This one hits me between the eyes.....how about you ?
.......The Malady of America.......

+++++++++++++++

 

 

Satan called a worldwide convention.
        In his opening address to his evil angels, 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 even keep them from  forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Christ.


We know if they gain that connection with Jesus,
our power over them is broken.


So,
I have a plan.......


let them go  to their churches;
let them have their conservative  lifestyles,
but......

 


steal.. their ..Time


Then they can't gain  that relationship with Jesus Christ.
...

Got it ?!

Ingenius....if I do say so myself !

......................................

 


This is what I  want you to do, angels.


       
Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior
and maintaining that vital connection throughout their da
y!

 

"How shall we do this?" shouted his  angels.


        Keep them Busy....


busy in the non essentials of life ...


and  invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds.


Tempt them to spend,
spend,
spend,
and  to 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!

 

"It might work !" chorused the evil angels.

 

 

Next......

    
    Over-stimulate their minds
so that they cannot hear the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly  in their home
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.

 

Put skinny, beautiful  models on the magazines
so the husbands will believe  that external beauty is what's important,
and  they'll become dissatisfied with their wives.

 

"Ha!!" shouted the evil angels.

 

Right..!!

That  will fragment those families quickly!

 

Then......

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!

 

"Keep them busy.....busy.......busy.......!!" chanted the excited angels.

 

Now........

when  they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in  gossip and small talk
Then they will leave with  troubled consciences and unsettled emotions.

 

 

"YES....!!" shouted the angels.l.

 

 

Go ahead....
let them be involved in soul winning.

 

 

"Noooo........" jeered the crowd.

 

 

BUT......!!


crowd  their lives with so many good causes
they have no  time to seek power from Jesus.

 

 

"Good....!!! the crowd exclaims.

 

 

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 will work....!"
the angels cheered as they paraded about,
carrying Satan on their shoulders.

 

 

 

+++++++++++++

Yes, it was quite a convention.

+++++++++++++

 


The  evil angels went eagerly to their assignments
  causing Christians everywhere to get
More Busy...


more rushed...


going here ...


going there...

|

THE END

 

 

+++++++++++++

Look about you, friend.....

Is it working ?
