I was going to fix a screen, one of the panels had separated from the other panel. I walked to my drawer of tools where I work on crosses and stood there a moment. I forgot what I was going to do.. I looked in the drawer and thought,, “what was I going to do?” I stayed there and looked at all my tools, I wasn’t currently working on a cross, so it wasn’t that.. then I glanced around and saw nails on a shelf. “I remember, I was going to fix that screen and needed my hammer!”  

Going to the bible like me going to my drawer of tools, but forgetting what I was looking for. We read not knowing When God will let us ‘see’ or ‘hear’ what we need to learn.  While reading the bible, Like me going to my tools, looking in the drawer but forgetting why I was there. I knew the ‘tool’ was in that drawer, but forgot why. The bible is the ‘tool’ for us to learn what is a sin and to live in His word.

When we open the bible, we truly do not know what God will show us. Then, we read scripture which we learn and can now walk in His light through our day. We have the ‘tool’ /His word/ to impart in the way needed, that word of God through life gently with love.

Keep thinking about your actions. Keep questioning those actions, where the Holy Spirit is saying “whoa.. buddy.. don’t do that” with a feeling of.. not good.

When we get closer to the Lord, understanding His will He imparts onto us the understanding to allow the Holy Spirit to work through us.  We begin to feel the slightest dark shade from a sin.. could have been a thought of judgment of someone or wishing something not good on someone.  

The CLOSER you get to the Lord and your path of walking and working for Him.. what was the subtle sin you didnt know or feel it was wrong.. becomes a literal feeling of the loss of light in your soul.. there is a tangible palpable feeling of Gods Presence with the Holy Spirit in all .. but the more you learn and the less you sin.. the stronger the light flows through you.

 That is the peace of the Lord.. the peace from the Holy Spirit where doesnt matter what is happening in your world, He will take you through it without fear, pain or sadness.  When one sins at that level the lack of brilliance is shown there is a shade to the feeling of God within you.  The Holy Spirit is still His bright self.. but the sin has put a black umbrella  up blocking light to a part of your soul…

Brothers and sisters,, I have lived a life of many sins.. after some not good things happened to me ..I went crazy in the world grabbing any pleasure I could. I didn’t care how vile it was, I was reaching for love, for pleasure to feel good to cover my pain from life.

Through my broken soul and heart, I reached for God. with each thought and reach He answered. Life was not easier, yet. I am a healing minister for God now. Always was, prayed and knew miracles happened but I was still walking through not a good place and away from God. Walking the line, being a hypocrite.. but I had to get to that point before I could even learn that is what I was doing.

We learn in seasons and levels through this physical flesh and life. When we always try to learn His way. When we read the bible.. walk the best we can.. He becomes louder in our whole existence.     WE still HAVE free will.. and the enemy is always whispering.. unless and until you rebuke and turn to God.. we are blessed we have 3 in one…..shows how intricately involved God is with us.. there is the comforter…always with us . the holy spirit.. there is Jesus, word in flesh who became the filth of life and allowed the devil to rip Him apart and mock him.. we have the Father.. who loves us so much     He gave Jesus. His only 

Son      so we..      only… so we wouldn’t be damned forever.

Hell must be pretty real, and very bad for the Father, who allows free will, sent Jesus to be the sacrifice for us. God the Father knows what it takes to grow spirit, to clean soul and spirit to be with Him. We cannot understand or fathom the reasonings of a sacrifice to be made..   or suffering here    why? Why, because the Father knows how to grow the spirit to be able to have the energy levels of love and purity to be in heaven and walk with Him.  

There are different levels of energy with every action. Love’s energy is beyond different from anger. hatred, vile, just plain evil actions.. that energy cannot exist in heaven.  The waves cannot exist in heaven.

So, trust the Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit the comforter indwelling in all of us. And step up into a light that has energy of forever love  and step away from that energy of evil where the vibrations of such in your soul, will keep you from being in heaven. 

Listen to the teacher! listen to the Father.. listen to His son! Jesus literally bled and suffered on a tree to save us………. has to be serious and scary

God bless you with His presence

Mitch Bensel

We walk the best we can in God's glory. We read the bible, we pray for people, we give our lives to God, to Jesus to the Holy Spirit, then we sin.  Is a moment of an old path, familiar and vile but we rationalize it is ok, we know God loves us and it cant be that bad. But, every sin is bad. The small one of lying to the horrible one of murder. Oh, not the murder of flesh, but the assassination of their integrity and their reputation.

God abhors bearing false witness against another, it is considered murder. But Mitch, c'mon he is just a bad guy and gossips also. A sin, any sin is massive in the eyes of our Lord. Jesus had to suffer more than we can ever understand, so we can be forgiven, again and again for sinning.

