The Revolution aims to step outside the typical realm of the broadcast Christian genre. Its innovative style of discussion around a table in a peaceful, low lit, comfortable surrounding differs from the pulpit pastor preaching. The topics convey a much different, younger perspective into Christianity and evangelism. The youthful and upbeat personalities allow the hosts to talk to the viewers and not at them. The Revolution intends to fire up emotion in the hearts of its viewers with everyday modern family experiences and testimonies fueled by the Bible itself.
Continuing into part two of the three part discussion the hosts discuss the need to ask of the lord for our daily spiritual and physical bread through prayer. We are created in the image of God and Pre-destined to do great things before him. The Hosts give encouragement to look to God as he is working in us and in our lives. The forgetful man looks into the mirror of God's word and forgets what he sees, but when he looks into the perfect law of liberty and does the work using the bible to find out what he looks like through God's eyes he realizes what he is created to be. Martin Luther said that he lived for two days in his life that was today and that day. Melissa goes on to say If we live like that with that mind set we are not held back living for ourselves and instead living for Christ.

Second part to the Pilot Episode, after the Hosts beginning Introductions of the Revolution Evangelistic association's new Television ministry the theme is set to encourage our generation to rise up and be a revolution , taking a stand for Christ. Josh Jamison tells the viewers no more status quo living. Christians need to rise up and come into an awakening to God as he is calling his people as a church to go higher and deeper by walking and doing the ministry. Associate Pastor Tom Blauvelt makes Reference to Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
A compelling perspective on the nature of God and his love towards man and mans love towards God. Melissa Jamison discusses the love of God and if we as a people have not experienced the love of the father we need to allow God to love us. When we as a people come to God we begin to learn of a love that is fully functional and able to heal our emotional and spiritual wounds and broken heart where the Love of God will set you free.
A conclusion to the topic of the nature of God and his love towards man and Man's love towards God. Pastor Josh Jamison states there is a measure of truth to Christians stating let the will of the Lord be done if when it's time for me to be free of something the lord will do it in me and I won't have to worry about it. He goes on to say the power of God is continuously available to us so we can rise up receive the revelation we need and come out of the bondage we may be in. He references Ephesians 4:22-24 Artwork of Christ embracing a child to his chest with love and compassion is also shown in this episode.
In part 1 of this 3 part discussion the hosts discuss that we need to see ourselves the way Christ sees us and how this is vital. Melissa Jamison makes reference to The Bible being a mirror for us as Christians it is a reflection of who we are in Christ. Pastor Jamison adds the biblical verse "Do not be conformed to the image of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The word of God is the source that we have to find out what our image is for what we are supposed to look like as a Christian.
Continuing into part two of the three part discussion the hosts discuss the need to ask of the lord for our daily spiritual and physical bread through prayer. We are created in the image of God and Pre-destined to do great things before him. The Hosts give encouragement to look to God as he is working in us and in our lives. The forgetful man looks into the mirror of God's word and forgets what he sees, but when he looks into the perfect law of liberty and does the work using the bible to find out what he looks like through God's eyes he realizes what he is created to be. Martin Luther said that he lived for two days in his life that was today and that day. Melissa goes on to say If we live like that with that mind set we are not held back living for ourselves and instead living for Christ.
Pastor Josh Jamison explains how we are God's special people being called to do his purpose that is not meant to be a burden to carry it out. Melissa goes on to explain God wants us to be like him to look like him he is holy , when we look to Christ he is holy. We cannot craft Jesus Christ into a store bought trinket or into an image; his image is in our hearts branded as Christians. The B90X reading the bible in 90 days using a pattern is encouraged by Host Josh Jamison. Leviticus 20:26. The grace of God turns every commandment into a promise we don't hear what were supposed to do we hear what we get to do. Pastor Josh Jamison states we are the people of God we have a purpose as God's people and it is not a burden being placed upon us but a freedom. He points this out in 1 Peter 2:11-12 . The Hosts reference these two more key verses in the Bible from Leviticus 20:26 and 1 Peter 1:13-16 From the New Testament.
