Father God in the Name of Jesus
We come before you to give you thanks for all that you have done and all that you are going to do. We thank you for the gift of live and love. We bless you for the grace you have bestowed upon our marriage. We praise you for the joy given to us though the gift of love, family and a happy home. May you strengthen and help us to remain forever committed to our marriage vows as well as the vows we have made to you. May your grace allow us to treasure the experience of loving each other daily in our life together.
Give us a lasting, true and understanding love for each other. Fill us with the patience we need to live together in peace and harmony. Help us to trust one another and to be worthy of that trust. Grant us dear Lord the power that we need to demonstrate patience, respect, understanding, kindness, honesty and forgiveness daily. Allow us O’ Lord to always be there fore each other, to be shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen, a heart and mind to encourage, a comforter and protector of each other.
We ask now Lord that your Holy Spirit will lead and guide us through the trying times, and that we may be better and stronger as we live together to bring you glory. May our lives be a testimony of your love. May the love that brought us together grow with each passing day. May it bring us closer to each other and to you dear Lord. Grant us a long and fruitful life together in joy, and peace.
All these blessings we ask in your matchless son Jesus Name we pray.
Amen

SATAN'S MEETING:
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
savior."
"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 Chris t.." "This is what I want you u to do," said the devil :
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital
connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demon s 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 ever y store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music
constantly."
"This will jam their minds and break that union with Chris t."
"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 other s about the power of Jesus to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?< br>
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean :
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?
