I. Intro 1. (2 Co 2:3-4) It is important that we are whole if we are going to minister to children 2. We comfort others with the same comfort that we have received from God 3. Children are hurting and it is a great privilege to bring the love of God to them
II. The Happy Heart
1. (Jer 17:9) The heart is deceitfully wicked who can know it. Sometimes we don't even know our own hearts. We deceive ourselves and are not honest with ourselves. Smiling on the outside but hurting on the inside 2. God wants to love Him with "all of our heart" Sometimes we are afraid to open up and be honest with each other and even with God 3. Its ok to tell God anything, because He already knows anyway Read More...
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) Read More...
