A long overdue message...

A few days ago I was shocked to hear someone say that a local minister was offended by me during a brief moment of introduction. For two days I racked my brain, trying to figure out how this offense could have happened, since so few words had passed between us. The person telling me this also said, “He does have a wall up.” Even hearing that did not comfort me.

I will likely go to the man and try to make things right, though I have lived long enough to know that some people who, “have a wall up” have a spirit of offense ruling in their lives. People who live or work with someone like this, always feel they have to watch every word they say to keep from making that person mad, or hurt their feelings. It is an imprisoning thing to be joined even for a few moments with anyone inhabited with this evil spirit.

I want to help anyone who may possibly be in association with this crippling dilemma. Strangely enough, I have noticed that very intelligent, gifted and anointed people have fallen prey to becoming Satan’s puppet in this way. His whole intention through this diabolical plan is to divide_ in order to conquer. He is targeting Christians to become divided because they are his greatest threat.

First, you must realize that it probably isn’t you, if this thing has reared its ugly head more than a couple of times. Guard yourself that you do not become its prisoner.

Second, realize that the person you are faced with is a victim of a lie. The lie becomes so entrenched in their minds that they truly believe that everyone else is deceived and that they are the only one that knows the truth. They believe that they have no personal worth and everyone is out to get them, openly or by stealth. They are basically suspicious of all people. They have a need to control, for in controlling through manipulation, they can assure themselves that they will not be alone. Being overly giving, kind, fun loving and serving, can all be tools of manipulation that keep those around them enslaved. Of course none of these things work for long.

(THROUGH BLOOD ANALYSIS THE FIELD OF PSYCHIATRY HAS PROVEN THAT BRAIN CHEMISTRY MUST ACTUALLY BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE LIE AND TO LIVE IT AS TRUTH. FROM THAT POINT OF CHEMICAL CHANGE WITHIN THE BRAIN, VICTIMS WILL ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO PROVE THEMSELVES RIGHT, AS IF THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE JUST DOESN’T GET IT. ADDICTS ARE BIRTHED OUT OF THIS CONDITION. It is easy to see how nothing but a miracle can change an addict’s behavior.)

They must be continually complimented and will embrace anyone that makes them feel good. To stay in their favor one must keep the compliments coming until they too become enslaved; a prisoner, fearing the wrath of this monster. Sad to say, this kind of demonic filtration is on the rise. Jesus said in Matthew twenty-four that we are to ‘Take heed...’ as this is another sign that we are in the last days;

v.10, And then many shall be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

v.11,Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. v.12, And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”

Let me break this down from the Greek into a more correct rendering for our understanding; In the last days Satan will set traps through his lies and many will fall prey to his trickery. They will ‘cast off, cast away’ everyone that comes close to them. Eventually the prisoners will get fed up with being controlled through manipulation and say, or do, something that will make the victim mad, who will then have a, ‘Get away from me’ attitude.

Once the ‘offended’ one is alone, the False Prophet will whisper stroking, wound licking words to its victim; all the while prophesying more lies and doom to the one who has finally broken free from this evil spirit’s victim.

Because the ‘offended’ feels rejected and alone, the deceitfulness of sin causes them to break every law of love, and hatred will set into their souls. This can be such an ‘icy cold,’ that they can even contemplate their death, or another’s.

A Spirit of Jezebel is very similar to the Spirit of Offense.

King Saul is a detailed example of one offended. At a moment in time when he should have rejoiced over this young warrior David, who had actually made him look good, he instead opened himself up to a lying spirit and fell into the trap of jealousy. The door was now open and from that point Satan had himself a willing puppet. He now saw David as an enemy and he despised him and ‘cast him away’ from his side...

As is typical of so many of these victims; the man, Saul loved David, but the spirit that now possessed him vented its murderous intentions through Saul.

He did have moments of freedom from that wicked hateful spirit, but only ‘moments’. The love with which he had loved David now turned to bitter, killing hatred, all because he believed a lie from the false prophet, Satan himself. Though he had been God’s chosen, gifted man, tall and handsome, his thinking became so distorted, He died an insane man who actually committed suicide.

So, how can we guard ourselves? We can be like David. 1. Do not attack the victim. 2. Show love but don’t shove. 3. Keep your distance as much as possible. 4. Don’t concern yourself with fear of hurting their feelings. They have believed a lie and there is no placating (appeasing), that spirit for long. You cannot be in unity with someone that has been overtaken with this divisive spirit. 5. Be blessed with this promise, “You shall know the truth, (Jesus is truth.) And the Truth will set you free.”

Guard your freedom, Jesus died for it....Now soar above all of life’s cares. If God is for you, who can be against you?

God Richly Bless You!

March 2007

For several weeks now I have written and rewritten, what I know to be Prophetic warnings and wisdom for all who call themselves Christians. First it was a seven page letter, then three. I have wanted to just forget it but even this night as I have been trying to sleep, the Lord has kept me awake with these words, “If you love me and My people you must not keep quiet about the things that I have spoken to you.” Here it is;

In 1986 I received a vision and prophetic Word from The Lord. I was in a church service in southern Illinois, when I spoke what the Lord had shown me. I knew in my heart that the congregants did not receive either the Word or me for giving it. They gave me what was probably the only copy of the tape, as I left.

In these twenty-one years since I first received it, the Lord has never let me forget what I saw. However in the last few months The Vision and His Words of Prophecy

have loomed large in my mind and I know that everything He showed me is soon coming to pass.

I saw as it were the veil that covered the Holy of Holies, being split open with the arm of God coming out and down. His Hand was wide open. At the same time He said, “Tell them that I am casting down the five powers and then I’m coming back.”

