CHILD-FRIENDLY KNOW YOUR ENEMY!

Numbers 13:18 "See what the land is like and find out whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many."

 

Do You Know Who Your Real Enemy Is?

Sometimes, we think people who hurt our feelings are our enemies. But the Bible teaches us something different! Our real enemy isn’t a person—it’s the bad things that try to stop us from doing what God wants. These can be fear, lies, confusion, or even doubt.

Just like the Israelites were told to check out the land God promised them, we also need to look carefully at what’s happening around us. But instead of being scared, we should trust God and remember that He is stronger than any problem!

Bible Heroes Faced Big Challenges Too!

- David fought a giant named Goliath with just a stone and God’s help.

- Samson stood up to a whole army with God’s strength.

- Moses sent spies to check out the land before going in.

They didn’t win because they were the strongest—they won because they trusted God!

What Should We Do?

- Trust God more than our own thoughts.

- Pray when we feel scared or confused.

- Remember that our fight is not against people, but against bad things that try to stop us from following God (Ephesians 6:12).

- Use God’s Word like a sword to fight fear and lies.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR KIDS

1. Have you ever thought someone was your enemy, but maybe it was just a misunderstanding?

2. What are some things that make you feel afraid or unsure?

3. How can you ask God to help you be brave and strong?

4. What promises has God made to you that you want to believe more?

PRAYER: Dear God, sometimes I feel scared or confused. Help me to see things the way You do. Teach me to trust You and not be afraid. Show me who the real enemy is and help me fight with faith, love, and Your Word. I know You are always with me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom, 

MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 6:12 (ICB) "Our fight is not against people. It is against the rulers and the powers and the world’s darkness. It is against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world."

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
