Please feel free to stop by: Trailing After God

We all know that Christ was not born on December 25, but as a friend once told me, He WAS born, so if we choose a day to celebrate His birth, that's okay with me. I'm very knowledgeable about the pagan origins of Christmas, and what Constantine did to try to unite the people under God. But the Word says in Romans 14:5
"One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind." There is no condemnation for celebrating on December 25th if you are not condemned within. In Christ there is no condemnation. We have freedom in the Holy Spirit, because "where the Spirit is, there is freedom."

I am coming from a life of huge idolatry, Halloween celebrations, and so much more, and have separated myself from several churches who on the outside look very Godly, and Holy, but in reality were going along with most of the apostate churches around the world.

I followed the opinions of men, and women, over the pure truth of scripture, and wondered why I was so confused all the time, and wishy washy over the truth.

Surely, the pastors were correct! Or my good friends were correct, but this wasn’t so.

Yes we must separate from the masses in this apostate world, and seek the truth apart from the opinions of men.

Those who stand for the pure truth of the Gospel will not be popular as Jesus has told us many times, that if they hated me they will hate you also.

And when we stand for the truth, about the evils of Halloween, and the pagan holidays such as Xmas, and Easter, and take a stand against them, we will be mocked, and even hated, and the reason I say this is because it is happening to me.

The more I draw closer to Christ, and His truth, the more distant I feel in the world, and as true believers we should hate that which is evil, and expose it, and bring it into the light, where it can be seen for what it really is, a lie of satan to deceive the world and the elect, which is the church.

I live a quiet life, alone now, as most so called Christians disagree with the truth as I present it,and see nothing wrong with celebrating Halloween in a safe manner by calling it by a Christian theme, but I see no way we can take what is dark and call it light.

Bottom line on this is that we as true believers are called to be SEPERATE FROM THE WORLD, TO BE HOLY, AND PURE, in a very dark and perverse world!

We must rightly divide the word of God, and seek to emulate Christ in all we do, as a lost and dying world is watching us.

I am learning so much every day, and the LORD has been so very patient and long suffering with me, and all my failures.

I encourage all of you to abstain from all forms of evil, and know that which man highly esteems is an abomination to our Lord, so we must come out from the world, and its pagan holidays, and stop offending our creator, and learn to follow Him alone in humble obedience, not out of works or earning His love, but out of our love, for Him and what He did for us on the cross.

This Halloween I was at home, praying for the world, and praying against the evil night, which no Christian who is truly following Jesus Christ in spirit and truth should have anything to do with it.

I don’t expect to be popular, especially when I stand AGAINST all that the Lord calls an abomination in His site.

My life was filled with many abominations, and the more I read His truth, and believe me, my free time is dedicated to this, plus sharing the Gospel of John, and Christ with the lost where the Lord leads.

May our Lord and savior be praised forever and ever, and may we be separated unto Him, by following Him, and Him alone apart from the worlds celebrations, parties, and liberal practices, and remember WE are not of this world, we and OF the kingdom of God, just passing through on our way to glory and peace, and eternity with our creator and Lord!

So we must put aside that which the world highly esteems, and all its evil traditions, and be a separate and peculiar people.

I am praying for you all that are standing in the gap, and walking the narrow path that leads to life, I am praying to meet a few who would accept me as their brother, as we serve our Lord in spirit and truth.

May the love of Christ fill you completely.

Love in Christ,

Tommy

Dec 25th is a pagan holiday you cant put Christ back into somethimg he was never apart of!

There are some people who do not share your conviction. Does this make them less of a Christian or not even a Christian at all?

Actually, isn't Valentine's Day, SAINT Valentine? Technically we could easily take that one over!

My kids are 21 and 17 and we always did Hallelujah Night at church. (2500 member congregation, so it worked well. Played games, got candy, won prizes, altar call.) When they got older and we switched them from Christian school to public school they ended up trick-or-treating for a few years. Honestly, to do it over, I would not have 'freaked' out as much as I did about the holiday. I absolutely hate Halloween, but really, I don't think we needed to be as strict as we were. They understood the origin of it and were strong in their faith in Jesus and enjoyed time with their friends.

Now we hand out candy at the door and the little kids in their costumes are adorable…or at least creative!

Great post! 🙂
