Can a Christian celebrate Halloween in good conscience?
I note this a controversial topic in Christian communities .
As a parent to a young child, I have to admit I did dress my daughter up in fairy clothes and princess costumes during her daycare days just so she is not isolated as one of the odds. But now she is a pre teen, she has a voice, she knows the Lord and can speak for herself, take a stand on why she chooses not to celebrate Halloween.
How do you handle Halloween with young and not so young minds ? The below verse was my foundation from the Word that I shared with my daughter on why as a Christian we choose not to follow or celebrate or part take in anything Halloween.
Would love to know what scriptures do you use to backup for yourself or explain to your kids ?
Today marks exactly 8 years since I started blogging and the Lord nudged me to reshare my first written post on this blog
I pray that as you read the below first blog written on 20th Oct 2015, your heart will be reminded of the hope that is forever in Jesus and that you will find your strength from above, the author and perfecter of your faith, the One who knows it all . His timing is perfect and He never leaves you alone
Strength From Above
The Lord put this in my heart this morning !! As I was just sitting with my morning coffee, and trying hard to battle my thoughts and the overwhelming situations currently in my life. The Lord reminded me that the battle is His and all I need to do is fix my eyes on Him for strength !! He has got it ALL !! Hallelujah !! Love you Jesus 🙂
Heb 12:2 Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith
Terrors of giants surrounded me Too big for me to handle Too powerful for me to tackle I looked to You for help Refusing to give up on the battle And the precious life you gifted me
You gave me a sling A sling of powerful prayer And a stone to go along with it A stone of mountain moving faith You shielded me with Armour An Armour of courage and Strength Covered me with undeserving Grace and topped it up with unconditional Love
Now I will march forth and along In the army of the Lord The battle is the Lord’s He promised to be there , always I have to just hold His hand In my dance with Him And let Him lead me
My God is all able My God is all powerful My God has conquered it ALL Just for you and me We are more than conquerors Through Him and His strength Fix your eyes on Jesus That’s how the battle is won
