To begin with it is with a profound sense of urgency to speak on Halloween Many of the Indulgences that are upheld today by the church, particularly the Catholic Church.
Indulgences are things according to the dictionary things that remit a part or all of the temporal and purgatorial punishment that according to the Roman Catholicism is due for sins whose eternal punishment has been remitted or whose guilt has been pardoned through a sacrament or penance. Indulgences are things we go along with even though we know it’s not of God and may not be Holy at all and in this case down right evil, For instance: Halloween. So Here’s the history of Halloween. Halloween goes back at least 2,000 years and is an old pagan holiday called Somhain (sow -in). On October 31, this pagan holiday marked the end of the harvest season and end of the calendar year.Then
On November 1 it was the beginning of winter and the beginning of the calendar year. The celebration culminated with a big bonfire while the locals wore costumes to scare away evil spirits. And now look how far off base human society have gone

Then years later Pope Gregory III designated that November 1 the beginning of their calendar year and All Saints Day. Nothing was wrong with that , but After a while All Saints Day Incorporated (Somhain)sow-in day one day before all saints day. It was called Hallows Eve and later called Halloween.

You can’t evil on and off as you please.Halloween have evolved in the 21st century as a month long celebration of which today and tonight marks and evening of trick or treats, carving jack-o-lanterns,having festivals, parties, and gatherings,with donning costumes, and eating treats.

All Saints Day is wonderful 3x but compared to Halloween it’s like All Saints Day So What! Halloween in America and around the world is one of the biggest candy sales day, one of the biggest costumes celebrations TV shows for the best most evil get up or costume or stage prop that you can dream up and get paid for it!!! I must admit that my Grandparents raised me and my Bompa and momo would buy me any Halloween costume that was out there. Wait wait wait there were god fearing bible toting scripture quoting love the Lord people. And now the more research I do on this matter, even though I looked forward to Halloween this was not Holy at all.And what I did differently with my own children was I just bought the boys the batman superman spider man suits for Christmas, then for the girls the Princess costumes Dora the explorer Sailor moon costumes for Christmas.. None these 5 children will even say that that I didn’t do for them. But!!! not on Halloween.. We were so oppose to the Opposer (Satan)until we created Hallelujah Night to combat Halloween night.it worked for a while but the world system love its own. And who is the caused of the trouble ? Satan, So who is Satan ?

1.Satan is the head of the demons and led their rebellion against God; he now leads them in propagating evil in the world. According to Scripture,(Ephesians 2:1) KJV And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience
2.Satan was a particularly powerful and high-ranking angel who led one third of the angelic host to rebel against God Look at Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
In Rev 12:1–12 Satan is a Hebrew word that means “adversary” (שָׂטָן). accuser Belial, Beliar,Devil,The enemy,Evil One,Father of lies,Lucifer,Tempter. Satan means to oppose it literally means adversary Diabolos the word where we get diabolical scheme and wicked plots from, in the Septuagint.
3. Satan as “the devil”
(Matt 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him).
Same story in Lk 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
4. Satan “the serpent” (Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
2 Cor 11: 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
5. Satan as“the great dragon” (Rev 12:9; cf Rev 20:2),
6. Satan as “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), 7. Satan as“the god of this age” (2 Cor 4:4),
8. Satan as “the evil one” (Matt 13:19, 38; Jn 17:15; Eph 6:16),
9. Satan as “the prince of demons” (Matt 9:34; 12:24; Mk 3:22; Lk 11:15),
10. Satan as“the accuser” (Rev 12:10), and “the tempter” (Matt 4:3; 1 Thess 3:5). Like the other angels and demons, Satan is an invisible being who is highly intelligent and very powerful. Satan was responsible for tempting Eve in the garden and leading humanity’s first parents into sin. Though Genesis never explicitly identifies the serpent as Satan, later Scripture identifies the “ancient serpent” as “Satan” (Rev 12:9; 20:2). Since his initial rebellion, Satan has continued to work against God’s righteous and saving purposes in the world. … Read more »
