Halloween a Dangerous Focus

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

I would like to share with you the real danger of Halloween,  as part of the Occult it has a deadly focus and outcome, perhaps you felt it was just a bit of fun but it’s whole message is evil and Christians participation in it, is in direct disobedience to God, which is very dangerous because we will reap what we sow.

My involvement in the Occult started so innocently with a  T.V show called Bewitched, it seemed harmless but dangerous seeds were planted because I longed to be like Samantha the Star of this show, a  good white Witch, not a bad one but they are both the same and so sadly in the end my life became a nightmare of delusion and fear, I could not find the power that was promised although I did search for it which led to very harmful beliefs and practices but thankfully I didn’t become involved with a Coven and Satan worship which is where it could have led and these are the deep things of Satan and even murder is practiced in their sacrifices to him.

But I did do Tara card readings and Astrology Charts  focusing on the daily Stars but the lies weighed heavy on me and I was very troubled and had no peace even having nightmares until I rejected the Occult and all that it involved and then came to true heart repentance .

 God tells us that we will be greatly blessed if we obey His guidelines and we will want to if we Love Him and He tells us not to have anything to do with the deeds of the darkness which is sin and all it leads to.

.

Ephesians 5: 8 -11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light for ( the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)  and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

With Halloween and it’s focus, what seeds are being planted, lets take a look….

Trick a Treat

Children masquerading as Witches,Vampires, Ghosts, Ghouls, Monsters and Fairies,  going door to door, shouting Trick a Treat,  bags being filled up with all sorts of sweets, and other treats and  goodies, parties and playing “tricks,” not always very pleasant when done by Teenagers who have been drinking.

Many  believe that Halloween is  harmless and  just a bit of fun? I did once too but it’s focus is not Godly and never was.

 No matter how innocent or harmless it seems, the activities, focus and presented Characters of Halloween, includes what God calls the spiritually unclean and so is evil and must be rejected.

.

 Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God

 .

What does God tell us  we are to Focus on…….

Philippians 4: 8 Finally, Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are Lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
