Busy, Busy!
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 an ntimate, abiding relationship experience in Messiah.
This is what I tell you to do: Distract them from
gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection
throughout the day!
“How shall we do this,” shouted the demons?
“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 a 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! Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they drive.
Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot
hear that still small voice. Keep the VCR, TV, CD’s and their PC’s
going constantly in their homes. Let them become busy at doing nothing!
And see to it that every store, restaurant and business everywhere
plays non-biblical music constantly. This will preoccupy their minds
with messages of the flesh and
break that union with the Messiah. Fill the coffee table with magazines
and newspapers. Pound their minds for 24 hours a day. Invade their
driving moments with billboards. Flood their mail boxes with junk mail,
mail-order catalogues, sweepstakes and every kind of newsletter and
promotional offering free products, services, and false hope. Make
sexuality pervasive. Put sexy, beautiful models on the magazines so
husbands will lust after external beauty, and they will become
dissatisfied with their wives. Give them movies that portray a
luxurious gaudy, lustful lifestyle that does not actually exist. Keep
them too busy to go out in nature to reflect on Yahweh’s wonders. Give
them thrills at amusement parks, sporting vents, concerts and movies
instead.
KEEP THEM BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!
And when
they do not meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip, envy
or self-righteousness, so that they leave with troubled consciences.
This will restrict their conversations to shallow, vain, unimportant
topics. Go ahead, let them be involved in soul winning. But crowd their
lives with so many causes they have no time to seek power from the
Messiah. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing
their health and families for the cause. They will lose sight in how
important a human soul really is. IT WILL WORK, I TELL YOU, IT WILL
WORK! It was quite a convention. And the evil angels went eagerly about
their assignment of causing “Yahweh’s people” to be busy, busy, busy,
and to rush here and there. The evil angels even stole the Yahweh
ordained day of rest!
ASK
YOURSELF….Does this describe My family? WHO is glorified by my
lifestyle? Does Yahweh want my life to be DIFFERENT? Am I WILLING to do
what it takes to change?
