Sean Feucht

Sean Feucht, Bethel worship leader, and music artist took to his Instagram account to announce the event that happened during Halloween weekend in Las Vegas. On Saturday, October 31, the Christian artist gathered thousands of people to worship.

“LAS VEGAS – HEAVEN CRASHES ONTO THE STRIP ON HALLOWEEN,” he wrote on his Instagram post. “Only God can write a story like last night!!!!! It was absolutely WILD watching JESUS crash into Las Vegas with His love, presence and power!!!”

Halloween

Halloween is a celebration observed in many countries dedicated to remembering the dead. To most Christians, they see this celebration as a dark day full of evil. According to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, there are different perspectives regarding the holiday and they both contain the truth.

“Others recognize that Halloween, the eve of ‘All Saints’ Day’ (November 1), is also associated with Martin Luther and the Reformation. They celebrate the religious freedoms won at that time in history. Since each of these perspectives contain truth, it is difficult to know how to respond,” written on the Billy Graham website.

Gospel

Many Christians use this holiday as an opportunity to spread the Gospel of Christ.

“Rather than separate completely from the night’s activities, some Christians give Gospel tracts along with treats to children who come to their homes and make Halloween an opportunity to witness for Christ. Others offer safe places for lighthearted fun.”

Worship

Worship events like this are a creative way to spread the love of Christ on this dark holiday.

In the last few months, Sean has been bringing worship to different states nationwide. Among those states are California, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and several other. Many of those gatherings have had over 10,000 people in attendance.

written by GOD TV

Every Halloween, Christians struggle with whether or not to participate in the cultural holiday fun, and if so, how to do so in a meaningful way. Some Christians end up choosing between giving out candy or giving out tracts. Obviously, the kids love getting candy. Realistically, they aren’t very excited about being handed a paper tract.

But what if you could do both?

Box Track

Well, now you can! Let The Little Children Come has developed special Halloween tracts so you don’t have to choose. Designed to contain children’s favorite candies, this pumpkin shaped Box-Tract opens up to reveal the Gospel message.

Let The Little Children Come is a ministry that aims to provide effective child evangelism tools and resources, equipping parents, church leaders and teachers with tools and resources that help to convey the powerful Gospel message to children.

Like these Halloween tracts, their child evangelism tools are more than just simple children’s tracts. Each resource is designed to capture and hold the attention of children, while not distracting them from the core message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Having said that, the fact remains that any gospel presentation tool is useless without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. As you evangelize to children with these or any tool, they encourage you to commit your efforts to God.

Users of the Halloween tracts, like Bethany, have shared testimonials that include, “We used these Halloween tracts in our children’s ministry to teach children how to share the Gospel. These are very colorful, kid-friendly, easy to put together, and a really great tool for teaching kids the Gospel and how to share the Gospel with others!”

Angela Rene Sisk shared, “I used these little tracts at our Trunks of Blessings at church this past Halloween. I put a box of Lemon Heads in each one. The kids liked them, and I am sure the parents looked at them when the children opened them up and asked mom or dad what they said. I’d definitely recommend these to use Halloween!!”

Ex-Devil Worshiper: “I’m Shocked Christians Celebrate Halloween”

by GOD TV
written by GOD TV

The word Halloween appears to be of Christian origin according to Wikipedia’s Etymology.  It means ‘hallowed evening’ or ‘holy evening’ from a Scottish term for All Hallows’ Eve.  However, history says that it has been greatly influenced by pagan roots and evolved into how people celebrate Halloween these days.

For this reason, it has become a big issue to many Christians.  Many speculate it is evil and thus, shouldn’t be considered a special day for Christians, but what does a former devil worshiper say about this?

John Ramirez, the Author of Unmasking the Devil and a former Satan worshiper reveals a covert piece of information about Halloween that Christians should be aware of.

John is very straightforward and describes Halloween as an evil practice.

“As devil worshippers, Halloween was very special to us, and we looked forward to celebrating it because we knew the implications and the dark power behind the night.  It is very different from every other night in the witchcraft world.  It would be like me saying to believers today, “How important to you are Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday?”  Halloween has that much weight and importance to those who dwell on the dark side.

I remember the days leading up to Halloween, we devil worshippers had our instructions from the demon world about what had to be done, and we knew it was going to be a long night.  I would sleep all day to be rested up and ready for midnight so I could unleash hell on the world into the wee hours of the morning,” states John, based from his own personal experience.

This liturgical time of the year is supposed to be celebrated in honor of the saints, martyrs and faithful ones who have departed through remembering them.  Yet in the end, nothing is holy about it.  It lost its real purpose, resulting in mere ritual and tradition for self-gratification.  It has deceived people to join in celebrating the devil’s holiday and sadly it has become a normal thing.

John added, “I am surprised at how the world embraces this holiday, because the title of All Saints’ Day is a deceiving one.  We have a picture in our minds that it seems holy, but there is nothing innocent about it.”

Moreover, he commends how to counter this work of darkness as faithful followers of Jesus.

“As a minister, I would use All Saints’ Day to turn the tables on the devil and to celebrate my salvation and the salvation of my family and loved ones.  I would use it as an evangelistic opportunity at my church to bring in unsaved people to hear testimonies of God’s goodness and how He can transform their lives, too.  And that night, I would give the devil a black eye in Jesus’ name, because many souls would be saved.”

