As Good as Dead

April 2, 2025

In a stirring April class focused on the theme of “new life,” Bishop Benjamin led the GoldCare family through a deep exploration of faith, covenant, and the power of believing God even when the promise seems impossible. Drawing from Genesis 17, he reminded listeners that God doesn’t make empty promises—He seals them in covenant and carries them through, even if it takes decades.

Read about this class:

Bishop Benjamin opened by highlighting the transformation of Abram into Abraham. At ninety-nine years old, Abraham was given the word that he would become the father of many nations. Despite his age and Sarah’s barrenness, God made it clear: “I will multiply you exceedingly.” This wasn't just about personal legacy—it was a divine declaration of life springing from what looked like death.

This covenant wasn’t casual. Bishop walked listeners back to Genesis 15, where God alone walked through the blood of sacrifice, making it clear that He—not man—was the one responsible for fulfilling the promise. “Me and thee,” God said. Not “thee and me.” That small order matters. Whoever names the covenant first bears the weight of sacrifice. And God named Himself first.

God Still Cuts Covenant Today

Bishop reminded everyone: this same covenant still applies. Every person alive today has the opportunity to walk in covenant with Jehovah, just like Abraham did. “Not Buddha. Not Allah. Jehovah,” he said. It’s a powerful truth—the God who cut covenant with Abraham is still cutting covenant with His people now. And that covenant includes healing, restoration, family, provision, and life.

In a time when our healthcare systems are being challenged, families are under stress, and politics swirl with division, Bishop called on the GoCare family to believe for more. “This month is about new life,” he declared. “Not just survival—revival.”

Stop Settling for Ishmael

Referencing Sarah and Hagar, Bishop issued a prophetic warning: don’t settle for the wrong people in your life. Just because something is available doesn’t mean it’s aligned. “Hagar intimidated Sarah. Ishmael taunted Isaac,” he reminded. But God made it clear—His promise would be fulfilled through Sarah, not through compromise.

Bishop prophesied that in this season, the right people will show up. “God is removing the distractions and bringing the real ones—the ones meant to go the distance with you.”

The Blessing Is for All Generations

This class wasn’t just about Abraham’s miracle—it was about America’s calling too. Bishop drew a powerful parallel between Abraham at ninety-nine and America at 249 years old. “Is anything too hard for God?” he asked. As the nation nears its 250th year, he believes we are on the brink of restoration—a time of reindustrialization, renewed family values, and revival.

He also shared a bold word: “I’ve claimed America as an inheritance under the covenant of Jehovah.” Just as the land of Canaan was given to Abraham’s seed, Bishop believes the land we live in today is meant to be possessed and stewarded by those in covenant with God.

Speak to the Storms

As the class drew to a close, Bishop shifted to practical faith. He urged the group not to sit passively while chaos swirls—whether in the weather, politics, or personal life. “Speak to the storm,” he said. “Lift your hands and command the winds to cease in the name of Jesus.” From hurricane prayers to speaking over buildings and bills, the power to call things into order is in the mouths of believers.

He reminded everyone: the devil thrives on noise, distraction, and chaos. But in the stillness, God speaks and moves. “Be still, and know that I am God,” Bishop quoted. “In the quiet, promises are transacted.”

Revival Requires Servants and Kings

A special moment came when Dr. John added his perspective from Israel, reminding everyone of the deep Jewish symbolism behind covenant and sacrifice. He emphasized that while we are kings and priests, we are also called to serve like Jesus did—to give our lives for others, to restore unity across color lines, cultures, and nations. Bishop echoed the message with joy: “Whether you’re milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or red man—we’re in this together.”

From the mountain of Olives to middle America, this was a call for one new man: Jew and Gentile, united under one Messiah.

Final Word: GoldCare’s Role in Revival

As the class wrapped, Bishop called on the GoldCare family to continue fasting, praying, and speaking over their lives. “We’re not just believing for new life—we’re building it.” He asked for ongoing prayer for Dr. Simone Gold and the entire GoldCare mission, which he believes is positioned to bring restoration to medicine and hope to communities nationwide.

Key Takeaways

  • God’s covenant is unbreakable—and it’s still available today. Every promise is sealed in His blood, not our performance.
