I was so excited when the Lord told me He was restoring Eden. I just didn’t know where it fit in—because I teach so much on the Seven Mountains.
It seemed as if the Lord was saying, “Every single person has a mountain to take but the starting point is in the sphere that you currently occupy.”
Your home and your family is at the heart of your Eden.
My wife has been telling me that I have the wrong order for my mountains! I’ve always started with the church, but now I see that she is right.
The family mountain is first! God put a family in a garden and in that garden formed an ecclesia—a place where two or more could gather together in the presence of the Lord—and expand the boundaries of their dominion.
I want to encourage you to think about Eden. Here are three things that are a revelation to me:
- God has given you “authority” over the garden. You MUST know about the authority you have been given, and use it! A serpent will always try to get into the garden. If he can’t stop you on the outside, the devil will try to corrupt you on the inside and negate your power to expand.
- The serpent has many disguises. America was once a well-watered garden—but the serpent got in and now it is a nation being torn apart by two seeds growing to maturity: one will produce life and the other will produce death. I wish it were otherwise, but Christians are needed to discern spirits more in this next season, than any other time before. This year the Church and Christian families are being targeted by radical, well-funded strategists. These influencers see the “soft underbelly” of Christianity as the critical swing factor in the election. Believers now, more than ever, are the factor that will determine the future of America's garden.
- Always war from the garden out! The secret to victory is to make sure God’s Spirit is ruling over your territory—first in your heart, then home, then work space.
The garden is a place that God has assigned you to. It is therefore part of your jurisdiction in the Spirit. In the garden, you have authority to establish a kingdom embassy. This is where the presence and peace of God rules. You expand from there. Watch what happens!
I see THREE battlegrounds you need to focus on:
- Your nation
- Your house and family
- Your finances and business
I feel, now more than ever, the need to bring together a panel of experts to speak, train, and activate you— and me.

As One!
Lance
Lance,
Are you going to do web participation for this event like you did for the Cabo Dream trip?
I can’t come to Dallas that weekend, but I sure would like to have the opportunity to watch this and have it to replay and absorb the information.
Thanks
Hi, Kathi! Yes, we will have a livestream. Make sure you’re subscribed to emails so that you will be notified when the times comes. Details and pricing will be available soon. Hope you can join us!
Lance, my wife is always right too.
Satan will try to ruin our family lives and undermind our authority and influence in another mountain. I found this scripture in your post from September 2014, I Timothy 3:5 “But if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God.”
Thanks for the comment, Paul! Too true.
I think we all are experiencing a shift whether we acknowledge it is another thing. My first shift is in my thinking and my response applying God’s word to every breath and learning to live like a soldier as well as a daughter of the king. Second is the shift of preparing a spiritual and financial legacy to share with my family and the body of Christ and then the nation. How? Prayer connection weekly with inner circle partners, 2. Connecting family by identifying which mountain they operate from and using that information to form a business network. I am not a biz person so any feedback would be helpful. I am a family mountain person.
That’s great, Camille! Thanks for the comments. Praying for guidance and wisdom, and supernatural creativity as you catch the vision of what the Lord has for you and your family.

The church that we know today is becoming ineffective and irrelevant. Its been ineffective for a long time but almost becoming irrelevant to kingdom purposes God has been trying to accomplish on this earth for more than 6,000 years. We need to go back to Eden as you said. Adam did not fall from heaven. He did not loose heaven when he fell. Jesus came to redeem, restore and save that which was lost. If we truly believe Jesus did His job well then we need to operate as Adam did before the fall. The church has been hi-jacked by religious spirit for a long time. Thats the greatest hi-jack in history of human kind. We lost the kingdom mindset. Adam lived and operated like a king. The Last Adam Jesus did the same. God is in the process of bringing up Ekklesia’s around the world (the real church). These small groups, who operates with a kingdom mindset will do great exploits in government, economy and religious mountains. Through these Ekklesias He will execute His kingdom purpose on earth, until the enemy’s of Jesus are brought as His footstool. Nothing will be able to stop these Ekklesias. Governments, armies or any forces of hell will not a problem to God’s governing body on earth.
Blessings upon you Min. Wallnau, this is so true to the seeking Believers who have asked for fresh rain of the Spirit of Christ. Thank you and your wife for sharing how vital it is to understand the authority that is locked in Grace for the salvation package is rich in mountains and land to be fully enjoyed by His Body.
Please keep seeking and sharing.
Asst Pastor Davis ?
Thanks for the feedback, Pastor Davis!
Hi Lance, I saw you at the morning star Europe in Chester. What you said really spoke to me. I am an ex sniper and I know that God is working in me. I have gone on a few evangelist missions, often teaching and I am also a teaching assistant in a school now. I have however experienced a pull towards other things. I am not sure if its the enemy pulling me off course or the call of God?? It’s very hard to say.
Neil, thanks for the comments! Praying for discernment as you evaluate your next steps. Remember that you hear the Shepherd’s voice clearly. He will show you. Perhaps you are meant to walk in several spheres at once. Blessings on your life and ministry!

