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…”

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

Releasing the Anointing | Releasing the Anointing

Special guest Dr. James Tan continued his message entitled, “Releasing the Anointing.” He used Hebrews 5:14 as his text: “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Dr. James said, “This tells us there is solid food available, but it only belongs to those who are full age.” If there is full age, then that means these is a half age, or partial age, or young age. God’s goal for us is that we grow and mature into “full age.”

THE VISION IMPERATIVE, #5: The Commitment | Mac Hammond

This past weekend, Pastor Mac gave the last message in his series entitled, “The Vision Imperative.” Since it was the last message, that made it “Commitment Sunday.” He talked about commitment being the final step to whatever we need or desire from the Lord. Without commitment, he said, not much is going to happen in your life. Many people avoid commitment and, instead, are always seeking the proverbial “backdoor” of a situation. Pastor Mac said, “You can’t go through life that way. The only blessed person is a committed person.”

THE VISION IMPERATIVE, #4: What It Means to Be Blessed by God | Mac Hammond

Pastor Mac gave his fourth installment in his vision series, “The Vision Imperative.” The whole objective for this year’s vision series is designed for the purpose of setting our sails for the coming year in order to establish our goals and objectives as a local church for what God’s called us to do. And then, individually, you too must sharpen and clarify God’s vision in your own life and how it will fit into the larger vision of the local church. This is the very thing that will cause your life to “Come Alive!” After all, Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish!”

For His Kingdom, 2, Vision 2025 | Mac Hammond

Pastor Mac continued his Vision 2025 series entitled, “The Vision Imperative.” The Word of God tells us that having vision is an absolute imperative to His purposes for our lives. It’s not something we can avoid. And it doesn’t matter what a person of faith you may be, how often you come to church, or how spiritual you think you are, the Word says in Proverbs 19:18 that “without a vision, the people perish.” If you’re a person, then that’s talking about you! You need a vision for your life—a God-given vision.

For His Kingdom, 2, Vision 2025 | Mac Hammond

Pastor Mac’s first message in the vision series for this year was entitled, “The Vision Imperative.” The title underscores the vital importance of vision to your own experience of life. The vision being talked about is God’s vision for your life personally. How do you gain clarity of God’s vision for your life and then the human and financial resources to accomplish that vision?
