  10. HOW YOU THINK Halloween Do's • Look for teachable moments to relate the things of Halloween to spiritual truth. • Fear is glorified at Halloween: Jesus promised to give peace in the face of fear • "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful" (John 14:27)

  11. HOW YOU THINK Halloween Do's • "God's no-no list" in Deuteronomy 18 • Identify those things when they see them advertised or used as decorations. • Identify all the Halloween items that strike fear in them • Stand against their power by saying out loud, "God has not given me a spirit of fear!" (2 Timothy 1:7) • Pumpkin-carving object lesson

  12. SWORD OF THE SPIRIT • The spoken word of God • Matthew 4 • Fighting back! • Scriptures that stand against the lies and deceptions of the enemy • The name of Jesus • The blood of Jesus

  13. SWORD OF THE SPIRIT • "In every situation where you sense that you are under the attack of Satan or needing special protection, that is the time to plead the Blood. By so doing, you are reminding God that you are trusting in His mercy; you are reminding Satan that he cannot touch you as long as you are under the Blood; and you are reminding yourself of the ground of your confidence in Christ."
