1 To Halloween, or NOT to Halloween Oct 29, 2017

2 Outline Should Christians participate in Halloween? What should our attitude be towards Halloween? Should we ignore it? Should we attack it? Or should Christians, find ways in which to accommodate it?

3 Impact of Halloween on life Everywhere there are signs of people preparing for this fun celebration. It is a big business in America. Merchants also look forward to October 31. The sale of candy, costumes, decorations, and party goods make Halloween one of the major retail seasons of the year. Some books: Did you know that Halloween is a day witches celebrate above all other days? The Internal Revenue Services has given tax exempt status to the church of Wicca (the official church of witchcraft), which means your gift to witchcraft is a tax deductible, charitable donation of a religious nature, the same as tithing to the (Christian) Church.

4 Church of Wicca Formed in The first Wiccan Church. In 1972 gained federal recognition of Witchcraft as a religion. First to use Wicca to describe the religion of Witchcraft. In 1985 convinced a federal appeals court that Wicca was a religion equal to any other. Convinced the IRS that Wiccan churches did not have to keep financial records, just like other churches.

5 Halloween = The Witches New Year Is rooted in the ancient pagan calendar which divided the year into Summer and Winter by two fire festivals. Before the birth of Christ, the day we know as Halloween was part of the Celtic Feast of Samhain (sah ween). (Samhain is the god, lord of the dead), this marked the eve of the Celtic New Year. Celts or the languages, which constitute a branch of the European family and include Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Manx, Cornish, and several extinct pre-roman languages such as Gaulish. This feast was a celebration that commemorated the beginning of Winter.

6 Halloween = The Witches New Year It was a night on which the veil between the present world and the world beyond was pierced. The festivals were marked by animal sacrifices, offerings to the dead, and outdoor fire in recognition of departed souls. It was believed that on this night demons, witches, hobgoblins, and elves were released all together to harass and to oppress the living. For self-preservation many Druids would dress up as witches, devils, and ghouls, and would even involve themselves in demonic activities and make themselves immune from attack.

7 What is Trick or Treat The Druids were responsible for appeasing the goblins and preventing harm to the people. Huge outdoor fires were lit to guide the way of the spirits. Various sacrifices, including human, were performed to assure a good year. Like many pagan cultures around the world, the Celts left out food for the spirits, hoping that a treat would prevent an evil trick. Centuries later, descendants of the Celts continued to observe the Samhain festival by dressing as evil spirits. They roamed from house to house demanding food in exchange for the spirits leaving the home unharmed. They carved demon faces in hollowed-out turnips and lighted them with candles.

8 What is Trick or Treat This is what is called Jack-O-Lantern. The story: an Irish drunkard named Jack made a deal with the devil and devil agreed to spare his soul for ten years. But a year later, Jack died and was turned back from the gates of heaven. So he went to the gates of hell and was rejected by the devil also. So as Jack was walking to find a place, he was eating a turnip so the devil threw him a live coal out of the fires of the hell. So Jack put the coal in the turnip to help him see. It is believed that since that time Jack is roaming the face of the earth with the Jack-O-Lantern seeking a place of rest. People today offer treats, to the children, who represent them!? In reality, the lighted Jack-O-Lanterns, the children carry, are really a symbol of the fires and torches of former Halloweens and of the ancient Samhain.

9 Halloween & The Church In the 7 th century, the Roman Catholic Church set aside a day in May in memory of the early Christians who died for their faith. It was called All Saints Day. We don t have an All Saints Day, we celebrate the lives of saints everyday. Download the Synaxarium!! By the year 900 the date was changed to November 1st. Another name for All Saints Day was: All Hallows. October 31st. was known as All Hallows Eve, which was later shortened to Halloween. The reason for the change of the date was an attempt to encourage people to replace this evil celebration with a holy feast. This was an attempt on the part of believers to gain access to pagan tradition with the truth of the gospel. It was a move to demonstrate that only the power of the resurrected Christ could protect men and women from the destructive plans of Satan.

10 Halloween Today Halloween and its customs arrived in America in the mid-1800 s with the Irish immigrants. The costumes of the Children going trick or treating has become a tradition. Only in recent years have parents hesitated to send their children into streets because of the increased danger of accidents, poisoned food, and threatening strangers. People today might be innocently imitating the ancient Celtic customs, but in an indirect way they are participating and celebrating something evil. Witches and Satanists still consider Halloween to be one of the strongest times during the year to cast a spell. On Halloween most witchcraft practitioners participate in ritual called drawing down the moon (goddess). In this, the chief witch of the group of witches, becomes, they believe, a channel for the moon goddess. During this ritual, the participants both male and female, are sky-clad, naked Evidence persists that some Satanist and voodoo groups offer sacrifices usually animals but possibly human babies.

11 Halloween & The Bible When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. These shall not be found among you anymore who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. (Deuteronomy 18:9 11) And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. (2 Kings 17:17)

12 Halloween & The Bible I will cut off sorcerers from your hand, and you shall have no soothsayers. Your carved images I will also cut off, and your sacred pillars from your midst; you shall no more worship the work of your hands; I will pluck your wooden images from your midst; thus I will destroy your cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury on the nations that have not heard. (Micah 5:12-15) Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are.. Idolatry, sorcery Galatians (5:19-21). shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)

13 Re-think Halloween Halloween is not something which is fun and nice. It does have evil association to it that we must be aware of. What does it mean to dress your child as a witch or devil? Is this what our Lord has asked us to teach our children? this helps us to teach our children not to be afraid of anything. or is it through the words of Christ that fear is cast out. Re-think -Educate This should be a time of prayer instead, so we are protected from powers evil. All envy, all temptation, all works of Satan, all council of wicked one, the rising up of enemies, visible and invisible do cast away from us and all your people.

14 How to plan for Halloween Evil spirits and demons do exist. Christ came into the world so by His death He destroys the power of death, that is, the Devil. As Christians, our greatest enemy is the Evil One who inspires nations and individuals to sin against mankind, and prevents them from knowing the truth. Unless we realize that Satan is our real enemy, we can never hope for spiritual progress for our lives. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12). Today we witness a renewal of satanisticcults; with a satanic service conducted on Halloween night. Everywhere Satan reaches out to trap as many innocent people as possible.

15 How to plan for Halloween Make Halloween an open door for evangelism. The deception of Halloween, with its witches, demons, skeletons, and allusions to death, can become a powerful way to demonstrate the power of Christ to redeem us from death, to fill us with His Spirit, and to give our lives meaning, purpose, and direction. Use Halloween as an opportunity to communicate to your children, your family members, and your friends that although death and the grave are very real, we will defeat the powers of darkness through Jesus Christ. James 5:19

16 Finally.. This is a time to build a strong and lasting relationships with those whom God has entrusted to our care. Let your children know that Satan is not a character dressed in a red union suit with horns and a pitchfork; instead, he is a very real and powerful adversary whose goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. This is not a time to curse the darkness, but a time to light a candle. Make an impact on a lost and dying world!!. Halloween represents not just satanic oppression but an opportunity.

17 Glory be to God forever Thank you
