WHY SATAN HATES OUR
“CHILDREN!”
John Bond & Paul O’Rourke
John 10:10 NIV “The thief
comes only to steal and kill
and destroy; I have come
that they may have life, and
have it to the full,’’
SATAN HATES OUR
CHILDREN BECAUSE…
• Children are the
brightest reflection of
God’s glory
• Children enjoy an
intimacy with God that
Satan lost
• He fears Children
SATAN HATES OUR
CHILDREN BECAUSE…
• Children represent the
future of the church
• Children have a simple
faith, innocence and
ready ability to believe
the things of God
HOW SATAN USES US TO
STEAL FROM, KILL AND
DESTROY CHILDREN
John Bond & Paul O’Rourke
SATAN USES US TO STEAL
FROM, KILL AND DESTROY
CHILDREN WHEN…
• WE ABORT CHILDREN OR
GIVE BIRTH TO LESS
• WE OPPRESS, EXPLOIT AND
NEGLECT THEM
An estimated 670 million
children live in abject
poverty, 37% of all
children
100 million children live
on the streets of the
cities of the world
There are 10 million child
prostitutes with an
estimated one million
more children added
each year to this vile
trade
One third of children have
to live in dwellings with
more than five people
per room
Over half a billion children
have no toilet facilities
134 million children have
no access to school
246 million children work;
and 171 million of those
are engaged in the worst
forms of child labour
It is adults who sell their
children into the child sex
trade, and adults who use
their services; adults who
force or allow children to
work or fight adult wars;
adults who abuse, neglect
and devalue children
