Ancient Events Reveal The Key To America’s 3rd Great Awakening

Published

on

We’re joined in the studio today by Larry Sparks, author, publisher, and husband of our own Mercedes Sparks! He’s written a new book with a critical message he feels the Holy Spirit has put on his heart to share, so we’ll be diving into that vital life message.
You can get his book at: lancewallnau.com/fire

The Lord laid a powerful message on Larry, ‘tell my church I’m reintroducing her to Pentecostal fire.’ An interesting thing we’re seeing all across the United States is young people rising and going outside the church’s four walls, not in disobedience, but putting up tents and doing revival meetings; they are boots on the ground out there.

We’ve got a lot to go through, including progressive Christianity being a false prophet, the fire of God that will confront this false progressive gospel, a true church coming forth, the redefinition of sin in progressive Christianity, and more!

Episode Transcript

Lance: Hey welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show. We’re going to go right into the subject at hand, because of the importance of the hour. I have an author and also publisher with me.Today’s special guest Larry Sparks who’s also happens to be the husband of Mercedes Sparks and so we have both on the show which is kind of a rare thing. I got Carl over there right there manning the computer to fact check resource and clarify stuff. So, anyway, Barry, Larry. My good friend Larry. Good friend Barry. I’m curious about this. How does it take an author to write a book by the way?

Larry: It took me probably about three months to actually write that book but it’s taken me about 22 years. Because that’s kind of the key message that I feel like the Holy Spirit has put in my heart to share so.

Lance: A life message.

Larry: It’s a life message. I remember when Mercedes and I were first dating. I have to share this because people like to hear these things. We’re first dating. We’re walking around our area and she’s like, Larry, what’s the thing that you really feel called about and she was pulling a message out of me and I had never put language. I’m like, ‘Well, I really want to help bring people into the presence of God. That is my heart to see people have a life-changing encounter with the real living God and it was only last year I went to a church. The pastors prayed for me. Kim and Paul Owens at Fresh Start Church in Arizona. They prayed for me. I came back because I felt like I received something from that prayer. They are very Pentecostal.

Lance: They sure are. Great worship, great church.

Larry: Oh yeah, and I said, Lord, what did you do to me while I was in and the lord just made this statement said, ‘Larry tell my church I’m reintroducing her to Pentecostal Fire.’ And it brought me back to that conversation I had with Mercedes. That is my life mission, that is my life message to connect people with the fire the presence and the power that we see on the day of Pentecost.

Lance: Well, that reminds me of the prophecy which we’ve been making available I guess on our own website Lancewallnau.com is the Kenneth Hagin Prophecy 1967. I was going to put in this book, but Mercedes thought it would be better to wait until later which probably the next book.And it has to do with this 1967 when communism starts to take over the United States. Who could have seen that? I mean we’re heading to the Reagan era when communism starts to take over the United States before it does, I’m going to pour out he had a vision of fire. He thought people’s heads were on fire and it was a distressing news like nuclear. And then he looked more closely it was tongues of fire. It was a movement of God of Pentecostal fire being poured out manifest in tongues of fire and the Lord said, it’s a move that is not, but the caution in the language is before that time. Which means it may eventually still surge up and maybe part of all South America is now communist except for Brazil.

Brazil has a corrupt guy led out of prison to run against Bolsonaro, the Christian. So folks, we’re looking at some weird stuff going on here. If God doesn’t pour out his power, we’re not going to anything change politically. As much as people think I’m a political personality and a Trumpian personality, I’m not. I’m a prophet and with an apostolic burden to see 7-Mountains retaken by Christians, lest the devil crush us.

Larry: Yeah.

Lance: So, this fire, there’s tongues of fires coming out. I mean, it’s got to happen. So, what would you see any evidence that’s taking place?

Larry: I did. One of the interesting things is I’m seeing left and right across the United States.Young people in Rising up and actually going outside of the four walls of the church. Not in disobedience the church honoring the church, but putting up tents doing these revival meetings.A lot of the people that I know you’re going to have on the podcast they are boots on the ground out there and the interesting thing is Lance. They have been very impacted by you and the 7-Mountains teaching. So, they are out there seeing demons cast out people filled with the Holy Spirit lots of water baptisms. I mean by the thousands in tents on beaches. But they also are very strong when it Comes to dealing with societal issues. Because they don’t believe revival ends with a meeting.

