What does giving up Benjamin mean? As long as Jacob held on to his youngest son, Benjamin, God couldn’t bless him the way He wanted. Jacob tied the hands of God by holding on to Benjamin. Finally out of desperation he gave up Benjamin, and then the blessing came.

Do you have a Benjamin in your life that stands between you and God? Are you desperate enough to give up your Benjamin? When you give up Benjamin it means you have given up everything and put it all into the hands of God. Benjamin is the last thing you have to give up. Are you desperate enough for more of God, for more of His love, for more of His faith and grace? Will you give up Benjamin for these things? The Lord accepts nothing less than giving up Benjamin. This is no time for talk; the hour is too late. It’s time for action.

Joseph Sold as a Slave

In the book of Genesis is a remarkable story. I’ve read it again and again. When I was a little boy I thought it was marvelous, the story of Joseph. I went with him into slavery; I rejoiced when he was delivered. How good God was to him!

Famine was in the land of Canaan, but in Egypt there was plenty. Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him (Genesis 42:1-4).

Joseph Talked Roughly to His Brothers

The brothers went to Egypt for corn and ran into problems. Joseph, the brother they had sold into slavery, was now second only to Pharaoh in Egypt and in charge of distributing the corn. Through an interpreter, Joseph talked roughly to them. He spoke the tongue of the Egyptians fluently, but the brothers, not recognizing that he was Joseph, didn’t know he understood what they said. They assumed he was Egyptian.

Although they didn’t recognize Joseph, he recognized them, and was going to test them, making sure they had love for Benjamin, that they weren’t jealous of him or would sell him into slavery the way they had sold him. Joseph insisted they bring their brother Benjamin with them the next time they came for corn. For insurance, Joseph kept Simeon in Egypt until they did. When the rest of the brothers went back to Canaan, they told their father what had happened.

And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me. And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother [Joseph] is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave (Genesis 42:36,38). None of them knew that Joseph was alive, and Jacob was not about to let Benjamin leave him.

The Golden Calf Was Israel’s Benjamin

A Benjamin can rob you of all the blessings of God, rob you of your very soul. A Benjamin has destroyed many, many people. Benjamin destroyed the Israelite people to the extent that after they left Egypt, all those twenty years old and older were kept from entering the land of Canaan and they died in the wilderness. In eleven days they could have been in Canaan, but they had Benjamin with them and they were destroyed.

God had given Israel favor to borrow the finest clothes and jewels of the Egyptians. The riches of Egypt were theirs on purpose to bless them, but those riches became a Benjamin to them. Slaves in bondage, they never had been rich; and now with a chance at freedom, they fell in love with Benjamin and couldn’t give him up.

The wealth the Lord had given them they turned into a golden calf, one of Israel’s Benjamins. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt (Exodus 32:7,8).

When you refuse to give up your Benjamin, God is not going to look your way very much. Finally, He won’t look at all.

The Wife Jacob Loved

Jacob worked seven years to have Rachel for his wife; because of the love he had for her, the time seemed to pass quickly. However, when the marriage finally took place, Jacob found he had been deceived and was married to Rachel’s sister Leah instead. Then he had to work seven more years for Rachel. Two children, Joseph and Benjamin, were born to Rachel and Jacob, but as they were en route back to Canaan, Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin. Jacob never recovered from her death.

The brothers all knew that their father’s whole heart went out to Joseph; Jacob even had a coat of many colors made for his favorite son, a beautiful grace coat. The jealous brothers sold Joseph into bondage, killed an animal and put its blood on the coat of many colors to make Jacob think Joseph had been killed by a wild animal. Only one brother, Ruben, tried to save Joseph, but the others didn’t listen to him. They had no heart, no love. Jacob thought Joseph was dead and only Benjamin was left. Jacob groaned over Joseph. Exactly what had happened, the brothers would never tell him.

Had Jacob been the father he should have been, he wouldn’t have caused such jealousy among the brothers. Joseph didn’t have the spirit of jealousy; he had the spirit of his mother, Rachel. Jacob loved that spirit, but he didn’t take it on. He just wanted to love what she produced. It could have been a different story for Israel had Jacob not held so tightly to Benjamin.

Jacob devoted his very life to Benjamin, neglecting to give his other sons love. Some of those sons didn’t turn out very well, and it probably was Jacob’s fault. A deceiver, Jacob had been through a lot, but the Lord had forgiven him, blessed him and helped him. Still he wouldn’t give up Benjamin. Benjamin took him over.

