“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)