Revival actually ends with transform society and that’s one of the interesting things. I even included it in my book. It doesn’t seem like it fits in a prophetic supernatural book but the lord actually shared with me during the whole Trump time where everybody was doing the false prophet witch hunt. I mean, you were talking about that recently on the podcast. Everybody was accusing everybody of being a false prophet. The Lord spoke to me and he said, actually is a false prophet out there that people need to be on the lookout for and it has a name. And of course, I was like, well Lord what is the name of this false prophet and he told me two words progressive Christianity.

That is the false prophet that I do believe we are confronting right now in America in the nations.And I’m like well how does that fit in the Pentecostal Fire because this is why he’s putting the book together. The Lord told me the only thing that is going to confront this false progressive gospel. I’m talking about in the church is going to be the fire of God, the power of God just like in the days of Elijah where Elijah said, “Let the God who answers by fire, he is God.

Lance: So, would that be the chapter of 17 Pentecost versus Progressive Christianity?

Larry: That is correct. I almost didn’t include that but I really felt led by the Holy Spirit saying, no, you need to do that. because you need to address one of the most prominent and increasing things you’re going to see in society and even Lance and Mercedes with the Roe V Wade overturning. I actually think more than just what has happened for millions of unborn babies which is amazing. I believe what’s going to happen is a true church is going to come forth and those who are maybe not celebratory toward it. Those who are saying you, I don’t know what about life and who are really trying to second guess that. I think we’re going to see a division between a true Bible-based church and people who are a bit waffling on the word of God.

Lance: A bit waffling is put the reality is they’re compromising.

Larry: Yeah.

Lance: And you’re very kind to give me a show me a book by Rick Renner that he’s got out now on the title of it is something like what?

Larry: No Room for Compromise.

Lance: No Room for Compromise. I think he is nailing it right now on the subject at hand.

Mercedes: I would love Larry could you define oh let me look this way. My husband’s here but I’m going to look this way. Larry, could you please define for us what progressive Christianity is? Because by and large I see it taking over a of young people. So let’s say maybe 35 and under.

Larry: Yes.

Mercedes: Progressive Christianity is like the new thing. So, can you define for us what this new I’m going to call it a false Christ. I think it’s another one of these Jesuses that are emerging in this time outside of our biblical version of who Jesus is. So, tell us what is progressive Christianity.

Larry: Well, it’s interesting because even in Matthew 24, one of the things the hallmarks that Jesus says is to define the end of age. Everybody’s looking for one-world government, currency, all that is don’t be deceived because Mercedes you’re talking about. There’s going to be almost a multitude of ways to connect with God. That I believe is one of the hallmarks of progressive Christianity, but I define progressive Christianity is when basically the Bible takes a knee to the direction of culture. When culture, when in the church, we actually want to accommodate a sinful immoral culture and what the Bible says to accommodate things.

I mean, let’s just deal with perhaps some of the most controversial things, abortion, homosexuality. One, abortion is murder, homosexuality, or even what we’re seeing with homosexual marriage or the legalization of homosexual marriage. What’s happening is this we are taking that which the Bible calls sin. The Bible calls homosexuality and murder, abortions, sin. What we’re doing is we’re trying to redefine them. We’re trying to ultimately redefined sin and that’s one of the hallmarks of progressive Christianity. We’re redefining what is clearly stated in the word of God to accommodate the progressive and sadly immoral direction culture is going in.

Lance: Yeah and here’s my challenge with all this. It’s all true. People know that, but you want to know what really wakes people up when you name names. The moment you name names, you cross a line from the generic to the specific. I was Doing a show with Turning Point Charlie Kirk, and he says, Andy Stanley and he drops his name. I go, I froze because we’re so used to politely talking about, about in general. But when the apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthians, he says, it is reported unto me from the house of Chloe that there are certain divisions among you. And he goes right to the source. It wasn’t like a certain anonymous source told me. He goes, this is the house of Chloe and because part of the kingdom is who said it, what’s the source is it accurate now what do you have to say about it versus this ambiguous. So, progressive Christianity is now going to start to take faces is what I’m saying.

