THE 7 MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE

Yesterday I closed off the blog post by saying that I’ll see you on the “money mountain.” Allow me to explain:

There are 7 mountains or spheres of influence (some people call them the 7 pillars of society). From what I can tell, Lance Wallnau coined the phrase “seven mountain mandate,” and even though I have not listened to his teaching about it, I have read where he said that “Christians are not currently influencing society outside the church.”

He teaches that Christians have left the mountains susceptible to the gates of hell and that the Church should be occupying those spaces. That makes sense to me. But to occupy them we need to know that they’re there, what they are, and how to occupy them.

I have alphabetized these mountains to make it easier for me to remember all 7. Here they are:

There are mountains of:

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT (THAT INCLUDES SPORTS)

BUSINESS

EDUCATION

FAMILY

GOVERNMENT

MEDIA

RELIGION (THE CHURCH).

The “money mountain” comes from the BUSINESS MOUNTAIN. This mountain includes small businesses, entrepreneurs, business owners, mom-and-pop shops and stores, large conglomerates, LLCs, sole proprietorships, corporations, partnerships, etc. If you have a business, own a business, run a business, have a partnership in a business, or own a lot of shares in a business - then you’re already a part of the mountain of business that has to do with money.

We are all a part of one or more mountains without even realizing it. Do you work in a school in any capacity? That’s the EDUCATION mountain. Do you work or are you a part of anything having to do with the federal/city government? That’s the GOVERNMENT mountain. How about college sports, or professional sports? Or are you a singer, musician, actor, or another artist? That’s the ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT mountain (that includes sports).

Anything having to do with the Church/the body of Christ - whether you work for a church or ministry, or you are a volunteer or a member - that‘s the mountain of RELIGION. You’re on the MEDIA mountain if you work for/with the media: TV, radio, internet relations etc. Then there’s the FAMILY mountain that we are all a part of - ruling and reigning in Christ with our families and against the enemy! 🙌🏾

The way we maximize our place as Christians on any of the mountains, and the way to dominate mountains instead of letting the enemy dominate - is to be Christlike, to love our neighbors, to live according to the Word of God, to do our best and be our best wherever we are as ambassadors of Christ!

If you’ve got questions about any of the above, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE HERE! Have an awesome day!🤎
