Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
So there I was in Chicago and it was a blizzard.
Now put yourself in this unusual position. I am pastoring
a church when this is happening, and I have advertised
a big conference, and the guest who is going to

(00:23):
pack this little church out in Rhode Island is going
to be the guest is going to be Kim Clement,
a well known prophetic voice. Hard to get him for
any event, but he was a friend of mine and
he would do me favors and we'd book him for
Rhode Island. Okay. Now the problem is we are both

(00:45):
flying in from different cities. He's in Dallas, Texas, and
I am at this point coming in from Chicago with
my wife, and I believe I had a child like
at that point in a stroll, one of one of
my children, probably Lance Junior. So where in Chicago, and

(01:07):
I'm looking at my watch and freaking out because flights
are getting canceled and I've got to fly home for
my own conference, and my guests may not be there
because of the blizzard that's hitting the United States. But
I least have to get back now. I had just

(01:28):
been studying in the Bible about how David had saved
his own life by suddenly adjusting his behavior, by taking
control of his behavior, and in a moment of extreme danger,
he just flipped. And I'll show you in a minute

(01:48):
when he does it and starts acting different, and that
acting different saved his life. And then I was reading
about the apostle Paul, who, when he was in a
moment of extreme personal danger where he was in the
middle of a mob that was pulling one way or
the other, he read the situation, saw it, adapted himself,

(02:11):
and did something that boom divided the room into and
spared him. And in both cases, the servant of God
stepped out of the emotion of the moment and rather
than respond or rather than react to the circumstance, they

(02:32):
responded and did something different. I'm setting this up for
a reason. I'm thinking about this while I'm watching these
long lines of delayed flights get bigger and bigger as
people are like cattle. They're moving in Chicago towards having
to go get on a different flight, and now the

(02:53):
snow's coming down even more and they're announcing delays, delays
and canceled flights and rebooking, and I'm thinking, oh, oh,
my gosh, of all the nights to have to have
a kickoff for a conference. I never should have been
out of Rhoda, but the blizzard threw off all the flights,
So anyway I could have been mature. I could have

(03:17):
quietly just prayed, like a lot of you might suggest,
and say, well, Lord, please get us there in Jesus name,
buying the bad weather or whatever. But I just read
these stories about how these Bible characters acted oddly differently
and it worked for them, And so I did an experiment.
I'm really big on experimenting. And I'm sitting there, walking

(03:41):
there in the airport terminal with my wife and she's
got the stroll. I'm going, what am I going to do?
What am I going to do? But my baby right here?
My babies, and now the flight's canceled? What will I do?
And I'm talking to myself out loud, going hits me goes,

(04:01):
what's the matter with you? What are you doing? Stop it? Woman,
I'm experimenting. What am I going to do? And I
start slipping up my voice like a distressed passenger, and
she's going, what is the matter with you? Well, a
lady comes up to me with a clipboard. Sir, is
that your baby right there? I go, yes, it is.

(04:22):
I don't know what I'm going on and why I'm
complaining about what am I going to do? She goes,
I think you should follow me? Is how many are there? Three? Two?
And a baby right straight's down? Follow me. She takes
me over to a side room. I blushed to disclose
what this was. This looked to me like there were

(04:44):
mental people there, people that had special needs, and they
were collecting special needs people who they were going to
get out in the next flight because they had and
there were people in wheelchairs and some people that clearly
had mental issues and they had caregivers, and they're where
am I with my wife? With my wife and my child?
And Annibal's going What's going on? I said? All I

(05:07):
know is the Lord told me just to start to
lift up my voice and that he was going to
get us out of this situation. They put us on
a special flight flew us boom to Boston Boom. I
got picked up and down to Providence for the meeting,
and by the time I had gotten home, I thought,
what would it happened if I had just been my

(05:28):
normal quiet put up with itself I wouldn't have got
out that night. I would ended up coming in the
next day. Now, I know this is a weird story,
and I don't do it all the time, but I
realized at that moment by doing something different, I was
setting myself up to get in a different situation than
if I just done what I normally do. And so

(05:49):
when we talk about this series right now, it really
has to do with well, there's a couple of couple
of themes that I want to talk about, but the
essence of it is how there are times when in
a moment, or in a heartbeat, you can shift the
way you're dealing with something and it changes the dynamic

