Episode Transcript

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: Alright, so let’s take a look at an important verse and I’m going to land the plane here. Let’s go to Acts chapter 17 if you got a Bible. So, Acts 17, Paul goes to Athens and I think it’s kind of interesting where he goes. I want you to see this. Paul when he goes to Athens, he is provoked because he sees in verse 16, the whole city is given over to idols. I think this is interesting. The apostle Paul looks at a whole city and if he had been what I thought he would be, he would be, he’d be agitated because their souls are lost. He’s not. He’s agitated at the fact that the demons are controlling all the ideologies that are keeping them lost. In other words, Paul is bothered by the idolatry in Athens, not just the fact that the people are lost. He doesn’t say he got bothered in Thessalonica or Colossian, but here he sees demons in control of the institutions. He sees them as demons and the whole culture, philosophically brilliant, is actually under the influence of demons and they don’t even realize and it bothered him when he got there because he’s got a job he’s got to do.

Now, watch what he does. While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols. He was reasoning in the synagogue. Now, let me ask you a question. If we have these like 7 Mountains over here, I’m going to start to list them off. I want you to figure out which one is which. This is Athens. This is your Athens too by the way. So, we’ve got religion over here. We got family over here. We got education here, government here. I’ll put the media here. I’ll put the arts here and then I’ll put business right here. So, we got religion, family, education, government, media, arts, business. They collectively actually control the mind of a nation. He who captures those high places can literally disciple a nation. That’s the fascinating truth of this thing.

So, we have kind of hit over here in the church and family mountain while and what Floyd said is true. When he says that all of politics is downstream from culture, it’s like saying, I’ll rotate these over here. I’ll put business here and government here. And what he’s saying is from this stream of influence, starting with the failure of the church, through this communities, through education, government and politics is downstream from what the arts community, the business community, the media, and the schools are teaching and they’re downstream from the people of God shaping the culture. So, when we isolate ourselves like this and don’t involve the culture then there’s family is too small to be able to influence. Education Charlie Kirk says is now taking over America and the educational high places are controlled by demons. So, there is your flow going to government. So, when you want to go here and you say how do we drain the swamp? Well, the swamp’s bigger than you think. It starts back here. How do you drain the campuses that are poisoning the youth that are going into government? Make sense?

So, Paul goes to Athens and he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the Godfrey and Gentiles and in the marketplace. Which mountain would be the synagogue? Come on class. Religion mountain right here. He goes to the religion mountain and starts raising with him because the whole city is under control of idols and demons. He starts doing his holy ghost work right here with the synagogues. Then he goes to the marketplace. Which one of these is the marketplace? Business. There we go. So, then he goes here. Then what happens after that? Let’s see if this keeps going. So, then he goes to the marketplace every day with those who happen to be there. He’s talking to the Jews and Gentiles. Then some of them were Epicureans and stood philosophers. Oh, where’s the philosopher mountain. Education. That’s where Socrates and then in Plato and then Aristotle were teaching their students.

So, he’s gone from the religion mountain all the way to the business mountain. Now he goes to the education mountain and he’s debating and discussing Jesus and the resurrection and the education community. He’s preaching Jesus and they say, he’s preaching Jesus in the resurrection. So, they brought into Areopagus where they’re always interested in hearing something new. What’s going on? That’s media and the arts Mountain where there’s always something new and curious. You could watch and someone’s going to come. It’s very entertaining to hear all the debates going on. So, he literally goes from the religion mountain to the business mountain to the education mountain to the Areopagus where they discuss the latest and the newest things, media and entertainment. And when he’s done there, boom, he’s going to be leaving a people that could start to plant a church to impact the government in Athens.

So, this is how the spirit. When you look at the apostle Paul and these guys, 19 out of 23 cities he went to, when you read about Ephesus or Thessalonica, these were not just random cities, they were the central trade routes for power, for money, and for ideas. They were governing centers in the territory, when Paul went to where the power structure was and planted a church. Now, before the church could be tucked away over here because now the church. Remember, if the church is in a Philippian jail or it’s at Lydia’s house, Lydia is a businesswoman. The Philippian jailer has a home but he works for the government. The house of Cornelius was a military guy working for the government where he had everybody come to his family quarters. What I’m trying to tell you is we think it’s always a church planting but it wasn’t there. The church actually was a gathering in homes with people that had influence and involvement in different spheres where they shared their faith in the mountain God them. Is that make sense?

