Treat…Or Trick?

As we approach the end of September my thoughts begin turning to Fall, my favorite time of year. Cooler temperatures, falling leaves, a crockpot full of stew, pumpkin muffins, and the beautiful Fall-colored leaves.

But as I get older and wiser, and the more I learn about what’s happening in the spirit realm all around us, my thoughts are already turning to Halloween, which will take place in a little over a month from now.

Like most children, I enjoyed Halloween growing up. I absolutely LOVED getting oodles of candy! I remember one year my parents and I helped decorate a wagon for our local parade and I went as an old man. I remember taking the soot from our wood stove and putting it on my face. My costume was completed with a pipe, an over-sized coat, and an old hat. I looked like Jed Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies! We had a ball!

But at the age of 23 I became a follower of Jesus Christ, and I began seeing the world through a different lens.

During the 1990’s, I came across 2 Christian tracts detailing the historical background of Halloween. By the time I had my children I knew I and God wanted no part of it for my family.

The problem is not JUST about the history behind the establishment of the holiday.

During the last several years I’ve studied the occult extensively and now I have a MUCH better understanding of what is actually happening TODAY in the physical and unseen spiritual realm, on Halloween night and the days leading up to this Satanic holiday.

I am sickened by what I’ve learned.

In a nutshell, we know from whistle-blowers like Russ Dizdar of ShatterTheDarkness.net that in the days leading up to Halloween, people and animals are being kidnapped and held to be used for torture and sacrifice. Let me say that again:

Did I make that clear enough??

So while children (and adults) are trying to outdo their friends and neighbors by wearing cute or creepy costumes, while they’re decorating their houses and they’re out collecting candy, attending parades, and having parties, while churches are trying to offer Christian alternatives such as having Trunk-Or-Treat get-togethers, people are being tortured and killed to please Satan.

Take a good look at the details: dates, types of celebrations, and types of rituals and sacrifices.

This is sickening.

Below is a link to an important article over at WhyGodReallyExists.com listing 14 things followers of Christ ought to be praying for on Halloween. I would submit that we should be praying for these things the ENTIRE month of October.

This lists includes things like:

Pray and ask God to prevent kidnappings of people for the purpose of human sacrifice on Halloween night.

Pray that God would protect children from being spiritually harmed by eating candy that has been ritually cursed.

and

Pray that God would arrange circumstances so that people who are being prepared for ritual human sacrifice would escape.

Read the entire article HERE. I would encourage you to watch the videos at the end of the article.

So, in light of this information, should Christians (in good conscience) participate in Halloween activities? You decide.
