Halloween-a day of death. Choose a life of resurrection life instead. A letter to you all.

To all of you who read this, tagged or not, I hope you consider what I say carefully. First off, I do not condemn any of you, for I have struggles in things as well. But I write this unto you in hope that maybe it changes you and gets you to reconsider things and be brought closer to God and His Kingdom, and away from the kingdom of darkness.



What is Halloween today? It is a celebration of death. Do you see people worshipping God on this day? Not really. You see people not celebrating God, but fear, candy, costumes, darkness, etc. Is God in any of those things? No. People go dressed as vampires, werewolves, zombies, murderers, etc. and call them costumes and thing they're "cute" and go "trick-or-treating" and get candy, and have bags full of it. (We do not need bags full of candy, as it is unhealthy for you, but this is beside the topic I'm speaking about)



But out of all the identities we have to wear, why don't we wear the identity that is life changing, and real: Called Jesus? Or in reality Yeshua. (Means Salvation) How many of us even want to look like we want to worship Him? All people do is sit in the pew at church, listen, play with their phone if they're board, and leave saying "it was a nice message" but it doesn't challenge you or change you? The message is supposed to change you and challenge you to be different from this world and its practices. Did Jesus clebrate Halloween? Nope. Did he celebrate death? Nope. This is what He did: He came down to our Earth in the flesh, walked as we did in the flesh, but He overcame it and died on the cross for us, and rose again three days later. He didn't worship death, He conquered it, overcame it, beat its head in, and took back the deed of life that it had, and has declared and made us free from this world system of death.



Frankly, we as believers who are called to walk as He did, because that is what He made us for, are to pick up our cross DAILY, deny ourselves (or or flesh) and follow Him. We are to walk as He walked. Not like this world walks. Today you got to have the new phone, or see the new movie, read the next twilight/harry potter/ gossip girl/ whatever type of things (these are common examples today), but how many say "Yeah, we got to go worship God, and tell people about Him, and set people free!"? Not really any of us. Be honest, you don't. I know I haven't.



We try to make excuses for it too, by saying 1."oh its not real" 2."its just for fun" 3. it won't hurt anyone". 1.Yes, demons are real, vampires werewolves and all that other horror garb is demonic. 2.Darkness lies to you by saying its fun, but its really not. The trick is there isn't a treat in darkness really but they try to get you to think there is. And 3. It does hurt someone: The Lord God inside of you, The Spirit, we quench the Spirit when we walk in darkness, which hurts God. Instead of doing Halloween stuff, do the Kingdom of God instead. Go outside when people are "trick or treating" and tell them about God and how to walk in righteousness. We have been called to walk differently from this world, to be unique and different. Yeah, the world will persecute you for it. But as it says in Matthew 10:22 "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved". That is one verse. In many places does it say you will be persecuted, but if we have life eternal in eternity why should we care if our earthly lives are taken from us? What do we have to worry about? Nothing, that is unless you're not one walking with God.



Even after He rose, He taught of the Kingdom. He has called us to do the same. Don't listen to the crap out there saying Halloween is okay with God, no it is not. He did not ask us to walk on this Earth to have fun, but to Walk like He did and do as He did. Again, I am not condemning anyone. I'm letting you know that what you spend your time in, is what you worship. So if you spend time in worshipping the way the world is, you are against God. (James 4:4) And if you have the truth and don't speak it to someone, then their blood can be required of you in the day of judgement. (Ezekial 3:16-21 : When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”)



So choose what you want to spend your time in doing. I hope this speaks to your heart, and I pray the Spirit works on you. As for me, I want no part in Halloween, or anything it stands for. Please walk in life, and not death. Don't do the halloween stuff tonight. I condemn you not, I only leave you to what the Spirit leads you to do. Choose you this day who you will serve. (Joshua 24:15)



Shalom,

Ephesians 1:6
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Indeed

If you looked at my blog profile, you would see that I deleted mostly all my blogs. Reason being is that now I have an objective with my blogs. I want to make things that have a meaning really. I want to talk about stuff that matters. The only other type of blogs willbe chronicling the stuff with our cats. I don't want to make blogs about sports really anymore, or just all the random stuff that people come up with. As far as films go, I'll still make stuff.

2 Kings 23:4
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

Cinnamon the Cat

I'll be posting photos and in the future videos featuring out kitten Cinnamon along with Moses another cat int the house.


Enjoy!


Psalm 27:3
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident
