This day my soul is aflame with the Spirit of the Living God. I have been with Him alone for the last four hours and now as the light of a new day is breaking forth, I must write to you what He has shown and said to me. It is directly related to your life and service in His Kingdom.

First of all, He said, “Benji, I have set you to strike the match that will set fire to the woodpile of despair, failure, hopelessness, cowardice and despair.” And, with that mandate in focus, I am compelled by His Spirit to tell you “Don’t give up!” The dream or desire you have is from God, and you are to be as tenacious as a junk yard dog with a bone.

Van Crouch said: “Winners are losers who got mad.” The things you have been through in the past, though at times seemed to be failures, have produced some good ‘stuff’ in you. You have salvaged some treasures, like wisdom, understanding, humility and compassion from the rubble of past heartbreak. You are stronger in the knowledge and love of God than you have ever been.

On every highway to success there are many signs, - some marked, ‘Detour Ahead’, ‘Wrong way’, ‘Hard Hat Area’. You have faced some gigantic spiritual bulldozers that were headed straight toward you. Their plan was to plow you under. They were belching out accusations like “you are a coward,” “who do you think you are,” “you’re too late,” “forget it,” “it just isn’t God’s will.”

Yes, as you look back you think how weak you have been, but the truth is you have been quite a warrior.

We’ve all traveled the same roads, Dear One. And that is why I feel so bonded to you this day; Most all of us have been down the same roads and faced the same thing. It is all relative, isn’t it? I can tell you right now, sweet heart, that you are more capable now of winning than you have ever been.

Come on, keep plowing through, the Glory is just ahead and if God has promised it, who can stop it? Wait a minute, there is one person and that person is you. These are a few things that I have learned that causes failure:

Failure to think or,
Thinking too much about the past;
Not stopping long enough to think things through;
Not giving God a chance to speak to you, while you remain silent;
(And as a result)
Satan laughs, knowing he has a chance to cause you to listen to what he says.

Believe, Sweet One; hang on with joy until the job is completed.

You have what it takes; God’s Word and the strength of His Spirit. Jesus is ever interceding and we are standing with you. The greatest legacy you can leave is that you never gave up, you kept the vision and the faith that God would deliver for His Namesake.

Even now I feel the powerful anointing of Jesus moving my fingers to encourage you in this. You have the wisdom, the favor and all of Heaven backing you up. Get mad and win!

Sir Isaac Newton worked forty years writing the law of gravity. He said, “What I have done is due to patient thought.”
Noah Webster spent thirty six years working on his dictionary.
Fanny Hurst received thirty six rejections from Saturday Evening Post, before one story was accepted.
Sweet heart, you have enough faith in God to see the promise come to pass. WOW!
