Is there a time when you will not be tempted? 

is there ever a time in life one does not give into temptations? Some say of course! I say, there is a time you are more aware it is wrong but rationalize it and sin.. then fall into the cycle of sin ask forgiveness try then fail. Is there ever a time you are not tempted? The time that occurs, is when you see and know it is a wrong action, and learned to pray and get busy with things, removing self from familiar temptations.
 
is there ever a time.. one is not tempted? Only when one truly reads the Bible daily, prays for discernment. Then, and only then, when the sin approaches with the whispering demons, you truly are aware of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. With God in front of the temptation you will not fail.
Is there ever a time in life one does not give into temptations? The time that is the most dangerous is this, Knowing the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God are looking right at you. Not a'faith' of knowing, a knowing knowing. As you give in, once more to a familiar sin and you literally are aware of their presence and you know it is a sin? That my friends is very very close to Blasphemy toward the Holy Spirit.
pray, talk, walk with, be with on a constant in thought process either asking or giving thanks to God. Reach out to someone if you are about to do it ..yet one more time.
God will help you know
God bless you

Imagine the immense pain and horror Jesus had in that one moment..  

A thought came to me today while praying and thinking about Jesus. I think of Him often,His love for us His pain he endured for us. While i make the crosses, i see His suffering with each carving and shaping of the cross. OUR vile actions against the Father that Jesus knew he would take on. From the beginning, imagine doing nothing wrong but loving all, teaching words of love, showing the will of His Father. He said often He was doing the will of the Father. In a holy vision to me that is being finalized into song, the words “your desires are the Father's, only His way is the way.” Shows that Jesus, who is the Son of God, who is one of the Holy Trinity, was doing the Father's will.

He prayed three different times in the Garden on the night of Him being taken away. Three times for at least an hour each time. For He admonished them that they could not stay awake for ‘at least’ an hour. So, possibly a little less. Imagine the intensity of the prayers, Jesus talking to His Father, knowing the suffering He would endure. 

Mark 14:34 KJV  And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch 

The long tortured journey to the hill to be finally nailed to the cross. Suffering immeasurably. Now the moment comes. He knew He was almost done with His task of saving us. Our sins ripped through Him with every lash, torn into him with each nail. Every drop of blood a scream through the halls of His soul! Pain of which we will never experience. 

Then.. Separation from the Father. Forever was with the Father until that moment. Imagine the intensity of the pain our Lord felt then yelled out. Obviously the knowledge of that moment of separation  was kept from Him. He did not know He would not feel the presence of the Father. That is the horrendous amount of sins committed so bad and so many that Jesus had to feel separation from the Father for the first time, in time. In the existence of time. To take on pain we will never know, to be so tortured physically, then had to be separated from the Father. i cannot even imagine Jesus's sorrow  silence in His soul, His Father turned away

Father God will not look at sin, Jesus had taken all the sins to the point of being completely blotted out of the Father's vision. I believe there are two reasons for the separation. One, is because He will not look upon Sin, and I feel Jesus had to feel, experience the pain of the void life is without the Father, that is the horrendous amount of sins He took away.

Lighting struck a white pine.. the crosses I am making from that wood touched by God's power! 

 

 

 

Recently a friend's white pine tree was hit by lightning. It wasn't a normal hit, according to four tree removal experts. They had never seen a tree split down the middle like that almost all the way to the base of the tree. The lightning, at 50 thousand degrees turned the sap into steam and the tree exploded in half. White pine trees are very full of sap and takes years for them to sit and dry enough for good firewood. They stated it was bone dry. The parts that the lightning hit, bone dry.

I collected some of this wood and planned on making a lot of the Bensel Crosses for walls from it.  Feeling it was so cool that God touched it with His power. But what is happening is not to make all of it wall crosses but to make some pocket crosses and clergy or wearable crosses also.

This wood needs to be held or worn. The blessings from this lightning touched wood. Wood that God showed His presence upon, will be amazing and phenomenal. Will also be making small ones for your pet! The cross is a symbol of God's love for us. And when someone sees a cross they think of Jesus! Your pet could use the blessings also. : )

As I make them I also feel and am shown the blessings upon them. The feeling, the tangible expression of the Holy Spirit is with me as I form these wee crosses. When held, they feel amazing, calmness fills and a peace that can only come from the Holy Spirit finds the soul.

Let's think about this for a moment, Lighting and God.  Lightning is used all through the bible as God announces His majestic presence for all to see ~~through and with lightning!

On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. 

