Tickles Bear and Sticky Bear were skipping along, on their way to the park one sunny day. All of a sudden Sticky Bear stopped. He had a puzzled look on his face. "Wait a minute." Sticky Bear said. He had seen a picture of a little red devil with horns that morning, and was thinking about it. He asked Tickles. "Tickles, Is the devil really a little red guy with horns and a tail?" Tickles chuckled, then he replied, "No...(hee hee)....the devil doesn't really look like that. That's just a picture somebody made up. I don't really know what he looks like. But I do know some things about him. The devil is the one who is trying to make us not believe in Jesus. The devil tells lies to make people sad. He is the one who tempts us to do wrong. He tries to lead us to do wrong things to take away our joy." "Oh...Sticky Bear said, with a scared look on his face, "I-I-I don't think I want to be friends with him. "Yeah, me neither, " said Tickles. And, do you know what else? He is the one who tries to make people believe things that are not true, and things that hurt us. The devil says things that are opposite of what God tells us in His Word - which is the Bible. So we know that the devil lies, because we know that everything in the Bible is true. I guess you could sum it up by saying there is nothing good about him." "Oh, wow!...I think I'll stay away from him!", said Sticky Bear. "Well, yeah, you can try, but sometimes he finds you, and you can't really get away from him, said Tickles. "Oh no!...He sounds scary!, cried Sticky Bear. "But, we don't have to be afraid of him. God is there to help you fight against him," Tickles answered. "Oh yeah...what do you mean? asked Sticky Bear. Tickles explained, "God helps us when the devil tries to tempt us to sin. (Read 1 John 4:4) That means, that if you are a follower of Jesus, God's Spirit is in you and gives you the power to stand against the devil. God's Spirit lives in us, and gives us the strength to say "no" when the devil tries to get us to do something wrong; and when the devil tries to tell us something different than what is in the Bible, God gives us the power to say "no...that is not true, what the Bible says is true. "Oh, I see...that makes me feel better", Sticky Bear said. "That means I don't have to fight all alone. God is on my side, and since God is the most powerful one, when we rely on God - I win! And when I rely on God, He protects me against all the wrong things that cause trouble in my life...the things that make me cry and and the things that make me feel guilty." "Yes, that's right Sticky Bear...you got it. God is more powerful than anyone or anything. And, when you belong to Him, and you are relying on him, the devil doesn't win...you do. God knows the devil wants to cause trouble for you and make you do wrong things. But, he loves you, so He is there for you, and helps you stand strong against sin and against the devil. So, what do we do when the devil tries to get us to do something wrong? asked Sticky Bear. "Well, you can start off by praying." Pray for strength. Pray to stand strong against the devil. Pray for your friends and family and church. Pray even more when you feel weak. Pray for each other, that you may all have the courage to tell others about Jesus." Let's meet back here again next week (or tomorrow, if you are doing this for VBS). We will learn about all the things that God gives us to help us win the fight against sin, Tickles replied. "I would like that a lot. I'll be sure to come back next week to learn more. Can you help me pray now?", asked Sticky Bear. "Yes, Sticky Bear," Everyone else who wants to join us can close your eyes and fold your hands and pray with us too. (see prayer below) © copyright Virginia Sigle / biblekidsfunzone.com |

Prayer: Dear God, I praise you for being more powerful than anyone or anything. Thank you for loving me so much that you help me be strong. Thank you that you have won the fight over the devil, and that I can win too when I rely on you. Help me to always remember to call on you for help because I can't win on my own. I need your help. Thank you for always being right there to help me whenever I call on you. In Jesus' name, Amen. |
