Satan’s Plan Satan Demon # 1 Demon # 2 Demon # 3 Setting – A board room in Hell. Satan has called a meeting with his three top demons…. (Lights Down) SATAN: Okay guys, here’s the deal. We can’t keep these 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 Je... (staggers and stutters)….Je….(staggers and stutter some more)…with their “savior”. DEMON 2: It almost hurts to say his name doesn’t it boss? He’s got us beat. SATAN: Don’t you ever admit defeat like that!! If I ever hear you talk like that again, I’ll cast you into the abyss myself!! DEMON 2: Sorry boss. What’s your plan? SATAN: Like I was saying…we can’t keep them from forming that intimate relationship with HIM. Once they’ve gained that connection with Je….ahem…HIM…our power over them is gone. DEMON 1: Well it sounds like a losing battle to me boss! What can we do? SATAN: I’ll tell you what you do. Let them go to their churches. Let them have their covered dish dinners. Let them have their little study groups on Wednesday nights. We’re just going to do one thing different. DEMONS: What!!?? SATAN: We’re going to steal their time. If we steal their time, they won’t be able to develop that relationship with HIM. (Demon 1 and Demon 2 start nodding their heads like they understand. They seem to like the plan) DEMON 3: (Kinda stupidly) I don’t get it. SATAN: Listen, here’s what ya’ do. Distract them from gaining hold of their “Savior” and maintaining that vital connection throughout the day. DEMON 3: How? SATAN: It’s easy. Keep them busy with the non-essential things of life. You can invent numerous schemes to occupy their minds. DEMON 1: Can you give us some examples? SATAN: You can start off by tempting them to spend, spend, spend, so that they can live up to some pre-conceived image that the world expects of them. Soon they’ll find themselves not being able to tithe and give to their churches. And then when they realize how much they’re spending, they’ll have to borrow, borrow, borrow, just to keep their heads above water. DEMON 2: That’s a good start! What else can we do? SATAN: Persuade the husbands and wives to work long hours each day, six and seven days each week so that they can afford their glamorous, empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As the families start to fragment, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures and demands of work!! DEMON 3: What about their kids? We can’t just let them get away scott-free!! SATAN: No problem. Entice them to constantly play the radio or cassette player when they drive. Tell them they need to keep the TV’s, VCR’s, CD’s, and PC’s going in their homes. This will distract them so that when that small voice tries to speak to them…they can’t hear it nor will they want to hear it. DEMON 1: We can make sure that every store and restaurant in the world plays worldly secular trash constantly!! DEMON 2: Right! That way it’ll jam their minds with garbage and that’ll help break that union with Christ!! SATAN: Can we please watch our language!! DEMON 2: Sorry boss. SATAN: I want you to fill their coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds with news 24 hours a day. Invade those quiet moments in the car with distracting billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes notices, and every other kind of newsletter you can think of. This will keep them from reading their bibles. Without the word, they get weak. DEMON 2: We can keep the wives too tired to show any attention to their husbands. If we give ‘em constant headaches, after awhile the husbands will go elsewhere to get the attention they need. DEMON 3: We can even bombard the husbands with skinny, beautiful models on all the magazines. That way they’ll believe that external beauty is what’s important and they won’t want their plain old ordinary wives anymore. SATAN: Yes!! Yessss!! Beautiful!! DEMON 1: Ooohhh!!! I know…when Christians do meet for spiritual fellowship, let’s involve them in gossip and small talk. That way they’ll leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotions. Then they won’t trust each other and they won’t be able to depend on each other for strength!! SATAN: Now you guys are getting the idea!! We can let them think that they are involved in soul winning all the way, but we just need to be sure and crowd their lives with so much excess that they have no time to seek power from above. Soon they’ll be working in their own strength. That means they’ll be sacrificing their own health and their families for the good of the cause. IT WILL WORK!! DEMON 2: I’m sold. Come on guys. Let’s go brief the rest of our teams and let’s get busy keeping these Christians busy. (They head offstage) SATAN: (As he slowly walks offstage) Hmm….busy. B. U. S. Y. I never thought about it until now…Being Under Satan’s Yoke. Heh heh, I like that. (back to the scripts page)
