We’re talking about the story of the woman who touched Jesus’s robe, sowing into the spirit, and more on today’s broadcast!
Episode Transcript
Lance: Every now and then, I get a special word. It’s something that’s just pops up on the inside of me and I feel like I have to say. It’s like a prophecy. It has a shelf life and you have to release it. I’ve got a word for somebody today and I think it’s going to make a massive difference and Annabelle is part of this message. So, you’re going to love what we talk about today. I believe it’s going to give you an impartation of an anointing and the theme is going to be supernatural and divine connecting. There is a connection that’s happening right now in your life in several areas, that’s going to release the flow and purpose of God at a new level. I want to get into that message with Annabelle.
Hey, this is Lance Wallnau back again with a special segment which is requested by popular demand. Unpredictable conversations with my wife Annabelle. Hi, honey.
Annabelle: That’s quite an introduction.
Lance: It’s quite an introduction. By the way, don’t you just love her pigtails there? It’s a new look.
Annabelle: Pigtail.
Lance: I like it. Is that what they’re called?
Annabelle: Braids.
Lance: Oh, braids. Sorry about that.
Annabelle: Pigtails are little like.
Lance: Oh, they’re smaller. Oh, okay.
Annabelle: Like a pigtail.
Lance: Well, I love the braids.
Annabelle: Ponytail.
Lance: Don’t you guys love the braids?
Annabelle: Thank you.
Lance: It brings out your, shall we say your, I was going to say your free child. But most of you don’t know a free child is a scale in the Minnesota Multiphasic, which it has to do with the degree of childlike energy that you have which is something which I always love about you. So, we’re going to be talking now about something which I think is important you probably don’t know what we’re going to talk about.
Annabelle: I never know with you because I’m as surprised as you are.
Lance: That’s right but I’m surprises me, that’s right. I don’t even know what I’m talking about.
Annabelle: Usually you come up with it right live, that’s what we love about you.
Lance: It’s there now there you go and it happened last night or was it this morning? You were reading to me a letter that you got from.
Annabelle: And I think it was this morning but you went to bed at 6:00. I mean it was last night for you.
Lance: I went to bed at 6. I did stay up a little late last night. I was in my library.
Annabelle: So, I don’t want to go in there when I got up at 4.
Lance: And sometimes there’s an atmosphere in there that is just energizing. And it’s in the spirit, I think. And so, you came in around 6 and said, hey, you want breakfast?
Annabelle: No, 5.
Lance: 5. And that’s when I realized I was in trouble.
Annabelle: Then you were like I’m almost finished.
Lance: I’m almost finished. So, but you were sharing me a testimony and I wanted to get it out today and this is really important for somebody this is important for you. It has to do with an individual and somehow this letter got lost or something but it was…
Annabelle: You know KK just brought it, gave it to Michaela. Michaela just brought it home it was just written in the last few weeks. Even though it refers to January and Thanksgiving.
Lance: So, KK, Michaela all these are names of Annabelle’s team of First Furnishing Families. So, they sent you this letter and you read it to me and you to me and I thought my gosh I need to share this with people because it has to do with a woman who is a pastor, who had suffered some really great terrible losses. Her husband had had passed away and various other people were her mother.
Annabelle: Her aunt. So, her friend they had COVID and died. She got COVID. She was in the hospital. The doctors didn’t give her much hope that she was going to live and her lungs were just really damaged from it.
Lance: And her heart.
Annabelle: Yeah so, she went through a whole lot. And She received a gift from us at Thanksgiving.
Lance: Alright, so what happened?
Annabelle: So, she received lilies and roses which when we choose a Thanksgiving gift everyone doesn’t get the same thing we choose. Because some of the flowers changed it, but that was specifically really was touching to her because she loves those two flowers somehow. Like it was kind of a match, right. And so that was one thing that she said I thought was amazing. And your letter you wrote a very touching letter and you said for everybody to watch expect a miracle on Thanksgiving. Expect God to visit you, a visitation. And she got hers.
Lance: Right.
