If we as Christians, choose to ignore Halloween or not participate in the holiday, it will still happen. 20 And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Genesis 50:20. What the devil can use for evil, God can use for good and his kingdom. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness. John 12:46. Instead of condemning Halloween we bring light into this holiday and take it from darkness to the light. Again, I say what the devil can use for himself, God can make whole and use for His Kingdom.
I want you to think about that. Let's use what the devil has to bring the evil in this world, let's use it to bring light into this world and make it good for God's Kingdom. I say hands off devil this time for the lord and to bring souls to Christ Jesus. If we shun these things what will the world think of us? Will they think that we are Pharisees who are boring and have nothing to do with these things? And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? Mark 2:16. Look Jesus did not commit sin but ate with sinners and publicans which means public offices to collect taxes in the area. I am not saying that we go and fully do as this holiday does and commit sin, but as I said even, Jesus was among sinners and did not sin.
Jesus did not come into this world for the Christians but for the sinners, the least last and the lost. Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15. So, much so shouldn't we have that mindset and do the same as Jesus? We should every tool or opportunity we have to reach people for Christ. Even a holiday that most Christians vilify can be used for good.
With all that was said thus far, I want you to think and meditate on these things. Tomorrow we will talk about ways to outreach on this holiday. This was supposed to be today, but I got this in mind and spirit to tell you all that I have written today from God.
