Building your house on the word from God

Devils steal, kill, destroy and cause people to act in totally unreasonable ways. This can happen in church people.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
As a new Christian, God cast out of me 3 devils.  I was already born again when this happened.
 
Some church groups are taught that devils cannot live in the same body as the Holy Spirit.
 
Here is what happened which God allowed me to witness although this happened in a dream while I was sleeping in the night.
 
A devil was skipping through my chest cavity and ran into the Holy Spirit in me.  That devil tried to dart back.  It was "a double minded spirit".
 
The Holy Spirit in me said:  "I see you ... you must leave her ... you must go ... you must go ... you must go ..."  I felt like I was choking.  I began coughing.  I felt something tear out of my body through my throat.

Bible examples of effect of devils that are in humans and animals.
 
Matthew 8
 
28 And when HE (Jesus) was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
 
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
 
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
 
31 So the devils besought HIM, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
 
32 And he said unto them, Go. 
 
And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
 
💥💥💥
 
Devils cause people to act in completely irrational ways, saying things through humans that person would never say in his right mind.
 
There was a church person that did this with me from time to time through many years.  At first, I did not recognize it was a devil in her that was fighting against me and even against the Bible.  It was crazy.  But I did not recognize devil until God showed me I would have done this same thing before devils were cast out of me by the Holy Spirit!
 
I Cor. 6
 
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, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
 
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
 
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
 
💥💥💥
 
Devils are twisted, irrational, crazy.  They especially fight against God and Bible.  What they say through church people are completely opposite from scripture.  You certainly cannot reason with devils!  All you can do is cast devils out of people.
 
Devils are spirits.  I think you can command those devils to go from that person and don't come back, even when you are not in the same area where that person lives since they are spirits that you speak to.
 
I have commanded devils to go from a person even when I'm not in the same country as the person.  I have said, "I command you in the name of Jesus to leave her and don't come back to her."  (I use the person's name when I do this.)
 
💥💥💥
 
Recently when I was having trouble with a church woman, God showed me the devil was trying to persuade her in an opposite way from the Bible.
 
I wrote her this e-mail:  God showed this about you:  Devils are trying to get you to believe things opposite to scripture.  You're going to have to fight them and cling to scripture.
 
She responded to me by email saying:  "Thank you."
 
I've found devils doing this to me and I have to hold onto scripture and fight with scripture.
 
Luke 4:  When the devil tempted Jesus, HE had to fight back with scripture which is truth ... and we read:  v. 18  And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from HIM for a season.
 
Only for a season did devil depart.  He will come back to you trying again to persuade you in ways opposite to scripture so be prepared to fight when that happens.
 
I Peter 5
 
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that HE may exalt you in due time:
 
7 Casting all your care upon him; for HE careth for you.
 
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
 
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
 
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
 
I've found devils often attack us when we are overly tired.
 
And as long as we live on this earth devils will attack when possible.
 
After God takes us off the earth we have the total victory if we continue to overcome those thoughts sent by devils and hold fast to faith in God and Christ.

The children of Israel are with their backs to the Red Sea and Pharaoh and all his chariots are coming straight toward them. ? No way to escape. ? Except for what God does.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Exodus 13
 
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
 
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
 
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
 
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
 
21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
 
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
 
Exodus 14
 
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
 
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
 
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
 
💥💥💥
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
 
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
 
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
 
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
 
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
 
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
 
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
 
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
 
💥💥💥
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which HE will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
 
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
 
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
 
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
 
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
 
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

Psalm 78

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
5 For HE established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which HE commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:  6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
 
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep HIS commandments:
 
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
💥💥💥
 
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
 
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in HIS law; 11 And forgat HIS works, and HIS wonders that HE had shewed them.
 
💥💥💥
 
12 Marvellous things did HE in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
 
13 HE divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and HE made the waters to stand as an heap.
 
14 In the daytime also HE led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
 
15 HE clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
 
16 HE brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
 
17 And they sinned yet more against HIM by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
 
18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
 
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
 
20 Behold, HE smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can HE give bread also? can HE provide flesh for HIS people?
 
