AND THAT DAY IS VERY IMPORTANT. 26:54 JESUS WANTS YOU TO KEEP THE SABBATH. 26:57 REMEMBER THE SABBATH, TO KEEP IT HOLY. 27:02 SIX DAYS. THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH 27:05 OF THE LORD BY GOD. IN IT THOUSAND SHALL NOT DO ANY 27:20 WORK. WHY? 27:21 BECAUSE THERE'S SIX DAYS. >> COME ON. 27:23 COME ON. >> THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND 27:28 EARTH. >> WOW. 27:29 >> AND REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY. WHERE FOR THE LORD BLESSED THE 27:36 SEVENTH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. SANCTIFY THAT DAY. 27:40 AND THAT DAY IS MEANT FOR ALL OF US. 27:42 IT'S THE SEVENTH DAY, IT'S THE SABBATH OF GOD. 27:46 AND WE KEEP THE DAY THAT GOD TELL US TO KEEP. 27:48 >> WOW. >> A GROUP OF PEOPLE GOT 27:50 TOGETHER AND CHANGED -- AND IT'S -- THEY SAID THAT THIS 27:55 SHOWS THAT WE HAVE POWER. SO WE CHANGED THAT DAY AROUND. 27:58 >> UH-HUH. UH-HUH. 28:02 THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. 28:04 THIS GROUP ACTUALLY CHANGED OR ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE -- THAT'S 28:07 THE GOOD PART. NOBODY CAN CHANGE -- 28:11 >> BUT THEY CAN TRY. >> SO TODAY THERE ARE MANY, MANY 28:14 GROUPS WHO FOLLOW WHAT THIS PARTICULAR GROUP -- 28:17 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND THEY SAY THAT, WELL, 28:20 SUNDAY IS THE DAY OF WORSHIP, BUT THAT'S NOT THE DAY THAT GOD 28:24 SET UP. >> IT'S NOT THE DAY THAT GOD SET 28:26 UP. IT'S POPULAR, AND EVERYBODY IS 28:29 DOING IT. BUT THE SABBATH IS THE SEVENTH -DAY. 28:32 >> YEAH. AND GOD SAID REMEMBER THAT. 28:35 AND WHEN HE SAID, REMEMBER IT, BECAUSE HE SAID YOU ARE GOING TO 28:39 FORGET IT. HE WANTS YOU TO REMEMBER, AND DO 28:42 IT, AND KEEP IT A PART OF YOU. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 28:49 >> OKAY. >> THERE'S SPIRITUAL VIGILANTES, 28:54 PEOPLE WHO TRY TO TAKE GOD'S LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS AND CHANGE 28:58 IT. AND GOD'S LAW CANNOT BE CHANGED. 29:00 >> IT CAN'T BE CHANGED. THE REASON IT CAN'T BE CHANGED, 29:05 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS THE TRANSCRIPT OF HIS CHARACTER. 29:08 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WOW. 29:10 >> THAT'S THE REASON YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. 29:12 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT'S HOLY, JUST, AND IT'S 29:15 GOOD. >> UH-HUH. 29:16 >> ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? >> UH-HUH. 29:18 >> YEAH. >> A TRANSCRIPT OF HIS -- THANK 29:21 YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO ME, JESUS. 29:23 >> YES. >> YES. 29:24 >> ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL. >> YES. 29:29 SO AGAIN, BROTHER RICHARD, HOW DID YOU COME TO KNOW JESUS FOR 29:34 YOURSELF? WHO KIND OF LEAD YOU INTO THIS 29:36 WHOLE SPIRITUAL PATH? >> DID YOU JUST READ ABOUT IT 29:40 YOURSELF? SOMEBODY TEACH YOU? 29:42 >> NO, WHEN I WAS A BOY MY MOMMA HAD A STACK OF BOOKS 29:49 LAYING DOWN "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY" -- 29:53 >> OKAY. >> AND SHE HAD GOT SOME BOOKS ON 29:56 CREDIT WHERE YOU PAY SO MUCH A MONTH. 