One would think that this subject would not need to be addressed at all among believers. However, such
is not the case. Often defended as “harmless,innocent fun,” believers mingle among the unbelievers in
allowing their children to celebrate what should be labeled, “the mother of all pagan holidays!” Some
churches even seek to clean it up by calling it a “Hallelujah Party” sanctified by angel costumes rather
than devilish ones. Lately, there is a move among evangelicals to use the world’s love for Halloween as
an attraction for “evangelism” via the popular “Hell-House” displays.

“What is in a name?” When it comes to the name “HALLOWEEN” , the answer is, “Everything!”
It is easy to see this word chosen as a name for this demonic Holiday is based on the obsolete word,
“HALLOW”

However, we all know the Lord’s Prayer begins with the words:

“OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME…”

Matt. 6:9

Consider carefully what the Encyclopedia records of the word “Hallow”:

We saw earlier that the word HALOWEN“ ”FROM MIDDLE ENGLISH
“HOLIDAY” was derived from a
Wikipedia Encyclopedia
word only used for religious
“HOLY DAYS.” Now we have the
word “HALLOW” as the root of
the Holiday “HALLOWEEN”

Note the word “hallow” comes

from the Middle English word
“HALOWEN” which was a word
for “holy”, that which is to be “set

apart for holy use.” Jesus singles

out this word as an expression of

reverence for God our Father in

Heaven. What has Satan done

with this word? He has changed
“HALOWEN” to “HALLOWEEN”

He has taken something originally reserved as an expression of veneration for our Holy God and
Father in Heaven and has deceived the world by turning it into a holiday designed to “HALLOW”

all things demonic and evil! Have we forgotten Satan’s stated objective towards Almighty God?

“I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, “ALL THESE THINGS I WILL GIVE YOU IF YOU
I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE WILL FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP ME.
STARS OF GOD; I WILL SIT ON THE MOUNT
OF THE CONGREGATION… I WILL ASCEND THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM, ‘AWAY WITH YOU
ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS, SATAN! FOR IT IS WRITTEN, ‘YOU SHALL
WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD…’ ”
I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.” Matt. 4:9-10
Isa. 14:12-14

So tell me dear Christian (follower of Christ), should this be a “HOLIDAY” that you should “HALLOW”

in any form or fashion? Should your lips even utter the word Halloween as being something you set

before your children? This demonic hallowing of the dead is now the second most decorated holiday

next to Christmas. Halloween is a demonically inspired Holiday designed to usurp the worship due to

our God and Father in Heaven. Any celebration of Halloween by Christians is a slap-in-the-face to our

God and Father by the self-proclaimed god of this present evil age. Don’t call it, “innocent and harmless

fun,” but rather teach your children how evil it is and that Satan lies behind this demonic Holiday!

“TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.”
Prov. 22:6
