Greetings
I know this time of year(Halloween) is often brought up and debated over if it is right for Christians to take part or not. I know that there are differing views on this with some saying its fine and some saying its not. I don't really want to debate the right or wrong but I would like to share what I saw and just how sad it made me. I was at the mall and they were having a Halloween celebration going on. There were many children of all ages, all dressed up in scary customs. There was a huge variety of customs, from witches, to vampires, skeletons, zombies, ghost,the grim reaper and demons. I guess the theme was to come in a scary custom. I just kind of stood there and watched these young people, laughing and having a good time, some where dancing, other were talking and hanging out, and some where getting their faces painted with strange symbols on them. While I was watching them I just could not help but sense how this must grieve the heart of the Lord, all these young people celebrating and lifting up wicked things. I know that this was a worldly event that I happened upon and that sin and the celebration of death and evil has become common in today's world, but it just made me so sad to see such young children all dressed up like that. I think it must grieve the Lords heart terribly to see such young ones deceived into believing that things that are truly evil be made to seem harmless and fun. I stood there for just a little while and I prayed for the Lord to open up the hearts of those who are lost so that they might see their need for Jesus and repent before it is to late.
thank you for letting me share. I am praying that soon very soon we would see our deep need for Jesus in this country and cry out to Him.
God Bless
