SATAN’S GAME PLAN FOR CHILDREN
1 Samuel 1-4
HOW IMPORTANT IS A FATHER?
• 43% of US children live without their father [US Department of Census]
• Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more
likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as
teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more
likely to get divorced themselves.
• 85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the
average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)
• Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to get A’s in
school.
• 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times
the average. (National Principals Association Report)
• 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of
Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
HOW IMPORTANT IS A FATHER?
• Children living in female headed families with no spouse present had a
poverty rate of 47.6 percent, over 4 times the rate in married-couple
families (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states, “Fatherless
children are at a dramatically greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse.”
• Children of single-parent homes are more than twice as likely to
commit suicide.
• Children living with their married biological father tested at a
significantly higher level than those living with a nonbiological father.
• Being raised by a single mother raises the risk of teen pregnancy,
marrying with less than a high school degree, and forming a marriage
where both partners have less than a high school.
THE SONS OF ELI
Hophni – pugilist (A boxer; one who fights with his fists).
Phinehas – mouth of a serpent.
Belial – worthlessness.
Deu 13:13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from
among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city,
saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
2 Cor. 6:14-15 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath
Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
THE PHASES OF SATAN’S GAME PLAN
Phase One: Compromise the Father.
Pro 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he
that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Phase Two: Corrupt their Faith.
Mar 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house,
and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong
man; and then he will spoil his house.
Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Psa 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will
teach you the fear of the LORD.
