Satan's Meeting

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

"We
can't keep Christians from going to church. We can't keep them from
reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them
from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour. Once they
gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So let
them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners,
BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship
with Jesus Christ..."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"DISTRACT THEM FROM GAINING HOLD OF THEIR SAVIOUR AND MAINTAINING THAT VITAL CONNECTION THROUGHOUT THEIR DAY!

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."

"Persuade
the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7
days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty
lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive."

"To
keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and
see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays
non-biblical music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood
their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and
every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products,
services and false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on
the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty
is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives.
"

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep
them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send
them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies
instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they
meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so
that they leave with troubled consciences. "

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work! It will work!"

It
was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and
there.
Having little time for their God or their families... Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives...

...I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge...

Does "BUSY" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

Please share this with the others, if you aren't too BUSY!