Exodus 19:16

Lightning symbolizes several different things in the Bible. It can signify God’s mighty presence – in a literal and / or poetic sense – that causes all people to tremble in reverence

Psalm 77:18). It also means God’s wrathful judgment against His enemies (Psalm 144:6; Psalm 18:14). Satan also fell “like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18), showing God’s swift decree against him. Lightning will also be a sudden sign of Jesus’ second coming, seen by all (Matthew 24:27).

God is perfect love and goodness; our heavenly Father who gives us the treasures of His mercy and grace. 

However, at the same time, we must also remember that God is the righteous judge of all things (Psalm 7:11; Psalm 50:6). He is the supreme ruler over everything! 

Thus, there are indeed Biblical moments where God uses lightning – literal and / or symbolic – as a sign of His wrath. In these instances, lightning is often described as weapons that God uses against His enemies. 

Out of the brightness of His presence bolts of lightning blazed forth. The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot His arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning He routed them. 

2 Samuel 22:13-15 

Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot Your arrows and rout them. 

Psalm 144:6 

And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about the Ammonites and their insults: “‘A sword, a sword, drawn for the slaughter, polished to consume and to flash like lightning! 

Ezekiel 21:28 

lightning in the Bible not only means God’s presence, but can also reflect His firm judgment against those who willfully rebel against His kingdom.

lightning is used to convey God’s swift, powerful, and visible judgment against Satan’s rebellion in heaven. In addition, Jesus – in declaring his witnessing of Satan’s fall – is also revealing his divine pre-existence outside of his time on earth. 

 lightning in the Bible often means God’s judgment – most famously of all, His decree against Lucifer.

Jesus simply replies “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18)

There are various explanations as to why Jesus used this exact phrasing. 

However, in this context, lightning is used to convey God’s swift, powerful, and visible judgment against Satan’s rebellion in heaven. In addition, Jesus – in declaring his witnessing of Satan’s fall – is also revealing his divine pre-existence outside of his time on earth. 

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 

Matthew 24:27 

 God uses the quality of lightning to indicate the suddenness of Jesus’ impending return. Of course, there will be warning signs, like how forming thunderstorms can be observed. However, it will still happen at an unexpected moment, just as lightning strikes out of nowhere. 

This reminds us to always stand firm in our faith. For “not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36) knows when and how Jesus will come. 

But one thing is for certain. It will happen as quick as lightning, seen by everyone – as God says it will!  

Job 37:4 

After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.

Google for yourself how many times Lightning is used in the bible and how it is always connected to the presence of or wrath from God. I make driftwood crosses and always ask God to bless them with what the home needs. I am shown the home where it will be, I am shown what the family needs. Sometimes I am shown a person looking at the cross and see the miracle of the Holy Spirit calming them and helping them with the prayer they asked as they looked upon the driftwood cross.

I am a healer for God, I work for the Big Guy, He works through me.. and I tell ya this lightning wood is special. God's presented it to my soul to create crosses that people can hold. They can feel where God touched it! Lightning is God's presence, yes I am repeating myself. And this tree was hit like no other that had been witnessed by at least 4 tree removal experts. And, it hit the tree of Irene Baron's house, who has witnessed many miracles through healings and also has been healed  and is my close friend. It HIT her tree so I could make these pocket crosses for people to feel the presence/ that word again/ the PRESENCE of God, in a tangible way. We feel the Holy Spirit, hold it as we walk through our day. Not only a  reminder of His love I feel there will be healings and spirit awakening in all that order one with faith in our Lord. 

I know I have to make a lot of them. Is a constant gentle urge and I see piles of pocket crosses and clergy crosses and crosses from this wood being worn around the necks of not only people but their pets! I have a couple that will be wall crosses but the rest will be small. This symbol of God's love, the cross, causes us to think of Him. With this lightning wood doubly blessed by the literal TOUCH from God in the tangible way of lightning, many will feel such peace through their day.

I will leave you with this thought. The world is going through a turning point where a chasm is forming between right and wrong. God is showing His presence more than ever. Many many many.. are turning to and reaching for God. The same amount are turning away for the world things of greed and pleasure and to hurt others. God answers our prayers, He does not lie

Matthew 7:7-8 

King James Version 

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

All believers are keeping God in front of all they do, praying, reaching to let others see and feel His love His peace. Turmoil is occurring, families being separated.  I feel and am shown these simple pieces of wood from a tree God touched, will help all with the feeling of His presence and to be closer to Him and also am shown healings will occur. God's will, God's timing always. When we reach with faith HE answers.

God split that tree with His presence, His lightning which represents HIM! And to repeat myself.. none of the four tree removal experts had seen a tree split like that and the wood left bone dry. Why dry? So I can make pocket cross and crosses for people to have near them filled with the Holy Spirit tangibly expressed by God's Lightning strike in a way never seen.