29:58 >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND I LIKED THE BOOK WITH 30:01 PICTURES OF ANGELS. THAT'S WHY I LIKED IT. 30:05 AND MY BROTHER'S -- MOTHER'S BROTHER WAS A SEVENTH-DAY 30:10 ADVENTIST MINISTER. AND HE MET A GIRL IN THE ARMY, 30:14 AND SHE BROUGHT HIM IN. AND THEN BY DOING THAT, AND BY 30:20 READING AND STUDYING AND ALL YOU WANTED TO BE THAT -- YOU WANTED 30:23 TO BE LIKE THAT, BECAUSE YOU SAW HOW -- YOU KNOW, WHEN 30:27 YOU -- WHEN YOU READ ABOUT WHAT JESUS GAVE UP FOR US, AND WHAT 30:31 HE IS GOING TO GIVE US, ETERNAL LIFE, THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK 30:39 ABOUT. NO MORE DYING, NO MORE SICKNESS, 30:44 NO MORE POOR PEOPE. YOU HAVE GOT TREES WITH 30:46 EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT ON IT. YOU LIVING IN A MANSION LIKE YOU 30:52 HAVE NEVER SEEN IN THE WORLD. >> UH-HUH. 30:54 >> AND YOU ARE ABLE TO GO TO OTHER PLANETS AND SEE YOUR 30:58 BROTHERS AND YOUR SISTERS. >> YEAH. 31:00 >> OH, GOD, I REALLY WANT THAT. >> SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS, 31:06 WITH ALL OF THE WEALTH THAT YOU HAVE HAD, WITH ALL OF THE HOMES 31:09 AND THE FAME, AND THE MONEY, AND THE PRESTIGE, ALL OF THAT, NONE 31:15 OF THAT COMPARES TO WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. 31:19 >> WHEN I READ ABOUT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE 31:23 LOTTERY -- I SAY FORGET ABOUT THE LOTTERY, JESUS IS GOING TO 31:27 GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE. THE LOTTERY AIN'T EVEN GOING TO 31:31 BE HERE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 31:33 >> NO MORE DEATH, NO MORE DYING, NO MORE SICKNESS. 31:37 >> YEAH. >> WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? 31:39 >> YEAH. >> OH, THANK YOU, JESUS. 31:41 THANK YOU, LORD. >> YES. 31:42 >> WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? >> IF YOU HAD IT ALL TO DO OVER 31:46 AGAIN, YOUR LIFE, IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU 31:50 WOULD CHANGE? >> IF I HAD IT ALL TO DO OVER 31:57 AGAIN, I WOULD BE LITTLE RICHARD THE PREACHER. 32:00 >> WOW. >> IT IT THE MESSENGER FROM 32:05 JESUS. I WOULD TEACH PEOPLE -- I WOULD 32:09 WANT TO PREACH ON STREET CORNERS DOWNTOWN. 32:12 I WOULD WANT TO STAND ON THE CORNERS. 32:15 THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN JESUS COMES. 32:19 AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. I LOVE THAT. 32:22 >> YEAH, WELL, WE FOUND OUT TODAY, YOU ARE LITTLE RICHARD 32:26 THE PREACHER. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 32:28 >> YOU ARE ALREADY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 32:30 >> BUT I LOVE JESUS. >> YES. 32:31 >> AND I'M SURE THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT 32:38 OF, THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YET, BECAUSE I MUST TELL IT, 32:41 AND -- AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [ LAUGHTER ] 32:45 >> I SURE HOPE THEY ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS WE ARE. 32:49 I KNOW IT. I'M LOVING THIS. 32:52 >> I'M LEARNING SO MUCH. >> IT'S INTERESTING THAT HE CAME 32:56 FROM SUCH A LARGE FAMILY -- >> ABSOLUTELY. 33:00 >> AND POVERTY STRICKEN. IT'S AMAZING HOW HE WAS ABLE TO 33:06 NAVIGATE THROUGH THAT WHOLE -- THROUGH ALL OF THAT 33:08 DIS -- DISADVANTAGE, AND BECOME LITTLE RICHARD. 33:12 >> BUT YOU KNOW, HE SAID SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT. 33:16 THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT, IT SAYS WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE 33:20 PEOPLE PARISH. BUT HE HAD A VISION EVEN AS A 33:24 LITTLE BOY. HE SAID I WAS A BUSY LITTLE GUY, 33:27 AND I WAS IN EVERYBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS. 33:33 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND THEN WHEN ENTERTAINERS 33:36 CAME TO TOWN, HE FOLLOWED THE BUS. 33:40 HE HAD A VISION THAT HE WANTED TO GO SOMEWHERE. 33:43 THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT 40 YEARS, JOHN. 33:46 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT, MANY OF 33:49 THOSE TO THE PROMISE LAND. RICHARD IS MAKING IT THROUGH 33:53 WITH GOD'S HELP. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 33:55 AND HOW THE JOURNEY ENDS IS MORE PERMANENT THAN HOW THE JOURNEY 34:00 BEGINS. YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE, WE DON'T 34:03 KNOW WHO THE THIEF ON THE CROSS WAS. 34:07 WE JUST KNOW WHO HE IS GOING TO BE. 34:09 WHO HE BECAME AT THAT PIVOTAL HOME. 34:14 AND EVERYONE HAS A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THEIR LIES. 34:17 AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BROTHER RICHARD. 34:20 I LIKE TO CALL HIM BROTHER RICHARD. 34:23 HE RESPONDED AND WHAT HE SAID WHEN HE FINALLY ACQUIESCED TO 34:29 THE INTERVIEW, ANYTHING FOR THE LORD. 34:31 I LOVE THE LORD. I LOVE JESUS, AND HE SAID I JUST 34:35 WANT TO BE READY WHEN HE COMES, AND I WANT EVERYBODY ELSE TO BE 34:39 READY. SO PRAISE THE LORD. 34:41 >> LET'S TALK FOR JUST A MOMENT ABOUT BROTHER PAYTON. 34:44 >> YES. >> WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN. 34:48 YOU FIRST MET HIM AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM. 34:51 TELL US MORE ABOUT PAYTON. >> PAYTON IS A CARING MAN, HIS 34:56 BROTHER, RICHARD, RAISED HIM. THEY TRAVELED TOGETHER. 34:59 HE WAS A PART OF THE INNER ENTOURAGE. 35:04 HE WOULD CARE FOR HIS BROTHER, MAKE SURE HE HAD EVERYTHING THAT 35:06 HE NEEDED. BUT HE IS VERY COMFORTABLE BEING 35:09 IN THE BACKGROUND. HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN FRONT 35:12 OF THE CAMERA. A VERY HUMBLE INDIVIDUAL 35:15 HIMSELF. AND A LOT OF WHO HE IS TODAY WAS 35:18 SHAPED BY THE LIFE THAT LITTLE RICHARD AND THE PLACES THEY WENT 35:20 TOGETHER AND THE PEOPLE THEY MET TOGETHER. 35:22 AND SO -- BUT A VERY PRIVATE MAN, BUT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HIM, 35:26 HE IS A VERY CHRISTIAN INDIVIDUAL. 35:30 VERY CONNECTED TO THE LORD. WE PRAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES 35:33 TOGETHER. AND -- AND THE STRENGTH OF 35:36 THEIR -- BOTH RELATIONSHIPS WHERE THEY ARE WHERE THEY ARE 35:41 NOW IS THEY HAVE SEEN THE OTHER SIDE. 35:43 THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE WEALTHIEST OF HOTELS, THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE 35:49 PRESENCE OF DIGNITARIES AND PRESIDENTS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN 35:51 ON THE STAGE, BUT ALL OF THOSE PLACES THEY HAVE BEEN, THERE ARE 35:55 SEEDS, EVEN DURING THE CONCERTS -- I THINK -- THE 35:59 CONCERTS I THINK WAS A PART OF HIS AGREEMENT, I'M DOING THIS 36:03 CONCERT, BUT I'M GOING TO PASS OUT STUFF TO CHRIST. 