Intro: The Lance Wallnau Show is coming at you live from the master himself with a special broadcast taken from one of Lance’s most recent appearances. Tune in and get ready for some major revelation.
Lance: Some of you I know you’re visiting; you’re looking for a place to go. Maybe you are the place. Maybe you hook up to a house like this to have relationship but maybe where you are is where God wants to show up. Does that make sense to you? Father, I pray right now in the name of Jesus that you are a move the lid that is on our eyes that veils us to seeing your move and your glory. I thank you for the ark of God the glory of God the majesty of God that is in the midst of the tent. The ark is you, lord. It’s your presence. It’s Jesus. It’s Jesus. And I thought about that. I said, the ark, the ark.
In history, the ark was in the hands of the Israelites and when they came up against the Philistines, the Philistines were at war with them, there was a great shout that rose up. The Philistines said, ‘What was that?’ And it was because the ark had come into the camp of the Israelites and when the Israelites saw the ark, they said, ‘Now, we’ve got the supernatural power of God’. The only problem was, they had a shout but like I told the pastor earlier, they had a shout without clout. The Israelites had the shout but they weren’t walking in alignment with the ark. And so, they showed it and the Philistines feared. They said, oh my God that’s there. God is walking among them. We’ll be wiped out if we don’t win this and they won that battle and sure enough, have any of you seen battles? I’m telling you; I’ve seen battles in this nation. Election battles and other battles where I’m going, why are we winning?
I think the Lord’s trying to talk to us. And so, you don’t win just because you wag my name around or have Zoom prayer calls. You win when there’s a sufficient number of you in alignment with me so that my glory can be reinforced by your obedience. If you want to shout with clout, it doesn’t come just because you’re a Christian. It comes because you’re aligned with what God is telling you to do. Make sense?
So, what happens after that? The Philistines have the ark. Do you know the story? It doesn’t work for them. They bring it into their tent and they’ve got their God called Dagon is in the tent and the next day when they go into their tent, their idol boom is on its face in front of the ark. Oh, they’re a little disturbed by that. This never happened before. The ark is secure on its foundation. We’re supposed to be knocking over the next day after they prop up their idol God they go in and they’re horrified. Not only is their idol on its face but it’s got its head and its hands decapitated.Now, what do you think was happening in the spirit realm when that happened? I’ll tell you clearly what was happening? There’s a spirit realm at war just as the natural realm and the idol of the Philistines when it was propped up, God said, nope and the angels of the lord and executed judgement on the head and on the hands of the idol. Because God‘s glory isn’t in competition with the devil. It judges the devil. It’s the devil’s mistake if he ever touches the glory of God. So,the Philistines sent that ark back to the Jews.
And when it came back David said, ‘As he defeated them in battle. As he saw the glory of Godon his administration’. He said, ‘I got to get that ark. I want to bring that ark into my domain. I want the blessing of God.’ And you know what he did. You know the story but I’m telling you there’s a revelation in this. David gets a cart. A brand-new cart with oxen and it’s got a secure cabin in it and he puts the ark on the inside of the cabin and he puts a driver in charge of the ark and they go along with the oxen, and suddenly the oxen hit a patch of ground where they start to stumble and the ark starts to wobble and the driver reaches out to steady the ark and as soon as he done, a million volts of electricity comes out and he falls down dead.
Now, this is happening in the middle of a praise and worship service. They’re all sing and dancing and celebrating. All of a sudden, a hush comes over the crowd and David comes up. He backs up. What happened to Uzza? And then David, the Bible says, became angry. He became confused and he started to fear God in a different way. He realized God wasn’t the familiar buddy you pal around within the worship service. God is an awesome power that is to be respected and like electricity, mishandle it and it can kill you. So, David backed up and he says, ‘I can’t bring that into my house. My God whatever happened to him could happen to me.’ He was confused. He was seeing another side of God he never saw before.
So, the ark went into a guy’s house and this is very profound. It went into the house of one of the workers, one of the Levites named Obedidom. For 3 months, for 3 months, the ark was in this guy’s house. He had daughters, it says. He had and somehow the crops on his property in 3months multiplied 2, 3, 4 times. The cattle that he had on his property suddenly were hyper breeding and multiplying. His daughters were becoming more beautiful and radiant every day. And everybody noticed everything that was on that property. Everything that was on that house. Everything attached to it. Had the conspicuous benediction, blessing, and supernatural touch of God on it.
David looked at it and said, ‘My God look at him. That ark is producing all of that. Figure out what we did wrong. I’m getting that arc for me. I’m the king not him.’ And so, the Bible says to be very interesting. It says that David required his elders to investigate what they did wrong and they found something out. Their mistake was that I pray to God I’m not pushing this metaphor too far. But I can’t help it because of my heart and burden for America and the world right now. Their mistake was they thought they could put the of God‘s government on their own platform with their own vessel and their own vehicle to bring it in. And the elder says, Boss, we made a mistake. When you told us to go get the ark, we should have done a better job.