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
 
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in HIS salvation:
 
23 Though HE had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
 
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
 
25 Man did eat angels' food: HE sent them meat to the full.
 
26 HE caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by HIS power HE brought in the south wind.
 
27 HE rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
 
28 And HE let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
 
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for HE gave them their own desire;
 
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
 
31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
 
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for HIS wondrous works.
 
33 Therefore their days did HE consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
 
💥💥💥
34 When HE slew them, then they sought HIM: and they returned and enquired early after God.
 
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
 
36 Nevertheless they did flatter HIM with their mouth, and they lied unto HIM with their tongues.
 
37 For their heart was not right with HIM, neither were they stedfast in HIS covenant.
 
💥💥💥
38 But HE, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned HE HIS anger away, and did not stir up all HIS wrath.
 
39 For HE remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
 
💥💥💥
40 How oft did they provoke HIM in the wilderness, and grieve HIM in the desert!
 
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
 
💥💥💥
42 They remembered not HIS hand, nor the day when HE delivered them from the enemy.
 
43 How HE had wrought HIS signs in Egypt, and HIS wonders in the field of Zoan:
 
44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
 
45 HE sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
 
46 HE gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
 
47 HE destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
 
48 HE gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
 
49 HE cast upon them the fierceness of HIS anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
 
50 HE made a way to HIS anger; HE spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
 
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
 
52 But made HIS own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
 
53 And HE led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
 
54 And HE brought them to the border of HIS sanctuary, even to this mountain, which HIS right hand had purchased.
 
55 HE cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
 
💥💥💥
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not HIS testimonies:
 
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
 
58 For they provoked HIM to anger with their high places, and moved HIM to jealousy with their graven images.
 
💥💥💥
59 When God heard this, HE was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
 
60 So that HE forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which HE placed among men;
 
61 And delivered HIS strength into captivity, and HIS glory into the enemy's hand.
 
62 HE gave HIS people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with HIS inheritance.
 
63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
 
64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
 
💥💥💥
65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
 
66 And HE smote HIS enemies in the hinder parts: HE put them to a perpetual reproach.
 
67 Moreover HE refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
 
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which HE loved.
 
69 And HE built HIS sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which HE hath established for ever.
 
💥💥💥
70 He chose David also HIS servant, and took HIM from the sheepfolds:
 
71 From following the ewes great with young HE brought HIM to feed Jacob HIS people, and Israel HIS inheritance.
 
72 So HE fed them according to the integrity of HIS heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of HIS hands.

Plague #10 from God upon the Egyptians

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
The children of Israel overcome through God as we today overcome through God.
 
Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says to the church)  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.
 
We go to God in prayer finding out what we are to do and we do that which God tells us to do!
 
Overcoming through God.  We win over every problem, over every enemy of the Word of God, because we are children of God and obey what God shows us to do!
 
The power of God is with us today.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 11:
 
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
 
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
 
3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
 
💥💥💥
 
God's promise to Abraham:
 
Genesis 15
 
13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
 
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
 
(This promise of God was made 400-years earlier and now deliverance is upon the children of Israel and the promise God made to Abraham will be fulfilled!)
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 11
 
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
 
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
 
(God puts a difference between us today who follow God's Word and the world and the apostate churches who cast aside the word of God for what they view as advantage to themselves on this earth.)
 
8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto ME, and bow down themselves unto ME, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out.
 
And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
 
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that MY wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
 
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
 
💥💥💥
 
Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.
 
We should not lose.  We do not lose.  We overcome through God at all times on this earth and through all things.
 
As David said concerning the giant Goliath:  I Samuel 17:26  for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
 
Numbers 13:30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
 
How can we not overcome?  Isn't God in us and with us?  We hear from God and do what HE tells us to do each time a problem surfaces.  That is overcoming through God.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 12
 
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
 
(I Peter 1:19  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:)
 
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
 
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
 
(Under the blood of Jesus and covered by the blood of Jesus.)
 
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
 
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover.
 
(Keep yourself ready to go.)
 
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
 
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt (the world).
 
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
 
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
 
(I Cor. 5:5-7  To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:)
 
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
 
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
 
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
 
💥💥💥
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
 
29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
 
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
 
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
 
(Pharaoh didn't wait till morning to get rid of the people of Israel.)
 
