I Stood in Agreement with your Powerful Prayer, but my Spirit is Longing to Pray it Aloud, so I'll Do that Now, in our Jesus' Holy Name. Thank you, my Precious Sister, for Pinging me Here, that I may Partake of this Privilege and this Blessing.

I Used to Worry Off and On All through Every October, because my Sweet Friend, the Fang-Face, was Black, and I Always Breathed a Sigh of Relief when October Passed.
Your Loved Ones are in my Thoughts and Prayers, SoldierDad. Our Lord be with them in a Powerful Way.
Thank you Kitty, and God Bless.
Testimony:
One Halloween night driving down State Street in Montpelier, VT, past the Capitol, I saw a very strange sight. I could not at first believe my eyes, and it was only after a second look that I comprehended what I was seeing.
It was an almost pitch-black night, so the black-robed walkers on the green in front of the Capitol were hard to make out at all. They were walking around in unornamented black cloaks, hooded, heads bowed; there may have been 20 or more, all about 4 feet apart from one another, perhaps to cover the whole ground, walking slowly, each in their 4-foot circles. They looked like very large crows. To tell you the truth I was shocked, but in a flash of insight given it was clearly evident to me what was happening, and it was not Good.
These were pagans, Wiccans, witches, perhaps even demon-possessed persons, and they were enacting a ritual and conducting a form of prayer. It was my first experience of the liturgy of the spirit of darkness and those who (wittingly or unwittingly) serve demons. They have their powers and their prayers, too. We are in a very real war, and spiritual warfare is conducted all the time in every place - in some places (Vermont, for instance, IMO) more than in others.
Prayer:
Thank You, Spirit of the Living God, for working through Dolly and her post to remind me of what is actually at stake, and what is actually taking place during Halloween. Because You Are God, the Only True God, and because You hear us in the Savior Jesus Christ, by Whose Blood we are cleansed and justified and brought in white robes into Your Presence, with thanksgiving - Yes! Thanksgiving every day! - I come, and we come, to intercede, for we know that Jesus Christ is seated at Your Right Hand in the Heavenlies, and we with Him (though we do not see it now, we believe and are filled with glory inexpressible!) and we, we, LORD and True Master and REAL coming King, we are Your Body on the earth, and in Your Spirit we pray - as You have written in Your Word: We have the Mind of Christ!
Therefore, Good Father, we ask for Thy Covering to come upon us and all our loved ones, upon our children in our streets and upon our pets; we ask Your Hovering Protection and Wall of Holy Fire to surround and uphold and light the way of and surround and encompass and withstand on behalf of our loved ones, for Halloween and for these days and nights leading up to that specific night. We know, for Jesus has testified, that night is the time of the evil one, for Jesus said so in the Garden when they came for Him with the betrayer.
Lord, we pray for our enemies, the enemies of God and His Light, that You will send messengers and workers of Your Harvest, Ambassadors of Your Kingdom, to preach the Good News of Salvation in Christ Jesus to these who are bound in chains to the prince of darkness. Set the prisoners free, dear Lord! We pray against the lies of the evil one: that these would no longer believe the lie of "good witches" or "good magic" for the truth is that You Alone Are Good and You have commanded against these things - witches and witchcraft and sorcerers and seances and future-telling and all doctrines of demons!
We pray against the lie that such things as Halloween with all its customs are "harmless" for man is harmed by believing lies, and man is harmed by serving any save Thee. We do not serve demons, not even unfallen angels: We serve Thee, by Thy Good Will and Counsel, by faith, and so we know Your Blessing, and entreat Thee to deliver these others, especially the children, from the Deceiver and from Demons. Bring these into the Kingdom of the Son of Your Love, our Father.
Teach us, Lord, how to best serve these as they come out of darkness into light! Grant us from Your Storehouse heavenly answers to earthly questions! Grant us Wisdom from above: First pure, then peaceable, full of mercy and good fruit.
We take a stand here, Your Children of Light, robed in white and circling Your Throne, in the Name above every name, serving the King of kings, worshiping the Lord of lords, and taking captive every thought into the obedience to Christ Jesus, and tearing down the strongholds of the enemy of men's souls by the weapons of our warfare which You have granted us. We know that Thou dost hear our praises and our petitions, and we give Thee thanks and glory - Thy Kingdom Come! Amen.

Dear One, I've also been contemplating not only a personal time of fasting and prayer for the upcoming elections, but a thread for such, for state by state testimony and intercession, for specific races and persons and legislation (South Dakota and Missouri come to mind). Please advise via FReepmail after prayer?
