Though the Eyes of a Child - a Video Devotional With Dustin Tavella and His Sonsਨਮੂਨਾ

Let’s Get Real:

I almost didn’t include this video in the plan.
But then I realized—there’s something so important here.

Silas shared a dream where hands were coming out of the rocks in front of him, trying to grab his feet and trip him up.
But in the dream, he knew something powerful: Jesus was inside him.
And that knowledge gave him the confidence to jump over the hands and keep moving forward.

But then—on the other side—Satan was waiting.
Not attacking.
Not fighting.
Just standing there…trying to scare him.

Big Truth: You Carry Power AND Authority

The dream was a picture of something real:
The enemy can’t stop you with force—so he tries to stop you with fear.

But Silas didn’t back down.
He used his authority in Jesus and commanded Satan to leave.
And that’s when breakthrough came.

Here’s the deal:
If the enemy can get you to forget who you are in Jesus, he doesn’t have to fight you—he can just scare you into quitting.
But when you know the power that’s inside you, you don’t give fear the final word. You stop letting that fear be your guide.

So, What Now?

God is leading you somewhere good.
Healing, freedom, purpose—it’s all up ahead.

The enemy will try to trip you.
He’ll try to scare you.
He’ll even make his path look easier. And you can be confident in this: his path will eventually lead to emptiness and despair 100% of the time.

But don’t forget:
You have Jesus inside you.
And that means you’ve got everything you need to keep going.

Don’t back down.
Don’t turn around.
Move forward in confidence.

Prayer You Can Pray:

Jesus, thank You for living inside me. Help me to remember the authority You’ve given me when fear tries to take over. I don’t want to back down or turn around—I want to follow You forward, no matter what. I know Your path leads to life, and I trust You. Amen.

Bottom Line:

You’ve got Jesus.
You’ve got authority.
Keep moving forward. Fear doesn’t get to lead.
