IF I WERE THE DEVIL

by the late Paul Harvey (1999)

I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world...

I would delude her peoples’ minds into thinking that their standing had come from man's effort, instead of God's blessings...

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of loving people and using things...

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 lives of animals are valued more than human beings...

I would take God out of the schools, so that even the mention of His Name would be grounds for a lawsuit...

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and alter behavior and then target our youth while employing sports heroes to advertise them...

I would take control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family member with my agenda...

I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation, in every possible way, demeaning marriage as God intended and then redefining it in accord with the new normal...

I would make divorce acceptable, easy, and even fashionable because if the family crumbles so will the nation...

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

I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled...

I would 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I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date and that The Bible is for the naïve...

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!

And, in his inimitable way, he concluded this 1999 spot with his signature greeting:

Good Day!

IS HE SUCCEDING? ARE WE THERE YET?

LET’S NOT LET THAT HAPPEN! IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

The Lord Himself lets us know our responsibility in this: “Submit  yourselves, then to God (study the Word of God, the Bible). Resist the devil (resist evil, and the evil one), and he will flee from you. Come near to God (get to know who God is) and He will come near to you (He will make Himself real to you). Wash your hands (cleanse yourself, turn from your sin), you sinners, and purify your hearts (confess you sins), you double-minded.” James 4:7-8
