A Season of Apathy

Carlote Bengemyer

Description

This book boldly takes on why there is so much evil prevailing in our world today. It is because there are far too many "powerless" "religious" churches calling themselves Christian. They have a form of Godliness, but deny the power (The Holy Spirit).

This book contains a wake up call for the True Body and Bride of Christ. Our apathy in many areas, is what is causing satan to have a field day, claiming spirits and souls for his kingdom of sin and darkness. It is time the True Bride rises up in spiritual power, to do battle with demonic forces.Those who fear doing this, or feel they don't know how (because they've never received any training) are under the influence of a powerless religious church. Label worshipers, who fear allowing the Spirit of Truth, to teach within their walls.

INTRODUCTION
In the last days perilous days shall come upon the earth. That which is good will be called evil; that which is evil will be called good! The heart of many will wax cold (devoid of human compassion and love). It is very clear; you do not have to be a Biblical Scholar to understand these words of prophecy are a reality in the world of today.
Indeed, just as God had told us, such evil is reigning within the hearts of men, women, and children. But have you ever considered the underlying reasons why evil has become so prevalent? It is because of the damage “Religion” has done in so many lives. Especially in the lives of those believing they are “Christians” – followers of Christ. Christian “Religions,” full of the prideful dogmas, doctrines, and traditions of man, offer their followers a form of Godliness, but deny the Power (The Holy Spirit) thereof!
As the result of this deception, many calling their selves Christian, are lacking in what Jesus came to bring to us. Jesus did not come to bring the world yet another “Religion.” There was already more than enough of that garbage on the earth when He came. Jesus, our Messiah, the Son of God, came to restore our “RELATIONSHIP” with our Father in Heaven to purity in His sight. Jesus did this so once more our Father may be able to look upon us and bless us as His children. Jesus also makes available to all who will diligently pursue Him (not Religion), the Promise of The Father, found in seeking and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire.
A Season of Apathy offers insight into why many have become pathetically powerless and apathetic, through serving “Religion” more than God. It also offers the Hope having your Restored “Relationship” brings into your life, the Power of being baptized by Jesus, with the Holy Spirit and Fire. Feed your hungry spirit the Bread of Life (the Word of God), and quench your parched and thirsty soul with Living Water.
After reading A Season of Apathy, you may wish to purchase copies to share with others. I pray you will. I have made the endeavor to keep the cost for my books as low as possible, that those wishing to share may do so without having to take out a loan at the bank.

