“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” Revelation 9:20-21, KJV

Reasons For Plagues :
“Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD’S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.” Deuteronomy 11:16-17, KJV
“When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.” 1 Kings 8:35-40, KJV
It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The social networks are all full of undoubtedly thousands — perhaps millions? — of bogus user accounts. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t acquire a handful of new female followers, all of whom seem to suffer from the very same symptoms, and all of whom are looking for a serious relationship and a decent guy.
Yeah. Uh-huh. Right.
Let me guess. Your name is really Omar, and you live in Pakistan, Nigeria or India.
The month of Halloween has finally arrived,
When children dress like monsters and such,
But know that if you’re a servant of the Lord,
All Hallows Eve you shouldn’t dare to touch.
Now why would it even be wrong to celebrate,
In the world they claim it’s simply a night of fun,
But slaves of darkness esteem it as a holy day,
When vile, ungodly things are said to be done.
Steeped in the rites of the ancient Celtic religion,
Communion with the dead took place this night,
But the Scriptures make clear it’s forbidden to do,
In this our Father in Heaven doesn’t take delight.
Likewise head-hunting & even human sacrifices,
Were a core practice of Celtic life many years ago,
Druid priests were officiants of their pagan faith,
They were intellectuals who actually ran the show.
Lighting bonfires and wearing costumes & masks,
Were also a central part of the ancient celebration,
Children played pranks hoping to get food or coins,
But those people engaged in dangerous divination.
The Wiccans today celebrate the eve of Halloween,
To them it’s the most important festival of eight in all,
But to Wiccans the night is referred to as Samhain,
And they worship nature but to God never even call.
Yet worshipping the creation more than the Creator,
Is also strictly forbidden if one reads God’s holy book,
They made false gods out of what are really no gods,
While the true God of Heaven they actually forsook.
These are some reasons why Christians should reject,
And have nothing to do with this late October night,
The Bible warns us to flee from the works of darkness,
I hope that you will pray, and then do what is so right.