36:06 AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN, YOU 36:10 CANNOT TAKE AWAY THE POWER O THE GREAT CONTROVERSY. 36:14 THOSE ARE SEEDS THAT ARE PLANTED. 36:17 IF THE LORD COULD TALK TO [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH A DONKEY, HE -CAN USE A TREE OR ROCK. 36:25 SO BUT NOW HE'S STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POER OF HIS MIGHT. 36:28 AND PAYTON IS THAT KIND OF MAN. DOESN'T WANT THE SPOTLIGHT, HE 36:35 JUST WANTS TO BE THERE FOR HIS BROTHER AND BE THERE FOR THE 36:39 LORD, AND IT SHOWS ALL THE THE TIME. 36:42 >> ABSOLUTELY. WITH THAT, I THINK WE HAVE ONE 36:44 MORE SECTION OF THIS. AND I THINK WE ARE ENDING THIS 36:47 TIME. WE HAD OUR COUPLE OF BREAKS. 36:51 HE BROUGHT US TO BREAK. >> HE DID. 36:55 >> LET'S FINISH THIS INTERVIEW. >> YOU -- YOU ARE SYNONYMOUS 36:59 WITH DRESS AND WITH CLOTHING. I MEAN WHEN PEOPLE WATCH LITTLE 37:03 RICHARD THEY LOVE NOT ONLY WHAT LITTLE RICHARD IS SAYING, HOW HE 37:07 IS SINGING, HOW HE PLAYED, GETTING ON TOP OF THE PIANO, YOU 37:11 MAY DO -- NO MATTER WHAT, BUT THEY LOVED TO SEE WHAT YOU WERE 37:16 WEARING. BECAUSE YOU KEPT PEOPLE 37:18 GUESSING. COULD I FLIP YOU A COIN FOR 37:20 THOSE SHOES? >> WHAT? 37:22 >> COULD I FLIP YOU A COIN FOR THOSE SHOES TO SEE WHO GETS 37:26 THOSE SHOES. [ LAUGHTER ] 37:28 >> IF YOU PUT ON THESE SHOES -- >> I WONDER, WOULD THAT MAKE ME 37:32 KEEP TIME AND DANCE BETTER? >> IF YOU PUT ON THESE 37:35 SHOES -- I WOULD SEE A LOT OF MEN BEATING YOU DOWN THE STREET. 37:39 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT I GOT THE COWBOY BOOTS 37:42 ON. >> YOU GOT ON WHAT YOU REALLY 37:45 NEED. YOU GOT THE REAL THING, KEEP 37:48 THEM. >> ALL RIGHT. 37:49 I'LL KEEP THEM ON. >> THESE THINGS WON'T LOOK RIGHT 37:53 ON NOW. >> WAS THAT PART -- 37:55 >> I HAD TWO TAYLORS THAT TRAVELED WITH ME. 38:01 >> WAS THAT PART OF YOUR PERSONA. 38:04 >> IT WAS PART OF ME. JOSEPHINE BAKER OUT OF ST. 38:07 LOUIS, MISSOURI. >> OH, YEAH. 38:09 >> YEAH. >> AND I JUST WANTED TO BE 38:12 FLASHY AND FANCY -- >> YEAH. 38:14 >> -- AND -- AND -- >> BECAUSE YOU COULD. 38:16 >> -- AND DRESS IN PRETTY STUFF. >> YEAH. 38:20 TELL US BOUT SOME OF THE FOLK THAT YOU KNEW. 38:23 YOU SAID YOU LIKED COUNTRY MUSIC. 38:25 >> YEAH >> BECAUSE FOR SOME OF US, WE 38:28 THINK OF, MAN, IT LITTLE RICHARD -- WE DON'T THIN ABOUT 38:32 HIM AND COUNTRY MUSIC, BUT A LOT OF THE OLDER BLACK FOLK DID 38:37 COUNTRY MUSIC. >> THAT'S ALL I HEAR, BLACK 38:41 PEOPLE WALKING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS, PLAYING GUITAR, 38:44 AND THE GUITAR WOULD BE TALKING, DO, DO, DO, DO, DO. 38:50 >> OKAY. TODAY, THOUGH, YOU HAVE A NUMBER 38:53 OF FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC LIKE DOLLY PARTON. 38:59 >> DOLLY IS A GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE. 39:03 LORETTA LYNN. >> TOM JONES? 39:06 >> TOM JONES -- HE JUST CALLED ME -- I JUST TALKED TO HIM ABOUT 39:09 THREE WEEKS AGO. HE IS -- HE WANTS ME TO RECORD 39:16 "FOOT PRINTS OF JESUS" WITH HIM. >> THAT'S WONDERFUL. 