Enter the Lance Lab and Transform Your Mind!

Lance: Welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show. Tonight, I am wearing a blue jacket. And I’m wearing that bright blue jacket. Carl because I’m preparing for the summer. I’m preparing. I’m already coming. What is it? Is it April now? 

Carl: It is.

Lance: And I’m getting myself ready for Easter’s going to be coming up soon, right?

Carl: No, Easter just ended.

Lance: Oh, Easter ended.

Carl: Yeah.

Lance: Well anyway it’s that time of year.

Carl: Nice.

Lance: The reason I’m saying is because I feel as though there’s seasons in life. And sometimes you’re a winter season. Sometimes you’re in a spring or summer or an autumn. But this is an interesting time when God is causing dreams to come alive. And I want you guys to catch this feel that is there. And many times, it happens in a period of contradiction. I was listening to an analysis from Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon and Steve Cortez today on the American economic situation. Those guys are always educating. They’re brilliant at what they talk about,but manufacturing is totally down at a historic low. Our energy independence that we have with Donald Trump, full spectrum energy dominance we had has been given away. We shut down the pipeline and so the cost of oil, it’s gone from like $60 for $20 a barrel up with Trump up to like $80 a barrel now, and it’s continuing to go higher. And without energy or with the cost of energy having to go to Saudi Arabia and oddly enough Russia and other countries for energy.

It’s as though we’re Destroying ourself and it creates the economic pressure. Then you start doing more spending like we’ve done which is irresponsible and now you’ve got your energy sector, your manufacturing sector, you’ve got your, you’re flooding the market with cash, you have interest rates rising, inflation going up but you’re seeing jobs shrinking. Well, what’s good about that, Lance? What I’m trying to do is I never lie to you about what’s happening. But the Lord is on the inside of me saying that this is the top when you put to work what you know. It’s the time when you put your faith to work. This is the time when you make when it’s easy for people to succeed in the easy time. But it takes someone that has mastery, discipline, spiritual maturity to prosper in a troubled time. And the Lord was saying to me and I want you to catch this. He said to me, “Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden. And I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you shall find rest for your souls”. Your souls, your mind, your will. your emotions. Your soul is where you store up your history but it’s also where you imagine the future. The rest comes to the soul when your soul is anxious, when your soul is worried, when your soul is troubled it’s not at peace. But Jesus says, ‘Come to me and learn from me I am meek and lowly in heart. I’m gentle lowly in heart”.

The disposition of Jesus is such that we can go to him and not beat ourselves up. Most people run from God. They hide from God the same way you hide from a search light if you’re a criminal. But Jesus says they’ll come to me. But what a beautiful savior this is. He says, “Come to me and find rest for your soul. Especially at a time when the soul can be distressed”. Jesus says, I say to you in Matthew chapter 6:25. “Do not worry about your life. What you’re going to eat, what you’re going to drink, therefore your body, what you’re going to put on. Is life not more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns. Your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not more valued than they? Therefore, do not worry. Do not say what are we going to eat? What are we going to drink? What are we going to wear?” Because your heavenly father knows you need all these things. “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things should be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient under the day is its own trouble”.

This is kind of like a brilliant piece of rabbi teaching for the last days. That Jesus is saying I don’t care what’s going on out there. Do not worry. I don’t care what’s happening up there. Do not be anxious. Find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy. But now he gives an interesting revelation. My yoke. What is the yoke of Jesus? A yoke is in still use today. It’s when an animal or an oxen or a horse or a donkey, is sharing a harness with another animal and typically the more experienced or the stronger one will be on one side and it brings the other one along with it so that they both move together. However, the Bible says, “Don’t be unequally yoked”. Because it’s not fair to have something to have a weaker vessel with a stronger one, because that the stronger one is wear you down or if it’s bigger than you, it’s going to shape on your and cause it to be rubbed raw and bleed. So, an unequal yoke is a cruel yokey. But if you’re equally yoke meaning that you’re compatible in terms of size, but this one has more experience and strength. It kind of helps to strengthen you.

