Halloween is a time dedicated to Trick or Treat in America; a time of innocent fun, in the minds of many adults and children. I remember dressing up as a kid and going door to door begging for candy; and at least once, soaping some windows and throwing shelled field corn onto metal house roofs. Some school kids went so far as pushing over an outhouse or two. Soaping windows is the most mischief I dared get into. I knew if I got into trouble with a neighbor, or the law, I would also get a good spanking from Dad when I got home. Fear can be a good deterrent to crime.
I never knew anything about the origins and history of the holiday that brought out carved pumpkins, candles, scary decorations, and costumes. Now, after many years in the ministry and having served as a missionary in Eastern Africa, I fully understand that anything to do with “All Hallows Eve” is celebrating and worshiping the dark spirit world. Witchcraft was ubiquitous in Africa, with ancestor worship and Witch Doctors contacting the spirit world for curses and blessings. Amulets were seen on the arms and necks of many nationals, from little babies to the elderly; worn for protection from the dark spirit world of demons.
I was protected from a curse, called down upon me by a Witch Doctor, by the Holy Spirit warning me not to allow a particular person into my house. I had been praying in the Spirit and the Lord spoke to me, saying that I should not let the man coming to my door into my house. I was not told why, just not to allow him into the house. Two weeks later, one of my national preachers came to visit me and informed me that he had ridden the bus into town with this particular individual. This man bragged about how he had been to a Witch Doctor to secure a curse upon a root to place in my house.
When this man brought his curse to my house, God kept me from allowing him in; thus preventing him from placing his curse!
Luke 12;11-12,”And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said.”
Mark 16:17-18, “These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
Jesus Christ is the same today as He was in the books of Mark, Luke, Acts and the other 63 books of the Bible. If we separate ourselves to seek the True Light of Jesus Christ instead of the imitation light of the devil and his demons, we will know the Truth about what is behind Halloween and other days and activities that lift Satan up as god instead of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Goblins or demons are active right now in Zimbabwe, harassing innocent children and possessing others. They are calling in the Witch Doctors to expel the goblins. This is like asking a thief to get rid of a thief. It’s not going to solve the problem, but it will make it worse.
When you seek out psychics and mediums for guidance and solutions to your problems, you are doing the same thing as calling in the Witch Doctor. You are only inviting the dark side to solve a problem that was originally created by the dark side. Demons masquerading as angels of light to deal with demons harassing you in their true dark colors. It is only making matters worse than they are already in your life. Only Jesus Christ and His true angels of Light can set you free and take care of every need in your life (body, soul and spirit).
Take time to read the article from The Telegraph entitled, “Girls at Zimbabwe school ‘attacked by goblins'”, and stay away from the dark side of Halloween!
Also International Business Times has an article about these Goblins in Zimbabwe.
Thank you James for posting this article. I will feature it on my blog. God bless you. Laura.
Thanks Laura for being a bright candle for the Lord. His glory shall fill the earth from sea to sea resulting in children to old men knowing Him. May His spirit of understanding in the knowledge of Christ come to every nation, tribe and tongue quickly. It’s high time for the Light to outshine the darkness! James
