I always feel sad when I see children dressed up in scary costumes at this time of year. It strikes me that October 31st has been hijacked by commercial powers and that the very serious and dark spiritual world is made to look attractive and fun. This is echoed and compounded by some computer games and children’s literature that glamorise and make light of witchcraft. We must protect our children from the risk of developing a fascination with these things. The fantastic reality is that Jesus has overcome the devil at the cross and we don’t need to fear any demon or any spiritual force or power. Greater is He that’s living in us than he that is in the world.
May you be strengthened with all power according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Col 1:11-14)
