My intentions today was to cover the history of the Day of the Dead (Dia del lost Muertos) or All Saints Day and All Souls Day. I started watching some videos on the history of these festivals until the Holy Spirit urged me, “You don’t want to go there.” In a nutshell, it’s all paganism. I already did the History of Halloween which started with All Saints Day, and I opted to take this in a different direction.
My reason for wanting to do a post on the Day of the Dead is that I live in Arizona. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican festival, though it’s origins go back to the Celts and Catholic adoptions of pagan rituals and beliefs. But then, God reminded me of a study I did in the YouVersion free Bible app called “The Secret Battle of Ideas about God” by Dr. Jeff Myers and one of its sections.
Today’s church — Christian and Catholic — has been infiltrated by the culture. James said…
Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.
James 4:4 NLT
And you don’t want to become an enemy of God.
Stopping Idea Viruses….
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