Jesus says, take his anointing on you. He is meek and lowly in heart. The yoke the Bible says is destroyed by the anointing. There’s a yoke destroying or a burden breaking anointing and it’s the yoke of Jesus that breaks all the anxiety off of you. It’s the yoke of Jesus that breaks all the stress off of you. This is why the presence of God is so important and every now and then I remember Carl said to me at a show we did a few weeks ago. He said, ‘Dad, why don’t you play some worship? Play some music, because the show’s more anointed. You’re more anointed when you get into that flow.’ It’s a smart observation, because there’s times when I hit a wall and I say but how do I break out? And the Lord says, “Sing”. And so, the singing, the worship, the song actually helps me to break out.

And the reason why I’m talking about this right now is because the dreams that God gave you have a season for manifestation and I believe this is the season when many dreams are going to be manifest. This is the time when even in the midst of opposition or contradictory circumstances in the natural. The is the time hardly enough when God is saying it’s time to rise up in the spirit in advance. When the Jordan was overflowing its banks, the Lord chose that time of all times for the children of Israel to cross over into their promise land. You would think that you pick a time when you don’t have a flood. God said, no the flood’s a perfect time. Because it’s not by might and not by power, but it’s by my supernatural spirit. So, I want to talk to you about the dream you have. I want to talk to you about the Dream Trip that’s coming up because this is a time when I like to go into the gymnasium.

People, don’t like Tony Robbins. I personally love people that have mastery in any area. I can learn from anyone that’s got their act together and does something well. But I remember hearing Tony, no it wasn’t Tony. It was another friend of mine, Bill McGrain. These guys would say that their programs that they do. They love to do because it puts them back in the gymnasium. Actually, Tony said it and I heard my friend Bill McGrain said, and I started thinking every now and then, I’ve got to go back in to the gymnasium. I have to practice the fundamentals of where we are right now. Remember Kenneth Coleman once saying, when he got involved with a 2-million-dollar debt on his TV ministry and he like soberly looked at how much debt he had owed and where he was. And he said, I had to practice everything I ever taught in order to get out of that bondage of the debt of his growing ministry. He just got himself upended with his television budget. And he said to Gloria, we believe in sowing. We’re going to have to give our way out.

This is the person that’s practicing what he preaches and so you pick where you sow, you pray about it and you pray over the amount and you start to intentionally put that seed in the soil and believe God for it to supernaturally produce the increase. He said, man, he had to go back and practice everything when he started. He’d be given a necktie. He’d be given a jacket. He sold what God told him to and gradually he began to get in the rhythm of supernatural increase. Then when the time came for him to have to deal with the crisis he had to get back to basics. Well,going back to the gymnasium for me is what a Dream Trip is. It’s when we take the material that we have in our four customized bonded. They’re leather editions but they’re the most advanced edition. I’ve got basically 20 years’ worth of some powerful life changing training that I’ve done in these corporate places and seminars and places and go back and say, wait a second, I’ve learned a lot I’ve taught a lot. But am I practicing what Jesus has shown me? That’s when we do the Dream Trip. I get back in the gymnasium myself and we get back in. So, it’s the most rawpowerful kind of uh training that’s possible.

Now Carl you’ve been doing some training programs yourself. I think um perhaps of all my children, you have picked up more on the love of lifelong learning and finding mentors and people that have Mastery and learning from them. Talk to us for a minute about what you’ve learned about training that transforms, the most transformative training principles, ideas,disciplines, the practices that you’ve observed and the people you’ve studied, that are producing results?

Carl: Transformative training that I’ve come across and that I’ve learned about and that I’ve experienced. One of them, one of the best transformative agents is full immersion in whatever it is that you’re doing. So, with flow science for instance, it’s complete immersion in whatever the task is. So, so much so that you’re not thinking about how hungry you are or thirsty or a program that you want to watch later or you’re not maybe thinking about your parents or your children or any of that stuff. You’re just focused on what’s in front of you and you’re getting that real-time feedback, so you know that the things that you’re doing are actually having an impact on the thing that you’re working on. So, having an immersive experience is one of the best ways to bolster the possibility of having a transformative experience.

