SATAN'S GRASP - BEING TOO BUSY

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're b u s y)
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," 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 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 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 CD whenever they drive." To keep the TV, CD's 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 promotional 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 church, 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 busier and more rushed, going here and there.
Having little time for their God or their families and friends.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.
I guess 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?

  1. I know this may sound strange, but for some reason as I read this, I started to hear the voice of Paul Harvey.....

  2. If your name isn't a dirty word in Hell that causes a rumbling to go forth, better do some inventory in your life for ANY idolatry.

    The Lord won't be setting up drinks and snacks to watch Super Bowl on Sunday. He won't be watching Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, or doing FaceBook before He makes His GRAND ARRIVAL with more fireworks than any halftime event could ever dream of.

    No, He's BUSY making you and I His WORK and HIS GLORY until THAT DAY when ALL BETS ARE OFF when the timer is up in the final quarter. So, if we're busy giving up hours of our lives that we can't get back immersed in social media, reality shows, smartphones/texting, sports shows, when we could've been reading HIS WORDS, PRAYING, BUILDING UP HIS KINGDOM, we deserve everything we get when HE COMES TO MAKE UP HIS JEWELS!

    This post from IRAQ should be heeded with fear and trembling. It was inspired and timely. Thank you for the wake up call.

    On a side note, I watched Ben Carson's prayer breakfast speech again that rocked Obama back this morning. WATCH at around 19:38 to 19:43. Dr. Carson boldly states that God is his role model. Look at the white guy sitting to his right. His reaction to Dr. Carson's statement is so astounding it looks like an evil spirit just jumped from his body! I had to replay it over and over. Crazy stuff!

  3. I heard the same thing. :) I'm pretty sure there's a Paul Harvey version of a story that references satan/devil.
