How To Unlock Powerful Prayers | Supernatural Living

Intro:                I never know where the broadcast is going to go when it’s with my wife, Annabelle. And we also have Mercedes commenting on the side. So between the two of them, it’s unpredictable.

And today, you’re going to hear a really interesting take on deliverance from evil, the breaking of curses, and we’re going to get a little controversial here, I can promise you. Because we’re going to talk about how to pray for government in this season. You don’t want to miss this episode.

Lance:              Say this is kind of like the deliverance 101, so we used to do a lot more deliverance.

Annabelle:        I know, as we were saying, we were in the zone.

Lance:              It’s kind of a mystery. Yes, I actually work with a deliverance ministry, and most of my appointments were set basically doing ministry, like that. And in the deliverance ministry, what we would start with is if you have any unresolved bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness, it’s the number one cause of a curse, causeless seemingly, is how unresolved emotional issues can form an agreement in a sense in the spirit, with the wrong thing.

So you have to really do an inventory and ask the lord, is there anything, anyone that I need to really release from the past? Because for some reason, that bitterness or the resentment or that unforgiveness opens a door to other stuff that can come in, and we can’t go into it now.

But you once, we got this revelation with you with a physical problem you had, and it came about strangely enough, because of your generosity and your goodness and your kindness and you’re helping someone, who was in a sense was misusing you, and it created bitterness.

Annabelle:        Well, in their case, they were still allowing the husband, she and her daughter left her husband and lived with me in my apartment. So then your mom let me stay at the house, at your guest room at your house, remember?

And so I would talk to her on the phone at night, and then she would tell me everything that her husband did, and I was trying to give her understanding of boundaries, so she would stop letting her husband hurt her every time, every day. And so she wouldn’t take any advice.

So at some point, I realized that I should stop giving her advice, since she was asking me for it, but not ever taking it. Caused me to be bitter, no, resentful. I resented letting her live in my house, I didn’t know I did.

Lance:              Because every day she’s dumping on you her negative stuff, but she wasn’t taking your advice on how to deal with it, but you have to listen to her go today he did this, and then you did that.

Annabelle:        Right. So you sound like it makes it justified that I did it, but I did have the attitude, but I was hidden from me. Like a lot of times bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness are hidden from us. So when I had, it was so weird, I was carrying her daughter in my apartment, and all of a sudden it was like a dart hit me right in the hip and I fell down holding her, remember?

And I fell out, and when I stood up, my belly button was like an inch and a half over to the side of my zipper and I was s-shaped. And I was like what happened? What is this? So I told our pastor, Ron Bro and Jeanne Bro, they had the miracle ministry, and I had a stick, I had a walking stick, I went to the chiropractor, I was messed up.

And I was still messed up after I got adjusted a few times, and then they called me up and they go Jeanne, you called me up to a sister, would you like some ministry? They’re from Louisiana. Pastor Ron said if you come, he’ll pray for you and I was like, I was just nasty in a bad way, because I was in so much  pain I was just really in a bad mood, and I was like okay, I thought I don’t want to go.

And when I went over there, they prayed for me, and immediately, almost like comes up out of muddy water, lord said bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness and I was like they said well, let’s just pray. If you have bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness just like that, it came up the person said I said, and it was hidden from me so I didn’t know.

But when I saw her name, I realized, put the whole thing together what happened. Do you see? So I forgave her and they said now forgive this person and you leave me in this prayer, and click and my whole spine went straight.

Lance:              And you can hear the clicks and everything?

Annabelle:        Yes, because it was a miracle. With them, there was always a miracle that was like tangible. And so it was like bells and whistles, special effects. Click, and I was all set, I was like look, my belly button’s back where it belongs, that’s amazing. So yes big hugs, high fives etc. And then I just told her when I got home you’re going to have to move out, because you know what? I see clearly that you don’t know how to deal, maneuver through this and neither do I.