Joseph Made the Best of His Situation

Imagine the darkness that Joseph endured, the agony of soul! Slave to the Egyptian Potiphar, Joseph was trusted with the household affairs. But when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him, he ran, leaving his cloak behind. He was pure and clean and intended to stay that way. Potiphar’s wife lied about the incident to her husband, and Joseph was put into prison. How grievous it must have been for Joseph in that prison! But God was with him. In due time, God would raise him up to be second in power to Pharaoh in the Kingdom of Egypt. God gave him great influence and power, yet Joseph, humble, had no ego about that power.

Does Anything Influence You More than God?

Jacob was determined not to give up Benjamin for anything. No one was going to take Benjamin from him. You can hold on to a person or a possession that has more influence over you than God has. Consider how much you have hindered yourself by holding on to something you wanted, letting it come between you and God. Perhaps it was a person, a possession, a hope—anything separating you and God is wrong, no matter what it is.

Jesus Brought Perfect Obedience

God told Israel that their iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah 59:2). Not only sin but disobedience can separate you from God. Clinging to a matter, holding it between you and God is not perfect obedience, not the obedience that Jesus brought, not the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus, being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8). When you receive salvation, you are supposed to take on the spirit of obedience from Heaven. Through the Cross that spirit of obedience comes.

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2). For the joy of knowing that souls would be brought into the Kingdom of God because of His sacrifice, Jesus endured the Cross. What a hideous death it was, a death Jesus despised, yet He faced it for all mankind. What an obedient Christ who paid such an unthinkable price!

What about your obedience? Do you have that divine obedient spirit? If not, you have the spirit of disobedience. When you don’t have the spirit of love, you have the spirit of hatred; without the spirit of faith you have the spirit of doubt. So it goes, on and on with no in-between. You are either with God or away from Him.

Self Was Tightly Wedged

Are you following Jesus afar off as Peter did at the Crucifixion? It brought about great trouble; Peter backslid, cursing and denying the Savior of the world. Not obedient to the voice of the Lord, Peter had self tightly wedged between him and Jesus. Self brought fear and kept Peter from standing up for Jesus—after he had declared that he was ready to die for Him. Later when he got self out of the way, Peter went to the Upper Room and was baptized in the Holy Ghost and fire. Now he stood up, not knowing whether he would be killed for the sake of Christ; but it didn’t make any difference to him.

Paul Led a Perilous Life

When you have everything out of the way between you and Jesus, you know with Paul that for to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith (Philippians 1:21,23-25). Paul was ready to go to Heaven to be with Jesus, but he knew his work wasn’t finished. He counted no benefit greater than spreading the glorious message of Christ.

Paul was punished, tortured, tormented in various ways; no one but Jesus had suffered more than Paul. He said he was in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands (II Corinthians 11:23-28,32,33).

Paul has been with the Lord now for almost 2,000 years, but he had to give up his Benjamins: education, wealth, high position as a Pharisee, and his pursuit and persecution of Christians. Ego made him think he was special when, in fact, he was less than nothing, thinking that putting Christians to death was the will of God. That’s the state of mind you can arrive at when you have Benjamins between you and your Lord.

The Lord wants you to examine yourself. Don’t be deceived thinking you have no block between you and the Lord when you do. Make sure no Benjamins are there—if you want to make it all the way to Rapture ground and be changed in a moment and the twinkling of an eye. Having a Benjamin between you and the Master means you won’t be changed. No matter how you feel, get rid of all the Benjamins and cling to the spiritual things of the Lord.

Jacob Thought He Would Die without Benjamin

The ruler of Egypt told Jacob’s sons not to come back unless they brought their youngest brother. And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food. And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down (Genesis 43:2-7)? The ruler asked us about Benjamin, the brothers said. He even asked if you were still alive, and we had to tell him.

Jacob wanted them to go back to Egypt and get more corn, but they couldn’t go without Benjamin. Jacob thought he would die without Benjamin, and that’s the way some of you have been. You would rather die than give up a person or possession that stands between you and the Lord. It will be a death when you die to self, but it’s a death that will resurrect you into a life with God. Not until you die completely to self are you really living for God. Until you please Him in everything, you’re not pleasing Him, for you don’t have that faith to surrender Benjamin.

Do You Have a Benjamin?

Some people deceive themselves, letting people, possessions or concerns come between them and the Lord Jesus. As the song goes, “Nothing between my soul and my Savior.” People sing that song, and yet it’s not true for so many.

