So Very Very True

 I received the following via e-mail this afternoon, and found everything said to be so very very true.

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 I-Pod whenever they drive."
To keep the TV, DVDs, 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!"

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Schedule important News Confrences and other "important" events during
worship services and bible study."
"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 & more rushed, going here & 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?
Assured Salvation and God's forgiveness are all that matters.

 I like your analogy of 'Busy'!
I once heard someone say "The devil drives, but the Lord leads",
so I think there is probably much truth in what you say.