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
 
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
 
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
 
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
 
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.  (It would have been well over a million walking out of Egypt.)
 
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
 
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
 
(They had to depend on God.  Once God said to me, "If need be, I could raise manna in the back yard of your house.")
 
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
 
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
 
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
 
43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

God continues to plague Egypt

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
💥   Plague # 1:  God turns the rivers into blood:
 
Exodus 7
 
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 16 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, 
Let MY people go, that they may serve ME in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. 
17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. 18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
 
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
 
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
 
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
 
💥💥💥
💥  Plague # 2:  God sends frogs upon the Egyptians
 
Exodus 8
 
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let MY people go, that they may serve ME. 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
 
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:  4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
 
Moses and Arron did as God said to do and frogs came upon the Egyptians.  Finally Pharaoh begged Moses to stop these frogs.  Dead frogs stank up the land and the frogs stopped coming after Moses talked with God.
 
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
 
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
 
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

💥   Plague # 3:  God sends lice upon the Egyptians: both man and beast
 
Exodus 8
 
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
 
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

💥 Plague # 4:  God sends swarms of flies upon the Egyptians
 
Exodus 8
 
20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let MY people go, that they may serve ME.  21 Else, if thou wilt not let MY people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
 
22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which MY people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.  23 And I will put a division between MY people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
 
24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
 
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
 
But Pharaoh set conditions which Moses would not agree to.  No compromise with Moses.
 
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
 
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
 
31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and HE removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
 
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Plague # 5:  God kills the cattle of Egypt and horses and other beasts.
 
Exodus 9
 
1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let MY people go, that they may serve ME. 2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
 
(murrain: plague, disease, epidemic affecting cattle and other animals ... it literally means "death".)
 
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
 
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
 
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
 
(Still Pharaoh wavered.)

Plague # 6:  God sent boils upon the Egyptians: upon man and beast
 
Exodus 9
 
8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. 11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
 
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
 
💥💥💥
 
💥 Plague # 7:  God sends hail upon the Egyptians: both man and beast.
 
Exodus 9:
 
22 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
 
(Pharaoh begged Moses to entreat God that the hail would stop.)
 
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.  35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.

💥  Plague # 8:  God brings locust and fills the land of the Egyptians.
 
Exodus 10
 
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these MY signs before him:  2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and MY signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
 
(Moses goes to Pharaoh and says:)
 
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: 5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he (Moses) turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
 
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
 
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go? 9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
 
10 And he (Pharaoh) said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. 11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
 
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
 
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
 
Pharaoh sent for Moses and asked him to entreat "the Lord" for him and rid them of the locust.
 
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
 
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

💥  Plague # 9 : God sends darkness upon the Egyptians.
 
Exodus 10
 
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 
 
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
 
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
 
(Moses would not compromise.)
 
25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. 26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
 
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
 
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.

The first plague: God turns the water into blood

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Exodus 7
 
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
 
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
 
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply MY signs and MY wonders in the land of Egypt.
 
(God is going to do the 10 signs and wonders before all ... and after the 10th, Pharaoh lets the children of Israel go ... but first come the plagues upon Egypt.)
 
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay MY hand upon Egypt, and bring forth MINE armies, and MY people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
 
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth MINE hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
 
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 7
 
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.  15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 16 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let MY people go, that they may serve ME in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. 17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in MINE hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. 18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
 
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
 
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
 
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
💥💥💥
 
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
 
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
 
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.

The first meeting of Moses and Aaron with Pharaoh

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Exodus 5
 
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let MY people go, that they may hold a feast unto ME in the wilderness.
 
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey HIS voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
 
💥💥💥
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest HE fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
 
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
 
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
 
💥💥💥
 
As a penalty to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh deals harshly with the children of Israel.
 
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
 
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
 
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
 
💥💥💥
 
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
 
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
 
13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
 
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded,
Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
 
(We know God will win out, but the children of Israel didn't know this.)
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 5
 
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
 
16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
 
17 But he (Pharaoh) said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.  18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
 
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
 
💥💥💥
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
 
21 And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
 
💥💥💥
 
22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast THOU so evil entreated this people? why is it that THOU hast sent me?
 