I will be posting them on this site but please reach out to me for the size you wish and I will make it so. I will ask God to bless it even more and boy I tell ya, as I have made the few the Holy Spirit is there with love that only God can give.

 

God bless all that read this

JOHN 19: 26-27 KJV WHY I THINK JESUS CALLED HIS MOTHER "WOMAN" WHILE AT THE CANA WEDDING AND ON THE CROSS 

 

King James Version 

 

Two times Jesus called His mother Mary, 'woman' in the bible.

John 2:1-11 

King James Version 

2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Happy Easter to all! He is risen and yay for us! It came to me today, on Easter Sunday 2022. I have had this on my mind for a week or so. This is purely speculation but makes sense to me.

The Cana Wedding: As Jesus says to Mary after she asks Him to help with the wine, John 2: 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.  I feel this is Jesus doing Gods work, He was to do miracles and show He was truly the Son of God when 'His time had come." When He would become the Son of God to all on earth. Yes, he was always the Son of God even as a child, even when first born.. but whenever He does such miracles or speaks of how we should be to get to the kingdom of God she is not His mother anymore she is woman, like all women on earth. He is Gods word made flesh. There is a fine line here, I feel, and He is showing that fine line by calling His mother, 'woman' while doing His Father's work.

He only called her that twice in the whole bible and each time was when He was actively doing His Father's work or a miraculous moment like turning the water to wine. Actively 'showing' He had powers above all on earth. Calling His mother 'woman,' separated her from Him as His mother to show He was doing it for all of mankind, not just His family on earth. I.E. his mother or siblings. If carrying water to her, would be 'mother'. If walking with, living with all of His life before His time had come, she was 'mother.'  But when walking His time to save all and show all He is the Son of God, the Savior and she is shown to be part of all on earth and is called, 'woman' not any different from any human on earth.  The same on the cross in excruciating pain. I do not feel this is a moment when He shows all that He wants people to take care of His mother. He was showing once more that Mary is of the earth. When Jesus's time came to do what He came down to earth to do, she was a person like all on the earth and from the earth. Separating with that fine line. Yes, she was His mother by immaculate conception and was His mother on earth and called such before His time came to become not the son of Mary but the Son of God. His transition into the pure spiritual world with God, and as God, word made flesh. And doing this sacrifice for all of mankind putting her into that place. She is not above any other woman on earth, she is 'woman' not mother.  The fine line, the separation had to be shown and spoken to the world.

While He was on earth as a human, God's word in flesh, He spoke that all alive were His brothers and sisters and mother. 

Matthew 12:46-50   KJV. Specifically this ~ 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?   49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 

This is what I feel was happenin Showing the transition from God in flesh to God as the Holy Trinity, God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. For Jesus is God and God is the Holy Trinity. Let's drop it down a notch if that sounds too insane. Jesus becomes spirit in whole, no longer of the world but with God in complete union and communion with Spirit, flesh and mind. He is Word made flesh and He is alive still, in flesh, but also spirit, mind and soul. And He is showing all that Mary, while Jesus is doing what He came here to do, is a woman like all other women on earth. She is not any better or worse than anyone she is like all of us He died to save. From the earth, of the earth.

Ponder and pray on it. I could be just insane and off my noggin but why would He have called her woman if it didn't mean something profound? All words Jesus spoke and are written have a meaning and a lesson. By calling Mary not mother but woman, tells me the lesson that she is a woman like all others. She gave birth to Him so that He could become flesh as man is made flesh. He had to live as man, word made flesh and to do that needed a mother to give birth to Him.  She was His mother. But when doing God's work the fine line is shown that she is  human and  a woman like all other women on earth and His sacrifice is for her also as a 'woman.' A thought?      

Thank you for reading and being on this journey with me for God. We are all so truly blessed, even if we have horrendous adversities God's will be done. Even Jesus asked to possibly not have to do this suffering. "nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." 

Matthew 26: 39 KJV 

“And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

 

Worry not on life. Keep reaching to know and learn all the levels. God is showing all of us. He is a great teacher and Father and He loves us so much that He gave His only son for us to be forgiven and our souls to live and not die.

God bless all.   .. even you, the one over there

This explains so clearly the healing ministry. 

This explains so clearly the healing ministry. Taken from the net and explains so much. 