Likewise, having a community that follows up with you after an event to make sure that everything is so fresh and that you’re engaged with this new process and the new you that you want to be. The new identity that you’ve assigned for yourself and that you’ve you’re trying to embody. Having that community helps bolster the possibility of that new you continuing on moving forward.

Lance: So, I’m hearing two things which are really absolutely true. I resonate with them. Immersion experience means you’ve got to give yourself a 100% to being in the experience. That’s why I get people that don’t do the programs like the weekends like these weekends. So,you can go to a meeting we’ll do. For instance, Mario Murillo and I will do Fire and Glory. I’m not going to be able to get together with people there. They’re not going to be immersed and they’ll be immersed in the meetings. We have a morning, afternoon evening, but I can’t hang out with them because there’s too many people. It’s 5,000 people and so it’s impossible to get a quality time. But on a Dream Trip, we do like maybe a 100, 200, 300 people. And that allows us to have me to have an immersion in the Gideon Army. That group, I can immerse myself. I can get a sense of who they are and what they need to hear and that for your part, it’s getting into a place where you have no distractions.

People can get a link. We always sell links to these programs and I’m convinced that the experience of a person who’s distracted at home watching it on its screen and the phone rings, they get up and answer the door. That those interruptions actually rob the experience when you’re in the place where you’re immersed in the training. Well, apostle Paul said, “No soldier that is engaged in serving the person who enlisted him is also engaged in civilian pursuits”. In other words, your civilian pursuits don’t happen in the middle of a war. You don’t stop in the middle of a shoot out and say, I got to write a birthday card here to make a phone call.

Carl: Hopefully not.

Lance: Hopefully not but the other part that you said that I think is very important is the relationships.

Carl: Yeah, having a community around you of like-minded individuals ideally who have also gone through this transformative experience to help hold you accountable to the new norms that you set for yourself. As well as help you sustain the motivation through the contradictions that will inevitably come up. One thing I do want to touch on though is that there are some people who just don’t have the ability to travel to Carlsbad. No judgement, but what we are saying is if you’re signing up for the online experience, bar your time from other activities during that time, during the online experience. Because you want to be immersed in it. You want to treat it as if you are there and so you want to respect the commitment to being there. You don’t want to have your cellphone going off you don’t want to have your animals coming in interrupting you. Set aside yourself in that time so that way you can be immersed in the process.

Lance: And I think that it’s probably a good time right now to take one of the modules we’re going to be talking about in the next, we got like 10 minutes left. By the way, if you want to get involved with this is things filling up. How do they do that, Carl? They go to?

Carl: Is it Extreme Dream Trip or “Lancewalllnau.com/DreamTrip” to join us?

Lance: “Lancewallnau.com/DreamTrip”. June 20th to 22nd.

Carl: Yes sir.

Lance: June 20 and 20, 21, 22. 3 days. Because I want you to see the transformative experience. When I talk about transformation actually I know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about an identity shift. An identity shift. And I’m realize I’m talking this microphone but I believe I’m using this microphone, right?

Carl: I think we got multi-channel recordings right now but yes, you do have the lab on. Yes, sir.

Lance: One of the things I want to say, we got 13 minutes. I want to talk to you about breaking generational patterns and generational curses. This is part of what we’re going to do. I would hear Chuck Pierce talk about the blood of Jesus wants to transform. He was talking about your DNA. It didn’t make any sense to me at the time, but he was talking about changing the DNA of your bloodline and it still is a vague language. But I get he’s a credible prophet, so but what he’s talking about for me is generational patterns and it’s a bit of a mystery but some friends of mine and I have been talking about how the parents can actually set up a dynamic that influences the children. When the parents change, something actually shifts in the environment that affects the children. It’s kind of a powerful idea when you consider that that generation history. I mean look at this.

