LAST LESSON! THANX SO MUCH FOR READING!

"...'In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!'"
- Acts 3:6

Awesome Name
a. (Pull out name book, explain that there are amny cool names, name off a few that you like)
b. There is one name above all other names!
c. Jesus' name is the coolest of all!

1. Salvation
a. We receive salvation in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38)
b. Jesus paid the heavy price for our freedom, when we call on His name we are saved!

2. Healing
a. Healing comes in the name of Jesus (Acts 3:6)
b. Show a piece of brown twine and have a spectator cut it in two. You hold the pieces far apart so that the audience can see clearly that the pieces are actually cut. By making a magic pass the string is restored.
You need a length of ordinary brown wrapping twine and some beeswax, sometimes called "magician's wax." Beforehand taper each end of the twine to a point with sharp scissors or a knife, and apply a daub of wax to each end. By rubbing it well, the wax will become soft, and it may be easily worked into the twine.
Now show the string, and have a spectator cut it in half with a pair of scissors while you hold the ends. Hold your hands far apart, one piece in each hand so that the audience can clearly see that you have two pieces. Switch the twine from hand to hand so that you end up with the waxed end of each up, one piece in each hand.
Now bring your hands together so that the waxed ends meet, and allow them to overlap. Squeeze the ends together tightly and roll them together between your thumb and fingers. This will cement the ends together because of the wax. Now take one of the free ends and hold it up next to the waxed ends, and pretend you are going to tie a knot. Say: "When I use the name of JESUS the worst problems are healed!" Let the center drop, still holding the one end in your hand and show that the string is restored.

3. Faith is Key!
a. Like with all things related to God, faith is key!
b. With no faith there is no result.
c. BUT! With faith like a mustard seed you can move mountains! (Matthew 17:20)

Altar Call
Ask that anyone with needs or worries come stand at the altar. Gather the other kids around those who need prayer and encourage them to pray in the name of Jesus!
