c. Teach the Lesson (15 minutes)
This teaching is about getting set free! We can have the victory. Jesus won the battle on the cross. Before being set free somebody pushes our button (we all have them).we react, we are not free.

Are you walking in victory?

Johannes 10:10 "Maar een dief komt alleen maar om te stelen en te doden en te vernietigen. Ik ben gekomen om leven te geven en overvloed.".

Are you having life to the full.or are you struggling, just coping at school? Jesus wants to set you free, not teach you how to cope!

We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus..are you a conqueror or are children rejecting you and bullying you? Or are you being conquered by your emotions of anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, rejection, loneliness, doubts, thoughts of suicide?

Most adult Christians don't have the victory,
they are like yoyos! (Use the YoYo to demonstrate)

We are created in God's image.

Genesis 2:7 Toen de Heer God de hemel en de aarde maakte, maakte Hij ook de mens. Hij maakte hem van het stof van de aarde (Lichaam) en blies de levensadem in zijn neus. (Geest) Zo werd de mens een levend wezen. (Ziel)

Walk around with Spirit leading in harmony with God. (Everybody smiling and in unity) Then the fall... (all the children turn and face the other direction, the balloon is deflated and Spirit looks dejected,)

BODY is now in control, following our own desires, controlled by sin, doing as we please.

SOUL is controlled by body, influenced by the world, by what it sees and hears

SIPIRT is now weak, ineffective in bondage

Compliments of https://sermons4kids.com/

But then something happened, it happened one night to a man named Nicodemus who came to talk to Jesus. As Jesus was talking to him, he said something that Nicodemus didn't understand. He told Nicodemus, "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."  Nicodemus was really puzzled by what Jesus said. He just couldn't understand how someone could be born again.

 When it comes out, it is no longer a caterpillar, it has been miraculously changed into a beautiful butterfly. God didn't just take a caterpillar and stick some wings on him! When the cocoon opens and the butterfly crawls out, it is a new creation.

Bible says, "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" When we invite Jesus to come into our heart, we become a new creation. God doesn't just clean us up, He makes us into a new person. Would you rather be a worm or a butterfly? Jesus will make you into a new creation if you will invite him into your heart.

When we become "born again" normally no change takes place in our soul and body. Body -is not born again, the battle is in the mind. Even Apostle Paul struggled.

Read: Romeinen 7:15
"En ik begrijp zelf niet wat ik aan het doen ben. Want ik doe niet wat ik zou wíllen doen. Maar ik doe juist dat wat ik níet wil doen omdat het slecht is."

(Drama: SPIRIT suggest going to church, SOUL goes along with it but BODY is running in the opposite direction, he is dragged along.)

Romeinen 12 : 2
"Jullie moeten niet meer op dezelfde manier leven als de ongelovige mensen. Maar leef als nieuwe mensen, doordat jullie op een nieuwe manier gaan denken, namelijk op Gods manier."

( Drama: SPIRIT is strong, SOUL is transformed, changed and BODY is beginning to come in line.)

6. APPLICATION / ENCOUNTERING GOD:
