Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus ministries

(This podcast was previously published on December 28, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Because of the Bible, we know that which is coming in the time ahead.   Peter tells us:   II Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 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?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.   Knowing the future things that are coming, according to Bible, changes everything!   We cannot put our hope in a continuation of things on this earth as we have known them.  We cannot build our lives on this earth as we have done.   Everything we can see with our natural eye will be destroyed by God and that could happen at any time.   I see it as something similar to Coronavirus.  Those things we had were gone immediately!  In one day, all sports in the USA vanished from our sight. Businesses closed.  Streets became vacant.   When God sends the great tribulation, at first, some people may not even realize anything significant is happening.   Plague #1:  Revelation 8:7  The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.   A third of the earth was affected.  If this happens in USA, will the people in Russia know anything that will affect them has happened?  (A virus in China has nothing to do with us in USA? does it?)   But look at that which happens with the 4th tribulation from God:   Revelation 8:12  And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.   Now everyone all over the entire world will know something is happening.  And this world will be greatly affected.   And far more is to come:  10 more tribulations which will be even worse   Revelation 8:13   And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!   Daniel 12:10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.   *****   Colossians 3   1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.   2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.   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.   5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:   6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:   7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.   8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.   9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;   10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of HIM that created him:

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 23, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Revelation16:1-2 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.   2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome (smelly) and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.   Many doctrines in churches today are doctrines of men and not doctrines of God.  As churches follow the doctrines of men, the people of those churches take on the mark of the beast, worshiping something that is not God.  Upon these people comes the wrath of God.   Plagues of blood to follow:   Revelation 16:3-4  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.   4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.   And the angels in heaven rejoiced saying:   5-6  And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.  For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and Thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.   7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are THY judgments.   But the men of this world who have taken on the mark of the beast curse God over these plagues and they repent not of their works.   The fourth angel of the 7 angels, brings a plague that affects men greatly.   *****   Revelation 16   8-9  And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory.   10-11  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.   12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.  For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.   15 (Jesus says) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.   We will not be ashamed in the day of the Lord when we follow the instructions given by the New Testament Bible, for by these we correct our way on this earth and come into agreement with God and HIS Word, Jesus.   But those in churches who agree with antichrist and follow his doctrines will be ashamed when Jesus returns for His righteous.   Correct yourselves now by the New Testament Bible and follow the doctrines of the Bible and turn from the antichrist doctrines being taught by man, and agree with God, while there is still time.   Revelation 16   17-21  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.   18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.   19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath.   20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.   21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.    

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 22, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Matthew 24 Jesus says:   29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31  And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   When the sun and the moon go dark and the stars fall from heaven, know that the coming of Jesus and the end of this present world is very close!   God keeps the solar system in place now but when God shakes the powers of heaven, everything changes.  The earth will be moved and the entire heavens will be changed by God and affected.   Notice the following concerning this earth:   Isaiah 13:13  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.   God gave me a dream in the mid-80's as follows:   The earth slipped on its axis.  People were very frightened.  The governments of men and the scientists and the religious leaders were meeting to see what might be done about this.  (Nothing can be done for it is God who has made this happen.)  A TV newscaster was trying to report the story on TV but he was so frightened that he just stopped speaking and stood up and left the studio.   What about the 14 plagues and woes of the great tribulation?   (Discussed on this Podcast)   *****   I believe these scriptures show us that the order of the end times will be:   * Many antichrist move into the churches as ministers speak perverse things, and the churches fall away from various scriptures.   (II Thess. 2:3-4)  This has been happening since the death of Paul.  (Acts 20:29-30) Thus the church divided into denominations.  Many antichrist doctrines are taught in the churches today. Many doctrines are opposite to that doctrine of Christ taught in the Bible.   Example: Mt. 5:32  Jesus says: " ... and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Churches teach another doctrine today and permit men to marry divorced women.  This is antichrist.   *  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.   * The great tribulation is sent by God:  (Revelation 8, 9, 16)   * Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (Matthew 24:29)   * Then Jesus comes through the clouds and gathers the church to Himself.  (Matthew 24:30) ***   Specific information about the great tribulation:   God directed me to focus on the following:  1/3 of the earth as shown in the first, second, and third plagues.   Revelation 8:   6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.   7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.   8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.   10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.   (The concept I was given is since "the third part" of the earth was affected, the other parts of the earth might not even recognize the happening being the plagues of the great tribulation.  And many people in this world do not even know there is such as thing as the great tribulation.  They will look to science for answers.)   Example:  In 2020, great fires raged in the Amazon rain forest, and in sand island in Australia, and in California, destroying large portions of trees and land.  The people who lived in other parts of the world might be unaware this was happening.  Therefore some of the tribulations might go unnoticed.  (I would have missed both Amazon and Australia except for fact that I saw this listed on CNN on my Internet.)   Woe #4 when the sun and moon and stars go dark for 1/3 of the time will awaken everyone to the problem.   The primary situation showing the coming of Jesus is the shaking of the solar system by God for then comes Jesus.   So when the sun goes dark and the moon fails to give light and the stars begin to fall look up for your redemption grows nigh.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 25, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The word, "Rapture", is used in many churches to describe the church being removed from this present earth and taken into heaven.   The first time I ever heard this word, "Rapture" used at church, I was very shocked.   I checked New Testament Bible and found this word, "Rapture", is not in the Bible.  It is a word that was made up by man.   I never use this word to describe the church being taken into heaven.   