Is Practicing Halloween Dangerous For Christians?

Many people feel that if they practice something "for fun", it won't hurt them. So many people go to psychics or mediums because they want to know their future or they may play with a Ouija Board to contact the dead as a "game" for fun. They may even read horoscopes for fun while thinking it will not harm them. There is also an incredible invasion of easter mysticism in our western culture that includes different types of yoga, meditation and self help practices that seem harmless. 

Halloween is considered by most, as a holiday for children and adults to dress up in costumes and have fun. Halloween is a sacred, high holiday for Wiccans (the official religion of witchcraft). Churches practice "Trunk or Treat' as an alternative for evangelism or safety for the kids. The world knows what "Halloween" stands for. The world also knows what Christmas and Easter stand for.  I believe the church of Jesus Christ has fallen asleep in the light. We have allowed so many evil practices into our churches, that we can no longer discern the evil from the good or the profane from the holy. Halloween depicts death and fear. It glamorizes the occult, witchcraft, demons, gore, blood, fear, evil, torture, murder, skeletons(which represent death), Disney characters(which most glorify witchcraft and sorcery), and the list goes on...

If you do things "for fun" and you think it is not hurting you, you are already deceived. I don't care if your pastor or church is okay with it, God is not. Most Pastors are deceived and deceiving others and some pastors are wolves in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7:13-16). Jesus said this will happen in the end times. We open doorways for Satan and His demons to attack us when we rebel against God and His Word. It is a sin to dabble in the occult. It doesn't matter if it's for fun, you are still dabbling. Sin separates us from God. I have never met a person, who compromises with the occult, that does not have emotional, spiritual or even demonic physical attacks or issues in their life. Not all attacks are from rebellion, but many are. We give Satan a foothold. He is seeking to steal, kill and destroy us and he is not playing around. If you give him an inch, he will take a mile. Many people in our churches have been delivered from the occult and Satan's power and we are causing them to stumble. God will not hold us guiltless! 

Setting aside a day to celebrate evil, darkness, witchcraft, fear, death and the demonic brings disdain to God. Period. A Christian celebrating Halloween would be like a Satan worshiper putting up a nativity scene at Christmas while singing, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" The two just don't go together. The Bible clearly forbids serving two gods. If you serve Jesus, you will hate Satan. If you love Satan and Jesus, then you truly love Satan. Jesus has nothing in common with Satan (2 Corinthians 6:14), and neither should we. We have to repent as a church and stop justifying celebrating this demonic, worldly and evil holiday! Don't follow the crowd. Listen to the Holy Spirit. He is HOLY. 

"They even sacrificed their own sons and daughters in the fire. They consulted fortune-tellers and practiced sorcery and sold themselves to evil, arousing the LORD ’s anger." -Kings 17:17 NLT
