“The Enemy’s Counterfeit”

Praise Kids October Series: “The Enemy’s Counterfeit”

Why Believers Should Not Celebrate Halloween

We’re living in a day when Satan is no longer “undercover” with his message of magic, strange wizardry, spells, and witchcraft. He’s out in the open aggressively waging battle for the attention of children by packaging his agenda in the most acceptable, seemingly innocent forms.

For this reason, we want to take today’s session to point out the enemy’s tricks that children, without Godly influence, may not be mature enough to discern on their own. Our point is not to give undue attention to the power of the enemy, but to let the children see what they’ve learned gives them the ability to recognize what is God and what is not. Their new found ability to hear His voice will keep them from being deceived by the enemy’s lies.

At points throughout the lesson when you sense you have really made an impact in some area on the children, you may consider pausing. Ask them to check their spirits right then. See if they are able to get in touch with the “red light” or “green light” in the course of your teaching. Always be looking for opportunities to show them God is speaking to them at all times. -Becky Fischer
