Halloween

Halloween

Ephesians 5:10-11

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

We have come to another commercial time of the year. This time is called Halloween. We cannot miss all the activity in the shops and at the local attractions. Supermarkets have aisles dedicated to the promotion of Halloween. They are numerous parties organized for both the young and old.

We are a people, due to mass promotion of Halloween, who are being conditioned to accept and participate in Halloween. Some years back about, this time of year, I spent some time in USA. I was amazed by the large amount of hype surrounding Halloween. People had their houses and their gardens decorated with Halloween paraphernalia. It is interesting that their Pilgrim forefathers knew well of Halloween's occult roots. In fact they banned celebrating Halloween in America. Halloween was not celebrated in this country until 1845. At that time multiplied thousands of Irish emigrants flooded into New York because of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-46. They brought with them an old Druid Holiday they called Halloween. Have you been conditioned by this commercial time of year.

Should Christians participate in the celebration of Halloween?  What does it celebrate? To answer that all we need to do is look at the character of this holiday. It is characterized by:

·        Satan

·        Death

·        Evil

·        Murder

·        Vampires

·        Witches

God’s word says we are to prove what is acceptable to Him. I am sure that it will not take long to prove that Halloween is not godly. Halloween is ungodly barring us from having fellowship with it. Society needs hear the cry of the Christian. It is the cry of reprove.

Young person prove what is acceptable unto the Lord.

The following has been taken from http://www.logosresourcepages.org/HalloweenBook/harm_of.htm

Halloween is harmful because…

1. Many kids are exposed to Witchcraft and occult practices at Halloween activities.
2. It provides "an acceptable" opportunity for witches and other occultists to promote pagan beliefs.
3. Children and even adults are conditioned to be receptive to occult doctrines and practices and are desensitized by the violence and death associated with it’s celebration.
4. Fear can have detrimental affects on people.
5. It provides the opportunity to experiment with the occult to see if it works and an excuse to do evil.