If you were going, if you when you were 16 years old you had an automobile accident and your nose got broken. Today your nose is broken. It’s you did didn’t happen now but you can see the history of a broken nose. It happened when you were 16. Well, you can have injuries to your soul that were earlier in life that are still having an effect on you. But you can have injuries in a strange way. Things that are affecting you that come from previous generations and you’re not fully aware of it. So, if you have a generational pattern of scarcity, a fear of scarcity, a fear of lack, a fear of insufficiency and that’s put into you from your parents. My parents went through the Great Depression. They would talk about it. My children have not had, Annabelle and me talk about the Great Depression. But I can remember my parents discussing with me, the Great Depression. It had a scarring influence on them.

But I’m also convinced that the scarcity and the anxiety of poverty had its also its kind of impact on me because when I went into ministry, I had a fear of poverty because I didn’t have a revelation of prosperity. But I love Jesus enough so that I said, if the Lord doesn’t want me to have anything, that’s fine. I’ll just be like the missionaries or whatever. But a prophet spoke to me and the word of the lord really broke something off me because I had this generational anxiety about the Great Depression and I heard it enough. So, it triggered me something that resonated with my own parents on it, and the word the lord had to come to me to say that the devil said I’m going to make you poor, but the Lord says, he’s going to break that off of you. And you’re going to be a somebody with resources and God‘s going to flow through you in abundance. I’m going to make you rich and not poor and you’re going to be a source of a provision for others and I’m thinking about it.

I don’t even know how we did it, but we fully furnished with your mom’s ministry close to 500 single mothers that had no furniture for their children. The entire apartments were completely furnished by her ministry. So, we have this storehouse ministry, where we could literally have God give us the resources to go through us to bless other people. That can happen if you don’t break the cycle that causes you to have authorized agreement with insufficiency so if you have agreement with lack it’s going to be hard for you to become a surplus source. So, I had to something about that deliverance and I want to go over to the board and go there. But listen, I got nine minutes to do this but I want to come back to you Carl on this one question. With thematerial that we’re talking about, what is one way that a person can help to establish a benchmark for a new identity or start to upgrade their identity to fall into agreement with who they really are capable of being and stop the habit of association with their own personal history? What’s the way that that can happen?

Carl: Okay, a couple things earlier you brought up the distinction between nature versus nurture as it relates to generational curses and so I just want speak to that really quickly. Yes, absolutely there is a nurturing aspect if parents have emotional baggage and they don’t address it then they’re going to carry that baggage over to their children’s lives. So, they’re going to nurture their children in a way that reflects what that baggage is. Doctor Caroline Leaf has some very interesting research on DNA and the actual nature of generational curses and there is a Bible passage. I can’t remember where it’s located but it talks about, I think through the fourth generation there are curses. So, four lineages down and the scientific literature reflects that oddly enough that there are actually biological predispositions so far down the biological chain that can be observed and it can be broken based on what the parents are doing in order to fix it or in order to alter it.

Now to your question about how people can have different benchmarks or how they can fundamentally shift their identity. One of the best things for me that comes to mind is you cannot heal in the same environment that got sick in. So, if you are struggling with something and you know that something needs to change, the environment is one of the things that actually needs to be addressed. So, that’s one thing that can change that people can alter almost immediately and I’m not saying that people can afford to just get up and uproot their lives and move to a new location, but they can change the books they read, the shows they watch, the things that they’re allowing to impact who they currently are. So, that’s one thing that they can immediately change and that will ultimately the trajectory of their life.

Lance: I couldn’t agree more and the thing that I want to emphasize is, there’s not an area of your life that can’t be renewed and transformed by the power of the word of God and the power of the holy spirit. There’s no doubt about that. The question is, to what degree are you aware of the areas that you need to have your mind renewed by the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Carl: Yup.