So I need to get back in my apartment and on andiamo. So it worked it out, it worked out better for our relationship too, because she appreciated the honesty. She realized she was being a sap head, that’s what she called herself, I didn’t make that up. She goes oh, you’re right, I’ve been a sap head, start laughing. So the laughter broke it off of us. Anyway, you go to school with people long enough you know, you know each other, right? You just talk.

Lance:              I’ll tell you what, and now is a good time for us to do that miracle prayer with you. We’re talking about breaking the curse, how do you know there’s a curse operating? If there’s a series of adverse setbacks, everybody has the flat tire or they like I pulled into two or three cars in our driveway, I hit two or three cars.

Annabelle:        Everybody does not do that, Lance.

Lance:              Everybody hits cars in their driveway, don’t they? No, definitely not. I hit two or three in my driveway. So we’ve all had those days where natural things happen, but if you have a pattern, I might have the car crashing thing, if you have a pattern of these adversities, and it seems to be coming in a cycle, and just when things are normal, it’s like the rug is pulled out from under you.

It could be that there is a hidden cause operating. And the ones that I’m going to go for, the first one is going to be the opening the door that has this bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness which in Annabelle’s case you could clearly hear. How does her hip, and how is her back, and how could that possibly relate to a girlfriend she’s helping out?

Well, there you heard the testimony, these things don’t, they’re connected in strange ways. So it’s not always cause and effect at the place you’re looking for. So I’m going to pray for you, the same prayer that Annabelle had prayed with her. So close your eyes, you never know, she didn’t know.

Annabelle:        I had no idea.

Lance:              You don’t know. So Father we pray right now, for everyone that’s watching this. If there’s someone that we have unresolved issues with, that they’ve heard us, and that we have not yet made the decision to forgive the debt and release the offense, and just move on without anger, without revenge, without emotional connection. Lord, reveal to people right now, anyone that they need to forgive, who has hurt them, if it’s going to happen, she’s going to see faces or memories.

That doesn’t mean that because you can remember or hurt that you have unforgiveness, but you’ll know if it comes up for you. If it’s someone you need to release, because you actually have never released them. Then you simply pray father in the name of Jesus, I release, and just say their name. They hurt me, and I give them over to you and forgive them. They wounded me, they betrayed me, by trust.

But I release them to your spirit lord right now, you’re the just God and the good God, and I trust you to deal with this, with your own power and mercy for your glory, I surrender it. Take the pain from me, take the sting from me, take the smell of smoke out of me, so that I could be free. And I bless them to find you. I bless them to see you, I bless them and release them to you. I do not curse, in Jesus name.

Now, you do that, and what you’ve done if you sense that relief, your sense of lightness, if you sense that kind of like a, you’re lighter now doing that, then that means that you’ve just boom, you’ve removed and eliminated a very powerful condition for healing.

Annabelle:        And plus, if it’s loosed on earth, it’s loosed in heaven. If it’s bound on earth, it’s bound in heaven, and so you will probably hear from that person. Sometimes these things are amazing, when you do that work, then the other person is released, you’d be surprised. Because remember that time I had that whole thing with my dad, because my dad’s love language was provisioned.

So he was a doctor, he was hardly ever home, and we set a place for him at dinner every night seven kids and my mom, and my dad’s place was there, but he wasn’t there a lot. And so when he came home, my mom and him would go have a cocktail in that living room with the door shut, we weren’t allowed to talk to him. I knocked on the door mom, I talked to dad, nope, I can’t talk to you right now. It was real kind of like that, it was hurtful for me as a young person.

So I didn’t realize how that bothered me, so I went to the five-day program with the Kelstros remember, and it came up that my dad who I adored I didn’t feel like he ever had time for me and in those years. And so we did this work and I released him I forgave him, and I thanked him for the gift of life and for all the provision in my life that he cared about so much, because he grew up in the time when his dad was a union painter, they had 18 kids in their family, then 11 who lived because they kept you know different deaths and stuff, but he grew up in the depression, remember?

