16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, 18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” ~ 2 Corinthians 6:16-18
Anton LaVey was the founder and high priest of the first church of Satan. Let us see what his thoughts are on Halloween. He says:
“We think because we are not performing any demonic rituals or human sacrifices that we are on safe ground. But did you know that as soon as you dress up, whether you color yourself or put on a costume, the enemy owns you? Because by doing so, you have turned over your legal rights, and you have dedicated yourself and your kids to celebrating the devil’s holiday. You have just made a pact with the enemy, and you are already sacrificing your children spiritually by dressing them up and changing their identity.”
Let us now take a look at another witness. John Ramirez, an ex-satanist, who claims he was a general in witchcraft. He said he would sit and talk with the devil like people sit and talk to each other. Here’s what he had to say about Halloween:
He said he had a demonic wedding on Halloween with animal rituals and blood sacrifices because that is the devil’s holiday. He goes on to give five reasons why Christians should not celebrate Halloween:
- It gives the devil legal rights to change your identity
- Eternal mistake because it brings a curse
- Satanists celebrates it (so, why should we)
- When we bring it into the Church, we grieve the Spirit of God
- The candies and other stuff are prayed over to bring a curse
In other words, it opens demonic doors. Apparently, witches and wiccans claim Halloween to be one of their high holy days. It’s a time for marriages and celebrations as their New Year begins. This is why I believe, without a doubt, “celebration by participation” in the dark occult practice of Halloween, no matter how innocent we try to make it, will open spiritual doors, just like any other occult activity.
Therefore, don’t open yourself up to spiritual attack and demonic interference in your life. Don’t freely allow the enemy any claim of your life. No, the Holy Spirit doesn’t take off a day, but that’s not the problem. Halloween isn’t dark because of the day. Halloween is dark because of the pagan/occult origins and the pagan/occult celebration itself.
The body of Christ should never associate with evil and embrace the occult. It should only ever shine the Light of Christ into the darkness. Why? Because we aren’t called to be a part of the world, we are only to be in the world, not of it. We are to be separate. We are to be Christ to the world. He should live through us. Therefore, separate yourselves from the world and don’t allow any open doors for the devil to have any part in your life.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Completely Separate.
