Devotion for “Seven Mountains”

(Isaiah 2:2)

Scriptural Foundation:

      • Isaiah 2:2-4
      • Matthew 5:13-16
      • 1 Timothy 2:1-4
      • Jeremiah 29:7

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.

      Devotion for “Whispers of Grace”

      (1 Kings 19:12)

      Scriptural Foundation:

          • 1 Kings 19:11-13
          • Psalm 46:10
          • James 4:8
          • Isaiah 30:15

      Reflection:

      “Whispers of Grace” reflects on the intimate and gentle ways God speaks to us, often in a still, small voice, as experienced by Elijah in 1 Kings 19:11-13. This passage invites intercessors to find God not only in the grand and dramatic but also in the quiet and subtle.

      The Psalmist’s admonition in Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God,” is a powerful reminder of the importance of quietness and stillness in our relationship with God. It’s in these moments that we can truly listen and discern His whispers of grace.

      James 4:8 encourages us to draw near to God, with the promise that He will draw near to us. This nearness is often most palpable in our moments of quiet solitude with the Lord, where the distractions of the world fade, and His presence becomes more evident.

      Isaiah 30:15 highlights the strength found in quietness and trust. For intercessors, this is a vital principle, as it reminds us that true strength in prayer comes from a place of restful trust in God, not in frantic or loud petitions.

      Application:

      Dedicate time to be still in God’s presence, listening for His gentle guidance. In your intercessory prayer time, focus on quietening your heart before the Lord, allowing His whispers of grace to guide and inform your prayers. Reflect on how God has spoken to you in the past during these quiet times and seek to cultivate a deeper sensitivity to His voice.

      Prayer:

      “Lord, in the stillness of Your presence, let me hear Your whispers of grace. Teach me to be still and know that You are God. As I draw near to You, reveal Your heart to me, guiding my prayers and my steps. In the quiet, let me find Your strength and peace. Amen.”

      This devotion is crafted to deepen the intercessor’s experience of God’s presence in quiet moments, encouraging a practice of listening prayer that values stillness and attentiveness. Modify this devotion as needed to resonate more deeply with your specific spiritual practices and insights.

              (Luke 22:41-44)

              Scriptural Foundation:

                  • Luke 22:41-44
                  • Philippians 2:5-8
                  • Isaiah 53:3-5
                  • Hebrews 5:7-9

              Reflection:

              “Kneeling at Gethsemane” brings us into the heart of Jesus’ human struggle and divine submission. Luke 22:41-44 is a powerful depiction of Christ’s vulnerability and obedience, showcasing the depth of His love and the cost of our redemption.

              This passage invites intercessors to reflect on the nature of true submission to God’s will. It challenges us to consider the depth of our own commitment to God, even in the face of suffering or uncertainty.

              Philippians 2:5-8 emphasizes the humility of Christ, who, being in very nature God, took on human likeness and humbled Himself to the point of death. This is a profound example for intercessors, calling us to a similar posture of humility and obedience in our intercessory role.

              Isaiah 53:3-5 prophesies the suffering of Christ and the purpose behind it – our healing and peace. As intercessors, understanding the sacrificial love of Jesus deepens our compassion and fervor in prayer for others.

              Hebrews 5:7-9 speaks of Jesus’ prayers and cries for help, and how He was heard because of His reverent submission. This teaches intercessors the power of reverent submission in prayer, acknowledging that true power in intercession comes from aligning with God’s will.

              Application:

              Reflect on your own prayer life in light of Jesus’ example at Gethsemane. Are there areas where you need to submit more fully to God’s will? Spend time in prayer, seeking to align your heart with God’s purposes, and interceding with a spirit of humility and obedience. Use Jesus’ prayer at Gethsemane as a model for your own prayers, especially when faced with difficult situations or decisions.

              Prayer:

              “Father, in the garden of Gethsemane, Your Son showed us the ultimate example of submission and trust. Help me to follow in His footsteps, surrendering my own will for Yours. In my prayers, let me reflect Jesus’ humility and obedience, trusting in Your perfect plan and timing. Amen.”

              This devotion is designed to deepen the intercessor’s connection with Christ’s experience at Gethsemane, encouraging a prayer life marked by deep submission and alignment with God’s will. Feel free to tailor this devotion to better fit the spiritual journey and needs of your intercessory group.