Larry: Yeah.

Lance: Now, I asked Charlie later I said why did you mention Andy Stanley? I mean, why him of all people? And basically he said look at how like the 2000 mule thing. The election was stolen in Georgia. Georgia came down to like 10,000 votes and we know now that there were10,000 fake ballots. Andy Stanley chose to shut his church down, not get involved with the election, kept the church closed during the period, the imperial entire time, and his message is stay out of politics.

Larry: Yeah.

Lance: So basically, an apostolic leader with 30,000 people could have had an impact in Georgia, but opted to not be in it to win it. And is so proud of it that he’s actually on CNN pushing his book. Which is I would say the smooth tones of progressive Christianity being put in evangelical language, so that the unsuspecting evangelical preacher might even agree with it.

Mercedes: I was just thinking about this idea of Pentecostal Fire in the Book of Acts and I’ve been reading the book of Acts lately and kind of doing a deep dive there. And there’s that line where it’s like they take, I think it’s Paul and Silas and they say these men have turned the world upside down. When you talk about what biblical Christianity is, it’s like it’s so when you actually do the things that are aligned in Acts or when you talk about Pentecostal Fire, it disrupts. I mean, it disrupts marketplaces. It disrupts the religious spirit that’s in the church. I mean, and the minute people manifest is really when signs and wonders start to be poured out. They preach Christ after Pentecost. The minute Paul heals the guy in front of the temple, that’s when the religious leaders say, they take a and they say, stop preaching this. And they beat him up and they let him go and they’re like, hey, we were beat up for Jesus and they’re all excited. But it’s really like when those signs and wonders start manifesting and belief systems are just being awakened here and there and then also like with the Greeks.

I mean, it’s amazing that to see what triggers people and what triggers the devil because you can preach Christ but sometimes like the minute you actually start upholding what’s written in that Bible, it’s like people manifest and you get opposition.

Lance: Yeah, and I it’s a major assumption that you could possibly present the gospel in such a way that people will not be offended. I think if they’ve got demons, they’re either going to be delivered or they’re going to be attacking. They’re going to be anything but sedated as a result of the gospel.

Larry: Well, as you’re saying that Mercedes, one of the prophetic words that the lord put my heart from Acts 3 & 4 is we live in the Dallas Fort Worth area. And it’s amazing you can see these regions that have basically a church on every street corner, and then you see unfortunately entire regions and cities are not transformed. In Acts 3 & 4 where you have Peter and John pray for that guy who is obviously previously lame and then he got healed. One of the things that the antagonistic religious leaders say is a notable miracle has been performed. And one of the prophetic words the Lord has given me in the last year is to prophesy the release of notable miracles that actually break open cities. Because like you were saying yes we’ve got preach the gospel, but I do believe accompanying the gospel should be signs following.

I’m grateful for the measure of miracles that we’re seeing in the church because you go to services and you get the words of knowledge and you get people where one leg is shorter than the other and they get that healed. I believe there’s legitimacy. I believe there’s a wonderful purity there, but we need to see the notable miracles of the dead being raised. We need to see notable miracles of cancer being healed. Because I believe there’s something in notable miracles, signs and wonders like an Acts 3 & 4 that had the potential to actually break open territory for the gospel to be heard.

Does it come with persecution? Sure does. It comes with adversity, opposition, persecution. But there’s something there that we see in Acts 3 & 4 and I am going after the preaching of those notable miracles. Lance just made me think of a conversation. You and I had in the green room with Tim Sheets, Dutch Sheets’ brother. We were there for a conference and he said something that caused my heart to just burn. We’re Sitting there having barbecue with the guy. I mean, he was just talking very nonchalantly but he was telling you and I about when he and Dutch would actually partner with his father who is a healing evangelist, old-time healing evangelist. And his father would pray for people with tumors and cancers and Tim said, you know what? One of the things that me and Dutch, our job was, was to clean the floor off, to clean the tumors off the floor after people got healed. He was sharing that with us as you were eating barbecue I was having a rib and he said that. And my heart started to burn not because of the barbecue.