Do you have anything between your soul and your Savior? If so, what is it? Is it worth missing the great favors of God in this final hour? Is it worth not getting more spiritual food? Is it worth going without the blessings of Heaven? No more corn unless you give up Benjamin.

Do you have a Benjamin to give up? Make sure you don’t have one, that it cannot hold you back, cannot influence you. You’ve come to the place that if you want to be in the bridal company on your way into God’s living reality, onto Rapture ground, you have to give up Benjamin.

Do others influence you to fail God in any way? If so, that’s a Benjamin and it can poison your whole system, cause you to miss the Rapture. Maybe you’re holding onto only one thing. Jesus told a young man, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me (Mark 10:21). The Lord was testing him; the young man wouldn’t have had to give it all away, just part. He was very rich, and his Benjamin was the riches he wasn’t about to part with. In great sorrow he went away from Jesus because of his wealth.

Many people die clutching a Benjamin that could never take them into Heaven. Only through divine blood can you get in. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Only Jesus can save. “I am the way,” He said. He is the way to Heaven; He is truth, life. If you have a Benjamin, there is something between you and the truth, between you and God’s love, strength and faith. What is that Benjamin? Is keeping it worth not being fed by the Spirit? And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God (Luke 4:4).

Run the Race!

Lay aside all the Benjamins and follow Jesus. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1). Run the race in God’s patience, run in trust, grace, love, faith, peace, determination, great courage and humility. Run the race! We’re surrounded by many witnesses in this hour, and let us lay aside every Benjamin, for that’s the only way we can run this race. You will not get the reward the Lord has for you unless you give up Benjamin.

The Lord gave me this message to prepare you to finish evangelizing the world and to be ready for the Rapture. If you don’t give up Benjamin now, you can have him in the Tribulation Period; then the Lord won’t care. You can hold on to Benjamin just as much as you want, but know that when you do, you have your back to the Lord. You’re not looking unto Jesus. He said, Follow thou me; however, you aren’t following Him; you’re following Benjamin.

What Would You Give for Your Soul?

Not giving up Benjamin was all Jacob could think of. His heart, his love was set on his youngest son. Benjamin had been his peace day and night. There was no life for him without Benjamin. Some of you have felt the same way about giving up your Benjamin. I can’t give that one up! I would just die if I did. I can’t put that person on the altar for God to deal with. Some of you know your Benjamin is not living right, not serving God; but you can’t give that one up. One day you will wish you had.

To learn the wonderful news that his son Joseph was still alive, Jacob had to give up Benjamin. God would see that Jacob wouldn’t get that news until he did. Some of you don’t have answered prayer because you won’t give up your Benjamin.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul (Matthew 16:26)? What shall a man gain if he lets any Benjamin stand between him and God? What is it worth holding to people or possessions that would cause you to lose your soul? What would you give up for your soul? You had better give up Benjamin.

Many have had a Benjamin, and because of it, they will never see Heaven. No matter what the Benjamin was that they had, it wasn’t worth it.

Jacob Lined Up His Family

Years earlier when Jacob was returning to his own country and heard that his brother Esau was on his way with four hundred men to meet him, he lined up his family in order of their importance to him. And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost (Genesis 33:1-2). Rachel and Joseph were in the back, the safest place.

Jacob, not knowing whether or not Esau still intended to kill him for taking his birthright, was planning to escape with the ones in the back if necessary. Where was his trust in the God of Abraham and in the angel of the Lord? Where was his belief in the will of God? Where was his faith in the God who had met him at Bethel when he placed stones for his pillow?

While he was yet unmarried, Jacob fled from Esau, who had threatened to kill him. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of (Genesis 28:11-15). Who is the God who brought you back, Jacob? Were you going to serve Him? You think paying tithes and giving unto God is service; but He wants your mind, your heart, your life, as well. He wants you to have a gentle, lovable spirit like Rachel had, the spirit that was in both her children.

Jacob didn’t have to fear Esau, didn’t have to line up his family in order of preference. Esau met him cordially.

At Last Jacob Gave Up Benjamin

Finally when Jacob and his family were on the verge of starving, he gave up Benjamin. God has to bring some people mighty low before they yield to His will. His love for Benjamin had robbed Jacob for years. When Benjamin finally got to Egypt, he was grown and had children of his own. There wasn’t that much difference between the ages of Joseph and Benjamin.

