Prophetic Truths, Wisdom
& Encouragement

2 Corinthians 7:1 "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
The Lord continues to talk to me about the upcoming events and about Christians
and their attitudes, and especially compromise. For compromise by a believer leads to
destruction. We are not of this world, friends. The world has its own spirit and does
things according to that spirit's ways. Jesus not only said, "Come out from among them
and be ye separate", but He has also proclaimed "I have overcome the world", and "My
ways are not your ways". There has to come a time, a moment, where you, as a believer,
decide it's God's way or no way at all. That no matter what, you are going to stand fast,
stand strong, stand in faith, stand firmly grounded and rooted in God's Word, God's ways.
If the ways of the world are at enmity with Almighty God, how then can a believer
choose to go the ways of His enemy? How could one, then, stand before Him, He who is
holy, righteous, blessed, KNOWING that you have sided with His foe? Think about it
seriously. Pray about it. Ask God to reveal ANY areas of compromise in you, repent,
and then ask Him to remove them. ANYTHING outside of His perfect will for your life
is compromise. His way < ---- > NOT His way. It couldn't be any clearer.
One SERIOUS compromise Christians make this time of year is with the pagan satanic evil
holiday called halloween. I cannot tell you how many people have said to me, "What's the
harm? I'll dress my children up in biblical costumes." Or, "If you don't worship a thing, it's ok
to participate." Or, "It's just candy". HALLOWEEN IS satan's HOLIDAY. HALLOWEEN
CELEBRATES DEATH AND INVITES THE OCCULT AND DEMONS. Jesus said, "I came
to bring light into the world". Halloween is a celebration of darkness. I ask again, WHY
WOULD ANY CHRISTIAN WHO TRULY LOVES THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR,
THEIR LOVE, THEIR REDEEMER, THEIR ALPHA, THEIR OMEGA, THEIR ALL
IN ALL...why would ANY of you, then, choose to celebrate HIS ENEMY's HOLIDAY?!?!
I found the following quote online: "Halloween is a "religious day" but it is NOT a
Christian day." Tom Sanguinet, former high priest in the Celtic tradition of Wicca (witchcraft)
said, "The modern holiday we call Halloween has its origins in the full moon closest to
November 1, the witches’ New Year. It was a time when the "spirits" (demons) were supposed
to be at their peak power and revisiting the earth planet." He went on to say, "Halloween
is purely and absolutely evil, and there is nothing we ever have or will do that would
make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus."
The Lord is asking you to turn away from the things of this world. He says,
"To take a demonic holiday, then re-package it as "good" and celebrate that day
anyway is still compromise". The Lord is asking that, instead, you spend that night
in prayer, in intercession, in worship of Him and all of His goodness. Celebrate
His light by doing those things that are pleasing in His sight. Be holy and acceptable
unto the Lord, friends. Choose to glorify God with all of your deeds and all of your time.
"But what about our children? They see all the other children having fun, getting candy,
dressing up. Surely we can't rob them of some enjoyment, making them feel left out....".
Almighty God is asking you to raise up your children in the way that HE would have them
to go. If you are going to compromise to appease your children, you will compromise
anything. Not to mention if your children were truly being raised in the things of God, they
shouldn't WANT to celebrate this evil day. God is DEPENDING on you to raise these
children in the ways of the Lord. Children as young as age 1 1/2 and 2 are PROPHESYING!
They can HEAR FROM GOD! They may not be able to read and understand a King James
Bible, but if you surround them with the things of God from their birth and teach them about
how much God loves them and they, in turn, love God, all you would have to say is, "Honey,
we don't celebrate that event because it hurts/is against God". They WILL understand!
God's Spirit speaks to their spirits - He confirms the true. They're not too young ever to
"get it". Trust the Lord in this area - after all, they were never your children but instead
God intrusted you with them on HIS BEHALF. You are raising them to be lovers of God
for HIS glory. If you, therefore, compromise on behalf of the children, not only will you
be held accountable for this action, but you will also open a door for evil to enter into their
lives and the life of your family. DOING THE RIGHT THING according to God's Word
is NEVER wrong.
Teach them to be light in the darkness.
Teach them to be an example to THEIR friends.
Be an example to your neighbors.
Help your children be an example to their school.
Represent Christ in each and every aspect of your life.
I found two articles on the subject you can read:

Listen to God's Spirit. We are on the brink of the greatest outpouring of His precious
Holy Spirit that our nation has ever seen. I'm believing God for significant things soon....
are you ready for the greatest move of the Spirit in the history of America? Now is
the time to be about the Father's business day and night. For it is only when we submit
to His time of preparation for us that we, in turn, will be able to prepare the way
for His glorious return!
NO COMPROMISE!!!
Who has ears let him hear what the Spirit saith....
In His Unfailing Love,
His Messenger
