In the Land of Busyness

 In the not too distant from here is a land called, “The Land of Busyness.”  A long time ago, an evil prince cast a spell on the land and its inhabitants.  The evil prince created a powerful illusion that moved through all generations.  This illusion is so powerful that none of its inhabitants know it exists. You can easily hear phrases widely spoken in the Land of Busyness. Phrases like, “I have to hurry! I can’t be late, again! There’s just not enough hours in the day to do what I need to do! Look at what all I have left to do!” The stress and anxiety is always at a high pitch and the people believe this is the way life it is supposed to be.  Sadly the deadliest part of the illusion is that the inhabitants have been told by the evil prince, “Don’t worry, you will have time another day.”  The evil prince knows that this is a lie…that he will never allow the time to come. He knows that he will only fill the next day and the day after that with the same lies and the same busyness. The people in the land of busyness continue on their busy way, keeping busy…teaching their children – this is the way it is here in the Land of Busyness.

Sure there are celebrations of life and expressions of love squeezed into an already packed schedule.  But by allowing this, the evil prince has stolen the essence of joy. It has been simply been squeezed out, minimized and sometimes overlooked.  Because that is just the way life is in the Land of Busyness. Moments to renew each other and bless each another are lost or quickly forgotten in the frenzied activities. Because that is the way it is in the land of busyness. 

The main clock in the tower in the center of town stopped working long ago.  Part of evil prince’s illusion is that another clock hangs in its place. The fast hand on the clock seemed blurred as it bangs out the time to hurry…get busy…pushing the inhabitants relentlessly. And such is the day for the inhabitants in the Land of Busyness.

The evil prince also cursed the inhabitants of the land of busyness with disease.  The prince is evil because he doesn’t care that it makes the inhabitants sad and causing great pain and suffering. He shortens their days and steals their hope.  Yet the inhabitants aren’t allowed the time to grieve or comfort one another.  For the illusion dictates that time is of the essence and time and activity must go on.  For such is the life in the day of the inhabitants in the Land of Busyness.

The evil prince believes that by hurting the inhabitants, that he hurts the heart of The Great Father.

Be comforted, Little Ones of the Land of Busyness, for behind a veil in the eastern sky of the Land of Busyness another Kingdom is waging war on the evil prince. Far above the heads and in the hearts of the inhabitants, The Great Father, His Son- the Mighty King and their Helper are breaking the illusion.  The Mighty King’s banner is LOVE.  Carrying the Mighty King’s banner, Angelic Special Forces are being sent by The Great Father and His Son to engage the evil prince and his army daily. The evil prince is very angry and he intensifies the suffering of the inhabitants.

Promised words of hope and redemption spoken long ago are now coming to pass.  The Great Father’s Kingdom is almost ready.  On That Day the veil will roll back like a scroll and The Mighty King will return for all those who have chosen Him as their king.  The Mighty Kingdom will be a forever Kingdom...a land of joy, a paradise filled with love and hope. There will be no tears shed for there is no sickness or death.  The Mighty King will forever banish the evil prince and along with his entire army!  The evil prince will be no more and the inhabitants (yes, the prisoners of the Land of Busyness) will be set free! 

Won’t you come today, good kind and gentle Mighty King to set us free?
