SATAN'S 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."

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout that day."

"How shall we do this? his demons shouted.

1. Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable
schemes to occupy their minds.

2. Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.

3. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husband to
work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their
empty lifestyles.

4. Keep them from spending time with their children.

5. As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from
the pressures of work!

6. Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small
voice.

7. Entice them to play the radio or cassette and CD whenever they drive
and in their homes.

8. Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.

9. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.

10. Invade their driving moments with billboards.

11. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs,
sweepstakes, and every kind of news letter and promotional offering
free products, services and false hopes.

12. Keep 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.

13 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!

14. Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children
the real meaning of Christmas.

15. Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about Jesus' resurrection
and power over sin and death.

16. Keep them involved with recreation activities, and return from their
recreation activities exhausted, and tired so they can't go to church the
next morning.

17. Keep them so busy they can't go out in nature and reflect on God's
creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays,
concerts, and movies instead.

18. 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.

19. 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 causes.

"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. having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.
The question is...has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge.

Does BUSY mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?
