Your
child needs to know what to do when he has nightmares or bad
dreams. I taught my daughters and
You can teach them to say, “In the name of Jesus, I will not be afraid!”
and “Jesus is my Lord.” But more importantly, we must become aware of the
television programming, video games, and all other forms of
entertainment available to children today. An enormous amount of
children’s TV programs and electronic games are either overtly or subtly
inundated with witchcraft, magic, and spells. Today there seems to
be an obsession among our young people for everything that has to do
with vampires, wizards, zombies, and the occult.
Many parents become numb and passive, telling themselves that as long as they go to church on Sunday, their children will know the difference and will be all right. We rationalize that the child is wise enough or old enough to know that what he is watching is not real but fantasy.
This belief system is very erroneous. Young children become conditioned at a very young age. They are gullible and believe everything they see and hear. Even if you tell them, “Don’t be afraid; that spider is not real—it’s a robot and will never harm you,” when the spirit of fear makes entry into the child’s heart, nothing you say will make a difference. The child will always feel fear grip his heart and cause it to palpitate within every time he sees a spider, whether real or in a movie.
If a child has constant nightmares, I suggest you leave a tape recorder on all night in his room with praise and worship music at a very low volume. Praise music has a tremendous effect on the atmosphere. Evil spirits dislike praise and worship music.

Find out
if there is anything evil your child plays with, such as toys or games,
videos, movies, or music. Anything with demonic content has the ability to
attract the influence of demons.
