INTRODUCTION:

We have been privileged to witness the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon children in many nations. Literally, thousands of adults and children have easily received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit through this simple teaching. He has come in a variety of ways, painting a pallet of wonderful memories! However, we believe that believing children already have the Holy Spirit living within. The baptism or infilling of the Holy Spirit just brings a new dimension of His operations in and through us. We believe that all Believers (of any age) can and should receive the Baptism of Holy Spirit—not to get to Heaven, but to have POWER on earth to witness with resurrection power. According to the Scriptures, as soon as a believer is saved, he is a candidate for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:2). We believe that “the promise is unto you and to your children…” Acts 2: 39a. We believe that God promises in Joel 2: 28 that in the Last Days, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters will prophesy….” We present this lesson to the nations as a participator in that outpouring.

LESSON AIM:

Our aim is to clearly teach the Biblical doctrine about the HOLY SPIRIT, using simple visuals and object lessons. Our prayer is that both children and adults will:

1. Recognize and cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives, as He makes them like Jesus.
2. Hunger to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and have faith to receive this experience.
3. Become bold witnesses for Jesus.
4. Be able to teach others about the Holy Spirit.

LESSON OUTLINE:

This lesson can be taught in three separate sessions:
PART 1: The Holy Spirit is God
PART 2: The Work of the Holy Spirit in Every Believer
PART 3: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
PART 4: Luke 11:11-13 (to use with the invitation)

Originally published many years ago, this outstanding book, now revised is still fresh and challenging us today. It tells the story of a group of children - mostly street beggars and orphans - living in Adullam Rescue Mission in Yunan Province, China, under the care of missionaries H.A. Baker and his wife. These children experienced an immense and incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit - so great that they literally 'experienced heaven' through visions, were aware of the prescence of angels and were able to describe in great detail what they saw. The result of these intense experiences of God was a fervent passion for worship, the Word of God and prayer.

(This book was not copyrighted and may be freely distributed. H.A. Baker was the grandfather of Roland Baker, a missionary along with his wife Heidi. Their ministry is known as IRIS ministries and is powerfully touching many for the glory of God. We have included a link to their site as well.)

Holy Spirit is like a dove
Reminding us of God's peace and love 
Gently He comes in His own special way
And if we respect Him He'll want to stay Read More...

ICMI is a non denominational charismatic children’s ministry. Our purpose is to bring the gospel to the children of the nations in the power of the Holy Spirit and to raise up other teachers who will do the same.

We have seen God be faithful to His promise from Joel and Acts that in the last days he would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. As the Book of Acts says the promise is for you and for your children for all who are afar off and for all who would call upon the name of the Lord. Read More...

We have taught our simple Holy Spirit lesson hundreds of times in many nations. God has blessed it and thousands of children have been baptized by the Holy Spirit as described in Acts 1 and 2. When filled with the Spirit children speak in tongues, an unknown heavenly language, often prophesy and receive power to live holy and witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
