Today we're going to do something a little different that will bless your entire family. Years ago, when I pastored, I used to do these Christmas eve and Christmas day services, and we even got people saved on Christmas day! Annabelle and I will be caroling on this broadcast, so please join in with us and sing along at home. I know that His presence and anointing will surround you right where you are at. We want you to join us in celebrating and spreading the joy, so please gather with your family and friends and watch with us! Alternatively, share this invitation with someone who needs a renewal of hope in their life. Podcast #470: The Music of Christmas | get it while it's hot! Check it out at lancewallnau.com/podcast
Loved your Music of Christmas podcast. Loved the history behind the music and the music. I celebrate Yeshua’s birthday on Feast of Tabernacles but this is lovely anytime in celebration of his birth.
LANCE and ANNABELLE, I’m so glad you did this today. It is so uplifting for me personally. I know you have touched many this day. Allow me please to briefly share an early experience.
I was 14, and had begged Mama to let me take voice lessons. My teacher signed me up to sing O HOLY NIGHT in our town CHRISTMAS program. When time came for me to rise and go to the microphone—as the music began to play and I began to sing—I could hear myself and it didn’t sound like I had always sounded at practice. Something Beautiful was coming out of my mouth, and I didn’t understand. When the program was over, people were coming up to me and telling me how beautiful I could sing.
When Mama came to get me for us to go home—she hugged me and said: “You had a visit from the Holy Spirit tonight.” I said: “Mama, that couldn’t have been me singing.” She said: “The Anointing of the Holy Ghost came upon you tonight. That is what you were feeling, and why it came out so Beautiful. ” That was my first experience that I know of with HOLY SPIRIT. I can still here me singing 64 years later.
Seasons Greetings Dr and Annabelle Wallnau,
I did not know you were so gifted Dr. Wallnau. What I mean is I discovered you on Real Americas Voice. My first email to you Dr. Wallnau expressed my connection about what you report on, with Mercades, on Fire Wall. Your pod cast on 12/24/21, with your beautiful Wife Annabelle, was Festive and Holy in Spirit. I also saw your Show Christmas Day. I did not know you were so talented as to Host a “God inspired” Show. Then I read your paragraph above how you discovered Gods gift to you to sing. Ability to play piano. God Bless You Dr. Wallnau. Thank you for sharing your Hope and Prayer for “Our Family(s)” and your Audience this Christmas Season. I pray that God continues to allow “Our Family” to grow and grow by you sharing your wisdom.
Sincerely,
Michael Osterhout
Thank you, Lance, for reminding us of the God given capacity to tap into divine healing. By writing songs and expressing an individual personality through singing and playing music there’s a healing that transpires which far supersedes the false numbness any coping mechanism outside of God’s will promises but fails to deliver.
Thank you for sharing the story of Horatio Spafford penning the lyrics to “It is well with my soul” after suffering tremendous personal tragedy including the loss of his family in a shipwreck.
Undoubtedly completing those lyrics provided great victory working from the inside-out in mending his broken heart. I think too many times mankind goes about it backwards and attempts to accomplish this from the outside-in.
What a wonderful reminder of one more redeeming aspect for mankind as we celebrate the birth of the Christ Child. Your singing and keyboard work is appreciated.
And while we’re on the subject of shipwrecks — on a separate note the fact that you sometimes go live at 2 a.m. or in the middle of the night likely provides a saving grace for those despondent over the state of our nation. There may be people contemplating giving up who change their minds and discover a renewed sense of hope when God uses you to interrupt the plans of the enemy.
It’s like Admiral David Farragut engaged in battle receiving a negative report, “There are torpedoes in the water,” and his famous response paraphrased as, “Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.”
That’s the order the sailor, marine or Navy SEAL has been waiting for and they’re not getting it from the government.
I loved hearing the stories behind these great songs and your accompaniment! Must have shared it with 100 people as my texted Christmas card.. Anointed! Would love the hear more!
