The Dangers of Celebrating Halloween
A Word from Apostle Kimberly Daniels
Halloween — October 31 — is considered a holiday in the United States of America.
In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is.
Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing?
The word “holiday” means “holy day.” But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word of Halloween is “hallow,” which means “holy, consecrated and set apart for service.” If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy — Lucifer’s!
Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of : the Luciferian Spirit (the false father); the Antichrist Spirit (the false holy spirit); and the Spirit of Belial (the false son).
The key word in discussing Halloween is “dedicated.” It is dedicated to darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.
You may ask, “Doesn’t God have more power than the devil?” Yes, but He has given that power to us. If we do not walk in it, we will become the devil’s prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits.
During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
Even the colours of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated. These colours are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called “Mabon.”
During this season witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest. They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).
Mother earth is highly celebrated during the fall demonic harvest. Witches praise mother earth by bringing her fruits, nuts and herbs. Demons are loosed during these acts of worship.
When nice church folk lay out their pumpkins on the church lawn, fill their baskets with nuts and herbs, and fire up their bonfires, the demons get busy. They have no respect for the church grounds. They respect only the sacrifice and do not care if it comes from believers or non-believers.
Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.
The gods of harvest that the witches worship during their fall festivals are the Corn King and the Harvest Lord. The devil is too stupid to understand that Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest 365 days a year. But we cannot be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. When we pray, we bind the powers of the strong men that people involved in the occult worship.
Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms.
The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.
While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as “just harmless fun,” the vortexes of hell are releasing new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm).
Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door-to-door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.
The word “occult” means “secret.” The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:
- Sex with demons
- Orgies between animals and humans
- Animal and human sacrifices
- Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
- Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
- Revel nights
- Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
- Release of “time-released” curses against the innocent and the ignorant.
Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is necromancy, or communication with the dead. Séances and contacting spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of darkness lurking in the air.
However, Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and the exceeding greatness of God’s power in us (the same power that raised Christ from the dead).
It goes on to say that that Jesus is seated in heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus, the same demonic activity that is under His feet is under our feet, too!
People who worship the devil continue to attempt to lift him up. But he has already been cast out and down! Many are blinded to this fact, but the day will come when all will know he has been defeated once and for all.
When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm — and the Word says that God will spit us out of His mouth.
The problem with lukewarm is that it attempts to mix the things of the devil with the things of God. It is God’s desire that we serve Him alone.
Second Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, “And what agreement has Christ with Belial?” As believers, we need to answer that question in our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshipper.
There is no doubt in my heart that God is not calling us to replace fall festivals and Halloween activities; rather, He wants us to utterly destroy the deeds of this season.
If you or your family members have opened the door to any curses that are released during the demonic fall festivals, renounce them and repent. I already have. Then declare with me: “As for me and my house, we will serve The LORD!”

This article speaks the truth. Much demonic including ritual sacrifices go on around this time and Christians by unknowingly participating give further energy to the demons to continue in their evil. Also to comment on some of the comments seeming to say it’s okay that the holidays around this time began as Christian events to remember the dead and pray for them-someone please tell me where in the Bible it says to pray for the dead and their salvation? Or to constantly remember the deceased? This seems to me forbidden in the Bible. Once dead, there is no hope for salvation and constantly remembering the dead too much and wishing they were there again to talk to you is equivalent to summoning the dead, all of which is evil and unbiblical. Read your entire Bible, people! Stop participating in satanic things and return to a holy focus on the Lord!
No wonder the church in America is so powerless we believers are suppose to be full of the Spirit of the one true God.
And run is terror from Casper and a bunch of fairytales. Those who celebrate this holiday have no idea what you are talking about.
They are not saved and why would they want to be. When all you do is condemn everything they do with no solution no power and churches that for the most part are no different. Jesus Christ has come and now should be our life. And as he said when I come will I find faith on the earth? In America the answer is most have more faith in the power of demons and fairy tales then in what is truly written. He did not come to condemn the world but to save the lost. What is truly funny is most won’t celebrate Halloween but come Christmas time they will put baby Jesus back in a manger and pretend that he was born on December 25 and not some Roman God. Either be separate from the world and all its kooky holy days or not. These people do not know they are lost. And unfortunately neither does most of the church in this country.
As for me and my house we will serve the LORD.
Agreeing wholeheartedly my sister and I stand with you, as you stand for truth!