The following scriptures wonderfully tell us what will happen:   I Thessalonians 4:13-17 ... The dead in Christ rise first.   13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), 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 (precede) them which are asleep (dead).   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:   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.   ("In the air" is very important for it shows us Jesus' kingdom will not be on the present earth.  After we are removed from this earth, God will destroy this heaven and earth by fire.  We will be in our new spiritual bodies and will be taken to the New Heaven and the New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.)   I Corinthians 15:48-52  ... We are changed into new spiritual bodies.   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.   (On this earth we have the physical form resembling our parents.  In heaven we will have the form of God and Jesus which is a spiritual form.)   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.   ***** An artist depicted the rising of the church but this artist showed individuals rising out of their autos in their present physical bodies.  This will not happen.  First those on the earth at the time Jesus returns will be changed into the spiritual bodies.  This physical body does not rise for it is corruptible, subject to physical disease and pain and emotions which are hurtful.  In heaven, there will be no pain, nor sorrow, nor death ... thus in heaven there will be no physical type body as we know the body today.   ***   Revelation 21:1-5  ...  We are taken to the new heaven and the new earth.   1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 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.   ***   II Peter 3:10-14  ... This earth is destroyed by God.   10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 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?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 17, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In the Bible, concerning the end time, we read:   Daniel 12:1-3   And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.  2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.  3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.   During the plagues, the scientists will look for reasons for the various happenings, as they always look for reasons.   But in Daniel 12:10, we read:  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.   The plagues and woes of the great tribulation are divided into two parts.   The first seven plagues are loosed by individual angels who sound their trumpets.   Revelation 8 & 9   The first trumpet sounds and there comes hail and fire mingled with blood coming on 1/3 of the earth.   The second trumpet sounds and a great mountain burning with fire is cast into the sea and 1/3 of the sea became blood and the 1/3 part of the creatures in the sea died and 1/3 part of the ships were destroyed.   The third trumpet sounds and a great star which was burning fell from heaven and it fell upon 1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of waters and the waters became bitter and many men died of the waters.   The fourth trumpet sounds and the third part of the sun and moon and stars were "smitten" so they were dark, and the day shown not for 1/3 part and the night likewise.   The fifth trumpet sounded and a great star fell from heaven and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit which he unlocked, bringing smoke of a great furnace which darkened the sun and air and out of the smoke came locust upon the earth and they had great power to hurt those men for five months who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads.   The sixth trumpet sounded and the 4 angels which were bound in the Euphrates were loosed and killed the third part of men.   The seventh angel sounded and made the declaration that there should be time no more.   Then 7 more angels poured out vials of the wrath of God upon the earth:   Revelation 16  (each angel pored out a vial of the wrath of God)   * There fell a smelly and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast and which worshipped the image of the beast.   * The sea became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea.   * The fountains and rivers of water became blood.   * The vial was poured out on the sun and great heat scorched men with fire.   * The next vial was poured out on the seat of "the beast" and his kingdom was made full of darkness and the men of his kingdom suffered pain and gnawed their tongues.   * The sixth vial was poured on the river Euphrates and the water dried up, and three unclean spirits like frogs came out of the mouth of the dragon and the beast and the false prophet, for they are the spirits of devils working miracles.   * The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air and a great voice from heaven said, "It is done." And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings and a great earthquake, and the cities of nations fell, and every island fled away and every mountain disappeared, and great hail fell, and men blasphemed God.

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?   The only thing important is:  What does God say?   By the New Testament Bible, we set our thinking to match God's view.   ***   Consider this:   I Corinthians 7:39   The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   In churches, people are often told, "We don't go by the law in the New Testament church."    We don't go by the law of Moses concerning sacrifice of animals for sins, but we still go by the New Testament laws of God as the New Testament church.   Romans 7:1-3  Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   I Corinthians 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.   Matthew 5:32  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.   (If a husband divorces a faithful wife and she remarries, she will commit adultery but her husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery.  And the man who marries this divorced woman commits adultery.)   Mark 10   2 And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus), and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM.   3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?   4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.   5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.   6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.   7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;   8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.   9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.   10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.   11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.   12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.   At the marriage ceremony, most couples vow that marriage is "till death do them part."  That is certainly what God teaches.   ***   In the Bible, the apostle Paul shows us how the two become one flesh.   I Corinthians 6:15-16  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.  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.   (Even if a man has sex with a prostitute, the two become one flesh.)   How do you separate one flesh?   You can't explain it away by divorce papers from a civil court.   Therefore God says:  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.  (I Corinthians 6:18)   Sexual sins are different from all other sins.   ***   Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:   Romans 1:25-27   Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   26 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.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.   45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.   The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth.  They do not have the Holy Spirit in them though they say "Jesus is Lord".  So like their father, the devil, when they speak they speak lies and they do not understand the truth therefore they do not repent of their sins.   *  But the righteous understand  ... and are therefore refined and purified in the tribulations ... and repent of their past sins.   But none of the wicked understand.  (Daniel 12:10)