Carl: Maybe the barbecue.

Larry: But he said that, and I thought to myself.

Lance: This is what Pentecostals do at meal time folks.

Mercedes: It’s true.

Lance: And this is a big complaint we’ve got about we do these fundraisers. I go to these events and it’s like and during the dinner they’re discussing abortion. It’s like, maybe guys we could pick a different subject for the guest for the speaker during dinner. But yeah, I remember the story and you know what’s funny? I never occur to me that it wasn’t a barbecue conversation timing.Because I remember the story. I’ve got so excited about it. I said, why don’t we get you and your and your brother Dutch, and let’s go back and they have priest said they have prophecies that supposed to have their dad’s mantle.

Larry: Yes.

Mercedes: Wow.

Lance: Isn’t that right? And he said, they’re supposed to be moving in this.

Larry: And that’s 100% what Tim is going after right now because he felt like we’ve gotten to this place where we are settling short of what we see in the Book of Acts. We are not seeing those notable miracles and people have to respond, what they do is they change their theology. So, if we don’t see the miracles that the Bible promises, sadly, a lot of people have basically surrendered to cessationism. Which basically says that the notable miracles or the sign gifts, tongues, miracles, all that ceased with the canonization of scripture or the death of the last apostle or we just get disappointed. I think what we need to do when we don’t see Acts level miracles instead of getting disappointed instead of changing our theology, we need to start interceding and we need to actually start taking risks. And you were talking in a recent podcast about the working of miracles.

Lance: The working part.

Larry: The working part. I have not been able to shake that because that involves us partnering with God. That involves risk. That involves stepping.

Lance: Well, you did that once. You did that. Mercedes always tells me about how you pulled a guy out of a wheelchair.

Larry: Yes, accidentally.

Lance: The working part.

Larry: It was. It was because what happened is we were in that atmosphere of Pentecost fire. In other words, the presence of God was so strong and you’ve been in those meetings. I remember hearing you share stories of growing up and being mentored by these people who came out of the latter rain.

Lance: Right.

Larry: And that it was a meeting where the presence of God was so powerful. I wasn’t even going after healing. I don’t consider myself a healing evangelist but we’re all called to carry that healing power of God. And yeah, there’s a guy who literally had just recently been paralyzed, fell off a ladder. I mean, that whole community up there in Missouri knew This guy is paralyzed and he’s in a bad situation.

Mercedes: You got to do this. You had to get the story better.

Larry: Well, you do it better.

Mercedes: Because he had just been released from the hospital.

Larry: Yes.

Mercedes: Wheeled in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the neck down, wheeled to the front of the meeting and Larry prayed for him and he got up. I mean, they got the scan to show that the bone, there’s no reason he should have been healed. And he was out there to Larry’s point. They had a nice big storm up there he was out there doing something nice for his neighbor helping him cut down all these fallen branches. Branch fell on his neck, took him to the hospital paralyzed, gets out of the hospital wheels him into the meeting right to the front and God heals this man through Larry. So, when we talk about like the passing away the gifts because I was raised with that. It’s just such a mood point for me now. I’m like that’s so like I’ve seen enough now where I’m like no healing still happens. So, it’s weird to think about that.

Lance: But I want to drill down on this for a second. The book is Pentecostal Fire. Your supernatural inheritance. You’ve got a forward by Dutch Sheets and Kim Owens, and do you talk about supernatural suddenly Pentecostal Prayer. What is God‘s method or God‘s way of decent and in order. Talk about Holy Spirit Deception. I mean all these titles are very interesting. What is unplugged Pentecost? Revisiting the Pentecostal Pioneers. I mean we’re just starting like we’re running out of time and I’m realizing I could go down on any of these and want to get them. So,we want to make sure this book is available for all of you. It’s really like you said 20 years’ worthof you research. You got your masters of divinity in church history from Regent University.You’ve been working with all these different authors and this is really your PhD thesis put in the language that any Christian could understand.

