Slandering and Defaming is satanic.

Many wicked people today looking for places of gossip, slander and destroying good people's reputations, dead and alive either by defaming the character of others either on-line or somewhere on the internet or any media with their false statements on web site, blog posts or through comment those who are walking rightly. We all of us have often been deeply hurt by some people, friends and relationships at some point of our life when they have attempted to use free of speech or freedom of speech to destroy us either by slandering or gossiping in their hatred . Proverbs 10:18 says that He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” Such hateful people attack, degrade and bring into question the character of Godly people. They get pleasure to slander our good name and say all manner of evil things against us and thereby destroy our valuable credibility by fabricating every malicious lie. Their intention is to harass and ruin the good reputation the person has. Even after that person is dead and gone, the slanderous information will forever be stored on the internet, circulating for people to read. Whether the allegation are true or false doesn't matter, because people will never stop looking down or insulting for the rest of your life.


These are the people who are habitually malicious slanderers, who do not know God, who do not obey and follow his commandments and are blinded by their own self-righteousness, pride and have failed to acknowledge their own sins and faults and do not posses a transformed nature in Christ, do not have certainly a new creation in Christ Jesus rather they have evil nature of the evil one. .They are attempting to publicly justify their wickedness and maliciously plotting against the righteous waiting to destroy their name, assassinate their character and discredit their work for God, spread rumors. God’s word says in Ecclesiastes 9:18 that one sinner destroys much good, and the most effective means of destroying someone is with slander.

God sees everything and will punish the hypocrites who condemn the righteous, while overlooking the sins of the wicked (Romans 12:19).

Because of many such wicked hatred malicious people, millions of lives have been destroyed. many families are in trouble, there is a broken families and relationships, there is anger, there is persecution, many marriages have broken and people have been separated, divorced etc and some may have even committed suicide. . leaving deep scarring wounds in the soul of the one slandered, in every dimension of life.

Gods word says that Satan is called the accuser of our brethren (Revelation 12:10). It is characteristic of those children of Satan, those who are driven, guided...as Paul says in Ephesians 2...by the prince of the power of the air, whose lives are dominated by the rulers of darkness. Those are the people who lie and slander. It is spawned then by Satan in the wicked hearts of sinners whose character it reveals. It is released through hate. Jesus, it says, "They hated Me without a cause." And behind the hate isthere is  envy...behind the hate there is jealousy   and behind wicked heart there is proudness and selfrighteousness. In Romans 1:30 it describes the unregenerate, ungodly world as backbiters...haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things.


It is a sin to assassinate a person's character behind their back. Defaming someone’s character can result in civil lawsuit. Most harmful slander is done under the pretense of good intentions. God wants us to stand up against the evildoers (Psalm 94:16). We need to place the difficult into God's hands for judgment. And he says, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, theft, false witness, blasphemies." They come out of the heart.

These are the characters of the wicked people in scriptures: They are the lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. They Creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Their feet that are quick to rush into evil and delight in the very things God warns against and for which He threatens judgment and wrath. They slay those whose ways are upright. The wicked person watches the righteous person and seeks to kill him. turn the grace of our God into lewdness They Will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons , speaking lies in hypocrisy. They will not endure sound doctrine instead, to suit their own desires; they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. They call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness. God says Wicked shall not prevail.



(Taken from verses 2Timothy 3:2-5, Psalm 36, Psalm 37:14, Psalm 37:32, Isaiah 13:11)

Claiming to be Christians yet celebrating Halloween?

October 31st is the Halloween the biggest occultic pagan satanic holy day where Satan is the author of Halloween .Children and many young people disguise themselves, paint their faces, dress up in ugly scary costumes, and go door to door collecting treats or candy and playing tricks on people , and the adults often decorate their houses with ghostly figures, Cobwebs ,carve scary faces on pumpkins, and put candles in them to create “Jack-O-Lanterns often such people forget that Satan is the father of liars. Satan and its demons are working relentlessly to corrupt, to deceive others to create confusion and division, discouragement, to take the people away from God or to manipulate us and hinder our work for God and the growth of our faith distracted us with evil imaginations and evil occult practices from growing in the Lord and serving Him, to doubt God's Word in perverted interpretations to present false gospel by twisted truth, to influence worldly way instead of godly ways, to justify their false doctrines, to break the commandments and laws of God.


