Hi!
Halloween is just around the corner... If there is one festival that I hate, it would be this one. I just can not bring myself to celebrate the dark side. I don't believe everything in Halloween is directly connected to demons, but I do believe most of Halloween is totally contrary to the Kingdom of Light. So yes, you guessed right my family doesn't celebrate Halloween;)
So what to do in this season?
Well of course you can just take a long hike up the mountains and return when it's all over...
OR
Use this time to meet up with friends & celebrate something, but not Halloween as such. And maybe times like these can surface interest in the spiritual dimension of life... So it can give us an opportunity to be freshly aware of the battle we are in and open some other people's eyes to the reality of the spiritual too and the need to get armed for the real battle...
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:10-13)