The Lord dwells within us as a people. It is time for the intercessors to come on the scene and time for those people who are called by God to walk in the office of authority that he has for his people time to receive the prayer assignments and dedicate ourselves to him. Dedicate our lives and work whether we are laborers, athletes, soldiers, it is time to dedicate our work to Christ whatever the field of industry we work in is. This dedication to serving God makes our lives more fruitful. Tom references Paul in Philippians 3 imperfections that I may lay. Forget those things that are behind in the pass press on. Confess those sins put them under the blood of Jesus and receive forgiveness. God doesn't want us to be held back by sin and things in our past but to run forward with endurance. Get free of the sin as God has urgent work for us to do. Tom also references the biblical book Hebrews 12:1-3.
Focusing primarily on Prayer the hosts introduce the Wilderness Outcry event on June 14-18th sponsored primarily by Dutch Sheets Ministries crying out in the Wilderness for Christ. Encouraging viewers to pray about making a tent camping trip to Poplar Bluff, MO at Mount Moriah and join the hundred thousand people anticipated to be present at this event. It's time for our generation to see a move of God; the vision is about restoring the dreams of God to our generation. The 60's Event Woodstock are referenced in this episode as a comparable type of event that will take place yet instead of free love from the world the event will be known as free love from God. The event formerly called Wilderness Outcry was changed to the prayer gathering on Moriah Ranch called Prayer At Moriah shortly after airing this episode.
The Bible says beautiful are the feet that bring good news as the camera zooms in on Co-Host Tom Blauvelt's feet to solidify the point made. The power of prayer and the authority of the believer along with the influence this has on our walk in the faith are conveyed to the viewers. Co-Host Melissa Jamison reads from Isaiah 44:4 making a special note that we as a people belong to the Lord this is our identity written on his hand as God's property. Josh Jamison adds that in both the new and Old Testament we see instances where the people of God have the opportunity to respond to God to do what God says and establish the things he has asked his people to do.
Praying in the Holy Spirit is the charge we need! The word of God tells us to stir ourselves up in the most holy way. Our life as Christians needs to be plugged into Christ. Associate pastor Tom Blauvlet references 1st Corinthians 14:2 He who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. The Apostle Paul writes, "He who speaks in tongues edifies himself". Speaking in tongues edifies your spirit. He further explains this is a spiritual muscle building exercise like when one goes into the gym your pumping weights that is edifying your own body. When you speak in tongues and praying you are edifying yourself spiritually. Pastor Josh Jamison states the benefit the word (Bible) working in our life does for us is enormous. We are created for a calling, purpose, and a destiny God has called for us when we receive that cutting of the flesh and circumcision of the heart, we begin to receive the life of God and the promises he has for us.
The world tries to mold and conform us to its standard and its way of doing things and settling for less than Gods best. Tom Blauvelt references Galatians 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the Liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled with the yolk of bondage." The devil wants to take ground back, we need to be watchful and not fall into temptation and be free in the word. We live in a day and age were evil is being called good, we need to be cognizant of that. it's absolutely clear that God has called you to live a free life just make sure you don't use that freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom.
Tom references Lazarus, Mary, and Martha in the bible and states that sometimes love doesn't necessarily look like what we think it should look like and what Jesus was doing in Lazarus' situation is he was creating an environment for God to be glorified and faith to be built.Mary and Martha had an opportunity to become very offended at Jesus to look and say we need you now by putting an expectation on Jesus that wasn't supposed to be put on him because what is supposed to be put on him is "I trust Jesus no matter what". We live in a place of selfishness and of not trusting people as we have been let down and held back by offense and un-forgiveness. Melissa points this out as a faith statement. We can look to Jesus knowing he will be trustworthy, with his integrity, and for the fullness of who he is because if we question that we are not reading his word enough. Pastor Josh Jamison references Matthew 13:57-58 so they were offended at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house." Now he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Offense created a place of unbelief which even stopped Jesus from doing many mighty works in the midst of them and miracles weren't done in this area because of offense. When we are offended at God and his people we have to make a gift of forgiveness to overcome these offenses it is a key to getting answered prayer.
