Episode Overview

This episode centers around Lance Wallnau’s prophetic outlook for 2026, blending scriptural interpretation, charismatic ministry insights, and commentary on the cultural and political climate. With a focus on “the year of the fix,” Wallnau urges listeners to sharpen their discernment, seek unity within the church, and prepare for a time of sifting and shifting within both spiritual and societal spheres.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Prophetic Ministry and Predictions for 2026

• Personal Prophecy Over Grand Predictions:
  Wallnau discusses his past as a prolific prophet and how he’s pulling back from broad, public predictions to focus on giving personal, transformative prophetic words.

  • “It’s not going to be Internet, it’s not going to be television, it’s not going to be swinging for the Babe Ruth fences… It’s going to be personal, but it’s going to change individual lives.” (03:00)

• Caution Against Gimmicky Prophetic Rhetoric:
  He critiques the tendency to assign rhyming slogans to years (“2024, the year of the door… 2026, the year of the fix”), emphasizing substance over style.

• Year of the Fix:
  Wallnau asserts 2026 will be about God bringing alignment, “fixing what is lame,” and setting things right in people’s lives, both individually and corporately.

  • “For the people that are walking with God, it’s the year of the fix. It's going to be the year in which the things were lame in your life that were putting you out of joint, get adjusted.” (04:40)

2. Sifting, Shifting, and the Call for Discernment

• Discerning Voices in the Digital Age:
  Wallnau notes how online personalities (e.g., Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson) now command more influence than many traditional Christian leaders, raising a need for intentionally discerning what and who believers listen to.

  • “You are going to experience the shifting and the sifting. You’re going to have to discern voices… Stop attaching such high value to people when they veer into areas that are messing with your biblical worldview.” (05:30)

• Malachi 3:16 and Righteous Community:
  References Malachi 3:16 as a biblical model for forming discerning, God-fearing communities amidst the multitude of voices.

• Symbolism of the Fivefold Ministry (The Hand Analogy):
  Shares a vivid illustration associating each finger with an office:

  • Prophet (pointing), Pastor (ring finger—connection/caring), Evangelist (middle—greatest reach), Apostle (thumb—governing, encompassing all functions), Teacher (smallest—“can get into your ear”).
  • “The teacher’s the one you got to watch out for. Listen to what he said. It’s really under the rest for a reason. Because that’s the one that can get into your ear. And if it can get into your ear, it can affect your mind.” (12:05)

3. The Problem of False or Unhealthy Influence

• Beware Persuasive Outsiders & Movements:
  Cautions against reliance on unbiblical or conspiratorial sources, referencing his own break with QAnon theories after identifying excesses and incorrect predictions.

  • “I was with the Q movement for a while… realized it became more and more wacky… Once January 20 happened, the Lord spoke to me and said, Biden’s in.” (16:20)

• Judging and Restoring with a Right Spirit:
  Balancing the command to discern and “judge righteously” with a humble, restorative posture, not a Pharisaical one.

4. Unity, Reformation, and the Redistribution of Resources

• Prophetic Picture of Unity & Alignment:
  Wallnau anticipates unprecedented unity across ministries—“like vertebrae aligning”—with organizations coming together to fulfill God’s purposes.

• Symbolism of Route 66:
  Sees spiritual significance in the 100th anniversary of Route 66 and the 250th anniversary of the U.S., linking it to the 66 books of the Bible and a call for believers to return to scriptural foundations.

  • “Maybe it’s the return of people to the Word that are going to have the word of God and are going to be in unity with one another.” (22:10)

• Economic ‘Fixes’ in Washington:
  He suggests that as corrupt allocation channels are shut down, resources will shift to righteous, biblically-aligned organizations, particularly those serving social needs.

  • “You’re going to see a vast redistribution of economic resources in 2026 for righteousness… if the false, the Somalians aren’t getting it… guess who does get it? Organizations that are righteous…” (25:50)

5. Israel as a Spiritual Fault Line

• Warning about Rising Anti-Semitism:
  Wallnau strongly defends Israel, seeing criticism and hostility as spiritually dangerous and “a test point.”

  • “Israel is going to be a test point. On the left, they’re going to keep turning against it… On the right, it’s happening now with anti-Semitism, the rise of Madani in New York…” (27:17)

• Intergenerational Unity and Transfer:
  Predicts unprecedented partnership between older and younger believers, emphasizing mutual empowerment:

  • “Older people will have a young anointing… Young people are going to start to age into maturity rapidly in the spiritual statesman anointing… The old handing off all they can baton, handing off, handing up, cheering them on for the next generation to go into the battle.” (51:20)

6. Judging Righteously: A Biblical Mandate

• Correcting ‘Who Am I to Judge?’ Mentality:
  Wallnau rebuffs the idea that Christians should never judge, distinguishing between self-righteous judgment and biblical discernment:

  • “If you’re going to tell me who am I to judge, you’re actually saying, I guess I’m too adolescent to be able to handle the big decisions.” (33:40)

• Scriptural Exegesis:

  • Matthew 7:1 – warns about judgmental attitude, not discernment itself.
  • John 7:24, Luke 12, 1 Corinthians 5, and Hebrews 5 – all referenced to argue that spiritual maturity requires making discerning, righteous judgments.

7. Application: How to Navigate 2026

• Find Your Tribe:
  Encourages listeners to identify and stick with communities that fear God and are aligned to biblical truth.

  • “The tribe that fears the Lord, tribe that loves America. The tribes like Charlie Kirk, courageous on the front lines, willing to debate the truth…” (31:40)

• Practical Advice:
  Urges believers to leave “chat threads” or environments that consistently convey negative or unbiblical influence.

  • “You need to figure out how not to be in that thread because all it does is every day it’s like thorns in your side and pricks in your eyes.” (44:16)

• Final Charge:
  2026 is described as the year for:

  • Discernment sharpening
  • Resourcing for righteously-aligned ministries
  • Separation from unhealthy alliances
  • Unity and revival through collaborative alignment

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Prophetic Rhetoric: “It was, unfortunately, it was mocking in a way because it might be that the words will rhyme, actually. And 24 was the year of the door. I’m not sure what people came up with for 2025… But we’re going to the 26. And I hate to say it, but for the people that are walking with God, it’s the year of the fix.” (04:20)

• On Influencers: “When you got Benny Johnson and Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Russell Brand… the dominant Internet personalities is what people are listening to. My God. They're not qualified to give you biblical insight and discern the issues of the times.” (06:25)

• The Teacher’s Danger: “The teacher’s the one you got to watch out for… Because that’s the one that can get into your ear. And if it can get into your ear, it can affect your mind. So you gotta beware of the teaching you embrace this year.” (12:10)

• On QAnon and Discernment: “I had this problem with QAnon people for a long time… it became more and more wacky… Once January 20 happened, the Lord spoke to me and said, Biden’s in.” (16:25)

• Financial Shift Prediction: “The plumbing is getting adjusted in Washington so that if the false, the Somalians aren’t getting it… That billion or two billion is there for allocation… Organizations that are righteous, righteously aligned and can handle inspection. That means you’re going to see a vast redistribution of economic resources in 2026 for righteousness.” (26:20)

• On Judging Righteously: “If you’re going to tell me who am I to judge, you’re actually saying, I guess I’m too adolescent to be able to handle the big decisions. Let’s talk about it.” (33:40)

• On Generational Partnership: “The old and the young running together. And then the old handing off all they can, baton handing off, handing up, cheering them on for the next generation to go into the battle.” (51:38)
