Application Questions for Individual and Small Group Study:
1. We were reminded in this episode that the Lord "stands at the door and knocks" (Rev. 3:20). What can we do to "open the door" to the Lord in our individual lives, our families, our physical homes, and our neighborhoods?
2. How did intercessory prayer pave the way for revival in Hebrides, in Wales, or in other past moves of God?
3. What happens inside of a person when they truly (or tangibly) encounter the glory of the Lord? How is this experience different than a "regular" church meeting?Why do you think repentance is one of the most common responses to a real encounter with the Lord and His glory?
4. How does a firm grasp of the Bible's promises bring our worship times to the next level? In what ways does a biblical understanding of concepts such as gates, portals, or heavenly ascension build our faith for what God will do when we meet together?
5. Why is it critical to have a heavenly focus rather than an earthly focus? How does this help us shift from a "mind governed by death" to a "mind governed by life and peace?" (Romans 8:6)