Annabelle: So, it was an anchor for her and it gave her such a connection to hold her faith steadfast. She was preaching by January 2nd she preached the whole hour. So, she was delighted to tell us.
Lance: So, I’ll read to you what she said because I think it’s so powerful. “Brother Lance and Sister Annabelle thank you so much for the beautiful roses and lilies that you sent after my hospitalization for COVID. Pneumonia. The bouquet came right after I got out of the hospital. Your note said to look for the Lord to move by Thanksgiving Day. At that point, I was on oxygen and could barely move and COVID had attacked my hearing as well as lungs and heart. I had to go to early because of the exhaustion on Thanksgiving Day. But I expected God to move. The very next day my ears popped open and my strength started to come back. I was able to wean myself off the oxygen. My heart rate’s now normal, blood pressure is normal and they say my lungs are now perfect. Praise God and thank you again for the point of contact in Jesus’ name.”
So, idea of a point of contact. I remember I did a show with Jim Baker and I got all this hostile weird email. Because I had made this, I referenced this idea of a point of contact and I realized that a lot of folks have no understanding of the language. They were saying it’s not scriptural, its new age, whatever. So, here’s the story behind that. Coming from a Pentecostal background or healing ministry background. I’ve been exposed to it. We’ve been exposed to great ministries. Healing ministries, prophetic ministries. We’ve seen the real thing. People may be exposed in nonsense but we grew up authentic.
Annabelle: Yeah.
Lance: And what I learned was that, when the woman with the issue of blood said to herself, if I can just touch the hem of the garment, I’ll be healed. So, Jesus is walking through the crowd, the disciples are probably a bodyguard around him. Because that’s when if you ever see, I remember watching Catherine Coleman, they had to have a group of elders around and men around her because people would try to get at you if you have a healing ministry. So, but the woman had reached out in the midst of them and touched the hem of his garment and immediately, she had a flow of blood that ceased and she knew it. She was knew instantly she was healed in herself, the Bible says. And Jesus in all the chaos was not trying to minister to her.
This is the interesting revelation. He was trying to get from one place to the other but he stopped and he said something which struck the disciples as weird because everybody’s reaching out. He said, who touched me? Peter, always say the dumbest things like master everybody’s trying to get a hold of you. What do you mean who touched it? It’s like chaos around here. He goes, ‘No’. I perceived that virtue went out of me. He sensed something in him went out. And he’s looking around and he’s staring through the crowd like as only Jesus can do. This multitude of people, and the woman knowing she could not be hid. Realized he’s going to find me.
He’s going to know and so she just said it was me. Like she wasn’t sure if this is a violation of some protocol or what. It’s me and she was trembling said, no, he said be of good cheer your faith has made you whole. And that’s where I began to think about and this is what would be taught by like Jack Coe AA Allen, Oral Roberts, then I heard Kenneth Hagan talk about. It’s called a point of context. Sometimes faith as a force that’s on the inside of you needs to have, it’s like firing a weapon. You need a point of release, need a point where you release your faith, your agreement with what’s happening. And she had set it up so that she said to herself, if I can but touch the hem of his garment, I’ll be made whole.
That was the point of contact that she had created and there are other points of contact in the Bible. So, when Paul had these aprons on him, these handkerchiefs and he was working and just perspiring and in the heat of the toil of what he was doing, I post it was when he was also working as a tent maker while he was also preaching an itinerant preacher. And he had these napkins or aprons they called them, that were he wore on his body. He took them from his body and dispersed them. And wherever they went and they were placed on somebody who was sick or someone who needed deliverance and the point of contact released the virtue. Remember, virtue when out of him. There was a virtue that Paul was in a sense infusing into those inanimate objects.
Now, this is a mystery folks but it’s in cloth. It was in the hem of a garment. It was in these handkerchiefs that when they came in contact with people, boom. There was deliverance, there was healing and I can remember when we heard that teaching. How I got the idea and I used to do this. I used to go in these corporate headquarters. We prayed over these cloths and we pray and pray and pray till we felt that there was a saturation anointing or something.
Annabelle: We got every color.
