Spreading God's Love Thru Prayer
Welcome to Noonday Devotion
What a joy it is to share with you, the Lord has given me this particular subject and has put this burden on my heart.
HALLOWEEN
Here are some more ideas, for you to have an alternative Halloween
You can pray binding the power of Satan.. and get your church and house group together to do the same. Have a prayer meeting at your church on the date of Halloween or open up your home for a prayer meeting
Have a party at your home/church for the kids. Ask them to come dressed up as their favourite bible character, do something different.. offer them Jesus
You can prayer walk you area.. applying the blood of Jesus to every house
You can give out gospels to every child who comes to your house Trick or treating.
You can speak out against the evils of halloween.. we need people who will stand up and say THUS SAYS THE LORD.
Please share this devotion with all your friends and groups esp place on Facebook.
Thanks and God bless

NOONDAY DEVOTION BY KEITH
REPROVE AND CHALLENGE ALL EVIL WAYS
11 Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead [let your lives be so in contrast as to] [d]expose and reprove and convict them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of or mention the things that [such people] practice in secret.
13 But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light.
14 Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light.
15 Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwiseand witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),
16 Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.
The Lord has laid this devotion on my heart. I feel very passionately about the evils of Halloween.
Now I know many believers think I am going over the top on this issue, so let's start with these verses in Galatians 5
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Do you notice anything believer.. yes Witchcraft is included in this list.
Jesus talks about things like Adultery and Murder in the sermon on the mount, he says that if you do them in your heart, you are as Guilty as those who actually do them.. what about participating in Halloween?
Well if you let you children dress up in Ghostly costumes, or Place carved Pumpkins outside your house.. you are involving yourself in this evil practice, when God clearly tells you in his word to have nothing to do with it.. forgive me, I am a bit slow.. but even a slow person like realises that this for what it is.. DISOBEDIENCE.
What does the first part of Ephesians 5:11 say.. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORKS OF DARKNESS.
The Ephesian believers had a great bonfire and burnt all their pagan books.. they took these verses to heart, more to the point, they obeyed them.
Believers want God to be their friend.. well he is.. If you obey Him. He demands that you burn all this Halloween stuff and that you do not participate in this godless and pagan holiday.
If christians acted like the ephesian believers and burned all this rubbish, we would have bonfires stretching all across America. I estimate and I am just guessing here that evangelical bible believing christians spend up to 100 million dollars on halloween food, costumes etc. How much would world missions benefit if that money was given to support the work of the church overseas? How many missionaires are struggling for support and the church wastes money on this rubbish?
Now I won't be the only person teaching or preaching this in the run up to Halloween, but some people do not get it.. it is TIME TO OBEY THE LORD AND TO HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE WORKS OF DARKNESS.
This so called holiday is in the realm of the devil.. he is our enemy.. it seems some Christian's have crossed over to the enemy's side for the time leading up to Halloween.
It is time to burn the stuff you have about Halloween and go to the Lord in Repentance.
In 1 Samuel 15, the Lord says that Rebellion, which is a refusal to do what you are told and to go your own way, is like this
22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
In verse 16 of ephesians 5, we are told to redeem the time, literally to buy it back. If you are involving yourself in this practice.. stop and turn in repentance.
There are millions of christians who say nothing and are silent, it is time to rise up like a mighty army of prayer warriors. Prayer chains against this evil should run in every church, every city, every village and every christian household. We need to stand against this evil and to come to Lord in repentance asking his forgiveness and pleading for revival, so that this evil will be banished forever.
If you refuse to obey the Lord and participate in Halloween, then you are guilty of witchcraft, and as Galatians 5 says.. no one who does such a thing will enter the Kingdom of God.. A very sobering thought.. amen
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PAGAN TIME.
Encourage others not to buy this rubbish.
Thank You
Keith
