I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

As a fan of bonfires, I confess that I do indeed use a fire starter at times. It’s a small block of wood that is treated just enough to burn long enough to start the rest of the wood on fire. In times of wind or dampness, it is a fire saver! Whether we know it or not, the Holy Spirit is our prayer starter. He is the initiator of our prayer life that should be reciprocal in nature, not a one-way monologue. As we are more and more aware of the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives, our prayer lives should become more and more intense and impactful!