I do not care how close or far away from God you are, a sin hits the soul with a vile black drop. Each sin that occurs and we do not ask forgiveness we do not repent/ change mind/ and denounce/ don'd do it anymore, it begins a huge eclipse of God's vision upon us. God sees all the evil and the good, Proverbs 15;3. but He will not ‘hear’ us. John 9:31. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

So when we sin again, get to a quiet place and talk with God. Let Him see you want to stop, we want to be what He needs, we want His love and light to shine on all we are around.

Is easy to fail, and is easy to ask forgiveness. When we stop asking and trying not to sin, is when our souls are doomed to a forever suffering in hell. Matthew 25;41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels

God bless you

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-

One way to see this. Think of sin as gaining weight, with each pound gained we get larger, unable to fit through the narrow gate of heaven. God's word is healthy, keeps us thin enough to fit. When we ask forgiveness it is like a diet pill. Slowly there will be a change, as soon as repentance and denouncing the sin occurs, we are removed the weight, the sin.

Another way:

I recently stumbled, a nice way to put when one sins when trying to walk the path of holy and with God. “Mitch, just repent and renounce.”  Yes this is true God does forgive because of Jesus's sacrifice for us we can be forgiven. 

The narrow gate and road to heaven is truly very simply put and done by our God. When we stay the path with His word, His commandments we are immediately on the narrow road. When we sin, which truly we are walking sinners but when we ‘stumble’ we know to ask forgiveness and renounce it and not do it again. 

The tempters are tenacious and never stopping their whispering temptations into your ear. Have you ever noticed you are going about your normal day, then out of the blue in the literal middle of a conversation or sitting with friends you feel you need a drink. Everyone of us has their weaknesses, mine was a bit of drink which lead to other easy to fall into sins. Something about sinning, it is always easy to do. Something about walking the path God wants, it is always difficult to do. Because we have not gotten close enough into His word to strengthen our ‘spiritual muscle,’ if you will and the tempter is the Prince of this world he makes the pleasures more pleasurable.

Out of the literal blue you want a drink or someone who has been pushing you and pushing you but you have relaxed and forgiven them. You snap, then in anger curse at them! Two sins right there, anger and foul language. 

 “No, Mitch that is just life and being a human.” That thought of it being a human having anger and cursing at someone is natural is also from the enemy. God hates anger and foul language. 

Colossians 3:8 - 3:10

⁸ But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

We carry on with our day and some time goes by, “oh, i can have just one shot of tequila.” After half a bottle and another sin added to it, we stumbled again. We ask forgiveness and beg to have help not to fail anymore. 

With each stumble it is like driving down our Lord's narrow road to Heaven and we swerve a little. We hit those warning ridges that cause us to pull back onto the road. Those warning ridges are the Holy Spirit convicting us, letting us know we are doing wrong. Now, back on the easy narrow road, it is easy if you stay in His word and obey His commandments, which is very obvious it is not easy for humans. 

The next stumble, which is the 5th in as many months, guess what happens. The warning ridges begin to wear away. They are being run over too often and start to smooth. We stop feeling any conviction of wrong doing, rationalizing it as just life and we are good people God knows our hearts. 

With every continuing sin, a side road is formed, so we have room to keep living a sinful life and feel, “I love God, I love all..” Then sin against God with anger, cursing, gossip, laziness. 

We all have our weaknesses that have been noticed by the enemy. And they are always whispering, waiting to see what we type, see if we are driving to the booze store. See if we are texting something sexual, gossiping, lying.

 Then they add pleasure to it, they pounce and celebrate the soon stumble once more away from God. They laugh at God showing Him how easily His supposed sons and daughters fall away from Him. They get to rest, when we stumble. Two reasons they are tenacious and always whispering and tempting us, 1) they hate God, and we are in the image of God. 2) they get to rest with each fall from us. 

Proverbs 4:16 kjv

“For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.”

With each time we give up trying to walk / drive/ the narrow road with God, it becomes a very wide road. That has been expanded by all of our sins that we did not repent nor renounce. Now justified in our minds eye, we speak the way of God “I love God I love all!” then we stab them in the back with gossip, which is murder. 

The easy way to Heaven is the easy narrow Gate and Road God teaches us how to walk or drive down.

The enemy can do nothing unless we listen to their temptations and sin. The enemy has no power except to make all earthly things very pleasurable, then drop you in the dirt yelling in your ear how pitiful and dirty you are. They bring the temptation of yay, then degrade you with disgust and tell you God hates you and you will never be forgiven.

That which is inside you is greater than anything in the world.  God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have us.

Truly, easy is it to walk the narrow road and walk through the narrow gate when we stay in God's word, obey His commandments and love.  Easy peasy!

