 This is Step 1

1. Divide players into groups of 12. Two players are the “Lambs,” 3 players are the “Wolves,” and 7 players are the “Wall.”
   2. Have the protected “Lambs” stand in the middle of the 7 other players. Those players, the “Wall” should stand with their arms locked and backs facing the “Lambs.”
   3. The 3 “Wolves” try to tag a “Lamb.” If a “Lamb” is tagged they are out UNLESS the “Lamb” can quote a Bible verse “Its Says _____ “ any Bible verse will work.
   4. Rotate players, so different players can play the different roles.

Jalaja, the clever housewife: Jalaja, who was suspicious by nature, would deliberately leave small money, a shiny watch that was not working, imitation jewellery, or any attractive object, lying around the house or in the back seat of her car. She would wait to see who would give in to temptation and steal any of these objects. 

Satan too is very clever. He lays attractive traps for us all the time. Every time we fall into his attractive trap, Satan has won.

Satan Tests Jesus: Before Jesus began His public ministry He prepared himself and fasted for 40 days. During this fasting the spirit led Christ into the wilderness. He was tired, thirsty, lonely and hungry. Then Satan came to tempt Jesus. 

Satan: “If you are the Son of God, order these stones to turn into bread.”
Jesus: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Satan: “Throw yourself down from the highest point of this temple. If you are the Son of God, He will send his angel to save you!”
Jesus: “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.”
Satan: (Showing Jesus all the wealth of the world): “I will give you all this, if you fall down and worship me.”
Jesus: “Get away from me Satan for it is written, you should worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.”

Learn to live by the Word of God: Jesus responded to Satan by quoting the word of God. We too should overcome temptation by following the scriptures. Many of our desires are normal but we must satisfy them in the right way and at the right time. We should be careful as Satan cleverly uses our desires to trap us, and make us sin
in order to fulfil the temptation.  

Beware of Satan and his cunning plans to tempt you! Learn to keep the Word of God in your heart.  Learn to apply God’s Word when you face temptation.
Learn to worship and serve only the One True Living God.

When we fail to resist temptation, sin destroys our relationship with God. “Be alert and of sober mind.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”   –I Peter 5:8
