Application Questions for Individual and Small Group Study:
1. In this episode, we were reminded of the many different "faces" of the Lord--the aspects of His divine character and nature that we may encounter in worship. What aspects of God's character have you already encountered? What aspects of God's character would you like to discover more fully?
2. In this episode, we learn that we are called to see and reflect the Lord's glory in the same manner that the moon reflects the light of sun. What changes can we implement in our lives to set our focus more fully on the Lord's face and discover the deeper aspects of His divine nature?
3. Why is it important to have a vision for an open heaven over our families, our homes, and our neighborhoods--rather than just our church meetings? Why did God use home meetings in the book of Acts? Why will home meetings be critical in the next move of God?
4. Jesus instructed us to "bring out the old treasure with the new" (Matthew 13:52). Why is it important not to forget some of the "older ways" of praying for our homes and neighborhoods, such as prayer-walking, pleading the blood, anointing places, or prayers of consecration? How do these more traditional methods of prophetic prayer serve to consecrate our spaces to the Lord?
5. How would believers' lives be different if all belivers used the authority Christ gave to bind the enemy's influence and loose what the Lord desires to do in their spheres of influence?
