If I Were the Devil

If I Were the Devil
Reading this really makes you reflect on the current way things are in the world. Let's always keep Jesus in our decisions to help back against the devil.

------

If I were the Devil I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;

I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort, instead of God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership;

I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and invent machines to make it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;

I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a law suit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young;

I would get sports heroes to take on the job to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family, the backbone of any nation;

I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable.....If the family crumbles, so does the nation;

I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art;

I would try to convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically correct;

I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;

I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional;

I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are.

Paul Harvey.............Good Day.

Hi I am back and I want to share with you yet another story from the GodVine.com
It is so true how the children can open our eyes. Try reading the stories from the Godvine.com sometime I really think you will enjoy it. I know I learn a lot from my grandchildren It's when the little one get older that it is hard to understand them and vs-a- verse . Just try to keep your patients. Show lots of love and keep trying. I know I ask the Lord to show me or teach me patients everyday I will learn I am sure the Holy Spirit will show me.
While on the subject of the Holy Spirit try reading a book called "The Shack" By WM. Paul Young so good and thanks Godvine for passing on your news letters.And now the Story:







Beautiful Blessings:
One day a very wealthy father took his son to a very humble farm home. The father wanted the son to see and appreciate everything they have because the the son was never near poverty. The father decided to spend one day and one night with his son at this very humble home. On the next day after spending the night and returning to their beautiful mansion, the father wanted to hear his son's reaction towards the educating trip.

Father: So son what do you think about the trip. Did you see how poor people live?

Son: Yes, father.

Father: What do you think? What have you learn from this trip?

Son: I have learned that they have four dogs and we only have one. I have learned that we have a small garden and they have an entire forest. I have learned that we have a small stream on our back yard and they have a full river that has no end. I have learned that our back yard goes to the end of our property and they have an entire horizon. I have learned that we have lamps on our back yard to keep us from the dark and they have the stars.

The son continues his reply and said: Thank you father for showing me how poor we really are.



We sometimes don't realize the TRUE blessings we receive from our Heavenly Father because we're blinded by material things and what society deems to be worthy. Remember that true riches aren't what we have, it's Who we have. And we have Jesus. :)
