Read for This Week’s Lesson

Memory Verse “So be careful! God’s message to us is alive and powerful. It is like [the same as] a sword that has two sharp edges. Even more than a sword, God’s message goes very deep into us. It cuts between our soul and our spirit. It is like a sharp knife that can cut deep into our body between our bones. God’s message shows what we are really thinking. It shows what we really want” (, EASY).
On November 9, 1989, Günter Schabowski said something on live TV in East Germany that started the fall of the Berlin Wall. Schabowski was the government spokesperson for East Germany’s press. Schabowski made a mistake during a press meeting on TV. He announced that East Germans would be allowed to visit Western Europe. When a reporter asked Schabowski when this change would happen, Schabowski said, “As far as I know, this change happens right away.” Minutes later, many East Germans came to the border and asked to cross into Europe, because of Schabowski’s announcement.
People often are chosen to speak for a company or a country. But what about those people who talk for God? This week, we will look at the power and permission that God’s messengers have. We will ask, “What power do messengers have who didn’t write a book of the Bible?” These messengers include Nathan, John the Baptist, and Ellen G. White.