So anyway, provision for his family was everything to him, so that was his love language, he was loving me to his language. But my point of it is, I didn’t get it, because I didn’t get the juice the way I needed it, to me, being the middle child too. So I was playing a little bit lost there, you know middle children we also have our stories, right? We’re both middle children. But anyway, and our son Carl, he always told you to understand, well, I’m a middle child and we’re like we do understand, we’re both middle children. In any way, it’s so funny.

But anyway, the reason I’m telling you that is that the five days later after I did all this work, I lived in Rhode Island, I got a letter from my dad. I got a letter from my dad five days later telling me how much he loved me and on and on and on, and I tell you what, that was pretty remarkable. That was the beginning of a whole new love affair of and friendship.

My dad and me were so close from after that for the rest of my years, until he died, like what? About five years ago, did he die, I don’t know, four years ago. He feels like a long time ago because we miss him so much. So amazing though, right? So you go ahead and do the work and you see what happens, it’s amazing.

Lance:              And you might be surprised.

Annabelle:        You’d be very surprised.

Lance:              They might. Glad you said that, and tell us your testimony. Mercedes, where can they tell us if they got testimonies?

Mercedes:        Yes. So I have a question I’d like to ask and I realize I’m not in anyone’s peripheral vision in this spot that I’m in.

Lance:              Are you on the camera?

Mercedes:        Yes, I have a little camera here that they’ll add in lately.

Lance:              Oh, good.

Mercedes:        But to answer your question is AskLancennau.com and you can send your testimony in, and we would love to hear about it, we’d love to read about it. My question I wanted to follow up is can you have a bitterness, unforgiveness, resentment towards people you don’t know. Because I feel like in the atmosphere that we have on social media right now.

With comments, with what we watch on the news. I feel like it’s possible for people to allow a spirit to enter that way, and it might not even be a person that you know you’re familiar with. And so maybe like a face somebody’s bringing up right now maybe it’s Joe Biden, maybe it’s Kamala Harris, I mean can that happen? Do you think that that’s possible?

Annabelle:        Of course, anything’s possible. In fact, now there’s this whole group that’s helping go into the schools, which I’ll talk to you about donating to, because they’re helping the kids stop having suicide. They’re teaching them about drugs, they’re taking about bullying, they’re teaching them to understand from a different perspective, so that they can go above it a little bit, instead of being under it.

Which is a little bit what you’re talking about, because there has to be an awareness where is this coming from. Because I think there’s a little hiddenness about the evil of it all, and that’s why you’re finding about out about these young people in high school killing themselves. It’s way higher numbers than any of us have heard.

Because I talked to these guys for a while, I was like I didn’t hear about that, I didn’t hear about, it’s all local in our zip code and the zip codes next to us, so amazing. So I agree with you that we have to have somebody in that place of speaking to that, and even if those people will probably never see this broadcast. But somebody has to champion it, you know for the young, for the people in their schools.

Lance:              And you’re raising an interesting question, which is the Christian is called to love their enemies, and I don’t know how you can love an enemy that you hate, at the same time. I know that you can hate what people do, you can hate the evil that they embody, but to actually have hatred in your heart towards like the Pelosi’s or Biden or Kamala Harris or the George Soros’s of this world. If you want to really build that list, you can build out a list of all kinds of people that you have hatred in your heart towards, and it can only mean that you have no power at all to pray for that situation.

Because you’re disqualified from praying, because you’re not even meeting the condition of being able to pray for your enemies, because you’re called to love your enemies. And this is really opening a can of worms, because I’ll bet you half the politically astute body of Christ, remember something, you were offended by this lady because you cared so much about her that you went out of your way to help her.

Annabelle:        She became a professional victim, I told her.

Lance:              Right. She became a professional victim, and you became a professional victim of a curse.

Annabelle:        Right.

Lance:              So the people that care the most about America, the people that care the most about what’s happening in the country, the people that see the evil that is being done. The people that identify with Donald Trump, and even the persecution he gets that you identify with because you get it too, it’s quite easy to go out. I’ve heard prophets use language about these people that basically dehumanizes them.

I say well, I can’t go there, I got a lot of negative flack because I even referred to President Biden because like it or not, he’s presiding in the oval office not my president. Well, I guess you can’t pray for president Biden, then you can all pray for his soul. Frankly, I’m not worried about his soul, I’m worried about his decisions. Because I know Jimmy Carter had his soul saved and made terrible executive decisions.

Put us 444 days into an Iran Hostage scenario, and double-digit inflation, and almost shut down tax exemption for churches and schools. So I wasn’t worried about his soul, I was worried about his presiding in the oval office. We’ve got someone presiding, that person presiding is called the president or the president.

So if you’re going to pray for the president, you might want to think about the fact that he actually is in the office and God put him there. Well, God didn’t do that, I guess God can’t bind the devil then the devil does what he wants. Either God allowed it or the devil’s bigger than God, what’s your confession? I say God allowed it. So if God allowed it, God’s doing something.

And God allowed pharaoh to exist in Egypt, then God allowed Nero to exists in the first century. More recently, God allowed Mao and Stalin and Hitler, he didn’t stop him, but he accomplishes his purpose in spite of them. The secret is you cannot let bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness rancor in your heart like a cancer, feed itself with anger and resentment, because you have no power to break free from that spirit, and bind it. You cannot bind what binds you.

Annabelle:        That’s true.

Lance:              You cannot cast out what lives in you. You don’t have authority over what has authority over you. The only way this can happen is if you could be like Jesus. Jesus of all people who was without sin, looked at his enemies, you know what he said? Father forgive them, they are clueless about what they’re doing. The democrats that stole this election were clueless about what they were doing to America.

They actually think we’re the threat to America, they do not know what they’re doing, they are ignorant. And that was Jesus’s out for them. He said man, if they knew who I was and what they’re doing right now, they wouldn’t be doing it, father. Because they will know who I am, shortly. Everyone dies and has to meet him, imagine a shock on these people’s face when it’s like oh my God, you’re the judge?

Annabelle:        Can I have one of these blue pieces of paper, because I want to make an illustration real quick. But I want to just pull it out.

Lance:              All right. Annabelle wants this book. So what I’m trying to say to you is if God brings up to your face, or even crossed the screen of your imagination, well, I’m not going to forgive them, I hate them, well you can’t allow hatred for anyone, you understand what I’m saying? You have no authority over a situation when you’re not obeying the word.

Annabelle:        So remember Pastor Dennis Myron used to be teaching on distortionary thinking.

Lance:              Okay. You’re on the camera right over there, give it to them.

Annabelle:        This is my perspective, okay. I’ve got this little thing like I’m telling you my dad was never home for dinner, he was home for dinner. But he was not home for dinner a lot too, so I’m going to focus on when he was not home for dinner, and all of these other times he was I’m going to say he was never there, but actually he was there a lot.

But I just didn’t have my need met, so I’m going to yell, scream and cry baby, complain. But the reason I’m saying that is are we going to hold people as an it or vow. Like if you reduce everybody in government to an it, and hate them, then you’ve just taken away the vow.

So it goes with what you’re saying, and this goes with what you’re saying too. Because there’s amounts, but we get so over the top that we’re going to focus on this and all this other stuff, we don’t even take it into account anymore because we’re so hopping mad, because everyone’s wicked.

Lance:              And by the way, this is what the liberals do, which is why you get so mad at them. They take this part of American history, this is part of American history with racism oh wait, slavery. Here we are, we had slavery for 1200 years in Great Britain. We’re a republic less than what, 1776, 18, 19 so we’re republicans under 400 years old. Within the first 150 years, we dealt with an issue other country went a thousand years to deal with.

We fought a war over it, that’s how the issue and people say well, it really wasn’t about slavery, yes it was, because it was the abolitionists in the north that pushed the issue to the point of war. It was the Christians that pushed the war, and Lincoln got caught in the crosshairs of it. But you know what the critical race theory people do, they focus on the part that is legitimately terrible and it obscures the entire story of America and makes it all evil, and every white person, evil.

That’s distortionary thinking. And so you can do the same thing with government, you can do the same thing with people. I’ve seen it happen with nations; you don’t think that Russia right now is being propagandized to hate the United States 24 hours a day? Those people, they got whatever food shortages they have, whatever disruption they got, our corporations caused it, because we feel so self-righteous about destroying their economy.

Well, you know what? If in the end times, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, if you don’t want to get caught up in the spirit of antichrist, you’re going to have to be filled with the spirit of Jesus Christ. And that’s going to have to be a spirit that forgives your enemies, because they don’t know what they’re doing. They think they do, and they don’t, the devil’s got a hulk in their brain.

But if you pray for them, you can pray for them and not agree with what they’re doing, you could pray for them to see the evil. But if you pray for them from the right heart the way Jesus prays for his enemies, you actually will not be affected by what they do. God help us if things keep going the wrong way, we’ll have Christians that are ready to go to war with sinners over what’s happening. You can’t let that happen; you have to rise above it.

So I’m telling you, you have to be able to see the evil. I see what George Soros is doing, and I have to pray that God will neutralize his effect, expose the evil of what they’re doing, disrupt their supply and save, go in there and rescue and tear out a testimony, maybe Jonathan, pray for his son Jonathan, because George would be God, then his son Jonathan has been mentored by him.

He maybe needs to meet a real Christian. You know how many people have never met a real Christian? I mean, I can’t tell you, it’s like these people that we’re so critical of, it’s weird but they live in a little bubble and very few Christians get into that bubble. And if they do, they’re so compromised and so wishy-washy that they’re no dynamic encounter. Do you know, I told Mercedes, one of the reasons why the Elon Musk went and put three billion dollars into Twitter? I said it, not even have the data for it.

I said I believe that when Babylon be with their like three million followers or one million followers or whatever, when they got kicked off of twitter, it got across his desk. Because guys like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, they actually are more dialed in on social media than you and me, they watch stuff. And I think it offended him, that they’re that intolerant, because he just got done doing an interview with them, he kind of likes their cheekiness. So true, I found out.

Elon called the CEO of Babylon B to confirm his understanding, that they were kicked off because of their response to the man of the year was the transgender woman, that is now the attorney general and search, whatever that is. Up in Rachel, LeVine, up in Washington. So when Elon heard that, he said I thought so, that’s when he decided he was going to go make his move on Twitter, to deal with the imbalance of their censorship.

But I’m saying it because you want to pray for Elon Musk, you don’t want to categorize him as whatever, you want to actually, because God’s going to give us many of these people that you think are adversarial are actually going to be made your friends.

Mercedes:        I want to jump in because I think it’s important to say what the bible says, because I guess it’s bible study time. But we don’t wage war against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of the air. And so I think sometimes, we get really focused on the person that’s in front of us, and you got to recognize it’s an empty vessel.

If the Holy Spirit’s not inside of that person, that’s an empty vessel that other spirits can come inside and operate. And so there’s a demonic agenda, and I believe the devil is going to operate through whoever he has agreement with. But we need to be praying for those people. And so when you say I’m not worried about Biden’s soul, I know that you are, it’s just things like that get taken out of context.

Annabelle:        Why did you say such a thing as that? I don’t mean her, I mean you, Lamce.

Mercedes:        Yes, I just want to finish my thought though. Because the full thought is that if people really understood how awful hell is, and that it was created for Satan and the angels, we don’t want anybody to go there. It’s so terrifying and awful, you actually don’t even want your enemy to go there, it’s that bad. Like when you’re like oh, go to hell. I mean, if you really think about what hell’s like, and the punishment for eternity, eternal separation from the goodness of God.

