A Season of Apathy. Carlote Bengemyer

Lord, before I must die, use me for Your honor and glory.”

      The challenge I bring to everyone engaged in the profession of being a teacher is clear. If you take pride in wearing the label “teacher,” you must know that to be worthy of respect you must always strive to teach only the truth, never falsehoods. With the Spirit of Truth residing within you, this will be no difficult task. However, apart from Him you will be open to receive and pass along the lies and deceptions of satan. You worked so diligently to seek a diploma which certifies that you are qualified to teach. Yet that diploma is flawed in its statement if you are unable to teach the truth. Also, that diploma will eventually perish. But if you will work as diligently seeking the Spirit of Truth, you will end up having a power and a wisdom no piece of paper could ever grant to you. Far beyond that, the warm loving relationship with your Father God you will come to know will follow you into eternity.

      My friends, it is time for all of us to be diligently seeking wisdom, power, and guidance from the Holy Spirit to rule and reign in our lives. You cannot have apathy and diligently seek God. You cannot have apathy toward the lies of satan, when you are filled with the Spirit of Truth. You also cannot watch helplessly as the soul of your brother is drowning in sin - if you have the Love of God “alive” within your heart. Today is the time for the Bride of Christ to shine as “one,” united in love, body of believers! I feel as if God has chosen to use me as a second generation John the Baptist. He is using me to SHOUT this message to both the church and the lost: JESUS, the Messiah, will soon be returning to claim His Bride! Make STRAIGHT the path of the LORD!

      There will be those who will listen and be motivated to act on these warnings. There will be those who will hear only, get briefly excited; but then quickly fall back into Apathy. Sadly, there also will be those who will choose to laugh and scoff at these warnings. These last two are the ones I have seen in the darkened cell in my dreams. May God help them keep the gift of Faith alive during their days of persecution! Lastly, there will be those who hate the Word of God being made manifest by the Spirit of Truth. From darkened hearts that have waxed cold, they have made the decision to call the prince of darkness - master. Yet the writings in every one of my books reach out to them in God’s Love, offering them a chance to reject death and darkness and come to the Life and Light of God and His Love while there is still time to do so.

      To every reader I would ask that you pray to God for me. The journey He has given me is not an easy road to travel on. Please pray for God to strengthen my spirit to withstand the attacks of satan. Also, to guide my steps, least I stray in any way from the path He has given me to follow. My job is to attack satan and his kingdom of darkness. My goal is to use the Light of God’s Love to free lost spirits from the kingdom of darkness. I hope and pray everyone choosing to wear the label “Christian,” realizes this job is not mine alone. It is your job, and should be your goal as well. God has given us all of the defensive protection we need in battle. He has entrusted us with the Sword of the Spirit, whereby we can smite demons! Why wait by helplessly for satan to attack? We are soldiers of Light! Mighty in battle through our Faith in Jesus Christ! It’s time to awaken from our apathy toward satan and his works of evil. It’s time for demons to tremble in fear whenever a “born again” Christian invades their space. They know they are about to get whacked by the Sword of the Spirit and thrown back into Hell!

      I am aware many do this far better than me. I also know there are others who do not try as hard as they should. We Christians are all in the same boat. Sometimes we all get weak and weary. We sometimes fail. But that should never stop us from seeking more power from the Holy Spirit, so our times of weakness are far outweighed by our times of strength. Our successes far surpass our failures. What we need to always remember is this: when we are in the boat and the storm rages, Jesus is in the boat with us! When we are running the good race – if we ask and yield to Him, the Holy Spirit will help us run and not be weary!

      My brothers and sisters let us all seek the power of God in our lives as never before! Let the Son of man be able to find the kind of FAITH He will be looking to find upon His return (Luke, chapter 18, verse 8). Let the Bride of Christ be the most BEAUTIFUL and RADIANT BRIDE the world has ever seen; without the spot of “label worship” or the wrinkle of “religious bigotry.” The answer is to be found in the desire of our hearts. Whom do we wish to call Master, worship, listen to, and obey? Where are we wishing to store up treasure? In Heaven will you be living in a Place, or a Palace?