You send your kids off to Bible school? That’s great. Send them to Bible School but what is they learning in Bible School? Signs, wonders, soaking, miracles, how to beloved as well. A beautiful assortment of supernatural acumens, but utterly useless. If 10% of the body of Christ is called to be the teachers, the preachers, the people with the microphone like me. I know that because I am a Cohen. I am a Levite. I’m an Ashkenazi Jew. My forefathers were the rabbis. We teach. The people that actually take territory. 90% of the body of Christ is like the Jerusalem tribes or Joshua’s generation. They went out and expanded the territory while these people taught and interceded for their success. 90% don’t camp out here and multiply these. You want to see something weird? We’ve got more churches sometimes in the United States than we have mayors that we have lawyers and then we have journalists. Meanwhile, the culture is being shaped by everyone out there and the church is a very narrow audience. Does this make sense to you?

Break: I have to say something right now that is so interesting. When I’m traveling around, people say to me, Lance, you going to do another Dream Trip? A dream trip for those of you that don’t know what it is. It’s like a special getaway that we’ve done for like, I don’t know. I mean, 1420, maybe 1820 times to an exotic foreign location with 100, 200 or 300 of my students and business partners etcetera to analyze one area or two areas of life where the dream of God must become manifest. Could be career, relationship, marriage, physical health, breakthrough and we always bring in subject matter experts. Now I’m telling you we haven’t been able to do it for a while because of COVID and election cycles and such but now’s a time for a massive Dream Trip Reunion, June 20th through 22nd in Carlsbad, California right near San Diego. Go to “Lancewallnau.com/DreamTrip because it’s already filling up. It’s going to be an amazing time and that’s just one part of the agenda and a few secret guests. I’m not going to tell you we’re going to be there. That’s going to be June 20-22. Carlsbad California San Diego. God’s talking to me now about what he wants to do. That means it’s going to be explosive. “Lancewallnau.com/DreamTrip” get into this one before it fills up.

Lance: Now Paul’s up there teaching now at the Entertainment Mountain in the Areopagus and he’s bringing his ideas about Jesus the resurrection and his doctrine. He makes a statement here which has to do with nations. Probably one of the most important that you’ll find about nationalism and it comes in verse 26. He says to them, God made from one man every nation. There goes your Black Lives Matter and your transvestites and everything else. He says, Godmade all that diversity out of one bloodline. He created and multiplied a whole bunch of different skin tones and expressions. One man, many nations. Out of one bloodline, God created the diversity all over the Earth and they, and listen, of this, and he made from one man every nation of mankind to live in the face of having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, if happily they would seek God if perhaps, they might grope for him and find him. Though he is not far from any of us.

Now, what happens when you have a nation like our country and we’re in the stress that we’re in right now. Texas is always bigger in my world than it should be. There we go. But when you’ve got the United States over here. Think about this. We have as a nation boundaries. But what is the spirit of empire and Babylon or the beast want to do? And look how our border is just totally broken into. Because the boundaries are being eroded around America. The boundaries of gender are being eroded. So, a man isn’t a man and a woman is a woman. The boundaries of marriage have been redefined. So, the men and men and women and women and men maybe with couple of different wives if you go that way with legislation. The point is Satan is in the business of blurring and distorting boundaries because once he’s broken down the boundaries, it’s hard for you to contain the blessing of God.

So, here we have this situation where God gives you boundaries and he gives you a time period. America’s been blessed since World War II is being the dominant nation on the face of the earth. Here’s our challenge. We are right now in a time of national decline, financial decline, military and befuddlement and the world is looking at us like we’re in late-stage depravity. They see men dressed like women. Let me tell you something. When they see men dressed like women at heads of state and they are 1 billion Muslims or a billion Chinese or a billion nationalist Muslims, I’ll tell you what they think. They think America is a study in depravity and sad decline that once fearful powerful nation that Donald Trump represented that they feared has now suddenly been taken over like by the insane asylum and they see it as a sign of weakness and deterioration.Their eyes are now moving towards China. Saudi Arabia now is doing a deal where instead of trading in American dollars, they’re going to do it in Yuan. They’re willing to back the China currency because in Israel and in the Middle East, they see that without a Donald Trump at a strong America, America will self-destruct. They better work with China, they’re the emerging global superpower.

