Building your house on the word from God

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 11, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    We cannot pursue fame, money and reputation among men and serve God. The only way we can be a servant of God is to do that which God tells us to do which is opposite to the way of this world.   But our flesh wants fame, money and reputation.   So there is a battle.   How do we overcome our own flesh?   This is the story of this Podcast.   ==   I John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us:   15 And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM.     Matthew 4:8-11  Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;   9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give THEE, if THOU wilt fall down and worship me.   10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.   11 Then the devil leaveth HIM, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto HIM.     2 Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.     1 John 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.     2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 (NASB)   And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time.    7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE (Jesus, the Word) who now restrains will do so until HE (Jesus, the Word) is removed.    8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;     Titus 3:10-11   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.     Philippians 4:13   I can do all things through Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.

(I Corinthians 2)   James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.   The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and HE shows us truth in each question of this present life.   ==    John 14:26  Jesus says ...  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13 Jesus says ... Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.     1 Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?    1 Corinthians 6:19-20   What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.    2 Corinthians 3:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?     James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.      Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 15, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   All people know there was a man who walked on this earth and his name was Jesus.   But few know that Jesus lives inside the believer today by HIS Spirit ... and the Spirit of Jesus brings scripture and concepts to the mind of the believer to teach him, to guide him, to show him things to come.   Few people, even those people in churches, believe that Jesus has come into the body of the believer to live in that believer by His Spirit.   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   I Corinthians 6:19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.   II Corinthians 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?    Romans 8   7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.   9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.   10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.   11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.   Jesus lives in each believer today by that Spirit which God gives us after we believe the Word.   Ephesians 1:12-13  That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who first trusted in Christ.   13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,     Matthew 24:4-5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (They come saying "Jesus is Lord" and deceive many)     1 Corinthians 2:9-10  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.   10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.      1 Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.     John 6:29   Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on HIM (the Word) whom HE (God) hath sent.      Colossians 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.   4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.     John 14:26  Jesus says ...  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 16:13  Jesus says ...  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 30, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   One of the most important things for each of us is to live in peace continually.  For when Jesus returns for the church it is very important that we be found by Him at that time living in peace, without spot, and blameless.     II Peter 3:12-14    Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM (of Jesus) in peace, without spot, and blameless.   It would be impossible for us to live in peace unless we do the following continually.   Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   Is there anything troubling you today?  Are you concerned about anything that is coming tomorrow?  Is there a fear of any kind concerning tomorrow?   If so, you are not living in peace.  You are failing to connect with God through prayer.   As we pray about each of our cares daily, we show that we trust in God and not in ourselves.   We connect with God by prayer.  And that makes us worthy to escape those things that are coming upon this earth says Jesus.   James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.     1 Peter 5:7  Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.     Luke 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.     Romans 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;     Matthew 24:12-13  Jesus says ... And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.     Galatians 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.     Romans 8:1, 13-14  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.   14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.     Revelation 3:5  Jesus says ...  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.     Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 29, 2020)     Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Each of us have thoughts where we could feel sorrowful or complain. We also have things for which we can be thankful.  If we learn to deliberately choose to think on those things for which we are thankful, we can turn our lives around.   Philippians 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   There are times when your husband or wife or friend does trifle things which annoy you. As you think on the grievances, you puff up and sometimes strike out.   If you will pray, asking God for help, and also deliberately think of things whereby your husband or wife or friend did things that caused you to rejoice, the grievances often fly away, disappearing.   Devils often attack by bringing negative thoughts to our minds. Our flesh sometimes wallows in those thoughts and things get much worse. And there is no good thing in our flesh, says Paul.  (Romans 7)   We, who have the power of the Holy Spirit of Jesus living in us, have in HIM a great power for good toward ourselves and toward others also if we will live in HIS power.   Galatians 5:15-16  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit (that which God brings to your mind), and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.   It is not that we act in a phony way. But there are real things that other person has done for us which we can think on, blessings from God by that other person.   Learn to think on those things, especially when you want to strike out.   And above all, pray, asking God to help you in the midst of the attacks, for God will help you when you desire help.     James 1:26   If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.     John 4:23   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.      I Timothy 2:1-4   I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.    3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;  4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.      Galatians 5:19-23  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,   20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,   21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,   23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.      Galatians 5:17   For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.      2 Peter 3:14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things (the return of Jesus), be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.     Luke 21:36   Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.      2 John vv. 8-11   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.   9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.   10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:   11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.     

