In just a few days Halloween will be observed by many. There are many reasons to not like Halloween - greed, it's cultic history, it's occultic tendencies and it's promotion of overtly dangerous behavior to name just a few.
There are ways for Christians to turn this day from a day in which Satan gets glory to one in which God gets the glory. Anytime that happens its a good thing. We'll see some of these truths in a message I have entitled "Tricks or Treats".
I. TRICKS OF THE DEVIL
1. Doubt & Denial [Gn. 3:1-5]
2. Deceit & Desperation [Jn. 8:44, II Cor. 11:12-15, Rev. 12:12]
3. Defeat & Devouring [I Pet. 5:8-9]
II. TREATS OF GOD
1. His Unchangeableness (He is Immutable) [Jm. 1:17, Heb. 13:8]
2. His Graciousness [Heb. 2:9, Eph. 2:8-9]
3. His Liberalness [Jm. 1:5]
III. TRAITS OF THE TRUE BELIEVER [Eph. 6]
1. Fight Deception With truth [v. 10-14]
2. Fight Greed with the Gospel [v. 15]
3. Fight Fire with Fire (the Devil's fiery darts with God's Firepower) [v. 16-19, Rm. 10:17, Jer. 23:29, Rm. 12:20, Heb. 1:7, 12:29]
