M. -Memorize:
“…The One who
lives in you is greater than the one who lives in the world.” 1 John 4:4
A. -Action: You will need: A plate with a bit of
sides on it, water, pepper & soap (put a dot of dish soap on a plate).
Pour water into
the plate and shake pepper into the water. Talk about how the enemy wants to
fill our minds with doubt, discouragement, fear, and lies. He wants us to think
it’s ok to watch things of the darkness and be apart of things of the darkness
but it isn’t just for fun, it opens a door for the enemy. Get them to touch
their finger into the water. Nothing happens. In our strength and power we have
no authority over the darkness. But when we have given our lives to God and Jesus
lives in us, He has given us His authority over the darkness and He is so much
greater than the enemy. (Link into memory verse). Then get them to touch their finger
into the soap and into the pepper water. As they do the pepper will be pushed back.
Talk about how they have the power in Jesus to push back the darkness, the
lies, the doubt, the fear etc. They can speak, “In Jesus name leave.” And then
they fill their mind with truth. That God loves them, He is for them, He is working
and is greater than the darkness. They can sing a song in their mind that they’ve
learnt from church. Every time they face a situation against darkness they can
picture the pepper and the soap.
P. -Prayer: Pray that they would have eyes to be
able to discern what is of the darkness and the boldness to stand against it in
the power of Jesus. Pray and ask God for a picture of what this would like for
them.
