Media Mountain
The media mountain includes news sources such as radio, TV news stations, newspapers, Internet news and opinion (blog) sites, etc. Media has the potential to sway popular opinion on current issues based upon its reporting, which is not always truthful or accurate. This area of influence also includes all social media platforms.
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. Spirit-filled believers are empowered to bring His Kingdom to this area of influence as it is in Heaven.
Ephesians 5: 6-14 (HCSB) Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient. 7 Therefore, do not become their partners. 8 For you were once darkness, but now [you are] light in the Lord. walk as children of light- 9 for the fruit of the light [results] in all goodness, righteousness, and truth- 10 discerning what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead, expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret. 13 Everything exposed by the light is made clear, 14 for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said: Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.
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.
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.
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.
Proverbs 11: 3 (HCSB) The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them.
Proverbs 12:22 (NKJV) Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
3rd Prayer Point: Media is being used to release fear, hopelessness, faintness of heart, division, and destruction into our society. We declare that these spiritual influences will be displaced 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.
2 Timothy 1:7 (HCSB) For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.
4th Prayer Point: Pray for revival to come to the social media industry(developers, advertising, content creators, influencers, and consumers).
2 Peter 3:9 (HCSB) The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
1Timothy 2:1-4 (HCSB) First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Matthew 5:14-16 (HCSB) You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
