busy. Following content was received by me from one of my friend's on Whatsapp. Though it was a 'forwarded message', it had lots of meaning in it. Though it seemed another of those 'timepass' frequently received on Whatsapp it was not.
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said -
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said -
- "We can't keep People from going to
Holy places”
- "We can't keep them from reading their Holy Books and
knowing the truth."
- "We can't even keep them from
forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."
- "Once they gain that connection
with God 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 GOD."
"This is what I want you to
do," said the devil :-
1. "Distract them from gaining hold of
their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
2. "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
2. "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
3. "Keep them busy in the
non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their
minds," he answered.
4. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend,
and borrow, borrow, borrow."
5. "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."
6. "Keep them from spending time with
their children."
7. "As their families fragment, soon,
their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"
8. "Over-stimulate their minds so that
they cannot hear that still, small voice."
9. "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."
10. "This will jam their minds and
break that union with God."
11. "Fill the coffee tables with
magazines and newspapers."
12. "Pound their minds with the news 24
hours a day."
13. "Invade their driving moments with
billboards."
14. "Flood their mailboxes with junk
mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional
offering free products, services and false hopes.."
15. "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.”
16. "Keep the wives too tired to love
their husbands".
17. "That will fragment their families
quickly!"
18. "Give them Santa Claus to distract
them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."
19. "Give them an Easter bunny so they
won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."
20. "Even in their recreation, let them
be excessive."
21. "Have them return from their
recreation exhausted."
22. "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."
23. "Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
24. "And when they meet for spiritual
fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with
troubled consciences."
25. "Crowd their lives with so many
good causes they have no time to seek power from God."
"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 all people everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here
and there.
- Having little time for
their God or their families and friends.
- Having no time to tell
others about the power of God to change lives.
WHATEVER THEY DO NOT LET THEM SHARE THE GOSPEL WE WILL HAVE MORE
WORK TO DO IF THEY EVANGELIZE...
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his
schemes? You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing
U-nderS-atan's Y-oke?
Whatever is written above is absolutely true and all the facts mentioned in my opinion definitely do co-relate. But that does not mean that we completely leave the material world and take the so-called 'Sanyas'. It is certainly not needed neither advocated by the great saints. It is just that we need to define limits and priorities for everything in the life and learn to say "NO" to things we don't want or want to stop.

But there is a saviour to save us from Satan.... He is my Sadguru, my friend.... Dr. Aniruddha Joshi belovedly called Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu by millions.
(PS - No particular religion should be associated with the above extract. Here God means all pure forms and avatars of God and Satan indeed means Satan).
