Each day, satan and his evil forces have one battle plan. "As long as Christians stay close to God, we have no power over them," he says, "so here is our battle plan:"

- Keep them busy with non-essentials

- Tempt them to overspend and go into debt

- Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles

- Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's no refuge from work

- Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so they can't hear God speaking to them

- Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for Bible reading

- Flood their mailboxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-quick schemes - keep them chasing material things

- Put glamorous models on TV and magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearance - that way they'll be

dissatisfied with themselves and their mates

- Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy, that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere

- Emphasize Santa & the Easter Bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays

- Involve them in "good" causes so they won't have any time for "eternal" ones

- Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of

God's power working through them

"I promise you," satan says, "if we can accomplish these 12 things faithfully, I promise it'll work and they'll be ours."

Have you figured out the difference between being busy and being successful in what God has called you to do?

Sometimes being B-U-S-Y just means "Being Under Satan's Yoke." Break free.
 
Amen!!! I Stand with you in this Prayer. God wants us to move our level up to His. The world is taking from Our God and He needs His Children to stand Up for Him! Amen
 
Yes, you are very right. We should ask for the mind of Christ, to be able to know and discern the deceptive plans of the enemy. May God open eyes, and give us His wisdom and understanding. Amen.

A few years ago, while attending a grief support group, a pastor friend of mine was speaking to us and he brought up a wonderful analysis about judging how "true" our faith in God is. I ran across it in some old papers I was sorting through, and thought it was something that might "hit home"...

You say: "It's impossible" God says: "All things are possible" (Luke 18:27) Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." You say: "I'm too tired" God says: "I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28-30) Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you...
