Most people in America associate the name Easter with the celebration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. God does not. Using the name Easter and the traditional practices such as an egg hunt and baskets (nests) of candy and rabbits are highly offensive to him. It is like slapping him in the face.
The name Easter comes from a demon fertility goddess named Ishtar. That's why people have eggs, baskets (which are nests), and bunny rabbits - all symbols of fertility. The rabbit is one of the most fertile animals there are. God made them that way to reproduce a lot because they are food for many larger animals.
God says...
What does that have to do with me sending Jesus to die for you? What does that have to do with his resurrection? Seriously, what are you doing? Whenever you use the name Easter you are honoring a demon and that demon is receiving that honor from you to herself. Is that how you honor me? Really? Why not abandon those practices and honor me with your lips as well as your heart. Speak instead of Jesus and his great sacrifice made for you. Rejoice in his resurrection and ascension into heaven for they both mean that there is a resurrection for you as well. I said in my word that the traditions of men nullify my power. Could this be one reason you do not see my power at work in your life and in your churches? If you do not honor me correctly I do not honor you with my presence and power. I have overlooked your folly in this matter due to your ignorance, but it is time to grow up into the truth. After all I also said, 'But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.' (John 4:22,23). Truth is equally important as the Spirit, you cannot have one without the other. Unfortunately when men translated the New Testament from Greek to English in 1611 they were more afraid of King James than they were afraid of me so they used the name "Easter" in Acts 12:4 instead of what I said which is "Passover". I forgive them, but enough is enough. Jesus is your Passover which means the angel of death passes over you because of his blood shed for your sins and if you have believed in him then you are belong to me, not someone else named Easter, so act like it. Begin today to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus not fertility. That's the way of the world. Change the words you speak and do not use the name Easter anymore in your celebrations and bulletins - STOP IT! I love you. Now love me back.
