The Seven Mountains
Take this as a sign. When I was praying at 3:00 this morning – I could not get to sleep – and I went to pray and God spoke to me and said to me, "By the tenth month the waters would have decreased. The tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen." Please listen to me. You're saying, "Kim, does this mean October?" I don't know what it means. All I know is when I was praying He said, "Take note of the tenth month," and He said, "What happened on the first day of the tenth month was the tops of the mountains were seen. The breakthrough would have happened by October."
The breakthrough for many of you would have taken place through the summer and your mountain would have been conquered – whatever is in your life that’s been holding you back – and the tops of the mountains will be seen. What does that mean? The mountain you will possess, the mountain that will save you, the mountain that will rescue you, will be seen. You will see it this year! Yeah! You’re going to see it this year! By Kim Clement 1-7-12
Deuteronomy 7:1 (New King James Version) "When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you,
In essence, God was saying, “I have this place of incredible blessing for you, a large land, a good land, a land that flows with milk and Honey; but the enemy that is presently there is impossible for you to overcome.
They are bigger and stronger than you.”
Israel had been promised abundant living at every level, but the promise comes in spite of a seemingly insurmountable obstacle.
For us, this promise translates into abundant living in body, soul, and spirit; abundance in the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
It is an Isaiah 60:1 Phenomenon; great darkness on the nations but glory coming upon us.
Deuteronomy 7:17-2317 "If you should say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?'-- 18 you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20 Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed. 21 You shall not be terrified of them; for the Lord your God, the great and awesome God, is among you. 22 And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed.
God warned His people not to be terrified by the assignment because they would surely accomplish the mission if they committed to it.
They just had to be convinced that he had promised a better day for them.
The taking of the Promised Land is to be prophetically applied to our generation.
Isaiah 2:2-3 (New King James Version)2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the Lord's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. 3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
This speaks of a coming day when the Lord’s mountain of power and authority would be established above all other mountains and hills.
At this time, God will exalt those who are willing to believe Him for the impossible, and nations will flow to God’s Kingdom, saying “teach us His ways.”
The elements of culture that make up every nation can be described as seven mountains.
When the church loses its influence in the seven mountain of society, it fails to advance the kingdom of God .
God’s plan since the beginning of time was for the righteous to impact culture, not for culture to impact the church.
Every born-again person is called to a place of influence in at least one of the seven mountains of culture. |