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 26, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God has placed each of HIS people in a role on this present earth with an "assignment" to do.   How do we know our assignment?  It is simple.  Our assignment is where we are right now.   * A husband and father ... a wife and mother ... a businessman ... a teacher... a mechanic ... a waitress.   We begin where we are.   Our goal in our assignment:  To serve God in all things and to reflect God in our actions.   Each of us have been equipped by God to succeed.   Pray, asking God what you are to do today.  Ask God how you are to fulfill today's assignment.  Ask God to give you wisdom to do that which you need to do, for understanding and wisdom are from God.   Follow the concepts and scriptures given you by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you.  Keep them before you throughout the day.   There is a great Holy Spirit in us to enable us to do all the will of God in the matters set before us.  Follow that Holy Spirit doing what HE brings to your mind.  Asking God to fill your day.  Depending on God rather than on yourself.   The starting point for us as we live today is presented in this Podcast.   Acts 17:26  (NASB 1995)   and He (God) made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,     John 5:30  Jesus says ...  I can of MINE own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and MY judgment is just; because I seek not MINE own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent ME.     James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.     Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.      1 Corinthians 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.     Ephesians 3:20-21  Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,   21 Unto HIM be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.     John 14:26  Jesus says ...  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 16:13  Jesus says ...  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.     James 1:25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.   

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 25, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    They call themselves Christians, but they do that which is right in their own eyes, in their own way of thinking.  They do not call on God for HIS wisdom in the specific issues at hand.   They are like a leaf blowing in the wind.  They go one way then the opposite way without any thought at all.   They do not seem to have faith that God will communicate HIS will to themselves, therefore they don't think to ask God.   The ones who hear from God are like a rock which will never fall.   But the way of the ungodly, those who fail to consider that which God wants them to do, their way of doing things, will perish.    Psalm 1   1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.   2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord (the Word of God); and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.   3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.   5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.   6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.      Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 24, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    John 5:30  Jesus says:  I can of MINE own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and MY judgment is just; because I seek not MINE own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent ME.   We should be exactly the same as Jesus.  We should understand that of our own selves we can do nothing.  We hear from God the Father through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us and we learn to follow THAT Word.   John 14:26  Jesus says:  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.   We recognize the thoughts that are from God by the following:   James 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.   But if we are in envy and strife there is confusion and every evil work.  James 3   We must give up the envy and strife through repentance and prayer.   Psalm 51:10  David prayed:  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.   Antichrist in the churches thinks he can do the works of God by his own wisdom and he does not call on God for wisdom concerning his plans, for he is opposite to God and thinks of himself to be able to do spiritual things.   Matthew 7:21-23  Jesus says:  Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven.   22 Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works?   23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.     John 6:63  Jesus says:  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.     Romans 8:1-2  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.   Romans 8:5-14  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.    6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.    7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.    8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.   9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of HIS.    10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.    11 But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.    12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.    13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.    14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 22, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   As we keep a scripture before us day and night, we find eventually we have a power in us which enables us to follow that scripture.    In the Bible is it described as follows:   Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   God leads the New Testament church today by HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who lives in the believer.   When God speaks to us to reveal The Word to us, the Holy Spirit is also given to those of us who believe that Word.  We are sealed by God with the Holy Spirit.  (Eph. 1)   One of the things done by the Holy Spirit is to remind us of the Word God has given us.  That shows us what we are to think upon and to do at this point in our lives.   Thus we are given various scriptures to lead us and guide us and comfort us and help us.  God does this by the Holy Spirit bringing these scriptures to our mind.   We then think on these scriptures and apply them to our lives.  Often we need to keep that scripture before us day and night, morning and evening, until it really becomes a part of us.    I am currently working on the following scripture:   Romans 12:18   If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.   I look at this scripture each morning and think on the instruction given me by this scripture.   At night, when I go to bed, I look again at this scripture to check myself and see if I have done what this scripture tells me to do as I have lived that day.   In a few days, as I do this scripture, it will become a part of my daily life and it will overcome my flesh which wants to quarrel with other people.   I believe we are recreated in the image of Christ (The Word) each time we do a scripture.   In this podcast, I will speak with you about ways to set up scriptures on your Kindle tablet in your Photos (or Ipad), so you can keep scripture before you easily and think upon those scriptures given you by the Holy Spirit of God.   I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.     John 14:26  Jesus says:  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 16:13  Jesus says: Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.     John 6:63   Jesus says:  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.       1 Corinthians 2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.     Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of (from) the Father, cometh unto ME (The Word).   Man loves to "glory in the flesh" of man.  Therefore the Jews in the New Testament church in the day of Paul said the believers from the Gentiles had to be circumcised.  (Galatians 3-5) They wanted to glory in the flesh of that which man did.   Today they want to glory in our flesh by telling people things we did.  But I've found when I tell then that God had me do that thing over which they glory, most flee from me.  They don't want to glory in things God has done.  They want to glory in my flesh, in things I have done.   That person who is really of God glories in that which God has done.   Jesus said:  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.  (John 5:30)   Like Jesus, we can do nothing except that which we hear from God by HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit.   And by HIS Spirit we are taught by God concerning the will of God and that which God wants us to do as we live on this present earth.   I John 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM.     Hebrews 8:10-11  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:    11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.     I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?      2 Corinthians 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?     John 14:26 Jesus says: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 16:13  Jesus says:   Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.     1 Corinthians 2:4-5, 13-14  Paul said:  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.   13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.   14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.      Titus 3:10-11 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.     2 Timothy 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.     2 John vv. 8-11  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.   9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.   10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:   11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.   * I Cor. 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.   * Mt. 5:32 Jesus says: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   - The faithful wife who is divorced by her husband will commit adultery if she remarries but her husband who divorced the faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery.   - The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.      * I Cor. 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.   * I Cor. 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.   * Gal. 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.     If we support those people who are doing these things and show ourselves friends to them in their acts, we become an enemy to God.   2 John vv. 8-11  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.   9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.   10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:   11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.      I Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?   26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?   27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:   29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.   30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?   31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?   32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.   33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.     Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.     James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.     James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

