INTRO: (Prayer) MAKE THEM TURN OFF THEIR CELL PHONES! Today we are going to play a game. Get Started:

  1. Choose Your Character: Jesus or Satan.
  2. Choose Your Weapon: Sword (of bible) Belt ( of Truth) Breastplate (of Righteousness) Shield (of Faith).
  3. Choose Your Stage: Planet or Earth.

There are three levels:

  1. Practice with Your Character.
  2. Beat the level!
  3. Beat the Boss!

BODY: Let’s play!

LEVEL 1: PRACTICE!

  1. 2 Corinthians 3:18 – CHANGE = Metamorphosis
  2. ILLUSTRATION: Caterpillar changes little by little into a Butterfly!
  3. Change happens little by little – depending on what you look at! -Psalm 16:8, 105:5, Hebrews 12:2.
  4. RENEWING THE MIND = Character Change! – the more you look at something, the more you become it!
  5. ILLUSTRATION: Tupac / Justin Bieber
  6. Over by your Testimony of Jesus – or BE OVERCOME by your Testimony of the enemy (Revelation 12:11).
  7. VIDEO – Joshua 1:8 – Meditate DAILY on the WORD – Psalm 119:11: Hid WORD in heart to NOT SIN.

LEVEL 2: WIN THE GAME!

  1. In order for your character NOT to die, you have to remain “unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)
  2. Do the opposite, and your character DIES!
  3. Would playing violent games, and watching violent movies, kill your character? 
  4. EXHIBIT A: Adam Lanza, killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut 
  5. The real problem is not only the mental change but also the DISTRACTION from the GAME OF LIFE!

  7. Remember – YOUR CHARACTER is the one FIGHTING – with him you can OVERCOME: 1 John 2:14.
  8. PROPHECY: WARS (Matthew 24:6) and global HATE (2 Timothy 3:2-4).
