From the archive! Lance Wallnau spends a few moments going over exactly what the 7 mountains are, and what they mean for us as Christians, and taking our God-given place in the world.
Learn about the 7 mountains of influence and Christian culture in this “Lance Rewind” from the video archive.
Hello Lance
Having just recently come across you and your work, I have been inspired by what you are sharing, chiefly because you are expressing a practical, take responsibility, and do something in this physical world message. I’m a proponent of James 2:14-26
Satan works around the clock to maintain and expand his kingdom in this physical world, utilising all the possible avenues and institutions available to him, including the mind of fallen man where he hatches his plots in the first place.
I have just recently made a number of comments on your own You Tube videos and others where you spoke as a guest. (Although strangely, the comments on the latter are not appearing as yet).
Following is one of the comments I made which is an expanded version of a comment on “Trump Impeachment and Prophecy” 19 January, 2020.
“Satan has ‘evangelised’ the people on ‘the long march through the institutions’ of media, government, academia, arts, economy, science, ‘his family’, ‘his church’, creating a dystopic nation that worships him and worships mammon.
Meanwhile God’s people have been emptying the bulkheads of the Titanic with buckets. In other words, whilst they were saving souls, Satan’s impact on society was far greater than their efforts to bring people to Christ. God’s people lost the ideological war, and of influence within the greater society.
Hence now the need for a Cyrus. Cyrus came to the Israelites whilst they were in Babylonian Captivity and exile. They had been removed from Israel for repeatedly failing to keep their Covenant with God. In other words, through the Gentiles, God’s people were being chastened and rebuked.
Similarly today, Christians are now also in captivity and exile in ‘America’ the land that has now become their Babylon, due to the failure of Christians to keep and more importantly, practise God’s Covenant, and therefore America has morphed into Satan’s land. President Trump has come, and is giving you a chance to re-build your ‘temple’, the temple of true believers who keep God’s Commandments and establish a nation for God.
Yes it is up to Christians to wake up and seek God’s Kingdom first, not mammon and material wealth, as all those things will be added unto you, but America made mammon their God, and the American Dream of pursuing riches and wealth is not God’s Dream. “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”.
That Word must become a substantial reality in ourselves, the society, and nation that God wants us to build. ‘The Kingdom of heaven is in the midst of you’, not in the sky, not in the afterlife, but right here substantially in our midst beginning with individuals, couples, families, the society, nation and the world. God wants His Kingdom on earth.
As Jesus prayed, “Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is Heaven”. That is what Christians are commissioned to accomplish. America should be one nation under God, expanding out to become ‘one world under God’. “For God so loved the world”. As Jesus said, “I came to cast fire upon the earth, that it were already kindled”. Did God say to let the fire go out.
This is why people must know God’s Ideal and Purpose of Creation. Just believing in God or Jesus is not enough. We need understanding. We need to understand God’s blueprint, His logos for His Creation. Otherwise secular humanist philosophies and ideologies will sweep the people away like a burst dam.
If we can’t present a logical systematic understanding to explain the purpose of life centring on God’s Word, then our faith or belief will not be enough, just as it was for Adam and Eve when confronted by Lucifer’s false word, challenging God’s Word. Their understanding was limited, and in the face of Lucifer the Archangel of Intellect they could not counter what he was telling them as is happening today with Marxist, Socialist, Darwinist, and humanistic ideologies inclusive of ‘free sex’.
Darwin seduced many people with his theory of evolution, and many people have been seduced by the theory and culture of free sex, which is not ‘free’ at all. There is an underlying connection between these two theories of evolution and free sex as there is with gasoline and matches.
However, had Eve or Adam turned to God and asked God about what Lucifer was saying, God could have spoken to them and told them not to listen to Lucifer, and from that point Adam and Eve would have grown in their understanding of God’s Ideal and purpose of Creation. By shutting down give and take with Lucifer and focusing on God, they would have set the precedent in their own lives and future generations to seek God first and not listen to those who oppose God’s Word and then acting upon them.
Whilst you are listening to a lie and then centring your life on a lie, it becomes very difficult to know the truth, even hear the truth, as you have now become tone death to God’s Word.
Sometimes that is all that is required, stop listening to the lies, don’t entertain them, and from there, seek out God’s guidance and His Word.
Everyone is responsible to keep God’s Word not Satan’s. You don’t allow yourself to be seduced by words that seem plausible and rational, but in effect are diametrically opposed to God’s Will.
This encompasses the saying of being as ‘wise as serpents, but as innocent as doves’. Lucifer managed to turn “Don’t Eat” into “Do eat”. That was quite an accomplishment. A good lie always has a bit of truth in it, like the bait that disguises the hook.
God’s Ideal must be absolutely centred on true love. The whole of Creation exists and interacts together based on relationships from the atomic level to the celestial level. Life is predicated on relationships held together by the characteristics of mind and body, an internal character and an external form, as well as the characteristics of masculinity and femininity or in the atomic and molecular world, positivity and negativity.
In Romans 1:20 Paul said, “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse”, meaning by observing God’s Creation we can come to understand the invisible attributes of God as we can understand a painter long since deceased, by his works, or similarly an author.
Gen 1:26 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
In these Three Blessings God gave to Adam and Eve is the blueprint for God’s Ideal.
1. To be fruitful means to reach maturity or perfection as a tree when it bears fruit. That is “You must therefore be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect”, Mt 5:48, which is oneness with God. Also note the Tree of Life – “I am the true vine”. John 15
2. To multiply means to enter into Holy Matrimony and have children, making a family, hence the sanctity of marriage as explained by Jesus:
.
Mt 19:3 “And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” 4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” 7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” 8 He said to them, “For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery.”
3. To fill the earth and subdue it means to become good stewards and husbands towards nature and the creation, and to act responsibly towards it, and therefore externally establishing an ideal world through science and technology, mutual co-operation, co-existence and the common good.
Let us recall Jesus’ words to the rich man and I will finish here:
Mk 10:17 “And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.” 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
Hi Lance,
I see how these areas you’ve picked are influential, but they are not the seven mountains of Revelation 17:9. As a matter of fact, only two of the areas you mention are among the 7.
Quite frankly, I have to assume you are not referring to the seven mountains the Great Whore sits on–that’s how far off you are from the 7 mountains God created.
You’d have to get 5 right to earn a passing grade BTW. And you ought to have all 7 correct before you should be teaching about them. But oh yeah, I forgot, you’re not teaching about the 7 mountains of revelation 17:9, are you?
