Satan's Meeting for the BUSY

" God never closes a door without opening a window.
He always gives us something better when he takes something away."

This is deep, guys! It made me think about the way I live my life and
what my priorities are.

This may be a repeat for some of you...but, some things need repeating.

Subject: 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 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 nonessentials 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
till, 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 more busy 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 at his scheme?
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!


God Bless!!!
