Satan's Meeting

I don't normally do this but this was too good not to share. It's something to think about it..Here's a pass it along email that I received..Thanks brother Sean.

Satan's Meeting


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!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them
from teaching their children the
real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so 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 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 and more rushed, going
here and 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?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!

My God is Faithful!

My God is Faithful!
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
