Any worship of Halloween is devil worship. The word occult means "secret." The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:
- Sex with demons
- Orgies between animals and humans
- Animal and human sacrifices
- Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
- Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
- Revel nights
- Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
- Release of time-released curses against the innocent and the ignorant
Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is necromancy or communication with the dead. Séances and contact with spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of darkness lurking in the air.
In many places, Halloween has become a holiday, rivalling Christmas in its sales. The root word of Halloween is hallowed, which means "holy, consecrated and set apart for service", a term used for the Sabbath in scripture. If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy—Satan's! Satan is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of the Satanic spirit (the false Father), the Antichrist spirit (the false Holy Spirit) and the spirit of Belial (the false Son).
You may ask, "Doesn't God have more power than the devil?" - Yes, but He gives us a choice. If we do not walk in it, we will become the devil's prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits. Even the colours of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated. These colors are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called "Mabon." During this season, witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest. They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).
While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as just harmless fun, the vortexes of hell release new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm). Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door to door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots. When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm—and the Word says God will spit us out of His mouth. It is God's desire that we serve Him alone.
2 Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, "And what agreement has Christ with Belial?". As believers, we need to answer that question in our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshipper.
Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and the exceeding greatness of God's power in us (the same power that raised Christ from the dead). The passage goes on to say Jesus is seated in heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus by faith, the same demonic activity that is under His feet, is under our feet too!
Let's Pray,
Yahweh, we pray for safety for ourselves and our children as this demonic celebration of evil known as Halloween draws nigh. God, we pray that every demon, devil, imp, power, principality, dark force, dark matter, vintage spirit, old one, and every one of their devices be cut off in Jesus' Name. We bind all ties, chords, spells, hexes, vexes, incantations, yoga spirits, and human spirit workings. Please send their power away from us and our loved ones, in the name of Yahshua our messiah. Help us to understand the spirit battle we face, that we do not take these things lightly. Father, we receive our victory over evil because of calvary and we will walk in it until He returns. We pray that today will be just another day for us to give glory and honour to our God and by faith we will quench every fiery dart of the enemy - not just today but every day. In Jesus Name We Pray! Amen.