The “Holy Day” is not found in a calender but in your innermost mind, because the Holy Day(in God’s sight)is when the Lord rules ALL your thoughts and actions. This is THE only things a Christian should pay attention to.
Halloween as well as other horror in books and movies is a sign of human dubble Nature. One second she expresses sorrow when accidents of sudden death happens,the next second she find satisfaction and entertainment in horror and death. To “discern the spirits” is always about this,guarding your own mind by bindning your own thoughts to the Word.
Kids dressing up and getting candy is evil ok…….
Cast down your evil imaginations. They Create the evil IMAGINATION OF NO EXISTENT EVIL. EVIL WAS DEFEATED AND DOES NOT EXIST. YOUR IMAGINATION DOES it. Just like covid all fear is based in the mind. It is not tangable like a flood washing away homes or fire burning them down .Evil is in your minds ability to imagine bad instead; of focus on good mentality. Evil is invisible. Weak poor old evil can even function without you looking or thinking of it. So evil even only exists as all things are possible to them that believe. If your outs sight out of mind on any topic is not what is conscious attention focused on what you focus on you get so focus on good not bad and it multiplies the blessing. If you acknowledge evil and give it your time and mind yeah hen it could touch you. So Evil is your slave to leave hidden and unaknowledged un concerned unawareness of bad. Focus on Good then evil fades…
Amen to solid truth built upon God’s Word. Open their eyes Father God and show them Your Son. They are ignorant of the pure EVIL behind this pointless celebration of Helloween.
I never opened the door for the annual candy begging game, but only one time, and only for the reason to tell 4 kids, I can’t give them candies because JESUS is LORD and we do not play this worldly game. So sad to notice neighbourhood kids doing this pagan game year after year. My child was an “outlaw” because I did not allow him to attend this demonic game. Eggs thrown against our home wall was the response by those “Christians”. I think their parents knew what the kids had in their pockets for revenge. Thank you for this article, dear sister.
Marion it saddens me your child and yourself suffered this. I never allowed my child to participate even though one time his best friends mum asked if he wanted to trick or treat with them but understood the Christian reason for my refusal. My understanding of halloween time is to pray for all souls who have passed on and remember them. God Bless you and your child and family and well done for refusing to partake and trying to warn the children of the dangers xx
The word Halloween means All Hallow’s Eve that is the evening before All Hallows Day which was a sacred day for the early christian Church and still is for Catholic and Episcopal churches – like Christmas Eve only on All Hallows day it was a day set aside to pray for those in the family who had died throughout the year to ensure they would be in heaven with Jesus and to pray a prayer of thanks for the saints at the time .
I am a Christian and do not celebrate Halloween .. I think the Americans have taken it out of it s original concept …..originally it did not have a lot to do with witches .. that is something that has taken off in America ..
There is no need to celebrate it at all .
the day coincides with early Celtic new year’s Eve when it was believed that on the night an old woman came out and hammered on the earth to make it freeze over … which of course it did going into the northern hemisphere winter . It was of course only an old legend nothing more .
here in Australia we do not celebrate it at all and I am thankful for that .

Since celebrating an “All Hallows Eve” is not biblical, I believe it was actually a “Christianization” of an earlier pagan festival – as were Christmas (almost certainly not the time of the birth of Christ) and Easter (not to be conflated with the Passover). It would have emerged well after the Book of Acts, when the Church had lost its way, and that the present-day Halloween is a restoration in spirit, if not in detail, of an earlier paganism but without any of “Christian” trappings.
Thank you for setting 5he record straight. As you said, All Hallows Eve was originally preparation for All Hallows (Saints) Day, a holy day on the liturgical calendar. The next day is All Souls Day, another holy day set aside for prayer. That’s recently come to be celebrated as the Day of the Dead. Still another perversion of the sacred dressed up in hearts and flowers.
Everything is messed up here. The U.S. is in complete rebllion against God, and we suffer the consequences. What used to be known as holy is now evil, and what was evil is celebrated as good. Satanists and atheists reign unchecked.
On the other hand, denying origins of holidays, making up myths to demonize ancient Christian traditions and holy days, operating in pride, and arguing over everything does nothing to restore Kingdom living.
This nation needs a clean sweep in the hearts of people. The apostles did not fight against the pagan religions of their day. They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony about Jesus. May we do the same!
1 Corinthians 10:21
New King James Version (NKJV)
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.
Amen, Brother Brian! This passage of scripture hit me heavy. I am in total agreement with the Word of God!God bless you!️❤️
