Could you speak into what Halloween meant for you when you were practicing witchcraft and why
you are so outspoken against Christians participating in Halloween? Halloween
for people that are in witchcraft and I wasn't into Satanism stuff, to me that was like weird,
scary the dark, bad, bad people. But even for them, it is not about trick-or-treating,
it is not about finding a super cute kitty cat costume. It is about celebrating that particular
like festivals that happen during those times and giving honor to you know the moon God and
all of these different deities. And so it is you give respect and honor for that. So Halloween
is to a witch like Resurrection Sunday would be to a Christian,
and they take it very seriously and they're geared up. Listen, this is what's so crazy.
Witches will begin to help their sleep schedule. So they rest, they get up,
they rest. All of that is done strategically, so that in that night they are so well rested,
that they can be up all throughout the night practicing the craft.
That's what they're doing. They will literally fast and gather together, and they're doing all
these spells and incantations and everything that you can imagine. They're up all hours of
the night, and it blows my mind, you can't even get people to come to a one-hour prayer service
in church. But witches will be strategic about making sure they're speaking curses over the city,
on the children, and many of them will speak cursed over like if they don't like a president,
they did that with our last president. They will begin to stay up all night long cursing
and putting death. If they don't like a particular church, the church is coming against them or you
know being offensive to them and their religion and what they believe, and they'll just begin to
say, "We're going to get rid of that." And so we need to understand that this is not, this is not
play time. There's a real demonic realm. When I went to open drawers, it wasn't just happenstance
that the drawers would open. Demons and spirits are trying to create this whole illusion around
people in witchcraft, that they have incredible power. And if you're not careful, if you're not
careful, you'll start participating in stuff because you have bowed to the pressures of
this world and the God of this age, and you will start to go, "Well you know, I don't want my kids
to miss out." And I've said this before and I know Isaiah says this, "I want my kid to miss out on a
demonic holiday for demons." Come on. Just like I want her to missed out on hell. I don't want
her to go to hell. "Well I just want to make sure she goes and just sees what it's like." No, I'm
snatching her out. I don't need to be best friend, I need to be protective mama. As for me and my
household, we will serve the Lord and not just 364 days of the week, 365 days of the week. Halloween
is not a holiday. It is nothing in my book. It's not on my calendar. What is on my calendar
is I'm gonna serve the Lord and He is worthy of all the glory, the honor, and the praise,
forever and ever and ever in Jesus name. Come on, come on. Now that's preaching right there.
What about somebody who says, "Well, you know I understand but I am not going, I'm not dressing
up to go and attract demons. I don't believe in that stuff and so it's not going to affect me."
I mean what you've shared, how we know when you went out of ignorance, out of you know
rebellion and out of rejection. It seems like the demons did not care about your intentions.Right.
They simply, I always say the demons are like mosquitoes, they don't read signs. You can put
a sign in front of your front house, front yard and say "Mosquitoes are not welcome." If you open
a door, you can put whatever sign you want. If you open a door, mosquitoes fly straight in. You can
be a Republican, you can be a Democrat, you can be tongue speaking, you could be an apostle, pastor.
Absolutely they don't read signs, they don't care about that. They don't need to own the house, to
fly in and begin to torment or harass that person. Can you speak a little bit into those people who
are saying, "Well, I don't believe it, so it doesn't apply for me. I can celebrate it. I can
take part in it. I can practice also all of these other things. I'm just a person who has this great
faith that I am protected and it does not affect me, even if you guys say that it's opening doors."
Well I will say this, "Even if you don't believe in demons, they believe in you." So I mean at the
end of the day, they're real. Just like if I say, "I don't believe in God," does that mean that God
just poof, He's gone? No, He's still there. Demons are still there and what demons will do is they
will tell people, "Ignore us. We don't exist." That, if you're hearing that, can I tell you who's
been whispering that so we can shed some light on it in the mighty name of Jesus let every ear be
open right now. Please. Demons have been telling people that for years and years and years, "Don't
look at us, we're not even here." That's just them making it up. "We don't exist. That's not true."
Yes, it is true. Demons understand authority, they understand legal ground and so you can say,
"I don't want demons in my life." That's not what they're listening to. They're listening to you
saying, "Yes, it is okay for you to come in here." Pornography says to them, without you saying a
word, "Yes it is okay for you to come in here." When you have jack-o'-lanterns and if you don't
know the origin of that, listen, if you've got them out there and you didn't know. I promise you,
you get rid of them, you can be forgiven. We're not judging you. We're not sending you to hell.
That's not what we do. I know Pastor Vlad is not like that. I'm not like that. We're just trying
to help you understand, you're gonna open a door and later on you're gonna pray. You're going to
come to a deliverance service and say, "Cast the devil out," and you're going to wonder where it
came from and those are the things that demons use to come in. They're like sign contracts,
they really are. Even things like, I know this is not the topic but things like unforgiveness,
bitterness, malice in the heart, envy. Envy opens the door to all kinds of sin. Those also tell us,
hey this is an open door and so it's the same thing when you bring accursed items into your
house. Demonic items that we know God is not like, oh, I love that skeleton that makes all the kids
in the neighborhood scared in their dreams. God is not like, good idea, that was a great
you know decoration. Come on now. We gotta wake up. Either we want to fit in with the world or we
want to stand and be holy, and but as for me I'm not trying to fit in. I could care less what my
neighbors think about me not celebrating. I don't care if the kids come knock on the door and what
am I gonna say? Trust me, we're prepared. We have the blood, we have the Spirit of God, we know how
to address the community without scaring people away. And so there are people on here listening
right now, 1800 and whoever how many people. I know that from this moment God is already dealing
with your heart and I promise you, if you listen to the Holy Spirit, He will speak to you and lead
you In all truth, this very night. So good, so good. I think that for those of you who maybe
are planning or who are planning to take part in that, we would really encourage you to reconsider.
And that you take time to pray, you take time to fast, you take time to draw close to Jesus,
you take time to be distinct, to be separated from this world. We are not to conform to this world,
we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We are to live holy. And I know that a lot
of people think today that they're so afraid of being legalistic, that they have walked away from
holiness and righteousness. And yes, some people have taken it to a legalistic perspective but
if you keep Jesus and keep the Holy Spirit in front of you, you'll never be a legalist. But
to somebody who is taking advantage of the grace of God and they call it greasy grace, where pretty
much they are not walking in the grace that empowers them to overcome sin, but in the grace
that gives them an excuse to do whatever they want. That's not grace. Grace teaches us in Titus,
it says to deny ungodliness. Grace, it saves us, It doesn't give us a license. And I know nobody
needs a license but the grace of God, it gives us the power and it makes us holy, it makes us right.
I've never met a person who does deliverance who celebrates Halloween. Wow, that's true. Yeah I've
never met one person. That is true. Every person who "claims" that they believe, "Oh yeah you know,
we believe in casting out demons." They just talk about it and they believe it but they actually
don't do it. But if you actually do a deliverance, one deliverance in your life and you see how much
demons torment people, you would stay away from anything that smells like demons. We're not even
talking about even if it potentially doesn't give you an open door. Anything that even resembles,
you will try to stay as far away from it as possible. And so it's just really sad
to see that Christians, especially in the United States, will fight ministry of deliverance and
then they'll fight for the right to celebrate Halloween. And God forbid you say something,
and then they'll come at you. And so it seems like man you're demonizing the ministry of
deliverance and then you're justifying something that has no business in the life of a Christian.
