Winning the Battle
Teaching Notes
In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.
Judges 21:25
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
Fear/Control Loop:
● When I’m afraid, I seek to control.
● When I seek to control, it makes me more afraid.
Our primary job is not to protect our kids.
But the Lord says,…I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children.
Isaiah 49:25
4 BATTLE SHIFTS:
1. A shift from protection to preparation.
Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it.
Proverbs 22:6
Grit mattered more than intelligence, talent, leadership, ability, or physical fitness.
Tim Elmore, Generation Z Unfiltered
2. Shift from protection to potential.
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Joel 2:28
3. Shift from protection to His promise.
For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.
Acts 2:38-39
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Paul, Ephesians 3:20-21
It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
Jesus, Revelation 21:6
4. Shift from protection to prayer.
...how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
Jesus, Luke 11:11-13
Our greatest prayer is not “Lord, protect our kids.”
Our greatest prayer is “Holy Spirit come.”
