This 2023 Prophetic Vision and Spiritual Awakening Is Exactly What You Need

Lance: I really want to start this year off right; I’m telling you I’m making it my intention to have the best year of my life. And it’s going to happen, because this broadcast is dedicated to giving you information you don’t normally get in the spirit of faith and prophetic exuberance. But first,my guest host would be Mercedes Sparks has, what’s on your desk by the way?

Mercedes: What do you mean? I got a lot on my pillows.

Lance: Alright, what’s that all about?

Mercedes: Well, we thought we haven’t really talked about Mike while so.

Lance: But I didn’t I didn’t know he does pillows like that.

Mercedes: These are the travel pillows. So, it’s great to bring on the plane with you. You can take a nap. Or sometimes when Lance doesn’t call on me for like 20 minutes, I’ll grab my mad pillow and I’ll just take a quick little nap. I’ll just rest my head while I listen to you on the podcast.

Lance: You mean I’m putting you to sleep. Is that what you’re trying to tell me?

Mercedes: No, no I think.

Lance: But take the camera off of her. Put it on me. Let me show you guys what I’m talking about.

Mercedes: Just joking.

Lance: I got Mike Slippers. I heard someone in my studio tell me their girlfriend delivered a baby wearing Michael Lindell slippers and they were so comfortable. I wear this inside and outside. The four-ply special conditioning with the faux fur on the inside, and strong and hearty.I actually have pairs for the studio. I have pairs at home, frankly last Christmas I bought a pair for everyone in my family. Problem was everybody is in a size 8. Who knew? Okay, so I’ve got but I love this one, the trauma pillows for your kids. Like who likes to have on the giant shark swallowing the guy. Imagine that this is for your children.

Mercedes: Why do you call them trauma pillows? You mean it’s just a traumatic Bible story?

Lance: Because it’s a very I mean who because it’s a hilarious thing that Christians would think this would help put their child to sleep at night telling them a story about how the whales swallowed the disobedient little boy.

Mercedes: This one’s nice though.

Lance: This one’s Pinocchio.

Mercedes: This one’s Noah where God‘s, here you know.

Lance: A nice one. Yeah, I would recommend. Yeah, I recommend.

Mercedes: And baby Jesus.

Lance: The baby Jesus ones.

Mercedes: Unlike [INAUDIBLE WORD 01:55]

Lance: The Story of baby Jesus.

Mercedes: Okay.

Lance: Even on the back.

Mercedes: Where can they get these Lance?

Lance: And one more. I’m almost done. I’m also talking about Chelsea likes this one for the dogs. Evidently, it’s a dog pillow.

Mercedes: It’s a dog bed.

Lance: What’s the difference between a dog pillow and a person pillow?

Mercedes: It’s a dog bed. So, the whole dog’s going to lay on that bed.

Lance: Either side.

Mercedes: Either side. That’s right.

Lance: Once you go to my pillow, use code promo code “Lance”. You’re going to help out Mike and I tell you what, you’re going to love Mike’s products. I’m serious.

I’ve got because I buy stuff in the wrong size. I got the medium and the large and I’m telling you something. The weight of those bathrobes. I’m talking about the weight of the bathrobe. It’s substantial. They got to be the best bathrobes in the world. Love you people. That’s why I promote this. “Mypillow.com” and use promo code “Lance”. Get like 30, 40, 50% off and let’s get into today’s show because today we’ve got breaking news on 2023. What to see in 23?

And so, the year starts off with great anticipation. I always remember Chuck Pierce has his starting the year off right in January, which it’s a bit mischievous. Because he also has the head of the year conference for the Jewish Feast, which is kind of like the 50 that they do the Jewish number. Most you people know what it is.

Mercedes: I think 5 7 8 6. I thought.

Lance: 5 7 8 6. I got into this stuff at 5 7 7 7 that was when I began when Trump was running because it was 3, 7s is 3 like swords and 3, I knew there was going to be the beginning of the clashing of swords. An era of the clashing of swords. And I believe that spiritual clashing of swords is taking on a new level. Folks, when remember that Biden picture of him with the draconian black red draped in Philadelphia like Dracula doing that speech. Well, a couple of thoughts here. One of them is I really do believe that the era of the clashing of swords is upon us but something that we should be grateful for. There are things we should be thankful for that are indications of the mercy of God that we should really celebrate.