The statistics says that on Halloween night there is a tremendous increase of all kinds of violent crimes, drug crimes, kidnappings, sex related crimes etc.


Many Christians are still lost.Where in the bible it says that Christians to be a part of devil celebration? God commands us to SEPARATE from the sinful world and not to help them by befriending their wickedness. The simple fact that Halloween is associated with heathen worldly sources proves that they are of the Devil. They do not realize what they are doing has its roots in witchcraft and the practices of false religions. It reflects wickedness, rebellion. In fact, many Christians defend themselves saying they take part in Halloween party as a way to express their faith. But is this true? Those who defend and promote Halloween want others to join them in their often rebellion-laced decision. Most professed Christians have no fear of God (Matt 7:21-23) which the Bible says is a sign of an unregenerate mind (Romans 3:18) a rebellious and stiff-necked people prone to sin. Halloween is celebrated by heathen people who didn't know the God. It carries a pagan significance and there is no Christian significance .We are to detest all that is evil (Romans 12:9) but sadly we approve or tolerate things that God hates instead of exposing or Confronting Evil. God wants us to hate evil and cling to what is good .As true believers, we must stand uncompromisingly against the works of flesh, darkness and works of Satan. There are many wicked people who keep one foot in Gods word and another foot in devils world and enjoy everything in the world like heathens yet they say they are Christians. We are reminded in1 Corinthians 10:21 that Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Many people are bold, proud and unashamed of their sin have become desensitized to sin and have lost their senses to differentiate between good and evil during the end times. Some even justify their disobedience to the Word of God by twisting the Scriptures to justify their lifestyle and preach the doctrine of devils by preaching the false gospel. The wicked people choose to sin against God and then God allows their sinful desires to control them. These wicked people refuse God's truth, prefer lie and justify their wrong doings. Some Christians believe that Halloween is simply a bunch of harmless fun or it’s a celebration to dress up in costumes or it’s an occasion to play tricks and treats or candies but it’s a Satan's lie. How can children having fun are related to demonic activity. This is the deception that Satan has used to cover our eyes. Some parents encourage their children to participate in the world of demons Instead of teaching godly values surrounding themselves with what is good and to "walk as children of light" (Eph. 5:8) we are exposing our children’s to unfruitful works of darkness. Satan loves Halloween because it glamorizes the powers of darkness, drawing little kids into his kingdom. NO true Christian can serve two masters. There are many pretend to be godly men and women and appear to be solid Christian believer .However, their "fruit" eventually reveals them to be the opposite of what they claimed to be and they a form of godliness. In this, they follow the example of Satan, "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve" (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).In 1st John, Chapter 2:3 and we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, "I know God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

Satan persuades some Christians that they can still hold to God's truth while indulging a sin because Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good" (Titus 2:11-14).

The Bible tells us that we are to be a good example, showing others the love of Christ through our behavior and life styles. We should do all we can to bring others into God's Kingdom and never do anything that would cause a person to stumble in his Christian walk. You need to choose this day that you will serve. You can serve God and ask Him to clean up your life, or you can continue serving your own fleshly desires which leads to indirectly serving devil. (1 Tim 4:12, John 13:15). Christians must not give place to the devil by participating in the TRICK-OR-TREAT RITUAL because this ritual symbolizes human sacrifice and is an abomination in the sight of God. Just because one say that they do not worship Satan, God does not give them right to train their children to serve devil one night out of the year in the name of fun, candy or nasty costumes. The Bible commands us to, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. But we instead of training our children in the ways of God we teach them the ways of Devil.


Some of the people may not accept what I have written because the bible says “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14”.


Scripture warnings: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4


When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who…practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium, or spiritist or who consults the dead. Deuteronomy 18:9-11

'I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people. Leviticus 20:6

He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger. 2 Chronicles 33:6


For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king." 1 Samuel 15:23

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:11

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s Table and of the table of demons. 1 Corinthians 10:21

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21.


But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:8

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. Jeremiah 10:2

But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself. Ezekiel 3:19

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. John 3:20


Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." 1 Corinthians 15:33

Devil Goes to Church masquerading as an angel of light!