We don’t even recognize in the earth, like you talk about grace, there’s common grace, like the rain that falls. The goodness of God that’s all over the earth right now, to be totally devoid of that and an eternal judgment and suffering. I mean, it’s really bad. So like when you say that, I’m like I am concerned about his soul, I’m concerned about eternal destiny, Nancy’s eternal destiny, all of these people because like you said, they know not what they do.

They haven’t probably ever met a real Christian that genuinely cared about them. I mean, obviously I think that they have, those guys probably have, because I know the type of people in C. But anyways, I just want to say that I know that you do.

Lance:              I appreciate that, and I thank you for bringing that up so that I can clarify for people. Do you remember when Rush Limbaugh after Barack Obama got elected, they said well, what do you think Rush? Rush said I hope he fails. Oh my gosh, that was taken all over the internet, over the news. Rush Limbaugh, on the first day of President Obama’s administration, he went on the air and told 20 million people he hopes he fails.

Well, what Rush was saying is, I know what his agenda is, Rush was prophetic. He said, I know, as a progressive Marxist, who he is and what he’s going to do to America, and I hope he fails in that agenda. So when I say I’m not worried about, Biden, I’m answering the fact that I hear a lot of Christians say he’s not my president, I’ll pray for his soul. And I’m saying his soul’s not the problem.

If you’re in a plane, and the pilot is under the influence, you could pray for, well I’m not praying for the flight, I’m praying for a soul. No, you’re not, you’re praying for the flight you know why? You’re on board the flight and they’re in the cockpit. When I say I’m not worried about his soul, I’m saying I’m not going to be cute like other people say well, I’ll pray for his soul but I’m not praying for anything else. I am only praying for other things basically, because I pray for everybody to get saved.

But in his case, I’m praying that he doesn’t get us into a thermonuclear war with Russia. I’m actually praying for him, not against him. I’m praying for him to continue to resist the Lindsay’s and the Mark Levins, and the Hannitys who want us to get into a war, a kinetic war with Russia, which I believe will lose because we don’t have God fighting with us like we had before.

So I say I’m not really focused on his soul, lord save his soul, yes, in Jesus name. My prayers for him are God, keep him, strong in his resilience against the manipulation into war. Give him the cognitive ability to keep pushing back on decisions that will lead us into nuclear war in, Jesus’s name. But I’m praying that prayer because I recognize he is presiding in that decision office.

Annabelle:        You’re holding him in a place of love.

Lance:              I’m holding him in a place of love, and yes, and I pray to God. And anybody that does see hell would never wish that upon their enemies. Having said that, you know I do believe it’s a really interesting teaching. We’ll have to get into it sometime, but it’s now 51 minutes, I can’t do it now.

And it’ll produce the fear of the lord, has to do with a reprobate mind, that God’s judgment has already been released on the earth, and some people are not going to get saved. You realize how horrendous hell is, and the ultimate judgment of God isn’t killing you, the ultimate judgment of God is turning you over to your own desires.

Because if God turns you over to your own desires, and your own desires are hostile and contrary to him, and you’re not born again, then God has set you for destruction, and you’ve got a certain number of years you’re living on the earth, like a little modicum of time, and then unravel the tape for about 100,000 miles, never ends, that’s eternity. So there are those who God has actually already turned over to a reprobate mind, this is a shocking and a scary thought, and if people understood, it would freak them out.

That when God is no longer convicting you, and you are no longer wrestling with that voice of good and evil. When you grieve the spirit of God so much that God withdraws from you and doesn’t fight with you anymore, at that moment, you’ve been given over to your lust. The bible says that that’s going to happen in mass in the last days.

Where those who receive not the love of the truth shall be sent a spirit of strong delusion, that they might be condemned who did not receive the love of the truth, that’s the verse for what I just said. God’s judgment on the earth isn’t going to be when people are vaporized with fire and drop dead, it’s going to be when he withdraws from them and says all right, I’ll no longer wrestle with you, you can have your way, but you’re accountable for what you’re doing, bam, you don’t want that.

