Lightning Fell

   The devil is real. Witches are real. And demons are real. They are invisible but exist for the purposes of STEALING, KILLING AND DESTROYING anything and anyone they possibly can. 

   Why? Because satan was thrown out of heaven for corrupting himself with riches, position and violence. Evil was found in him and Jesus said, "I beheld satan as (like?) lightning fall from heaven."
Luke 10:18.

   Halloween originally meant Hallow e'en (evening), or holy evening. It was meant to honor the dead who died for their country.
But the devil quickly turned it into worshiping death.
    
   It is dangerous to join all the evil forces at work on Halloween because satan looses his demonic forces in great numbers to do his works that night. 
   Halloween is death dressed up with frivolity through pagan practices, i.e. apple bobbing, trick or treating, etc. 
   Some demons masquerade as 'familiar spirits.' King Saul sought to hear from the dead through a "Seer" (witch). And he became mad for it. 

   The chief weapon satan has to use against people is F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real.  The devil uses fear in all its ugly forms, such as, worry, doubt, anxiety, confusion, depression, etc.
   Halloween is FEAR based, i.e. fear of death, curses, demonic oppression dressed up as "Fun".

   However, good news. Jesus defeated the devil on the cross of Calvary. He went to hell for our sins and diseases, taking away the devil's weapons "All his armor in which he trusted." 

   Jesus doesn't want any person, Christian or not, involved with Halloween. In fact He said, "Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you don't have to fear ANY evil. My rod and My staff (power and authority) will protect you." 

   I could offer MANY spiritual reasons to forsake Halloween and have nothing to do with it if time permitted.

   As for children, create a "Fall festival" and make costumes of farmers or famous people, but never demons, devils, witches, goblins, ogres, skeletons, etc. Trick or treat is actually teaching our children extortion tactics. The Druids who began it would seriously 
bring destruction on people who would not "Pay up."

   We were created to love God and love people, not to glorify the arch enemy of man, and participate in his evil rituals.

   Halloween is a dangerous, evil lie that ultimately could have deadly consequences. Beware of your adversary satan, who "..seeks whom he may devour" (with lies and deceit).
