Awesome Power

Here's the first lesson to part 3, the last part. Thx for being understanding and not sending hate-comments (note: that's not a good idea). I should finish this thing on Wednesday of next week... I hope.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria and to the ends of the earth."
-Acts 1:8

Awesome Power
a. (enter in superhero costume) Being filled with the Holy Spirit gives us super-powers!
b. These super powers are better than flying, super-strength, or even shooting lasers from your eyes!
c. The power that the Holy Spirit brings comes from God for God.

1. Awesome Language
a. The holy spirit speaks through us in a super-language.
b. We don't always know what we're saying
c. God uses this language to bless and protect other people.

2. Awesome Worship
a. When filled with the spirit worship becomes something much better!
b. When we worship God with a hunger we'll feel His presence.
c. Some people get so lost in worship that they praise Him in Tongues!

3. Awesome Name
a. The name of Jesus has power over the enemy
b. We can conquer by the "blood of the Lamb, and the word of our testimony" (Rev. 12:11)
c. Neither God's name nor the name of Jesus is not to be used in vain.

Altar Call
Ask those who wish to be filled with the Holy Spirit to come to the Altar. Gather around each of them (helpers and all) praying for each child to be filled with the Holy Spirit, evidence of Speaking in Tongues. Those who don't come forward should assist from their seats, stretching one hand towards the person being prayed for, and pray for him/her.
