2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
THE OPPOSITION
TOPIC: Understanding the Enemy's schemes
MAIN SCRIPTURES: "Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are." (1 Peter 5:8-9, NLT)
"He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44, NLT)
OTHER SCRIPTURES: Psalm 143:3-4; John 10:10; Acts 10:38; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 2 Corinthians 11:14; 1 John 3:8; Revelation 12:17
WHAT JESUS MIGHT SAY TO YOU:
Satan will press you...he knows exactly which buttons to push. He'll do anything to keep you from all that is worthy of your attention. He will attack your heart, the core of who you are. If anything is good or beautiful or life-giving, he'll try to take it from you. Why? Because he's afraid of you. He knows exactly who I have created you to be. You're a threat to him!
Please understand how Satan works. His schemes may seem complex and twisted, but they're actually quite childish and simple. He is just waving his arms around, shouting, "Look over here!" to distract you, scare you, and get you to take your eyes off me. He'll do anything to keep you from the unfathomable love and great adventure I have for you.
He knows your weaknesses and insecurities. Does this sound familiar? "I can't do that because..." or "I'm terrible at this..." or "They're trying to hurt my feelings..." or "I'm not good enough," etc.? Do NOT listen or agree! That's Satan! He strikes at the very core of your emotions, your insecurities, your identity.
Never respond by giving him your time or attention. Recognize the lies. Turn your eyes back to me. Remember who you are, who I made you to be. Don't let him fool you. I will help you fight! We have already won the war. We can take him.
Your Defender, Jesus
SUMMARY CHALLENGE: Keep your eyes open...don't let Satan get the best of you.

THE DARK POWER COLLECTION
Some doors are better left unopened. Some doors, you don't want to find out what lies behind them. In the Forbidden Doors series by bestselling author Bill Myers, teenager Rebecca "Becka" Williams, her younger brother Scott, and her friend Ryan Riordan are swept into heart-stopping encounters with an all-too-real invisible world--a world fraught with deception and spiritual adversaries that promise goodness and enlightenment but will stop at nothing to destroy life, sanity, and human souls.
Learn more about the "Dark Power Collection" here.
Also available in your local Christian bookstore.

JESUS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU
