Daddy the Superhero
Value: Honor your Father and MotherBrandon and Sean loved superheroes. They loved Superman and Batman and the
Fantastic Four and dozens and dozens more. They rooms were overflowing with action
figures and comic books of all of the most amazing super heroes in the imaginary world
and they knew their names and their stories to the tiniest little detail.
“Tell me the favorite thing you like about a superhero.” Mommy aced them as they
settled in for their evening devotionals.
“Well,” Sean started. “They always defeat evil. Evil monsters and people who want to
hurt innocent people are always wiped out by superheroes when they use their
superhuman powers.” He said making punching thrusts into the air sitting on the couch
with mommy in his footy pajamas.
“What I like is that superheroes are never afraid and always know what to do.” Brandon
added looking into space like he could see his favorite superhero right there in front of
him.
“Well I am going to tell you of a real superhero that you live with. We will call him
SUPERDADDY.” Mommy said happily.
The boys burst into laughter. They thought of their daddy as someone who sat at his
computer working, a shy gentle man with his hair starting to go away. “Daddy isn’t a
superhero!” They said together.
“Well right after you boys were born, daddy and I received Jesus and now Jesus is in our
hearts. You know that don’t you.” Mommy said and both boys nodded.
“Well Satan didn’t want us to have wonderful boys like you who would be raised to serve
god. One day, daddy got up and in his spiritual eyes, he saw the house was full of evil
creatures lurking around trying to find ways to stop God from doing His will in our lives.
Suddenly from far away, daddy heard the trumpet call coming from heaven that was
going to have war with Satan and his demons to defeat them.
Right away daddy put on his superhero armor. He used the sword of the word of God.
And the breastplate of righteousness. Our living room was changed into a huge
battleground between Satan and God’s servants. Your daddy led the attack charging
forward shouting the battle cry. “IN THE NAME OF JESUS.”
The enemy tired to attack. They swarmed around him. Oh, they were nasty and ugly
little evil things. They were angels who fell with Satan and demons and evil spirits like
Jesus cast out of people in the Bible.”
“Oh mommy, I would be so scared to see demons like that.” Sean said his voice
quivering thinking of how brave SUPERDADDY must have been.
“Well SUPERDADDY was filled with the Holy Spirit so he had the boldness of God in
him.” Mommy continued. “He stabbed with the word of God’s word sending the demons
howling from the battle. Once an army of evil things tried to attack our family and daddy
used the super weapon of praise. Raising his mighty sword into the air, he sang the
praises of Jesus and the evil spirits ran in fear form him. The fire of the Holy Spirit like
we read about in Acts was shooting from daddy’s sword and the ends of his fingers
because he was full of God’s power and anointing to fight evil. Finally, SUPERDADDY
stood face to face with the prince of all that was evil himself.
“The devil himself? How could daddy fight him?” Brandon said very frightened
thinking of the daddy he loved facing the most evil thing in the universe.
“Well that’s because your daddy is not only brave and strong and full of the superpowers
of the Holy Spirit but he also knows who he serves. He knew he could count on his Lord
to back him up. He pulled the sword of the word out and declared. “AT THE NAME OF
JESUS, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW.”
“Just then daddy stepped aside and knelt putting his head covered with his helmet to his
sword. From behind him Jesus stepped up and cast Satan away. Jesus spoke the word of
God and banished the evil one from the battle and from our home forever. Then he put a
barrier of protection around us so we can live here in peace and worship God and so
daddy and I can raise you little stinkers to become mighty men of God just like daddy.”
Mommy finished the story tickling Brandon and Sean and making them giggle.
“Oh now, you telling that old story of the battle with Satan again?” Daddy said walking
through and smiling seeing his family playing together.
“Daddy we want to be superheroes just like you!” Sean shouted jumping up to him for a
hug.
“You learn the Bible and how to pray and all the lessons you will learn at church and
Sunday School and Jesus will use you boys to battle evil too. Just you wait and see.”
Daddy said hugging them goodnight. The boys watched daddy the superhero walk away.
To their eyes, he was just a regular dad, but even then, as he walked off, they thought
they saw small flames shoot from his fingers.