God is waiting for us to grab a hold of his word to go into the entire world and preach the gospel to take authority over the dominions and the powers of darkness because we have the word on the inside of us as Christians. When we get into the word (Bible) and it becomes a part of us the word says the truth that you know will set you free. Josh Jamison goes on to say that the Bible specifically says "Without faith it is impossible to please him (God) but he who comes to God must believe that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Share a smile with someone and ask someone if they could use prayer even when you feel like you can't do it. In the body of Christ God looks at every one of us with value. God addresses us in his word and how important the internal organs are as well in the body of Christ. Those of us Christians that aren't on TV or outwardly known as Christians internally in the body of Christ are extremely vital to the church of God and if we don't grab the hope of that then were not chipping in where we all need to be doing our part. Tom Blauvelt continues this message stating this is vital to save the lost (Non-Christians), heal the sick, and bring revival into our nation. God needs everyone doing their part and standing at our post.
Pastor Josh Jamison wearing a T-Shirt depicting an American Bald Eagle caught in Chains stating will the eagle get tied up more in the chains or will the eagle ultimately fly free as this is where our nation is at the moment of decision, do we get caught up in the chains or do we shake them off and walk in Freedom. Rise up as with wings as Eagles, Run and not grow weary, walk and not faint because the Lord goes before us and renews our strength. We are under the government of God, and we need to have a revolution where the government of God supersedes the Government of man and man's ideas and thoughts. Tom Blauvelt references speaking of Jesus Christ in the Bible hundreds of years before he was on Earth in the biblical book Isaiah 53:1-6
Tom Blauvelt points out in Psalm 2:1 why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? Speaking from God's perspective he looks at the government's and nation's leaders plotting to overthrow God and replace him with their vein religion and vein philosophies. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess including these leaders. Melissa Jamison gives a story of her child Joshua who's eye is swelled up to the size of a plumb being a timely matter when she and her husband planned on leaving the country for the missionary field while waiting at the bus station for pre-ordered tickets with a confirmation number however the tickets are not at the bus station when they arrive. This could have been a stressful situation instead Melissa started laughing and made the situation humorous. Christ healed Joshua by the time they arrived in Miami for the final overseas trip this suddenly moment was an example of the joy of the lord being our Strength. The Lord is Joyful in the midst of demolishing our enemies he gets excited about that. We need the same stress free attitude especially in a stressful situation and let our mind be still in the spirit of God. There is a real powerful, Principal, and praise seen in scripture that God inhabits the praises of his people. The joy of the Lord is going to push back the powers of darkness in your life and as you start laughing at your circumstances when you rather be crying remember we should start walking in the peace of God and in joy. When you don't have that peace and that joy in a circumstance and you still praise God faith will penetrate the situation and God will come on the scene.
The Righteous are as bold as a lion and are those who know who they are in Christ. We can have great boldness and walk in great freedom as the truth sets us free. Getting into the word and praying will release Gods will in our life. The word being creativity in our life as Christians opens up our spiritual understanding and our understanding with the things in this world that is going on around us. Melissa Jamison goes on to explain that we’ve seen our nation as American's take some turns and in those turns were not praying as much as we should be. There were foundational truths set for us in our country. Regardless of what some people may be telling us right now "We are a nation that was founded on Christian values, they can't take away history.” We can look and see we are not like any other nation we’ve been a very different nation and are very set apart in the entire world. Pastor Josh Jamison references second Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." Josh goes on to say "When we pray it makes a difference" referencing the second part of James 5:16 “The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” We need to dig in and seek God's face and find him in a place of intimacy where we contact God and we literally shake the heavens by being released to do what God’s will is here on planet Earth. Pray for the nation, be a patriot and call upon the name of the lord.
