This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. John 3:19
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:11
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, Colossians 1:13

Do you know what Halloween is about? Do not be embarrassed if you don not. In fact, most people are ignorant of what Halloween really celebrates and actually they don't even care to know. Some parents suspect that they should not celebrate it but refuse to find out for sure. They don't want the accountability, but the truth of the matter is parents will be held accountable by God, whether they like it or not. Children are placed under their care for a reasons. Children do not belong to the parents. Psalm 127:3 says, "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward." parents have the responsibility before God to train the children well and early in life. After all, they will appear in judgment before God one day. Parents will have to account for everything including the training of the children entrusted to their care. Raising children to the ways of the Lord is a serious honor with serious accountability. "Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not turn away from it." Proverbs 22:6
Parents must rear children with morals even in this immoral world. There is nothing innocent about dressing up for Halloween. The devil is the master of deception. Do not be deceived, Halloween is not of God. It is without a doubt a celebration of lie and darkness. Jesus is Truth and Light. Let us be honest, do the Jack O lantern mask, witches and black cats represent life or death? Do Skulls and a skeletons represent life or death? Is anything involving concealing your face represent God or the devil? Who is the master of disguise and deception? You do not need to know much to understand that Halloween is not a celebration of life and light. God is the giver of life and not the taker. The devil is known as the enemy, the liar, the thief and the king of darkness. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
Is Halloween a TREAT or a TRICK? I can say without a doubt that Halloween is a trick and most definitely not a treat. The Bible says that every knee shall bow in worship to the name of Jesus Christ and the deceiver's objective is to get all to worship him one way or another. Friend, we cannot worship the devil. We worship only God. You and I must be vigilant and the Word of God instructs us to do so.
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. Peter I 5:8
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. 1Timothy 4:1
If you really are a professing Christian in words and deeds, a person who values the sacrifice of God on Calvary, a person who is grateful and understand the gift of salvation, you have absolutely no business, no reason, and no interest in celebrating Halloween. You have no need to dress up your kids in disguise for Halloween or any other times. You must not take part in the festivities that celebrate the devil. You cannot be part of this holy day of Satan. it does not matter if everyone else at your church, neighborhood and family is doing it. God will hold you responsible for what you do. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you remain strong and take away anything in you that is not of God. This Halloween I urge you not to participate in it and to rather pass the knowledge we just shared to someone else.
Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Praise the Lord!