Chapter One
A SEASON OF APATHY
One day as I was laying down listening to quiet thoughts roaming through my mind, it occurred to me what a terrible price we Christians have had to pay for the long Season of Apathy we have been in. We have shown apathy over our responsibility to be a Light in a world full of darkness. We have demonstrated apathy in answering the prayer of our Savior that we would become one body of believers having different labels (members), yet united by Love , with Christ alone as the Head of the body (not some dumb “Religious” label) . We are guilty of apathy in being a witness to those in the bondage of “religion.” We have failed to demonstrate that sons and daughters of God have within the “power” to live daily in “Relationship,” not religion (with God), as His redeemed sons and daughters .
Sadly, we have shown to God apathy over the use of our wonderful gift of Faith, even though warned that Faith without works is dead. Lastly, and most importantly, we have succumbed to apathy in seeking to gain, and once gaining, to use the power of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire. This Season of Apathy has allowed satan opportunities to deceive spirits and claim souls on a level as never before. This has happened not only in America but in countries around the world. I can best relate to that which has occurred in my own country. However, I am certain readers in other countries will find the problems to be similar, because it is the same prince of darkness who we, by our apathy, have allowed to corrupt the spirit and soul of our brothers and sisters living with us in this world.
The list is long, so I will mention only a few of the problems our apathy has permitted to permeate throughout our society. Let’s start off with immorality. Sources of immorality abound in America today like never before. Sex for self gratification only, having nothing to do with love, commitment, procreation and marriage, is being preached from every pulpit (media) satan can find. In far too many movies, on television, radio, music, and on college campuses - satan has become an honored guest speaker. Our college students, supposedly being taught to be smart, are being told there is no “scientific evidence” to prove God exists. But “great” is the evidence of evolution. To the student who all of his or her life has been taught only “ powerless religion” and/or “bigoted label worship;” to whom the Ten Commandments are just words written on blocks of stone; the sound of such ignorant teaching appears to ring true (even though it is a lie straight from satan).
Losing belief that God and His Commandments are relevant to their life, students go in for binge drinking, and other immoral acts. Without being taught or willing to crucify the lust of the flesh; satan has his way with those who lack a loving relationship with Father God, and the indwelling presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit. To any who might choose to scoff at this as a joke, please allow me to enlighten you? Allowing satan to lead you around by the nose is not a sign of intelligence ! Listening to self proclaimed “experts” teaching lies as truth - is a game played by dummies! Worse yet are parents willing to pay salaries to ignorant people whose goal and desire is to destroy their sons’ or daughters’ belief in that which is important, true , and necessary to their successful entry into eternity.
Even our little children are daily exposed to seeing and hearing on television and in movies, cartoon characters that talk with the mouth of spiritual morons. Ignorant foul-mouth cartoon characters would never have been tolerated by parents when I was growing up. Neither would all the satanic (”music”?) groups and immoral lyrics in would be “songs.” Why would this not be tolerated by parents then, yet widely accepted by parents today? I believe it is because my parents, when they were growing up, were taught to have a strong sense of giving worship, praise, and honor to God; actually fearing God (giving Him the reverence He is due). I am speaking of the God under Whose authority and guidance America’s founders sought in establishing the greatest country in the world. In the founding days of America, satan’s little phony gods were not prevalent in society, as they are today. The Founders of America believed correctly in their heart, the One True God is and should be the ONLY source of America’s strength and protection.
Today we have parents who have had drummed into their head the motto, “it’s a free country! Duh, what can I do?” Their belief in this slogan allows them to feel “free” to have an attitude of apathy over diseases of immorality, violence, and crime being spread by those whose lives are in service to satan. Diseases having a devastating effect on the quality and happiness of not only their own life, but the life their children will live. Diseases such as casual sex, which leads to unwed mothers, AIDS, venereal diseases and acceptance of the idea of an “alternate lifestyles” (homosexuality) which God calls an abomination in His sight. Equally an abomination are mothers willing to pay a “hit man or woman” to murder the innocent little baby in their womb. None of these diseases will give your child an abundant life, neither here or in eternity! As satan desires, such diseases will only steal an abundant life from them.
When I was a child there were many childhood diseases; polio perhaps being one of the worst. But thanks be to God, people chose to fight back against such diseases. Money was donated for research, and dedicated doctors and scientists sought out a cure. These efforts were not in vain, for one day God provided a man by the name of Jonas Salk.
Polio, that horrible disease was still out there, lingering, looking for opportunity to harm its victims. But it was unable to harm me and millions of other kids like me. You see, my parents loved me. Because of their love, they made sure I received the necessary medical help to make me immune to the ravages of polio. Not just me, they also loved those less fortunate. My parents, like millions of others, donated money, helping raise funds for poor children to receive the same immunity I had.
Today satan has many devastating diseases affecting the lives of men, women, and children of all ages. But these diseases are not physical, they are spiritual. They harm the mind, heart, soul, and spirit of those whose life a Holy God created to be His children. You need to understand this well… God Loves His Children ! He has provided in His Word not only a cure, but also a way to immunize and protect His children from every immoral disease satan would try to attack them with. God’s cure is the Blood of Jesus. His immunization plan is as follows: to all receiving Jesus as their Savior, He sends the power of His Holy Spirit to dwell within. Under the Holy Spirit’s guidance we are able to recognize and reject every foul plan of satan to destroy our spiritual health. We receive immunity from being a slave to sin, as we were before becoming born again.
Yes parents, today the diseases are of a spiritual and not just physical nature. But just as in fighting physical diseases, my parents needed more than love and money. They needed someone possessing the proper training and skills to administer the medication needed to make me immune. In spir