39:19 ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT? >> YES. 39:21 >> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL HAVE TO GET HIM TO 3ABN TO 39:26 DO THAT. >> I HAVE TO CHEW SOME GINGER TO 39:29 CLEAR MY VOICE. >> CLEAR YOUR VOICE. 39:32 LET'S GET THAT ON 3ABN. WE'LL GET PEOPLE AROUND THE 39:35 WORLD WATCHING THAT. >> YES. 39:38 >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> WHEN YOU FIRST CAME INTO THE 39:41 CHURCH, WHAT KIND OF ADJUSTMENTS DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE COMING INTO 39:45 THE CHURCH? WHEN YOU KIND OF STILL STAYED 39:47 OUT THERE, SINGING, BUT YOU WERE IN THE CHURCH. 39:50 HOW DID YOU -- HOW DID YOU ADJUST TO COMING INTO THE 39:53 CHURCH? >> IT WAS HARD. 39:54 FIRST OF ALL, I WASN'T USED TO DRESSING A CERTAIN WAY. 39:59 I WASN'T USED TO WEARING PLAIN CLOTHES. 40:06 EVERYTHING WAS FLASHY. >> YES. 40:10 >> IT WAS JUST THE WAY I DRESSED. 40:12 AND I USED TO WEAR MAKEUP ON THINK FACE EVERY DAY. 40:20 EVERY DAY. AND -- I HAD TO STOP ALL OF THAT 40:23 IF I WANTED TO BE SAVED. >> YEAH. 40:25 >> AND I THINK MY LIFE WAS WORTH MORE THAN POWDER. 40:29 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO -- AND I CAN'T SEE HOW 40:37 MEN -- PEOPLE ARE SCREAMING -- HOW MEN -- THEY 40:40 SAY -- EVERYBODY WEARING EARRINGS, AND NOBODY SAYING 40:45 NOTHING. >> HUH-UH. 40:47 >> EVERYBODY GOT AN EARRING ON THEIR EAR. 40:50 >> HAVE MERCY. >> BACK IN THE DAY IF I WORE AN 41:00 EARRING, IT WOULD BE THE TALK OF THE WORLD. 41:04 >> YOU SEE MEN WEARING MASCARA AND WOMEN'S CLOTHES. 41:08 WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE SOMEBODY IN A DRESS ABOUT 6'3", 41:14 IN A DRESS, AND A WIG, AND WOMEN'S MAKEUP ON AND THEY HAVE 41:20 GOT A VOICE LORD THAN WINLY PHIPPS? 41:26 HOW DO YOU ADJUST TO THAT? BECAUSE IN YOUR ERA, NOBODY 41:29 COULD COME OUT AND SAY, THIS IS ME AND I'M PROUD OF IT. 41:34 IS THAT SHOCKING TO YOU? >> I NEVER SEEN NOBODY 6'4" AND 41:42 ALL OF THAT, WITH NO WIGS AND NO DRESSES. 41:45 IT JUST -- IT'S A HARD THING FOR A REAL MAN TO WANT TO WEAR. 41:50 A REAL MAN WON'T WEAR NO DRESS. >> YEAH. 41:52 >> UH-HUH. >> HE WON'T FEEL RIGHT WITH THAT 41:56 TYPE OF THING ON. NOT A REAL MAN. 41:59 >> BUT TODAY THERE'S PEOPLE ALL OVER THEM -- 42:02 >> THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. AND AIN'T NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT 42:07 THEM. IT'S JUST A PART OF LIFE NOW. 42:09 IT'S ACCEPTABLE. >> YOU THINK THAT'S ACCEPTABLE 42:13 TO GOD? >> NO, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S 42:17 ACCEPTABLE TO GOD. THE LORD TELLS US IN THE BIBLE 42:25 THAT -- A MAN SHOULDN'T WEAR HERS, AND A WOMAN SHOULDN'T WEAR 42:30 HERS. IT'S IN THE BIBLE. 42:32 >> I HAD SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY, THEY CALL THEMSELVES 42:38 MILLENNIALS. HE SAID THERE IS NOT JUST TWO 42:41 GENDERS. THEY HAVE DISCOVERED THERE IS 42:46 109. YOU ARE NO LONGER NECESSARILY A 42:48 MAN OR A WOMAN, YOU JUST DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TODAY AND 42:52 YOU CAN BE THAT. >> I AIN'T NEVER HEARD THAT. 42:55 >> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LIE OF THE DEVIL, DOESN'T IT? 43:02 >> OH, MY GOD. >> YEAH, THEY SAY NOBODY CAN 43:09 JUDGE ME -- >> I DON'T THINK A WOMAN SHOULD 43:11 GO IN A MAN'S BATHROOM OR A MAN SHOULD GO IN A WOMAN'S BATHROOM. 