Satan's meeting for people praying for the unsaved

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 nonessentials 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.

Stimulate them 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 to read so that they have no time to read the Bible. 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 do 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 o­n 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 at his scheme? You be the judge!