So the fear of the lord is, I pray that God does not withdraw his hand off of us. We have to pray that the conscience in America is restored. Because the sure sign of judgment is when there is no more wrestling with good and evil, just surrendering to the evil, and we don’t want that.

Mercedes:        But C. S. Lewis says that the doors of hell are locked from the inside, meaning everyone who’s there does not want God, has actively made that choice and they wouldn’t even want to leave.

I mean, they don’t even necessarily know what they mean, but their mind’s been given over in such a way, they’ve been offered that opportunity so many times that they’ve decided in their heart that they don’t want the lord, which is that reprobate mind that you’re talking about. So, it’s fascinating.

Lance:              And here’s the promise for all of you, you aren’t always promised that you’re going to have the success you want in the short term, but your promised ultimate victory and harvest. So sometimes, we have like those processes, probably we have to be in there for the long haul, we can’t quit when things don’t go our way, because they’ll turn around in the next season. We’re watching that in America, we’re watching now the turnaround, and the good news is we’re watching from the Durham report, to the Hunter Biden laptop, to the Pfizer study.

Oh my gosh, you only have to open your eyes, and see like the Elon Musk that are rising up, and the others. God is raising up right now the great pushback. So I’m glad that we’re having this conversation. Annabelle exemplifies to me this verse right here, I want to read to you, and it applies to all of us.

Do the will of God, from the heart, not as men pleasers, not as those that are doing it for the audience, but doing it because Christ is watching. With goodwill render service or contribution, as to the lord and not even to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the lord, whether you’re doing it as a slave or as a free man.

What you sow is coming back to you. Do what you do as unto the lord and not unto the man, not unto the woman, not unto the person, but do it as though the lord is the one you’re doing it for. Because the bible says, whatever good thing you do, this is Ephesians chapter six, right before we get into the warfare verses, we wrestle now with flesh and blood.

Paul says just remember, that even with that person who is evil or wicked, if you can bless them, you can love them, you could serve them, forget them, go past them and say I’m doing it for you, Jesus. If you, do it for the lord, the lord with the nod in the wing says and I’m going to repay you, don’t worry about them.

So when you have that mentality, people don’t control you, you’re serving the lord, the good that you’re doing, you’re doing as unto him and not unto a person. So the lord says that he will receive back from the lord directly, reminds me of that promise. For all the partners Annabelle has, lord gave me a promise for them.

We had a little fundraiser the other night with a room and we had dinner with some people, and the promise the lord reminded me of is that, he that gives to the poor lends to the lord, and the lord himself shall repay him. There’s like five different kinds of offerings in the bible, most gentiles don’t get this. In the Jewish culture, we understand this. It’s beyond the tithing.

There are different kinds of offerings that are given, and there’s an offering for the poor. The offering for the poor is unique, in that the lord says they need some help, they can’t pay you back right now. But I’ll tell you what, when I prompt you to do something for that person, do it unto me, but let them be the recipient, I’ll take care of you. And you know when God does repay you, how does God repay you? In a greater way than you expect, with a greater volume than you anticipated.

Sometimes, the repayment comes in a form you weren’t looking for. So I thank the lord all the time, I’m not saying that it’s always result of my giving or your giving, but I do think about your giving, honey, and I think of how it sows to the poor and it’s lending to the lord in a massive scale. Of course, then, I’m actually the one providing for that, am I not?

Annabelle:        Well, you are part of it with a bunch of other people, but the truth is in your dining room.

Lance:              It’s in my dining room.

Annabelle:        You have to bring all the boxes in.

Lance:              Have you guys seen those boxes?

Annabelle:        Because it has to actually be delivered to my house, a lot of it.

Lance:              I had so many boxes.

Annabelle:        Warehouses, you can’t just have deliveries.

Lance:              It’s like the alamo, I’m piling them up over my head in my house, but because we get them.