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in THY name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast THOU delivered THY people at all.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 6
 
1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
 
2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:  3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by MY name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
 
4 And I have also established MY covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
 
5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered MY covenant.
 
6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:  7 And I will take you to ME for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
 
9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
 
💥💥💥
 
 
I was a new Christian when this happened to me:
 
I owned a small business.  A young woman took me to court.  God said to me, "Don't testify."  I never dreamed people on my own side would be mad at me when I did that word given me by God.
 
Toward the end of the trial, I said to God, "I hope YOU know what we are doing.  We are going to lose this case."
 
I continued to hold fast and did what God told me to do and we won and all charges were ended against me!  But it looked like we would lose.

Moses has to deal with both the children of Israel and Pharaoh

21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
 
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is MY son, even MY firstborn:
 
23 And I say unto thee, Let MY son go, that he may serve ME: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.

29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
 
30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
 
31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that HE had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Moses: Early childhood

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Acts 7  (Stephen speaks of Moses)
 
17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
 
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
 
19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
 
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
 
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
 
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
 
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
 
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
 
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
 
26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
 
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?  28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
 
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
 
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
 
25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
 
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
 
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.
 
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
 
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

Exodus 4: Moses strives with God over that which God tells him to do

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Exodus 4
 
10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
 
11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
 
13 And he (Moses) said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
 
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and HE said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
 
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
 
16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

Updates for our church group

This is a message to our church group from Joan giving updates. 

What has God shown ”you”, for that is what will happen

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
God puts things into our heart ... and speaks to our minds.  And we know things because God showed us.  We can be certain God will arrange our lives for that to happen that HE has shown us.
 
God put in Moses heart that he would be used to deliver HIS people.
 
Acts 7  (Concerning Moses)
 
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
 
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
 
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
 
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
 
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
 
26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
 
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
 
God appointed Moses to lead HIS people out of the bondage.
 
But when God said to Moses later, Moses said, "Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"   (Ex. 3:11)
 
💥💥💥
 
At one point in the journey in the wilderness Moses' own brother Aaron and his sister Miriam said the same thing to Moses.  They said they too were the people of God, challenging Moses right to lead them and to rule over them. But they suffered severe penalties for God chooses whom HE will.
 
Numbers 12
 
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
 
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath HE not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
 
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
 
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
 
5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
 
6 And HE said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
 
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
 
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
 
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and HE departed.
 
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
 
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
 
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
 
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
 
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
 
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

God said to Ezekiel the prophet.
 
Ezekiel 3
 
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
 
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all MY words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
 
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

Have any of the plagues of the great tribulation started on the earth today?

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
14 Plagues of The Great Tribulation:
 
Mt. 24  Jesus says:
 
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.
 
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.
 
💥💥💥
 
14 Plagues  
 
(1st 7 plagues are brought by the angels as they sound their 7 trumpets)
 
#1  Rev. 8:6 ... hail, fire, mingled with blood ... 1/3 part of trees burnt up & all green grass burnt
 
💥
 
#2  Rev. 8:8-9... great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea ...1/3 of sea became blood ...1/3 of creatures in the sea died ... 1/3 of ships destroyed
 
💥
 
#3  Rev. 8:10-11 ... great burning star falls from heaven onto the rivers... name of star "Wormwood" ... 1/3 of the rivers become wormwood... many men die of the waters because waters are made bitter.
 
💥
 
#4  Rev. 8:12 ... 1/3 of sun, moon, stars "smitten" and go dark... day shown not for a third part; night likewise
 
💥
 
#5  Rev. 9:1-11 ... smoke released from bottomless pit darkens sun and air ... locust released with power like scorpions with power to hurt men  for 5 months; those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads ... 
 
Rev. 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.
 
💥
 
#6  Rev. 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
 
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
 
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
 
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
 
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.
 
💥
 
#7  Rev. 10:6  That there should be time no longer. 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as HE hath declared to HIS servants the prophets.
 
