Media Mountain
The media mountain includes news sources such as radio, TV news stations, newspapers, Internet news and opinion (blog) sites, etc. This mountain also includes social media. Media has the potential to sway popular opinion on current issues based upon its reporting, which is not always truthful or accurate.
We praise the Lord for the rise in Christian news services. However, to bring transformation to the mountain of media, Christians who are gifted for and called into this type of work must be willing to report righteously and truthfully in the secular marketplace. We need spirit-filled believers who are empowered to bring His Kingdom to this area of influence as it is in Heaven.
1st Prayer Point: Pray for The Church to be champions of hope and unity throughout the media industry.
Philippians 4:8 (HCSB)
8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable-if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise-dwell on these things.
- Pray that this scripture becomes the guiding philosophy of those working in this mountain of influence and also for every believer who posts on any of the social media platforms.
- Pray for the goodness of God to be made known through media.
- Pray that the media industry in America will declare what is right and begin to bring healing to our nation with their words.
Proverbs 12:17-18 (HCSB) Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness, deceit 18 There is one who speaks rashly, like a piercing sword; but the tongue of the wise [brings] healing.
- Pray for media professionals to have the wisdom and insight to highlight stories of hope, kindness, and positive transformation. Help them shine a light on the good happening in the world, providing a source of inspiration and encouragement to all who consume the news.
- Lord, let truth-filled and uplifting stories find their way to the forefront of every media outlet
2nd Prayer Point: Pray for the Spirit of Truth to be poured out upon the media mountain.
John 16:13 (HCSB) 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come.
- Pray for men and women of God to be put in places of influence to combat the enemy’s message.

- Pray for New York City, NY and Atlanta, GA to become filled with men and women of God who understand their identity in Christ and will occupy this sphere of influence.
3rd Prayer Point: Media is being used to release fear, hopelessness, faintness of heart, division, and destruction into our society. These are the spiritual influences that we will displace in Jesus’ name.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (HCSB)
4 since the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
- We command all fear to be silenced across the airwaves. We declare that the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (HCSB) For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.
- We come against the thief that is trying to steal our hope and cause destruction in our city, state, and country, and we cancel its assignment. We declare that we will have an abundant life that is full of hope.
- We cancel the assignments of every lying spirit that would cause division and confusion across the airwaves and every media outlet. We declare that the peace of God reigns, which surpasses every thought, and is guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
- We declare that our airwaves will be filled with that which is true, that which is noble, that which is just, that which is pure, that which is lovely, that which is of a good report, that which is of virtue, and that which is praiseworthy.
4th Prayer Point: Pray for discernment during this election season. Pray for hearers of news to discern what is and what is not true concerning our elections and those running for office. For the 50 Day Fight this week, we are joining with believers all over America in interceding for our upcoming elections.
- As we draw closer to November 5th, Lord we are asking that you give us wisdom and discernment as we watch and listen to media reporting on the many different candidates. We are asking for the Spirit of Truth to sweep through the media mountain and those who are hearing and seeing their reports.

Proverbs 10:9 (HCSB) The one who lives with integrity lives securely, but whoever perverts his ways will be found out.