Scripture strongly affirms ministries of spiritual healing, which in recent years have received renewed emphasis throughout Christ's holy Church. The root of the word healing in New Testament Greek, sozo, is the same as that of salvation and wholeness. Spiritual healing is God's work of offering persons balance, harmony, and wholeness of body, mind, spirit, and relationships through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Through such healing, God works to bring about reconciliation between God and humanity, among individuals and communities, within each person, and between humanity and the rest of creation. The New Testament records that Jesus himself healed the estranged and sick and sent out his disciples on ministries of healing. James (5:14–16a) calls us also to pray for and anoint the sick, that they may be healed. 

All healing is of God. The Church's healing ministry in no way detracts from the gifts God gives through medicine and psychotherapy. It is no substitute for either medicine or the proper care of one's health. Rather, it adds to our total resources for wholeness. 

Healing is not magic, but underlying it is the great mystery of God's love. Those who minister spiritual healing are channels of God's love. Although no one can predict what will happen in a given instance, many marvelous healings have taken place. 

God does not promise that we shall be spared suffering but does promise to be with us in our suffering. Trusting that promise, we are enabled to recognize God's sustaining presence in pain, sickness, injury, and estrangement. 

Likewise, God does not promise that we will be cured of all illnesses; and we all must face the inevitability of death. A Service of Healing is not necessarily a service of curing, but it provides an atmosphere in which healing can happen. The greatest healing of all is the reunion or reconciliation of a human being with God. When this happens, physical healing sometimes occurs, mental and emotional balance is often restored, spiritual health is enhanced, and relationships are healed. For the Christian the basic purpose of spiritual healing is to renew and strengthen one's relationship with the living Christ. 

Laying on of hands, and the less formal gesture of holding someone's hand all show the power of touch, which plays a central role in the healings recorded in the New Testament. Jesus often touched others—blessing children, washing feet, healing injuries or disease, and raising people from death. Biblical precedent combines with our natural desire to reach out to persons in need in prompting us to touch gently and lovingly those who ask for healing prayers. Such an act is a tangible expression of the presence of the healing Christ, working in and through those who minister in his name. 

 healing is also for persons grieving after loss of pregnancy, for persons going through divorce, for a person suffering from addiction or substance abuse, for a person with AIDS, for a person with life–threatening illness, and for a person in a coma or unable to communicate.

BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN... 

I have pondered this VERSE all of my life. Matthew 18:3, KJV: And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

When I was a kid, I went to a Catholic grade school. We went to mass often and most of the time, as a kid I didn't understand much of what was going on. But the repeated, "thou shalt not steal," caused me to pause. I needed my candy and I stole money from my brother and my mother to get it. It was a quarter or sometimes a dollar. When I was a kid that bought a lot of candy.

So, on the playground at lunch during school I asked, "God, I need my candy so maybe hell isn't so bad." I walked a little more and stopped. "Let me feel what hell is like so I can decide." I closed my eyes and instantly felt something I did not like and opened them quickly. "I don't want to go to hell!" I walked some more and talked to God and in all the serious kid talk I could summon, knowing it would be difficult to give up my candy. I asked God another question. "God? I am going to need a ticket to heaven, I do not think I can not be without my candy!" I walked around begging for a ticket to heaven and hoped He gave me one.

A little after that moment with God, I saved up some money. Probably not enough to replace what candy I had stolen. I ran into the store put the money on the counter and said "I owe you this!" And ran home. Not sure why this story came to mind while trying to explain what I feel being, childlike then you will enter the kingdom of heaven.

I heard his word, don't steal, I asked him for help, he answered with a scary feeling. I asked him to help me get to heaven with giving me a ticket. Then I walked the path He wanted and gave back the money. I never stole candy again. Did I get a ticket to heaven? Waiting to see. : )

A child has no worries and if does start to worry talks to parents for help. Then goes through a day with imagination and laughter and talks to God. At least I did and my children did.  

I feel faith, is what is being talked about in this verse. When we have faith or 'rely' on God for all in our life we become like children. For that is all children are, one big bubble of faith.

As soon as worry hits, pray and ask for help. As soon as fear finds, pray ask for help as soon as anything that this life can cause a negative with. Pray ask for help and walk the best you can through your day Loving God and loving people. Have complete faith in our Father. Rely on Him and His love, He is with us always. Drop the worries stop the sinning, walk with love and run in the sun of His love and forgiveness.

 

Matthew 7:7-8  

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 

God bless you with that wonderful peace from the Holy Spirit

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOUL AND SPIRIT / WE TRULY ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE/ THE HOLY TRINITY IMAGE! 

Well, well, guess what happened to me last night. I had a thought come to me, "what is the difference between the soul and spirit? Aren't they the same?"