One of them is as prone to propaganda as America is as danger 5 7 8 3. That’s the year. She’s holding up the envelope. 5 7 8 3. As prone as America is to propaganda from the left and media suppression. Almost like the Communist Party. You now see on Twitter the exposure, but I mean come on it’s going to be on the other platforms as well. I was cut off, even the communist party doesn’t even let me speak on TikTok and China owns that. It’s just like in spite of all that, I’m thankful that Biden and Harris can’t put sentences together. You realize what a mercy that is.Because in this environment what you don’t want is a Hitler coming along, who capitalizes on all of this lying and deception and anti-conservative, anti-Christian sentiment and then gives bold, powerful, persuasive articulation to him.

In that sense, Obama was a real, I mean, let’s face it. In the midterms, he did hurt us because he comes off as personable, likable, and low-information voters that can’t pierce the veil of manipulation. Find him a smooth snake oil salesman. He’s good at what he’s doing. Trump, you like him or you hate him. If you enjoy him, he’s saying what you want to say here, but if you don’t, he’s antagonizing you. Obama had the skill of sounding like a state even while he was feeding arsenic. Thank God. There’s no one on the left right now that has the power of persuasion. It’s the media’s doing the job for them. It’s all block and tackle and cover up. They themselves can’t make the case and that’s actually a mercy from God. So, Mercedes, you were looking at the questions that people had on our live Facebook broadcast. So, our last broadcast was an experiment. We could do that again. We might do that again. We may do that again, but not right now. So, we just did a Facebook broadcast and did it live while we’re doing this which was a little bit awkward for you. You didn’t like it.

Mercedes: Well, no, it’s not that I didn’t like it. I’m used to talking to this camera right in front of me and then I’ve got Lance in the corner who’s like, keep going. And so, I was like, ah. Anyways, it’s art. I mean, truly Lance, your ability to do this always amazes me, truly. I mean, I tried to do my own new podcast and it’s a lot different than being like the in the sidecar who makes like a witty comment every for like I don’t know 10 minutes for like a second and a half than Phil for 28 minutes. So, truly hat tip to you. But the questions. I’m going to come back to these questions. So, we got a lot of questions in yesterday’s broadcast that we did on Facebook. So, I liked this one was there any world event that surprised you this year? Anything that you were truly shocked by?

Lance: I was shocked by the good news that Elon Musk actually took over Twitter and that for $44 billion the poor guy paid probably 20 billion more and listen billions. But it took that. It took a billionaire. Think about how God uses billionaires, and by the way for all you Christians out there he’s using non-Christians who have money. I don’t know what that means. I’m just saying we tend to think that it’s all you’re waiting for the righteous to arise. Well, you don’t need to. You just got to pray in the right unsaved person, and if they’ve got your values. Look at Lincoln, look at Churchill, that’s what I always say. There’s a verse in Daniel that’s Daniel chapter 11 verse 1.Good verse to memorize because it’s a 111, easy to locate. It’s an archangel that shows up to Daniel while he’s praying and fasting and he comes with his dented shield and sword and says, “I was there in the first year of Darius to confirm him in his office”.

Think of that. The prayers of this Jewish prophet enabled the angels of heaven to go to war to get the right heathen in office. You keep wanting to have a choir director. All those Christians. Trump, I wish he changes down. Listen, what you want is the right heathen. You don’t have to have a choir boy. You don’t have to have your favorite sanitized Christian. You got to get just the right person. I don’t even care if they’re a Christian. Put Churchill in there. He’ll deal with Hitler and he’ll have the principles, the right values. I think we have to look at people’s principles and values more than their theology and quit being so sanctimonious on dealing with people because Twitter was the big surprise this year and as a result of Elon Musk buying it, the veil has been pulled back.

Oh, now the hypocrisy of media and the danger of media as a tool of the state for propaganda is never more conspicuous than when you have a real story and nobody wants to cover it. Because it’s politically inconvenient for them to reveal that the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the NHS that they are all complicit in spying on Americans shutting down your conversation, de–platforming you, silencing you, pretty much like the Communist Party does in China. And they don’t like the story, but that to me was the big surprise that A, the Democrats as bad as they are and Washington Republicans by the way, the Uni Party, as bad as McCollum, these guys are. They can’t find an articular spokesman and that’s good for us, because our side has articular people and wait till you see what God raises up this year.