We are not told by GOD to do any of these things the people of this world do concerning their holiday, Christmas.   At one point, God even said HE hated those solemn feasts:   Isaiah 1:13-17   Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto ME; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide MINE eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before MINE eyes; cease to do evil;  17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.   Men establish so many feasts and holidays which are not appointed by God and they become idols of worship to men.  Much sorrow comes through these things which are not called for by God.   In the early Christmas, it was a worship to the "sun" for the long winter was ending in the north countries.   When God commands something, how often does the world flock to do that commandment?   The vast popularity of Christmas testifies to it being something of man that he thought to be a good idea.   There is no word from God in the Bible to "celebrate" Christmas or Easter.  These were ideas of man and set up by pagan men and became idols of men.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 9, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In both the Old and New Testament we have strong warning about the misuse of the Word of God.   God gave very specific instruction concerning the building of the ark of the covenant.  It was to be made from specific wood and covered inside and outside with pure gold.  For the ark was to contain the most precious thing of all things on this entire earth.  What did they carry in the ark?  rubies, gold, diamonds?   No that which they carried was far more precious than the most precious things of this world.   God said:  "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee."   And only select men could carry the ark.  When a man who was not appointed to touch the ark, reached up and steadied the ark when the oxen stumbled, God struck this man dead.   II Samuel 6:1-7  Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.  And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.   And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.  And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.   And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.   And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.   Uzzah was not one of the men who was appointed by God to touch the ark, the Bible.   Paul explains to us that because men use the Bible unworthily, many are weak and sickly and many die.   *****   In the New Testament, Paul says, I Corinthians 11:27-31 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.   30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).   31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.   (In this scripture, Paul is speaking of the way we use the Bible.)   Using the Bible is a very serious matter.  The examples of the Old Testament show how precious the Word of God is and how it must be handled carefully.  This is confirmed in the New Testament.   Jesus, The Word of God, is above rubies and all other things to see or desire.   Because of the misuse of the Word of God, many today are weak and sickly and many die.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 19, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   If we confess in our hearts that Jesus is Lord, then Jesus, The Word, rules over us and we obey the scriptures and see the Word as Lord.   Romans 10:9-11  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on HIM (The Word) shall not be ashamed.   Jesus said many would come saying He is the Christ and they would deceive many.   These are those who confess with their mouth but do not believe the Word in their hearts.  They believe something other than the scripture of the New Testament Bible and therefore they do something other than the instruction given by scripture.   Matthew 24:4-5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.   They say Jesus is Lord and they say they are Christians, but they do not believe all the scriptures, such as:   * The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  Matthew 5:32   * If a woman leaves her husband let her remain "unmarried" or be reconciled with her husband.  I Corinthians 7:10-11   * Homosexuals and lesbians have been turned over by God to do "vile affections."  Romans 1:26-27   Some will believe some scripture but not all of these scriptures because of their personal preferences.   One person might believe homosexuals are wrong but might believe it is permissible for a man to marry a divorced woman.   We who are of God are rebuilt by God to believe all the scriptures not just some scripture.   Thereby we have the Spirit of Truth in us and are led by the Spirit of Truth.   Flesh cannot understand things of God with the natural mind.  Only when the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, lives in us can we understand things of God.   I 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 said there were already many antichrist in the church in his day.  (I John 2:18)   Paul said to the elders at Ephesus that he knew there were men among them who were just waiting for him to depart so they could bring "perverse" things into the church.  (Acts 20:30)   After Jesus was taken into heaven, antichrist could set up various denominations and teach what he wanted to teach in the churches, things opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Bible.   II Thessalonians 2:4  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.The falling away from scripture was sitting there among those elders in the church at Ephesus as the apostle Paul warned, recorded for us in Acts 20.   And the falling away from the doctrines of the scriptures has been taking place in church groups for 2000 years before the eyes of those who can see.   And today the churches have grown closer and closer to this world through the changing of doctrines from the instruction of the New Testament Bible in order to draw men to themselves just as Paul said in Acts 20.   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.   Thus setting up their own denominations, dividing the church of Jesus Christ.   But the falling away began from the time Jesus was resurrected and the true doctrine was given to the men of God which became the New Testament for us where all scripture is inspired by God.  (II Timothy 3:16)  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 12, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   From the time we are born again we carefully construct ourselves as the temple of God which houses the Word of God.  We cover ourselves continually, day by day, with pure gold of the Word of the New Testament, living that Word on this earth.   As the apostle Paul says, we present our bodies a living sacrifice, " holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."  (Romans 12:1)   In the Old Testament, God was very specific about the building of the ark which would house the Word of God.  (Exodus 25-27)   How much more careful should we be about the construction of "the temple" (ourselves) which houses the Word of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit today?   I Corinthians 3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.   In this Podcast, we will look at the directions God gave in building the ark of the tabernacle in the Old Testament and consider how we must go forward in God as "HIS temple" housing all that is holy for the New Testament church today and for the world.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.   ***   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.   9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.   ***   And there are many other OT promises valid today for those who love the Word of God and believe that which God says and lives by those Words in his life on this present earth.

The appointment was scheduled about 2 months earlier.  I knew there was a possibility of a root canal.   Every time during those weeks approaching the appointment when I thought of the appointment, I prayed, asking God for help.  I asked God to help the dentist in the decisions that she made, and that she not do more to me than needed. I asked God to keep me from being hurt.  I even prayed that I not be afraid.   I had asked God to help me to physically get ready for the appointment, to get my hair washed and get shower.  (I'm 83 and this can be difficult.)   On the Saturday before the appointment, all of a sudden I asked Pam if we could go get my hair cut that afternoon.  This is one of those non-appointment shops we go to.  But because of the rise in Coronavirus we had not been for about 3 months.  There was no difficulty at all in getting into the shop.  It was 2 days after the American holiday, Thanksgiving Day.  The hair operator said they had been very busy but that day was "slow".  I was so glad.  I had asked God not to let either Pam or myself get Coronavirus.   The day of the dental appointment, I was easily able to take shower.   It took two hours for dentist to do the work on my tooth.  I felt no pain at all, neither during the procedure nor after.  Dentist said she decided to remove the crown and drill out the decay and not do a root canal.  She said, "Let's try this first."   I thanked God for answering each part of my prayer.   And I was "careful for nothing" because I had prayed according to Philippians 4:6.   It is so important for each of us to live a "carefree" life through God day by day, second by second.   I had even prayed if there was any reason I should cancel that appointment that God would show me.  But no reason manifest itself so I went on to the appointment.   Even after all the dental work was done, there was not one second of pain or discomfort.   "Let your requests be made known unto God."

