Sunday School: Lesson from the Car


Authority vs Power Luke 10:19 James 4:7

We have been given authority over all the power of the enemy.
We can confidently resist the devil because authority overruns power.

For instance in our car, power is represented by the engine that sits
under the hood. Authority is represented by the steering wheel.
The engine makes more noise and indeed has more power than the steering wheel.
But it is the steering wheel that determines where the car goes.

Bible Study: Know the Truth


When General Wainwright as a prisoner of war during the second World War realised that the truth of the war's end had been hidden from him he took control.

Wainwright limped to the commandant's office announcing "My commander has defeated your commander.
I am in control now. You must surrender."

So without firing a shot the emaciated, physically handicapped POW took over the camp from the well-fed heavily armed commandant.

Bible Study: Believers Authority

God has given his believers authority to control the power of the enemy.

Are you operating your authority?

Tell the enemy "my commander has defeated your commander."

Jesus has already paid the price. He has won the victory.

The cross completed the victory and his resurrection sealed it.
HIS PEOPLE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE.

Operate your authority!

Devotions: The Prisoner of War

Wainwright’s side had won but he was ignorant of the truth.
He should have been free but he didn’t know it.
He behaved like a POW. He did not know his side had won so he continued to submit to the demand of his captor even though his captor no longer had power over him.

Eventually an American officer walked up to the prisoner of war fence and said, “General, Japan has surrendered.”
Now he responded to the truth.

Wainwright limped to the commandant’s office announcing “My commander has defeated your commander.
I am in control now.

You must surrender.”

This true story is for your Sunday School, Devotions ans Kids group.

Devotions: Satan is Afraid

The enemy superior’s position was based on a lie.

Wainwright’s side had won but he was ignorant of the truth.
He should have been free but he didn’t know it.
He behaved like a POW.
He did not know his side had won so he continued to submit to the demand of his captor even though his captor no longer had power over him.

In the same way we continue to submit to Satan when we do not have to.
Satan is afraid that every believer will discover this truth.
1 John 4:4 “Greater is he that is in you; than he that is in the world.”

Satan has enslaved God's people by hiding the truth.
