#3 How the Spirit speaks to us and how He blesses us
YOUTH GOAL PLANNER. LEARN ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST. Youth can learn from these scriptures and record their impressions: God will give us a “new heart” and a “new spirit” as we keep His commandments. He will show us things to come. He will give us love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance as we live and walk in the Spirit. We can receive this gift (confirmation) at baptism. If we trust, the Spirit can enlighten our minds and bring us joy. READ MORE
#4 BEING THERE so God can communicate
YOUTH GOAL PLANNER. DRAW NEAR TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER goal poster. Youth will know what they will do to become close to God as they study these scriptures and spotlight their goals on the poster. You might have a scripture chase to learn ways God loves us and wants us to be close in prayer. For example, “Draw near unto me” and “Service of your God.” Or view the activities that follow, e.g., Patriarchal Blessing Discussion. READ MORE
LESSON IDEAS BELOW
Learn Together
To help those you teach better understand Joel 2:28–29, you could place an object in a bowl and let someone pour water over it. How does this help us understand what it means for the Lord to “pour out [His] spirit upon all flesh”? How are the prophecies in Joel 2:28–29 being fulfilled? Here are some ideas that can help the youth better understand how the Lord is pouring out His Spirit today.
- The scriptures record many instances when the Lord poured out His Spirit upon His people. Reviewing some of these could help the youth better understand how to receive an outpouring of God’s Spirit in their lives. Consider drawing a large pitcher pouring water on the board and asking individuals or small groups to read one or more of the scripture passages in “Supporting Resources.” They could write on the board around the pitcher what the people in their scripture passage did so the Lord could pour out His Spirit and also what blessings followed. When have we felt the Spirit comforting, guiding, or cleansing us?