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

Now that you know the truth, how will you celebrate Halloween as you move forward?

Ex-Witch Reveals Hidden Truths About Halloween

by GOD TV
written by GOD TV

Satan uses many different ways in order to trap people. He even disguises himself as an angel and twists the Word of God just to deceive us. “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.”(2 Corinthians 11:14). He tries to make his evil ways look normal in this world and sometimes makes villains appear good and acceptable. That is why all believers need to be discerning in every way especially concerning what belongs to God and what doesn’t.

Beth Eckert of The Other Side of Darkness, is known to be a former witch who is now living for Jesus. She shares certain hidden truths about the celebration of Halloween.

Beth believes Halloween is evil and Satan loves the fact that Christians celebrate it because it opens them up to darkness. She says Halloween is a day dedicated to the devil.

She knows this because she once belonged in the darkness. Listen to her as she reveals the enemy’s strategies to try and take you captive.

But you do not have to be afraid because, if you belong to God, no one can stand against the children of the light, even Satan.

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5)

Can Christians Be Hexed?

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

‘Tis the Season of Halloween

Every year, around October, Christian writers, bloggers and preachers discuss the positives or negatives of Halloween. Some churches and ministries will not join in the festivities, but they may host a ‘harvest’ party. It looks similar to other events going on in our neighborhoods, but officially it assuages people’s conscience because it’s not celebrating the ‘darkness.’

And, every year without fail, Christians talk about the ‘evil’ going on during this season. Viral articles go to great lengths trying to convince Spirit-filled believers how not to be hexed. And supposed signs of being hexed may be exhaustion, unexplained fatigue, a migraine, sickness and more. Books will be written providing formulas for you to pray, making sure you’re ‘praying the correct prayers.’ In a way, these prayers look similar to incantations themselves, but mention the name, Jesus.

With the ‘current upsurge’ this month of demonic activity, as covens meet, witches and warlock curses seem to be a concern. These things may seem to feel spiritually accurate, but the question is, are they Biblically accurate?

What the Bible Shows About Hexes

Within the pages of the Old Testament, Proverbs 26:2 (MEV) says, “As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause will not alight.” This shows that a verbal curse, whether it is demonic, such as a spell or incantation, will just fly by. When a curse is spoken toward a believer in Yahweh, it will not come to pass. And nowhere in the Old Testament does a curse intended for demonic purposes affect children of God. In the case of Balaam, the curse he was hired in pronouncing over Israel was reversed into a blessing by the Holy Spirit.

As a Spirit-empowered Christian, in referencing Jesus, Hebrews 8:1 says, “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry. Because He is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” If demonic, spoken word curses had no bearing on Old Testament followers of God, then believers in Jesus under the new covenant cannot be hexed. We are under better promises. Curses will not settle on you if you are in Christ.

And most importantly, the enemy is powerless against us because we are in Christ! Colossians 2:14-18 says, “He blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us and contrary to us. And He took it out of the way, nailing it to the Cross. And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the Cross.”

Biblical Truth Prevails

All demonic authority was crucified, being made a spectacle by Jesus. He triumphed over the Law, taking the punishment we deserved for sins. He took the curse of the Law, of sin and death, breaking and disarming all demonic influence on the cross. And then He sent His wonderful Holy Spirit empowering you to do greater things in His name (John 14:12).

Farmers Rally to Help Grieving Family Finish Harvest

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

Tragedy on the Farm

Steve Wollyung of Connersville, Indiana shares his story restoring our faith in humanity, while reminding people about keeping safe while outdoors. On November 5, 2016, he was preparing to harvest the last 112 acres on his farm when his 4-year-old granddaughter, Ayla, started playing on a grain wagon and got trapped.

First responders were able to remove Ayla from the grain wagon but after life-flighting her to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital she later passed away. The news was deeply devastating, spiraling the family into shock and grieving. But that’s when their community came together and helped the grieving family bear a heavy burden. 

Good People Are Still Around

Tara Henry reached out to the Wollyungs the day after the tragedy. After finding out that the final 100 acres were not completed, Tara began calling up a number of other farmers for help. On November 12, 2016, multiple combines, semis and grain carts came to serve. Tara rallied the volunteer army of farmers. After praying together, they got to work to finish the harvesting for the Wollyung family.

Steve Wollyung told reporters, “I couldn’t believe it when I saw everyone showing up to help. All the support and number of people wanting to help is just overwhelming. It was emotional to see everyone. Whatever we needed, they brought.”

A Community Bands Together to Serve

Other people volunteered bringing food, snacks and water for those serving. Work started at 10:00 am and by 5:00 pm they had harvested 18,463 bushels. Steve stated that the work would have taken him a week to do on his own. 

Nathan Williamson said the high turnout of volunteers was a reflection of the type of person Steve is. “He’s a very honest, stand up guy, and just a good community member. I was talking with some other people at the farm and we all seem to agree that sometimes the worst things happen to the best people.”

Nathan added that such an effort is typical of the farming community. “Most farmers look out for each other and would do that for anyone.”

Steve said, “This truly shows that people will drop everything to help their neighbors in times of need.” And he wants his story to help raise awareness about the dangers on farms for children. With corn mazes, hayrides and farm visits being so popular, everyone needs to understand the potential dangers. “We need to teach kids that farms are a place where serious work is done and they can be dangerous.”
