!!! To BUSY To !!!
Satan called a
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 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-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 emotional 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?
Jesus was never to busy for you!!!
He came to set you FREE so that you can
be free indeed!