The fire of God is going to come out. You’re going to have some incendiary flames of fire in God‘s field rising up and you’re going to see the flames set the fields of harvest ablaze. The populous movement is about to come alive.

Mercedes: I like that. I was going to say the war in Ukraine. I didn’t really see that one going the way that it did. So especially when there was all the fear mongering when Trump was in office that he was going to cause World War II with Russia and I’m like what the heck’s happened? So,the war in Ukraine for me would be probably the world event that I was surprised by.

Lance: Did the fact that there was war and how about the fact that, how it’s going? Did this surprise you at all?

Mercedes: How about that we’re building them a wall but we’ve never built us a wall. I mean there’s just certain things, right? I’m truly surprised by it. I got other question for you.

Lance: 44 billion dollars for them and other countries to secure their borders.

Mercedes: Yeah, exactly.

Lance: When our borders are working with the drug cartels and I think the intelligence community’s in on it. Honestly, I’m going to keep putting it out there because I think Tim Poole needs to start doing some investigative reporting on how the government is actually not only allowing the border to be open but people are making money often.

Mercedes: Oh yeah, I think so. Okay, how about this one? This is a little different. I wrote this one down because I was interested to know but what to you do you think is your biggest spiritual revelation this year. What was the that you feel like God really, it’s like an it’s fresh manna?Some sort of new revelation that I hadn’t thought of it this way but this is it.

Lance: I’m going to go listen to the tent meetings. People that have never heard me preach because I sit behind a microphone or I sit behind a podcast and I myself don’t preach. So, it’s a different feel when you got a couple thousand people and no whiteboard, no microphone, no TV and you’re just talking to the crowd. But Mario Murillo got me out.

Mercedes: Yeah.

Lance: Couple weeks ago, in Fort Myers and I’m starting to do more of this. I had to seek Godfor a word and I couldn’t just do news. I had to, the Bible says, “Preach the word, not preach the headlines”. So, I had to get into the word and when I did, I had an aha Mercedes and that was the Lord showed me that for many of us the great disappointment of midterms. Which was kind of like it was a disappointment because I felt as though that was a sobering indication of something about where we’re going as a nation that God wasn’t going to intervene and change the course. So, now we’re in a gradual slow, what we call a controlled crash in the airline industry. It’s a control crash. And that the reason why that is a revelation is because I was studying God moving in government and I saw that the government of God in David’s day before David was symbolized in the ark. Now David was a ruler but the ark the symbol of God‘s government.

The aha was that the midterms and the political platform that we need to solidify and hold that ground is not the vehicle for America’s deliverance. I thought if we could win the battle at the gates of government, we could possibly win the battle for America protecting it. Midterms told me, here’s what I got. That when David tried to the ark of God‘s government and glory to Israel in his administration that the ark was being transported on an Ox cart and the cart stumbled, the Ox stumbled and the man who was driving the ark was killed when he reached out to try to steady the ark so that the hand of man was trying to steady the government of God. When in fact the Government of God was commanded to be carried on the soft shoulders of Levites not on a man-made vehicle. A party platform. And they even call it a plank. It’s curious.

There is no political plank or platform. You can put the glory of God on. The glory of God that will save America will be on the soft shoulders of Levites. The Levites had these staves. It’s what they were called. I guess they were brass or bronze or cop staves that went through the ark and they carried 6 of them carried on their shoulders, the weight of the glory. The government the Bible says will be upon his shoulders. And we are the body of Christ. Therefore, the government of heaven is on our shoulders. News flash. Those of you that don’t want Christians in politics the government is on the shoulders of the body of Christ. If the church rises up in any nation their shoulders can shift the spiritual climate over the nation. That was an aha for me. And I realized then I’m not going to diminish my strategic emphasis on school boards and elections and county commissioners and election integrity. Because those are the areas that Satan’s going to use in order to steal us and rob from us our freedom. But I recognize the glory of God and the power of God‘s majesty to deliver America will not come on a platform made by man. It’ll be theshoulders of the body of Christ and that was a sober aha for me about midterms.

