Abba: "The Visitors"

What a song this is. People with anxiety sure relate to the fear of somebody at their door. I certainly feel anxious at Halloween as I don't want to promote evil through celebrating it.

Listen to this song here.

Halloween, for many, is just for fun. But spiritism is a dangerous thing to mess with. As Isaiah 8:19 (Bible in Basic English) reminds us, "And when they say to you, 'Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds;' is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?"

We ought to pray for the salvation of such deluded people who want to lead us astray. Look at what Proverbs 28:10 (BBE) says about their fait. "Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage."

xFurthermore, it's for our protection that we mustn't play with wicked spirits through the Ouija board, tarot cards, and by visiting fortune tellers. As God told his people through Moses in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (BBE), "Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker, Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions. For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you."

But some folks will say that playing with the Ouija board is just a game. Oh? Look at Leviticus 19:31 (BBE). "Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God."

Let our visitors be those beloved siblings in Christ who follow him. We read this in 1 John 1:6 and 7 (BBE). "If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue: But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin."

If our beloved Master hasn't visited us by Monday, I hope to post about a science fiction song from a group not known for that genre of music.
