I've just returned from being with a group of friends praying for our young people. Tonight, known as Halloween, a group of about 30 young people aged between 13 and 18 went around the various districts of our town Truth and Treating. Unlike most who do Trick or Treat, our young people instead of knocking and asking for a treat, actually give a treat with a Bible verse stuck on the wrapping - hence Truth and Treat. This, by the way, was their own idea!
This is their way of coming against Satan in the opposite spirit. A group of us met at church to pray for them while they were out. Others have a similar idea when children knock on their doors - they give a treat with a verse of truth.
Last year some young people from a neighbouring town came and joined our young people. This year, instead of coming here, they have gone around their own town doing Truth and Treat. We are praying that this will become bigger each year so that our town will be known not for 'Trick or Treat' and where children dress up as witches but will be recognised for 'Truth and Treat' where our children and young people are clothed with His Spirit. Why not suggest this in your church and your town for next year? Let the body of Christ rise up and declare the truth of His word.
