April 23, 2025

This class explores the kind of faith that speaks life in the face of death. Bishop Benjamin shares a powerful message on miracles, obedience, and trusting God when everything seems lost. A reminder that when faith leads, healing follows—and even the impossible must bow.

Read about this class:

Bishop Benjamin’s April faith class landed at the perfect moment—just after Passover and Resurrection Sunday—inviting listeners to reflect on the power of new life. Broadcasting from an airport, the bishop opened the class with vibrant energy, anchoring it in 2 Kings 4:18–37, a passage that showcases one of Scripture’s most dramatic miracles: the resurrection of the Shunammite woman’s son by the prophet Elisha.

Faith When All Seems Lost
The story begins with tragedy. A young boy cries out, “My head, my head,” is carried to his mother, and then dies in her arms. In a moment that would shake any parent, the Shunammite woman does something unexpected. Instead of crumbling, she lays him on the prophet’s bed, shuts the door, and sets out to find Elisha.

What follows is a masterclass in unwavering faith.

Despite her grief, when asked about her son, she replies: “It is well.” Bishop Benjamin emphasized this response—not as denial of reality, but as a declaration of belief over circumstance. Her faith was so powerful, it concealed the truth from the prophet himself until she revealed it.

Drive and Go Forward
Her husband questions the timing, but she is resolute. She tells her servant to drive and go forward, a phrase Bishop Benjamin highlighted as a call to push past obstacles when pursuing God’s purpose. He urged the class: when God calls, don’t wait for the perfect time—go.

Miracles Are Not Accidents
When Elisha finally arrives, what follows is not just an act of healing, but a divine orchestration. He stretches himself over the child, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. The bishop called attention to this prophetic act, comparing it to CPR—a supernatural version of resuscitation performed through obedience and prayer.

After walking the room, Elisha returns, and the child sneezes seven times and opens his eyes. The bishop described the sneezing as a release of death—a physical manifestation of life being restored.

Obedience Brings the Breakthrough
Elisha’s servant Gehazi was sent ahead with the prophet’s staff, but nothing happened. Why? Because some miracles cannot be delegated. Bishop Benjamin reminded listeners: when God wants you to perform something, no one else can substitute. You must be willing to stretch, pray, move, and listen. Miracles flow through obedience.

Poison in the Pot: A Second Miracle
Immediately after the boy’s resurrection, Elisha faces another crisis. In a time of famine, someone accidentally adds poisonous herbs to the stew. The people cry out—“There is death in the pot!”—but instead of discarding the meal, Elisha adds flour, and the poison is neutralized. A second miracle. A second release of death into life.

Bishop Benjamin explained that this symbolizes what GoldCare is doing: bringing life where the system has introduced poison—be it through medical mandates, toxic narratives, or harmful health practices.

Cling and Cleave to the Promise
Throughout the lesson, Bishop Benjamin returned to one powerful image: the Shunammite woman clinging to Elisha’s feet. He compared this to Jacob refusing to let go of the angel until he received his blessing. In seasons of uncertainty, Bishop Benjamin urged listeners to cling to God’s promises—to cleave to what has been spoken over their lives, no matter how dead the situation may appear.

Miracles for a Nation in Crisis
Referencing the current state of America’s healthcare and leadership, Bishop Benjamin declared: There are those who want death for our nation, but God wants life. This, he said, is the calling on GoldCare—to be a vessel of miracle-level impact in a system many have given up on.

He pointed to the defunding of the WHO and rising awareness around harmful protocols. In that vacuum, he said, GoldCare is rising as the answer—bringing life, clarity, and divine wisdom into the chaos.

A Call to Miracle Workers
As the class wrapped, the bishop didn’t just tell the story—he issued a call. “Can I call you miracle workers today?” he asked. The message was clear: this isn’t just a story to admire. It’s a blueprint to live by.

If you stand in faith, walk in obedience, and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit, God will work through you. The miracles may not look identical, but the power is the same.

Faith in Action: What Comes Next
As the GoldCare faith series moves into May with the theme Stand Up and Shout, Bishop Benjamin left listeners with a challenge: don’t let go. In times of doubt, cling harder. When the environment pushes you to let go of your calling or your promise, cleave tighter.

Because death doesn’t get the final word.