The word is due order. There is a due order. There is a divine sequence to doing this and if you do it wrong, it blows up. This ark can never be put on anything a human being makes. The ark is designed to be carried on the shoulders of God‘s people. The ark can only be carried on the salt shoulders of Levites. Pulls go into the ark. Human hands must never touch it. You must not touch the Glory of God. When you hear Mario say and he says it almost like it’s not a religious thing but I mean I’m thinking why is he making such a big deal about it. But I understand he’s saying,folks do not say what’s about to happen as me because you see he sees three or four words of knowledge for a person is supernatural. Now we’re walking in the miracles happening right in front of us.
When he gets that he knows the temptation is to associate him with what’s happening and so he puts a disclaimer to say, my hand is not touching this right now. This is God doing this. I’m just merely open right now. I’m as carnal or as spiritual as any of you, but I’m hearing God right now. I’m doing what he’s showing me. And as he is doing it, let your eyes be on him. Don’t you dare put my hand on that ark. I don’t want to die.
So, David says, because you didn’t do it right, Uzza died and I lost three months of blessing. So, go get the Levites. Now, what does it mean for us? When I look at our problems in America, let me just now politicize it. When I look at our woes in America, we have a party at least, a party platform made of human beings but at least they have life and they have marriage and they have religious freedom and they won’t come and shut you down and pull and they won’t terrorize you with FBI agents because you want your children taught right stuff and not educated by Drag Queen. So, there are party differences. Make no mistake about it but you see, we want to see God‘s revival, glory, and restoration for America will never come on a political platform that still is an ox cart.
If you want to see God save America, God‘s going to have to show up on your soft shoulders. Meaning, your humanity carries the pole, the poles go through and carry the glory. You yourself become the shoulders of the presence of God. God on the inside of you wants to be the ark and you are the priest that carries his glory. Does that make sense to you? And it’s not you. It’s him in you. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Christ in you. You in Christ is your hope of salvation. Not your track record. Not your performance. You don’t get a report card at the end of your life the way that the unsaved people think it works and if he did more good deeds and bad deeds, he get to heaven. Anyhow it works. You get his report card, he took the SATs for you, he scored perfectly, that’s it.
So, Lord here’s my prayers. I’m sweating up here in this glorious tent. And I like it. I like the fact that I’m sweating up here. It’s okay if it’s not comfortable to have God show up. There should be a little something that it causes. We’ve got so accustomed to soft seats, air-conditioned rooms, and warm pews. I think this is probably what’s hurting us more than anything else. The due order. What is the due order in your life? I believe God is speaking to every one of us about something he wants to have put in proper order. Listen to me, now I’m meddling with you. Hit your neighbor and say he’s talking to you now. Holy Spirit wants you to carry the glory of his presence because it’s probably this is one other layer to this revelation I’ll get later tonight and that is that you actually are the body of Christ.
You are the ark of God walking on the soft shoulders of Levites. Human feet but divine glory. You are the ark wherever you go. You have access to the supernatural power of God. If you got your eyes off of you, you might begin to act resources on the inside of you they don’t even know you’ve got. I’ve had people come up to me, because I did accurately predict what Donald Trump was going to do and I did get the word that it would be a modern-day Cyrus. I have seen these things but I hide behind a microphone and a podcast because I don’t like what happens to prophets. In our culture, if people know you’re a prophet, they don’t want to hear what you have to say, they want to get a word from you for themselves, because human beings are so selfish.
All they can do is think about me, me, me, me, and they come and they say, would you pray for me and boom then they got the little microphone out ready for a word. They’re lying to you. They don’t prayer, they want a prophecy. But we’re so used to giving them what they want that people run around with. I don’t forget one time I was pastoring. I had Robert Slaridon coming to my church when he was a young wonderful obnoxious young man and I had this binder of prophecies. Because prophecy saved my life. Prophecy changed my life. Prophecy is real. 40 years ago, there’s a man here right now. Dennis Myron, put your hand up. This was my first real pastor in my life. That man put me before prophets when I was a businessman. Because God told him I was lost in the work world and then I was called to ministry. He pulled me out of an audience and 40 years ago, Because of him, I’m on the platform now. Because he believed enough in the prophets.