Most of you probably already know, but I tell ya what, I googled and read and read and it still made no sense. I fell asleep with this lack of understanding running through my noggin and when I woke I understood. I dreamt of having a conversation about it all night. I assume with God, my question was being answered. So here I am to tell you once again of the difference. If you go to BENSEL VISION and scroll down to interpretation of that night of God talking to me. I put the difference as I feel I was taught while I slept.

I have a thought, also, on how we are truly made IN GOD'S IMAGE, literally. But first I will explain what I feel to understand as the difference between Soul and Spirit. Now mind you, I am not talking about The Holy Spirit, but I will involve Him also with this. It is really rather cool!

In the vision I had that night, part of it talks about 'God sleeping in my soul yet my spirit is singing'. There it is, the separation of the two. Again, most of you probably already knew this, so you can scroll on past all of this or go to another blog if you wish. We are all born with a soul, the image of God, the bit of energy from Him. But for those that didn't know and it is used in the Bible, here is one, our spirit is separate and has to be grown and is what helps us be able to hear Him and walk with Him through our lives.

Luke 1:46-47 

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,  47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Our souls are the human of us, the part made in God's image. And it is the emotions, love, we glorify God with our souls, but our spirit SPEAKS with the Lord. When we begin reaching for God, prayer, talking to, or have a strong desire to hear Him. Our 'spirit' begins its journey of growth within the soul. The soul is like a channel for our spirit. That is why it is so important to pray constantly or talk with God or think of Him. With each reach, our spirit grows in our souls. It is also called 'spirituality.' Also, it is important so we stay on path and do good and not bad stuff. Can't see it's bad unless you are tuned into His word and His will. Reading the Bible, reaching to understand,  we stay in tune with our spirit that is the communicator with God! Cool, huh? Well it is to me, it makes sense in so many ways. 

The more we pray and speak to God, the more our spirit grows in our soul and the more clearly we can 'hear' Him.

Life is a whole lot easier when you know how and what you are supposed to do and live here. So, as Mary said in Luke 1:46-47, her soul magnifies the Lord and her spirit rejoiced. If you google, there is a lot of help understanding it on the net, but it just didn't make sense until I woke after dreaming of talking about it all night and being shown.

HOW WE TRULY ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE

This came to me this morning while discussing my dream with Irene Baron. Truly, we are made in His image, in His Holy Trinity image!

Ponder this if you will. God is invisible, so he sent His Son Jesus, who is word made flesh/ God made flesh/ and The Holy Spirit.  I believe WE truly are made in the image of the HOLY TRINITY! God is the 'body', of the Holy Trinity, Jesus is the 'soul', which glorifies God like our 'soul' does, and the Holy Spirit is the 'spirit',. Just like we have our body, soul and spirit.

When God wants us to love Him, "with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength," our minds and heart and strength is 'the body, as God is the body of The Holy Trinity. Jesus, is the 'soul' of The Holy Trinity and The Holy Spirit is the 'spirit,' of the Holy Trinity! Do you see, that literally we are made in His image, the complete of The Holy Trinity is us! Whew that hurt my brain a bit.

I hope it makes sense. If it doesn't no worries! God created us with all the tools to live the life He wants us to live. We will reach for those specific tools when we know to reach. 

Talk to God everyday, The Lord, The Holy Spirit, God! As God showed me, while recording Mary Knew, by Irene Baron, for audio book. Jesus has been given all the power and glory through His sacrifice for us. He gets all the glory. Everything goes through Jesus who glorifies the Father! All has to go through Jesus, which we all know. You can't just pray to God. You have to bring Jesus into every prayer. 

To those that needed to hear this, yay us! To those that knew it already, why didn't you tell me! To those who are wonderfully enjoying the journey through and with love here, yay us again. 

Ask and you shall receive goes for everything. When you feel a need to understand something, start reading the Bible, researching on the net, and trust me, God will make it clear to you and a lot of times IN A DREAM!

He likes dream speak. Our subconscious is much more open than when our mind is desiring cinnamon toast and coffee. God bless all! And thank you for reading this cool moment. Well, it is cool to me!

 

 

THE LEVELS OF SPIRTUAL GROWTH ~ THE FIRST HELLO TO GOD 

INTO THE LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH
~The First Hello to God ~ 

THE BEGINNING   

Picture of Mitch Bensel's faceAs I have gone through my life, God has shown me the so many different levels of learning, how to hear Him, and how to do and know what is His will for me. How to know, I should say, He seems so quiet and yet He is always 'talking' to us in a way we learn to hear. But we will never hear Him if we do not begin the conversation.

