Reflection:
“Seven Mountains” is a song about the influential spheres of society: government, religion, media, family, education, arts & entertainment, and business. Isaiah 2:2-4 speaks of all nations streaming to the mountain of the Lord, symbolizing the ultimate influence of God’s kingdom over all areas of human society.
Matthew 5:13-16 encourages believers to be salt and light in the world, which is particularly relevant for intercessors as they pray for God’s values and principles to permeate these seven mountains.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 exhorts us to pray for those in authority in all spheres, emphasizing that such prayers are pleasing to God and are key for societal peace and the spread of the gospel.
Jeremiah 29:7 instructs us to seek the welfare of the city (or society) in which we live, for in its welfare, we find our welfare. This is a powerful principle for intercessory prayer, as it underscores the importance of praying for the holistic health and prosperity of our societies.
Application:
Consider each of the seven mountains and spend time praying for each sphere. Seek God’s guidance on how to pray effectively for each area, asking for His kingdom to come and His will to be done in these domains. Pray for leaders and influencers in each sphere, that they would be guided by wisdom, integrity, and a heart for justice.
Prayer:
“Father, I lift up the seven mountains of influence in our society to You. May Your kingdom principles reign in government, religion, media, family, education, arts & entertainment, and business. Raise up godly leaders and influencers in each sphere, and use them to bring about transformation and Your righteous purposes. Help us to be salt and light, impacting our culture for Your glory. Amen.”
This devotion is aimed at providing a comprehensive and strategic framework for intercessory prayer concerning the key areas of societal influence. Adaptations can be made to make the devotion more specific to your context or to emphasize particular aspects relevant to your intercessory group.
Lyrics
Seven Mountains
(Isaiah 2:2)
Verse 1
On the mountains high, where the world takes shape,
In the halls of power, in the market’s landscape.
In the classrooms bright, in the family’s heart,
In the media’s might, where the arts impart.
Chorus
Seven mountains stand, under Heaven’s hand,
In each domain, let Your grace expand.
As the nations stream to the mountain of the Lord,
In Your grace, we unite, in one accord.
Verse 2
In the courts and chambers, where decisions are born,
In the sacred halls, where beliefs are sworn.
On stages and screens, where stories unfold,
In businesses and banks, where futures are told.
Bridge
Raise us up, Lord, on these mountains stand,
Guide our hands with Your command.
Let Your light, in us, be seen,
In every sphere, let Your love convene.
Chorus
Seven mountains stand, under Heaven’s hand,
In each domain, let Your grace expand.
As the nations stream to the mountain of the Lord,
In Your grace, we unite, in one accord.
Outro
In every action, in every word,
In Your grace, let our voices be heard.
On these mountains high, in Your love, we trust,
In Your grace, we stand, righteous and just.
