“Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day...” Ephesians 6:13
There is a time of year where we can
openly talk about the "evil day". That time of year is undoubtedly
Halloween, which is not only one day but a series of weeks.
It is presented to the children and
their parents as an innocent and fun holiday, but, it not only hides a past and
present great evil, but it is evil even in its presentation (Deuteronomy 18:9-12).
Halloween is a well calculated act of
witchcraft, and actually designed to harm mostly children and young people,
when their parents, through neglect or ignorance, pay no attention to its
spiritual danger.
Why allow our children to participate
in this evil, although apparently just for fun? We as parents have a
responsibility before God to take care of our children. Do not allow your
children to participate in this evil!
Halloween has nothing to do with godly
tradition; it is pure evil, presenting a more or less desirable and innocent
aspect, while hiding an evil abomination that we can never fully discard
Halloween.
REMOVE ALL DISTRACTIONS FROM YOUR LIFE
We are engaged in open warfare, and the
vast majority of believers do no perceive as much. They live engrossed in their
daily work and chores. They do not realize that satin is planning against them,
and is allowed to cast a shadow of black death, and yet the Word of God exhorts
us “lest Satan should get an advantage of
us: for we are not ignorant his devices" (II Corinthians 2:11). One of
the devices of the devil is to lead God's people on a constant distraction.
The devil fears the Christian who
prays, intercedes, cast out demons, but laughs at a distracted Christian. That
kind of Christian does not pose any kind of threat to the enemy of our souls.
A clear example of the distracted
believer is the church of Laodicea (Rev. 3:14). The Laodicéans walked more than
distracted in his own self-sufficiency, in his own mistake of thinking that
they had everything, and they did not need anything. They lived immersed in the
trap of banality and complacency, this is a major distraction.
Today, the same spirit of Laodicea is
more than present in the church sector. The believer, who is spiritually asleep,
is not a threat to the enemy. There are many ways to put the believer to sleep,
one is telling him that to pay attention to the works of the devil, or talk
about the devil, is to bring glory to the devil, and that therefore it is best
to leave any mention of it from our conversations, sermons, teaching, etc.
Anything about his influence and work. The believer then, becomes spiritually
lethargic, and stop fighting, why fight, if the devil was defeated on the
Cross? Taking this last biblical
sentence out of context, he manages to lull the believer to sleep, and
meanwhile, Satan takes immense advantage to continue doing his work of
destruction.
Many believers who are sincere and
intelligent, but they think that the spiritual world has little or no impact on
them. They live with their backs to the spiritual reality, but we cannot pay
more for that luxury. Reality is catching up, and the people of God must learn
to draw their sword and learn to use it against the spiritual enemy.
THE ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN
Halloween was originally a Celtic
festival which was celebrated since the year 300 B.C. The Celtics were
controlled and directed by the Druids, who were nothing but Satanists of the
time (the Druids even exist today, and are very active). The Celts were a people
of northern Europe, scattered throughout England, Ireland and northern France
mainly. This festival marked the beginning of winter. The Druids worshiped the
"god of death", that is to say, the devil. Every October 31, these
witches celebrated the eve of the Celtic new year, in honor of that false deity
called Samhain. They did it so by providing him with human and animal
sacrifices. The festival of Samhain, called "the festival of death",
was officially celebrated and even today is recognized by all Satanists and
occultists.
Those cursed witches went from house to
house, demanding all kinds of food and other things for consumption and to
offer their "god of death". If the villagers did not give these foods
they demanded, they would cast a diabolical spell on their homes, the effect of
which was the death of one of the family members.
They carried with them on that day a
great hollow turnip and a face engraved on the front, representing the satanic
spirit of which they depended for power and knowledge. The turnip was lit by a
candle inside it, which was used as a lantern when they went from house to
house that night. When this practice came to America in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, turnips were not as abundant; the native plant that
replaced it was the pumpkin.
