Satan called a
worldwide convention. In his opening address to his demons,
he said, "We can't keep the 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, abiding
relationship experience in Christ. If
they gain that connection with Jesus,
our power over them is broken.
So let them go to their church, let
them have their conservative lifestyles,
but steal their time, so they can't
gain that relationship with Jesus Christ.
This is what I want you to do, angels.
Distract them from gaining hold of
their Savior and maintaining that vital
connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" shouted his
angels. "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 a week, 10-12 hours a day, so
they can afford their empty lifestyles.
Keep them from spending time with their
children. As their family fragments,
soon, their home 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 homes. 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 table 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 catalogues, sweepstakes, and every
kind of newsletter and promotional
offering free products, services, and
false hopes. Keep skinny, beautiful
models on the magazines so the husbands
will believe that external beauty is
what's important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. Ha!
That will fragment those families
quickly!"
"Even in their recreation, let them
be excessive. Have them return from their
recreation exhausted, disquieted, and
unprepared for the coming week. Don't
let them go out in nature to reflect on
God's wonders. Send them to amusement
parks, sporting events, 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 and
unsettled emotion."
"Go ahead, let them be involved in
soul winning. But crowd their lives with
so many good causes they have no time
to seek power from Christ. 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 convention. And the
demons went eagerly to their
assignments causing Christians
everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and to rush
here and there.
I guess the question is: has the
devil been successful at his scheme? You be
the judge! Friends, this message was
sent to me by someone who cares and I
thought I could share it with you.
Please take heed of the message it brings:
B - Being
U - Under
S - Satan's
Y - Yoke