It’s amazing how some of us can read the word of God that says do not fornicate, commit adultery, lie, still, bear false witness, be a drunkard, be a fraud, be a conman etc and know we do some of these things on a regular basis and yet are not in the least bit disturbed. We are commanded by God to preach the truth but never to compromise for any reason .We are to love everyone, but love does not mean that we should stop hating sin. . As true believers, we must stand uncompromisingly against the works of flesh, darkness and works of Satan. Many Christians think that just because it says in one verse that 'if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord then you will be saved', all they need to do is just that and they will be saved.


But often they forget that devils do the same For Eg. In Luke 4:41 .....'And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. As believers, we are commanded by God to "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, and BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD. Christianity is not a Sunday affair Nor a momentary emotional experience but a daily love affair with Jesus Christ and a lifetime commitment.

Many have prophesied "in the name of the LORD" (Deut. 18:22), but "they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD" (Jer. 23:16).

God commands us to SEPARATE from the sinful world and not to help them by befriending their wickedness. There are many wicked people who keep one foot in Gods word and another foot in devils world and enjoy everything in the world like heathens yet they say they are Christians. I am not condemning anyone nor offending anyone but as a believer we have an obligation to tell truth and to rebuke sin judge righteously by being a Godly example pursuing righteousness. God wants us to always speak the truth. It is almost impossible to reveal the truth to those who follow a lie and those who believe the lies comfort themselves with each other. Such people encourage each other to believe the lies they have been taught” He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit etc . The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight" (PROVERBS 12:17,19,22).

We are reminded in1 Corinthians 10:21 that Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Many church goers who are as lost as those who will not set foot in a church. Satan does not mind if you are religious or lukewarm hearted as long as you don’t obey Gods commandments and laws and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

There are some Christians who say “He goes to church and he is a nice Guy and a type of spiritual man” but these are people in this world who see no harm in committing fornication, lying, being dishonest, cheating, causing injustice etc. So many people today think they are doing something good for the Lord but they are actually doing it for the Devil. These people present an outward appearance of holiness daily and still serve as a poor Christian witness and stumbling block for others (Matthew 23:27-28). To live as a Christian, is not just professing by mouth but to live accordingly as much as possible.

Devil and its demons are working relentlessly to corrupt & to deceive others. But people often forget that devil also goes for church to create confusion and division, discouragement, to take the people away from God or to manipulate us and hinder our work for God and the growth of our faith, distract us with evil imaginations from growing in the Lord and serving Him, to doubt God’s Word in perverted interpretations to present false gospel by twisted truth, to influence worldly way instead of godly ways, to justify their false doctrines, to break the commandments and laws of God.

There are many pretend to be godly men and women and appear to be solid Christian believer .However, their “fruit” eventually reveals them to be the opposite of what they claimed to be and they a form of godliness. In this, they follow the example of Satan, “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

Here is what the scriptures say:

I Peter 5:8, “Be of sober spirit be on the alert. Your adversary the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, sneaking someone to devour.”

James 2:19 says, “You believe that God is one. You do well! The demons also believe, and shudder‟.”

II Tim. 3:5 says that these people are, "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these.”

Ephesians 6:12 says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Bible says in II Cor. 11:13-15: "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, it not surprising if his servants disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.”

1st John, Chapter 2:3 and we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. 6 Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

Overcome Evil spirits by the Power of the Holy Spirit!

Evil spirits are the enemies of Christ and of man. The Bible teaches that sin originates from the devil (1John 3:8). Only when a person distances himself from God by a sinful way of life and plunges into the darkness of disbelief and the passions he is inviting evil spirit in his life. Scripture speaks repeatedly of Satan being the father of lies and a deceiver (John 8:44; 2 Thessalonians 2:9) and he disguises himself an angel of light. Which means that even if something appears to be good in all aspects of it, yet in the end doesn't glorify God, then it's from the devil disguising himself as an angel.


Evil spirits are from God their purpose is to destroy that which is already doomed to destruction. They have a role to play in accomplishing God's will and purpose in this earth so that as many people as possible can come to know Christ. In Psalm 78:49, God judged Israel "by sending evil angels among them." In Judges 9:23, "God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem." In 1Kings 22:22, God sent a "lying spirit" in the mouth of the false prophets to send Ahab to his death. When God removes His protective hand, he often turns the person over to Satan for destruction or to an evil spirit for torment.