Lance: We called it and then I would take them I would place them under the chairs of certain key people, managers, and people that I was ministering to, while I was a consultant in New York. I was in the oil industry and there’s no school for this. It was just we were improvising. But then what I would find that I’d be called in to talk to them and the spirit of God was on them, and I remember, they didn’t even realize that I’m putting this these prayer clothes.
Annabelle: You never told them.
Lance: No, I didn’t tell them. I was I was I was kind of like Pentecostal terrorists are planting these little blessing bombs everywhere. So, they would be sitting on them and I would minister to them and we had many people that were touched by God and indeed our whole wedding group what he called The Wedding Party was made up of men and women that we led to the Lord. It’s quite a fruitful period of time while I was in the marketplace while I was working in the secular world and while you’re working in the secular world. We were just and the divine appointments that you get.
When you walk with God, it’s such a powerful thing because if you’re walking in rhythm with what god called you to do, you’re not having random meetings. There’s always going to be an encounter with people who are coming to the radar because God wants to do something for them and make that miracle happen and they’ll be in your heart. You’ll be interceding for them for a while until that burden lifts, because God has you carrying something for them. I think we’re coming back into a season of supernatural activation for the body of Christ. It’s almost as though spring is in the natural here in the United States, but it’s in the spirit.
There’s a period of freedom coming to the body of Christ and there’s a period of divine supernatural connection that’s taking place. So, I thought we talk about the power of connection and this idea of a point of contact. Now, you saw something at Kenneth Copeland’s headquarters. You mentioned, I think we need to do this.
Annabelle: I love it because he showed us on the big screen out. He has pictures of all his partners and then he prays over them as they go past. So, just pretend there’s a big TV screen in front of me, and then I’m praying for everybody. People send in prayer request too, but I love that because we’re both visual. Anyway, so I want to get all our partners to send pictures, because I don’t have pictures of everyone. I don’t know who this lady is, Pastor Gretchen. Like I don’t, I just have.
Lance: You can’t begin playing in your mind. So, and I’m visual so I don’t get names ever but I get faces.
Annabelle: You get a face, yeah.
Lance: Once I see a face, I really don’t forget it. So, I have to see, I always tell people.
Annabelle: You even remember where you saw them. What state where.
Lance: I remember because for some reason, it registers with me. So, one of the things we want to do it, we believe that as the news cycle continues its torturous, water torture route of things happening and all kinds of problems. I’m aware more than ever and it’s a verse in the Bible I want to go to that says, and it was a word for someone today that I want to share this with. And you might be dealing with depression, suicide, anxiety, sleeplessness or lingering COVID symptoms such as this lady was saying that she was believing God and got delivered from including that hearing that opened up.
Annabelle: Amazing.
Lance: So, Paul this about coming to maturity to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. What a great promise, that there is God’s plan to bring each of us to the full measure that God has measured you at like 6 foot 2’ and you maybe 5 foot 8’. But he’s got a 6 foot 2’ call and anointing and he’s going to increase you to come to the full stature of who you’re called to be. That’s this season that we’re in right now. And Paul goes on to say, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ as a result we are no longer to be children. Tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine or teaching or conspiracy theory. By the trickery of men by craftiness and deceitful scheming.
I look that because so much of the news cycle that I cover three or four days a week. Right now, we have like 750,000 downloads. So, you can go to Lance Wallnau show and you catch the just, sign up for the podcast in various formats. You just get it free. And you get the show. We do this, I’m covering seven days a week now to try to inform people. We do various subjects on different days. But I noticed that so much of the news cycle for me is piercing the veil of trickery of men and craftiness. Because you’re not actually reading events as the press covers them. You’re reading manipulated headlines.
Annabelle: Right.
Lance: That are skewed by deceitful people in order to advance a certain argument and to agitate, divide, and fragment America and the different factions. So, as I’m looking at that, I’m thinking, boy, this is so true. God doesn’t want us tossed by the cycles of what we’re hearing but speaking the truth in love. Meaning being able to discern what’s actually happening and that not speaking out of anxiety or agitation either, but speaking what is true in love grounded in Christ. We are to grow up in all aspects into him who is the head even Christ and this is a long sentence comma, from whom. The whole body, being and held together by that which every joint supplies.
