Busy, Busy, Busy

How Busy is TOO Busy? - Shout It Out Design

Busy stands for “Being Under Satan’s Yoke”

Imagine Satan is addressing a convention of demons and promising them victory in believers lives if they do 12 things.

While a specific list of 12 instructions from Satan to his demons isn’t explicitly found in the Bible, the general themes of Satan’s strategies to hinder people’s relationship with God are well-documented. These include temptation, lies and deception, distraction, discouragement, and using people against others. 

1) Keep them busy with non essentials

2) Tempt them to spend and to go into debt

3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles

4) Discourage them from spending family time for when homes disintegrate there is no refuge from work.

5) Over stimulate their minds with computers, TV so they can’t hear God speaking to them

6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with magazines and newspapers so they have no time to read the bible

7) Flood their mailbox with sweepstakes and get rich schemes so they keep chasing material things.

8) Put glamorous models on TV and magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances that way they will be dissatisfied with themselves and dissatisfied with their mates.

9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy, that way they’ll be tempted to look elsewhere

10) Emphasize Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny that way you will divert them from the real meaning of the holidays

11) Involve them in good causes so they won’t have time for eternal causes

12) Make them self sufficient, keep them busy working in their own strength so they will never know the joy of God’s power working through them.