  There are 14 total plagues before the end of this world when God destroys this present heaven and earth by fire.  But after the 4th plague when the sun goes dark for 1/3 of the normal day, and the moon and stars fail to shine for 1/3 part of the day, everyone will know the great tribulation from God has begun.   ***   Man fails to repent.   Revelation 9   6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.   20  And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:   21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.   Even today, we see ministers who will not repent of those things they speak wrongly, making things up concerning the Bible.  They even admit when confronted that the Bible does not say that which they said, but they have no sorrow for the way they made things up.  And they will not repent over that which they have done.   And their congregations know things are wrong but they stay in their church groups regardless.   2 Thessalonians 2   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.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 7, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   When we believe the Word of God we are filled with joy and peace and hope.   There are thousands upon thousands of great promises of God for us in the Bible.    2 Peter 1:4   Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.   When the Holy Spirit of God reminds us of one of these promises of God in the situation of this present life, we can focus on that promise and live above the troubles of this world because we know the God who created this world is far greater than this world.  We hope in God!   The church is built upon that Word which God reveals to us in the problems of this life.  We stand upon "that word", the word that comes to us from God by HIS Spirit.  Therein is power.   *****   We have great joy and peace and hope for we believe Jesus will return and gather the church.  Jesus will raise the dead in Christ and Jesus will remove those who are still living who are of God from this present earth.   How do we know these things?   The Bible tells us this.   I Thessalonians 4   13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), 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 (precede) 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:   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.   ***   We will all be changed into our new spiritual bodies:   I Corinthians 15   The apostle Paul says:   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.   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.   ***   Then we will be taken to the new heaven and the new earth which is prepared by God for all who are righteous.   Revelation 21  The apostle John says:   1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 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.   ***   There will be no unrighteous in that new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem.   Revelation 22  Jesus says:   12  And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be.   13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.   14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.   15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.   ***   In the end, God will destroy this present heaven and earth by fire.   II Peter 3   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 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?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.   ***   And this present heaven and earth will not even come to mind.   Isaiah 65  God says:   17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.   18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.   19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in MY people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

(John 6:54)   How do we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood?   Jesus is "THE WORD".  Each time we eat the Word and make it a part of our lives on this earth by doing The Word, HE, Jesus lives in us.   This is the communion with God.  This is the way we partake of the Lord's Supper.  We eat The Word, doing The Word.   This causes us to live in Jesus.   *****   John 6  (Jesus says)   33  For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.   35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.   48  I (The Word) am that bread of life.   51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread (The Word), he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.   54  Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood (The Word), hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.   55  For MY flesh is meat indeed, and MY blood is drink indeed.   56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him.   (As we eat "The Word" that is given to us by God by the Holy Spirit, and as we live that Word in our daily lives, we live in HIM, in Jesus, The Word.)   57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME, even he shall live by ME.   ***   John 14:6  (Jesus says)  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.   THE Word, given us by the Holy Spirit, is the way to go.  The Word is truth and life.  The Word is Jesus.   ***   John 1   1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.   2 The same was in the beginning with God.   3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.   4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.   ***   Matthew 7  (Jesus says)   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.   24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:   25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.   26 And every one that heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:   27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 17, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Some preachers speak of a difference between the "God" of the Old Testament and the "God" of the New Testament, as if God has changed.   These preachers disregard scriptures such as:   Galatians 6:7-8   Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.   II Corinthians 5:9-11  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. 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.  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;   I Corinthians 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.   And in the book of Revelation, we read of that great tribulation, the 14 plagues God will send upon this present earth in the last days before Jesus returns.   Revelation 8   6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.   7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.   8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;  9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.   10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;  11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.   12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.   13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!   *****   Revelation 9   6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.   20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:  21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.   Matthew 24    Jesus says:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.   29-31  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31 And HE shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   ***   Then God destroys the present heavens and the earth:   II Peter 3   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 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?   13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.   ***   After we meet Jesus in the air, we are taken to that new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.   Revelation 21   1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 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.

Refuse to let go.   Just keep crying out to God.   Joan Boney   *****   We cry out to God for help:  "Please, God, help me."   It is really as simple as that.   Trust in God.  Wait on God until you receive information.   It is very dangerous to look for scripture in such times.  Just wait after crying out to God, trusting HIM.   God might choose to bring something to your attention to do, or the battle might just end.   Regardless, we hold onto God, crying out to God for help.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 15, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   What do we do? as we continue to live on this present earth.   I go by these instructions which Paul gave to Timothy in the New Testament Bible:   I Timothy 4   13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.   14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee  ... (the spiritual gift which God has given us for the church)   15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.   16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.   *****   * to reading:   The New Testament Bible is filled with letters which the apostle Paul wrote to the church.   I've been re-reading these epistles in a single setting.  Such as reading the entire letter to the Romans.   Then I read the next day the entire first letter to the Corinthians ... then the second letter to the Corinthians ... then the following days, reading the letters: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, etc.   I also focus on some of the meditation scriptures which I have accumulated for these build me up in the faith in God and help me to stay focused.   I read our blog daily:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations    In my bathroom, I keep one of the ministry books that we have published on Amazon.  (see Joan Boney)   These books are filled with scripture.  I use paperback book for bathroom.  You can start anywhere in any one of the books and be edified in things of God with many scriptures.  I find re-reading these books helpful to me.   Often as I am reading, God will catch my attention on a subject for me to write that subject.  For example, when I began reading I Corinthians 1:1-2  Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:  God got my attention on how we are all called to be saints.   I thought of how the Catholic church appoints certain dead men and women as "saints" and how they teach their people that these dead "saints" have certain powers to help them, which is abominable doctrine for they teach their people to trust in corpses rather than to trust in the living God.   