The Lord wants us to Marinate in his presence find out what his will is for our life and then releases his will to us. This happens when we walk in love and have fellowship with God. James 4:2 “you lust and you do not have, you murder and covet and cannot obtain, you fight in war and yet you do not have because you don’t ask”. We need to check our motives and our hearts where we don’t war against the church. It is also important we don’t operate in lust and the desires of the flesh. The Bible says there are exceedingly precious promises that have been given to us by God and that by these promises we have become partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through Lust. Wanting what you don’t have and we have these desires. Instead the Lord wants to give us our desires and give up our will. When we give up our will we let go of that which is minimal and that which is insignificant and exchange it for what is great, powerful, mighty, and exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ever ask or thing because God wants his will for us. Pastor Josh Jamison goes on to reference James 4:3 “You ask and you do not receive because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures adulterers and adulteresses do you not know that friendship toward the world is enmity with God. Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world wants to be an enemy with God.” This is a principle we need to understand. We want are heart to pursue God and to not pursue the things of this world. The Bible says that if you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness that all the things that the world seeks after will be added to you. We know God wants good things for us he just doesn’t want those things to have us (Controlling us) and have our hearts.
Concluding the topic prayer for the nation Pastor Josh Jamison We as believers put our trust in the lord and humble ourselves and pray for the healing of our land as a nation. We need to agree as believers and agree God wants good things to take place. Referencing Matthew 16:19 (NKJV) And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."There is a freedom to pray for the nation. The Lord has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven so we bind the strong men we lose the word of God and Gospel. The Effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. When we fervently pray passionately pursuing God and seek the face of God and ask him to release his will to us. The Lord invites us to be a part of what he is doing. Melissa Jamison Adds that God wants to reveal his holiness to the nation. God wants to put himself on display for the nations through his people (disciples). God's Holiness isn’t going to be revealed through bored Christians. God isn’t boring and praying isn’t boring, Praying together will be an anointing experience as God will move. God is the lord of our government we need to pray for those in authority our leaders even if we don't believe in all of their viewpoints lift them up in pray. Some people may say the world doesn’t want to know about God they are rejecting him at every turn and Christianity is going down the hill. Melissa exclaims why would we buy into that, as Christians why would we take the back seat and Say "Well I guess nobody wants to hear us" We wouldn’t do that. We stand strong on God's Word and integrity and pray the will of God in our situation. When we leave out God's word from our society and as a culture we are digressing especially when Prayer was taken out of our schools.
Pastor Josh Jamison explains that there are so many people sitting back and recline stating “O the will of the Lord be done in my life.” We do want that and sometimes it is hard to know what the will of God is but the Lord wants us to move into the fullness of being a mature son of God. The Bible says that as many that are lead by the spirit of God they are the sons of God referring to the son’s of god who are useful to the father’s house. God gives grace to the humble and Christ gives us strength it is up to us to find the will of God then walk in the delegated authority he has positioned us in to bring on dreams to pass. Josh Jamison refers to Psalm 8:3 “When I consider your heavens the work of your fingers the moon and the stars which you have ordained, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man which you visit him. For you have made him a little lower than Elohim and you have crowned him with glory and honor you have made him to have dominion over all the works of your hands you have put all things under his feet all sheep and oxen even the beast of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas. O’ lord our Lord how excellent is your name in all the Earth.” The Lord has given man dominion here on Earth all things have been placed in Christ’s hands he has released those to the Church of the living God. The Positional authority is Christ the delegated authority is the Church us Christ’s people. Melissa Jamison adds we are to be imitators of God as we look through the word we can see how God spoke and he saw it come to pass so we need to change our thought patterns then talk in authority by re-adjust our words through God’s will. The Word of God is our example in our life to walk God’s will out in Authority with purpose and take full advantage where we are prospering.