When churches removed scriptures and set up another doctrine, this opened the way for antichrist to move into the churches."   Here are the scriptures showing us the working of antichrist in the churches before Jesus returns.   1 John 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.     2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (KJV)  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto HIM,   2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.   3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin (antichrist) be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.     2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NASB 1995)  Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness (antichrist) is revealed, the son of destruction,   4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.     2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 (NASB 1995)  And you know what restrains him (antichrist) now, so that in his time he will be revealed.   7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE (Jesus, the Word) who now restrains will do so until HE is taken out of the way.    8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of HIS coming;     2 Thessalonians 2:10-17 (KJV)   10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:   12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:   14 Whereunto HE called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.   15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.   16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ HIMSELF, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,   17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.     Titus 3:10-11   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.     Acts 20:28-30  Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus ...   28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.   29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.   30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.     Ephesians 4:4-6  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;   5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,   6 One God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE (God) hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.   God will not fail us ... call on God when you are concerned or fearful.   We have a power the world does not have.  We have the great power of God.  And with God, nothing is impossible.   We have access at all times to the wisdom that is from God.   This is a promise of God to HIS children:   James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.   By HIS Spirit, God brings thoughts to our mind to show us what to do in the issues of this present life.   As we do those things shown us by God, the problems begin to unravel and vanish.   God knows exactly what will work for us.  And God knows the future and how to set us up for those things ahead.   All we have to do is turn to God, asking HIM for help ... and then follow those ideas which God sends to our mind by HIS Spirit.   The knowledge of how God works does help us also.   John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.     I Corinthians 2:9-13  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.   10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.   11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.   12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.   13 Which things also we speak, ...      Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 23, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    When we are called by God to be a minister of Jesus Christ, God also teaches us what we are to say and do. We don't learn to be a minister of God by hearing from other men. We don't learn to be a minister of God by going to a seminary. Neither do we copy other men.   Like the apostle Paul, we learn directly from God.   I John 2:20-21, 27   But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.   21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.   27 But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.     2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.     2 Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.     2 Peter 3:14   Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things (the day of the Lord), be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.      Luke 21-34-36  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.   35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.   36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Their righteousness is of ME, saith the Lord.   Was it God who told me to say that thing?   Was it God who told me to do that thing?   Sometimes we are absolutely certain it was God who authored that which we said or that which we did.  Other times we might not know for sure.  Then we can pray, asking God to judge us and asking God to make it clear to us.   I Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that HE may exalt you in due time:   ***   Matthew 7  Jesus says:   16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?   17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.   18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.   19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.   20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.   21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.   22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?   23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 14, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The wrath of God, the great tribulation, is coming upon this world because of the increase of evil in this present world.  The evil we see today is a sign showing us the closeness of the coming of Jesus and the wrath of God that will come at the end of this present world.    No man knows exactly when the great tribulation will come or when Jesus will return to gather the elect from off this present earth, but we have signs.   When we see the leaves appear on the trees don't we know spring is upon us?   Jesus explains to us in Luke 21, that it will be the same today.   As the wickedness increases around us and men approve wickedness, this signals the pending wrath of God that will come upon this world.   One of the signs is increase of homosexuals, as it was in the day of Sodom before God destroyed Sodom.  (Genesis 19)   What God says in Bible about homosexuals and lesbians:   Romans 1:26-27 ... For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.   So we know this is one of the sins which brings the wrath of God in the destruction at the end of this present world.  As we see the increase of this sins, we can know the wrath of God is not far away.  