Praying is talking to God. The simple thought of talking to or asking Him for help or giving Him thanks, is actually from our 'spirit' and is  opening a small line of light or a telephone line for communication and learning between you and Him.

When we reach for God it gives Him a chance to reply with teaching us. God is not intrusive and will never force His will on us. We have free will and choice. When we bring God into our daily moments, talk to Him, "Gosh, God I need help today.." He hears and begins the individual journey and path with us.

Everyone born has an individual journey with God and their own path with Him. My path is not yours or his or theirs. If you are a parent you see each child is different and you, as the parent, also teach each child in a different way to the same end, do we not?

An easy and simple way to see not to judge others, well we shouldn't because we are then condemned by the sin we are judging them of committing (Romans 2:1). But also, not to judge, for you have no idea of their path with God or at what level they are with Him spiritually.

When we first go to school we learn the basics, one plus one is two etc. We are on a simple beginner level in school. This is the same as when we begin our journey with God. We begin with learning His word, even though most, if not all, at first make no sense.

Have you ever wondered why so many things in the Bible make no sense to you? Then on any given day it is clear as a bright sunny day. When we learn 'one plus one is two,' we see the numbers and know the answer. If someone would throw down a calculus or any other advanced math problem, we would see numbers but not understand the problem. For we are still on one plus one equals two level.

As we reach, pray, and talk to God, we grow our spirit to become more familiar with His voice.  We learn or hear Him because we went to school ~ reached for Him ~ then learned, one plus one is two. He can begin to lift us to higher levels in spiritual understanding of Him and His word when WE reach to learn. Wanting to be closer to God will cause Him to help you do just that.

It is up to us to open for Him. Reach with all you can. Sharpen that pencil, eat a good breakfast put into your soul a desire to know Him and learn. I will be talking about the so many different levels and ways God does teach us in PART II : ) 

 

WHILE WALKING ON THE BEACH I ASKED GOD, "IF I AM A HEALER THEN I WANT TO FIND A HUGE AGATE!" AND HE ANSWERED..... 

HOW GOD TOLD ME I WAS A HEALER
as told to Irene Baron

On 19 November 2021, this true story was told to Irene Baron by Mitch Bensel. "As soon as I begin the prayer for healing, I am shown light moving within their body. The brighter the light in any part of their body, the more intense is the healing taking place."

The  healing light from God has created numerous miracles internationally for over 20 years. 

"I was on an Oregon beach with a friend who doesn’t share her rocks or any treasures she finds. They are hers.

I had been looking for rocks. The beach had many small ones scattered in the sand. So, while I was walking on the beach, I said, “Okay, God, if I’m a healer for you, I want to find a really big agate!.” 

Immediately, my friend reached toward me with a big rock. She lowered her head as though she was bowing, looking down to her feet. She extended her arm straight out to me with the rock in her hand and said, “This is yours.” 

It was a big geode with massive white quartz crystals throughout the center area. Not an agate, but still the largest cool rock on the beach! 

  She said, again, “This is yours.” 

  I took the rock from her and was skeptical. Coincidence possibly? So I asked again,  “Okay, God,  if I’m a healer, I want to find a blue rock with an “X”  on it. Knowing it wouldn’t happen, there were no blue rocks on this beach. 
God answered me. A foot in front of me was a small blue rock, I picked it up and there was a grey X on it. I was shocked. Those were two signs from God. 

The next day I was walking alone on the beach about 300 feet from the ocean. I turned around to walk back and there was a seal that wasn’t there a minute before.  It had brilliant blue eyes with a grey-black “X” between its eyes. I could feel vibrant energy coming off this seal. It was a joyous euphoric energy coming toward me.  I thought God was wanting me to heal it or something. I didn’t know what to do and the energy was overwhelmingly wonderful. 

The back of the white stone.I prayed over the seal and said, “I hope you feel better, but I’m not touching you.” I walked away talking to God all the time.  I took about eight steps and turned around to go back to the seal, but it was gone. There were no tracks of it going to the ocean. There was no way it could have gone all that distance back to  the ocean without me seeing it.  It just vanished, leaving me with a feeling of euphoria and great energy.  I don’t think seals have blue eyes. I realized God was telling me I was a healer. 

First was the big rock I asked for, the blue rock with an “X,” and then the seal with overwhelming beautiful energy coming from it, with an X between its eyes. The blue eyes had looked right at me. With the energy around it and all it encompassed, the air was alive. I knew as I walked that God showed me three signs to answer my question of me being a healer. 'I gotta’ do this. God wants me to do this.' 

That is the story of the rocks and when I questioned God as to whether I was  a healer for Him or not."

