RSSVERIFY Biblical messages by Cicily Sunny, New York, USA.
Jesus said to the disciples, ”Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature,” (Mark 16:15). Without motivation from the heart no one can do this great job. Only after having an encounter with Jesus in 1995 I got the desire to know God more through the Bible and through the writings and messages of other people who have experienced God. I got the motivation to share with others about my experience, the wonders God has done in the lives of people as narrated in the Bible, the hope of eternal bliss with God, the hard fight we have to do with the devil in this world to obtain that eternal heaven, the need to be thorough with the message of God in the Bible, to establish a relationship with God, to prioritize God in our lives, and to spend time in matters regarding God. Just being a Christian does not mean that all these things happen automatically. We have to caution ourselves every minute of our life against our enemy, who is constantly busy in polluting the minds of people until our heart is fully with him and escape will seem very minimum. “Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1st Peter 5:8). The Holy Spirit is in our midst for those who seek Him. Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you” (Matthew 7:7). When I seriously asked God for help, He talked to me right away. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). When you try to know God more, more will be revealed to you. Listening to Biblical messages may seem boring, but its effect is miraculous. “Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is herd comes through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). According to my convictions, knowing who God is, what God had done in the lives of people in the past, how God is working in the lives of people now, how we can make a good friendship with God, how we can unite with God again physically and spiritually will straighten our spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing forever. The Bible is the perfect source for this. Everything said above is connected to my life also.

Is Halloween for Christians?/ഹാലോവീൻ ക്രിസ്ത്യാനികൾക്കോ? (English & Malayalam)
Deuteronomy 18:9 – “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations.” Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 11:03 mark.
Leviticus 18:3, 4 – “You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes. You are to perform My judgments and keep my statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the Lord your God.”
Halloween is one of the world’s biggest holidays, especially in the United States. The Halloween ritual has a pagan origin. It dates back more than 2,000 years to Ireland. An ancient Celtic fire festival called Samhain was celebrated usually from 31st October to 1st November at the end of summer. It was focused on fire as winter approached and to bring light into the darkness. People knew that there would be lots of deaths of animals and humans during the harsh winter months. It was the time of the Celtic new year, a time of death and rebirth. Costumes and ugly masks were worn to scare away malevolent spirits believed to have been set free from the realm of the dead. Celtic pagans lit one giant bonfire in the village, danced around and acted out stories of death, regeneration and survival. Animals and crops were burned as sacrifices to Celtic deities. How the Catholic church influenced the Anglo-Saxons of Britain in the 6th and 13th centuries and how the All Saints Day and All Souls Day started in the Catholic church soon after Halloween are discussed.
