Paranormal Activity

A day of rejoicing, a day of appreciating the gifts that God has given us.

A day to come together and fellowship in the presence of the Lord, amen?

So as we jump into this message we're gonna be needing to pray and ask that God's angels would be here in a very special way.

The name of the sermon is called Paranormal Activity, and this is not about women.

I know a couple weeks ago I preached about godly men, and there was a huge demand to preach about women.

And so if you thought that when you saw this sign, he must be talking about women.

We're going to be talking about something else.

Perhaps in the future, we're going to address this issue, what the Bible says about godly women.

And folks, we need to know what God's will is, especially for these times.

In writing this sermon, I was thinking about Halloween.

Now, if you mention that word in some Adventist circles, you could be stoned.

I just want to give you a bit of advice when it comes to Halloween.

There's multiple ways in which you can deal with Halloween.

The first is do what some people do, and that is, They decide to take a trip to Lake Tahoe during that day.

And so they need to show that they don't participate in Halloween.

And so by not answering the door and letting everybody know you're not home, you're a witness for Christ.

Is that you, when little kids come to your door, dressed like little vampires and little demons, you can decide at that very moment whether or not you're going to be a Christian.

You know how you can decide whether or not you're going to be a Christian?

So, this is my recommendation for those who are going to stay at home.

Go to the local, the nearest Trader Joe's and buy the healthiest candy that you can buy.

Fine, you buy it, You pay the extra 3 dollars and you buy the most healthiest candy you can find.

This is going to take probably a couple hours to prepare.

And that when little kids come to your door and say, trick or treat, you say, well, I'm so glad that you're here, and just drop off that piece of candy there.

If you're somebody who is very bent on taking your kids trick-or-treating, I want to recommend that you do something productive.

You don't dress up your kids like a ghoulish monster or a vampire or a ghost.

You dress them up like you can be a shepherd or a little sheep or John the Baptist or something like that.

And you go out, and instead of collecting candy, collect cans for the needy.

A few years ago, we took the kids out, and we did that.

We couldn't find any costumes, so we went into the youth room, or the children's room, we found these shepherd's clothes, and so I dressed up like a shepherd, I carried this giant fuzzy sheep, and my friend Godfrey, the pastor of the Modesto Central at that time, he dressed as a shepherd, and some of the kids dressed in robes, and we went door to door and we were asking people when they said, all right, ready for some candy?

We said, no, actually we're here to collect some cans.

And then they walk away and come back with a can of peas.

And then you know what's really interesting?

And we tell them, well, we're collecting cans because we believe Jesus wants us to help out the needy.

You can completely ignore the situations around us, or you can try to make a good thing come out of something bad.

You know, I'm sure somebody will send me an email later today.

So why don't we begin with the word of prayer and let's ask Jesus to be here in a very special way.

I'll tell you this, what we're gonna be talking about this morning is going to be something that we're really going to need the angels of God.

You know Ellen White says, unless the angels of God come and push Satan back, this message cannot come out with power.

Obviously we're going to be talking about spiritualism here, but it's very important that our hearts and minds are in tune with what the Spirit is trying to communicate to us.

So let's bow our heads, I'm going to give you a word of silence, And I want you to pray and say, Jesus, we want your angels to be here.

We know that your angels are already with us, and Lord, we pray you would send more.

God, we know that unless Satan is pushed back, We cannot understand what you're trying to communicate to us about the future and why this message is extremely important, especially around these times.

Jesus, we pray and ask for wisdom, clarity, understanding.

Lord, especially do we pray for the Holy Spirit.

We want to lay aside all our offenses, lay aside all the things that bug us and annoy us, and Jesus, right now we want to pray for the sweet Spirit of God.

The name of the sermon is called Paranormal Activity.

And the name of this scary story is called the Fox Sisters.

The name of the scary story is called the Fox Sisters.

There was a city by the name of Hyderville located in New York.

But around the 1800s, there was this family, the Fox family.

And these 3 daughters, they lived in 1 room while the parents lived in another room.

They lived out in a nice country shack that was located into the country.

And so you can imagine these 3 girls were oftentimes playmates of each other.

And so while the father was away at work, these girls would begin to be curious with all sorts of things.

And they began to do all sorts of unusual things.

They started to hear a weird sound and it was coming from underneath the house and it sounded like this.

Well, they got up and they raced over to their mom and their dad, and they said, hey, something's up.

So we're hearing this strange, unusual sound.