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 16, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney    1 Peter 5:8-9  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:   9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.    John 10:10  Jesus, the Word says:  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly   I had been speaking about antichrist coming through individuals in churches and I was making a recording.  The thought came, "You're wrong. Antichrist doesn't come through humans."    God reminded me of following scripture:     I John 2:18-19  John said:  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.   ***   The Bible shows us antichrist coming through people in the church even in the days of the apostle John.   The objective of antichrist is to cause us to depart from the Word of God and to set up doctrine contrary to the Word of God.    The objective of the devil is to destroy the people of God, if we allow ourselves to be destroyed, following destructive thoughts of devils and our own flesh.    Therefore the apostle Paul instructs:    II Corinthians 10:3-5  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:    4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)    5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.    (Making every thought obedient to Christ, THE WORD.)    As long as we live on this earth, we must deal with every thought to make that which "we think" conform to the Word of God, casting all thoughts contrary to the scriptures from us, establishing the truth and what we believe by the scriptures by the Holy Spirit of God.    Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.     1 Peter 3:6-7   Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that HE may exalt you in due time:   7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.       John 8:31-32  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;   32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.     James 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.     Ephesians 6:10-13  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of HIS might.   11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.   12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.   13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.   14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;   15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;   16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.   17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:   18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;     1 Corinthians 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.   But God looked on Noah and had respect toward Noah and saved Noah and his wife and his sons and his sons' wives and many animals.   Violence is often cloaked under the guise of "good".  But God sees the truth.   Today we see great violence in the heart of humans as policemen wrongly kill other men, and as protesters fail to allow God to judge the evil actions of men, and as men with violence in their hearts take to the streets in various cities and some loot businesses and do many additional evils.   It turns out that all are evil for even the ones who think they are doing good by protesting, fail to trust God ...   Romans 12:18-19 ... If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.   Therefore the police who kill wrongly show they are "antichrist" ... and the protesters who go forth with wrath show they are "antichrist" as they fail to follow scripture.    These happenings warn us today that we are racing toward the great tribulation which God will bring at the end, on all people on this earth who do wickedness.

And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.   31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.     2 Peter 2:21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.      1 Corinthians 6:16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.     I Corinthians 6:18   Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.      1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.     Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:   27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.     Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.    ***    So what scriptures are you following right now, at this point in time, today?    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 6, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    I was born again in 1975, and one of the first things God showed me to do is to get out of debt and to stay out of debt. This has been critical in keeping me from purchasing wrong things and keeping me from being involved in wrong works. I only buy that which I can pay for immediately.   I Corinthians 7:31  And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.   Also, one thing we must do, between now and the return of Jesus, is to be in peace constantly for the apostle Peter said to be diligent that when Jesus returns HE would find us in peace, without spot, and blameless. (II Peter 3:14)   We can only live in peace if we take each troubling issue to God in prayer and allow God to settle us by HIS Spirit.   Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.     Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.   2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.      2 Corinthians 5:10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.     1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.      James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.     John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of HIMSELF; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall he speak: and HE will shew you things to come.     Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 3, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    2 Corinthians 5:9-11  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM (of God).   10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.   11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; ...      Ephesians 4:1-6  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,   2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;   3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.   4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;   5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,   6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.   When a person comes speaking of being a Christian and then begins to tell you he is Baptist or Catholic or Church of Christ, that person causes immediate division in the body of Christ.   I avoid such persons.   Paul said:  I Corinthians 3 ...   And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.   3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?   4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?   We should simply identify ourselves as Christians if we do anything.  For to identify ourselves as a denomination brings division in the body of Christ.   Titus 3:9   But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.     2 Timothy 3:1-8  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.   2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,   3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,   4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;   5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.    6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,   7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.    8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.     Matthew 24:4-5   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.     I Corinthians 11:5-6, 14-15   But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.   6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.   14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?   15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.     Matthew 23:9  And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.     Titus 3:10-11   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.     I Corinthians 14:8-9   For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?   9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.     1 Chronicles 16:8-12   Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon HIS name, make known HIS deeds among the people.   9 Sing unto HIM, sing psalms unto HIM, talk ye of all HIS wondrous works.   10 Glory ye in HIS holy name (the Word): let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.   11 Seek the Lord and HIS strength, seek HIS face continually.   12 Remember HIS marvellous works that HE hath done, HIS wonders, and the judgments of HIS mouth;     1 John 2:18-19   18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.     Acts 20:28-30  Paul said:   Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.   29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.   30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.     2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Also our faith is in God when that is the situation.   Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the Lord.      Matthew 7:22-23  Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works?   23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.     Matthew 24:4-5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.     Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by HIS own power. 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE (God), shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