Yes, there is a huge shifting in the Spirit realm. A great stirring, an awesome rumbling, as if events long awaited are coming and all of creation is stirred up. We are taking dominion over our house, land, animals first. Then, we expanded to the neighbors by teaching them how to set godly boundaries over their land. (Working on family). Then we expanded to our neighborhood. God then placed us (much to our chagrin) over our county. We are taking ground wherever our feet tread. We are not always totally victorious at each encounter, but losing a battle doesn’t mean you lose the war. We have so much to learn, but trust the Lord will teach us as we go. There is a shifting in getting rid of things and focusing on learning new tactics and authority. Believe it or not, the Lord is teaching us about true authority and learning to walk in calm assertiveness through our 2 young German Shepherds. They are very different from other dogs we’ve had. They will not respect weakness, lack of assertiveness or love without boundries. We are in a very different kind of training than we ever could have imagined. On many fronts too. God is so good to us! AS ONE!
God is teaching me to war from a totally selfless position. 21 years ago i was in a very wounded position. My husband proclaimed that he just didn’t love me anymore. Being 7 mos with child I was broken and discovering the truth of another woman I became self centered with pain. I lost that battle. At that time God had shown me that it was first healing in the family..then city..then state..nation ..to the entire world. But the injustice and pain became my focus. Recently God gave a second chance…not to restore that marriage …but to bring healing to the entire family. The man I had married was a widower with 9 children. At the funeral of the oldest child this year I found out that the children wanted me there.A few months later at the funeral of the youngest and her son I saw broken children and even my ex and girlfriend…(now married). So I poured out love by the grace of God…and brought much healing to a broken family. Even hugged my exs wife and told my ex that we adults needed to show love so the children could heal. The older children had never accepted ex’s wife, but seeing me forgive and hug her helped them stop hating her. So finally. .. A victory! Getting myself out of the way allowed brought healing that was a long time overdue. Some may not see that as a victory as I never remarried…but God replaces multiplied…..and to truely see the victory of battle we must look from the top of the mountain! One on one battle is sometimes blood and pain. But a Godly view will show you the victory.
Ruby, thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony! It’s a reminder of the power of forgiveness and God’s restoration in families. May there be even deeper healing in your family!
Love it, Love you…Love The Garden talk!! My Dream for over 17 years. The Garden family life center..Where Ministry and OJT meet! I’d love to share it with you one day. It’s based on everything you just said!! When he called me and drew my attention Jeremiah Chapter 1 saying “He knew mean called me”..drew my attention was fixed forever on verse Jeremiah 1:10,
“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To uproot and break down, (Bring them to Christ)
To destroy and to overthrow, (Kill the sacred cows of religion)
To build and to plant.” (Renew their mind -Deploy into destiny!)
This is exactly what the nature of my calling is the 5R’s! Receive them, Reconcile them, Restore them, Rebuild them..then send them out of the Garden to Replant them!!
It’s no wonder God connected me to your ministry! I’m training now and added most all the & 7MU material and I’m now going to do the “dashboard”! This is my sphere and passion and it producing great fruit with my “DreamCasters” Seminar! And for the readers here..we’ve sown seed as well into this awesome man of God and his family and will continue to do so..you should too! Thanks Lance ..I love appreciate and respect you dearly!
This is right on target. I am activating this in my realm of influence! Thanks Lance!
Awesome, Joy!
