At church we were reminded of all the great things the Holy Ghost can do for our lives. He is a witness of the divinity and mission of Christ. As a personage of spirt, he has the ability to make impressions on us because he is not restricted by physical limitations. I hope this lesson can be of use to youth ministries, family councils, devotionals and family home evenings.
Object lesson: Microwave, covering, dish rag and a deep bowl of water.
Place a bowl of water in the microwave, put a wash rag next to the bowl. Both should be placed inside the covering. When you turn on the microwave it will boil the water and cause steam to rise from the bowl. The covering captures the moisture and keeps it contained. You will notice that as the steam rises from boiling water the rag gets moist from the steam. It infiltrates the rag with moisture even though the actual water has not touched it.
That is similar of how the Holy Ghost can influence us. It can leave an impression within our minds to testify of Christ. It can also help guide us in understand right and wrong. The Holy Ghost can influence us with impressions of God’s counsel when we seek God’s influence in our decision making.
Just like those who have taken drivers ed. The teacher is our copilot. He or she can be our advisor in telling us how to drive and be safe. He can be our spiritual co-pilot as a part of the God Head of God the Father and his son Jesus Christ. Some may consider the Holy Ghost as our conscience by influencing us to make wise decisions.
Spend time on this topic for your family and class room. Give specific scriptures and examples of how the Holy Ghost has influenced people’s lives. If you have had an experience where you have received an prompting to prayer or got impression to act in a good way, tell that experience. The Holy Ghost is one way God can answer our prayers. The Holy Ghost communicate with our minds and hearts of God message
