Satan called a worldwide convention!
He paused. Everyone listened. "We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding experience in Christ. If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that experience in Jesus Christ. This is what I want you to do.
Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining a vital connection through their day!" "How shall we do this?" shouted his angels. "Simple, keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent unnumbered schemes to occupy their minds, " he answered. "Tempt them to spend and spend, then borrow and borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work and the husbands to work six or seven days a week, 10-12 hours per day so that they can afford their lifestyles.
Keep them from spending time with their children. Tell them they are doing it FOR their children. Ha, that one works well. As their family fragments, soon, their homes will offer no esape from the pressures of work."
Over stimulate thier minds so that they cannot hear THE still small vorce. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive, to keep the TV, the VCT and their CD's going constantly in their homes. And see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.
Fill their 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, sweepstakes, mail order catalogues, and every kind of newsletter and promtional offering, free products, service and false hopes. Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have their return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted and unprepared for the coming week.
Don't let them go out in nature. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts and movies instead. And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotion. Don't let them encourage or uplift each other. Keep those who are the gifted couragers, espicially busy and worn out. And above all when they get together keep them from praying for one another. Let them be involved in soul-winning. But crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family unity for the good of the cause."
It was quite a convention in the end. And the evil angels went eagerly to their assignments trying to cause Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there.
