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 Savior.
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 Savior 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". Temp 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
break down, 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.
Get them 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 break down 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 Jesus' 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, and 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 Jesus 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
