny. Now you had two encounters with the Lord. Tell me about them briefly. LARRY: Briefly, the one encounter with the Lord was the Lord, I woke up one night and the Lord, as He does many times, He stands at the foot of my bed, which is His favorite spot, the foot of my bed, and He sang to me. He sang the song to me, "Have I Told You Lately That I love You" and it was just amazing. I wept under the love of God and how much He loved me. And He loved me because I'm a unique reflection of himself. As Paul said, "We have this treasure laid in vessels." I'm a piece, something in me looks like something in God, that looks like nobody else. So He loves that piece of me because that's a part of Him. That's an original breath He breathed into me. So as I lay there, He said this to me, "Larry, I have to ask you a question." And He said,

5 5 "If you found out tomorrow from the doctor you had a terminal disease, how would you live the rest of your life?" And I knew it was a hard question. And I began to weep, and as I did, I began to say, "Lord, I would love people more. I would encourage people more. I would tell my wife I love her more. I would tell my office, have I told you lately that I love you. I would have a softer heart, I would forgive, I would not live with a closed fist, but with an open fist." And when I got through this long list, I said, "I would hold babies." And I even said this, "I would dance more." I don't know why I said it. But I would dance with my wife. It seemed like the simple things were the most endearing things to God. And He said to me in this strong voice, "Larry, I want you to live the rest of your life like you're terminal tomorrow." And I realized we all are terminal. We just don't know when. SID: Tell me that second experience. LARRY: The second one after that, sometime after that, the Lord visited me again at the left side of me. And He said this to me, which was a shocker to me, "Larry, you're going to be seeing me pretty soon." And I'm thinking, shoot, you know. SID: What would you think? LARRY: Like now? SID: My goodness. LARRY: And He said, "You're going to be seeing me pretty soon and I want to ask something of you, a favor of you." And He said, "I want you to live a zero regret lifestyle." And what He meant by that, He said, "When you come to see me I want you to come with no regrets because I don't want to have to wipe tears away from your eyes." And I thought, in the scripture it says, "And the lambs that were taken by the river and he shall walk with tears of Heaven." And I realized the tears of Heaven are regrets for not being what God made us to be and become. And this is what He said to me. I said, "What do you mean by that, Lord?" He said, "I want you to maximize every inch of creative space and talents I put in your life. I want you to forgive everybody that's hurt you. I want you to live your life with zero regrets. When you come to see me you can smile, have no tears, and I can say, 'well done, good and faithful servant.'" SID: You made a statement to me. SID: This is so profound and so wonderful that the Lord told you He wanted your heart. LARRY: Heart. SID: Explain. LARRY: Gifts are given. Character is grown in the soul of adversity. He said, "When you come to see me, you can't bring your gift with you because you need a word of knowledge up here. I'm

6 6 here. Can't bring healing with you, can't bring preaching. The best preacher is in Heaven. You can't bring your apostleship. Only thing you can bring in Heaven is your heart and some of your talent," because I'm planning on playing guitar with David when I get there. So He said, "You can bring your heart," He said, "because what, you've lived in a world where your gift is bigger than your heart, and in Heaven the heart is bigger than the gift." SID: I'll tell you what. Hold that thought. I want to find out what God has shown Larry will shortly come to the United States, Israel and Russia. We'll be right back. We ll be right back to It s Supernatural. We now return to It's Supernatural. SID: Larry Randolph has got contacts in high places in our federal government, and they've learned that when he says things it happens. Give me one example before it happened. LARRY: A number of years ago when we had the spill on the Gulf, the spill, the explosion, two months before it happened, the Lord showed me clearly that that was going to happen, and that there was going to be an explosion in the Gulf that was not terrorist related, but it was going to be environmentally related. It's going to affect the ecosystems and all the coastlines, the whole Gulf of Mexico. I began to tell church intercessors. In addition to that, I already had contact with D.C. So I called them and told them, and of course, they were very curious about, you know, is this terrorist related? And I said, no, it's environmentally related. And so they said, we will keep it in a file here. But anyway, so it did happen. I'm glad it was environmentally related because I like my telephone. SID: What did God show you about cancer? LARRY: He showed me that there would be a cure for cancer in my lifetime that would be as easy as taking a pill for a headache. SID: That's so wonderful. LARRY: The doctors would have a breakthrough with it and everybody would, He said to me, everybody would get credit, the doctors, but the wisdom will come from Him. He said, "But I'm secure enough to deal with that." SID: Now tell me about, you actually were taken in the spirit around the globe and you saw what would be happening throughout the whole world. But tell me about a country that's in the news a great deal, the former Soviet Union, Russia. Tell me about that.

