[Teachldsseminary] Teach by the Spirit

[Beth Adams]

I don't always get to my messages to reply on time, but I wanted to let you know what a terriffic idea i thought this was!  I don't always use ideas from the list but I appreciate being able to choose which ones fit my class needs.  I have noticed if I use an object lesson or story every once in awhile then the class gets really quiet and listens more intently.  They often new ways that the scriptures apply to their life right now.  I am grateful I am a little behind some of you so I can use the ideas that you share to put the point across.  
   
  I can't wait to use this idea in class!
   
  Thanks again

  I guess some would consider this "fluff" , but it was quite fun and 
effective anyway.
We were discussing Satan's counterfeits (Pharaoh'a magicians) and I was 
talking about being familiar with the true sacred things of God so that you 
can more easily recognize Satan's tricks, etc. Anyway, I opened up in front 
of them a box of Jelly Bellys. (The night before I had opened the box and 
added some Bertie Botts every Flavored Beans - just the yukky ones - I put 
only enough beans back into the box as I have students (36) then I resealed 
the box with glue). I emptied out the box into a bowl and said that for 
those who are familiar with Jelly Bellys they will easily be able to know 
which beans are which flavour. I had them each take a bean out of the bowl, 
but not to eat it yet. After every one rec'd a bean I then informed them 
that there were counterfeits among the beans, but because they weren't 
watching for them and being wary of evil, they didn't recognize it. I then 
had them all pop the beans into their mouths. I had some kids running for 
the garbage real quick. It was hilarious.

ps: I also made up the plague jars and they are a big hit.