Mercedes: I like that a lot. Alright, can I throw mine in there? Is that okay? I think for me this year, God really laid on my heart around summertime. This idea that he’s raising up grassroots women and that rom if you go to a lot of women’s meetings, it’s like it’s the season of Esther. It’s the season of Deborah and for me, I really start to seek the Lord about that because I’m like, Lord, these women are so different. How are these women the same? Like one this amazing beauty queen. The other one is like judge of Israel. I feel like she’s a CPA type of a personality.

Lance: You’re saying the women that you meet are like women in the Bible.

Mercedes: No, I’m saying like if you go to a lot of women’s meetings, like there’s normally just like these prophetic words that are like it’s the season of Esther. It’s the season of Deborah, but I was like, Lord how are these women the same? Like what do they have in common? I don’t know if they’d be friends in real life. And the Lord said to me, he’s like they’re both problem solvers. And if you think about when Eve was made. Eve was the only thing that was made that was a solution to a problem. When God looked at man and said that’s not good for man to be alone. Don’t you? I’ve seen, look now you’re listening on the broadcast. I tell you these things my friend.

So, but here’s what I found out. In that story of Deborah when you reread it it’s short right? And judges. And she tells Barack, you need to go to war and you need to deliver the people of Israel. And he’s like, well, I’ll go only if you go with me and you go. She’s like, okay, but just know this victory is going to be delivered into the hand of a woman. So, fast forward a little bit they’re pushing Caesarea back and he’s lost his whole army. He’s fleeing on foot and whose tent does he come across? He comes across JL’s tent and this is a woman’s tent and he says, please, take me in. I’m being chased to come in my Lord, come in my Lord. So, he said please hide me. She puts a rug over him. Give me some water. She gives him milk he falls asleep and JL decides to take business into her own hands deal with Caesarea.

So, she picks up the tent peg and she drives it through his head and then here comes Barack chasing after him. She’s like, come on, I got something to show you and the Bible says, “And Barack found him dead there with the tent peg in his head”. I had this revelation because I think there’s a lot of women, if you’re kind of like me, you self-exclude yourself that I might not be beautiful like Esther and I might be not be like wise and shrewd like Deborah. But every woman can be a graph roots jail woman, that when the cultural issue of your day that’s coming in to threaten your family is coming to take over your life. You have license to deal with and take down that problem. I think that that’s the biggest revelation I got this year that God is calling women to a new level of leadership within culture and within your community that you have to own these issues when they come for your children, when they come for your house.

Lance: Which is probably why the school boards and that was one of the great wins that we had this year is that at a local level the women you start to go after their children, you’re going to be in a world of hurt. So, these the schools we did win at and local legislators, we did win a lot of seats. There’s a lot of victories by the way that we have, but there were the closer to home victories. I think it’s a lesson too that you’ve got more authority locally and less authority nationally, news flash. That’s obvious right.

Mercedes: Totally.

Lance: And we tend to focus nationally on things we have no influence over but we have influence over what happens locally. So, I was, oh my gosh, we only had 8 minutes left.

Mercedes: Well, let me throw this last question in then because it I think it ties all this together.

Lance: Go ahead.

Mercedes: One of the questions says, we see all the distress in our country. What can we do besides pray? What can we do, Lance?

Lance: Well, alright. So, that’s a very good question. I was going to go someplace else but let me address that. When we say besides pray, I would start by saying I don’t think you’re praying. I don’t think I’m praying. I would challenge that. Because if we were really praying, I think we would have what we and the Bible says, “Asking you shall receive”. I don’t think we’re seeing revival and let me give you some challenges. You’re probably not going to have God answering prayer for America if you’re praying wrong. So, if you’re praying for God to put Donald Trump back in office. That’s not the prayer that registers in heaven. Because I just got done telling you that America needs to have a political leadership is an indicator of where the people are at. So, if the people repent and if the people change, then God will give leadership such that he can give you victory.

But the answer is not the leadership, the answer is the people. You were the one that told me this that pray for rulers and those who are in authority that we may lead a Godly and peaceable life. that’s biblical. But who are the rulers that are in authority in the United States? Is it Washington?Is it the intelligence agencies? In a sense they’re in the seat of authority, but who’s the person in authority ultimately that puts them there and who is that?