(06:09):
of the entire experience. And let's lance wall noow dot
com forward slash heartbeat. It's the name of the product,
is the name of the teaching, and it really comes
out of something which I realized in the military. So
I went to military school. My dad sent me there
is World War two vet, and I realized that they
make you stand a certain way, they make you talk

(06:32):
a certain way, yes sir, no, sir, And it's like,
you know, head up, and your visor always is like
at an angle, so your head's at an angle like that,
and your shoulders are always backing down and you're moving
with a certain and I realize something that the physiology
that is the physical handling of your frame has a
direct connection to your state. And if you want to

(06:56):
produce that alpha state of competition and competence and capacity
and overcoming, there's a certain military bearing that they force
you and how you move because they're forcing you to
take on the physiology of competence and capacity. Now, a
guy was telling me psychologists that if you're shrenched over

(07:17):
like this and and you roll your shoulders forward and
you breathe shallow and you're and you frown and walk
around like this, you're inducing a neuro phenomena which is
signaling to you your your state actually is coming under
the cloud. It's the depression, it's the weakness, it's the

(07:41):
it's the disempowered. It's the physiology of disempowerment. You ever
see a picture just when being being abused, or doing
a purp walk, or be being publicly shamed, hands down,
the shoulders scrunched over, face down, shielding yourself. You ever
see somebody that's got like the they call it a
superhero landing, or where they land with their fists down,

(08:04):
or it's the hands on the hips. So the empowerment position.
When I'm working with someone who's used to being beat
up in their physiology, their physical body is programming their
soul in alignment with some weakness. You have them break
that state, and you have them put their hands on
their hips and their feet at a you know, separated

(08:26):
about you know, twelve to sixteen inches and stand flat
like that, parallel to the challenge like that, not at
an angle, but straight on. Something about this is what
we know from athletics, what we know from theater, what

(08:46):
we know from the military. It has to do with
bringing your body in alignment with where your soul wants
to go. And Christians don't talk about this stuff, but
look up for your redemption. Draws nigh, clap your hands,
oh ye, people shut under God with a voice of triumph.

(09:06):
I would say to you that the ancient dividic order
of Israelites that were trained for battle and walk with
God and walk with a spiritual I'd say that their
physiology or the physical aspect of worship, presenting your body
as a living sacrifice, making your body obey what you

(09:26):
wanted to do, it's a part of Christianity. And in
the West we've gotten very Reformation based, very European based,
very Greek based, very cerebral, sit in church, blank looking price,
listen to the patrio up there, patron from a book.
Whereas in the dynamic of New Testament Christianity present your
body as a living saca. What does it mean, present

(09:48):
your body as living service? That means your faith doesn't
belong to you, old sourpus put on Christ. That means
there are times when you might just have to put
a Every worship leader worth their assault or on a
paycheck with any church has warfare before they get out
of that platform. I guarantee preachers and worship leaders have

(10:11):
fights on their way to church, just like church people do.
You got I'm what I'm not saying, it's I literal,
but I'm saying that the warfare bad news, wife is sick,
babies at home, problem in the marriage, whatever financial problem,
whatever's going on. They got to push that in the background.
And when don't they come out, we lift the sacrifice

(10:31):
of prise.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
They're smiling away that your new planets. He's maybe on
the wharfever he's smiling away. He's talking to you out there.
There's a professionalism that actually is anointed, which means you
put your emotions and your your physical fatigue and your
battles behind you.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Why I'm stepping into the role of the servant of
the Lord right now, I'm putting off on Christ. I'm
under the anointing. I'm serving with the ability that God
gives and not out of my own strength. Therefore, I'm
stepping into the anointing for this ministry, and I'm going

(11:15):
to lead you in worship, and I'm going to act
like the friends person in the world. And I'll tell
you a little secret. When you do that, it frees you.
I I could tell you after forty years of ministry,
there are times when you got the pace of life
itself is so demanding. You can't can imagine how wrung
out and weak you are, but you you step out

(11:38):
by faith. Many times I actually was not sure I
had the ability to even preach, because in the course
of life, you can be running down, you can even
be sick, have a cold, but you get it on
the way there and then you're in the hotel and
then you got to speak. But amazing thing happens. The

