The Seven Mountains of Influence | Lance Wallnau
 
Recap
Lance Wallnau is well known for his revelation of the “Seven Mountains of Influence” and how these mountains of influence shape and change the world. He preached about how God is calling the church to make disciples of nations. And in order to do that, we need strong, territorial churches that are raising up believers to go out and become the “head and not the tail.” Lance basically taught on the same thing at all three services but much of the information he shared in each service differed. So in light of that, if you want to hear his full message, it would be beneficial for you to listen to all three messages.
 
Dive Deeper
 
We’re living in a time of history where God is inviting us to explore territory that is further than the map we’ve had up until how. This requires “risk taking.” Faith sometimes is risk taking. You have to step out on what God has shown you even when you don’t have all the information at the time of stepping out.
 
Right now, the Lord is giving us grace in order to recover the territory that we need to recover!
 
The seven mountains of influence are domains in which Satan literally seeks to have occupation.
 
Satan wants to have authority at the top of these institutions. To get control of these institutions, he plants people inside these institutions—people that are in agreement with him.
 
To do that, the enemy promotes his people in order to have more influence in Hollywood… more influence on Wall Street… more influence in the White House. Etcetera.
 
The enemy puts his own “counterfeit eldership at the gates” because if he can get agreement with him, he can bring hell to earth.
 
In the same way, if God can get his church to agree with Him, He can bring heaven to earth.
 
So that’s the battle!
 
The battle is at the gates. Mr. Wallnau calls this the “gates of influence.” The gates of influence are where the gates of hell target. If Satan can get a majority on the Supreme Court, they’ve got all the leverage they need to influence the rest of the substructure. For that reason, there’s always a battle over who’s at the top of the mountain, who’s at the gates of influence.
 
Read About It
 
Psalms 2:1–4, “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh…”
 
Discussion Questions
 
Do you understand the concept of the Seven Mountains of Influence?
 
Do you believe all believers are called to do their part in this great end time work?
 
Do you know what you are called of God to do? If yes, what is it?

Recent Sermon Notes

THY KINGDOM COME, #2, “Seek First the Kingdom of God” | Mac Hammond

Pastor Mac delivered the second installment of his series entitled, “Thy Kingdom Come.” The book of Hebrews says that in the end times, God is going to shake the world systems. Some things will be removed by the shaking. Things that cannot be shaken will survive. And what survives the shaking will be transformed. Regarding the world’s systems, Pastor Mac says, “If our dependence is more grounded in these worldly systems than our dependence on God, we too will be shaken.” We are in the midst of the world being shaken. It’s important we understand why the shaking is happening and what we are to do in the midst of it.

THY KINGDOM COME: There Is a Shaking Going On | Mac Hammond

Pastor Mac began his new series, “Thy Kingdom Come,” by addressing the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Calling the event one of the saddest days in our nation’s history, Pastor Mac went on to say the event, interestingly enough, fit into the subject of his message subtitled, “There’s a Shaking Going On.” He said, “A lot of us were truly shaken by what happened. But we must keep the perspective of the Bible in mind; He is not shaking things by having someone take a shot at President Trump that killed someone else.” He cautioned, “We’re going to see more and more of these things in the immediate future because we are living at the end of an age.” He continued to address the coming shaking of the world.

GRACE UNVEILED, #14, “Revelation Grace” | Jim Hammond

Pastor Jim shared the 14th installment of his series on the book of Romans, entitled “Grace Unveiled.” Revelation 5:3 was the text for the message: “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” It goes against our flesh nature, but this verse is telling us to jump for joy when you experience tribulation.

Spiritual Warfare and the Imagination | Jim Hammond and James Tan

Guest Minister James Tan joined together with Pastor Jim to tag team preach the message, “Spiritual Warfare and the Imagination.” Their message was based on 2nd Corinthians 10:3–5, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…” Pastor Jim and Guest Minister James took us step by step on how to cast down and take captive any thoughts that do not exalt the knowledge of God.

GRACE UNVEILED, #13, See Jesus in His Grace | Jim Hammond

, Pastor Jim gave his 13th installment of his series “Grace Unveiled.” Still in Romans chapter 4, Pastor Jim says if you don’t understand the message of this chapter, you will not be able to understand the rest of Romans. Chapter four makes the case that you are made righteous by His grace, not by your good works or by your good deeds. It is through faith in His grace. One must understand that His righteousness is a gift. It can’t be earned. Pastor Jim went through the chapter and carefully laid out the understanding of each verse.
