A New Beginning

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31 st and has a very dark, spiritual history. It was influenced by the traditional ancient Celtic festival of Samhain; where it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. It also marked the end of summer, the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death; a day deeply linked to ghost and superstitions. The Celts believed they could commune with the dead more easily on this day, therefore they would light bonfires and wear costumes typically made of animal heads to ward off the evil, harmful spirits. From the late 15 th century, people began wearing demonic outfits to represent winter spirts or demons. Individuals would mainly dress up as witches or the devil for Halloween. Witches use magic or supernatural powers to harm others and the Bible tells us that we should not be among those who engage in witchcraft, cast spells or consult the dead (Deuteron...

​ I have been wanting to write a blog on the quote: “God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers” for some time, but didn’t quite know how to go about it. However, it is something that has been playing on my mind, so it’s time I wrote my thoughts on it.   So what does it mean for God to give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers? This quote illustrates that God specifically chooses people to endure a struggle that is worse than someone else’s because he knows those particular individuals will be able to handle it.

It tells us in Galatians 6:4 ‘Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pri...

It has been a few months since I have written a blog, however, I am back with a new one to remind you all, that God is always with you! Regardless of your situation, regardless of your circumstances; God is always present! It states in (Hebrews 13:5) that God will never leave you, nor forsake you. There may be times in your life, you feel as though God is not there, but you have to trust, believe and have faith that he is there and he is working things out for you! It’s all working for you good. It’s all working in your favour! We know this because in (Romans 8:28) it states; ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.’ God is merciful, God is gracious. He knows what he is doing, he is all knowing. He knows your purpose, he knows you more than you know yourself, before you was even formed in your mothers womb. (Jeremiah 1:5). God knows every step you have taken and every step you will take. He will n...
