Thoughts On Halloween

Oct 26, 2025    Pastor Tim Rust

Halloween is a combination of Pagan & Christian traditions

Started out as All Hallows Eve, a Christian term

Word Hallow means to recognize something as Holy sacred

Started as an ancient Celtic Festival celebrating the end of harvest and the start of a New Year on October 31

8th Century, the Pope started All Saints Day to honor deceased believers & martyrs on November 1

November 2 is All Souls Day where dead believers in Purgatory undergoing purification are prayed into heaven

Celtic Festival included many Pagan rituals

How do we relate to Halloween, the most important day of the year for Satanic worship

Celebrate Jesus on October 31st in everything you do – Psalms 118:24, 1 Corinthians 10:20-21

Understand what the day means to the demonic realm & how to counter it. Luke 10:18-20, Isaiah 14:12-15, Revelations 12:7-9

Thoughts and intents of the heart affect the Spiritual Realm