I was stirred up by the Holy Spirit to write an exhortation to the church concerning the subject of "saints" according to the Bible meaning.   ***   * to exhortation:   To exhort means to urge earnestly by advice and warning.  We are to exhort one another in the faith in God and the Word of God.  For the days are certainly evil and many evil concepts are spoken by humans on TV and in person.   I Timothy 4:7-8   But refuse profane (secular sayings) and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.  8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.   A Catholic woman often visited me at my previous home in Texas.  She spoke many "profane" sayings which were not in the Bible.  I would just look at her and tell her I lived by the Bible and what she just said was not in the Bible.  This is the way I "rejected" her profane sayings.   When you do this, they will usually depart from you and choose not to keep company with you any more.   ***   *  to doctrine:   Doctrine is critical for us.  Doctrine are the rules of God from the New Testament church.  We live by doctrines, such as:   * The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 5:32)   * Flee fornication:  Every sin that a man doeth is without the body but he who committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.  (I Corinthians 6)   * 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.  (I Corinthians 7:10-11)   *  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.   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;  (Romans 1:26-28)   * 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. (I Corinthians 6:9-10)   * For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  (Hebrews 10:26-29)   * For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame.  (Hebrews 6:4-6)   * For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.  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.  But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.  (II Peter 2:20-22)   It is critical for us to keep reading these doctrines of Christ for this world and the churches today teach something very different from the New Testament Bible.   ***   So I have set myself daily to do that which Paul said to do:  "Give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine."   I believe doing this gives me a better opportunity to endure to the end of my time on this earth.   Jesus says:   Matthew 24:12-13   And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 10, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In the New Testament Bible in Romans 1:26, God calls homosexual and lesbian acts "vile affections." In the Old Testament, when a king of the children of Israel removed the Sodomites from the city, that king was said to be a king who did right in the sight of God. (I Kings 22:43-46)   God sent 2 angels to Sodom to destroy the city and all the people except for Lot and his wife and two daughters.   When homosexuals came from every quarter of Sodom to have sex with the two angels, Lot said to the men of Sodom,   "I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly."  (Genesis 19:7)   The homosexual acts of the men of Sodom were known to be wicked.   And these men of Sodom did not try to hide their homosexual preferences, but they were openly known to be homosexuals, and their wickedness reached God, and God sent the angels to destroy these men and to destroy Sodom and all the people in Sodom.   The angel explained to Lot:   Genesis 19:12-13   And the men (the angels) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:   13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.   When the sins become open before all, then the cry "of them" as they flaunt their sin waxes great before God and God deals with their open sins.   Isaiah 3:9   The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.   The time of judgment is upon this world.   The Catholic pope announced to the world on October 21, 2020, that same sex marriages would be approved in Catholic church when they were performed in civil ceremonies.   The Catholic pope condemns himself and his followers to eternal hell by his approval of sins against God.   And such also is the case of protestant preachers who approve sins of the Bible in their church groups.   II Thessalonians 2:10-12  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   *****   Revelation 22   Jesus says:   11 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.   13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.   14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.   15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.   ***   Romans 1   22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,   23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.   24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:   25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   26 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.   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;   ***   They would not repent ... or could not repent:   II 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.   9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   Revelation 2:21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.   Revelation 9:20  And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:   Revelation 16:9   And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.   Revelation 16:11  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. ***   Deuteronomy 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 9, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    At the time we are born again, God gives us HIS Spirit to live in us to teach us all things, to remind us of all Jesus has said to us, to guide us into all truth and to show us things to come.  (John 14:26 &16:13)   A mighty power of God lives in us.   Ephesians 3:20  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,   * God brings thoughts to our minds by HIS Spirit to show us what to do.   * God speaks to us through dreams.   * God sometimes gives us an open vision.   * Angels are still used by God to deliver instructions.   * God gives us special gifts of the Holy Spirit to place us where HE wants us to serve HIM.   God has given the believer every advantage on this earth.   We grow and thrive through God.   *****   The Holy Spirit of Jesus lives in each believer and that Spirit searches the mind of God to show the believer the will of God in the issues pertaining to this present life.   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?   I Corinthians 2   9 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, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.    ***   The Holy Spirit of Jesus dwells in us and is with us day and night.  We are never left alone.   The Spirit teaches us all things, reminds us of all that Jesus has said to us, guides us into all truth, and shows us things to come.  (John 14:26 & 16:13)   The Holy Spirit of Jesus speaks to us by bringing thoughts, concepts, ideas to our minds so we can know what to do in the specific issues of this present life.   And the Word of God also comes to us by dreams, visions, messages sent by angels.   Sometimes God just plants HIS will directly into our hearts as is described in the following scripture:   Hebrews 8  God says:   10 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.    ***   John 6  Jesus says:   35  And Jesus said unto them, I (The Word) am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.   44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I (The Word) will raise him up at the last day.   Jesus comes "with a shout" and the dead in Christ rise first.  I Thessalonians 4:16   Then they which are alive on the earth are changed into their spiritual bodies and arise to meet Jesus and the dead who have risen "in the air".  And they are taken to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.  Revelation 21:1-5   The great tribulation from God comes to this earth to judge the wickedness of men.  Revelation 8-16   Then the heavens and earth as we know it are destroyed by fire from God.  II Peter 3:10-14 ***   But as long as God chooses to leave us on this present earth, HE guides us and teaches us by the Holy Spirit of Jesus who lives in us and we follow HIM.   We do not follow the ideas of man but we follow the Spirit of God and the Holy Scriptures.   Therefore we serve God by following HIS Spirit.   ***   Hebrews 1:1-2  God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds;   John 1   1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.   2 The same was in the beginning with God.   3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.   The Word comes to us today and we follow The Word.   ***   The kingdom of Jesus is not of this world.   John 18:36   Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.   When we learn this principle, we stop focusing on this world and we wait patiently to be taken off this world by Jesus and be taken to the new heaven and new earth created for God's people, wherein dwells only righteousness.   Revelation 22  Jesus says:   12 And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be.   13 I (The Word) am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.   14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.   15 For without are dogs, sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 5, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Jesus came to this earth in the form of a man for a short while.   Jesus was in heaven with God as "The Word", a spirit.   But The Word took on the form of a man to be able to suffer and die for us that we could be saved.   Then Jesus was raised from the dead by God and our sins were covered by Jesus' own blood.   But some think to crucify Jesus afresh by doing sins after they have had their sins paid for by Jesus' blood.   And many religious people today picture a type of human form of Jesus which is to create Jesus again to suffer in the flesh of man.   But Jesus is a Spirit as God is a Spirit as the Holy Spirit is Spirit.   And Jesus says:   John 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.   Jesus is revealed to us today each time the Spirit of Jesus brings "The Word" to our minds so we can know what to do on this present earth.   As we do "The Word" we worship God in spirit and in truth.   And today Jesus lives in each believer.   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?   