We Need A Changed Heart
Scripture Reference:
Materials Needed:
Preparation:
Central Truth:
.
Object Lesson:
(Place the box labeled ''Heart" on table
with your mallet.)
Boys and girls, during this revival there
are some• pretty· amazing· things happening,
but do you know why they are happening?
They are happening because God is
· changing us on the inside. He's preparing our
heart. There are things that are happening on
the outside - laughing, dancing, running. But
the best part is what is happening on the inside.
I'd like to show you how this is possible.
r- This box represents our heart There are some
· things here that we don't really know that are
there, but God does. (Take the fruit labeled
"doubt".)
LESSON 11
Ezekiel 11: 19
A large .box, a mallet, different fruit
(watermelon, cluster . of grapes, strawberries),
plastic drop clothes, and a small table
Cover table and floor with plastic drop cloth.
Label box "Heart". Label fruit also with words
like "pride", "unforgiveness", "doubt". Place
the fruit inside of the box. Label you mallet
"Power of God".
When we yeild ourselves to the anointing of
God, we give Him the authority to prepare our
heart by removing those things that shouldn't
be there•
Now there is some doubt in this heart.
This heart had doubts about what was
happening. Is this of.God? ,Are those people
really flowingwith God;orare they just being
goofy'! If this is God, why is He doing this?
Let's see what God wants to do with the
doubt in this heart. (Take the mallet and smash
the "doubt".) The anointing breaks the yoke.
This doubt was a yoke on this person. They
really couldn't enter in because of all of these
doubts.
Let's see what else this heart has in it that
might keep him from moving with God. (Pull
out the fruit labeled "unforgiveness".) This
heart had unforgiveness in him. He was upset
about what the kid down the block said to him.
It wasn't very nice, but the Bible tells us to
120
Super Church LESSON 11

forgive others. Instead of forgiving he was

waiting for the right moment to get him bac1c.

Now he is ready to let God take over. He is

allowing God to show him what he should do
about this situation.

When he.does, (smash unforgiveness), we

are allowing the anointing of God to move in
him. Now that we have doubt and unforgiveness
out ofthe way, is there anything else? Let's look.
Oh. Yeah, usually this is in there somewhere.
(Pull out fruit labeled "pride".) Pride can trick
you. Pride tells you that you are okay. You don't
need all of this fanaticism. Other people may
need this, but you are right where you should be.
You have all of God you' need. Boys and girls,
there are things in our life that God wants for us
that we don't know about yet. We don't have
enough of God.

Think about a boy who got born again when

he was ten years old. After he got born again, he
became on fire for God. Now, did God want him
to be born again when he was six years ol\l?
How about when he was eight and nine? The
answer is yes. But the boy didn't know he
needed God until he was ten. God wanted to
know him when he was nine.

Pride will tell you that you have all of God's

power that you need, but that is not true. Pride
will hold you back from receiving from God
more than any thing else. (Take the mallet and
smash the fruit labeled "pride".) Wow, did you
see that pride get smashed? Now this heart can
get all he needs to from God. God now can
prepare this heart for the harvest

Sally: Well, you've been missing some awesome services at church.

Howard: That's right They've been pretty cool. And bey, Bully, you should come on down. You would
really get knocked around.

Bully: Nobody knocks me around and I mean nobody.

Howard: Hey, bully, I didn't mean some person would knOck you around. I meant God would.

llully: Hey, guys. This stuff isn't of God. It's a big joke. It's mass hypnotism. Why would God want
to knock people down? Make people laugh, and have people acting weird? What is the point of
ll all? Is it necessary? I think you guys are all just potting on a show:

Robby: No, Bully. We are not putting on a show. God is the one who is moving on us.

Sally: Yeah. Bully, The actions are Just showing what God is doing on the inside of us. God is really
making a change in our hearts.

Howard: Hey, man. The other day I went forward for prayer and tllen God bealed my band.

Bully: Well, what was wrong witll yonr hand. You been praising God too long. And your band get tired?

Howard: No.· My band got broke from bitting someone who talked to.me like you are rigbt now.

