JOSHUA TIME 955

Satan's Meeting:




> SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
>
> 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 saviour."
> "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 Saviour 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 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 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 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 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.
>
> 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?
>
> Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
> I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus.
>
> Do You Love Him?
>
> IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!
