A Brief History Of Halloween
AlternativesAn increasing number of people are seeing the dangers
associated with celebrating Halloween. Christians, when exposed to the dark side
of the day, are deciding that celebrating it is not pleasing to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Wise parents are replacing Halloween with family night activities.
Others are having "Glory Gatherings" where all references to Halloween are
removed and wholesome games are played, Christian songs are sung and Christian
videos are shown. Others are using Halloween as a night to pass out Gospel
literature. Whatever you do, "Be not overcome of evil, but over come evil with
good." Romans 12:21 Other Halloween Articles |

Halloween is not Satan's birthday. He was created in
Heaven, and his name was Lucifer. He was a beautiful creature who guarded God's
throne. The he rebelled against God, so their creator the Lord Jesus Christ
kicked him out of Heaven. About a third of the angels rebelled too and were
kicked out with him. They became demons, and Lucifer became Satan. Satan is
alive and well and is busy destroying mankind. He and his demons know their time
is short. They are afraid of Jesus Christ because He created a lake of fire for
them. But Satan wants everybody to fry in hell with him. Unfortunately, he will
get most of them. He is a master deceiver, and Halloween is just one of his
tricks. Kids love Halloween because it is both fun and scary, and of course free
candy. But they have no idea what's behind this celebration. To satanists and
witches, Halloween is no joke. It is their most solemn ceremony of the year. As
we get closer to the Second Coming of Jesus Satanism will increase. So will
human sacrifice! Halloween started in the British Isles with the Druids. October
31st was a night of terror called "Samhain." That night the Druids went house to
house, demanding a child or virgin for human sacrifice. The victim was the
Druids' treat. In exchange for the victim, they left a Jock-O-Lantern with a
lighted candle made of human fat. Which was supposed to prevent Those inside the
home from death demons that night. When some unfortunate couldn't meet the
demands of the Druids, then it was time for the trick. A symbolic hex was drawn
on the front door. That night Satan or his demons would kill someone in that
home. Spellbound, pgs. 13-14 published by Chick Publications. The Druids offered
children in sacrifices. They believed that only "the fruit of the body" offered
to Satan was for the "sin of the soul." The Two Babylons by Hislop, page 232.
The same thing is going on today, only it's much more subtle. Lucifer Dethroned
and Blood on the Door Posts, by William and Sharon Schnoebelen. You must
understand that Satan is one of the most powerful and intelligent creatures God
ever created. Ezekiel 28:12-15 If you think he doesn't exist, then you won't
fight him. Satan's greatest desire is to hurt and destroy people. The children
who are mutilated and murdered every Halloween are no accident. They are
carefully planned sacrifices to Satan, carried out by those who serve and
worship him. Satan loves Halloween because it glamorizes the powers of darkness,
drawing little kids into his realm. And it is paying off, witchcraft is
exploding among teens today. The Lord God hates Halloween and its evil origin.
Satanic human sacrifices are a slap in God's face. To gain control of children's
minds, witches make elaborate incantations calling forth demonic powers to
attack these little ones. Their minds are influenced by these dark powers to
alter their way of thinking. Sin stops everyone from going to heaven. But God,
in His perfect love, provided the way. John 14:6 He sent His Son, Jesus Christ,
to die in our place, and to be our moderator to God in Heaven. Jesus came to
earth to destroy Satan's power. He went to the cross and shed His precious blood
to wash away our sins. 1John 3:8 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life." John 3:16 Jesus shed His precious blood to was away our sins.
1Cor 15:3-4 When you receive Jesus as your Lord, Saviour, and Master, you then
have His power available for you to stand against Satan. "Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee form you." James 4:7
"Giving thanks unto the Father... who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son." Col 1:12-13 If
you believe Jesus died for your sins... and receive Him as your personal Saviour,
you will be saved.
