I’ll admit it – I’m reluctant to have the conversation with my kids. You know, the one where I explain the spiritual realities and pitfalls. Maybe they’re too young… If I did it right now, they would be terrified.
But it’s not too early for the prep work. I can look for opportunities to lay the
foundation for the full lesson at a later time; I can listen for any
experiences they may have and be ready to deal with and explain them, on an
age-appropriate level.
I’m a Sunday school teacher for elementary aged kids; I can look
for opportunities to speak the truth about spiritual forces and Christ’s
authority.
When it comes down to it, it’s not hard or complicated. I just need to think through the words I
would use.
I appreciate Neil’s conclusion: Knowing his [the devil’s]
schemes and learning to resist him and take authority over him is the biblical
response…the fear of the Lord is the one fear that expels all other fears.
