HALLOWEEN
The Danger of Celebrating Halloween
By Kimberly Daniels
Guest Writer
CBN.com – Halloween—October 31—is considered a holiday in the United
States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely
celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia
open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But
is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing?
The word "holiday" means "holy day." But there is nothing holy about
Halloween. The root word of Halloween is "hallow," which means "holy,
consecrated and set apart for service." If this holiday is hallowed,
whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very
easy—Lucifer's!
Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has,
the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is
dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of : the Luciferian Spirit
(the false father); the Antichrist Spirit (the false holy spirit); and
the Spirit of Belial (the false son).
The key word in discussing Halloween is "dedicated." It is dedicated to
darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released
curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has
been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great
measure.
You may ask, "Doesn't God have more power than the devil?" Yes, but He
has given that power to us. If we do not walk in it, we will become the
devil's prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits.
During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in
the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the
fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human
beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been
dedicated and prayed over by witches.
Even the colors of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated.
These colors are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th
or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called "Mabon." During
this season witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from
summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest.
They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).
Mother earth is highly celebrated during the fall demonic harvest.
Witches praise mother earth by bringing her fruits, nuts and herbs.
Demons are loosed during these acts of worship. When nice church folk
lay out their pumpkins on the church lawn, fill their baskets with nuts
and herbs, and fire up their bonfires, the demons get busy. They have no
respect for the church grounds. They respect only the sacrifice and do
not care if it comes from believers or non-believers.
Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I
remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was
in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly
participate in pagan, occult rituals.
The gods of harvest that the witches worship during their fall festivals
are the Corn King and the Harvest Lord. The devil is too stupid to
understand that Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest 365 days a year. But we
cannot be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. When we pray, we bind
the powers of the strong men that people involved in the occult worship.
Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or
treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind
the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on
brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary
cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to
drinking blood and howling at the moon.
While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as "just harmless
fun," the vortexes of hell are releasing new assignments against souls.
Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those
who ignore the spirit realm).
Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties,
going door-to-door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting
pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits.
All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.
The word "occult" means "secret." The danger of Halloween is not in the
scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go
on behind the scenes. These activities include:
Sex with demons
Orgies between animals and humans
Animal and human sacrifices
Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
Revel nights
Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.
Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is
necromancy, or communication with the dead. Séances and contacting
spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of
darkness lurking in the air.
However, Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and
the exceeding greatness of God's power in us (the same power that raised
Christ from the dead). It goes on to say that that Jesus is seated in
heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions
and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are
seated in heavenly places with Jesus, the same demonic activity that is
under His feet is under our feet, too!
People who worship the devil continue to attempt to lift him up. But he
has already been cast out and down! Many are blinded to this fact, but
the day will come when all will know he has been defeated once and for all.
When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we
are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm—and the Word says that God will
spit us out of His mouth. The problem with lukewarm is that it attempts
to mix the things of the devil with the things of God. It is God's
desire that we serve Him alone.
Second Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, "And what agreement has
Christ with Belial?" As believers, we need to answer that question in
our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want
a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshiper.
There is no doubt in my heart that God is not calling us to replace fall
festivals and Halloween activities; rather, He wants us to utterly
destroy the deeds of this season. If you or your family members have
opened the door to any curses that are released during the demonic fall
festivals, renounce them and repent. I already have. Then declare with
me: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"