Lance: Because a lot of what happens operates in the area of a blind spot. A blind spot could be SIs like according to Daniel Goldman and some other EQ writers and researchers. 30, 40 if you can have a 30% blind spot, which means there’s things about you that you’re not aware of that you need to become aware of, you could say that all really important personal growth is happening in an area that you’re not fully aware of. Because you were fully aware of it you wouldn’t keep doing it. So yes, that blind spot is something which we want to shrink and so that where having some tools and feedback can be very helpful. I’m going to go over here to the board and show you a little bit of how this works.

So, let’s take a look at in terms of like our, the blind spot there’s listen this goes back to like the Johari window. Go look up the Johari window for me for a second. Because what I want to look a focus on here is the blind spot and I want to do the open arena. Closed, and the hidden potential. Now watch this. This is kind of powerful. These are four windows that everybody has and when you’re with other people if you want to talk about increasing the degree of depth of relationship where you really get to, but what I want to find out is the closed arena up here is it down here?

Carl: It’s the other way around.

Lance: It’s the other way around, right.

Carl: Yeah, because the top left is known to self and then known to others. The very first column is known to self, that’s the open area or the open arena and under that is the hidden area or the façade. But you’re doing good.

Lance: So, this appears the open arena.

Carl: Yep. Ooh that’s light. I like that.

Lance: And this is closed.

Carl: Hidden. Yes.

Lance: Or hidden. Now catch this. This is powerful stuff people. Alright so and the thing that is common in here is known to self, right?

Carl: Yes sir.

Lance: Known to self. You know for instance; you know to what degree you are open and without revealing confidence is sometimes we have friends that are couples. And couples you know you’re with them and it’s everything’s great. Everything’s great. Everything’s great. Next thing you know you find out well they’re not together. Well, we’re just or dinner last night. What happened? Well, there were other stuff going on. So, what you find out is people will share with you a certain amount. They’ll share with you a certain amount, but if you have a high level of trust, they will take that arena, they’ll take that open area and they’ll see the closed area here, they’ll actually expand it and they’ll expand it probably should go like this with blue pen. They expand it and they’ll expand it. Oh, they’ll go down to here maybe and they’ll reveal more about what they really think and what they really feel.

Now, this is a kind of powerful thing. When you want to talk about who your best friends are, I encourage you to think about this. Your most intimate friends, your most powerful relationships are the people who you have the greatest degree of self-disclosure. The friends that you know, for instance, Carl, your buddies in the band, you’ll be closer with some than others. But I can almost assure you, the ones that you’re closest to are the ones you trust the most. And why trust them? Because you practice self-disclosure, know what’s known to you, what you struggle with, what you wrestle with. This is why those relationships Carl’s talking about are so powerful, but this is also why in the church, when we talk about the ecclesia. I’m going to go with this pen over here. When we talk about the ecclesia or the church, that’s what the word for church is.

I tell you, we don’t have the depth of relationship we need, because a lot of people aren’t open and willing to open up the full story of what they’re going through struggling with needing or want. Because to do so, you have to trust the other person not to take advantage of that disclosure not to hurt you and not to abuse you not to expose you. It’s really the creepiest person in the world is a person that betrays the trust of a friend in order to profit. There it ain’t nothing lower,that’s a Judas basically and then it happens. But if you have a relationship with someone else and watch how this works. They also have an open arena and the way that can build trust with other people. Catch this, is you yourself open up more or you drop your own mask and take a chance and reveal what do you really think about something, how do you really feel about something and be open to their feedback. If we could get couples to do this, we would have a lot more saved marriages and a lot better relationships because you could deal with, I’m concerned about this or I’m feeling uncomfortable about that and instead of worrying about I can’t share that, you Share it.

Now, this is real Christianity 101. But something else happens here and I want you to see this and I’m losing the time here. So, I don’t want to get away from myself, but I’m going to go to, I don’t know if this green pen works.

Carl: Yeah, go green.

Lance: No, no, no, Carl. I’m going to go yellow.

Carl: Rebellion.