Larry: My heart is when people read this two things happen. Number one, they would be provoked unbearably. So, provoked unbearably to be hungry for God and I always encourage people as you’re reading that. I believe there’s an anointing on it, not because I’m writing it but just it is a culmination of 20 years of research impartation prayer. I believe people are going to read it and they’re going to get to certain segments and they’re going to cry out to God. God, I want to see this manifest in my life and I tell people as you’re reading just pause. Pause in those places pause in the places where you sense or feel the fire and the desperation and put it down and cry out for that. Because I believe God wants his people actually walking in the fire and the power of Pentecost.

Mercedes: Amen.

Lance: And let me and amplify that by saying that one of the notable miracles that Paul did that opened up the city of Ephesus was he cast the demon out of someone. I believe that none of the signs and wonders with the healing is, I mean no one’s going to necessarily have a problem with that. What they will have a problem with is what happens when somebody who is a notable psychic loses the ability to do that. Paul cast demon, a spirit of divination out. Now, what’s interesting is that girl was connected to the marketplace. Which meant Paul disrupted Wall Street. He disrupted commerce. So, it’s one thing if you got demonic activity going on the psychic network. It’s another thing if you’re interrupting cash flow for the cartel.

Paul’s deliverance ministry hit both at one time and boom, it caused a riot in the city, so that riotwas because God led Paul to what the old Pentecost. I wouldn’t say old Pentecost. This is our lifetime. Pentecostal leaders who have broken up his cities.

Larry: Yeah.

Lance: Carlos Anacondia and Carlos Cabrera and the Argentine Revival in Columbia. They call it power encounters.

Larry: Yes.

Lance: Where God will lead you to the person who gets the miracle or the deliverance that interrupts Satan’s structure over a city. It’s almost like one of those game like jingle whatever you call it jingle, whatever it is. Where you pull out one thing and put the whole thing comes down.Well, God will show you who to minister to that is a key person in the city that sets into motion a disruption of an entire hierarchy. That’s Pentecostal fire.

Larry: Yeah.

Mercedes: I want to jump in and I think for both of you, I get to kind of be a fly on the wall and see what’s going on. I love the message that Larry carries. I think too Lance, this goes into like you were saying, I don’t know if it’s in this podcast or another one but I think in the same way Trump was used to use you or to use, I’m sorry, in the same way God used Trump to be a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. God‘s going to use you to this religious spirit and when you think about what’s happening today and the things you’re writing in this book, Larry, it challenges the status quo.

Larry: Yes.

Mercedes: And if we look at Acts, anytime that status quo was challenged like two things happened to the leaders at that time. They were either filled with jealousy that they had this really crowd that’s coming to them, right. So, when this breaks out, when what you’re writing about actually breaks out and you start seeing all these healings like, well, the stuff that Mario Murillo is doing. The things that you’re going to be joining him and doing is like healing, preaching the word, signs and wonders. We’re going to have Jesse and Parker Green on, Tommy and Miriam Evans. These are people like that are out there intense doing this type of book of Acts Pentecostal work. And then we see also it’s jealousy but also when they’re existing hours threatened in an area, in a marketplace. Because there’s the one where they cast the demon out of the girl.

There’s also the one right, yeah, it’s in Ephesus where this a business guy gets together craftsman,and he makes all the idols and he gets to all the other craftsmen.

Lance: Alexander the Coppersmith has bought us great harm.

Mercedes: Exactly. He’s like, listen, we make these idols I know we make these guys going to put us out of business. So, it’s like it stirs they end up stirring up this whole right too. The two businessmen in the marketplace as well as the Jews at that time.

Lance: That’s an interesting thesis that the marketplace push back.

Mercedes: But I just want to finish the thought really quick that there’s a realignment that’s happening. That’s what I want to get to. And I want people to be aware of, because in its own way it’s prophetic to say when this breaks out status quo’s going to be challenged. We’ve seen status quo in the church challenge like you were saying through COVID. We’ve seen it challenge now through Roe V Wade. How are pastors and leader responding to this? What type of sound is coming out of their pulpit? Is this sound like progressive Christianity or does it sound like biblical Christianity?

Lance: So what’s going to happen? The pastors don’t start to get this sound. This reformation sound in them. They’re going to lose the thing that they will really test them is they’re going to lose their money people. You know why? Because God‘s going to the marketplace for the revival. And your people that have money are going to start to hear people raised up who are going to talk about supernatural gifts to dominate your sphere in the assigned sphere God gave you. And if you’re in business, take that mountain and we’re going to start training people how to take the mountain business.

