|
Goal: Identify how, after the Spirit of God stirs up a child of God, a child of God will begin a pattern of behaviors by Seed 1 growing fruit of the spirit that has faith in Jesus or Seed 2 growing behaviors that have faith the “acts” or works of the flesh that deny our Lord Jesus. |
(Needed Materials: Paper plate, spaghetti sticks, mini marshmallows)  Welcome! Connect two spaghetti sticks to one mini marshmallow. This is an example of how the Spirit of God stirs up and awakens the tears of remembrance to grow the internal fruit of the spirit. By connecting marshmallows  to spaghetti sticks, this identifies if a child of God is a Seed 1 or a Seed 2. This pattern identifies how the Spirit of God will fill the 1st Internal Spiritual Pillar of Sanctification with fruit of the spirit in a child of God who is a Seed 1, but the 1st Internal Spiritual Pillar of Sanctification of Seed 2’s life will crumble. Seed 2 will work to justify the thin veil covering Seed 2. Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to share the joy of the Lord by recognizing how to be happy with what I have and not wanting what I don’t have. I am eager to share what I have with others.” Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to share the patience of the Lord by being a driver who is patient with drivers who are not making good choices.” Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to share the goodness of the Lord by taking time to explain the message of how God offers grace for faith in His Son Jesus, who made a sacrifice and did away with any curses so we can receive a blessing of the Lord. I will also include a message that God has statutes and judgments for sin.” Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to share the faithfulness of the Lord by remembering to have behaviors that have faith in Christ. Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to have the self-control of the Lord by waiting to react when someone tries to trigger a response.” Connect a spaghetti stick to a marshmallow and say, “When I am stirred up, I will remember to share the peace of my Lord Jesus Christ.” The Spirit of God stirs up a seed to receive a blessing to grow into fruit of the Spirit to fill the 1st Spiritual Pillar of Sanctification; the other option is to work to keep your thin veil from ripping. This is how a seed is stirred up to identify if a child of God is a seed 1 or a seed 2. Compare a flat piece of paper to the marshmallow design to represent having internal fruit of the spirit and the flat piece of paper that does not have fruit of the spirit. |
How it works! When a child of God is stirred up to respond emotionally, they will identify whether they are a Seed 1 who accepts the blessings to build Jesus’ church or a Seed 2 who works for blessings to keep the veil from ripping to expose the lie that they have no fruit of spirit. |
What Old Testament Bible Book Teaches This? In the book of Exodus, the descendants of Abraham were living in Egypt, just as God told Abraham that his descendants would be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and also would serve and be afflicted and oppressed by them for four hundred years. A key revelation of inner sanctification is that after the Israelites got out of Egypt, they had to get Egypt out of them. The pattern of sanctification is established upon the children of Israel leaving Egypt. After leaving, the Egyptians caught up with the children of Israel at Pi-hahiroth. The Israelites looked back and said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Moses told the children of Israel, “Do not be afraid… The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:13–14). God stirred up the children of Israel with the miracles of God blessing them. The miracles of God opened up the Red Sea so the children of Israel could pass through; then the Red Sea closed, and all the Egyptians following them were covered with water and buried in the sea. The children of Israel saw the miracles as a blessing, whereas the Egyptians saw the miracles of the Lord as a curse.
Upon leaving Egypt, Moses told the Israelites to rest in the Lord on the Sabbath so they could begin to know the Lord and begin to build the Lord’s tabernacle. This is how the Israelites began to be sanctified. God blessed the seventh day as a ‘sanctification reminder’. Ignoring the sabbath shows disregard for God’s sanctifying authority. After the Lord stirred up the Israelites, the Israelites who knew the Lord began to give materials and labor to build the Lord’s tabernacle after they were stirred up. When God stirred up the Israelites, everyone whose heart was stirred up gave willingly to build the Lord’s tabernacle. It was important for the children of Israel to remember the Sabbath is a sign of God’s sanctifying work on His people lest, when God stirred them up, they deny God. The people in the Old Testament were still able to sanctify themselves by remembering the Sabbath to rest in the Lord. People were not working in the past because a curse would knock them down. When the Egyptians who were following the children of Israel denied the blessing of God, they did not have an option to work for a blessing. People were not working in the past because a curse would come upon them. Now, because Jesus took our curse that we might receive a blessing, people today think that because they do not receive a curse that they are just blessed. The Old Testament did not leave room to work for a blessing. When the Israelites were blessed, the Gentiles were cursed. Today people are working to cover that they are not building Jesus’ church. However, if someone does not unveil themselves, they will deny the blessing that comes from faith in Christ and work for a blessing. Jesus became the curse so we can build his church. When we are not filling the 1st Spiritual Pillar of Sanctification with fruit of the Spirit, we are denying Jesus as our Savior. |
What New Testament Bible Book Teaches This? Being sanctified means being stirred up to awaken and fill the 1st Spiritual Pillar of Sanctification with fruit of the spirit to build Jesus’ church. As it is written in 2 Timothy 1-6, “For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” Paul urges Timothy to stir up or fan into flame the spiritual gift God has given him, reminding him to actively cultivate and use it for God’s glory. The gift is internal, so believers must nurture it through prayer, Scripture, and service.
In 2 Peter 3: 1-2 it is written, “Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of a reminder, to remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.” Peter prays to stir up your pure minds by way of reminder, meaning to awaken and renew believers’ focus on God’s truth and purpose.
As it is written in Galatians 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” This passage from the New American Standard Bible is part of Paul’s teaching where he describes the spiritual qualities that the Holy Spirit produces in believers. These ‘fruits’ are contrasted with the works of the flesh, which deny the sacrifice Christ made.
As it is written in Galatians 5:19–21 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
We have been set free, and Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. The curse that locked us up in condemnation was taken and put on Christ. (John 8:36; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Acts 13:38). |
Optional Extra Learning - Overachievers can make a deeper connection with this video. BLOG: Complete the BLOG below. Write a Statement of Faith: How to be sanctified by the spirit by the Spirit of God blessing good fruit through faith in Jesus. I provide an example with my statement of faith of how to be sanctified by the Spirit of God thorough faith in Jesus. Please view my example and then write your example in the blog that follows. There is no need to identify yourself. This blog is unanimous. This blog is between you and the Spirit of God through your faith in Jesus. When I am stirred up to awaken, I will remember to accept the blessing of the Spirit of God and share the joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness, self-control, and peaceful fruit of the Lord with the world. I will awaken as an autonomous learner. An autonomous learner takes full responsibility for learning by actively awakening to remember that Christ had all my curses laid on him so I can share the fruit of the Lord with others. I do not want to try and work for what Christ has already done. |
