Are You
BUSY? Satan
called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil
angels, 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 churches, 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 (and wives/girlfriends/moms) 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 also 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 evil angels 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