HALLOWEEN, THE BIGGEST SATANIST PARTY OF THE YEAR
Today, the same spirit of exaltation of
evil is still present at this event, even though much effort is made to conceal
it. The devil loves to cause harm through the seemingly naive and inconsequential.
An eminently proven fact is that the night of every October 31, Satanists acts
are performed with human sacrifices, especially of babies, violations of
children and adults, and all kinds of meetings related to the exaltation of
evil, where blood runs in abundance. And with all this, a vast majority of
Christians sleep.
Instead of praying and interceding
against this, many even participate in this festival naively allowing their
children to dress up as witches, skeletons, demons, etc., and play the sad and
regrettable "trick or treat" which originally was nothing more than
to curse, kill and rob the family that did not lend itself to their needs in
the manner in which we will see.
The Druids roamed the neighborhood
house to house demanding a child or a virgin, and between piercing screams, the
sacrifice was consumed. The victims head was torn off, and this was impaled on
a spear. Others were burned alive at the stake.
If the family was able to satisfy the
demands, the druids would leave a large hollow turnip with a candle inside, to
prevent the demons from come in and kill that family. That was considered the
"treat".
But if the family refused, then those
bloodthirsty witches marked the door of the house, and that night Satan had
free entry to destroy this family, the "trick" was serious.
Many will say that it is a thing of the
past, but they are wrong. Every year Halloween has more roots, more strength,
and increasingly is spreading everywhere, taking advantage of schools, colleges
and educational institutions in general and their educational supervisors.
Why is there so much interest in
expanding Halloween? In addition to the usual business that merchants do not
want to lose, there is another reason, far more sinister. It is well known that
Halloween night is the most important of the current Satanist calendar.
We have a firsthand testimony from a
former Satanist, which was one of the very important witches in Western
European and the British Isles, who became a Christian, Doreen Irving. She said
that if Christian parents had any idea what Halloween really is, they would not
even mention that word in front of their children, and all that it entails is
death and fear.
IT IS NOT A FABLE
For many, Halloween is just a costume
party where children take to the streets in search of candy and gifts, the
reality is totally different. This is the problem, when the Christian lives so
dethatched from evil, not fighting it, but rather living with it.
Let's stop being distracted and stop
sleeping. Let's see how effectively we can combat this evil in spiritual terms,
as well as everyone else. Do not forget that we fight against the darkness
(Eph. 6:12).
WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST THE DARKNESS
The Bible says in James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God Resist
the devil and he will flee from you." On many occasions, we face
circumstances like this and do not know what to do. Therefore, we can give some
guidelines that can help us get out of a dangerous situation in the spiritual
realm.
We are well aware that throughout the
month of October, Satanists profess a great evil activity. More specifically,
on the night of October 31, all Satanists worldwide gather to worship the
devil, renewing covenants, cursing Christians, invoke evil spirits, release
demons, and human sacrifices, etc.
What we must do is: First "Submit to God." This means that
we give God control of our lives, doing His will and live in holiness. We must
know His Word and fellowship with Him.
Second: "Resist the devil". Resist the devil, does not mean that
we should stoically withstand any attack of the devil with passivity. This is
not the idea of God when He speaks to resist. By contrast, resist, means
undoing the devil's work confronting him and his army in prayer and
intercession.
We live in a day where we cannot afford
the luxury of spiritual naps. We must be vigilant, because the enemy has risen
as a river. But we give thanks, because when the devil does this, the Spirit of
God, raises a standard against him (Isaiah
59:19). We have the victory secured with Jesus.
I would be very good that on these
days, more so since the day before to the end of the current 31, we that we
pray and fast. We should pray that God have mercy on all those children, young
people, virgins, men and women who are kidnapped with the intention of being
tortured and killed. This is horribly real, and we cannot simply ignore it. Let
us kneel before God and implore His mercy! Let's bind the power of the shed
blood! Let's bind as the Holy Spirit will reveal to us, to all those demons and
evil spirits that haunt the people of God and lead the children of the devil to
undertake the greatest atrocities in order to get more power! (Mt 18:18, Eph. 6:12)
