Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Here's the podcast from Susie Larson Live. Enjoy the conversation.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Larson.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk,

the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

Well, I just finished an event this weekend, and I've got to tell you, I'm tired, but my

spirit is strong. I'm in awe over how God moved in our midst. You know, usually I'm speaking

at women's conferences. This past weekend, I spoke four times at a large family camp. I think

there were probably 1,200 people in every session. Young teens to senior citizens. It was amazing to see how God, I knew this theologically, but to see it practically, he's no respecter of persons. I said to the crowd, you don't, if you're a senior citizen, you don't have a senior Jesus. If you're a teen, you don't have a teenage Jesus. You've got the spirit of the living God in you. And the expectancy in that room was so amazing. There was an 85-year-old woman that came up to me. She said, I have been bullied by this enemy my whole life. I've never heard what you just said. And she said, I'm armoring up. I'm standing up in faith. I'm not putting up with it anymore. That devil's going to be sorry he ever messed with me. She says, teen girl came up to me, tears in her eyes, saying, the chains broke off of me. I've been bound by inferiority and security, and I just got a glimpse of who I am to God. An old dear senior saint man came up crying, tears streaming down his face. He is a distinguished businessman, I could tell. And he said,

Habi came up and he shared a portion of a story and just an encounter with God that he'd had recently.

And he said to hear that. And he said to think that God could put his hand on my broken heart and heal it.

He said, I just have hope again.

You know, it's just so powerful when we get together and we seek God together and watch God do what only he can do. There's nothing like God's presence. It's important to position yourself

on the path of his promises. It's important to prioritize his presence, to live with

holy expectancy. Too often, as Christians, we sort of bide our time. We live distracted lives,

and we wonder where the power is. But we want to be looking up. We want to be engaged. You want to

keep our hearts in it. Today, we've got an important conversation around all of that,

talking to our friend,

bestselling author, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez.

He returns the program today to talk about his new 40-day devotional, 40 days of fresh oil,

holy fire, new wine.