Answering me as to what those powers were, He said;

I am a jealous God and those things that I gave man the power to institute for convenience and safety, have become their gods. They no longer look to Me as their source, but the thing made has become greater than The Creator of all things.

America was birthed as a Christian nation, to give My people freedom of Religion, without bondage. It is I that wrote, through men, The Constitution of these United States. But, America has forgotten Her God. Therefore I will cast down;

Man’s Dependency on Money,

Man’s Dependency on Government,

Man’s Dependency on the Military,

Man’s Dependency on Religion, and

Man’s Dependency on Man

Again, it has been twenty-one years since I first heard those words.

Recently the Lord took me to the same heavenly courtroom where Isaiah in chapter one, heard the judgments being brought against God’s people, Israel. We are Israel, because as His children we have been grafted in. He was and is speaking to His Church and to the Governments of this nation; He has moved on my heart to prophesy;

“I have raised you up as a people and a nation because of My great mercies. But you have revolted against Me. You do not understand that the whole head of this Nation as well as many Governing members of My Body have become sick and as a result, many are deceived as to My will for them. Holiness is a word that has no meaning whatsoever. For the most part, the world cannot distinguish My people from themselves. Many have become despairing, even hopeless.

The lack of education and poverty has been blamed for the anger, the violence and criminal acts of many, who you would look on as the sole of the foot. Most are there because their worth has been trampled down in their tender youth; treated as if they were no more than burdens to be thrown out. But I tell you a truth; they had worth in My eyes. They were created in the womb by the same Hand that created the rich and privileged. The rich and powerful learn to hide their abominations but My eye sees what is hidden in the darkness. Yes, from the sole of the foot to the head there is no soundness.

America you were once faithful to the principles of your Creator, However, you have given wickedness of all kinds a license to continue mocking my goodness and challenging My holiness. This once faithful nation has become a wicked harlot that sells its goods and honor to nations that hate Me. For what; Merchandise that I have placed in the soil of this nation, ready to be drawn out.

You were wounded when your high towers that represented your passion for power and prosperity fell, you cried out to me for comfort and vengeance, but you never took responsibility for your own sins, you never humbled yourself. Oh Daughter of Zion, your sores are still laid open and bare for mockers to laughingly judge you. Still there is no true repentance. And though you have seen your children and other innocents pay for your wantonness, you still have not accepted My word, that to heal a nation, it is up to My people to repent, turn from their wicked ways and pray.

When I see your sacrifices, which are only from the mouth and the hands and not the heart, I will hide My face from you. I do not want your hands raised up or even to hear your prayers. Turn your hearts back to Me, your Creator and I will hear your prayers.

The fear of the Lord must be upon the people of God before any nation can gain strength. If My people who are called by My Name refuse to clean out the tabernacles of their own hearts and their places of worship, they will cease to have a place to be stroked with the words, Peace, Prosperity and Safety. Consider what I am saying to you My Church, as well as to this nation of America;

Your treasuries are filled and there is no end to the silver and gold, your military might is the strongest in the world, your land is filled with idols made by the hands of men, Eastern influences as well as pagan worship is openly allowed due to what you call freedom of speech and religion. When in truth, it is for the sake of greed and what you call peace.

Your elders, who have wisdom and the benefit of years of experience, are mocked and marked as unfit. They are cast out of their rightful places of authority, and are seen only as a burden to be cast away.

Gays openly declare their perversion and those whom you have chosen to govern your nation and pastor your churches agree, that there is no shame. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err…’’”

How can a Prophet not speak. When the same conditions were true in Isaiah’s time, I sent a warning through Him, to my beloved Israel. I speak once, twice and three times…I ask you now to decide. Are these judgments true? If they are true and there is no repentance, then these are the consequences that will come in three waves.

#1, from within; (The Lord has used the media to prove to us, that there are enough terrorist in America now, with their weaponry, to take out major cities… Are their hands being held back by a merciful God? )

#2, from Insurgents; (Why aren’t our boarders being protected? Could it possibly be that the hand of God’s judgment prevents it?)

#3, from the air; (1. Could God be speaking through the horrific weather conditions? The weathermen can warn, even as God warns us, but the power from the air, who can harness it? 2. What does Satan have up his sleeve, bringing nuclear minded Iraq, Iran, N. Korea and Russia to the table…..?

The Prophet Isaiah warned (3:12) and I speak now to you, I hope not in sorrow. I call every Overseer, Pastor or Prophet to take the responsibility for My Body. It is you that I have commanded to teach My Word in truth, not glossing over the warnings. For unless My people who are called by My Name, consider their ways and repent;

Count on your six major cities being burned with fire,

Look to strangers to devour your land, in your presence,

See now how it will become desolate, as overthrown by insurgents,

Your churches will be no more than cottages in a vineyard or

Huts in a garden that once flourished with life giving food,

Strangers will besiege even the small cities.

Your weapons of warfare will melt, your silver will become dross, and the idols you have made and worshipped will be burned with fire. Your Princes who have become companions of thieves, always seeking for rewards, will be exposed and brought down in shame. Then because guilt and bewilderment will set in on those who ignored their opportunity to rule in truth, equity and love, riotous gangs of angry vengeance seeking children will join with your oppressors. Yes, children will be your oppressors and women shall rule over you. (Please read all of Isaiah, Chapters one through three.)

In 1994, The Lord spoke to me late in the night, “The day will soon come, when even My people will only survive by the miraculous.”

This very night, March 4, 2007, I got out of bed when He firmly spoke; “I am your and their miracle working God, if only they will look to Me alone…and believe. I am their and this nation’s only hope. He who puts His trust in Me will not be ashamed.”

Sincerely in love and hope,

Benji