Annabelle:        They just stay out of the rain that way, brother.

Lance:              They stay out of the rain that way. All right, so I bless you in the name of Jesus, and by the way, I want you to support this really powerful work, FurnishingfamiliesofTexas.com.

Annabelle:        Why do you make that face like that, you don’t know the name. That is the name of the first one, and we just got our first beachhead in Dallas with Liz Curry, she’s the apostolic leader over the Hispanics in that whole region, who she, well I mean for giving out a lot of different things.

Lance:              Now, some of you might say well, that’s Texas, I don’t want to get.

Annabelle:        That’s okay, because Donna is in California, she’s going to start the first one in California.

Lance:              So there may be a furnishing families in your state as well.

Annabelle:        There’s going to be one in every state and every major city in the country before we go global. There’s already one, Kimmy’s already starting one.

Lance:              Really?

Annabelle:        Yes, didn’t you see all the stuff she was giving away.

Lance:              All right. So I didn’t know about this. So furnishing families of Ohio, of Pennsylvania, of Florida.

Annabelle:        Start one in your own chapter.

Lance:              You can connect with anybody; you can be part of.

Annabelle:        All you need is a garage to start, yours will do.

Lance:              Or a living room.

Annabelle:        You don’t even need to rent something.

Lance:              And a husband who’s flexible.

Annabelle:        Yes, because he doesn’t even mind the mess, because you should see his mess. My mess is at least identified, his is, like you know it’s okay because we have an understanding.

Lance:              My mess?

Annabelle:        Yes, like exploding suitcases everywhere. Just follow him around, you’ll see what I mean. Look at his car for instance. Sorry, I’m not even telling on you, it’s just, you’re talking about messes, I just got carried away.

Lance:              Messes? All right. God bless you.

Annabelle:        Creative people make a mess, it’s okay.

Lance:              I’ll be talking to you again on our next broadcast. God bless you, bye-bye.

Annabelle:        Bye-bye.

Lance:              A few moments ago, the lord just spoke a word to me, and I had to go look it up and the word was partakers of this grace. I went and I had to go do, I went to Google and I had a word search and here it is. Philippians chapter 1 verse 7, Paul is talking about that he that began a good work in you is going to complete it under the day of Jesus Christ. God that started something off is going to finish it.

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partakers of grace with me. I thought about that, you are partakers of grace with me. Grace is the divine enablement of God that comes to you, so that the will of God can be moving in you and through you, it’s a supernatural empowerment.

And Paul’s saying that you’re a partaker of my grace, the grace that’s on me is operating in you. They had a unique claim to Paul’s gift if you will, his anointing. And then I looked, I said how did they connect with that grace, and then in chapter four, he says no church in is chapter four like verse 15, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you.

No one ever partnered with me and said we’re going to partner with you Paul except for you. Now, and more than once, you sent a gift for my necessities. Now, I’m not really just seeking the gift, but I’m seeking the profit of the increase that’s coming to your account. I’m accepting and enjoying your generosity, because I know that it’s going to profit you, and it’s going to increase you, because God’s going to supply every one of your needs through that riches and glory.

This is a unique promise Paul gives as an apostle, to those that partnered with him, that were partaking in his grace, and the anointing on him was in that church, the Philippian church. It’s an interesting thing, but you do connect with the grace that is on a ministry when you partner with it. I want to ask you to partner with me right now, partner with our ministry so that we can do the work we’re called to do.

I’ve got a building I’m looking to get, move out and expand in so that we could have you come visit us. We’re doing these broadcasts; I really would love to be around our people. So would you go to Lancewallnau.com/partner and partner with us, and I believe the grace and the gift that is here in this ministry is actually multiplying in you, and increasing in you.

As you connect with us, and we connect with you, we’re going to be connecting with a greater grace. LanceWallnau.com/partner and I thank you for your friendship, for your prayers, and for your generosity to help us do this work. It’s a joy to labor with you.
