Wow! Imagine if everyone understood and acted on this truth! Quickly would they discover the joy God has in store for those who trust Him without reservation, without caution. Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to share with each other some stories about a suffering they felt afraid to embrace, but when they did, they rose victorious. (i.e. sports practice, birth, studying for a test, stopping oneself from lashing out at others, etc.)

What is the key to winning spiritual warfare and beating the devil?

Being willing to suffer to do what is right.

What do demons do to try to keep you from being willing to suffer?

They use every form of fear possible to scare you away from mastering a willingness to suffer.
If you are willing to suffer, to overcome the ‘horror of suffering,’ there is nothing in your spiritual life that you can’t attain!

Does God give you everything you need to fight against sin and demons?

Yes!
God is in full control of demons and temptations.

What are the key weapons He gives you?

He gives you Faith, Hope, Love, the rest of the virtues, and the Sacraments, so that you can win the battle with God’s help.

Close with a prayer.

Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
