Holy Ghost & Fire

1st Angle

2nd Angle

What you need:

  • 5 gallon water bottle
  • Alcohol
  • Lighter

How the experiment works:

  • Put a small amount of alcohol in the bottle and shake it for 1-2 minutes (the longer you shake it the better the reaction).
  • Light the end of the bottle and MAKE SURE NOTHING IS IN THE WAY!

Lesson idea (contributed by Bro. James Wang):

  • Crying doesn’t mean you have the Holy Ghost – it means that God is working on you
  • Shake the bottle and say, “The stirring of the Holy Ghost is awesome – let Jesus do it, BUT that isn’t the Holy Ghost
  • Light the bottle and you hear the sound likened to speaking in tongues
  • When you get the Holy Ghost you KNOW IT!

As always, whenever you use fire be very careful to not hurt yourself or others. Keep the children a safe distance away the entire time this is taking place.