There’s a key. Every joint, supplies something. According to the proper working of each individual part causes the growth of the corporate body for the building up of itself and love. The connecting of parts is connecting in my mind to that point of contact idea that if people have a point of contact is a place a connection a point of contact is a place of connecting. And like you’re saying having the plasma screen TV image with pictures it’s beautiful of the people that are partnering with us in prayer and partner with us in giving. That’s how we know that there listen if I got 750, 000 downloads, it doesn’t mean I got 750,000 fans. Maybe I have fans but doesn’t mean I have 750,000 people partnering or connecting yet, but they’re in what they’re hearing.
Annabelle: Yeah.
Lance: But I feel a special authority to start to pray for and minister to people like this. I’m thinking about it just before you brought that up to my attention.
Annabelle: That’s what’s so cool.
Lance: That’s why and then I called you and said just go over the studio today and I just want to catch this while it’s fresh manna and I believe this thing about every joint supplies that every one of you has a supply, something that you give.
Annabelle: Yup.
Lance: And then we on our part have something that we give and that’s why the partnering becomes so powerful. Kenneth Coleman was trying to get this cross to me. Andrew Womack was wrestling with me to try to get me understand this. Andrew challenged me and said, ‘You’re a great teacher but you’re not teaching the whole council of God. That’s kind of a challenge when a great guy like Andrew calls you out. I said, ‘Why’? He said, ‘Well, because you don’t even allow people, you don’t even talk about connecting with you and partnering what your anointing is, what you’re called to do and how people can do it.’ So, I was kind of like, well, that’s interesting. I hadn’t thought of it. I hadn’t thought that I was neglecting part of the council of what a teacher supposed to teach.
Annabelle: Because part of you actually didn’t even really believe in it for you. Like you were providing everything you could for your ministry to do what it did. And at some point, the ministry’s way bigger than what we could provide. But even I was able to be early adapter to believe in it and want it, but you weren’t ready for it. But now you’re ready for it. Like I mean it’s a whole different kind of humility to encourage people to give to your ministry. But the thing is it’s a blessing for them. Furnishing Families like right now, what they’re doing is because everybody’s on board helping even ministries helping. And people watching who already know what we’re doing you’re helping. So, we already need each other to help or we could never do what we’re doing.
You and I, we could’ve never given away all the stuff that got given away. We didn’t have it. So, what’s in your hand, you know.
Lance: Yeah, and so the stuff and for those of you that aren’t familiar with this Furnishing Families. Annabelle had had it in her heart to go help single mothers and families that don’t have beds, don’t have kitchen tables, don’t have furniture.
Annabelle: Anything.
Lance: Sometimes the government will provide you with a place and it’s empty.
Annabelle: Right.
Lance: And the kids would be sleeping. They sleep like with their shirts.
Annabelle: Over their knees.
Lance: Over their knees, so they don’t roll over and then they lean against the wall.
Annabelle: They’re good at it. So, you can tell they’re doing all the time. They just that’s where they’re sleeping.
Lance: But what a difference it makes when suddenly they just they can line up and there’s a ministry of Jesus that is create furnishing the family.
Annabelle: Well and then giving your time. So, I mean people can give into the ministries, any ministry with money and their time and whatever it is that they feel called to do. But the thing that is it come makes them come alive.
Lance: And you and you got a number of volunteers too.
Annabelle: Yeah, I’ve got a lot of volunteers who really make a big difference. By having the volunteers we’re mobilizing a whole ant farm. And then there’s going to be serve week at Gateway Church. They’re going to serve. But anyway, I’m not trying to make this about Furnishing Families. Using examples because the thing about it is that when people start to partner, whatever you’re partnering with, you actually are partaking of.
So, Kim Clement used to teach us that. Like when we would partner with his ministry, we were going to receive the anointing that’s on his ministry and so it really grew us up fast. You know what I mean? In a lot of ways, the prophetic gifts that we receive from being partnering with the prophet. You know what I mean? It was a big change for us. Miracle grow.