Irene Baron said this information about Mitch Bensel is fulfillment of the Revelation 2:17 prophecy. 

"Being given a white stone by God along with the unique gift of healing unlike any other on Earth as we know gives him a new name. "No man knoweth saving he that receiveth it" is the prophecy in The Bible's book of  Revelation 2:17  This correlation to the Revelation prophecy is discussed in her blog at:

END TIMES Part 1 BY Irene Baron 

END TIMES SIGNS - Part I 
by Irene Baron   1 April 2022

How God informed Mitch Bensel that he was to become a healer fulfills a prophecy in Revelation 2:17.
We are surely in the end times before the Rapture.

The realization of this fulfillment began before dawn on 21 March 2022. I followed my nudges to read the Biblical book of Revelation in the King James version by Tyndale House Publishers.

I read chapter one and began chapter two, stopping at verse 17. I couldn't believe my eyes and read it several more times. Until this time in my life, the verse made no impact. Today, it did. 

REVELATION 2: 17
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden 
manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name 
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 

What Apostle John wrote in Revelation 2:17 fits Mitch Bensel to a “T.” 

In my association with healer, Mitch Bensel, I have been told how he knew God wanted him to become a healer. He did not know until later in life he had been destined to work for our Lord God by having a holy birth.

The understanding of that verse in Revelation came upon me as I read it. To experience this understanding gave a thrill such as that associated with affirmation by the Holy Spirit. Those of you who have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit will know what I experienced. 

Explanation of the prophecy fulfillment:

The verse, “To him that overcometh,” I believe, refers to the difficult life Mitch has had and continues to have. After experiencing many temptations and hardships, he gave his life to God in 2021. He has had to overcome much put upon him by the unholy spirits wishing to stop him from serving God. 

In March 2022, he was told by one who knows that he will continue to be attacked by the dark forces because of what he accomplishes to help his Heavenly Father.  To be continually attacked and survive horrific satanic assaults on his life and body may have made his body weak, but his mind is rich and full of the love for God and His Son, Jesus Immanuel, The Christ. Please know that as I write this, destructive things are happening on my computer that have not occurred previously. These events make me think that dark spirits do not want his holy gift revealed to the world. 

In the verse, “…will I give to eat of the hidden manna,…” I use the commonly recognized definition of manna that is, “an unexpected or gratuitous benefit.”  Gratuitous is defined as “given or done free of charge.” 

That “manna” or gratuitous gift given to Mitch Bensel has been a form of healing unlike any other existing on this Earth that we know of. 

Mitch Bensel, from wherever he is located, can gently and quietly initiate God’s healing light through The Holy Spirit by prayer. This healing can instantly move to any location on the Earth at the speed of light. He does not advertise nor charge for his healing. When asked about it, he replied, “How can you charge for something from God?” 

What is miraculous is how he is currently being taught many applications of the healings. He is also being given experiences of different forms of mass healings of persons around the world. 

When he was suspected of having a cancerous mass within his body in the last year, I prayed to God and His Son, Jesus Immanuel, that the mass not be cancer.  Sometimes, during my life, I have been spoken to during prayer and visions. During that prayer I was told in an angelic man’s voice, “HE IS NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.” I knew then his mass would not be cancer and he was going to live. Whatever is going to happen in the future, God is going to use Mitch Bensel to help others around the world. The question is, what is going to happen that mass healings will be needed? 

Using his gift of healing through The Holy Spirit, Mitch Bensel has instantly healed quadriplegics, reversed COPD, chronic pain, afflictions, and many forms of illness unable to be cured by the medical profession.  He healed seven splayed disks in my back, the torn meniscus in each of my knees, arthritis of my hands, damage to my left thumb, and given me peace of mind. 

In the verse, “…and will give him a white stone,…” two miracles occurred to Mitch Bensel involving his being given a white stone. They happened on a beach in Oregon when he asked of our Lord God whether or not he was truly to be a healer. 

In one of my blogs I related what occurred. What follows is an excerpt from that blog in Mitch’s words. https://irenebaron.com/irene-baron-blog/blog/mitch-bensel-part-ii-how-god-told-me-to-be-a-healer 

Mitch said:

"I was on an Oregon beach with a friend who doesn’t share her rocks or any treasures she finds. They are hers. 

As I was walking, I decided to ask God if I was really a healer because of the many miracles where people were healed in my life.  I thought it was prayer that did it. I had been looking for rocks. The beach had many small ones scattered in the sand. So, while I was walking on the beach, I said, ‘Okay, God, if I’m a healer for you, I want to find a really big agate!’ 

