BUSY?

Many years ago, I created the acronym BUSY-Being Under Satan's Yoke. I told many of it and wrote about it online. Now someone has written a marvelous explanation of how and why Satan is keeping us too busy. I wish I knew the author's name! I really love this one!




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, 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 & 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?

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to
create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring
about. The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get
even less than you settle for.
Thank you Dear Lord for giving me the chance to change my circumstances.

Amen

Hi Sheila,
I've received this a couple of times in my email...have you read Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis..a reminder that our adversary is brilliant and we need He Who is over all to conquer...have a blessed weekend..
Sita

Hi Sita, I love C.S. Lewis. Someday I will collect all his writings, and I might even someday figure out all the symbolism in his "Narnia" novel. He refused to give anyone rights to nake a movie about it, then I heard "Lord of the rings" is based on it, but they didn't follow Lewis' plot and intention, because Narnia is supposed to be based on Godly principles, but Lord of the Rings is not. Thanks for visiting my blog, Sita! Will visit yours now. Have a blessed long weekend,
Sheila

This is good. Very similar to CS Lewis 's Screwtape Letters.