43:16 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> IT'S JUST RIGHT TO DO IT. 43:19 >> UH-HUH. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 43:21 IT'S INTERESTING TIMES IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING. 43:23 YOU ARE RIGHT WHEN YOU SEE JESUS IS COMING SOON. 43:27 BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING THINGS D I KNOW YOU ARE SEEING THINGS YOU 43:31 NEVER THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. >> NEVER. 43:34 NEVER. >> AND THE GOOD PART IS GOD IS 43:36 ALSO GIVING TECHNOLOGY TO PEOPLE LIKE 3ABN THAT WE CAN SIT HERE 43:40 IN THIS CHURCH AND PEOPLE ARRANGE THE WORLD CAN WATCH AND 43:44 HEAR YOUR TESTIMONY. >> YES. 43:46 >> THEY SEE LITTLE RICHARD AS TOTALLY COMMITTED, SOLD OUT TO 43:51 GOD AND NOT ASHAMED OF IT. >> YES. 43:53 >> DON'T CARE WHO YOU TALK TO. YOU DON'T CARE 43:57 IF -- IT'S -- ANYBODY IN THE WORLD, YOU CAN GOING TO TELL 44:00 THEM THERE IS ONE WAY TO HEAVEN, AND THAT'S THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. 44:04 >> YES, AND I DON'T CALL NOBODY NO NAE BECAUSE THEY GO IN A 44:09 WOMAN'S BATHROOM -- I DON'T PUT A TITLE ON ANYBODY. 44:12 BUT WHEN I WAS A BOY, WE HAD TO RESPECT NOT TO GO INTO THE 44:16 WOMAN'S RESTROOM. >> YEAH. 44:18 >> >> AND WE HAD TO RESPECT NOT TO 44:20 GO INTO THE MEN'S BATHROOM.

I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, OR 44:36 WHERE YOU ARE FROM, OR WHAT COLOR, I LOVE YOU, AND GOD LOVES 44:41 YOU TOO. AND DON'T YOU FORGET THAT. 44:44 >> THAT IS TRUE. AND THAT IS WONDERFUL. 44:47 AND THAT'S THE COMMISSION OF ALL OF US, GO YE INTO THE WORLD -- 44:53 >> AND TEACH THE GOSPEL. >> YES. 44:57 >> IT IS INTERESTING TO ME, BROTHER RICHARD, THAT FOR A 45:00 WHILE, YOU HAD A FOOT IN BOTH WORLDS -- 45:03 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> -- SO YOU HAD ONE FOOT IN THE 45:06 WORLD, STILL SINGING THAT MUSIC -- 45:08 >> YES. >> -- THAT WASN'T LEADING PEOPLE 45:10 TO GOD, BUT THEN ON THE OTHER -HAND YOU WERE PASSING OUT THE BOOKS, AND DOING ALL OF THAT. 45:15 >> THAT'S RIGHT. YES. 45:17 >> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU REALIZE THAT I DIDN'T BE IN BOTH WORLDS? 45:21 WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU THAT YOU REALIZED -- 45:25 >> THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT YOU HAVE GOT TO DO ONE OR THE OTHER. 45:28 >> UH-HUH. >> SAYS NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO 45:35 MASTERS. >> UH-HUH. 45:36 >> YOU CAN'T DO BOTH. >> UH-HUH. 45:38 >> IF YOU ARE GOING TO SERVE ME, SERVE ME. 45:41 IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, DO THAT. 45:44 BUT IT OUGHT TO BE MY CHILD. YOU HAVE GOT TO GIVE IT ALL TO 45:50 ME. I DON'T WANT HALF OF YOU. 45:53 I WANT ALL OF YOU. I WANT TO KEEP YOU AND DIRECT 46:00 YOU AND SANCTIFY YOUR LIFE.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE WATCHING 46:35 THIS CHRISTIAN NETWORK, BUT INSIDE THEY DON'T HAVE PEACE. 