“Satan’s Worst Nightmare” – Preview

Uncategorized 1 Minute

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.      Psalm 118:24

As my readers and fellow bloggers, I want you to be among the first to get a preview of my newly released book, Satan’s Worst Nightmare. This excerpt describes how the inspiration first hit for a multimedia production depicting the Resurrection of Jesus – on Halloween Night! The rest of the book is about the outreach, following its gradual transition from a little skit to a full-blown production. The story includes the trials and tribulations, answered prayers, lessons learned, and the faithfulness of God as He took a handful of “nobodies” and used them for His glory.

                                                                        The “AHA!” Moment

One October day, when Joanna and Ben were too old to trick-or-treat, and Kelly, our third child, was still a tiny tot, I was driving to the home of Kelly Tucker, my prayer partner, for a prayer walk, and something got on my last nerve…

As I made the trip from Port Huron to St. Clair, everywhere I looked there were symbols of death – tombstones, skeletons half buried in the ground, mummies, fake corpses hanging from trees, and of course the ever-present “Grim Reaper,” all draped in cobwebs, (My house has enough of those, thank you.) as well as creeping spiders, rats, and other vermin.

As Kelly opened the door, I blurted, “If Christians celebrated life half as much as the world celebrates death, we could really make an impact!”

I don’t think Kelly had any idea what I meant by “celebrating life” – I certainly didn’t. But she caught the fire in my eyes and the passion in my voice and declared,

“Let’s do it! We can use my yard.”

 

… and the rest, as they say, is history. 😉

Prayer: LORD, we know that You are the Creator, the Source of everything good. Thank You for giving us inspiration and letting us share the pleasure of creating. As we keep our eyes fixed on You, continue to fill us with the inspiration for fresh new ways to tell the world the greatest story ever told, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

I am a forgiven sinner and adopted child of God, seeking to see life from His perspective - as opposed to the world's flawed perspective - and living my life accordingly.

  1. I am happy that your book is coming to fruition. I feel the same way about the Oct. 31 day. A few years ago , our local hospital hung grotesque Halloween decorations all over, even above the emergency room doors.
    I complained to the lawyer for the hospital board. I threatened to organize the citizens and complain the the hospital was guilty of ” the intentional infliction of nervous shock” ( a legal term). The “decorations” were removed, and did not reappear. May the Lord continue to give us holy boldness as we work for him. God bless you. 🤗

  3. Congratulations on your upcoming book. I too get so disturbed by all the Halloween decorations and the willingness with which every so easily participates in it. Over here in Australia we are a bit more subdued than the US I guess. But our churches here started having ‘light parties’. Celebrating life and quite a few children attend.

    1. Hi Perth Girl, I had the impression that Australian government was getting a bit too socialistic and that the country on whole was more secular or moving toward paganism. Has there been some awaking overall there to the Lord and how twisted the man-made system has become in recent years? Let me know anything you like I hope you are better off there than I thought I know I’m sick and tired of the wicked ways of our Democrat party and some of the two-faced Republicans screwing the public over good! seek me out with any opinions or ideas you have! God Bless You and Yours!

  4. “Light parties”! I’ve never heard of those, but they sound great!

    P.S. We came up with the title “Satan’s Worst Nightmare” because as we were preparing for our first outreach (pointing to the Resurrection) I quipped, “Satan scares plenty of people – we’ll show what scares HIM.”

  5. The book info sounds exciting.
    The beginning definitely draws the reader in. Well done.
    Kelly sounds like a great friend that is ready for anything.
    What did you guys end up doing? Or did you just laugh it off?

  14. Congrats on your book, it sounds like it will be excellent!!
    I enjoy Halloween for the autumn celebration part but I’m not a fan of kids dressed up as zombies etc and front yards being turned into play graveyards…creepy!
    The refrigerator costume, I love that idea!!
    Great post Ann!
