The Truth About Halloween - Episode 353

put if you have a house for example you could put a a basket or something with the books and or just the flyers for that this is something that wouldn't cost really anything it's just to put the flyers for example um you could even put like a care package if you wanted uh but um that's an example you know like it's important because for one we don't want to like show up to the devil's party but also it's important for people to see that we are set apart that's how we will be so full of a light that will be such a powerful light that will lead others to jesus as when we're fully set apart not when we're um lukewarm so like for example okay i want to give an example when people go to a bar they are entering the devil's territory where they have Willingly said, I want to go and get drunk.

Do many people go come with more other carnal intentions like.

Get attention from the opposite sex.

do sexual things and like, that's the intention usually of people going to like a bar, a club.

Um, they're going there for that reason.

And so for the most part, it wouldn't be setting yourself apart to go into the bar or club to like evangelize.

The better way usually, if God's calling you to evangelize to those people is to be outside, the club or bar and share the love of God.

Now, God can move outside of the box and there could be some instances that would be more rare and someone perhaps with such an evangelist calling perhaps to go in the bar and say, God sent me here to tell you he loves you.

There can be an instance like that, but by and large, because that is the devil's territory where people are willingly wanting to go and engage in darkness, that would not be, by and large, the best way to shine your light so that people can see you're really set apart.

For example, most people, you know, if they're going to a bar, there's other ways to reach them.

Like, let's say that there's someone in... someone in your workplace, you know, invites you to the bar, it would be better, you can be a light to them in the workplace.

Rather than thinking, I must go to the bar with them to be a light.

No, you can be the light to them in the workplace.

You see? So that's how we can really show we are set apart.

And this is the way, this is the good way.

It's to be totally set apart, not lukewarm because many people, when they go, you know, many people can go being the, trying to be the light in the darkness, but there's a, there's a hint of lukewarmness where they like, it's like them telling themselves it's okay to go to these places because I'm going to talk about God.

So like, I would say by and large, that's, People that are spreading the lights in those dark places, by and large, not everyone, but by and large, that's like the motive.

And so when that's the motive, you're not being set apart.

So yes, you can plant seeds.

You can plant seeds, but you're not being the most powerful light that God is calling you to be.

You're not planting the amount of seeds you will be able to plant if you are full of light, void of no darkness, making sure your eyes are always healthy.

And being set apart and not conformed to this world.

Amen.

So that's how it is for Halloween.

That's how it is for Halloween.