Then when Benjamin and his brothers were leaving Egypt to go back home with corn, Joseph’s cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. Joseph had given his men this instruction: And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

Joseph said, The man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant (Genesis 44:2,4,12,17).

Judah insisted on being Benjamin’s security, on taking his place so that Benjamin could return to his father. Judah told Joseph: Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father (Genesis 44:30-34).

Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren (Genesis 45:1).

Jacob was dead holding on to Benjamin, he had died to the love, the grace of God’s power and blessings. But when he gave up Benjamin, the resurrection came. Had Joseph with his beautiful, forgiving spirit not been sent ahead to be the savior in time of great famine, it would have been disaster for Jacob and his family. Not until Jacob gave up Benjamin did he receive the great blessing of finding that his beloved son Joseph was alive and well. Keep this in mind. Jacob had Benjamin, but Joseph had God. See the difference?

What do you have? The things you think will kill you can bring you life. You may already be dead and don’t know it, but the Lord is trying to resurrect you from your old, dead self. You either have God or Benjamin. You can’t have both.

What Are Your Ambitions?

Are you one who has to be brought low before you give up your Benjamin, before you surrender all to the Lord? What are your ambitions in life? I died to all of mine. There was something I longed to be and had talent for it, but when I found Jesus, that desire melted like a snowflake in the hot summer to never come back. Everything of the world went when I found Jesus. I didn’t leave that altar with one tiny Benjamin. The Benjamins were all pushed aside, cleared out and destroyed from my mind. It can be that way with you as well, but some of you have struggled and struggled and still wonder what’s wrong. It’s your Benjamin. God wants you to know that.

Are you clinging to your Benjamin, thinking you cannot possibly give it up? You can give up anyone and anything for Jesus Christ. He is that powerful, that lovable, that great. He made the ultimate sacrifice for you at Calvary. He is your life, your passport to Heaven.

Do you have a Benjamin that has caused you to fail God in your fasting, in your prayer life, in your complete surrender to the Lord? Do you have plenty of talk but no action when it comes to obeying the Lord? How much do you love the Lord? What will you give up for Him in this final hour? What will you give up for a lost world, for those who can be brought to the Lord? Over six billion people are on Earth; Jesus died for them all. How stirred are you at the thought of winning souls for Him? Do you really carry a burden for the lost? Do you cry out to God all hours to save the lost at any cost? Do you really mean you will pay any price to win them?

Pay Any Price to Win the Lost

I told the Lord I would pay any price to win the lost. Angel used to cry when I would be fasting so much and ask, “Honey, what does the Lord expect from you?” It must have seemed to her that I’d never eat again. It was difficult for her to see the hard, hard way the Lord brought me. We were fighting the devil for this work, fighting outside people, fighting some who had come in to cause trouble. Determined to build the kind of work that God wanted, we paid the price. I promised God I would pay any price to win the lost. I promised Him that if He would give me the gift of discerning, I’d uncover the devil no matter the cost. It cost plenty, almost my life, but thank God I didn’t back down and I’m never going to back down. I will have no Benjamins to hinder me, to hold me back. They have no power over the power of God whatsoever.

Do You Seek to Justify Your Actions and Opinions?

Does any Benjamin have power over you? If so, break that power through the divine blood of Jesus, through the power of the Lord. Get rid of it once and forever; you should have done it when you were saved. You don’t know all that God knows about you or all He lets me know. Some of you carry bitterness, grudges, spite. You slander people with your gossip, damaging another’s character. Others of you continue to gossip, hanging yourself with your own tongue. You’re pathetic. You go into the wrong spirit and refuse to be corrected.

There are those of you who make appointments with one of the pastors here at Grace, don’t like what he tells you and so you go to another pastor, get upset because he doesn’t agree with you either when he tells you the truth, trying to help you. Going from pastor to pastor and turning a deaf ear to the truth, you hope to have your actions justified so you won’t have to give up Benjamin. But you are not justified; you are wrong. Make up your mind. There is no need to go from preacher to preacher looking for one to tell you that your Benjamins are just fine. God can’t help you until you’re willing to give up your Benjamins. If you are not happy in the Lord, it’s because you’re being robbed by the Benjamin you’re holding on to.

Let the Lord Change Your Thinking

Is God really first in your life? Would you give up everyone and everything before you would give up Jesus, even your very life? Before you give up your Benjamin, your thinking must change. The Lord is trying to free you from your Benjamin. You who have really given up Benjamin, no longer cater to him. No matter who forsakes you, know that the Lord will take you up. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up (Psalm 27:10).

