Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening
address he
said, "We can't keep people from going to pray." "We can't keep
them
from reading their holy Bible and knowing the truth." "We can't
even
keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their GOD."
"Once
they gain that connection with GOD, our power over them
is
broken."
"So let them go to their prayers; let them have their
covered dish
dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to
develop a
relationship with GOD.."
"This is what I want you to
do," said the devil: "Distract them from
gaining hold of their GOD 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-GOD music constantly."
"This will jam their minds and
break that union with God." "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. "
"That will
fragment their families quickly!" "Give them distractions
to distract them
from teaching their children the real meaning of
life."
"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 GOD."
"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 people
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 GOD 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?
After reading the message, I think the demons have been quite successful!