He believed enough in me to have a and so I believe in prophecy but I’m going to tell you something. God‘s desire is that he wants to raise this thing higher than it is right now. We’ve got our YouTube prophets we go to. We have all of our little favorite prophets that are all little Nostradamus’s predicting frequently and accurately what’s going to happen next. And yet what God says is, I’m going to restore to you. I’m going to pour out my spirit and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Old men will have a prophetic in the dreams they have. Young men will have it in the open visions. Listen, we’re called to be a prophetic community in the last days but what is the nature of that prophecy? It’s the ability to see God‘s perspective on human events. We’re going to have heaven’s perspective on what’s happening in the world.

Lance: So, the ark is here in the midst of us right now and I said to the Lord I said, the ark the ark I want to bring this back to Jesus the lord said bring it to Jesus and end it. Do you know when Jesus was born, Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love this time of year. When Jesus was born, the kings came to him with gold and frankincense and myrrh. I want you to think about that. If Jesus was in that manger and if he was not God what these people did was pure idolatry and cursed. If you were to bring gold or frankincense and myrrh to a person, it was idolatry. The only one you could bring those gifts to would be God himself. Jesus in the manger was the ark in the human tent. And they were not rebuked. They were blessed and Herod wanted to find out where that glory was.
The political system, whether it’s in China or the United States or whether it’s in South America, that marks his spirit. This is why I got frustrated Christians that don’t understand the interweaving of the world around them to the spirit realm you’re in. You’re all of it spiritual. Government is spiritual. Media is spiritual. Business is spiritual. God isn’t just the God of your church mouth and he’s the God of the whole earth and Spirits hover around that glory and they want to kill it. That’s why they’ll take a guy like me watch for one trip up. They’ll misrepresent me for one moment. When? Not here today. You won’t see 3 million people on Twitter talking about what I’m saying. Because I’m on church property. Let me walk over to the political arena and say anything and they freak out. Well, let them freak out.
The ark is right now coming back to the church. The glory of God‘s coming is going to come. He carried on the soft shoulders of Levites and I don’t care what your track record has been. Stop thinking about yourself. Stop obsessing with your past, your present, or your future. You want to know the best way to fulfill prophecy? Obey the next thing God tells you because there’s nothing worse than having a binder full of prophecy you don’t fulfill. That was my Roberts Slaridonstory. I go up to Roberts and I said, ‘Brother Roberts, got my microphone with me.’ I said, ‘Look at all these words the lord gave. I got all these words. We got words for the church words for me. We just every minister that comes in, we haven’t prophesied. Do you have a word for us? Looks at that big thick binder prophecies.’ He steps back. He says, ‘I have a word for you.’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Burn your prophecies. I clutched into my breast like a child.’ I said, ‘Sacrilege, blasphemy.’ ‘Burn your prophecies. The Holy Spirit said, he’s saying you’re out of balance. You’re living by prophecy instead of living by obedience.’
Prophecy will never be a substitute for obedience but if you’re obedient, you’ll fulfill your prophecy. Our prophecy should not be an obsession about what am I going to do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Where am I going to see? Am I going to do this? What am I going to do? Me, me, me, me, me. It just feeds the narcissism that’s natural to us. What you really want to know is who is the lord going to use you to touch and what giant is he using you to take down. Your gifts aren’t meant for you, they’re meant for someone else. You want to come fully alive? Start being a channel for God to flow through you. Make yourself available. Does this make sense to you? This is teaching, folks. It’s a called 5-fold teacher.
Now, father, I thank you that today, we will find a shout that has clout. We’re going to find out how to have the due order in our life. Oh yes, the Holy Spirit reminds me. He was talking to you about something. There’s something in your life. You don’t have to worry about half a dozen things. That’s the devil. There’s one thing God wants you to set right. I’ll tell you the one thing that really helped me.
I have a friend of mine that I meet with. He’s a rich man but actually I just like being with him because when I’m with him, the anointing shows up. And we open the Bible and he loves the word. I’m with him and my friends are always saying to me, ‘Hey, he funds all these different things. Why don’t you ever ask him for anything?’ I said, ‘Well, the Lord doesn’t want me to ask him for anything.’ He’s got an organization of like 200 business guys. They’re all like multiple like 25 million plus people. They’re all wanting to change the world and so I got plugged into them and I’m going to do this training all this weekends. Everyone else gets paid. I’d say, people, big preachers come through but every time I go, they say, ‘Well, what do you want us to give you? What do you need?’ The Lord won’t let me ask; you understand? I’m 20% Ashkenazi Jew. This isn’t easy.