Immediately, my friend reached toward me with a big rock. She lowered her head as though she was bowing, looking down to her feet. She extended her arm straight out to me with the rock in her hand and said, “This is yours.” 

It was a big geode with massive white quartz crystals throughout the center area. Not an agate, but still the largest cool rock on the beach! 

She said, again, “This is yours.” 

I took the rock from her and was skeptical. Coincidence possibly? So I asked again, “Okay, God,  if I’m a healer, I want to find a blue rock with an “X”  on it. Knowing it wouldn’t happen, there were no blue rocks on this beach. 

God answered me. In front of me was a small blue rock, I picked it up and there was a grey X on it. I was shocked. Those were two signs from God.” 

Thus is the truth of how Mitch Bensel was given a white stone from God. 

In the verse section, “…and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it,” Mitch Bensel knew by receiving affirmation of being a healer for God, his name was “healer.” 

What no one “knoweth” was that the gift of healing he received from the Holy Spirit before he was born was unlike any other type of healing that existed on Earth that we know of.

No other human that we know of has had the gift from the Holy Spirit, to heal individuals or masses of others like Mitch Bensel. He has had the healing gift since birth and sent healing as a child. Working in a major hospital trauma unit, he secretly healed patients with whom he worked.

His healings have always been quietly sent. However, In 2021, Bensel said after he gave his life to God, he was nudged to make them loud. He thus turned to the Methodist Church ministries, the healing churches. His first public healing was at Coburn UM Church in Zanesville, Ohio in September 2021. His second at that same church is scheduled for 22 May 2022 at 6 p.m. 

Bensel does not have to see those whom he heals, touch them, or know where they are on this Earth. He only has to be told WHO they are. Omnipotent God knows who every person was and is whom Mitch heals and what healing they

are to receive in His time.  Mitch says all healing is given in God’s time. 

As Mitch’s form of healing through the Holy Spirit continued, he was taught to refine it and be used by The Holy Spirit as needed. In early 2022, he was nudged to send healing to Covid-19 victims around the world. He initiated the healing that was sent out and it continued to be sent. In his past, the energy of God’s healing light would take different amounts of time to different people, depending upon what they needed, usually several seconds. 

On this day, when he began to send the healing through The Holy Spirit, the healing sends continued. The Holy Spirit sent healing unceasingly for over two days. Throughout that time, even while sleeping, God’s healing light was moving out into the world. Mitch was shown light moving throughout the world and could feel the energy move to reach others.  It was the most massive amount of healing he had every experienced in one 48+ hours of sending. Like all the healing he experienced, it took no energy on his part.  It took only his thought to do so. Once this Covid-19 healing began, it had to touch so many Covid-19 victims that it continued over two days. 

Many persons Mitch has cured in the past had no idea they were being healed or that he was a healer. No matter where he was located, as he saw people of all ages in pain or crippled, he  anonymously sent them healing. 

When he worked over 20-years in a trauma unit in a major hospital, no one on the staff or any patient had any idea they were being healed though his prayers or that he was a healer. He secretly initiated healing to many, the healing unknown to anyone but himself, The Holy Spirit, and God. 

Many types of his hospital experiences during those many years which are  told in one of his many books, “Trauma is my business – ER Journal -Based in Real Events.”

Mitch Bensel always healed quietly, his gift being shared among those who needed healing by word of mouth. 

People may contact Mitch Bensel through email for healing at : mitchbensel@mitchbensel.com.

Thus, one verse in Revelation (Chapter 2, verse 17) has been interpreted by me and explained. I thought, who else has ever received a large white stone?  Everything in that verse points to Mitch Bensel!

What I have stated about occurrences in the life of Mitch Bensel is truth. Whether Revelation is referring to Mitch Bensel in these end times will be debated. Pray to God to discern whether this is true. I will appreciate your comments.

Something most people don’t realize is that Mitch has begun a new ministry. He is creating crosses from driftwood found along the Ohio River. When the crosses are finished, he asks God to bless them with what the purchaser needs, usually for protection, safety, and peace. He asks God to Bless the buyer also. He is shown the cross on a wall in a home, then shown fear, pain, arguments or whatever that home needs help with. The light of God's love is put upon the cross. It is still just wood in the shape of the cross the symbol of love and sacrifice. People that have the Bensel cross state it brings peace, or it glows, or it lifts their spirits just with a glance upon them. Some feel energy of warmth or calmness fall away from it through the room.

They will soon be available on this website store and are currently sold on Etsy at Mitch Bensel Treasures. Testimonies received of the miracles that have happened with the crosses in their final home or while on the way to their “home” are spectacular and will soon be posted on this website.