Lance: I’m opening these pens up with the greatest who care. We have a thing called you the blind spot. So, Carl was saying, what about a blind spot? Well, let’s say that you know, like Let’s say that you’re talking but when you’re opening up and you’re doing this self-disclosure, as you open up yourself, you expose, right? You open up areas here where people could possibly be able to let’s just say, you have an area that if this is known to you, then this area here is not known to sub. It’s hidden.

Carl: It’s not known to you but the first row is known to others.

Lance: Right. So, watch this, not known to you who here, this is area here. Which is your hidden potential and the blind spot but other people can see it. So therefore, if you’re willing to be open and trust people here, they can speak to a blind spot. A blind spot is something that the devil knows about you, that other people know about you, your family probably knows about you but you don’t know about you and until you know it about you, it’s a blind spot.

Now, if you know about it and don’t want to change it, it’s no longer a blind spot. It’s part of your personal history, but what I’m trying to get you to see is to grow, we have to have open relationships where there’s trust and people can share freely what they think and what they feel to learn from each other. It’s where you’re open to feedback to a blind spot. And as that opening of relationship happens, something powerful takes place. All of the blind spot becomes more exposed and the hidden potential also becomes more exposed. As you’re open because the blind spot can also speak to hidden potential. So, for instance, a blind spot isn’t just a negative. It could be that you don’t appreciate how gifted you are at something. There again, the beauty of the body of Christ is people could say, you have a lovely voice. You should sing more. Oh, really? I think so absolutely or you should really cook more. Are delicious. Oh, you think so? It’s the body of Christ is kind of unique in the sense that by ministering to one another by giving feedback to one another, we can actually increase Christ in our life. We can become more of our fully authentic, whole, and healed selves.

Now, I know this this board looks a little complicated here with all this information. What I’m saying is we need high-trust relationships where we get exposed what we think or we feel. We need to open up this arena so that we have self-disclosure so that we can be trusting to receive feedback in a blind spot. It could be a positive factor, something you need affirmed that you’ve never thought of before or it could be a negative area in your life that you need to have awareness of. So, for instance, any strength, what’s the saying we have on strengths, Carl? Any strength over extended?

Carl: Becomes a weakness.

Lance: Any strength over extended becomes a weakness. So, if your strength is my case, talking, communicating. Do you think there’s a time when that strength can become a weakness? Yes. So, I once had a friend of mine give me some feedback. He said, have you noticed it when you’re out with your wife that you tend to dominate the conversation when you’re with other couples. Well, I was a blind spot because I do it by nature. I talk a lot. And they said, but your wife has something to say and something to share and she’s so bubbly and so enjoyable. Why don’t you let her have some oxygen in the conversation? The language was so piercing. Oxygen of suffocating her. Yes.

So, you see sometimes a person who is a natural leader can be so strong. They lead and make the decisions for everyone and what do they produce? Children and organizations that are weak because they never exercise decision making authority and develop the muscle of making choices and learning from mistakes because you did it for them. You made all the choices. So, they’re uncertain, insecure about what to do when they get older. Any strength. So, we need to have feedback on the blind spots because that unlocks our actual potential. Any thoughts on that Carl as we’re wrapping this up?

Carl: No, I think that’s a great way to visually display a rather complex theory. It’s a good job.

Lance: Relationships that are willing to talk to you, that are there for you and not to manipulate you. Your willingness to open up and share what you’re thinking and feeling and the things you’re struggling with, the constraints you’ve got so that you can have feedback on the undeveloped areas, the blind spot of your potential that you need to have affirmed, and maybe the behavior that’s getting in the way of the results you really want. That’s how you unlock your hidden potential. Jesus wants to have this whole zone flooded with light. That doesn’t mean you share with everybody everything you think. That’s unwise, but it means that when you want to have relationship, intimacy, agreement, communion, transformative community, you practice meaningful self-disclosure. What are we going to have that dream trip, Carl? Because we’re going to be doing this with 200 people for 3 days.