The gifts of the spirit are given to each separately as God wants to. For the business person, you’ll be given prophetic insight into trends that are coming. You’ll be given words of knowledge as to what kind of commodities or what kind of technology or what kind of strategy or real estate you need to have for that. You’re going to be given tongues and interpretation. You’re going to have intercessors that are going to start to block devils off and start to tie you up and I believe it’s going to see a Global Commerce Network as America goes through Divine Discipline. The difference between discipline and judgement is judgement is a sentence. Discipline is a correction. God is disciplining America and I think it’s going to discipline us to the point of correction. So, while that discipline’s happening, financial markets are going to open up for Christians in America to do business in other countries.

What I’m saying and I’m prophesying is God is a way to get you through the coming storm but you’re going to have to use Pentecostal Fire to Take your mountain. Don’t play defense. It’s not all in the church and it’s not all with evangelism. It’s in your sphere where God has signed you. Pentecostal Fire, go to Lancewallnau.com and what could they do?

Mercedes: Lancewallnau.com/fire.

Lance: Oh, Lancewallnau.com/fire. You want to get this book and we’re going to have Larry on again because I want to talk about who the pioneers are. I want to talk about the different operations of the gifts of the spirit in the marketplace and in the ordinary roads of life. I talked to a policeman, a cop who had a word of knowledge. What a great gift for a policeman. He had words of knowledge on where drugs were hidden, where stuff was hidden, where stash was hidden, and where guns were hidden. He’d get words of knowledge on locations. And these gifts are available for the workplace. I believe God‘s desire is that you have Pentecostal Fire everywhere you go.

It’s not just in the healings and the miracles and the deliverances. There are many manifestations of the spirit and the Pentecostal fire that’s coming into the spirit that you’re in. And we’re goanna,what’s your favorite story out of the here? If you had one illustration of Pentecostal Fire that you want to talk about, what comes to mind?

Larry: Oh, goodness. In that chapter on Pentecostal Pioneers, I do reference the story that Tim Sheets told us about the tumors falling off only because that’s so dramatic and that provokes me to think AA Allen, Jack Co, Catherine Coleman. Why is it, William Branham, why do we look back and consider them the benchmark or the high watermark of operating power of God?Where are those people today? I actually believe they exist in the body of Christ in that moment not to be necessarily the man or woman of God that we look to go and receive the healing from. I actually believe they were supposed to be a template for all believers to operate in that measure of power. And as you were just in a moment of prophecy before ministering about the gifts of the spirit in the marketplace, the Lord put on my heart discerning of spirits for marketplace leaders.

I actually believe I’m going to release this that those of you who are in business or marketplace. That’s not my world but that’s your world. I actually feel like the Lord wants to give you the discerning of spirit so you can decipher if you’re in a deal, you’re talking to somebody. Is it God? Is it the enemy? I believe the Holy Spirit is going to give you supernatural recognition and discernment of what spirit is motivating the people who want to enter and engage business with you.

Lance: I love that Larry and I love what you’re saying and by the way, Mario Murillo said something on Flashpoint last night. That was so interesting. He said that a witch was sitting on the front row of his miracle attend meetings. This is just this week. She’s sitting on the front row. She’s a pro LGBTQ organizer and a political opponent of what he’s doing. But somehow she just came to the meeting to go see what the right wing evangelicals are selling in Colorado. And he said although there was signs and wonders that happened in the opening of the service what happened to her was it was the utterance. The Pentecostal fire on the utterance that caused a deliverance in her mindset, that her mind was locked up with this grid of darkness and rebellion and assumptions as to who he was what he represents. And as he preached, the anointing delivered her and when he gave the altar call, she raised to that altar was one of the first people God saved.

Mercedes: Yeah.

Lance: That’s what you call a notable miracle. Because this person was like an occult practitioner who hurts the spell broke when the anointing was in utterance. That’s what we need. Pentecostal utterance.