But I’m with my friend one day and he says, ‘You know what? The honorable voice of God is how come I made half a billion dollars. The Lord told me, I was looking at these investments and I heard the audible voice of God say, that’s it.’ A guy was talking about something. I said, see what you just said and he said to not that and he said, then he repeated himself and when he repeated it, that’s it. He heard the lord. I said, ‘You’re telling me that the wealth that you have is largely because God‘s honorable voice spoke to you?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Wow. That’s my kind of Pentecostal.’ I said, ‘Well, what is your overall revelation on life?’ He said, ‘It’s simple.’He said, ‘Everybody talks about balance. I do not believe in balance. I don’t think you’re supposed to live a balanced life. I think balance makes you confused.’ He said, ‘I believe you should be 100% all in on what God‘s got you doing right now but there are priorities.’
So, the first priority is him. He doesn’t like to have any other God before him. He’s a jealous lover. Things aren’t going to work until he’s priority number one. Make sure all of you have him as priority number one or that’s the issue God has. What’s keeping him from being priority number one. He said, ‘After that, your spouse.’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Oh yeah, your wife and your children.’ Because Obedidum’s house and family was where God showed up first and then he went to the church. Did you hear what I said? Obedidom’s blessing was in the house and on his children, his wife and kids and then it showed up in the temple. So, he said, ‘It’s God, it’s the wife and children, then, it’s the work that I’m assigned, and then it’s the ministry or church.’ He said, ‘If you ever get those priorities out of whack, your life’s out of whack.’
That really bothered me because I’ll be honest with you. I never thought of it that way. So, I got convicted the more I thought about it. One day, we came back from a retreat. I was training all these business guys and he slaps his hand down the table, the roadside restaurant we were at. I came went to the bathroom I came back. He looked at me in desperation. He said, ‘You’ve got to let me do something for you.’ And I said, ‘You know what? Alright, I thought of my wife. I didn’t think about my ministry. I’m thinking about my bills. Didn’t think about I want to do television TV and I got a lot of work. I got a lot of holy ghost work. I got to do cost money to do this tent and I’m partnering with Mario for all of these.’ So, I said, ‘Brother, you got to help me out. My wife’s got a ministry. It’s costing me. I told my 40,000 a month.’ He stared at me and said, ‘Well, I don’t know if I can help you that much.’ I said, ‘No, no, no, no. I don’t mean that. I said, I just need, I need you to help me carry the burden because I’m realizing, it’s a costly ministry.’
How did she end up with that ministry? Because she had a heart for children that don’t have beds and single mothers that struggle with poverty like some of the gals that’ll come out of a program here. They get in their first apartment. They get on this. Well, it needs to be furnished. It needs to have a bed. Where does that come from? She furnishes families that don’t have anything. So, I’m looking at them and I said, Look, she’s there like a thousand beds so far or more? Children that are sleeping on the floor, she puts a bed and a mattress under them. The problem was all of this stuff was showing up in my living room. It was like the blessing of obedience. She had a heart and all of a sudden, the universe starts supplying everything she needs. It’s not money, it’s stuff and it’s showing up in my house. There were no checks attached to the mattresses, just lots of mattresses, beddings, cushions, and pillows.
One day, I was at home working and I went to the front door and it’s like 30 Amazon drop offs. I’m picking up. I started piling it up. I recreated the Alamo right in my house. I said, ‘This has got to stop.’ She goes, ‘Okay, okay, okay, we’re going to get a storage unit. We got a storage unit. Then, we got another storage unit. Stuff keeps coming in.’ We got another guy like, how many? We’re 7 storage units, a 26-foot moving truck and a team. Anyway, so I’m saying, ‘Brother, you got to help me, because I’m funding my wife’s compassion and she wants to save the whole world. One family at a time in Dallas, Texas.’ He says, ‘Alright.’ He said, ‘I’m going to give you $20,000 a month.’ $20,000 a month and it came out of the fact that the lord had to give me the right priority. I went back to him later. I said, ‘You know, I really, I got so much stuff I got to do in my ministry.’ He said, ‘No, no, no, no. You did it in the right order. The due order.’ It’s Godthen it’s your house. Then, it’s the thing you’re assigned to do, then you got the church. If you’re in ministry, your work is your house. Your work is your ministry. Your ministry is your work.
So, here’s what I’m praying for you right now. Father I pray. The due order will show up. And if you’ll do the due order, you won’t lack anything. You won’t lack the finances you need. Because I’m just starting to see the blessings of God flow. I don’t lack. I don’t lack for finances but this philosophy of life actually works. I can start to believe God for bigger things because I see if I make the space God will fill it with what is needed. But for you I believe the fire wants to come down this week upon your life and that the status quo can be interrupted. Whatever stagnation is in your life can be burned up. Whatever stuck place you’re at is going to get unstuck because it isn’t about you. It’s about the introduction of something new and it’s called the anointing. Godwants to release a greater glory out of the ark that you’re carrying on the inside. You are the Levite. Your feet carry something. And the glory in that ark will see you through. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
