God delights to take people from the isolation on the periphery to a place of unexpected preeminence. God says, “It’s not about the size of who you are, it’s about who I AM and who I choose.” Your anointing has elasticity and is meant to increase over you and your environment as needed. Walk in the Spirit and the call of God will take you to the place of your ultimate assignment. The enemy cannot stop you.
Some people are pure lovers. They hate conflict. Others are pure warriors and constantly agitated with the activity of the enemy. Some are natural rulers. They focus on only those things relevant to their own enterprise. David was a strange combination, a Psalm-singing romantic, a Philistine slaying machine, and a king who unified Israel.
What happens when you combine these three in you? The convergence of these three streams is what made David a unique “type of Christ”—Jesus, the son of David. We need to recognize how these three streams are meant to flow together to strategically enlarge you and ultimately lead you to access “the key of David”!
What is the “key of David?” It is referenced in Revelation 3:7, “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: these are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David.”
The Old Testament refers to this in Isaiah 22:22 where a Prophet tells a palace official that he will be replaced by another. He said God “will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David.” The key implies authority. It speaks of control of David’s domain as promised to the Messiah. Jesus has been promised something: “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession” (Psalm 2:8).
The End Time church is found in the blueprint not of Solomon's majestic temple, but rather the “tabernacle of David.”
What does this tabernacle look like? How is the Lord working in you to make you into a David?
- The Lover: Lovers are fervent in their quest for Jesus and worship intimately in the bridal stream. They are devoted to the Lord with a desire to be in the presence of Jesus. This stream is often disengaged from the battle.
- The Warrior: Prophetic warriors have unwavering courage to dismantle the gates of hell. They know how to pray with strength and might and are watchmen at the wall. The Warrior stands for truth and courageously fights to uphold kingdom values. These are the reformers in society.
- The King: Kings know how to be statesmen and have the wisdom to choose what battles to fight. They know when and how to speak! When they speak, they do so with arguments of the spirit that the enemy cannot stop. As decision-makers and influence shapers, they have authority over demons in the territory they are called to occupy.
These three streams form a picture of a glorious End Time Church.
David had a key of intimacy that unlocked something. He accessed the future! His Tabernacle was a place of direct access to God and His throne—in an atmosphere of prophetic worship. David modeled an intimacy that could access the powers of the age to come, and bring that into the age that is now! There isn’t a problem on earth that heaven cannot solve. Will we be the generation that displays the glory of God?
Question: The “key of David” rests on the those who are Lovers, Warriors and Kings. Are you feeling the call to expand? Comment below!

P.S. Listen to the new audio series “The Lover, The Warrior, & The King” to learn more about being a David in the fullest sense required by Jesus in your day. Available at lancewallnau.com/lwk and on the iTunes store.
Hi Lance,
Great insights. I shared these basic points in my book, Kings and Kingdoms, which I gave you and which you read several years ago. I saw it as a progression we should follow. 1. Worshippers 2. Warriors 3. Kings. Intimacy is foundational and leads to a passionate desire to defend your lover and friend. Warring worshippers mature into Servant Kings, having paid the price of true friendship – the willingness to lay down your life for your friend. God bless.
I checked out your books that are available on Kindle through Amazon! So glad you posted! I look forward to reading some of them! God bless!
So all those keys you saw, so many years ago, r dropping over my head has to do with authority?
Yes I have heard the call to expand. In fact, I found you in March through the Lord and knew I had found my tribe. Same spiritual flow! God is speaking the same message to whoever has ears to hear. Rise up! Enlarge, make room, go deeper. I appreciate your platform and every message I hear confirms what the Lord is speaking to my heart. It’s time to apprehend and expand God’s kingdom in the earth. God bless you all.
Awesome, Charlana! Blessings to you!
Would like to thank you and Annabelle for sharing the real living God, you all really are a great great blessing to my life, thank you!
You are a blessing to us! Thanks for the note.
Awesome word. Activating these three streams, Lover, Warrior and King would seem to be integral to fulfilling one’s destiny. I look forward to this series.
Thanks, Bobby!
Hi you-all ! I join you as an lwk apprentice !
I strongly desire to rise up, follow our Lord & make a difference in what affects the future of our children and our grandchildren. Lets work together @ the dormant truth and hope which are there for the asking ! GOD can reach through me if I just believe, obey & persevere in every step of faith – whether it looks like success or major failure. The story of what happened at Harward, at the UN, with the guards & prison inmates
and with ladies who persevere at writing curriculum material are unique and inspiring. I’m so glad some teachers have tangible results outside of the church culture and specially like to think witches are encouraged and find hope !

Yep- I am – MOST Definitely…….& I feel like all three in one except that I now feel like a Queen
What you shared with all of us is a perfect description of Jesus…when HE walked the earth HE was a living illustration of the invisible God. By constantly glorifying His Father, He not only honored Him, He also gave the world a reason to believe in His reality. We are to do the same… Walking in Agape, warring in the Spirit and applying His authority and power so we can be those overcomers (faithful, obedient and persevering believers). Thank you Lance for your faithfulness and Love to all of us… You truly have been called to disciple and encourage the end time army… Agape
Yes….Jesus is the ultimate Lover, Warrior and King…good word, Debbie!
Great word Lance; thank you. I had a dream/vision a few years ago; this stirs that memory. While I was in my bed during the night, two very tall, muscular angels carried a solid rectangular shaped object of pure gold into my room, sitting it down at the foot of my bed. It was much higher and massive then the end of the bed and the angels were definitely very dutiful and reverential. When I searched for objects comparable to the image the Ark of the Covenant came up; that was the object but the angels were not on it, they carried it to me. I have never forgotten it and that image is branded into my memory. We are chosen for this time, entrusted with much, and not alone. It’s about to get REAL INTERESTING for those who’ve been prepared for this day!! 🙂 Can’t Wait!!
Appreciate you and Annabelle and praying for your entire family.
Dawn
Thanks for sharing that vision, Dawn! We are definitely entrusted with much. Your prayers are appreciated!
Thanks Dr Lance. What a great insight. This is what I believe I have been looking for.
So glad this post was timely for you!