💥💥💥
 
Woes of the last 7 angels as they pour out their 7 vials:
 
#1  Rev. 16:1-2  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 and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
 
noisome (sore having a bad odor)
 
💥
 
#2  Rev. 16:3 angel pours his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea ...
 
💥
 
#3  Rev. 16:4 Third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters and they became blood.
 
💥
 
#4  Rev. 16:8  Fourth angel poured 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.
 
(Reminds you of the great heat of 2023 in Southwest USA, but I think this heat of the vial of the angel on the sun will be even worse and will be all over the world for he poured that vial on the sun which reaches every person on this earth.)
 
💥
 
#5   Rev. 16:10  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, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
 
💥
 
#6  Rev. 16:12  Sixth angel pours his vial on river Euphrates and the water dried up ... 3 unclean spirits loosed ... spirits of devils working miracles... gathering world to the battle of Armagedon
 
💥
 
#7 Rev. 16 ... 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.

Few there be that find the way of life, says Jesus

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
Matthew 7:13-14
 
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
 
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
 
💥💥💥
 
Many people in churches end up following seducing spirits and doctrines of devils in the trials of life.
 
I Timothy 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
 
The churches of the apostasy today eliminate many scripture from the Bible that offend people and they teach people a doctrine which says, "God loves you and wants you to be happy on this earth so of course a divorced woman can remarry and a man is free to marry a divorced woman."  By teaching this, they eliminate several scriptures.
 
💥  Matthew 5:32  (Jesus says:) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
 
💥  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.
 
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 7:2-3  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.
 
💥 Mark 10  (Jesus says)
 
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.
 
Paul explains 2 become one flesh at the time of sexual intercourse, even if you have sex with a prostitute.
 
💥  I Corinthians 6
 
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, 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.
 
💥  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;
 
💥  I Corinthians 6
 
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.
 
💥💥💥
 
A few nights ago, I was watching a show about a big law firm in NYC.  They were doing so many things which were sins according to that which the Holy Scriptures teach.
 
I thought, "I'm so glad we have the scriptures from the NT Bible because they set boundaries for us so we know what to do and what not to do."
 
(Also God has given us a new heart and a new Spirit.  Ezekiel 36)
 
Ezekiel 36:27  And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.
 
💥💥💥
 
A man once told his mother that the Bible is so legalistic.
 
This very greatly troubled me!  I turned to God and God explained to me the following:
 
"The people of the world want to be free to sin.  The people of God want to be free from sin."
 
Jesus said:  John 3:3  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom 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.
 
💥💥💥
 
The Bible sets boundaries for us so we will not go in the way of sin, staying free "from" sin.
 
Hebrews 10
 
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 (of the Lord) 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?
 
30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.
 
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says)  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.
 
Jesus can blot our name out of the book of life if we fail to overcome through God and HIS Word.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mt. 16:26

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Devil says to Jesus:
 
Matthew 4
 
8 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
 
9 And saith unto HIM,  All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
 
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.
 
💥💥💥
 
Absolutely nothing is equal to the Word of God.  That Word God gives us is greater than rubies and greater than reputation and praise of men and greater than all that can be desired in this world.  No husband or wife or children are above the Word God gives us!  The Word of God is above all.
 
Luke 9  (Jesus says)
 
23 And HE (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow ME.
 
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for MY sake, the same shall save it.
 
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
 
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of ME and of MY words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when HE shall come in HIS own glory, and in HIS Father's, and of the holy angels.
 
💥💥💥
 
Psalm 1
 
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
 
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
 
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
 
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
 
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
 
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

God speaks to us and we know what to do and that is the ”anchor” for our soul

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
I asked God what HE wanted you to hear today and HE brought to my attention something that happened to me this week and I will record that message for you for today.
 
💥  Seeking what to do:
 
The previous month when I was at dentist for tooth cleaning, my dentist came in to check my teeth and found I needed 2 fillings.  And one tooth might present a problem for it is next to a bridge I have in upper left of mouth.  She warned me that I might lose the bridge.  She said she couldn't tell until she got into the tooth that needed the filling.  (Her words brought fear and I began praying, asking God to help me and to guide her in the work.)
 