(11:59):
spirit of God will quicken your immortal body. Before you
know it, your pranks down the annoying, it's actually strengthened you.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
You have expended energy and you're stronger at the end
of it. You're ministering out of the pure grace of
God's strength, and it comes across like fire because it's
the spirit of God doing it. I want you to
go to landswallnow dot com forward slash heartbeat nine one

(12:30):
zero six three four nine, because what I'm taking now is,
and it may seem strange, but I'm taking the very
essence of what Christian leaders in sports psychology, in the military,
in peak performance, in Olympic work have taught me about
how believers manage their bodies, soul and spirit and bring

(12:52):
it into alignment so that the spirit man is empowering
the soul and the soul is empowering the body, and
your operating in that fusion puts you in the right state,
at the right place.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now, I'm in front of my great whiteboard here, Lance
Walnut dot com forward slash heartbeat. Don't forget that. Let
me show you something here. We often use this xy
axis to describe something. If you know I'm going to
give you an example, let's say you're in sales. Let's

(13:24):
bring this down to the realm where ordinary folk work,
where you have to work in a store, department store,
on a telephone, or in customer service, or in a
daycare or in something. And there's certain things you know
how to do, what to do in order to sell.
You know, you know the science of what to do,

(13:44):
but how you show up as the big key. In
other words, you may know what you're supposed to do
as an athlete, as a salesperson, as a leader, as
a manager, as or whatever, But what do you think

(14:05):
is the Uh, it's not just knowing what to do,
it's how you show up in terms of doing it.
So if putting this on a scale of one two,
let's say five to ten over here, if you show
up half motivated, half engaged, half present, well it doesn't

(14:30):
matter what you know, because this much is not going
to be accomplished, because it's not just there's something mysterious
about this thing. You may technically know what's funny, but
if you don't show up in a state that's conduced
of the laughter, the joke bombs, you could you could

(14:52):
be You could be in the sales presentation. And you know,
like if I go back to my old days over
my twenties, where you're going to have to sell yourself
and sell your product and sell your price, and you're
in the process of doing it, but you're disengaged, you're distracted,
you're not fully present, you're not picking up on all
the internet, you know, the cues. Your state is what's

(15:16):
killing you. I would suggest to you something interesting that
if I had a choice between technique and state, I'll
take state nine tenths at the time, because your state
can override at some point your technique. In other words,
you could be so energizing or so engaging or so

(15:38):
sold on what you're doing that even if you're not
getting your word. I've seen it. I've seen people bumble
and fumble with trying to talk about the cosmetics or
about the health supplement, and there they're laughing about it.
So they can't get the words technically right about what
do you call that? But they're so sold on the
key idea and what it does for them and how
they feel now they've been taking it. It compensates. It's

(16:00):
for the technology. Why am I sharing this with you,
I'll tell you why, because I believe that Christianity has
a practical element to it, and that you got more
of a secret weapon than you're unlocking, And that when
we talk about the Kingdom of God as righteousness and
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, so seldom do

(16:21):
we ever realize those are state management languages. That being
righteous means I don't have condemnation. I'm not walking around
depressed and afflicted and beating myself up and rehearsing over
and over again the screw ups and the failures of
the pass And how come I get righteousness actually is
a shield around condemnation. Now, if therefore there's no condemnation

(16:46):
because of the gift of righteousness, how righteous lands as
righteous as though Jesus himself was doing your audit for you.
His righteousness applied to you drives the devil crazy. That
you've got one hundred percent righteousness because of Christ. Well,

(17:07):
then what follows that peace and joy? Peace? And how
many pharmaceutical companies, how many Christians are popping pills for
peace of mind? When the greatest peace you could ever have,
that awesome fountain of perfect tranquility, comes up right up

(17:30):
from the inside. It washes over your mind. So God
has not given me a spirit of fear, but a
power and love and a sound mind, a spirit that
produces peace. And what about joy? Ah, the pills you
can take to get the endorphins flying or something. But

(17:52):
I do know this. I know the Bible promises that
the joy of the Lord is your hidden strength. That
there is a way. What if I can show you
how to manage you so that you could tap into
that inner force of peace and joy and consciousness of

(18:15):
righteousness that produces a state free from condemnation and guilt
and shame. How many people walk with a constant little
demon talking to them on their head about how unworthy
they are? Folks, Those three things that are writers, this
piece and joy are yours by virtue of the new birth.

