Growing Closer To Jesus Daily
Remember God and His great mercy for your life. Give Him thanks and praise this day in prayer and supplications.
There are many reasons why Halloween is of the devil and I pray that you will stop participating in it if you have not already.
Ephesians 5:22,23 (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Husbands, love your wives. Wives, respect your husbands. Find out what the needs are of your spouse and fulfill them.
We are taught in the Bible to not worship angels. Even angels have told people to not worship them but God alone.
The truth is, Halloween is a very dark and devilish holiday. We are not to participate in it in any fashion for God’s sake.
Ephesians 5:22-25 (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
The Bible teaches that women are to respect their husbands, as men love their wives. In so doing, we do this unto the Lord.
How can people say they have God in their lives while still participating in Halloween? This goes against His will for us.
Do not celebrate Halloween. It is of the devil. Stay in the light of Jesus and don’t allow the darkness to seep into your lives.
Ephesians 5:6-9 (KJV)
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
A Christian lifestyle is different than wicked people in this world. Therefore, we are no longer partakers in their evil deeds.
Ephesians 5:5-7 (KJV)
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians 5:1-3 (KJV)
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
God can see those who are having sex outside of marriage and are looking at pornography. These are the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:8-11 (KJV)
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
When it comes to willful sin, Paul taught the believers to not live any longer this way, where you will be drawn away from God and into the world.
Did you not know that the bible says, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11)
Ephesians 5:1-5 (KJV)
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
So the question is now, should believers have any reason to still covet? You may think not, but the answer here might surprise you, because we should. What? How can this be?
Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
The Lord is our light and our strength. If you desire to follow Him, then why not allow His light to expel the darkness in your life.
The Catholic Church’s Ten Commandments is a modified version of Exodus 20. It is not the same thing, but a very slim down version of the real deal.Â
Ephesians 5:9-11 (KJV)
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
The second thing that people do that is of this world is participate in Halloween, and watch horror flicks. Even haunted houses do they seek out, in order to have a good scare.
Ephesians 5:14-17 (KJV)
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Please know that people can say all they want to that they are Christian, but if their lifestyle outside of church is different, then they are only a hypocrite of what they say they are.
Ephesians 5:1,2 (KJV)
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
If you want to know what a true stand out is in life, then look no further than Christ. Jesus, our Savior, lived a perfect, selfless life.
As we’ve read in the verses in Exodus, chapter 20, we are not to worship anything but God, which excludes Mary, the saints and angels.
Ephesians 5:17-20 (KJV)
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