The Bible has many names for evil spirits:

Deaf and dumb spirit (Mark 9:17-29)

Evil spirit (Luke 7:21; Acts 19:12-13)

Familiar spirit (I Samuel 28:7)

Foul spirit (Mark 9:25)

Lying spirit (II Chronicles 18:20-22)

Perverse spirit (Isaiah 19:14; Romans 1:17-32)

Seducing spirit (I Timothy 4:1)

Spirit of an unclean devil (Luke 4:33)

Spirit of antichrist (I John 4:3)

Spirit of bondage (Romans 8:15)

Spirit of death (I Corinthians 10:10, 15:26)

Spirit of divination (Acts 16:16)

Spirit of error (I John 4:6)

Spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7)

Spirit of haughtiness (Proverbs 16:18-19)

Spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3)

Spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:11-13)

Spirit of jealousy (Genesis 4:5-8; Numbers 5:14)

Spirit of slumber (Isaiah 29:10, Romans 11:8)

Spirit of the world (I Corinthians 2:12)

Spirit of whoredoms (Hosea 4:12, 5:4)

Unclean spirit (Mark 6:7; Luke 11:24-26)

An evil spirit can be cast out of a person through the name of Jesus and through his Blood . Jesus gives us a wonderful promise in John 14:16-17, 26, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and moves in the life of the believer to equip him or her in the service of God. We repent and take a decision to turn away from our sins and walk towards God. ‘The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (meekness), self-control against such things there is no law’ (Galatians 5:22 , 23).

The holy spirit is also known by many names a Comforter , Counselor , Advocate, Convicter of sin, Indweller of believers,Intercessor,Spirit of Truth,spirit of God/Christ/life,teacher,witness etc. Romans 8:9 tells us that if a person does not possess the Holy Spirit, he or she does not belong to Christ: “You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.” Ephesians 1:13-14 teaches us that the Holy Spirit is the seal of salvation for all those who believe: “Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise of his glory.”

When one becomes born of God and surrenders their life over to Jesus Christ, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit and become a child of God. We can conquer the Evil spirit through the precious blood of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, prayer, fasting, by the whole armor of God and By the Name of Jesus Christ.

Halloween!

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines" for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15

Foxes sometimes in search of food would enter the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop, he would lose his vine which was more disastrous. Spiritually some things we do or allow, that we might think is little or insigificant, can also be disastrous.

Some may consider celebrating Halloween as on a little compromise. However, it is the "little foxes" that spoil the vines and this little compromise can open the door to other evils. Many Christians do not realize that certain traditions that are celebrated in the world have evil origins. Just because our socitey partakes in certain activities does not make it acceptable for Christians. We must look to Christ and His Word to see if the traditions of this world are good or evil.

One very evil tradition is the celebration of Halloween. No christian should partake in the activities of this holiday, nor should they allow thier children to do so. We can discern the evil of this day by taking a look at the festivities that are associated with it's celebration. Children are dressed up as witches, goblins, ghosts, little devils and fortune tellers. Games played at carnivals promote fear in children as they are ushered through spook houses and horror rooms. Skeletons, black cats and bats represent death and darkness, and their is no carnival without the gypsy who tells fortunes.

Satan has gained man's approval to celebrate his day by simply making it a tradition that seems like a fun day. The opposite is true, however, as more damage and harm are done on this day each year than any other holiday. Children re taught to go door to dorr chanting "trick or treat" it is unchristian to demand a gift under the threat of playing some trick.

Police are on the alert for juvenile vandalism and caution parents to be watchful..

Because so many of us have grown up celebrating Hallowee, and seemingly did not experience any negative effects, some feel that not celebrating Halloween at all is an extreme measure.

However, we would encourage you to pray about this. Is any holiday that glorifies death and darkness (even in fun) a proper thing for a Christain to do since we have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light?

1 Peter 2:9: "But ye are a chosen gereration, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light."

Whether we feel that we have been really hurt by celebrating Halloween or not, is only part of the issue. How does God feel to see His people making light of demons and witchcraft? Shouldn't we be thinking about how to honor Him and show our love to Him? Where do your loyalities lie?

