I WILL FOLLOW JESUS.. NO HALLOWEEN

i already know this note will generate the genuine ire of the compromised, those who have not prayed about it, thought about it, who just do not care or do not want to give up their own desires for the sake of JESUS and eternity. So, be that as it may, here goes.

After much prayer and godly counsel, God has revealed to me a more perfect word about Halloween. Halloween is Satan's holiday and therefore, Christians should not participate in it in any way, no dress-up, no trick or treating, no pumpkins (right here i need to say i have repented of partaking in this ritual that may lead to the stumbling of weaker believers), no harvest fests, nothing, period. NO HALLOWEEN PERIOD. No leaven at all (Galatians 5:9). Christians by virtue of who they are in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), are held to a higher standard (Philippians 3:14) and the highest authority in in all creation, our GOD. We are not to participate in Halloween or be a part of any of the world's satanic and pagan rituals, period.

"The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made, in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah.  The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God." PSALM 9:15-17

The unrepentant wicked, heathen and pagan, will be condemned by their own wicked ways, their rejection of JESUS, and spend eternity in hell with the nations that forget GOD.  In this nation we, for the most part, have forgotten GOD. We have turned away and Christians are compromised and tainted with the world. Replacement festivals on Halloween are not the answer. "Nice" pumpkins and costumes are not the answer. The answer is to not partake at all, in any of it. The answer is to take up our cross and follow JESUS, to take the gospel to the lost and dying this day if we do anything. To pray and cry out for the lost this day if we do anything. To come together as a bible reading, praying, holy, righteous, true and good people of GOD in JESUS CHRIST and take the message of salvation to the lost. That is what we do, that is what we teach our children.

"That he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:27 

Every Christian should strive to be found faithful (LUKE 18:8), untainted from the world, holy and righteous in HIS sight, amen.

"Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 JOHN 2:15-17

Abide in God, do His will in this life, it is quickly passing away. Wake up, open your spiritual eyes and see all around us people dying. All around us people dying in floods, earthquakes, famine, wars, violence, all escalating as we come to the end of the age and the return of JESUS. What is Halloween in the light of eternity with our GOD? Well, it all depends on where you want to spend that eternity. It's your choice.

JESUS SAVES
