Teachers Who Prepare for the Future: Restoring Spirituality – Storytelling(Deuteronomy 6:4~9)
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise(7).
Hymn #361 ‘Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer(Unified Hymn #480)
All over the world, there are people who can’t adjust to home and school or suffer from mental illnesses and stress. In situations like these, Satan uses the strategies of self- centeredness; idol cultures; and even destroys children. In order to accurately communicate what Satan is doing, you must restore the spirituality of children through storytelling. Then, what is the reason and content for restoring spirituality?
1. The Reasons for Restoring Spirituality
Restoring spirituality is essential because everything inside your mind and heart become imprinted in the brain and soul. If you can first calm your thoughts and fill your heart with
thanksgiving and peace, then you’ll be able to concentrate.
Young Remnants have yet to gain many experiences or possess exceptional abilities, but like the Remnants of the Bible, they can become the Spiritual Summit. Through meditation and deep breathing, teachers can help Remnants develop real concentration.
2. The Content for Restoring Spirituality
The Jewish people and the three organizations make good use of storytelling regarding spirituality. They also use examples such as the Three Feasts and the transcendental meditation movement. Likewise, teachers can engage young Remnants with familiar topics, share spiritual stories, and naturally increase concentration through five-minute closed- eye meditation and five-minute forums.
Between the throne in Heaven and you exist prayer, the world, and academics. David enjoyed these blessings extremely well. Teachers must hold onto the mission of storytelling to restore intelligence and spirituality so that disciples like David can arise.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, through “Spiritual Summit Time,” help me to enjoy my talents and spiritual strength given by You. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
