Lately I have been reading & discussing with a friend My friend & I are concerned & praying for another friend who is caught up in the `Dominionist thinking,` where they have to go to mountains, do special walks, etc, etc thinking that they are on some special mission from God.

Have you heard of such teaching? It is pervading all areas.

Hi Marilyn,

No, I'm not familar with "Dominionist thinking".....but, thanks to Google (saved me hours of research at the library going through dozens of books...yeah! right.<grin>) I have now 'heard' of it. I read your post early this morning but had something to do before I could respond...I had to take my morning 'special' walk up on the 'mountain'...it's my 'mission'....Just kidding! I do walk up a small mountain every morning and pray as I go and I do believe I'm on a mission from God, but that's not it. lol (I saw a coyote this morning, some mornings I see deer and other wildlife)

After reading a bit on Dominionism I'd say that it has 'some' influence in many denominations, especially in the area of changing society through active involvment in government, protest, voting, enforcing 'christian value' upon society. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying, Christian(God's) values in our society and dictating our laws would be wonderful (and I pray for our leaders to repent and seek God and His Standards as the guide to their decision making) but I can't find in scripture where we as Christians are called to become part of this world's kingdoms, we are to be active in God's Kingdom...btw: most definitly not the same, contrary to many Americans beliefs.

Seems like there is always something Satan is using to take the focus off God and divert it to some 'cause' that 'seems' noble. So with that thought in mind, I think I'll not waste any more of my time on 'Dominionism' or it's 7 Mountains...unless The Lord has me learn more in order to share the error of it with someone.

But if you have friends being lead astray with this false teaching, then certainly you have reason for concern and sharing the truth with them. C Peter Wagner, here in america, seems to be behind much of this teaching...he's know for promoting 'out there stuff' inside charismatic circles(part of the group that gave Todd Bentley his apostolic approval in Lakeland Revival 2008)

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
