No Monsters by Jewels From The Word
Do you enjoy monster movies? Not me. I used to hide my face at the scariest scenes when I went to the movies with my husband, but now that we watch most of our movies at home, I just go in the other room and let him watch them alone. We now have 3 TVs in our house, so I can watch the news while cooking supper and watch what I want when he is watching some monster movie.
This is the time of year that thoughts turn to monsters. For some people, Halloween is their favorite time of year. They love to decorate their house with fall leaves and pumpkins, fake spider webs and black paper bats. They set out bowls of candy for the children who come trick-or-treating.
I always have candy to give out and delight in seeing the trick-or-treaters in their costumes. When my children were little, my sister and I spent hours making costumes---angels, Superman, Chew Baca from Star Wars, Indian maidens, but we never dressed our kids up as monsters.
Sometimes when my grandsons used to spend the night, I had to tell them, "There are no monsters at Mimi's house. No such things as monsters. No monsters under the bed, no monsters in the closet, and no monsters in the darkness."

There are no monsters, but there is evil, pure evil. Satan is evil and the father of evil. He is out to get you. He wants to "steal, kill, and destroy." (See John 10:10.)
There are evil spirits and evil people in the world, but not monsters. And I pray away those evil spirits and evil people, by the power of the Holy (good) Spirit and the Word of God. Satan is no match for the goodness and power of God.
"No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways." Psalms 91:10-11 KJV.
My angels are always watching over me.
