Halloween is something that Christians are not to celebrate. Do you notice that the enemy uses candy, trying to make it fun so it is easily celebrated? It’s all about brainwashing the kids so that they will accept it when they get older. If you decide to celebrate this, the love of God is what we celebrate.
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
If people can’t see God’s love coming from you, who are you representing? Those who are of the Kingdom are ambassadors for Christ. We are not here to judge the world but save the world through Jesus. Let’s be a great representation of Jesus here on earth. Love changes everything. I went to witches walk one year just to find someone to love. I saw a woman limping. We struck up a conversation. I asked her if I could pray for her. She asked if this was Reiki healing. I told her no this is Jesus. She said yes. Most people who are in the occult want what is real. If we aren’t sharing the real Jesus, what are we sharing? Anyway, I laid my hand on her shoulder, and all of a sudden you could see a change in her face. Jesus touched her. I told her to have a nice evening and walked away. I didn’t want any catches to this act of love. This was now all in His hands, all I did was plant a seed.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 4:35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
We are to go to all the world and preach the gospel. If you haven’t experienced the gospel, what are you preaching? You can’t go to seminary to learn this. Peter and John who stood before the Sanhedrin were unschooled, but they had been with Jesus. Experience outweighs knowledge. Knowledge will puff you up, but love is what edifies. It’s through your experience that is gospel. You overcome situations through your testimony. Love conquers all. Be blessed, my friends
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
1 Corinthians 8:1 Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people. 2 If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; 3 but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