Mercedes: I just want to bring it to the Bible on a point like that because I was reading last night and I was like you read the Bible and you turn your special. You go, oh and then you go oh that’s interesting and then Larry from a classrooms like, what are you reading? But I like this and so it’s Apollos preaches in Ephesus. Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos born in Alexandria who was an eloquent man and powerful in the scriptures came to Ephesus and then we’re going to move down a bit. It said, on arriving, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace for he vehemently refuted the Jews publicly proving from the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. And I really paused on that word powerful because we think power and healing.

Larry: Yeah.

Mercedes: Power and miracles and signs and wonders but he was powerful in the scriptures. I just was so I just was like whoa it kind of blew me away. But it goes to your point that it’s like the utterance is just as powerful as a sign and the wonder. The utterance itself when it’s anointed like that and you’re pulling scripture up, its life changing. It’s sharper than a 2-edged sword.

Lance: Hallelujah.

Larry: It’s funny you say that because I do have a whole chapter there called Pentecostal preaching. Pentecostal preaching is not just talking about the Holy Ghost tongues the gifts of the spirit. Pentecostal preaching is actually preaching the gospel that we see here in the scriptures. It’s being powerful in the scriptures like Mercedes was saying. I believe what needs to happen in the days ahead, we need to preach a gospel that is worthy of signs and wonders. We have sadly reduced it to this Ted Talk Milk Toast Life Championing Message and I’m all about encouragement. But we need to preach the gospel as preached by the early church as preached lands by the revivalist awakeners of old. Because they preach something that was worthy of signs, wonders, and miracles the same way Mario does.

Mercedes: Amen.

Lance: Well, after you quote Vincent’s sign in here, it says that after gaining acceptance and power, the church began to experience less and less of the miraculous of the primitive church and turn more and more to rituals, sacramental expressions of faith. So, as we got mainstream popular and people got comfortable with the church in every corner, we ourselves become more comfortable in the marketplace with the world and the world more comfortable with us and we lost the eccentricities of the supernatural. But now that we’re becoming unpopular again it looks like the supernatural is welcome also.

Larry: Yes.

Lance: So, we’re in for a great reset once again go to Lancewallnau.com/fire. Larry, will you pray for folks and pray for them that want to be touched by the fire of God and would you release that spirit of discerning of spirit into the business community.

Larry: Yup. Holy Spirit, I thank you right now for those who are watching, those who are listening. I actually feel like the presence of God is just going to fall on you wherever you are. A heaviness, a good heaviness, that awareness of the manifest presence, the tangible presence of God. God knows that you’ve been crying out for more and I believe right now, he is touching you. He’s filling you afresh. I believe for some of you getting new tongues, new and maybe you’ve never spoken in tongues before. I actually believe that get is going to be activated in your life not because it’s the key or most important gift,, it’s a sign gift. It is a sign of the working of the spirit. So father, I thank you for touching and resting upon everyone watching and listening and Lord for every business leader I thank you for a sharpness in discernment. Not just being able to feel out a room, but discernment where you they recognize whether it is somebody being influenced by the holy spirit or somebody being influenced by demonic spirit or ulterior spirits. So, I thank you lord in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mercedes: Amen.

Lance: Amen. This has been so powerful. Larry, I want to do a part two on this, because we got a lot of people, a lot of questions, a lot of comments coming in the news feed and the commentary. I didn’t get to Carl yet, because he traveled with one of the most amazing Smith Williams worth types of evangelist that I knew in my lifetime. So, he’s seen some unusual things. I want to talk to him about the lifestyle and uniqueness of men of God. Because he’s been behind the scenes growing up with Kim Clement, Bill Johnson, Shuttlesworth. They’ve all been through my churches. So, I’m curious about his observation. But we’re going to have to stop right here and because of time, but we’re going to come back with another segment. Because we’re going to continue to pray and I got my keyboard over here. Larry, I almost went over to the keyboard and start playing my Catherine Coleman Miracle Service music. I felt like I could do it but I didn’t want to disrupt the team and have them freak out that I’m the keyboard but we’re going to do that next time you pray.

Larry: Alright.

Lance: I’m bringing you the Catherine Coleman music in the background. And we’re going to be back again ladies and gentlemen tomorrow. Don’t miss any of these broadcasts. A special week of unique special broadcast for you. God bless you.
