Should Christians participate in Halloween? According to Jenn Nizza, a former psychic medium turned Christian, the answer is no.
Jesus saved Nizza from a life of darkness at the age of 37. Nizza shared with ChurchLeaders about how she had lived in the darkness of the occult since she was young, practicing various New Age demonic practices that she believed where innocent. She was led to believe she had a gift.
Now Nizza dedicates her life to sharing the gospel and exposing the dangers of the demonic world of which she was once a part. She warns people, especially Christians, of a dark world most people will never realize they’ve innocently celebrated.
ChurchLeaders spoke with Nizza about the spiritual dangers behind Halloween and the normalization of the occult in culture. Nizza shared how she once believed she was communicating with the dead but later realized she had been deceived by demonic forces.
Nizza urged Christians not to participate in Halloween, and she described the ghoulish holiday as a tool of the Satan, who is using it to desensitize believers and disguise darkness as light. Nizza also discussed the lack of teaching on spiritual warfare in many churches and stressed the importance of knowing Scripture and putting on the full armor of God.
Nizza shared about her upcoming short film project—based on her life story—to expose the truth about psychic mediumship and point viewers to the hope found only in Jesus Christ.
“I would warn people not to participate in Halloween, and I’m saying that as gently as I can,” Nizza told ChurchLeaders. “And I appreciate you mentioning the fact that myself, along with other former witches and psychics, we have seen things that your average person is not going to see.”
“Halloween is going to do exactly what the enemy does with every one of his other tactics—present as light sometimes,” she said. “Not the whole thing, because we know the creepy parts of it.”
“But then,” she added, “the Christian’s looking at the part that seems harmless—’Hey, it’s just dressing little Joey up in a Power Ranger outfit or a biblical character, going around the community and taking candy.’”
“But,” Nizza continued, “when you think about ‘trick or treat,’ it goes back to, ‘If you don’t give me candy, then I’m going to play a trick on you.’ The enemy presents it as no big deal. But what’s behind that?”