Now, what happens for us? Boundaries coming down, your time and then God says he sets a time period for nations. So, you’ll see the English empire, boom. Spanish empire, boom. You can look in history as to when these empires actually were on the clock and when they decline. The United States comes along and sadly, we’re in this period of decline. However, the word says, if happily they might seek him and this is the one variable that no other nation has. America is the most Christianized nation on the planet. We have more Christianity in the power sector than we realize. So, this religious impulse that is in Nation means that if we were to seek him, Paul says, if happily they might find him, what is an awakening? An awakening is when you find him and God‘s hand is extended and he stops the clock from your fall. He interrupts the pattern of your national destruction. He intervenes to keep you together. We had divine intervention during the revolutionary war. We had divine intervention during the Civil War. We had divine intervention in World War II with the Great Depression and now I believe we have divine intervention in what’s called the fourth turning of our crisis. 70 to 80 years apart America goes through this crisis. But in each time, there was an awakening that actually visited the Earth.

The awakening that we need now is the revivalist in the Second Great Awakening. Charles Grandis and Phineas and various others. They were against slavery. They were the abolitionist movement. So, in 1856, they formed the Republican Party out of the base of revivalists who fought slavery and that party put Lincoln in office God put Osiris in someone outside the revival community who God raised up for the sake of the nation and his people. That’s what Osiris type is what Donald Trump has been someone outside the Evangelical Holy Spirit Pentecostal community who God raised up in order to deal with the enemy. It’s what Churchill was for Great Britain he wasn’t the darling of Smith Wigglesworth he was the dread of Hitler. So, 1856, what they did was they reformed the party and produced a new party. That party went through the Civil War and though was a devastating period of time for two and a half years to three years. They eventually won.

My point is, the Republican Party apparatus over here. We can’t ignore it, because it’s too crucial. The question this dear lady asked over here, what can we do with the federal level? What Floyd is saying is the federal level is one thing. The local level is where God gave you authority. Focus where you have authority to change things. You have power to change. Writing a Facebook post isn’t going to affect anybody but you showing up at a board meeting, a school board meeting, a precinct committee meeting. There’s like, I can’t believe it’s like thousands of local precincts and government positions in the Republican Party that we don’t even know about because we are not, we have not, we trusted other people to steward this movement for us. One of the things I want to do is have an app that we develop that would notify our movement when there is an opening in any of these positions. So, from dog catcher to City Council, our people are aware that there’s an opening there. Does that make sense?

I’m saying that the Republican Party needs to have the same takeover that the Democrats did. The Democrats, I remember the Kennedy and Mondale Democrat era. My mother was like a voting. She voted for Kennedy. My dad voted. He liked Reagan and so they were divided but they were so close that they both liked Reagan at the same time actually. But the Democrat Party has changed so much and the Republican Party has gotten so weird that we actually need to do what the Democrats did. They took over. The activists and the money people took over the Democratic Party so that they would advance the agenda of the radicals. We need to do the same thing with the Republican Party. You can’t talk about raising up a third party and doing something like that and making a difference. What you can do is we can identify and get behind those people that are challenging the status quo.

God didn’t give us a red wave but he gave us a pink sprinkle and that pink sprinkle put the gavel in the hands of our MAGA patriots. And you may not know this but it’s the Marjorie Taylor Greens, these people. We need to actually be for them and getting behind. There’s like 7 to 10that are there in Washington and by the way, all of them are Christian and all of them have to struggle with their faith. But it’s because we have people that are there. God is saying, I’m giving you evidence. You don’t have an overwhelming victory yet, because you’ve got to sort some things out but I’m not giving you over to destruction either. That’s the moment we’re at. How many of you can bear witness with me? That’s the moment we’re at. It’s not Hubris. It’s not prophetic rahrah with the pom poms. You watch what’s happening next. It ought to be a kind of an anxiety that leads us to desperate intercession so that the issue can be resolved.

People don’t like, I’m reading his Christian writers criticizing Trump’s CPAC speech. Just annoys me that they like the Pharisees. They sit and watch Trump to see when he stumbles or what he says and then they write about it and they sound like they’re being just observant but they actually have an axe to grind. They don’t like him anyway. So, here’s the reality. I’m thinking about Donald Trump. Do you know what I was talking to my friends the other day? When Lincoln had to fight in the Civil War, he couldn’t get McClellan. He got a bunch of rhinos. He couldn’t get people that would fight Robert E Lee. He couldn’t get fighters. Grant suddenly shows up in the Shenandoah Valley in the Battle of Shiloh and he takes on the western campaign and Grant fights.

