3. Cut along the fold, but not through the strips at each end.

   Message

(Hold up the sheet of paper and ask the audience if they believe you can cut a hole in the paper large enough for a man to walk through.) Impossible - you say? It may be impossible for man, but did you know that our God specializes in doing things that seem impossible. (Begin cutting using instructions above.)

As you cut talk of the "impossible" things that God has done. Give examples of miracles from Scripture and/or events from modern day. The Bible says that, what is impossible for man is possible with God. With Him all things are possible. (Open to reveal the hole that is large enough to walk through.)

This paper tear can also be performed with a notecard. it will make a hole large enough to fit around a person's head.