7 7 That was in the month of September, I saw a recording and video. I was preaching. I was taken around the world in my spirit to a lot of different places and shown some things. Some of the things have already come to pass like the [unintelligible]. I talk about that, and some other things. But I saw an angel, I saw coming from Heaven, I saw this giant sword and it was stuck in the heart of Russia. And it was in Russia, this sword was in Russia, I heard the words, "The thoughts and plans of man will come to nothing." And so I had some time to distinguish between this as exactly what God says and this is my interpretation. I would believe that would mean, whatever intent Russia has in the sense of any harm or anything, that it will come to naught because God is in control. God loves the Russian, Ukrainian people, all peoples of Europe and all peoples of the Soviet Union, and I believe God is going to do a checkmate in that particular situation. SID: Sounds good to me. Tell me about Israel. LARRY: I saw this was, this is exciting to me. I saw Israel, and as I'm looking around the globe, I saw the land of Israel, and I saw it like I was three or four miles up in the atmosphere. And from the dust of the ground of Israel I saw this image coming out with dust, and I recognized it somehow in my spirit, it was King David and he was fully dressed with a robe on and with a sword, and he stood up for war. He was ready for war. And He said, and this is what I heard, "When David said to Goliath, 'this day shall God deliver you into my hands,'" and the Scripture said, "And he ran toward Goliath," and I saw this warring Davidic spirit to come out of Israel to take its enemies down. And I heard the Lord say, "The safety is Israel shall not be compromised." SID: I agree. Now briefly, very briefly, U.S.A. LARRY: U.S.A. A number of things. But one that struck me the most was the fact that the U.S.A., especially those in higher government, from the very top to bottom, were not only in for a humbling, but a humbling beyond embarrassment. And the Lord has decided to answer the blood of our forefathers of this nation to end with prayers of intercessors as He did with Abraham. If he was righteous, He would have saved Sodom and Gomorrah. So many righteous in this country and God has heard the prayers, and God is about, the Scripture says, "If you don't follow the rock it will fall on you." The rock is about to fall on America in the sense, I don't mean there's some great judgment, but in a sense of humbling, which will be judgment for those that aren t humble. It's going to come from the very top of the government to the very bottom. We're going to see a great humbling, and I believe that's this year and next year in the government of the United States, because God is going to set right some things. Because the Lord said to me two years ago that the United States is going to, has received a period of grace. If Jezebel could get a space for repentance and revelation, why can't we. God has extended grace to this nation. And the jury is out in some instances, because it depends on how we react as people of God and partner with God. SID: The humbling is coming. LARRY: The humbling, definitely, yes.

8 8 SID: Now would you pray right now for us to be, have permission to be who God called us to be, right now. LARRY: I will do that. Father, we thank you. One of the difficult things we have to deal with is we're all born an original, we're all born unique, but the tragedy is most of us die copies. Help us not to fall into the sameness category, Lord. Help us not to copy. We're not imitators of men. We're imitators of Christ. Lord, help us to be what you called us to be. Help us to be us. Help us to show the creativity that you've given us and help us to disclose every piece of the DNA that you put in us. Lord, I give the men and women watching and the children watching this to be what God has called them to be. Don't be afraid to be unique. Dare to be different. Dare to follow your dreams. And it's just not about ministry. Maybe you're called to be a doctor, a musician, an actor, an actress, a cook, a chef. I mean, whatever God has called you to in this great ecosystem, God needs you to be what He has called you to be. You need to be true. Shakespeare said, "To your own heart be true" and I believe Jesus is saying, "To your own heart be true." SID AND LARRY: Don't be a copy. Be an original. SID: Next week on It s Supernatural. My guest totally demystifies understanding dreams. She teaches how to remember your dreams and how to understand them, and one-third of your own life will not be wasted on pizza dreams. You will know the truth through your dreams.