After Jesus was taken back into heaven, HE appears no more to us on this earth in the form of a man.  But HE lives in us and speaks to us by HIS Spirit.   Those religious people today who desire to see a human form of Jesus would have Jesus suffer again in the flesh of man.  That will not happen.   But in the end times, there will be "false Christs" who appear, perhaps in vision, to try to get individuals to do something or to try to get individuals to follow them to some place.   Jesus says:  Do not go with them.  Do not believe them.  (Matthew 24)  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 24, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    In 2016, I was watching TV and happened upon the Democratic National Convention.  As they showed the delegates, the cameras viewed in on a woman.  Something seemed wrong.  She was wearing a dress.  She had on heels and women's jewelry.  She wore a woman's make-up.  Then I realized she was a man dressed as a woman!  A slight beard had begun to appear on her face.  I was very shocked!   Somehow seeing this man dressed as a woman at a political convention showed me how very evil the world of politics is today.    A Christian could not be a part of being involved in such worldly evil.    The Bible says the following concerning homosexuals and lesbians.   Romans 1:24-28   Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   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.   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;   As a Christian, we cannot participate in anything that is contrary to Bible for the apostle John says to approve such and wish them well would be to make ourselves as a participant in their evil deeds.   II John   8 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.   Politics in every way is filled with hatred and will cause the Christian to hate and to fight the other party.   And we must abstain from those things which cause us to hate.   To vote for either party is to approve worldly men who do evil things.   Instead, the apostle Paul says to pray for those in authority.   I Timothy 2:1-2  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.   If we learn to hate the other political party, how can we pray for those in authority if they win the election?   As Christians we are separated from the work of worldly men and women.  We live in this world but are not of this world.  Our goal is to live in peace, without spot and blameless in the sight of God, as we wait for Jesus who takes us out of this world and takes us to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.  (II Peter 3:14 & Revelation 21:21-5)   We cannot be a part of politics and vote for men of this world allowing ourselves to be a part of their evil.   This is explained in this podcast.    *****   I Thessalonians 5   1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.   2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.   3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.   4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.   5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.   6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.   7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.   8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.   9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,   10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.   11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.   ***   * "Peace and safety "   In the 1960's in Texas if a homosexual was caught, he was put in prison.  It was against the law to be homosexual in Texas.   Today homosexuals are safe in USA as never before.  They have to be saying "peace & safety" as never before.   Homosexuals and lesbians can even draw benefits from USA government as married couples.   They are protected in their jobs in USA.  People are forbidden in the work force today to speak that which the Bible says about homosexuals and lesbians.   The leaders of the Catholic church have publicly accepted same sex marriages.   Nothing can touch homosexuals and lesbians today ... except for God!   Adultery and fornication, sex outside of marriage between men and women, is often approved and protected in USA.  Adultery and fornication approved and accepted by society as "normal".  We are rarely shocked by anything today for it appears over and over before our eyes.   The churches invite all to come to church.   The doctrines of Christ have been silenced and removed in the church groups so no one will be offended in their various sins which are approved at the churches.   All is well!   A time of "peace and safety" ... surely we draw nearer to the coming wrath of God, the great tribulation (Revelation 8-16), upon this earth and the removal of the godly from this earth.   Jesus says:   Matthew 24   21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.   29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31 And HE (Jesus) shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   II Peter 3   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 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?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 11, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   A woman in our church group was divorced and went to a pastor to see if she could remarry after divorce.    The pastor told her:  "My sister divorced and remarried.  I don't see anything wrong with that."   A few years ago, the Catholic pope made a televised statement that he didn't see anything wrong about homosexuals.   Neither of these men read the Bible.   So this divorced woman remarried.   A few years later this woman was born again and began reading the Bible.  When I met her and she told me this story, she was really angry at that pastor who told her she could remarry.  By the scriptures she saw she committed adultery when she remarried.   The vast majority of churches today present a freedom to sin by telling the divorced woman she can remarry after divorce.  They ignore what the Bible says and set up another doctrine.  They present to their church groups "another Jesus", another word.   There are several scriptures on this subject of divorce/remarriage and they all agree:   *****   I Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   ***   Romans 7:1-3   1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?   2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.   3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   This scripture is "inspired by God", as are all scriptures.   Paul wrote this to the New Testament Church as a "law of God" for the women.   Yet churches today explained this scripture away by saying we are not under the law in the church today.   This foolishness in handling scripture is despicable and damning to the church.  There are many "laws of God" in the New Testament Bible including this law in Romans 7.  If you eliminate this concerning the woman being under the law (rule) of her husband, you have to remove most of the New Testament Bible and even some of the Old Testament for God said:  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  (Gen. 3:19)   We are not under the Old Testament laws of God concerning sacrifice for sins for Jesus is our sacrifice for sins but that is not the same subject as remarriage after divorce.   Romans 7:1-3 is a valid rule for women in the New Testament church.  And when we consider the following scriptures on this subject, notice they agree with Romans 7.   ***   Paul said the following is the commandment for the Lord in the New Testament Church:   I Corinthians 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.   ***   Mark 10:6-9  Jesus says:  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.   11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.   12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.   ***    Here is one of the most misused scriptures of all twisted teachings in today's church.   Matthew 5:32  Jesus says, in speaking to the men of the church:  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.   * If a man divorces a "faithful wife", and that faithful wife remarries, she will commit adultery but her husband will be the cause of her adultery.   * The man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.   But churches are twisting this scripture and teaching the following:  "If a husband is committing fornication, the wife can divorce that husband and remarry."   This is not correct:  The scripture says if the wife is faithful and her husband divorces her and she remarries she will commit adultery. But her husband will be the cause of her adultery upon her remarriage after divorce.  And the man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.   ***   If the divorced woman remarries she commits adultery according to the Bible.   Matthew 19   3 The Pharisees also came unto HIM (to Jesus), tempting HIM, and saying unto HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?   4 And HE (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,   5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?   6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.   Paul explains that at the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh:  Even if a man has sex with a prostitute they become "one flesh".   I Corinthians 6:15-16  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. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.   ***   Matthew 19:7-9  They say unto HIM, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?   8 HE (Jesus) saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.   If the wife is unfaithful, the husband can divorce that unfaithful wife and remarry.   But the same is not true for the wife with an unfaithful husband because Paul said in I Corinthians 7:10-11, this is the commandment of the Lord for the woman in the New Testament church.  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.   ***   So if you are a divorced woman, according to Bible, you are to remain unmarried or return to your husband.   If the woman's husband is dead, she is free to remarry but only in the Lord.   I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   ***   These scriptures are "freedom from sin" to those who follow these instructions.   A woman called me once wanting to discuss with me her mother's second marriage.   God said to me:  "Just focus on the scriptures and what they say."