Most Satanists celebrate this as their high holy day and even offer human sacrifices to the devil. Until recently, most Christians have not questioned this traditional celebration, but rather have gone along with it by even bringing Halloween parties into the church, but the Druids in honor of Samhain, "the lord of the dead,"and his demons, whose festival fell on November 1. Halloween actually mean "holy or hallowed evening."

Parents have a responsibility not to allow their children to be exposed to these evil celebrations. What might seem to some as innocent children's games is a "little fox" that can open the door to satanic influences and even demon possession in some cases. Children can be tormented with a spirit of fear that can come through involvement that stays with them throughout their lives.

It also introduces children to witchcraft, making it easier for them to become involved in cults and occult activities. When children are taught it is alright to play with the things of darkness, it does give them repulsion and resistance that they need to stand against greater Satanic involvement. When the things of Satan are taken lightly, as games and fun, it sets our children up to accept evil rather than to resist it. This"little fox" is not only spreading evil to children but has a curse for the church and our nation as well.

As Christians, we should spread the words to others about the evil traditions of Halloween.

Ephesians :6-12: "Let no man decieve you with vain words" for because of these thngs cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobidience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the spirit is goodness and righteousness and truth 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."

Catholics don't celebrate Halloween. On All Saints Day we honor all saints, past, present and future. Satan perverted the all saints day into Halloween day. Yet Satan constantly presents himself as good. In 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 Paul wrote that "Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light and hence became haloween. The first thing we can do as Catholic Christians then is to tell people what Halloween is really about and witness to our faith in the "sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." We can tell others that as Christians "we believe in the Communion of Saints and the Life Everlasting," that those who have died in Christ are actually MORE alive than we, and pray with and for us. Within our homes we can (and should) celebrate the day in our prayers, commemorating and thanking God for all the saints of every age...those known and those unknown...and unite our prayers to theirs in one great paean of praise. The best thing we can do however is to go to Mass. The holy days and feasts are gifts of the Church to us, opportunities to unite with our brothers and sisters and celebrate our common Faith in Jesus Christ, to join with "angels and archangels and all the company of Heaven" in making Eucharist to the Lord of Hosts

In the United States, many early American settlers came from England and they brought various beliefs about ghosts and witches with them. In the 1800's, many immigrants from Ireland and Scotland arrived in the United States and introduced their Halloween traditions. Other groups added their own cultural influences to Halloween customs. German immigrants brought a vivid witchcraft lore, and Haitian and African peoples brought their native voodoo beliefs about black cats, fire, and witchcraft. In the United States, the secular celebration of Halloween combines the diverse holidays and cultural practices of the immigrants who settled here. set of American customs and practices derived from European ones. Scripture speaks repeatedly of Satan being the father of lies and a deceiver (John 8:44; 2 Thessalonians 2:9) and that he also can disguise himself as an angel of light. Likewise, those who follow him, whether human or otherwise, do the same (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). The word of God tells us to "Test all things and cling to that which is good." 1 Thes. 5:21.

Halloween Is just candy and treat?

When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. (Deu 18:9-12)

● Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. (3 John 1:11)

● Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. (1 Th 5:21,22)

● Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. (Rom. 12:9)

● Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (Eph 5:11)

● But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. (Rev 21:8)

● Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. (Acts 19:18,19)

Candy To Children?

To give candy to children is to encourage a practice which is an abomination to God. On that basis alone, no professing Christian should have anything to do with it. Children should be educated on Halloween as to why they should have nothing to do with it, directly or indirectly, even though some apostate churches actually have Halloween parties and celebrations. (Sometimes, in an effort to disguise Halloween parties, some congregations have named it a Fall Festival instead.)

Just because Halloween is gaining in popularity, with its orange decorative lights, etc., doesn’t mean it is innocent and okay with God. It is not innocent nor is it Christian.

According to the Celtic religion, October 31 is the last day of their year and when spirits flood the countryside. It is supposed to be the best time to contact spirits. That has led to the various Halloween symbols and evil practices (including divination and even human sacrifice among the Satanists).

TRICK OR TREAT originally meant giving food to appease evil spirits or something bad like property damage would occur to your house.
