Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder

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!!!!!
