God and Demons

Troy: “Dada, was the big guy in the Scrooge movie a ghost or demon?”
Me: “He was a ghost.”
Troy: “Well, what did he turn into at the end?”
Me: “What do you mean?”
Troy: “He changed into something with red eyes and his hand turned into a claw.”
Me: “He was still a ghost.”
Troy: “I think he was a demon.”
Me: “Why do you think that?”
Troy: “He looked like a demon. Didn’t he look like a demon?”
Me: “I don’t know, I’ve never seen a demon before…at least not in his true form. Demons can look like humans.”
Troy: “Then, how do you know if it’s a demon?”
Me: “It’s hard to tell, but demons will try to make you do bad things, and they’ll try to get you to stop thinking about God and talking to God. They’ll try to distract you with other things.”
Troy: “And that’s bad, right? Because we shouldn’t stop talking to God.”
Me: “Exactly! God is loving and kind, and He wants to have a relationship with us and talk to us. He wants good things for us. He’s the exact opposite of a demon.”
Troy: “Are demons as powerful as God?”
Me: “No, but we give them power over us by thinking about them and talking about them. Our heart will follow whatever we spend time on, so that’s why we shouldn’t focus so much on demons. We should focus on God.”
Troy: “Yeah, God is good!”
Me: “Yes, He is.”