The problem is the rumor is Grant drinks. And so, the tea toddlers in Washington said he need to get rid of Grant. He’s drinking. And Lincoln very wisely said, I cannot spare to lose this man. He fights. And as much as you may be annoyed with Donald Trump’s style. He’s one of the few people that sees the devil for what he is and fights him. And then Lincoln went on who himself was a tea toddler and he said find out what he’s drinking and get it to the other generals quickly. So, where we are now is we need to seek rain at the time of the latter rain for a Jesus moment. I love the fact that we’ve got Asbury Revival and others hotspots of revival going on. I’m happy that we got the Jesus movie coming out. I’m thankful that these meetings are happening and we have enough freedom in America to not be locked down and shut down. But what we are? We are a nationalist movement but I believe that I’m going to call a nationalist populist movement because I’m not trying to say it’s only Christians.

I want to have everybody that has skin in the game. I want everyone that doesn’t want the globalist, the CDC, Wuhan, or the Union Party to shut us down. I’m against the elites destroying America. And it’s going to be a grassroots movement.

Final thought, when Wilberforce overturned slavery in Great Britain he did it without a civil war.You know why? Wilberforce, William Wilberforce he was in parliament in government. He had a place called the Clapham State which was a home of a wealthy business guy, and they met there like an apostolic hub, all the artists, all the business people and the pastors and they had meals and they commiserated on how they were going to take over the dinner tables and the conversations of all the elites in London and in Great Britain dealing with the issue of slavery.And they used to talk about how to have conversation starters, and who are you talking to? They commiserated about different legislation. They had 900 different legislative projects that built a pin prick in the conscience of the nation. They had the Christian Methodist preaching fiery on the streets.

The churches were working with the government as activists with their legislation. By the time they got done 80 years, 70 years of battle for Wilberforce as he’s Slavery was ended in Great Britain without the shedding of blood or a civil war. America did not have a Wilberforce. So, we ended up with a civil war. God wants America change. One way or the other, it’s going to change. It can be a change that we do by utilizing our influence or it could be a change that’s going to be forced perhaps by the subjugation of America. It’s not beyond the biblical narrative for God to say, “Since you wouldn’t serve me, I’m going to have you serve someone else that you can how to serve me. That’s not, I know a bunch of people go, they did the Old Testament. The only reason why you got still an Old Testament to read is because evidently God has something to say.

So, here’s we’re not there yet which is why we’re having this urgency to meet right now but Wilberforce summarize it this way and my final point is this, everyone learn this language. We are going to hammer the gates of influence, because the gates of influence is where the gates of hell are located and we’re going to see God‘s people rise up at the gates to deal with the gates of hell. We’ll embrace Tucker Carlson. I’ll embrace Jordan Peterson. I don’t care what their particular theology is in terms of your Sunday school teaching. If they’re speaking the principles and the ideas of the kingdom of God, they’re at the gates. I’m praying for them to succeed at the gates of influence. Wilberforce put it this way, our ultimate strategy is we are in a warfare and the warfare is a sustained pattern of public persuasion.

Right now, we’re talking to ourselves but if I’m not mistaken, the very conversation we’re having, as we grow, as we mobilize, as we show up, we’ll so freak out the leftist media that stalks me day and night. When they hear we’re actually doing something, they’re going to give us the free persecution we need which will cause people to hear about it and so if you’re not ready, buckle up Buttercup because they’re coming after us because this is the threat, they’ve been afraid we were going to have. There has been no mobilizing of the Christian movement. They keep looking for their polite person at the top that they can run to be president to go up against the fortified strongholds of hell. And we’ve learned you can’t send an individual to Washington, the FBI, the CIA, the deal, the whole thing will itself up to take you out and put you in jail. The system is sick.

So, we’re going to have to raise up our own free radicals that are going to rewrite and reform the Republican Party. This is a reformation movement. Right on down to education. Reform has got to happen. And you have to figure out how this is going to be happening in your own State where you have the most spiritual authority. We’re engaged in a sustained pattern of public persuasion. The persecution will give us a platform.

I remember once that David Wilkerson said that he went into the courtroom when in the young gang, his gang kids were there and he was very naive. He was like Billy Graham when he started out and he made a mistake. He stood there with his Bible. Well, he’s from the mountains of some of the God preacher. There were the Bible in a courtroom. He didn’t even know what he was doing in New York City. He just was called God calling to reach the gangs and some journalists says, hey preacher, what he got in your hand and he holds it up with the Bible. They took a picture. Front page of the paper in his hometown. Crazy lunatic Pentecostal makes an embarrassment of himself interrupting a court scene with his Bible. All he did was he did what the journalist want. But what happened was the gangs found out that this was the preacher that interrupted the courtroom and he became a minor celebrity because of that embarrassment. So,Lester Sommerall said it. Let the enemy persecute you and just allow it to become a platform that lifts you up higher to speak the word of God. Are you with me on that?
