The past three days I have been placing scripture that is to remind us of the First Commandment of both the Law of Moses, and if more importantly that which Our Lord Jesus emphasized, Love God with all your heart, mind, and spirit. Because during this month there is such great emphasis on the celebration of Halloween, the scriptures chosen  focus on sorcery, that which is used by God's enemy to undermine the Power and Influence God has in our lives. Magic, luck, or the focusing on darkness (the elements of death) are contrary to the best Our Loving Father has desired for us. The importance about this issue is that in many ways it has been made out to be not only acceptable, but harmless. What we do affects our spirit, as it affects the closeness we have towards God. I know the fun associated with it, and it's not about not having joy, but it is about keeping God where He deserves to be and allowing His favor to be with each and everyone of us, His Children. The following information was sent to me by a DS friend, and is appreciated because it illustrates why we need to be attentive to the things around us, and how it may impact our existence:WHY THE FOLDED BURIAL LINEN I had not seen this before. It is very interesting. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? The Gospel of John (20: 7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin. Is that important? You'd better believe it! Is that significant? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes! In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'. But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because the servant knew that the folded napkin meant, 'I'm not finished yet.' The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!' THe Lord's mercy and grace be upon all His Children, and His favor according to His Will... God bless you!