Lance: And so, based on that revelation and it is a revelation. I’ve become convinced that I’m an anointed teacher clearly, a prophetic teacher which is why I see the future and then teach out of what I see.
Annabelle: Right.
Lance: And that’s where Seven Mounds came from. That’s where Donald Trump came from for the 2 million evangelicals, I helped persuade to see him as a Cyrus. And then Cyrus became the revelation that came out of Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister even called him that. So, the idea is we partner now more intentionally. I’m looking for Galatians because there’s a great verse in here that speaks about where Paul Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians in front of Ephesians that’s why I can’t find it.
So, when Paul is talking about his ministry as a teacher, he brings out the idea that he says, let the one who was taught the word, share all good things with him who teaches. But I look that up and I’m studying it says, let the one who is taught the words, that’s the one who’s receiving revelation, let them share all good things. Meaning whatever you’ve got that you can with reciprocity put back into the ministry is your way of connecting with that flow of revelation. Now the revelation is free and the revelation is without charge. So, it’s always going, but then when you receive something you can connect with the person who’s teaching. And you sow back in, you can partner back in, you can partner back in financially. And in whatever way you can do that.
Some people say, we don’t have anything. Well, you have like Kim used to say, if you have a button put that in the offering. He was that clear about this idea that you start with what you have what little you have.
Annabelle: It’s a point of contact.
Lance: Because it’s a point of contact, exactly. And he said that the one who was taught the word share and all good things with him who teaches. And then he says is interesting is, do not be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption. But the one who sows to the spirit shall from the spirit reap eternal life for everlasting life. And let us not lose heart in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap back if we do not grow weary. And I really begin to realize when we were sowing all those years and we still do. Obviously, we’re still doing it now. More so than ever.
Annabelle: Right.
Lance: But we would sow to ministry that we felt was anointing, revelation, teaching, and feeding us. What I noticed was that those of us who sow to the spirit shall from the spirit reap and the word translated everlasting life is actually a different word than is used frequently for everlasting life. It’s the word Zoe, ZOE. The word Zoe refers to there’s bios which is biological life. There’s a natural life and then Zoe refers to the quality of life that is in the anointing. It’s the quality of life that God himself has.
So, when we’re sowing to the spirit or when we sow into the anointing, then we reap from that connection God’s own quality of life, which is life more abundant. It’s a life that is the nature of God is being released back into you and then he says that you sow to the spirit and that became like a revelation. Because there’s different kinds of giving. There’s a place for giving because of a need. You see that on world hunger. You see it with, I see it now with the late night especially on Fox Channels. They have these Jewish refugees that are survivors of the Holocaust, which I’m not trying to be cynical about this. But I mean I got family that lives in Israel Jewish on my dad’s side of his part of the family. But I mean to be a survivor of the Holocaust.
I mean the Holocaust was in the end of 1945, so that means you’re going to be 55, 65, 75, 85, 95 2005, 2015, 2000. They can be like 90 years old or so. How many survivors of the Holocaust? Evidently there’s some still there.
Annabelle: Well, there sure are. There are in America too, I mean.
Lance: Okay, but they’re like 90 some years old or something. But the point is that a lot of people give because of the emotion that they have towards the subject. So, they’re not necessarily sowing to the spirit, they’re sowing.
Annabelle: Not linking their faith.
Lance: Right. They’re sowing to a need and need sometimes could be manipulated to make you feel like you’ve got to do something. And then you kind of look at that and you go, well, how much of what I’m really sowing is going to meet that need? Because then you find out that in a lot of the world hunger programs and UNICEF and all that. Like 80% or 90% of it’s going to the machine and like a small percentage of that maybe gets out to where the need is. So, I started looking at that and I said, you know what? If God speaks to me to sow, that’s different because then, I know I’m sowing to the spirit. I’m not sowing to the emotion or to the presentation. I’m sowing into the anointing.
Annabelle: Right, because like an investment at that point.
Lance: Exactly.
Annabelle: And we name the seed too. Don’t just do it. Just to name the seed. So, you have actual another point of content.
