SATAN'S BOARD
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 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.
"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 the still, small voice of Jesus. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." The
idea is 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. And then do the same with hot buff well built and attractive men so the women are inflamed with lust and
neglect their husbands.”
"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 who lays eggs 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. Now the
Saints having little time for their God or their families, and 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 to you:
B-eing
