What better day to turn to Jesus and play a trick on satan than on Halloween in "sin city"!  Do you want to turn to Jesus today?  Jesus said, "whoever comes to me I will never drive away." - John 6:37.  Did you know that salvation and eternal life is a gift of grace from our loving God?  Whose side are you on currently, Jesus's or satan's?  Did you know that it is extremely common to be on satan's side and not even know it?  Has he tricked you?  Satan is the father of lies, but Jesus is the prince of peace and He is the Truth!  Jesus said "he who is not with me is against me" (see Luke 11:23 in your Bible).  Turn to God on Halloween and be on Jesus's side!  Don't spend eternity in hell with the devil and his demons.  Turn to the Lord and get saved!  He loves you so very much!

Accept an eternal treat on Halloween, one you will never, ever regret for all of eternity!  Do you want to get saved today? 

  1. Repent.  Admit that you are a sinner and turn away from sin.  "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." - John 8:11
  2. Believe (have faith) that when Jesus died on the cross He took the punishment for all your sin and He rose to life again to conquer death.  "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" - John 1:29
  3. Receive (ask) Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." - John 1:12

You can say a prayer from your heart to God, or a simple prayer like this one (it's only an example):

"Lord Jesus, thank you for showing me how much I need You.  Thank You for dying on the cross for me.  Please forgive all my failures and the sins of my past.  Make me clean and help me start fresh with You.  I now receive You into my life as my Lord and Savior.  Help me to love and serve You with all my heart.  Amen."

The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 that "if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." 

If you just got saved, know that there is much rejoicing right this moment in heaven among the angels of God, over your repentance (see Luke 15:10)!

Turn satan's dark day of Halloween into a new, bright, eternal beginning!   Don't forget to read a part of the Bible daily, to pray daily (talk to God as you would to a close friend) and join a local Las Vegas church
 

This Halloween, ditch the darkness and go to a Harvest Festival at a local Christian church!

This Halloween, why not dress you or your kids up in angel's wings and distribute gospels or scriptures to people who don't know God?
