The following is the history and details regarding The Seven Mountains of Influence

What Are the Seven Mountains of Influence?
In the mid-1970s God drew two visionary leaders together for a luncheon meeting in Colorado. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission,were those men. As they came together each felt the Lord was revealing an important strategy necessary for impacting nations and cultures in such a manner as to initiate true transformation of a society.
Little did they know they both had received the same insights. Indeed, a few weeks later in Switzerland, theologian Francis Schaeffer was to receive the identical revelation. The message was simple but profound: To impact all of a culture, people, or nation with the totality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, every major sphere of influence had to be impacted.
More specifically, this involved seven clearly defined spheres, or as some have come to define them, the Seven Mountains of Influence.
These seven major areas (or mountains) of influence in our
global societies are primary prayer focuses.
day.
The seven spheres include:
1. The Church (Religion)
Pray for the Holy Spirit’s anointing on all churches no matter their denomination. Pray for ministries involved in evangelism and discipleship including foreign missionary activity. Pray for all faiths and religions, that they will see the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray that Christians will be bold in their witness.
2. Family and Marriages (Youth, Children, Marriages, etc.)
Pray for families in general, and particularly the healing of broken relationships in marriages and families, especially among believers and those in Christian ministry. Pray for the sanctity of marriage. Pray against cultural influences that diminish the value of marriage and family.
3. Education (All Schools, Universities, Colleges, and Educators)
This focus involves all institutions of education, whether for the very young, when children are so easily influenced, or those studying at higher levels. Pray for teachers and educators. Pray for those you know
by name. Add them to your daily prayer lists for each day. Pray also for the content of textbooks so they will reflect biblical values. Ask God to send a revival to all campuses.
4. Business (The Marketplace)
This focus involves praying for a spiritual awakening in the
marketplace. Pray especially for Christian businessmen and women that God will use them to influence others in their professions. Pray for major corporations, that they will build their companies on a foundation of high moral and ethical standards.
5. Government (Local, National, and International)
Pray for heads of your local, state, and national government. Remember especially to intercede for the judiciary (judges) of your nation and the nations of the world. Include the military and law enforcement as well as other service officials, such as firefighters and civil servants.
6. Media (The Press, Television, and Internet)
Ask God to cause all aspects of the media and information
technology to become a tool in His hands to change the culture around us for His honor and glory. Pray that the influence of the Internet and social networking will be used by Christians to capture a new generation of young believers. Pray that Christian values and ethics will find their way into all aspects of the media.
7. Arts and Entertainment (Including Sports)
This focus includes all those in any field of the arts or entertainment including sports. Some have defined this sphere as the “celebration†sphere because it takes many such aspects into consideration. Ask God to use the influence of those who know Him in these arenas so they
might impact many around them. Pray for entertainers or athletes you know by name who have a strong Christian testimony. Ask God to expand their influence.
Yes....I’ve read ALL about it. Thanks.
Do you subscribe to this theory? TIA.
Glenn Beck is a 7 Mountains believer, as is David Barton and Ted’s dad....
Maybe that’s why Barton is over CRuzPACs and Beck is traveling with/advising/placing the oath of office on CRuz.
I have long admired Dr Dobson, so I’ll not say anything against the man. I think he endorsed too early and will have to do so again after Trump wins.
Perhaps he, too, doesn’t believe in political conversion. That’s okay. We’re not talking about the new birth in Christ.
Yet, I do think a person can change their viewpoint on other things.
Actually, Trump isn’t a convert. He’s a reclaimed backslider from Reagan blue-collar conservatism.
[7 Mountains believer]
They are 7 prayer areas. Every believer should pray for churches, education, families, business, military, schools, and government
They are prayer points.
I’m a regional coordinator for National Day of Prayer, which utilizes these prayer points for the National Day of Prayer Services.
The prayer points transcends denominations, faiths, or people. They are prayer points.
[7 Mountains believer]
They are PRAYER POINTS - areas of prayer.
It has nothing to do with denominations or individuals.
I'm just curious, after reading your posts.
[And what Christian sect are YOU a member of?]
I’m Pentecostal, but have ministries that encompass most evangelical denominations.
Would mind tell me just WHICH sects are now considered to be “evangelical” ? I want to make certain that I understand which ones are and which ones aren’t, according to you. THANKS.
I believe the Bible is the inerrant WORD of GOD. I’m pro-life, believe marriage is between a man and a woman, saved by the grace of GOD, my sins are forgiven by the blood of JESUS, and there is a heaven and a hell.
What are YOU?
I'm high church Methodist; the kind that John and Charles Wesley were.
[You didn’t answer my question. Please try again. THANKS.]
You tell me. Apparently you have a list.
Oh goody, another pastor jumpa on the Dominionist train. That should be a winning strategy in the general election.