Mercedes: It’s the people and the constitutional republic and people.

Lance: People are the authority. So, pray for rulers, and those who are in authority pray for the American citizen that there will be a citizen’s awakening. I believe that the citizen’s awakening starts with this. We have to change our disposition. I can be angry but sin not. It’s an art form. You can be angry at what the devil’s doing. You can be vexed at what he’s up to. You can be angry at what people are saying and doing and the nuttiness of what they’re trying to accomplish.But you cannot let that become a toxic, hatred of the people himself. If prayer is only registering if that be with people that love their enemies, then how many Christians prayers for America are actually being heard. I don’t think we have love for enemies. I think a lot of us struggle with contempt and bitterness and resentment and unforgiveness and then it becomes us versus them and them versus us.

So, now I’m talking to all because a lot of you know what I’m saying, there’s a tremendous amount of need for us to say. I don’t think prayer is actually being effective. I just want to say that because we always go other than pray. I think start with that start to actually pray. Secondly,Ken Eldred said this to me the other day in his office and as we have these Bible studies we know once a week, a friend of mine. We get together. He is a business guy; great business guy and we just get together we start with the word and then we discuss things. But he said that the great revival God is sending is not requiring of us individually some great exploit, it’s the little things that God is dealing within our life that we need to obey him on.

So, for instance, the big aha I thought the audience would like is that God‘s glory will not advance on a man-made carpet on the shoulders of his people. But the part I was going to say is the personal aha was the Lord said one verse that Paul or one of the epistle apostles wrote to learn that you might be able to Please God. I thought the word please God just hit me that this ominous, awesome power that is the ultimate judge of the universe that we treat like too familiarly. He is the ultimate God who can determine whether you go to heaven or hell is what Jesus said. “Fear him. Fear him who has the power to send you to hell”. That’s what Jesus said.

There’s a sermon nobody wants to preach, but that it’s possible to have a relationship with him that pleases him. You don’t have to be perfect. He knows you’re not perfect but you can have enough of an integrity and intimacy and communion. Think about be a friend of God to have God say I like that one and not to be superficial about this but we all believe we treat God like he’s Santa Claus. We have two familiar and soft a vision of the Almighty terrifying force that is the Christ holy God of the universe. Even Jesus, I think that a lot of us have another Jesus I think we’re worshiping the Jews I question whether Christians have the right Jesus. Well lance, Jesus returns the other cheek John my meek and mild. He gives his life. He looks. When Jesus comes back in second Thessalonians, he looks like someone waging jihad. He’s coming back with an army and flames of fire and his first act is to execute judgement on those that don’t obey him.

That’s not the Jesus a lot of you are talking about. Some people are not going to, I always think that if you invited Elijah to a cocktail party. You’d probably be offended at the guy at the corner of the bar. Not going to drink. He’s probably going to have some commentary that’s not going to it the social order but yet God just showed up to your party. So, here’s what I’m trying to say. Other than pray, I said, let’s start by getting ourself into a relationship with God where we’re listening to the little things. Not the big things because like my friend Ken said, if we’ll repent and adjust our self on the little things, we’ll enter the revival. It will be so natural Mercedes to slip into this thing.

My friend Gordon Pennington sending me these personal text updates every day of 1, 2, 3 people he randomly meets at an airline at a at a coffee shop. He has conversation with them, is interested in them, finds out their story, discusses with them his faith, ask them if they’ve ever considered it, and then invites them to receive Jesus. In one day, he sent me four videos of them and he has them greet me and say that they just accepted Jesus and you see this look on their face. I’m so convicted because I’m realizing, I’m probably walking by 2, 3, or 4 people every day that could be saved because the atmosphere is right for this move of God, but I have to do something that would put me in a place where it’s not more than pray. It’s that I’m actually praying the prayers that are pleasing God and that God is answering them. That’s where I think this movement of God is going to be taking off. That’s my thoughts.

