“The Anointing is on You for Your Assignment!” says Lance Wallnaul Advancing the Kingdom of God by Conquering the 7 Mountains of Culture!
Jesus called us to transform our culture. No matter what culture we are in, or what culture we desire to impact for Jesus Christ, everyone has seven areas of influence that can also be called “Mountains”: Family, Religion (Church), Government, Arts & Entertainment, Media, Education, and Business. When we begin to understand how each of these areas affect culture, we can begin to understand why we have been placed where we are to most effectively use our gifts and talents for the Kingdom of God. But, the big question is, how do we do this? Lance Wallnau addresses these very realities as to how to impact culture. This is the essence of VFN Kingdom Business!
When we look at our present society, we can easily recognize that not all the areas of culture are moving in accordance with the Kingdom of God. This is because of who is at the top of each of these mountains. Wallnau points out how God chose Saul to come against the existence of the Philistines in Israel. Applying this to ourselves, he points out, “The anointing is on you to command. The command is on you for the assignment; and the assignment that God has, is for you to deal with the darkness.” For too long, we have thought that the Church belongs within the four walls on Sunday mornings while we neglect the existence of every other place in culture, every other day of the week. “You’ve got to go where the devil is working to destroy it.”
It’s important to recognize how God works. He doesn’t always move in accordance with our expectations and surely not our own timelines. How does He? Wallnau describes it perfectly by saying, “When God is about to move, what does He send? Send a revival? No, He sends a person carrying revival. Think about this. God doesn’t send deliverance, He sends a deliverer.” It’s important to understand that God uses people to bring about His plans and that He has a plan for each and everyone of us. Often times, the Church has gotten focused on the anointing of God while forgetting what the purpose of the anointing is for. “The anointing is on you for an assignment.”
When we begin to look at where God has placed us, we can begin to put the pieces together of how God desires to use us for His purposes. Wallnau shares from his own journey about learning these very realities. The first time the prophetic anointing fell upon him, he was in a boardroom full of corporate executives; or as Wallnau describes it, “unsaved, heathen, business people”. It wasn’t exactly the same environment as a Sunday morning. It happened moments before he was to give a presentation to the Vice President of the company. In his own confliction, Wallnau shares, “I’m getting up to give a presentation like Joseph on what the company needs to do to prosper in the future…I’m feeling the anointing, cause when we have the anointing, where I grew up…there was a particular style of prophetic.” He even shares about the intricate dialogue he had with himself while realizing this “particular style” wasn’t probably going to be well received by these “businessmen”. “The anointing is on me and I’m prophesying out exactly what they have to do….and when I got done, the vice president of the company…he stood up, giving an applauding, standing ovation...” There is so much applicable wisdom that the Church can learn from when we begin to apply the very lessons that Wallnau has learned in his own life. We think that we must know all of the answers before we even attempt to try. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. “You don’t have to know what you’re doing, you have to always act like you know what you’re doing.”
