      Books by Ben R. Peters

      INTRODUCTION

      BEFORE studying this book we strongly advise that you first read the book, Kings and Kingdoms. If you do not have access presently to that book, please read the following summary of the basic tenets of Kings and Kingdoms.

      1. Jesus has made us to be kings and priests unto Him. Revelation 1:6.

      2. Kings are not really kings until they have a kingdom.

      3. Most earthly kings in Bible times were subject to a king of kings or emperor.

      4. God needs us to fulfill administrative roles as kings over parts of His Kingdom on the earth.

      5. The more kings serving Him, the greater is His Kingdom.

      6. Our job as regional kings is to bring in resources for the King of Kings and expand His Kingdom.

      7. We are also called to serve, to bring justice and protection, and to provide opportunity for people to thrive and prosper.

      8. God wants us to rule on one or more of the seven mountains of society.

      9. We are not only to rule, but to raise up sons and daughters as princes and princesses, and prepare them so that they can also rule and reign.

      10. Our goal is not for personal advantage but for the purpose of spreading God’s Kingdom.

      11. Only the humble can be trusted with high level authority at the top of these mountains.

      12. Many prophets are being raised up to anoint the new kings who will bring reformation, righteousness and justice on the earth.

      The above bullet points will help you understand what you are about to read, but I highly recommend that you also read Kings and Kingdoms to get the most out of this guide to finding your place on God’s mountain.

      Chapter One

      DEFUSING THE LAND MINES IN YOUR PATH

      If you believe, as I do, that God has called you to a high calling as a king with a kingdom, you will surely want to fulfill that glorious calling and take advantage of every divine appointment to position yourself for a promotion from Heaven. It would be foolish to ignore or turn down the King of Kings who wants to establish you in a place of great influence and impact.

      As a person who loves the only One who could forgive your sins and prevent your eternal damnation, you surely want to fulfill the command of Jesus to Seek first His Kingdom, by using your position to expand His Kingdom on the earth. Your goal is to bring as much of Heaven to earth as possible. Jesus taught us to pray, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. The more influence and impact you have on the earth, the more you will be able to fulfill this prayer.

      Every journey has its unique challenges and your journey to a higher place on the mountain is no exception. The enemy who fears your climb up the mountain will try to make the pathway as dangerous and difficult as possible. He will go before you to plant land mines in places you least expect them. You need to identify and defuse these dangerous threats as efficiently as possible and continue your upward progress. Let’s look briefly at two of the most common and difficult land mines that almost every Christian finds threatening his or her pathway to promotion.

      1. NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT YOURSELF

      Even if you had been born into a family with two perfect parents, perfect siblings and perfect friends, I believe that you would still struggle through life with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. You would feel inferior to others, guilty for your failures and fear that others will be disappointed in you. You would be concerned about your future life after death and you would struggle with many other emotions related to who you are as compared to who you thought you should be.

      Why do I believe this? I believe it simply because you were born into a world that has been impacted by sin and the curse of Genesis 3:17. Until you have found yourself in the loving arms of your Savior and have received strong assurance from Him, you will feel deep down in your inner man that you are lacking something. This feeling of emptiness makes you feel insecure and unworthy.

      Most of your life you have been fighting against your inner fears, emotional struggles and multiplied accusations from your enemy that you are a bad person, a total failure, and certainly not worthy to be loved by God or by anyone else. Your many efforts to make friends and to work hard to be successful are all subconscious attempts to disprove the self-condemning inner voices from your own spirit and from the spirit of darkness which seeks to destroy your soul. Even when you seem to be making progress to disprove these voices, one little negative comment from someone can put you in turmoil and reinforce all the insecurities you have experienced over your lifetime.

      All of these negative feelings about yourself are huge roadblocks and dangerous land mines on your upward journey to your place on your mountain. You could also compare these negative feelings to a Goliath obstructing your
