SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
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," Satan confirmed.
"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken,"
Satan explained.
"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..." Satan advised.
"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." Satan endorsed.
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the
pressures of work!" Satan affirmed.
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small
voice..." Satan told them.
"Entice them to play the radio, cassette or CD player whenever they drive.
Persuade them to keep the TV, VCR, DVDs, 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," blasted Satan.
"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ," Satan said
with wicked glee.
"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..." Satan promped.
Give them nitpicking little health problems to deal with. Keep their minds
so focused on pain and inconvenience, that they forget to include God in
their plans, prayers or requests. And, eventually, they will forsake him
altogether. In this way their focus will turn from God to their own selfish
needs and problems. They'll be whiners and complainers, rather than praisers
and acknowledgers of God's promises," Satan said.
"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!" Satan sneered.
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to
look elsewhere. That will fragment their families quickly!" Satan evily
laughed.
"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," Satan insisted.
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from
their recreation exhausted," Satan plotted.
"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!" Satan's warped plan stated.
"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," Satan
snickered.
"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 the Lord 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 pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
Do You Love Him?
IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!

Therefore I will look unto the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation:
my God will hear me.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy:
when I fall, I shall arise;
when I sit in darkness,
the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Micah 7:7,8
