No Power to Halloween

 

I can’t speak much to my own fond childhood memories of Halloween as I have none. Halloween was vehemently banned in my household as a night given over to devil worship and evil voodoo. As good stout Christians, we read the Bible together as a family and prayed for deliverance from the evils of this world. Which in of itself is actually quite a nice memory, so I feel no real loss. Due to this lack of “real” Halloween experiences though, the holiday was largely a mystery to me. Now that I’m older and married, living on my own, I realize that holiday from my childhood years has vanished.

The Halloween of today is no longer the Halloween of yesterday and the Halloween of yesterday is no longer the Halloween of my parents’ yesterday. Think about it. Think back to the original Halloween film from 1978, where oodles of kids run around town unsupervised throughout the night. Half the town in that film didn’t even have their doors locked. Haddonfield was supposed to representative of any small, quiet suburb in the US. Even now I think that’s crazy. But go ask any boomer old enough to remember those days. They will almost certainly agree that’s actually how it was back then and chalk it up to the world just being better or people being better. Never mind the mass importation of un-Americans, the addition of low-income housing to the suburbs, the forced integration of multiple cultures that ever so slowly built up a growing distrust among neighbors. But I digress.

Even by my childhood, Halloween seemed different. There were certainly no roving bands of children and everyone had their doors locked by then. Parents then worried whether needles or razor blades would be stashed in their kids’ candy by some crazed lunatic. I frankly wonder whether that ever happened or if it was just something else cooked up by the MSM to keep people afraid of each other. For myself personally, growing up in a rural Christian environment, the whole thing was just distant weirdness. It’s only when I look back now that I see even that Halloween is dead.

Do people even trick or treat any longer? I’ve lived closer to town these past few years and I know of several families on our street, yet I’ve never seen a single trick or treater. Apparently families here go trunk or treating. They all get together in a parking lot and the kids go around in a circle taking candy from people’s cars. It’s big with church crowds. I’m convinced Halloween around here is basically rumspringa for Baptists. The kids can dress up as Darth Vader and get their sugar high, the teens can dress up as slutty Darth Vader and go smoke some weed somewhere while the adults give a wink and a nod as if they know what’s up but they’ll let the kids have their fun just this once. No devil worship or goat sacrifices here, just good ol’ fun with a bit of spookiness, just like the old days used to be.

I don’t have anything against fun, but I find this particular fun to be more dangerous than fun. This sort of fun is more similar to an ostrich sticking its head in the sand and hiding from the world. Never mind the teenagers in severe need of discipline, think about Halloween outside of the context presented here. Read the news where the MSM gloats with glee about how witches are gathering this Halloween to hex the president. Go to Facebook or Tiktok or wherever and see where people are not just talking about what we would call the evil side of Halloween, but are fully embracing it.

While we continue to pretend the evil isn’t really there, one of the heads of BLM talks about how she chants the name of her spirit friend to give her energy. Antifa is in the streets eating the raw, bloodied heart of only God knows what. Every Barnes and Noble across the US has a section on Personal Development, and there you will find books on basic spells, crystal healing and spiritual self-empowerment. Let’s not even talk about what we now know the elite are doing to children or what spirit cooking is.

An absolutely horrific darkness has grown unabated in America. Our churches and their trunk or treating have done nothing to stop it. In fact, many churches have only helped this darkness grow. How many churches support BLM? How many churches have a female pastor with a side OnlyFans account? How many churches have only the false light of Lucifer as they continue to poison and dull the minds of its flock?

We would do well to pray this Halloween. The idolatry of the world has grown to such a mass proportion that it can no longer be ignored by even those without the light of Christ. This Halloween also has special significance to those given over to the darkness. There will be a full moon this October 31^st, the second in this month – a rare portent. Those versed in occult knowledge will know that all witches and warlocks and Satan worshippers will take special advantage of this night. They know that for the first time in a long time, they are being exposed to the Light for all to see. Their grotesqueries are being laid bare to the world, something they cannot have else their powers fail.

I’m not going to tell anyone to not celebrate Halloween this year, however they may choose to celebrate it. That’s hardly my place. I’m only going to ask others to pray this Halloween as they go about that day and that night. Pray for strength, wisdom and spiritual discernment. Pray to avoid evil. Pray for our president, who will receive an extremely large amount of negative spiritual energy this 31^st. He will be under attack along with the rest of Christ’s followers. Remember, they want us broken and defeated, our heads in the sand. Worse, they want us dead. They hate us, the bearers of Christ’s Light. Show them no fear and walk this world with confidence, knowing you are protected by the power of the Lord. And pray, always pray.
