Richard Heard was a popular UPC "End Tme / Revelation / Prophecy preacher back in the mid to late 1970's and possible into the very early 1980's.
He was famous for scaring folks. Bus loads of folks would come in to be scared to Jesus. A lot of people would come to the Lord or reconsecrate out of abject fear of the future then of course were backslid or gone as soon as the fear left.
I personally know of a church where after six months of this most of the young people were so depressed many backslid and one pregnant young wife was literally in depression over bringing a child into the world.
Imagine my surprise when in the late 80's or early 90's I heard Richard Heard was going to be preaching at my church the next Sunday. I was in dread all week expecting the gloom and doom show. I was shocked when he preached a good sermon that had nothing to do at all with what he was famous for. It was very uplifting and positive.
I guess whoever sprinkled the charismatci dust on him did a good job! I have not heard him preach since so I don't know what he is like and of course can't judge by one sermon but I sure liked the new Richard Heard a lot better than the old one.
