Why Fake Christian Ministries Push the Halloween Trick-or-Treat Ritual
Why do so many well known "Christian" ministries strongly encourage Christians to enter into what they claim is a harmless Halloween trick-or-treat tradition? Because it is not harmless, and they know it.
Trick-or-treat, which appears to be an innocent tradition, is in reality a satanic ritual that originates with Satan and cannot be sanctified no matter how many rationalizations Satan's ministers come up with. The trick-or-treat ritual is Satan's invention and is carried out on Satan's night. Any person, Christian or not, who participates in this ritual is giving evil spirits an invitation to come into his life and have fellowship with him. Demonic affliction is a heavy price to pay for engaging in what false Christian ministers call "harmless fun."
A concerned Australian shared the Druidic origin of the trick-or-treat ritual. It represents human sacrifice:
In Australia today we are seeing a tradition which has been accepted overseas for many years creeping into our way of life with an alarming acceptance. It is becoming an event which is becoming popular on the social calendar. The evening of 31st October will see many young Australian children going from door to door calling “trick or treat”, not knowing that such a ritual was practiced by the Druids and their followers in medieval times.
The trick-or-treat ritual was practiced by the Druids and their followers in medieval times.
The Druids went from castle to castle doing exactly the same thing. They also demanded a ‘treat’, however, this demand was for a young woman who could be offered as a human sacrifice in a Satanic ritual. The Druids were known as men of Oak and they demanded blood sacrifices. These men were so controlled by Satanic forces that they had strange and frightening powers.
If the ‘treat’ (the young woman) pleased the Druids, they would light a candle made of human fat and insert it in a Jack-O-Lantern to protect those inside the castle from being killed by demons.
When some of the families could not meet the demands of the Druids then it was time for a ‘trick’. A hexagram was drawn on the front door of the dwelling, and it was said that Satan or his demons would kill someone in the household through fear that night.
The spellbinding beat of the druid music would fill the night as the ceremony began. The men would assault their victim and then brutally sacrifice her to their gods.(1)
Trick-or-Treat Ritual Gives Place to the Devil
Satan's agents, who represent themselves as Christians, do not want Christians to know that Halloween is about human sacrifice and they definitely do not want them to pray against it. That is the reason they do not mention the need to pray against ritual human sacrifice and instead, urge Christians to participate in the trick-or-treat ritual which represents human sacrifice.
Since the trick-or-treat ritual looks cute on the surface, Christians who have not investigated this matter are entering into this annual custom for a little bit of what they regard as "harmless fun." In reality, the trick-or-treat ritual is a culturally and church-sanctioned way for Satan to gain inroads into to the lives of those who participate in it.
Many Christians are already aware that Halloween is dedicated to Satan, and as such abstain from it. In response to their resolve to do right, Satan uses another avenue in which to deceive them into giving place to him via the accursed trick-or-treat ritual: Evangelism!
Surely God is pleased when His people respond to Satan's prized "trick-or-treat" phrase with some cursed candy (2) and a tract. Right? No. God is not pleased. (Click here to learn how to evangelize on Halloween without compromise.)
God will not prevent Satan from taking the ground that Christians choose to give him by participating in his cursed trick-or-treat ritual. When children come to the door saying, "Trick-or-Treat!" evil spirits have permission to access the lives of those who respond to the words, "trick-or-treat!" with anything that serves as a treat (candy or even a tract) because to do so is to compromise by touching the unclean thing -- the ritual of trick-or-treat.
The reason for this is because the phrase, "trick-or-treat" is specific to and exclusively used for Satan's Halloween ritual. Satan invented Halloween, human sacrifice (which his servants do on occult ritual days) and the trick-or-treat tradition. To offer a treat in response to the words, "trick-or-treat" is to partake of Satan's ritual. That is how he gains the right to send devils into the lives of trick-or-treat participants, whether they attend church or not.
Note: Tracts that present the gospel and expose the truth about Halloween may be given out on Halloween. However, God's people must not give place to the devil by participating in the TRICK-OR-TREAT RITUAL as part of evangelism because it is an abomination in the sight of God.
If you are like me and have trick-or-treated as a child or permitted your children to do so (I have done both many years ago) then you need to repent toward God and renounce your participation in what is an occult ritual in disguise. As an obedient child of God who has put this sin behind you, command all evil spirits that came into your lives and the lives of your children to leave in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Bless God for his tender mercies toward those who fear him.
