Seven Mountains Prayer Points
Many years ago, the Lord spoke to Loren Cunningham (YOUTH WITH A MISSION) and Bill Bright (CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST), first separately, then He brought them together to pray through and discuss this. They were given what they called 7 “spheres of influence”, or the “7 mountains”. In every culture or society these outside influences shape the way every person thinks. These external influences are so powerful that whole countries can go one way or another: either for good or for evil. These men of God also acknowledged the fact that the Body of Christ has little to no influence in some of these spheres, where they should! It has been suggested that we need to pray for each of these “7 mountains”. This prayer guide can help you pray through each “mountain”. Covenant to pray for each “mountain” daily. Pray the Lord will raise up believers who hear the call to conquer each of these “mountains”. Pray they will take authority, not be afraid to bring in Christ to every part of their lives, will be a strong influence on those around them. The only way true revival can come is if the Lord is allowed to infiltrate every part of our lives!