(18:41):
If Christ is in you, then you have them.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Said.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Indeed that we live with the gold card and our
pocket and we never take it out to charge a
single thing. I told you the story before. I was
on a Philadelphia Express ride down to UH from Providence,
Rhode Island to Philadelphia go visit my parents, and I

(19:08):
got on the Assella line and it was the business
class seventy five dollars at that point, big deal. Well,
I went out to the cafe car enjoying my moment
of prosperity on the Essello line in the business class,
and the coffee was like three dollars, which back then
was like twenty five cent coffee for three dollars. Forget it,

(19:30):
and I go back and sit down at full miners.
Can't believe. Well, I'll go up and look at the water.
Three dollars for a bottle of water. Well, back then
twenty five cents for a bottle. I know, it's hard
to believe. Twenty five percent. Remember that, Mom and dad
twenty percent, twenty five cents. We're a cup of coffee,
a bottle of water. I said, now I'm not well.
After two hours of stop and start, the third hour,
stop and start. Finally, forty five minutes outside of Philadelphia,

(19:55):
I said, what the heck, lands you're in business class.
Can't you a four three dollars our cup of coffee?
What's the matter with you? But I got up. I
took my little three crispy dollar bills out and I
went up. The guy goes, h are you a business?
Let me see your ticket. I showed my business classic
and he goes, it's all free. You know what goes. Yeah,
you're a business class. You know you get your coffee,

(20:17):
your water. You're betting. Actually, any beverage you want here
is free. You're kidding me. Why how much of that trip?
Seventy five percent of my trip? I was able to
have what I wanted and didn't know what came with
the price of the ticket. I bought it and it
was free, but I never got to enjoy it because

(20:39):
I talked myself out of it. Well, the Lord said
to me, you remember that because you're you're on the
same plane, in coach or in first class. It's just
a matter of proximity. I put you in first class.
In the spirit, why don't you forget not all his benefits?

(21:02):
For forget not all his benefits, righteousness, peace, and joy
in the Holy Ghost. He will quick in in your
immortal body. And if you and if you have a
hard time believing it, this is where jumper cables come in.
Get some hands laid on, any boy somebody else that
believes it. Two are two together that believe what I'm teaching.
Our powerful broom puts some hands on. Oh Lord, pray

(21:24):
for lands right now, I pray for you. Just fill
him up, fail him up, strengthen him. Who. I remember
one time I was with Randy Clark and Bill Johnson
hide pek we were they were, they were ministrying, and
and after it was all over raised me a worship
leader back then. And Randy Clark lays down on the floor.
He says, Lance, play some Keith Green for me. He
plays some worship music. I sat down. Oh, I'm playing

(21:46):
some workman. Go what am I doing? He goes, Well,
after you pour out, you gotta fill up. I mean
I pour it out for hours. Now I'm gonna fill
He laid on the floor and got soaked it up,
soaking up that worship I thought, wooh, these guys know
some things I need to learn from them. Instead of
going back to the hotel, ex offten, turning on nightline TV,

(22:09):
go home, jolted, why don't you lay down on the
floor and let the Lord minister to you pour back
into you drained out, fill up that tank again. Then
you may say, well, that's his common sense. Yeah, well
common sense is in common practice. How many of you

(22:31):
actually do that soaking before the presence of the Lord,
when you're before you go to work, before you have
to at the end of a stressed out day, righteous
and peace and joy and the Holy Ghost coming to you.
I'd rather have my state loaded with God and be
learning the technique of how to do this or how

(22:55):
to do that, then be loaded with how to But
I show up and lessen optimal statement. Now I'm standing
over here because I hate to do this. I hate
to leave here, and they have to come back over
here against well for the sake of the next broadcast.
Only got five minutes left of this one. I pray
that you would prosper as your soul prospers. I got

(23:18):
my son over there, Carl, you're sitting over there at
the desk, look up for me where that verse is beloved.
I pray for you all that you may prosper even
as your soul prospers. Want to make surery body gets
that verse. And while we're on soul prosperity over here,
your soul would certainly be your mind. May God grant

(23:40):
to your soul, which is where your soul is wisdom.
May God grant to your soul your emotions made me
give you a healthy emotions. And may your will not
be broken, not broken down and triggered and under the
control of others and manipulated by people. May or will