God forbid.   16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.   (Even if the woman is a prostitute, you become one flesh with her at the time of sexual intercourse.  Do you really want to do this?)   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.   (Sexual sins are sins against your own body.  Sexual sins are different from all other sins.)   It is not simply a matter of birth control.  It is a sin against yourself and a sin against the Word of God.   And sex joining you to that other person fragments your soul for you can't separate by walking away.  That, being one flesh, stays with you whether you think so or not.   Truths from Bible help greatly.   And in the temptation, you can escape if you will do the following:   Ask God to help you.  Ask God not to let you do this.   God is more powerful than our flesh.   (Teach your children these things.)   Many young women today live as unpaid whores.   God says:   Deuteronomy 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.   If you are the church, take note of the above.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 4, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Jesus says, in the end times, "false Christs" will appear in "secret chambers", which I believe to be private areas in homes such as bedrooms,  I believe some church people will report seeing Jesus appear to them in their "chamber".   Just all of a sudden there will be a human type figure which will display himself as Jesus and the person will believe it is Jesus appearing, but it will be a false Christ.   Jesus warns us as follows:   Matthew 24   23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.   24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.   25 Behold, I have told you before.   26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, HE is in the desert; go not forth: behold, HE is in the secret chambers; believe it not.   (If anyone comes saying, "I saw Jesus in my bedroom,"  believe it not!)   27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.   When I attended the church group Word of Faith in the early 1980's, individuals often came saying they had seen an angel.  I always wondered about this for they never told any message sent by the angel or anything that angel did.  I felt their visions might be conjured from their own minds.   Paul warns:   Colossians 2:18  Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 2, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   As we live on this present earth, The Word, Jesus, is our light.  HE brings thoughts to our mind to show us the way to go and we, who belong to Him, follow His Word.   John 10:10  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.   Devils also bring thoughts to our mind.  But their goal is to steal, to kill, and to destroy. We flee from those ideas brought by devils.   If we belong to God, we recognize the voice of Jesus, The Word, The Holy Spirit of Jesus.   Jesus said:  John 10:4-5  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.   Jesus comes to us that we might have life and have it even more abundantly than we already have life.   So those thoughts that steal, kill and destroy are thoughts of devils and we do not follow those instructions.  Devils also bring thoughts of the past to torment us and destroy us if we will let that happen. Thoughts from devils bring sadness, discomfort, torment.   We recognize it is a devil bringing such thoughts and we call out to God for help and God does help us when we turn to HIM. And we flee from thoughts from devils and we follow the thoughts sent by God by HIS Spirit.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 1, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   As we wait for the return of Jesus where HE take us off this earth and takes us to the new heaven and the new earth, the apostle Peter says to us the following concerning how we are to live as we wait for Jesus.   II Peter 3:13-14   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 in peace, without spot, and blameless.   We cannot be involved in the schemes of this present world.  We can't give approval to political parties where much evil is being done and where Bible is flaunted in hypocritical ways before our faces. We can't protest in the streets.  Our kingdom is not of this world.  We are just waiting on this earth for Jesus to return and remove us from this earth and take us to the new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells.  This present earth will never be righteous regardless of what we might try to do.   Righteousness is in the new heaven and the new earth which God has prepared for HIS people.   Romans 12:2  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.   Pray for those in authority, but don't entangle yourself with them.   I Timothy 2:1-3   I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;   And Paul says:   II Timothy 2:3-4   Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who hath chosen him to be a soldier.   As those chosen by God, follow God and serve God, doing the Word of God according to the New Testament Bible.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 4, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Focus on what the New Testament Bible says concerning the matter at hand.  We renew our minds to the Bible rather than considering that which people say about the subject.    The Bible is truth from God.   Concerning sexual intercourse:  At the time of sexual intercourse the two become one flesh.   Paul warns the men of his time:  I Corinthians 6 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, 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.   19 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.   Notice that Paul says sexual sins are unlike all other sins.  Verse 18:  Sexual sins are sins against your own body.   In I Corinthians 6, the apostle Paul also warns about other sins:  And Paul says they that do such sins will not inherit the kingdom of God.    9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,  10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.   Christians are baptized unto the death of Christ that they might walk in newness of life serving God.  (Romans 6)   God gives each of us HIS own spirit to show us what to do on this present earth.  (John 14:26 & John 16:13)   And we have the New Testament Bible to confirm to us rules of God and the will of God.   II Timothy 3:16-17   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.   So we renew our minds to the scriptures, seeing the will of God for us.  We establish our way by scripture, building our house on that which God says as we walk on this present earth.   Here are more things shared in this Podcast which enable us to renew our mind of that which God says.   *****   Divorce/remarriage:   I Corinthians 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.   Romans 7:1-3  Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  3  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   Matthew 5:32   But I say unto you (says Jesus), 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.   Matthew 19:9   And I  (Jesus) say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.   * If a faithful wife is divorced by her husband, she will commit adultery if she remarries. (Mt. 5:32)   * The husband who divorced the faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries.  (Mt. 5:32)   * The man who divorces a faithful wife and marries another woman commits adultery.  (Mt. 19:9)   *  The man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.  (Mt. 5:32 & Mt. 19:9)   Mark 10  6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.  7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;  8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.   11-12   And HE (Jesus) saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.   Several years ago, a woman contacted me wanting to talk to me about her mother's second marriage.  God said to me:  "Don't focus on the circumstances of the second marriage.  Just focus on that which the Bible says."   ***   Concerning homosexuals & lesbians:   Romans 1   18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;   19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.   20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:   21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.   22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,   23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.   