Being Busy

For all the busy people in the world.

*SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy. Very well written.)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

"We can't keep people from going to pray."

"We can't keep them from reading their holy books and knowing the
truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with
their
GOD."

"Once they gain that connection with GOD, our power over them is
broken."

"So let them go to their prayers; let them have their covered dish
dinners,

BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a
relationship
with GOD.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their GOD 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 cassette player whenever they
drive." To
keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home
and see
to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-GOD
music
constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with God."

"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."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them disattractions to distract them from teaching their
children the
real meaning of life."

"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 GOD."

"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 people
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 GOD 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?
Is this what is happenning to us??

Hopefully we are stronger than that.