(This podcast previously recorded and published on June 28, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    If someone in a church group turns from a portion of scripture and goes another way, that person will bring "evil communications" to us in his way of life.     We cannot stay around such a person as this unless he will correct himself if we admonish him with godly correction.   I Corinthians 15:33   Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.   If we warn that person and he rejects our warning, we will be pulled down in grief over him, and we must not deceive ourselves into thinking that we will be able to help him by being with him.     It is God who teaches each of us.     If a person is not being taught by God, we will not be able to reach him.     The fact that God is not teaching him means he is not of God.     We will waste ourselves if we keep trying to give him instruction from God.  Instead we must do the following:   Titus 3    10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.   Don't keep trying to send messages to him.  If he rejects the first or second message, just walk away from him.  It is so important to our safety to learn to stop sending messages after he rejects one or two messages.  Just do the above scripture!   Words spoken by people stick inside us like a seed and at some point bear fruit in us unless we choose to root up the concept by that given us by God.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  Luke 21:25-27   Many years ago, God gave me a dream where the earth slipped on it's axis.  People were terrified.  A newscaster was trying to report what happened but he was too frightened to continue his broadcast so he just got up and left ... The government leaders were meeting with scientists and religious leaders to see what could be done about this matter.   Nothing can be done by man to stop that which is coming upon this earth.   The thing the believers can do between now and then is to get their own lives in good spiritual condition ... for it is coming!  

(Previously recorded and published on July 9, 2024)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    I believe Jesus comes soon to remove us from this earth and judge us before the judgment seat of God.   I am interested in cleaning myself up through God and through doing Bible as led by God as much as possible now before Jesus returns.   I pray and read Bible to make adjustments.   Prayer:   Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Devils flee when we thank God for those good things that HE has allowed into our lives.    Being thankful to God is one of the powerful weapon we have in spiritual warfare.  

On May 27, 2025, Joan Boney died, now sleeping in Jesus, as we're told in I Thessalonians 4.   In a podcast Joan recorded and we first broadcast on January 19, 2025, we are exhorted in what the Bible tells us about death.    Those of the world sorrow and often suffer greatly when someone dies.    But for those who believe what we are told in the Bible, there is great comfort, hope, and joy when another believer dies.   This is the podcast initially published on January 19, 2025:   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Death is like "falling asleep."  But at the moment of death, our spirit leaves our body.  And according to the Bible, we sleep in Jesus. (I Thessalonians 4).     When Jesus returns with a shout we will awaken and God gives us a new spiritual body.  We will not have these physical bodies which have pain, decay, and even death.    I Thessalonians 4:13-17   13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.   16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   With this shout, those who sleep in Jesus will awaken!   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.   ***   James 2:26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.   The moment we die, our spirit leaves our body.  Therefore our spirit is not buried with our bodies in a grave.    ***   My cousin's husband died.  She was with him at the time.  She said, "Thurman reached over and patted my hand and just "fell asleep".   She told me she was going to visit his grave.  I asked, "Why would you do that?  Thurman is not in a grave.  He left his body the second he fell asleep."   She thought about what I said, and then she said, "Then it really doesn't matter where we are buried."  I replied, "Right."   (I think my cousin was born again at that moment.)   ***    I don't go to a funeral home to visit dead bodies.  I am convinced the person who died is not in that dead body.  (I want to remember the person as living not as dead.)   Neither do I visit grave yards where dead bodies have been buried.  (My father, mother, aunt, uncle are not in those graves!  They sleep in Jesus. And at the time Jesus returns to this earth, HE will "shout" and I believe they will awaken from sleep to the resurrection in a new spiritual body.)   (Paul tells us that our physical body will be changed to a new spiritual body.)   I Corinthians 15   47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.   48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.   49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  (God is a "spirit". John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth .... We will be raised as "spirit" not as a physical body.)   50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.   51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,   52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   (Blink ... that is how fast we will be changed from this physical body.)   Revelation 21:3-5  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.   I Corinthians 15   53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
