My Halloween Testimony!
First of all…I’m not here to condemn.
This was me several years ago before I surrendered my life to Christ. Halloween was always my favorite holiday. It was what I knew from childhood. My friends all celebrated it and we always had so much fun within our small town community going on “haunted”hayrides, visiting “haunted” houses, trick or treating, watching scary movies, and having seances. All these festivities are open doors to satan.
As a teenager, I dabbled in witchcraft and occult practices through a ouiji board, tarot cards, crystals, horror movies and later studied Wicca. Halloween was the perfect night to see darkness at its highest. My friends and I experienced more than I care to share here. Little did know, I’d be bound by this for many years, even after salvation and would need deliverance.
Later, I began having panic attacks, nightmares, dealt with fear, worry, and depression. I took antidepressants for many years because it was the common thing to do according to doctors until I was set free from depending on mind altering drugs.
None of those issues are from God and like most diagnoses, they disappear with deliverance. They are spiritual most of the time and not medical.
As an adult, I attended many Halloween parties and hosted them. I went all out with decorations for the entire month of October.
The closer I wanted to be to Jesus, the less I desired Halloween. I couldn’t seem to fit this holiday in anywhere that made sense.
After getting saved 16 years ago, I still attended trunk or treat at churches and thought it was okay. It’s when I received the Holy Spirit baptism everthing changed. I became more sensitive to His voice and He woke me up early on a Thursday morning and said, Get Rid of It. I knew what He was talking about without even asking…even trunk or treat. I was dragging boxes down the stairs to the edge of the street for garbage pickup. I could hear all the glass breaking as the garbage claw crushed so many years of collectibles.
Obedience doesn’t feel good at the time, but is so rewarding later.
If you truly study the origins of Halloween, everything is demonic. From carving Jack o lanterns and trick or treating to bobbing for apples.
You cannot walk in both light and dark. We are each responsible for our walk with Christ and must have a personal relationship with Him outside of a church building.
If something doesn’t glorify Jesus, I’m not going to be a part of it. I’ve been gossiped about, slandered, and ridiculed so many times, but so was Jesus.
1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord’s Table and at the table of demons, too.
Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
1 Thessalonians 5:22 Stay away from every kind of evil.
No one knows the damage that comes in when we open the door to the enemy. It’s like opening the door to your home. Sometimes, only a couple of bugs will fly in, but if you leave the door opened long enough or more often, you never know what will make its way in next.
By the way… little ghosts aren’t cute. They are demons.
Good night!
