A Story For Daniel…continued

A story for children By Elizabeth Poulsen

Chapter Six 

Well, the boy said, wait till you hear what happened next!
 
As the evil servant watched through the darkness, he felt his power weakening. His army was running back to him! Their weapons had even disappeared!
.
Father/King’s army was everywhere and the invisible chains that he had placed on the children’s lives were being cut off. Their eyes were being touched by someone. Who would dare to interfere with his plan? Who had this kind of power? He thought he knew all the Father’s secrets. Was there something that had been held back from him? Something he didn’t know?
 
Anger began to rise within the evil servant. It rose from the dark places and rang out like thunder. Nooooooo!!! I am to be the victor! I have waited for this moment!
 
He could not understand what was happening. All had been planned so carefully he thought. Only One could do this!
 
Suddenly he felt himself pulled away to another place – to another kingdom – a place Father/King had created for him.
 
Long ago, when Adam and Eve had listened to his lies, he too had been sent from the Garden. No longer could he come and go in the heavenly places either, a place where he once called his home. Father had driven him away to another place far below. This place was created long before Adam and Eve -for Father knew the heart of this servant from the beginning. You see Father knows all things from the very beginning to the very end.
 
This servant’s evil presence would never be welcomed among the friends and faithful servants of the Father, for darkness surrounded the evil servant and the Father’s kingdom was filled with light.
 
From time to time Father would summon him to account for his whereabouts or if he was being cruel to someone that Father decided had need of rescuing. At those times, Father would command the servant to stop his attacks on that place or that person and he would have to obey.
 
Father always watched over the earth and all his children sending them help and messages of his love even though the evil servant tried to interfere every time.
 
This father of lies did not care much for this place the Father/King had put him. He preferred to roam the earthly kingdom created for the children of Adam and Eve. His roar could cause fear and slavery.  For thousands of years it increased his sense of power as he destroyed the dreams of God’s created ones.
 
This evil servant held the keys to sin and death, keys to a door which Adam had opened when he disobeyed his Father and King. In believing the lies of this evil one, Adam and Eve had lost the powers that Father had given to them to rule the earth and care for it. They had lost the protection of living in the Garden where there was eternal life in their midst. They could not walk every day with their Father/King. They would no longer enjoy the wonderful kind of life the Father had created for his children.
 
Sin had entered the heart of Adam and Eve that day and with it death had come to their spiritual life. They could not live forever in their bodies now, and the boy’s eyes filled with tears as he said that all of God’s children would have to pass through death as his mother had a few years before.
 
Now the evil servant felt himself pulled from the scene of the cruel death of the Father’s only Son. From time to time, Father had interfered in his plans and placed him back here. He had wanted to stay longer. He wanted to enjoy what he thought was the fulfillment of his wicked plan. He wanted to watch over the body of this Son of the Father. He had to be sure no-one interfered. One of the followers and friends of the Son had laid the body in his tomb. What if it was stolen? He heard that many people had ………What was this? 
 
Suddenly, he became aware that he was not alone.  Was light entering his domain? Who was this? Why was he suddenly so powerless? Was it? Could it be?
 
Danni sat breathlessly as did everyone in the room waiting, hoping…