Mercedes: I think it’s good. I think like and especially what you’re talking about really comes down I think to obedience is, are you doing the things he commanded us to do. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself and like it says in the Bible. It’s like, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest send out more labors”. And I like what you’re talking about too about this idea of fearing God where I was watching a video the other day. It’s not a saved lady but she was talking about the rings of Saturn. How the rings of Saturn actually aren’t flat, but they have peaks and like mountains. She’s like, I’ve always envisioned being a little shuttle and being able to see that, because for the first time we were to see it with our telescopes. I end up thinking, God knew that was there. God of the universe who made everything. And we so get used to like looking this way right like what people are probably watching us on. But it’s like when’s the last time you really looked up? When was the last time you could actually see stars?

I mean there’s so much ambient light or if you look really deep-down DNA. I mean how do you look at things so logically put together and not think, oh we serve an awesome God. Oh, we serve a big God.

Lance: As the idea of intelligent design which is the argument of the ages. By the way we only have 30 seconds left in the broadcast. I can’t believe that we just lost all that time just went flying right by. We love this audience. We love you. We love these conversations. One of the questions that somebody asked me that I did not answer is people have like what’s coming financially and economically. My concern is what’s coming economically is suddenlies and that people are going to be caught unprepared. One of the headlines I’m looking at right now that we never got into is Iran to Israel. Strike our nuclear power plant and Tel Aviv will be raised to the ground.

Now let me just say something. In America we obsess over trivia because Paul Pelosi and the guy that broke into his house with the bullpen hammer and what’s the story? Want you to know there’s bigger stories going on in the world that can affect you than Paul Pelosi’s Private life. Israel will not let Iran have a nuclear bomb. It’s likely that Iran has a nuclear bomb. This is while America dawdled. Iran, if it could go through our poorest border on the south and would bring the nuclear dirty bomb into America. And they would strike Israel and the United States all within the same 48 hours. I’m saying that to you, because I think like 911 when God is no longer your reliable big buddy in the sky who’s watching over you. And he gives you what you want,and the devil’s in charge of your finances or the devil’s in charge of your security system. Expect your bank account to get robbed, expect your door to be unlocked when the thief shows up.

That’s what happens when you have lawless government. You no longer have God protecting you. But you as a believer are in a different place. That’s why I tell people when they have an IRA where they have, do what Annabelle and I have decided to do. Move things into out of the instability of paper into the substance of commodities or gold or silver. I’m not a financial analyst. I’ve got people I meet with now that talk to me about this. But what I’ve learned is that,“The silver is mine and the gold is mine”, the Lord says. There will be commodities that are going to continue. There’s going to be certain businesses that are global that are more bulletproof Matter of fact, one of the weird predictions of the president of Russia, not Putin but the guy Medved, the guy that was president of Russia, he says that he believes that the western economy is going to collapse in the next year. The Euro and the dollar and that the pivot will go towards Asia.

Mercedes: Wow.

Lance: And China and the BRICS Nations and Brazil and Iran and Russia. So, it’s and then India is kind of the wildcard. What am I telling you? You want to go to “Lancewallnau.com/Birch”. You want to download the report. We by the way have a report that we’re working on which is an end time analysis of economics happening globally. We study this stuff. We believe that what’s happening in with Davos and the World Economic Forum. They have plans for your life and I think that Putin has interrupted those plans. The bad part is the United States is in on those plans. So, the United States is going to go through some rough adjustments in the future. But when those adjustments happen? The populous uprising will be Fed. Nothing’s going to get people’s attention. Like the discovery they’re no longer safe and secure and food is no longer a given and energy is in scarcity. Americans will have a wake-up call.

My word to you is have the right spirit so that you’re at peace when these things happen and prepare yourself when it comes to finance. “Lancewallnau.com/Birch” is where we go. When it comes to food supply, “Lancewallnau.com/Patriot” is where we say get yourself prepared. And if you’re doing what you need to do, then relax and trust God because God did not call you to anxiety attacks. He called you to be the solution. That means you got to be the person that’s walking in faith when everyone else is losing their mind.

So, garrison yourself spiritually in the right kind of words, the right kind of teaching. Because Jesus said these days were coming and he also said it was the time of the great harvest. Pray for rain at the time of the latter rain, because God‘s pouring out his spirit and people are more ready than they’ve ever been to hear the message of the gospel. Amen?

Mercedes: Amen.

Lance: And amen. We’ll be talking to you again tomorrow. God bless you.
