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 day!
"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...
