Episode 5
Balloons
Balloons I love ‘em but not when they are flat. Nope they need to be filled with air, that is what they are made for. People are made to know and worship God. Check out what Jesus said in this part of the Bible about the how we can be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Read the bible…
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words you hear me say are not my own. They belong to the Father who sent me. 25 “I have spoken all these things while I am still with you. 26 But the Father will send the Friend in my name to help you. The Friend is the Holy Spirit. He will teach you all things. He will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 I leave my peace with you. I give my peace to you. I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid.
John 14:23-30 (NIRV)
