Luke 15:11-13

Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.

The trump card is the winning card even if your opponent has a high card.  It trumps your card and wins.

If we are not careful as believers, we give Satan a trump card in our lives.

Three areas that could be trump cards from the story of the Prodigal Son:

1.         SECRETS

Secrets start in your mind and then the enemy helps you devise a plan to carry them out.

2.         SIN

Sin always takes you farther than you want to go, cost you more than you wanted to pay, and requires more than you wanted to give.            

3.         SHAME

You can know you are forgiven, but you can still feel shame because of what you have done in the past.

You want to win the Trump Card Battle?  Hold onto your own trump card – the cross!  Satan my hold the two of spades, but God holds the ace of spades!