Bully: Yeah.

Howard: But God not only bealed rny hand, He's changed my heart.

Robby:. ,. . And.wheo my teacher.prayed for.me that day. ,.I felt-like electricity,flowing through my body and
I just couldn1 stand up anymore and I fell down.

Bully: So you probably stepped on a live wire, Robby.

Robby: It was a live wire, Bully. It was the Holy Ghost. But that wasn't all. The next day I could stlll
feel the power of God moving inside of me, Bully. All day. I just couldn't stop lbinking about
how mucb I love Him. Aud I couldn't w'llit to get home and read my Bible. That wasn't fake.
That was real. I have never felt like I loved God this much before.

Sally; Bully, you know that I have switched schools and it bas been ban! on me and I have been praying
for God to help me do tills. So, the other day I went forward for prayer and asked for the joy of
God in my life. When our teacher Jayed his bands on me and prayed for me I felt tills joy start to
bubble up inside of me and I slllrted laughing so hard I couldn't stop.

Bully; Are you sure your teacher wasn't tickling you when you're ·eyes were closed?

Sally: I wasn't finished.. The next day when I went t.o school it was easy for me in all of my classes. I
wasn't sad anymore and I met three Cllristians that day. God moved in my life that night through
laogbing, but also gave me three new friends.

Bully: It was probably a coincidence.

Robby: We slill are changed It has been a couple of weeks since we got prayed for and the longer we
stay involved in wllat God is doing we will continue to be changed more and more.

Preparing The Soil

Scripture Reference: Mark 4:3-8, 14-20

Materials Needed: A large plastic box of soil, several large rocks,

a watering, can with:a spout, small spade &
seeds.

Pusb the rocks in the soil, (not very deep), have

Preparation:
a layer of soil on top of the rocks. You want the
rocks to be hidden, so it looks as though you
have just a box of soil. It would be good if you
could prepare this box several days ahead of
time by pouring water on it so it is kind of hard
on top.

Central Truth: Some people's hearts are not ready to receive

·God's Word and the move of the Spirit because
their hearts are hardened like roeks.

Object Lesson: rock. Well let's dig around and get all of these
rocks out of here,·By preparing the soil we

The Ten Virgins
Scripture Reference:
Bible Story:
In Matthew 25 Jesus tells us a story about
Ten Virgins; A virgin is a girl or young lady
who has not married yet
· The ten virgins represent the body of Christ
(Bride of Christ) waiting for the bridegroom to
return (the second coming of Jesus Christ) ·
The ten virgins went to meet the bridegroom
(Christ). Five were wise and took jars of extra
oil for their lamps. Five were foolish and took
their lamps, but they didn't take any extra oil.
This would be like flashlights and batteries
are today. Oil was the power source for the
lamp like batteries are the power source for the
flashlights. If you went camping, you would be
wise to bring extra batteries in case your
flashlight went out.
· Back to our story about the ten virgins. At
midnight the bridegroom came. The five foolish
virgins ran out of oil, so they had to go and buy
oil. They missed the wedding.
Thefive wise virgins had extra jars (not just
one) of oil so they were ready and went in to the
wedding.·
In the Bible oilisatypeoftheHoly Spirit.
Oil represents the anointing or power of the
Holy Spirit Remember that oil gave power to
LESSON 11
Matthew 25: l-13
the lamp like batteries give power to the
flashlight.
The five foolish virgins were Christians
who thol.lghtthey had enough supply ofpower.
Maybe they were saved and filled with the
Holy Ghost ten years· ago, but they haven't
been re-filled. That's what is happening right
now in this revival. Now is the time to buy oil.
God is pouring out His Spirit and power on
everyone who wants it
Why do we need this power? We need
power to bring in the harvest We're kidding
ourselves ifwe think we can bring in this final
harvest without the power of God.
So go to church as often as you can. Get in
as many Holy Ghostmeetings as you can. Get
. prayed for.as many times as you can, not just
once or twice. Soak in the presence of God, so
we can be ready to bring in this harvest.
