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, and
they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "
"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?
Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
Does this not make you think about all the things we do and don't do. I know it made me think cause before I read this I walked out my house yesterday and thanked GOD for a beautiful day and just being able to get up.God Bless!

Interesting. I really like this. It's so true. We fill every possible minute of every day with something to do and we lose our focus on God. We do get distracted a lot. He gave us that time, we should use it for Him.