May God bless all that read this with clear knowledge and knowing He loves us still until we turn so far away and fill with sin. He cannot even see us. Then we are walking the wide road and will fit through the wide gate to hell. God does not look upon sin. He had to turn away from His Only Begotten Son, who took on all of our sins up to the time He returns.

Another way to see this. Think of sin as gaining weight, with each pound gained we get larger. God's word is healthy. When we ask forgiveness it is like a diet pill. Slowly there will be a change, as soon as repentance and denouncing the sin occurs, we are removed the weight, the sin.

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

 Mitch Bensel  on 2022-09-25 04:35

I am going to explain a miracle shown me I  was shown by the Holy Spirit. I feel the reasoning is a way for us to see the importance to truly pray with faith. Not just lip service. If we pray casually asking for help here or there, even being specific God does not hear it. It doesn’t touch the ears of the Holy Spirit. Here is what I was shown when I visited Zanesville at a bible study.  John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I attended a bible study in Zanesville Ohio on Wednesday,  September 21st, 2022 that was taught by Pastor Anthony Thomas. Before beginning the study, the pastor asked those present if they had any prayer requests. As a spiritual healer for the Lord, I am used to people giving me their prayer requests. I automatically lowered my head closed my eyes, and began to pray with each request. 

Normally, when I am asked for or pray for healing,  the Holy Spirit shows me with light where someone is hurt, or ill, or if they need other help. But, I wasn't being asked to pray for them. People were giving the pastor their prayer requests for all of us to pray for. 

As the first person spoke her needed prayer, instead of me being shown the 

Holy Spirit's light moving to the person they were praying for, I was shown small wisps of light moving from the person asking for the prayer. With each word she spoke became small wisps of light rose toward Pastor then up. They moved not in straight lines, but in short curving beautiful waves. So very light and beautiful. The lady was not only telling what her prayer need was, she was saying it from her heart, literally already saying the prayer. I was being shown how our prayer words move as light  to God. 

The next person told the prayer they needed for someone. I was not shown the wisps of light.  This person was not praying yet. They were just telling the Pastor the prayer needed for all of us to pray. She just 'said' what prayer was needed and wasn't in spirit gear, per say. So, The Holy Spirit showed me  the healing light was already moving to the person needing it. That person was in a hospital bed. The way healing works when He works through me. 

I was shown a couple more like that, where healing came from the Holy Spirit from and through me like He does. Which means they were just telling the Pastor the prayers needed and not in spirit yet to pray and I was sending healing the way I do.

Then, with the last person asking for prayer, I was shown the wavy lights again with each word they spoke rising toward the Pastor then upward over his head. I was excited and realized and literally said in my mind while being shown the lights, “wow, our words become light, our words are literally taken to God in the form of light!” 

I was shown that when we pray with faith each word is heard by God in the light of the Holy Spirit. Every word said with faith is heard and when heard because it came from our stillness and love and faith in God, literally by the Holy Spirit as the light the Holy Spirit is. 

John 4 : 24 KJV

 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Matthew 7:7-12 

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. 

When Pastor Anthony led us in the group prayer for all the requests, I FELT  and was shown a liquid  presence of The Holy Spirit. A pressure covered the room. I was given a KNOWING that God was there. No lights or wisps, a knowing all the prayers that day God was present. Difficult to explain surrounded by the presence of God, a liquid presence.  When the group prayed  God showed me He was literally present in a tangible way of pressure, no other way to describe it. And oh, such a feeling of peace.  Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The final showing of His very presence is scripture based!.  So, different levels of action occur when we pray. One level are the words brought to God through the Holy Spirit. Since I was present at the Bible study He used the gift given to me to send healing to others to show me a different level of His answering prayers. The final level of prayer shows When a group prays God is truly IN THE MIDST OF THEM/ US :) It was so beautiful I have no words.  

Take from this at least one thing. God waits for us to ask in faith what we need. It is all through the Bible to ask with faith and I tell ya what His love surrounds when a group prayer is happening. No need for wisps, or being shown light. God, is present! Matthew 18:20 The tangible presence of God!

Philippians 4:6-7 – Don't be anxious, Pray with Faith. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 

Be specific, Each part of your need is being communicated in a language you know, English, French, German etc. The words complete a sentence and a prayer. When we pray with faith God hears and I feel what I was shown is WHY He hears because when said in faith His Holy Spirit grasps our words because they are from our soul, our hearts and that is where God is. And when a group prays, oh my! He truly is amidst all!

King James Version  

BE SPECIFIC

Matthew 20:30-34 

30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.  

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.  

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?  

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.  

34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. 

Matthew 7:7-12 

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. 

5:15  

King James Version  

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 

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

Mitch

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!

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.

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. 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. 

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 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. 
https://irenebaron.com/irene-baron-blog/blog/mitch-bensel-part-i 

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.
