Trick or Treat!

Ramesh C. Reddy
Pittsburgh Standard

Editors Note: As people celebrate Halloween, wanted people to know it is a trick not to realize the below facts and a treat to realize the below facts.

Trick not to realize

Love to see people in the fire, they call me the evil one

Once in my dominion there is no where to run

People turn to me for all kinds of fun

I don’t tell them the damage that can be done

I love to invite you all to my place called hell

Separated man and woman from God as they fell

When they listened to ideas I liked to tell

Now I am glad they are not well

For all eternity love to see them scream and yell

My favorite dish I like to serve is a virus called sin

In my clutches so glad no one can win

In your life I love to be in

You can join the rest of my kin

I have a way of invading the heart, soul, strength, and mind

My deadly virus has a way to keep you forever in a bind

When I fell from grace I took angels numbering one-third

I love to see people not following God’s Word

I specialize in offering lies as the truth

So in humans they can fully take root

Just as I tempted Adam & Eve to eat the fruit.

Cause my favorite event is called “Burn, baby Burn”

 I am the Fallen Angel Lucifer, people come to learn

As Satan, I love to see people burn and mourn

Only tremble when to the Savior Jesus Christ, people turn

 Treat to realize

Love to see you in my presence, I am the Holy One

I love you so much, for you I gave my only begotten Son

Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Being delivered from the deadly power of  sin’s strife

No matter what the sin virus has done

With my antidote, in life, you can victoriously run

My Son went to the cross to produce it

As His hands and feet ,with 3 nails, were pierced with

And his body, for you ,was bruised & broken by every hit 

Now for humanity His cleansing blood flowed bit by bit

He died and came back to life to save you from Hell’s pit

Heaven and Hell are real and it is no myth

In Heaven, at my Right Hand, my Son does sit

Jesus is His Name!

For your redemption, He came.

To save you from Hell’s flame

And to give your life a new aim

His antidote of blood can rescue you from sin’s deadly game

But you gotta a choice whether Satan or Jesus, you pick

Remember all of Satan’s ways are a trick

Jesus wants to deliver you from the sin that makes you so sick

Won’t you accept His free gift of Grace

Letting His Spirit help you overcome the virus you face?

His grace is what sets you free to win life’s race

Because of the antidote of blood shed to deliver you from sin’s ways

It is by grace you are saved through faith

Not of any works that you should boast, Jesus saith

You coming to me, Satan does hate

Because he is all evil to this date

Upon me He does not want you to wait

For He knows I can deliver you from Hell’s place

And set you on Heaven’s base

Come to me my child

No matter how your life has been wild

For I am gentle and mild

You, with love, joy, & peace I want to treat

And One day in Heaven personally greet

I want to receive you with the power of my love

And give you my Holy Spirit that came upon me like a dove

Sin separated you from me

But my blood was shed to set you free

So together we can once again be

Life with me you gotta experience and see

Though trials and tribulations come, I will be your Key

Whether you are a child, adult, or teen

No matter how your life has been

I want to take you by my side

In my presence, you can abide

For you I came back to life after I died

My love for you is so deep, high, and wide

You are special and precious in my sight

I want to help you in life with all my might

Helping you do what is right

To escape sin’s destructive bite

Now Satan’s ways you can fight

And come into the beautiful Light!

Amen!

Dear friend, will you accept the trick or will you accept the treat? The choice is yours. Each of us was separated from God because we all missed the mark. We messed up and became a prisoner to sin. What if you were to die tonight, would you know for sure where you would be? If God asks you why should I let you into Heaven, what would be your response? If your response is all the good that you have done, what about that one wrong thing you did? God in His Holiness cannot allow sin to enter his presence because this type of virus can be very contagious. What is the alternative? It would be to let you be in a place where people with that virus continue to reside: Hell. Then how can anyone be saved? It is Salvation through God’s grace offered to you and me through Christ’s cleansing blood and the power of His resurrection. When you claim the antidote, you will be covered with it. Now when God sees you, He will see Christ’s cleansing blood covering you and washing away all your sins. Because Christ washes away and forgives all your sins, you have entrance into Heaven. Isn’t that exciting? Don’t you want that my friend? You can know that you are saved and belong to the Holy One. If you want to receive God’s gift of Eternal life won’t you pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:

Dear Jesus, I am covered with this deadly virus known as sin. It infects my life so much and dictates how I live my life. As Sept 11 reminds me, none of us can be sure how long we will live. When I die I want to be with you in Heaven and need your help. I am so sorry for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins as I repent of my sins to you. I accept the antidote of your cleansing blood to wash away my sins. I confess with my mouth that you are Lord and believe in my heart that you were raised from the dead to give Eternal Life to those who turn to you. Please come into my heart and make my heart your home. Live in me Jesus and I will live for you and serve you the rest of the days of my life. Thank you Jesus. I acknowledge you as my Lord and Personal Savior. Please be my Lord and Personal  Savior. Fill me please with your Holy Spirit giving me new life. Thank you Jesus. I don’t know you well but I choose to get to know you more and more Lord. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for saving me. Please hear my prayers. Thank you Lord you have heard my prayers and answered me. On this Halloween day, I give my life to you and surrender all that I am to you. Help me live this life for you. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for loving me so much. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!
