If you are not scared of anything or anyone then why can't you tell us whether you feasted on humans or animals and if so, how many victims did you manage to get?

U re so right, Halloween is the devils night.
The West just use pretends to name it as Saints day.
This event takes teens along.

Last week in France a 10yrs old boy hanged himself and was found dead.
Yestaday night in an other village/city, an 11 yrs old boy hanged himself and died in his bed room.
This Western people are been ignorant about the satanic practice of this Halloween, a public holiday is decleared for this nonsense devilish event. Teens Disguised in devilish outfits, drink strong alcoholic and dont sleep home that day.

Evil is much during this period in the West, i went to shop in a small town called Pearl in Germany and found the how the center town was decorated with Satan Statut, it was horrible. And yet they claim its a celebration for tge dead saint. Too bad for ignorant fools.

OLAADEGBU:

The Devil And Halloween

"Neither give place to the devil" (Ephesians 4:27)

Halloween has long been claimed as the high, holy day of Satan worship.  This is the day when witches and warlocks gather to praise their leader and extend his work on Earth.  Festivities are marked by unprecedented evil and blasphemy, with blood sacrifices and hedonistic practices playing prominent parts.

To far too great an extent, Christian families participate in the same, with children (and parents, too) dressing up as demons, ghosts, skeletons, wizards, etc.  We can only surmise how much pleasure Satan derives from this deception.

Satan, we must remember, is the "adversary . . . (who), as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8 ), and many times he disguises himself as "an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14).  We are to "resist (him) steadfast in the faith" (1 Peter 5:9), for, "resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).

Although Satan is acknowledged to be "the prince of this world" (John 14:30), his doom is sure.  "The God of peace shall bruise [literally crush] Satan under your feet shortly" (Romans 16:20).  He will be "cast into the lake of fire and brimstone . . . and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever" (Revelation 20:10).

Until the realization of that ultimate victory is gained, our mission on Earth is to "turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God" (Acts 26:18 ).

Accordingly, let us strive to see that his harmful influence is thwarted on this, his special day.  The children of each community need protection from the evil influences boldly swarming this night.  May we, ourselves, not fall prey to his dark deceptions, and especially in the lives of our children, may we focus their attention on the Light, instead.

Halloween...
October 31, 2014

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1)

Halloween was a corruption of “Hallowed E’en,” the evening before “All Saints Day” in which civil disobedience and sinful license were tolerated prior to the forgiveness and penance sought the next day.

Although the level of debauchery and wickedness has waxed and waned over the centuries, nothing “hallowed” has ever been associated with the practice—until more recent times among evangelical churches. Now we promote a “Harvest Festival” or a “Bible Character Dress-up Night”—much of which encourages the practice of costuming and treats as a harmless alternative.

The difficulty is not with the church activities but with the timing and the association with that which is evil. That obvious connection with a pagan holiday will undermine resolve to “come out from among them, and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

Yes, no doubt that passage warns against an “unequal yoke” in marriage—but its primary focus is on church and individual purity! “What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).

As a parent, I know the pain of restricting my children from participating in the “fun” of Halloween. And as a former pastor, I know the pressure to accommodate the majority of church members who see no “harm” in such things. However, our allegiance and our responsibility are to the Lord, not men (Colossians 3:23). HMM III

Halloween is a great time to share the gospel with hundreds of children and their families.

Words of Comfort: Turn the tables this Halloween

When our family came to the United States back in 1989, Halloween was a big part of the American culture shock. It horrified us to go to supermarkets and see such a personification of evil. We would turn the lights off on the night of Halloween, and go to bed early. If the doorbell rang, we would ignore it, and pray that the kids dressed as demons would go away.

However, one year we decided that we would let our light shine in the darkness. We purchased some candy and placed them and some tracts in plastic bags. That night, over one hundred people came to our door and took Gospel tracts—over one hundred people! The experience was so much easier than going door to door. There was no feeling awkward as I stood in someone else’s property. Neither was there the fear of having a door slammed in my face—because the world came to my door, and I closed it when I wanted to.

Turn the tables on the enemy this Halloween. Make the most evil night of the year into the most evangelistic. Think about it. Isn't the hardest thing about giving people tracts having to approach them? On October 31st, the world will come onto your property, to your door, and they will gladly take tracts from your hands. So put a welcome sign on your lawn. Put the porch light on, and make sure you take advantage of this God-given opportunity to reach the lost.
