1. OPENING GAME: (10 minutes for Junior Youth)
One person, designated "the stoplight," faces away from the rest of the group. The group lines up as far as they can get from the stoplight. When the stoplight yells "Forgiveness" all participants can move forward. As they move they say, "I forgive you" This will help the stoplight hear when participants get closer. The stoplight can turn around and yell, "Stop!" at anytime to stop the movement forward anyone who moves forward once the command to ‘Stop’ has been issued has to start again. ‘The spotlight’ then turn away from the group and continues the game, the first player to touch the stoplight is told "You are forgiven" They then get to be the next stoplight.

2. TEAM GAMES: (10 minutes for Junior Youth)
You can Trust me’ team game:

Divided into two groups. Make sure that both the groups have the same number of players. Divide the children into pairs and blindfold one child from each pair. Each pair should have one kid who has the blindfold and one who doesn’t. Depending on the level and intensity of the activity, you can let the path be regular or add obstacles. The kid who is not blindfolded has to guide his partner carefully through the path and reach a safe zone. Once all kids are in the safe zone, switch the blindfold and put it on the kids who did not wear it earlier.

3. ACTIVE PRAISE CHORUS: (10 minutes for Junior Youth)
Forgiveness song

4. INTIMATE WORSHIP: (5 minutes for Junior Youth)
This is my desire

5.TEACHING:
a) Review
Last week we learnt about Strongholds. Can someone recite the Memory Verse?
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 1 Corinthians 10: 4

Today we are going to review Forgiveness, what is forgiveness?
• Is a spiritual decision to release the person, entity, institution or group who hurt you, betrayed you
• Is releasing resentment toward the very person who exacted very real hurt on you
• Is dismissing our demand that the person owes us something
• Is releasing the right to be bitter and to get even
• Is releasing the right to hear the words, “I’m sorry.”
• Is an act of our spiritual will a choice we must make

6. APPLICATION/ENCOUNTERING GOD:
Set up the Laptop connected to the sound system to play soft worship music to set the atmosphere.

Remember Jesus wants to set you free, not teach you how to cope! Let us all have a time reflecting on Soul Ties
Thanking God for all the Godly Soul Ties in our lives
• Between parents and their children and brothers and sisters
• Between good friends
• Between brothers and sisters in Christ

Acknowledging and confessing all the Ungodly Soul Ties in our lives
• Between fathers and their sons/daughters
• Between brothers and sisters
• Between you and ungodly companions
• Between believer and unbeliever
• Between sexual partners

For all the Ungodly Soul Ties that may be impacting our lives let’s pray together asking God to show you if you have soul ties that need to be severed. If the Lord brings people to mind or you think there is a possibility of a soul tie, proceed to pray to cut the soul tie.

Make sure that all unforgiveness has been dealt with and you are willing to submit yourself to the Lord and be directed only by His guidance. God demands first place in our hearts. When our strongest soul tie is to God, there is a divine covering and protection that will enable us to withstand forming ungodly soul ties.

CLOSING PRAYER: Thank you, Jesus for dying that I might be set free. I invite You to be Lord of my life, and I ask you to set me free. I confess and repent of my sins. I forgive and loose, in the freedom of my forgiveness, those with whom I have ungodly soul ties. I now renounce any ungodly soul between me and my parents, my brothers and sister, I renounce any ungodly connections I have made with ungodly companions, forgive me for the bad company I have got into, I repent and turn away from these people. I list the soul ties and repeat from sexual sin. I now use the authority I have in Jesus Christ and break and renounce these ungodly soul ties and command all demon spirits to have no further right in me through these relationships in the Name of Jesus. Amen
