THE ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN

 

Yesterday we spoke of the November 1, religious holiday of All Hallows Day, better known today as All Saints Day. It is important to rad and know that information in order to grasp today’s article. (click here to read) Satan always creates a counterfeit to deceive people from what is real or godly. He created a counterfeit holiday which we call Halloween to offset All Hallows Day. It was called All Hallows Eve, and later became known as Halloween.

 

Where did All Hallows Eve (October 31, the eve before No. 1) come from? The Roman Catholic church was complicit in setting this up. In the fourth century they had created a new religious holiday which we call Christmas. They chose December 25 as the date to coincide with a pagan holiday that celebrated the sun god. That way both pagans and Christians could have the same time off from their labors.

 

History repeated itself when Pope Gregory III switched All Hallows Day from May 13 to November 1 to align closely to the pagan Celtic holiday of Sumrain. The traditions and ideology of Sumrain took hold soon afterward in the Christian community. The Celtic religion came from Ireland, but it also had strong communities in the Roman Catholic countries of Great Britain and France. What do we know of this religion of the Celts?

 

The celts observed November 1 as the first day of their new year. It marked the end of summer and the end of the harvest. It marked the beginning of winter as a cold and dark period when more people than usual died. They believed the last day of the year was a time when the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead became blurred. They believed the ghosts (spirits) of the dead returned to earth to walk among the dead. These ghosts came from the dark side.

 

They called this day Sumrain, and it is credited as the origin of present day Halloween or All Hallows Eve. Sumrain is the name of a powerful and special demon from Hell who is called up for this day. Sumrain could only rise up to earth when summoned by two powerful witches who performed blood sacrifices for three consecutive days, the final one being on the harvest festival of October 31. As he was released from Hell, the spirits of dead people were also released to roam upon earth on the same day, October 31, in the darkness of the evening. It is the “eve” of the Christian church’s holy day (hallowed day) of November 1.

 

When we (in ignorance) celebrate Halloween, we unknowingly are celebrating the rise of the “demon god” Sumrain. Should we as Christians observe a holiday of such origin? Even when done in ignorance, it still has possibilities of opening a window to our soul. A volitional act has consequences regardless of whether or not we understand it. Today all Hallows Eve is the highest “holy” day of witches and wiccans. They still do blood sacrifices. Young “missing children” often are sacrificed by them. This “unholy” holiday is all about the shedding of innocent blood. Tomorrow I will share my personal experience from childhood relating to Halloween.

THE WILL OF GOD

 

Over the years as a Pastor many have come to me and have asked me about the will of God for their lives. Many had decisions they needed to make that would alter the rest of their lives. Some had specific needs that needed to be met, and they often asked my counsel as to what direction to go.

 

Knowing the will of God for our lives will bring us peace even when that will may take us down a pathway that has many hardships and many uncertainties. One of the greatest examples of this is the Apostle Paul. He had prayed and knew he was to go to Rome to be a witness for Jesus. Before leaving on this journey, he met with his friends in a prayer meeting and was told by a prophet of God that if he went that he would be “bound.” Because of this prophetic word, there were those that tried to stop him from making this journey to Rome, but Paul knew that it was the “will of God” to proceed.

 

Regardless of what God has for us, when we know His will, there will always be peace. In spite of the outcome of the Apostle Paul’s last journey, he knew this was the right path. The peace of God was with him. This enabled him to carry out God’s plan, and not his own plan.

 

Knowing the will of God comes from studying the scriptures. You will be able to rightly divide truth from error by knowing what God has to say about a situation. We do not determine God’s will by our circumstances my friends. It is that inner peace that comes knowing that you are on the right track. God will never violate his word. His will is his word.

 

We understand what a “last will and testament” are when someone dies and leaves behind instructions for “his remains and his assets.” The word testament only is effective if there is someone that has died. Upon the death of Jesus, the testament became in effect. His testament is the word of God. As we study it, we see the benefits God has provided for us and learn what rightfully belongs to us as heirs to “his kingdom.” Without studying the “New Testament” and seeing how the “Old Testament” is fulfilled by the new, we can know God’s will. When there isn’t any specific answer to our prayers then we are led by the peace of God. If there is no peace, then you can rightfully say that it isn’t the will of God.

 

Often, we go to others for direction when God has given us the roadmap for life (the bible) for each of us individually. We must study it to find the right direction for each of us personally. What may be right for me may not be right for you. Yes, we can get counsel, but ultimately it is a one-on-one decision between you and God.

 

II Timothy 3:16 commands us to study the word of God for doctrine (teaching), for reproof (discipline) for correction (getting us back on track) and for instruction in righteousness (daily living in the right way.) You can never go wrong when you go with God and His word. His word is His will.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


David didn't look as if he had much going for him. Just think about it...He was an underdog, a nobody from nowhere, a Hebrew hillbilly, rejected by his father, put down and made fun of by his brothers...But yet he went on to become one of the most famous kings and military strategist of all times. True, he was a murderer and an adulterer, yet he did not allow his past to dictate his present nor his future. In the end David was remembered as a man after God's own heart. So cheer up for you still have a chance for greatness. Just remember the thing that made David go on to become such a great man of God was simply because he had a teachable spirit...And he truly had a repentant heart.