46:38 >> UH-HUH. >> WHAT WOULD LITTLE RICHARD AT 46:41 THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE, IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO A LOST AND DYING 46:46 WORLD, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THEM? 46:49 >> I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVE TRIED 46:56 EVERYTHING. BUT YOU AIN'T TRIED NOTHING 46:58 UNTIL YOU TRIED JESUS. >> UH-HUH. 47:02 >> HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY BECAUSE HE IS THE WAY. 47:10 >> UH-HUH. >> THERE IS ONE WAY, AND THAT 47:14 WAY IS JESUS. HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE. 47:18 HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE SURRENTY IN THIS WORLD HERE, AND HE IS 47:26 GOING TO GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN THE WORLD TO COME. 47:29 >> HUM. >> MAKE UP YOUR MIND. 47:31 YOU DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS SAY ABOUT YOU, OR WHAT THEY 47:35 THINK ABOUT YOU.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I 51:49 HAVE ABOUT GOT CHILL BUMPS ON ME. 51:52 >> HE IS ON FIRE FOR GOD. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. 51:55 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS THINKING, DANNY IS THAT -- AND I 51:58 THINK PASTOR JOHN KIND OF BROUGHT IT OUT A LITTLE WHILE 52:01 AGO IS THAT HE HAS REACHED -- RICHARD HAS REACHED A 52:05 MOUNTAIN TOP AND YET -- AND HE HAD EVERYTHING THAT MONEY COULD 52:11 BUY, AND YET HE IS CHOOSING GOD, BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THAT IS 52:14 THE RIGHT THING. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT 52:17 WANT TO BE FAMOUS, AND THEY ARE THINKING THIS IS GOING TO WORK 52:22 FOR ME. BUT RICHARD HAS BEEN THERE, AND 52:25 YOU CAN SEE FROM HIM, IT DOESN'T WORK. 52:28 IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS. AND THAT'S WHAT HE IS ALL ABOUT. 52:33 FAME AND FORTUNE THAT STUFF IS FLEETING, AND RICHARD HAS BEEN 52:37 THERE, AND HIS LIFE IS A TESTIMONY TO THAT FACT. 52:39 IN THAT HE HAS BEEN THERE AND HE CHOOSES JESUS, AND THAT'S WHAT 52:43 YOU SHOULD DO. CHOOSE JESUS. 52:46 >> AMEN. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD LIKE 52:49 TO DO? >> WHAT? 52:50 >> I WANT TO DO ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH HIM. 52:52 >> I WANT TO GO TOO. [ LAUGHTER ] 52:54 >> YEAH, BE READY. WE WANT TO HEAR MORE. 52:57 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OF 53:00 MINUTES LEFT, YOU GUYS, GIVE US SOME CLOSING COMMENTS. 53:03 >> GO AHEAD. >> OH, TO THE YOUNGER GUY, HUH? 53:09 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT WHAT DOES IT PROPHET A 53:11 MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS SOUL. 53:15 THERE IS A DAY THAT IS COMING, A DAY THAT CANNOT BE CANCELED, 53:22 DETERRED OR DELAYS, IT'S A DAY THAT IS DOING, AND RICHARD KNOWS 53:27 THAT. >> YES. 53:28 >> SO THE HUMILITY THAT HE HAD TO GO THROUGH -- AND I 53:32 REMEMBER -- I REMEMBER THE POINT THAT CAME OUT, I THINK IN THE 53:35 CONVERSATION, WHRE HE ALLUDED TO THE IDEA THAT BECAUSE HE HAS 53:39 DEALT WITH SOME PHYSICAL CHALLENGES, HE SAID THAT MAY 53:42 HAVE BEEN THE LORD'S WAY OF SLOWING HIM DOWN. 53:44 >> OKAY. >> SO HE COULD GET HIM READY FOR 53:49 ETERNITY. >> OKAY. 53:49 >> SO THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT MAY BE WONDERING WHY DO I GO 53:53 THROUGH WHAT I GO THROUGH, AND WHY DO I HAVE TO HIT THIS WALL. 53:58 AND PASTOR HENRY WROTE, SOMETIMES GOD ALLOWS THE LESSER 54:04 EVIL TO PRESENT THE GREATER -EVIL. THERE IS ONE THING MONEY CANNOT 54:10 BUY, AND THAT'S THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, AND THAT IS WHY NOW 54:15 EVERY DAY WHEN HE IS AWAKE, HE TRAVELS WHEREVER HE IS, AND YOU 54:19 CAN BE SURE, SOMEODY IS GOING TO GET A "STEPS TO CHRIST," 54:27 "PEACE ABOVE THE STORM," OR ONE OF THOSE BOOKS, AND YOU HAD A 54:34 STORY ALONG THAT LINE -- >> YEAH, IN THE INTERVIEW IT WAS 54:37 THERE, BUT A LADY, YEARS YEARS LATER ON FACEBOOK, WHEN I TOLL 54:44 ABOUT THIS ON FACEBOOK, SHE WAS AIMLESSLY WALKING IN HOLLYWOOD, 54:50 AND LITTLE RICHARD GAVE HER "STEPS TO CHRIST," AND SHE IS A 54:56 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN TODAY. 54:57 >> VERY QUICKLY. I'M SO GLAD THAT GOD LOOKS AT 55:01 OUR LIFE ON THE VIDEO, AND NOT THE SNAPSHOT. 55:03 IF YOU LOOKED AT LITTLE RICHARD 40 YEARS AGO, AND TAKEN A 55:10 SNAPSHOT OF HIS LIFE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST, BUT GOD LOOKS AT 55:14 THE VIDEO FROM THE START TO THE FINISH. 55:17 AND NOW GOD SEES A MAN THAT IS ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. 55:21 AND THAT'S WHAT HE IS GOING TO TAKE INTO JUDGMENT. 55:24 >> AMEN. >> HIGH SCHOOL KIDS, COLLEGE 55:27 KIDS, THEY WANT TO BE FAMOUS. THEY WANT TO MAKE A LOT OF 55:30 MONEY. WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM RIGHT NOW? 55:33 >> THAT YOU HAVE TO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHERE YOUR PRIORITIES ARE. 55:37 IF YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IT, THEN YOU CAN'T REALLY -- YOU 55:42 CAN'T REALLY MAKE A GOOD JUDGMENT ABOUT IT. 55:44 TRY JESUS FIRST. ONCE YOU TRY JESUS, YOU ARE NOT 55:48 GOING TO WANT ALL OF THE REST OF THAT, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO 55:51 REALIZE THAT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. 55:53 IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. 55:56 IT'S NOT GOING TO BUY YOU THAT PEACE THAT PASSES ALL 56:00 UNDERSTANDING, BUT JESUS -- JESUS IS THE WAY. 56:02 HE IS THE WAY. >> AND YOU KNOW IT, NOT ON THE 56:06 SCALE OF LITTLE RICHARD, BUT YOUR BREAST FRIEND, LUTHER 56:12 VANDROSS. YOU SAW -- YOU SPENT A LOT OF 56:14 TIME WITH HIM, AND YOU SAW WHAT THE WORLD HAD TO OFFER, BUT YOU 56:17 CHOSE ALL OF THE PLACES I HAVE BEEN, AND EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE 56:22 DONE, I -- I TRADE THAT FOR MY RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, AND 56:26 WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT DARE TO DREAM. 56:29 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> YOU CAN'T COMPARE. 56:31 THERE'S NO COMPARISON. >> SO SHE SPEAKS FROM 56:34 EXPERIENCE. SHE HAVE BEEN THERE. 56:36 YOU HAVE SEVEN GOLD AND PLATINUM RECORDS, BUT JESUS IS THE 56:42 ANSWER. JESUS IS THE ONLY ANSWER. 56:43 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> EVERYTHING ELSE IS SMOKE AND 56:46 MIRRORS. >> I LOVE IT. 56:47 [ LAUGHTER ] >> OKAY. 56:48 THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE. AND THANK YOU AT HOME FOR 56:53 JOINING US AS YOU DO EACH AND EVERY DAY. 56:55 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF 56:58 3ABN AS WE ENDEAVOR TO TAKE THIS GREAT GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM INTO 57:03 ALL OF THE WORLD.
