Hi Doves,
I believe this was posted back in 2008.
I'm led to post it again.
The rapture is
indeed imminent!
Ola.
Satan's Tactics to Destroy
Believers
Satan called a worldwide convention. In his
opening
address to his evil angels, he said,
"We
can't keep the Christians from going to church. We can't
keep them from
reading their Bibles & knowing the
Truth. We can't even keep them from
conservative values.
But we can do something else. We can keep them from forming
an intimate, abiding experience in Christ. If they gain
that connection with
Jesus, our power over them is
broken."
"So let them go to church, let them have
their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they
can't gain
that experience in Jesus
Christ."
"This is what I want you to do, angels.
Distract them from gaining hold of their
Savior &
maintaining that vital connection throughout their
day!"
"How shall we do this?", shouted his
angels.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life
& invent un-numbered schemes to
occupy their minds",
he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then,
borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work
& the husbands to work
6 or 7 days a week, 10-12
hrs. a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep
them from spending time with their children. As their
family fragments, 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, the VCR, &
their CD's going constantly in their homes. And see to it
that every store & restaurant in the
world plays
music constantly. This will jam their minds & break that
union with
Christ. Fill their coffee tables with
magazines & newspapers. Pound their minds
with the
news 24 hrs. a day. Invade their driving moments with
billboards. Flood
their mailboxes with junk mail,
sweepstakes, mail order catalogues, & every kind
of
newsletter & promotional offering, free products,
services, & false hopes."
"Even in their
recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from
their
recreation exhausted, disquieted & unprepared
for the coming week. Don't let
them go out in nature.
Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts
&
movies instead. And when they meet for spiritual
fellowship, involve them in
gossip & small talk so
that
they leave with troubled consciences & unsettled
emotion."
"Let them be involved in soul-winning. But
crowd their lives with so many good
causes they have no
time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in
their own strength, sacrificing their health &
family unity for the good of the cause."
It was quite
a convention in the end.
And the evil angels went
eagerly to their assignments causing Christians
everywhere to get busy, busy, busy & rush here &
there.
Has the devil been successful at his scheme?
You be the
judge.
