What's the biblical basis for Dominionism?

One stream of Dominion Theology is a growing teaching among Charismatic and Pentecostal churches which states that Christians are meant to acquire authority in seven worldly "domains" referred to as seven _cultural mountains_ that include arts and entertainment, business, education, family, politics, media, and religion. This has been called _New Kingdom_ theology by its proponents, and is associated with the wildly popular Charismatic worship centers of Bethel Church and the International House of Prayer.
What arguments are given by proponents as the biblical basis for this teaching? Especially, from which passages do its teachers derive support for the "dominions" and their number, and _why_ and _in what manner_ should the church seek this authority?

In Charismatic circles, there is a movement or teaching called the Seven Mountain Mandate. In a nutshell, we are taught that it is God's purpose for the Church or Christians to have influence, or take dominion over **seven specific areas of society/culture**: media, government, education, economy, family, religion, and arts/entertainment.
There have been many books on the topic written over the last decade, from authors Lance Walnau, Johnny Enlow, Tommi Femrite, Bronwyn O'Brien, Bill Johnson, Rivkah Isaacs and others.
One of the earliest book titles (from 2009) stood out to me: Johnny Enlow's *The Seven Mountain Prophecy*. The title seems to imply that this mandate originates from a specific prophecy uttered by a specific person.
**When** did this teaching originate, and **by whom**? I've heard it taught as a general teaching, but I have never learned its origin.