              Lyrics

              Kneeling at Gethsemane

              (Luke 22:41-44)

              Verse 1

              In the garden’s silent shade, under olive trees You prayed,
              Heavy lies the weight of sin, the cup of suffering begins.
              “Father, let this pass,” You plead, yet surrendered to the need,
              For mankind, You chose to bear, the crown of thorns You’d wear.

              Chorus

              Kneeling at Gethsemane, You embraced Your destiny.
              Love’s greatest sacrifice, for us, You paid the price.
              In agony and prayer, You showed Your deepest care,
              Kneeling at Gethsemane, You set the captives free.

              Verse 2

              Underneath the moon’s soft glow, Your sweat like drops of blood did flow.
              Anguish for the coming pain, yet Your love remained the same.
              For every soul, every heart that’s torn, for every sin, You have borne,
              In that garden, You chose to say, “Not My will, but Yours, I obey.”

              Bridge

              In Your surrender, we find strength,
              In Your pain, our redemption’s length.
              In Your tears, our hope is born,
              On that night, our salvation dawned.

              Chorus

              Kneeling at Gethsemane, You embraced Your destiny.
              Love’s greatest sacrifice, for us, You paid the price.
              In agony and prayer, You showed Your deepest care,
              Kneeling at Gethsemane, You set the captives free.

              Outro

              In the garden’s quiet plea, the depth of grace, we come to see,
              Kneeling at Gethsemane, where love met our eternity.

                  Devotion for “Mountain Mover”

                  (Matthew 17:20)

                  Scriptural Foundation:

                      • Matthew 17:20
                      • Hebrews 11:1-3
                      • James 2:17-18
                      • Isaiah 54:10

                  Reflection:

                  “Mountain Mover” is a song that highlights the transformative power of faith, even as small as a mustard seed, to move mountains. Matthew 17:20 not only speaks of the potency of faith but also implies the partnership between our faith and God’s power.

                  For intercessors, this scripture is a call to believe in the supernatural intervention of God in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It challenges us to see beyond the physical to the potential of what can be achieved through prayer and faith.

                  Hebrews 11:1-3 provides a broader understanding of faith, defining it as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This definition is vital for intercessors, as it underpins the essence of intercessory prayer – praying with conviction for outcomes yet unseen.

                  James 2:17-18 reminds us that faith is demonstrated through action. As intercessors, our prayers are actions of faith, actively participating in God’s work in the world.

                  Isaiah 54:10, with its emphasis on the enduring nature of God’s covenant of peace, can be a comforting assurance for intercessors, especially when praying over tumultuous situations or ‘mountains’ in the world.

                  Application:

                  Reflect on the ‘mountains’ in your life or the lives of those you intercede for. Spend time in prayer, declaring your faith that these mountains can and will be moved. Let your prayers be filled with the confidence of Hebrews 11:1-3, trusting in God’s promises and power. Seek to actively demonstrate your faith in practical ways, as a response to what you are praying for.

                  Prayer:

                  “Lord, I believe in Your mighty power to move mountains. Increase my faith to trust in Your sovereignty over every challenging situation. May my prayers reflect a firm belief in Your ability to transform, heal, and restore. Teach me to act in faith, as a living testament to Your promises. Amen.”

                  This devotion is intended to bolster faith and encourage dynamic and faith-filled intercession. Adjustments can be made to cater to the unique perspectives and spiritual insights of your intercessory group.

                      Ezekiel 47:1-12 describes a river flowing from the temple, bringing life wherever it goes. This vision is a powerful symbol of the life-giving and transforming power of God’s presence and grace, relevant to intercessors as we pray for revival and healing in our communities and nations.

                      Revelation 22:1-2 presents the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. This imagery encapsulates the ultimate fulfillment of God’s grace and mercy in the new creation, inspiring hope and perseverance in our faith and intercession.

                      Application:

                      Reflect on the ways God’s grace has been like a river in your life – sustaining, refreshing, and giving life. In your intercession, pray for this river of mercy to flow into the areas of brokenness, dryness, and need in your community and the world. Ask God to make you a channel of His grace, bringing His life-giving presence wherever you go.

                      Prayer:

                      “Heavenly Father, thank You for the river of Your mercy that flows from Your throne. Let this river flow through my life, bringing Your healing, refreshing, and life-giving grace to every area of dryness and need. Help me to be a conduit of Your mercy, sharing the living water of Christ with those around me. Amen.”

                      This devotion is designed to deepen the intercessor’s understanding and experience of God’s grace as a dynamic and life-sustaining force. Feel free to adapt the devotion to better suit your specific spiritual insights and the needs of your prayer community.
