GUIDELINES
for individual and small group
reflections on the video clips
Here are four key guidelines to help you glean insights from each episode—and then apply them to your walk with Christ as well as your impact for his saving purposes at this critical hour in our nation.
These questions can help facilitate discussions of a video clip by a small group after viewing it together—maybe in a Sunday School class or by a home Bible study group. Or they can serve to equip a Christ Awakening Servant Team (CAST) as part of their regular planning and prayer
meetings.
Individually or together, you may want to view more than one video clip per session, depending on the time available.
Incidentally, these same guidelines can be used in studying THE HOUR HAS COME free eBook (at ChristNow.com), either alone or with a group going through it chapter by chapter.
Initial Reflections
After viewing the video, what are your immediate reactions? What questions did it raise for you? What issues would you like to talk about before tackling any of the questions below? Take time to debrief, alone or with a group.
Then proceed to three sets of questions below.
Approach each set in any order.
Feel free to add your own questions, as well.
*WHAT?
During this video clip. what did the Holy Spirit reveal to you or remind you specifically concerning …
… the wonders of the glory and greatness of God’s Son?
… who Jesus wants to be as the Lord of your life?
… your role in his kingdom purposes for America right now?
… what more the Father wants for your own church in your life together in Christ Jesus?
… what this teaching implies about the future of our nation and our hope in Christ?
Did any Scripture (s) impress your heart as you took-in David's teaching in this video?
*SO WHAT?
Based on this video clip, what are some implications …
… for any adjustments in your vision or your personal walk with Jesus as this critical hour in our nation?
… for struggles or challenges you may need to be ready to face in your ministry and witness for Christ at this hour in our nation?
… for your calling to seek and serve a Christ Awakening among Christians and churches where you live?
… for the impact this awakening might have for furthering the “NEW America Revolution” where you live?
*NOW WHAT?
Based on this video clip, specifically what are the very next steps you might take in response to what you've gained from David’s teaching?
>What steps in your personal walk with Christ? What steps in your ministry for Christ; either individually or as a group?
>How might what you've learned in this episode help you to move forward in spreading among your fellow believers a larger vision of Jesus and greater reasons to put our hope in him?
Specifically, starting right now, how might you get more involved in encouraging a NEW American Revolution where you live?
>How might you serve the growth of a nationwide Christ Awakening that wins the soul of America today?
*PRAYER
The most strategic response we can have at the conclusion of each video clip is to turn the teaching, insights, and concerns that are raise into prayer.
Take for a few moments to determine what seems to be the most important focus of prayer—for our lives, our churches and our nation—based on the emphases of this episode. Then, spend a few minutes turning that agenda into prayer to the Father for Jesus’ sake.
Just below is one “model” of prayer taken from the book THE HOUR HAS COME.
Make some of these prayers your prayer; pray them out loud, alone or as a group.
Or review them as simply an example of the issues how Christians need to be praying about these days.

“Let God Rise Up”
(Psalm 68: 1)
Let God RISE UP! God of the ages, in righteousness and justice, with mercy and compassion, bring about a Jesus-anchored work of restoration and reconciliation throughout the land.
Let God RISE UP! Author of our salvation, push back the darkness. Break the stranglehold of the Enemy. Reveal the majesty of your Son to Americans everywhere. Fulfill your incredible promises much more by how his kingdom breaks through in us and among us right now.
Let God RISE UP! Father of mercy, with resurrection power rescue and heal our country from its many self-inflicted wounds—some nearly fatal. As a nation, we have become far too broken and disabled to heal ourselves at the breadth and depth we require. Come quickly to our aid.
Let God RISE UP! Source of New Beginnings, start first by addressing the impotence of the Christian movement in America. By the power of the Holy Spirit, bring Jesus followers within every stream of the American Church into a substantial, tangible, intimate, thoroughgoing re-enchantment with our risen, victorious Savior.
May we become so deeply enthralled with our reigning Savior that our growing love for him captures the imagination of our neighbors as they witness the desirable differences Jesus can make for any of us or for an entire nation. Exhibit Jesus’ greatness and glory through a wide variety of Christian communities serving the nation together, sharing and applying the good news of Jesus with people in every part of our society.
Let God RISE UP! Gracious, praiseworthy Father, help us begin, in Jesus’ name and by his power, to personally, humbly, sensitively, caringly, and sacrificially help restore, reshape, and revitalize the very soul of our nation.
Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done! In the heart and at the core of the United States of America. AMEN!
