SATAN'S STRATEGY

Copy-paste... a message from the NXTGen Yahoo group message board... (I just did a little editing on the last few statements)...


"A VERY TRUE ARTICLE. LET'S BE CAREFUL.
 
SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
 
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 saviour."
 
      "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 Saviour
      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-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!
 
      I don't think I know 10 people who wouldn't admit they love Jesus.
 
      Do You Love Him?
      IF YOU REALLY LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!"
