Night Terrors
The consequences of such role-playing strategies on our children are profound. Several parents have shared with me that, in the initial stages of the game, it was common for their children to have nightmares and wake up screaming in fear.
After briefly speaking on this subject at a conference, a mother came up to me the following day. With great excitement she said, "Last night my son's nightmares instantly stopped!" She had previously removed all Pokemon paraphernalia from her son's room, but his night terrors still remained. As she prayed, the Lord gave her a supernatural word of knowledge: her son had hidden a Pokemon card among his stack of baseball cards. After attending my conference, she returned home and spoke with her son about the game. He reluctantly confessed to keeping a card. After explaining the spiritual problems associated with the game, they went to their fireplace together and burned the remaining card. For the first time in months, her son slept through the night peacefully. When he awoke, he was in a good mood, which had not been true since the nightmares began.
