SID: Lana, they talk about the left brained people and right brained people, one are the creators, they are the logical engineer types. I have a problem. Both of them kick in with me. My logical side says, “If God wants to tell me something, He’ll just tell me something.” You found something else about God. Tell me about this lingering, as you call it.
LANA: Yeah, I had a dream one night, and all night long I heard a voice that I knew was the Lord, saying over and over again, asking a question, “Where are those who will linger?” It was all night long. As I was waking in the morning, in that kind of awake/sleep state, I remember my heart saying to the Lord, “Lord, I will linger. What are you saying about lingering?” He said, “To those who linger, I will entrust the secrets of my heart.” I woke up.
LANA: From that point on, the Lord began to speak to me about the place of positioning of lingering, that the Lord is looking for us to be people that sit with Him and just linger in His presence.
SID: What do you do that means lingering?
LANA: My lingering place looks like, it looks different every day, but mostly I will just sit with the Lord, and I will create a space where I will worship or I will soak, and I’m asking that same question, “Lord, what is on your heart? What do you want to say right now? I’m not rushing out of your presence. I’m here to know you. I want to hear your voice.” I make intentional times to actually just be with Him.
SID: Where does expectancy come to see God speaking all the time? Is that important?
LANA: Absolutely. I really believe that they’re a key to hearing God’s voice, is being expectant, is looking, I talk a lot about in my book, about looking for Him everywhere. He’s always speaking, he’s always moving. It’s my responsibility to be looking and asking the Lord to calibrate my eyes and my ears, to understand the language of the Spirit, and the ways that He’s speaking every day.
SID: It is almost like a different language. You told me you look a lot for repetition. Explain that.
LANA: Yeah, the Lord spoke to me very clearly, a couple of years ago, asking Him about understanding the language of the Spirit. He said to me, “Lana, pay attention to repetition.” I began to, my first thing I did was I prayed that the Holy Spirit would enlighten me to patterns in my life, that He would help me to see the repetitive things and the positive that was happening.
LANA: The Lord spoke to me very clearly and He said, “Lana, go and research things. Go and research. If I highlight a symbol that you don’t understand, go and look at it in the natural. Have a look at what the facts are about certain symbols. Just watch and see what I’ll do.” That’s exactly what happened to me with one particular symbol, that he kept highlighting over and over.
SID: What was that?
LANA: It was the Eiffel Tower. I was sitting in a coffee shop, and I was having a coffee with Jesus. I looked up.
SID: Stop for one sec.
LANA: Yes.
SID: Isn’t that a neat idea? Coffee with Jesus? I like that idea. I’m sorry. Go ahead.
LANA: I was sitting, having a coffee with Jesus. I looked up and there was a painting on the wall of an Eiffel Tower. I knew straight away that the Lord was highlighting it. It was like it was 3-D to me. I couldn’t stop staring at it. I thought, “That’s interesting.” I asked the Lord, I didn’t hear anything. For the next three to four weeks, I started seeing the Eiffel Tower everywhere I went. People gave me gifts of the Eiffel Tower. I didn’t tell anybody.
LANA: I sat down and I started researching on Wikipedia, and different things, and found out that the Eiffel Tower was an antenna for communication. It was used to call troops to the front line. It was rooted and grounded in the city of love. The Lord spoke to me and He said, “This is a prophetic picture, Lana, of what I’ve called you to do. You will tap into my heart and hear the sound waves of heaven, and what’s being released in my heart. Then you will take it and you will decree it. You will see my spirit awaken my people and call them to the front line, into everything that I’ve called them to be, but always rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus. The revelation of my love, that never changes, and nothing can separate them from my love.”
SID: You know something? You would have missed that, if you didn’t do the research.
LANA: That’s exactly right.
SID: I have to tell you, with all of my logic, I wouldn’t have figured out to do that.
LANA: Yeah.
SID: You know, the things that you have learned over these decades, is so important for us to understand. Literally, God is speaking to us in a heavenly dimension, and she has learned a revelation as to how we can hear this. Here she is in her home country, Australia, no interest, I mean she loves America, it’s a great country, and the good, wonderful things we’ve done, but she had as much interest in the presidential election as I have in the Australian political election. Mine is zero.
SID: All of a sudden, God starts speaking to her about it. Also, will you pray when we come back, an impartation for us to hear God’s voice?
LANA: Absolutely.
SID: Would you like that? Be right back.