(24:03):
be strong so that can line up with the will
of God. May your will be strong, a strong will,
healthy emotions, a sharp mind. Your soul must prosper. Where's
that verse, Carl.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
It's in Third John, chapter one, verse two. The New
King James version says, Beloved, I pray that you may
prosper in all things and be in health, just as
your soul prospers.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper and be in health,
even as your soul prospers. Your soul clearly in all
the words suki in the Greek, always referring to the sukiology,
or where you get the psychology from the emotions, the mind,
the memories. May your soul prosper. May God heal those

(24:50):
memories that come back and torment you. So I'm gonna
give you a quick definition of emotional intelligence. This is
EQ Daniel Gold research, which I found is more important
than an IQ. See an IQ over here. You may
have the IQ be the smartest kid in the block,
but the kid that's got EQ be the most popular,

(25:12):
sell the most and have the most fun. So the
EQ I'm going to talk about the two characteristics of
three characteristics of EQ self awareness, boom, personal responsibility, and
sustained motivation. After all the research of Daniel Goleman, doctor
Goleman on the prosperous life as a product of the soul,

(25:37):
he said, it comes down to three characteristics. And I
love it when you can find a code. Boy, when
I get a code, A code in making money a
code and scoring points a code in getting access to files.
Codes is the wisdom fast track on planet Earth. Once
you start learning patterns, you've developed codes, and so there's

(25:59):
the code to the problem for soul. Self awareness it's
the ability to recognize what's going on right now in
you and on you. See. Self awareness can can help
you step outside of your moment and go why am
I agitated? Why am I upset? Why am I sow
you fork? Right now? What is it about this that
is working? What about this moment's not working? Self awareness

(26:21):
is the ability to monitor your state and be able
to step outside. And most people are Most people are
triggered and were running down the highway with whatever emotional
state they're in. But the Bible says that will keep
him in perfect pieces mind to state on thee your

(26:42):
job is to have that extraordinary self awareness. We're going
to come back to that in the next Bible study.
But then the second part is what this ought to
give every Christian that advantage because woke culture made everybody
stupid for the last five years, and that's called responsibility.
Everybody blamed everybody else. Not my fault, it's your fault,
is your fault. Can say this is your fault because
of that, and I'm a victim. I'm a victim. I'm

(27:03):
a victim. Prompt me, I'm a victim. Victimization makes you
weak because the only way that you can ever outgrow
your capacity is when you take responsibility for what you
can have control over. Personal responsibility is the second characteristic
of Goldman's research on emotional intelligence, meaning I have one

(27:26):
hundred percent responsibility for what I'm thinking right now, I
have one hundredercent responsibility for what I'm saying. I have
a hundred percent responsibility for what I'm doing. I have
a one hundred percent responsibility for the choices that I'm making.
And what that means is I'm no longer a victim

(27:46):
because I have one hundred percent power to choose, to speak,
to think, and to act different. And then the third
thing is called s M. It's called sustained motivation. Anybody
can be excited for a day, or for an hour,
or after the seminar or when the broadcast is over.
But to be able to sustain day in and day out,

(28:09):
a tenacity of purpose, a fixedness, fixedness of focus, an
exertion boom, a relentlessness in your faith, in your words,
in your actions boom. Eventually you'll achieve the promise that
God gave you because you can sustain momentum. Those three
things self awareness, personal responsibility, sustained motivation, the essence of

(28:32):
a thousand attributes that work reduced down to three that
are in the winter circle for the prosperous soul. We're
going to talk about that. All of this is outlined
extensively in the research of Lancewalnut dot com forward slash heartbeat.
I give you all my notes and all my content.
I got tons of notes. I literally have twenty five pages.
This was going to be a college curriculum. Actually call

(28:54):
one eight hundred nine one zero six three four nine
and get a hold of the lanceform slash Heartbeat material.
The content. I think it's four trainings plus my personal
notes on how it works. It's going to all be
my college curriculm when I was doing it on peak
performance for spare filled Christians, studying the world's best and

(29:19):
decoding the secrets. We'll be back again on our next broadcast.
God Bless. Did you enjoy this latest episode.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Please remember to share it with your friends, because the
more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to
navigate the world.
