My friend sent this email to me and it is very INTERESTING!
ARE YOU TOO BUSY?
Satan called a worldwide convention.
In his opening address to his evil 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 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 demons.
Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" shouted his demons.
"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 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 home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays nonbiblical
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 so 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 emotions.
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 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 convention. The evil demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and move rushed, going here and there.
So, 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?
It was this day, 58 years ago (sorry mother, but you don't look a day over 38!) that the angels sang HALLLLLLLLLLLLELUJAH!
