-
“We can’t keep Christians from going to
church”.
-
“We can 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 that 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, 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 that
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 of their savior by enticing them to play the
radio or CD whenever they drive” “To keep their Electrical gadgets 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
order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotion
offering free products, services, and false hopes”
-
Keep skinny beautiful models on magazines and TV so that their husbands will believe that outward beauty is
what’s important, and they will 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. If they need to, 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 that 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 recreations 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 with anything which
doesn’t have eternal significance and value.
-
And when they meet for spiritual
fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with a troubled conscience”
-
“Crowd their lives with so many “good
causes” so that 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 will work!” “It will work!”
It
was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their
assignment causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed going
here and there.
Having
little time for their families. Having no time to tell others about the power
of Jesus to change lives.
I
guess the question is this, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
You be the
judge!!!
Does BUSY mean:
B-eing U-nder S-atan’s Y-oke?
