GM FBF. Thank God for this Thursday. This last day of October for 2013. (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 familis paticipate in the same, with children (and parents, too) dressing up as demons, ghosts, skeletons, wizards, etc. We can only surmise how much pleassure Satan derives from this deception. Satan, we must remember, is the adversary . . .[who], as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), and many times he disguises himself as an angel 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 relization 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. JDM Agape you!