24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:   25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   26 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.   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;   When they say they were just born that way, here is what the Spirit of God says:   Mark 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.   ***   Concerning money:   I Timothy 6   5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.   6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.   7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.   8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.   9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.   10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.   11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.   12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.   17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;   18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;   19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.   ***   Walk in the Spirit:   Romans 8:   1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   The flesh will desire to do the works of the flesh which are:  Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, 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.  (Galatians 5:19-21)   Galatians 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.   The Spirit of God lives in us and HE will reminds us of ways to go when we are tempted.  If we walk in the Spirit, we follow what HE says.  If we turn from HIS instructions and follow the desire of our own flesh, we place ourselves in danger of being turned over to a reprobate mind by God.   We crucify our flesh by walking in the way of the Spirit.  Our flesh will suffer when it does not get its way but our soul is spared when we choose to go in the way of the Spirit.   Romans 8   5 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.   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 (stop) 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.   As we read the New Testament Bible, we know the will of God vs. the will of the flesh.   Also we are greatly helped by the Holy Spirit who reminds us of everything that is the will of God.  (I Corinthians 2)   ***   At the judgment seat of Christ:   II 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.   We will be judged by the WORD of God at the judgment seat of Christ, whether or not our actions on this earth agree with that WORD.   The sins we commit before we are born again are paid for by the blood of Jesus.   But to continue willfully in sins after the knowledge of the truth is to crucify Jesus a second time which cannot be done.   Hebrews 10   24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:   25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.   26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,   27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.   28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:   29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?   II Peter 2   20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.   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.   22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.   So we exhort one another:  urge earnestly with advice and warning   It is an extremely bad situation after we have received the knowledge of the truth to turn from that truth and return to our previous way of life of sins of the flesh.   So we pray when tempted and we keep scriptures before us to help us to overcome.   Jesus says:   Revelation 3:5  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.   Matthew 24:12-13  Jesus says, concerning the last days:  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.   Mark 8:36   For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 26, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    We cannot live in peace while tying to live with those who say they are Christians when they will not do scripture and they are not led by the Spirit of God.  For we try to share truth from God with them and they argue with us ... or they go dead and say nothing, just waiting for us to stop talking so they can talk about this world and things they enjoy.   God has a way of escape for us and we must take that way of escape in order to live in peace.   Titus 3:9-11  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.    After we try to share scripture once or twice, and we see them fail to rejoice in that scripture, then we have to just stop trying to share with them and we walk away and keep ourselves from being entangled again with them.   And avoid those who want to strive with us about our doctrine.  For to enter into this is very destructive.   We think we can cause them to understand, but we can't, when they have already rejected the doctrine which we carried to them.  To try to keep teaching them will pull us down with them.  So learn to do Titus 3:10-11  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.   (No entanglements by phone calls, or Birthday cards, or things of the flesh of man to draw them into fleshly relationships.  Just leave them alone.  If they come to God, then they will come to us.)   There is only one Spirit ... so if we both have that Holy Spirit we will agree.  For if there is disagreement, God will cause us to agree.  We don't discuss it to agree.  We have God in us to explain scripture to us and we will be brought to agreement by the Spirit of God when we are both of God.   But we will never come to agreement otherwise.  If one person has the Spirit of God in him and the other person does not have the Spirit of God but is trying to come to God by joining a church and by doing church doctrine, we can't agree about scripture and things of God.   For Paul shows us the following:   I 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.   Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.)   ***   When your mind is filled with confusion, know that you do not have the leading of God and devils are tying to torment you.   Pray and do nothing at all until you are calm again.   ***   James 3   14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.   15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.   16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.   The Word does bring division.  For that person who understands the word will be divided from that person who has joined a church but does not understand the Word of God.   Therefore when a religious person does not have the Spirit of God, he will fail to see the miracle and pick away at the letter of the law, which he has misinterpreted.   Religious people often strain at gnats while swallowing camels.   The church are those individuals who have the Spirit of God in them and who are led by the Spirit of God.   Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.   Paul explains:  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. (I Corinthians 2:14)  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 27, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Jesus tells us to lay up treasure in heaven, not on this present earth.  (Matthew 6:19-20)   As we rejoice in the WORD, we keep our minds stayed on the WORD.  The WORD is our treasure and it is treasure on this earth as we live here and it will be stored up for us also in heaven.   So what WORD is our treasure now?   * THE WORD came to this earth in the form of a man, Jesus, to die for us to pay for our sins with HIS blood.   The people of this world try to save themselves by their own works.   But we are saved by THE WORD, by HIS works.   As we live in the Word, we abide in HIM.   *  I'm also grateful that God did not leave us alone on this earth.  God and Jesus are with each of us constantly to teach us and guide us and even show us things to come.  We are not alone.  Jesus is in us and with us at all times by HIS Spirit.   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?   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  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?   And the Holy Spirit of Jesus who is in us does the following things for us:   John 14:26  Jesus said ...  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.   So we are never alone at any time on this earth.  Jesus dwells in us by HIS Spirit to guide us and teach us.
