"DON'T MESS AROUND WITH DEMONS" by Shae Miller and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 99
Now ask students to read the story found in Matthew 8:28-33 and answer the same questions about that story.

OPTION 2:
Divide the class into two groups, giving one group the Acts 19:11-20 passage and the other group Matthew 8:28-33. Each group should plan a news story with a reporter on the scene of the events described in these stories. The reporter should interview the people involved, find out what happened, make comments, etc. When each group has their skit ready, they can record it.

APPLY
Ask one student to read James 2:19
Then ask students to help you make a list of what they learned about demons from the Bible passages. The list should include:
• They do exist
• They mess up people’s lives
• They are powerful.
• Demons shudder before God.

The most important point to make is that demons shudder before God. God is more powerful than demons.
Say: Demons can be bad spiritual powers, but there are other demons that we all face that mess up our lives. What are examples of those demons, or negative forces, in our lives?
After students have named some demons faced by teens, hand out the note cards and pens. Ask them to write down the personal demons they face, and assure them that no one else will see their card.
