Virtuous 0 Posted October 26, 2009 TRICKED OR TREATThe true story about Halloween…A fun Holiday or a Trick? What do you think?Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being Priest for Me. Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”Halloween originated with the Celtic civilization about 300 years before the birth of Christ. The Celtic lived in what is now Northern France, Britain and Ireland. The Celtics worshipped many false Gods. They were ruled by Kings who feared a secret priestly society named Druids. The Druids had much power and ruled by terror and sorcery (witchcraft).In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Celtics immigrated to America. With them they brought their filthy traditions and their false gods. These traditions & customs quickly spread among the people of America. Americans have always and still search for the truth and the “something more” out there. Because we did not take time to research the Celtics customs, we have allowed their traditions to evolve into a “fun holiday”. This fun holiday has consumed the United States with terror, taking with it kidnapped and sacrificed to the glory of satan. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!! One of their most powerful god was the god of death “samhain”. Better known today as satan, the devil and or lucifer. It was said that this god of death would allow the spirits of the dead to return to their homes on the night before the New year began…According to the Celtic calendar this was on October 31. Food was to be placed on the steps of the homes of where the spirits were to return (that is how the tradition of the pumpkin came about). If the spirits came home and found no food waiting for them, they would put a curse on the family living there.The Celtics walked in such fear that they would run into an angry spirit, that they would dress up as spirits in hopes that they would be passed up as being one of them and not be harmed (this is where the tradition of dressing up in costumes and going from door to door saying “Trick or Treat” originated).In the 18th Century, the Pope established “All Saints Day” on November 1st. This was an attempt to separate Christians from the practice of the evil Druids. Because of the closeness of the date, the ungodly festival moved right into the Church backfiring on God’s people. Halloween originated as an evil celebration giving honor to satan. By reading into the activities today, we can see that, it hasn’t changed at all. Halloween still serves the same spirits, the same god and the same purpose as it did over 2000 years ago.Cannot do without the celebration? Then do it the right way! Give out bible tracts, and children’s’ Christian books with the candy. Here’s an idea, COPY THIS ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO THEIR PARENTS!As parents, your responsibility is to PROTECT and INSTRUCT your children keeping them from physical and spiritual harm. As you have noticed, communities are emphasizing “SAFETY” during Halloween. This is no coincidence. They are very much aware of what goes on during the Halloween period. Satan wants to destroy children. Protect them from the evil that enters their lives during the Halloween season. Fear and spirits can follow and torment them for the rest of their lives, handicapping them with worry, shyness, timidity, and insecurity.Give honor to God and put aside the unholy practice of a pagan religion. I ask you this: “Would a man be pleased if his wife committed adultery one night out of the year just for the fun of it?” In the same way, God’s Heart breaks when He sees this nation of His chosen people celebrating Halloween. It is considered an act of spiritual adultery, one of satan’s clever schemes to separate us from God (interestingly enough, Harry potter comes to mind)! The WORD of GOD leaves no room for compromising. We are told clearly in Thessalonians 5:22 to “abstain from all appearance of evil”. Now that you know the truth, do the right thing and avoid the participation in the celebration of satan’s holiday. CHOOSE LIFE! Confess JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR, TODAY and live forever!“That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”. Romans 10:9-10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lori 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Some more scripture that comes to mind to support what you girls are saying:1st Timothy 4:7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.1st Peter 4:3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil.Ephesians 5:11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.1st Peter 2:11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.2 Corinthians 6:14-18 14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."[c] 17"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."[d] 18"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HisLightbeam 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Whoooh, Amen, and AMen again. You know, we live in the country, country, and lately, early in the morning, there has been knocking at the door, with no one there. I will always say, in whose name do you come? If you have not come in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you are not welcome, go to the dry places. It has happened occasionally, so much so that my nephews were frightened at one time, but I explained who was doing that and that he wanted them to get a spirit of fear. The reason I am mentioning this is that the enemy cannot come into our lives unauthorized. He has to have a doorway in and halloween is just another doorway, with all that it symbolizes.
