Abiding In Solitude

I have permission from the Lord to give an update today after a very long period of silence.

After leaving Dallas, TX in January I have entered into a period of abiding Solitude and abiding Obscurity for the purpose of completing the book series the Lord has asked me to write: The Book Of Benjamin Kareth.

God has me on what I call a “Seven7s” schedule, although this name really doesn’t fit it well. Here is the basic unfolding of this:

I left Dallas in January 2023 with nothing but the clothes on my back and my iPhone, leaving behind once again all my material possessions (what few I did have). From there God asked me to complete writing the book series. He said it was time now and He laid out the plan for the writing of the remaining 78 books. This is the “Seven 7s” I was referring to earlier.

This is the “Seven 7s”:

For 6 days a week 7 times a day: 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm I get before the Lord to pray, worship, and intercede for my family friends, and the world. Then after the time of prayer and fellowship with Him I sit and write. Each time slot I am working on a different book He has directed me to write. Each time slot I spend between 15-45 minutes listening to Him and writing.

God made it very clear to me as I began this that I must do this in holiness. Holy means set apart. He explained that I was NOT to be on social media, NOT to socialize freely, NOT to read news, watch movies, or TV shows. I am to be in a state of abiding Solitude, set apart to Him, to complete this work He has given me to do. There are people around but I do not intentionally seek out socializing with them but I do say hello and such when it is appropriate.

My sensitivity to the Lord and the Holy Spirit has skyrocketed. His voice is louder than ever and my daily, moment to moment, encounters and fellowship with Him are growing deeper and deeper.

I am to continue this schedule for 128 days and then take a week break before beginning the next season of 128 days. This will continue until I have completed 99 of the books of the series. Should take about 4 years or so. There are 100 total, but the final book has very special conditions that must be met in order for me to write it as the Lord has laid out to me and that book will be written over the course of one year and I will be absolutely cutoff from people during that year. Not sure how that will come about but it’s at least 3-4 years away.

The loneliness I feel deeply but I lay it down at the altar before Him daily. He explained that this is how He wanted these books to be written. And I am doing my very best to obey Him. I miss all of my family and my friends so much. Hello to you all. I pray for you all 7 times a day. I pray that every circumstance you encounter in your days will draw you closer and closer to the Lord.

There is such a richness to the writing now. I am currently working on the following books:

  • Solitude And Obscurity
  • The Eighth Witness Testimony
  • The First Yearly Devotional
  • A Return To God
  • The First Book Of Celebration
  • The Second Collection Of Parables
  • The Days Of Revival

Three of the books will be a set of books, a small series of books within the larger series, God calls them the “Three-Sided Coin”. More on that when they are released in a few months.

I would like to say thank you for all the gifts that you have given to support me these past months. I am trusting God daily to meet my needs as I focus on completing this assignment He has given me.

Also, all of the books of The Book Of Benjamin Kareth will be and are now FREE to download in PDF format here:

The Book Of Benjamin Kareth On Itch.IO

Feel free to head over and download and read any you’d like to and share with anyone you’d like to share them with.

These books all point upward to God and that’s my daily prayer.

If you’d like to support me financially you can do so on either:

Modern Day

Or At:

GoFundMe

Any financial support given during this time goes to allowing me to focus on finishing writing this book series.

I don’t imagine there will be another update soon as God has me on a tight lock down here. But for now know that you all are in my heart and in my prayers daily. Let us all focus on completing the good works God has given us each to do and run our race well to win the prize.

Until that day.