You don’t have to be afraid to serve the Lord and walk with Jesus all the way. What will you give up? Where are you today? What are you holding on to? Many of you are not holding on to anything other than the Lord, and He is blessing you. But a few of you have a Benjamin, and God knows it. Some of you young people are in trouble because you won’t give up Benjamin; you really don’t want the will of God and yet you don’t want to go to hell. There you are with a gulf between you and the Lord. A Benjamin of self is causing it. You may well destroy your life the way others have done. Some have left the Lord because they had a Benjamin, and they lost Heaven.

Seek to Please God

A Benjamin can be lust of the flesh; it can be many different things; it appears in all kinds of shapes, colors and fashions. The devil uses Benjamin to rob people of the greatness of God, rob them of His promises and rob them of Heaven. God help us to give up everything that would interfere with serving Him! It’s when we give up all hindrances that the Lord can give us everything He wants to. Had God not pleaded with you and shown you great love, you already might be in hell. He is so patient, so kind, so tender that He keeps forgiving you for turning your back on Him and bowing down to Benjamin.

Think of the sorrow you cause Heaven by not pleasing God, not reaping His many benefits. When you please God, you have nothing to worry about, nothing to fear. Every time you look, God is on the throne for you. However, if you have a Benjamin between you and God, your spiritual vision is limited, neither can you hear what the Spirit is saying; Benjamin has given you blindness, deafness, and caused you to become crippled spiritually so you can’t walk in the steps of Jesus.

Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: Many of you have hindered my hands in serving you. Many of you have delayed the answers to your prayers again and again because you held onto Benjamin. You would not surrender. You would not give over to my will. As long as you hold to Benjamin, you will not give over to my Word, to my truth. When you give over to my truth like you should give over to my truth, then there will be no room for Benjamin and you will give up all for me and you will deny yourself and you will follow in my truth and walk after me. Walk after me and even run after me in this final hour because I am drawing on you; I am drawing; I am drawing on you. The Bride will run after her Lord in this last and final hour. I am calling to you to help you in every way I can help you. I am offering you all of my greatness, all of my love that you need, all of my faith that you need. I am offering you everything that you need so you can be all that I need, saith the Lord.

Lift up your hands in praise for the blood that stained the Old Rugged Cross. Lift up your hands and take in the reality of Jesus. All the way to Calvary He went to set you free; He couldn’t set you free until He went to Calvary. Now through the Spirit and the Blood, through the spirit of obedience, be willing to get rid of that Benjamin—if you have one. The Lord wants you to give up Benjamin so He can bless you, use you, use those two hands in His great outreach to bring in the final harvest.

Prayer for Salvation and Healing

If you don’t have Jesus in your life, won’t you pray the sinners’ prayer with me now? Oh, God, I’m lost. I’m so sorry I have failed you. Lord, I want all the Benjamins out of my life so I can serve you the rest of my life. I love you, Lord. Forgive me of my sins and wash them all away with your precious blood. I believe in your blood; I believe you died for me, and now I will live for you. Come into my heart, Jesus! Lord, come into my heart.

If you meant that prayer, the Lord has come into your heart, made you a new creature in Him. Serve Him, read your Bible, pray much knowing He hears your every prayer, and some Bible fasting will help you.

You who need healing, agree with me now in prayer. I’m not the healer, but I believe in the power of prayer. Jesus is the healer. Lord, I bring the cancer patients, the heart patients, the diabetics, the paralytics, those who are crippled in any way, those with HIV/AIDS, those in need of healing no matter the problem. I bring them all. I bring the babies, the little ones born with just part of a brain. You have healed so many of these conditions, and I believe, Lord, that you will do it again. Heal! Heal! in the holy name of the Lord! Heal, I pray.

The healing power is flowing. Don’t you feel His presence now? The Holy Spirit is injecting the greatness of God into your body or into the body of one you have prayed for if you believe this prayer. Watch yourself or your loved one get well. Know that great victory is yours in this last and final hour, victory that will come through the power of the Holy Ghost when you leave your Benjamin behind. The Lord is reaching to you with armfuls of blessings on purpose. Don’t turn Him away.

I am here, saith the Lord. I gave this message special for you. Search your heart, search your heart for Benjamin. Search your heart and you’ll either find your Lord or Benjamin. Search and face the fact of what you find in your heart and who you find, saith the Lord. I gave my whole heart for you on Calvary; you must give your whole heart to me. You must win the lost at any cost.