Lance: Another point of content.
Annabelle: We believe God.
Lance: We take the checks. and we write down what that need is and if people are giving like digitally as we also do that. But we still have a point of contact where when a seed gets sown into the spirit, we show of that spirit reap the Zoe life of God. And the life of God comes in the form that you need it. Some people don’t need it physically, they need it emotionally, they need it mentally. Sometimes the reaping that happens I believe this completely. I believe that God’s faithful to givers is such that the Lord extends his intervention even into the affairs of your children and into other things that you might not even see how you’re reaping from the harvest what God’s doing. Because the reaping happens in the way that you need it not always in the way that you expect it.
Annabelle: The other next level thing is that when you’re married and you come together at the agreement of the amounts. Because I remember when we were even younger, we have this little play game in church where you like reveal what the thought the other person thinks that the offering should be here at special meetings and it was fun.
Lance: Yeah, you write down the amount.
Annabelle: What do you get, get anything?
Lance: Yeah, and when you unveil it if you both have the same amount, it helps.
Annabelle: My amount.
Lance: Helps to find your faith. So, Annabelle’s amount was something.
Annabelle: Just hey man.
Lance: Higher than mine.
Annabelle: Yeah, way more in sync lately, that’s good.
Lance: But surprisingly we hit it the same way.
Annabelle: Yeah. But that’s the two becoming one.
Lance: So, here here’s what I want to do. We want to be able to do this thing with the pictures of partners.
Annabelle: Send us your pictures.
Lance: And so, we want to get those pictures. We want to be able to have them so we could see them. And I think we also need to have a way where people can send in and we’re going to work on this. The prayer request or to write in the prayer request, so that we could pray over them. I think there’s somebody at that point of contact.
Annabelle: It’s amazing.
Lance: And I’ve done that like when I’m on the Date Star.
Annabelle: Yeah.
Lance: And they bring them out. Would you pray over these? I always think I am convinced that there’s something that, I mean I sense that there’s a prophetic something rising up to pray for those needs. But I don’t get the satisfaction of hearing the reports coming back to me. Because that’s their prayer list. But with you guys, we could start to get these testimonies. And we’re hearing them all the time. They’re coming in randomly from here and there. But now we’re going to be really intentional. And the reason why I want to do that is because I sense that the period of time that’s coming up. It’s going to be a period of time where there’s going to be greater turmoil and disruption that’s happening in the natural.
Annabelle: Yeah.
Lance: But greater access to the Spirit of God in the supernatural. That’s why the point of contact is more important. And the other thing that the Lord spoke to me and it’s like this stuff has been percolating in me is I listen to brother Copeland. Because we work a lot more with brother Copeland because of Flashpoint. It’s like we’ll be going off tomorrow to the maybe Christian Center. We got like 10,000 people there for a live broadcast, so that broadcast is touching a lot of people. Mario Murillo is going to stay the next night and minister. The tent meetings are expanding. There’s something happening here.
But I heard Brother Copeland say this. He said that every month he handwrites a letter to the partners and that struck me as something that it hit me in my spirit that I what I want to do is I want to be able to write and have you write what the lord is telling us. Because that word that this pastor received about what would happen by Thanksgiving Day was not something which we’ve send out all the time, it was something was specific at that point in time and it’s because the lord was saying it. But I want us to be able on a monthly basis to be able to send to the partners a personal letter that really speaks to what we’re hearing and sensing prophetically God wants to do for them. Because the connection works both ways.
As you’re connecting with us, we’re connecting back with you and we’ll be able to have this kind of like beautiful flow. And if we get a special teaching, something that needs to get out to people, seems to me the prayer partners and the ministry partners are the first fruits, the ones that would be stewarding most conscientiously, a revelation. So, I really want to work with that and I believe with all my heart, the reason why the lord wanted me to do this now is because this next season can be your best season. You could be disengaged from the deceitfulness and cunning of men and the cycles of turbulence out there. Because you’ve got an inside track that’s helping you grow up in the full stature and part of that certainly isn’t everything. I’m only one ministry you’re only one minister…