Between the time she said this and the next dental appointment, every time a thought came concerning the appointment, there was dread and even a little fear.  I would pray again.
 
The day before the tooth filling appointment, a thought came to my mind:  "Fix only one tooth at the appointment and schedule a second appointment to do the other tooth."  (I knew this was a plan from God.)
 
After that, I had no more dread or fear.  I had heard from God and knew exactly what to do.  That Word from God gave me an "anchor" for my way and kept my soul at peace!
 
As we drove to the appointment, I was so happy!  I knew what to do.
 
When I asked the dentist if we could repair only one tooth that day and make a second appointment for her to work on the other tooth, she said:  "That would work well for me also."  (Unknown to me she was getting ready to go on maternity leave in 3 weeks.)  She said she would like to work on the upper tooth, the one that is beside the bridge.  She told me it was more difficult for her to reach lower teeth in her condition.  I told her that would be fine.  She scheduled November 14 for the other filling.  I was glad to have the space of time between the tooth work!
 
Everything went very well and I did not lose the bridge!  Although she did trouble me a little in "warning" me that later she might have to replace the bridge.  I prayed when she said these words.
 
Philippians 4:6  (Paul instructs us)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
 
(I was still in the dentist chair when I was praying to God about the "possible" problem with the bridge.)
 
If possible, pray immediately!
 
I think the plan God gave me to separate the tooth work into 2 appointments helped both me and that dentist!  
 
God knows what's best for us!  And after HE gives us HIS plan, we have the way to overcome the problem and the victory over fear, dread, anxiety!
 
Seek God's plan through prayer and wait for the plan to come from God!
 
Then do what God has shown you to do!
 
💥💥💥
 
💥  Satan trying to swallow woman in our church group.  
 
I saw the following open vision from God showing me this about this woman:  There was a very big giant prehistoric type snake, about 5 times the size of a big alligator.  This church woman was 1/2 way in the snake's mouth.  She was already 1/2 swallowed, up to her waist.  Only her legs were out of snake's mouth ... Then she completely disappeared.  She was in the belly of the snake.  Swallowed whole like Jonah.  The snake was licking his lips ... Then the snake had turned around and was wagging the tip of his tail like a satisfied dog.  End of open vision.
 
She is surrounded by unbelievers ... 5 ... thus the snake is size of 5 unbelievers. (husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)
 
As a believer, greater is HE that is in her than HE that is in unbelievers.  (I Jn. 4:4)
 
But they carry the doctrines of this world and she can take on their doctrines unless she does proper spiritual warfare, making the Word of God overcome their doctrines in her own heart.
 
2 Cor. 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (the Word);
 
💥💥💥
 
She has already demonstrated to Pam and I that she has taken into her heart 2 doctrines of this world:  Salvation by works and the "goodness" of man, and strength of bodily exercise led by therapists and hope in therapy of man.
 
God had me send her 2 scriptures showing the doctrine of Christ:  
Revelation 5:9;12-14 & I Timothy 4:8
 
Rev. 5:9;12-14  And they sung a new song, saying, THOU art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for THOU wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by THY blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto HIM that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped HIM that liveth for ever and ever.
 
After this scripture, she did say, "Of course."
 
(As she praised the physical therapist and bodily exercise which she hoped would restore her husband after the 2 small strokes, I sent following doctrine of Christ.)
 
I Timothy 4:8 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.
 
You think you can't be pulled away by circumstances of life?  Remember the downfall of Solomon?  God warned Solomon twice.  But Solomon apparently did not think it could happen to him.  Solomon didn't believe God in this, and that point God made to Solomon was his ruin and downfall in his old age.
 
I Kings 11
 
1  But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
 
God greatly penalized Solomon's house by dividing the kingdom from them and giving 11 tribes to another king:  Divided kingdom of Israel and Judah

On approximately June 11, 2023, the husband of this woman had terrible pain with kidney stone attack.  Then he fell 2 times.  This turned out to be caused by small strokes, according to doctor.
 
* They could not get immediate appointment with a doctor concerning the kidney stone.  All they could do was to go to emergency room (ER) where they gave husband pain medicine.  They drove home, which is 15 miles into the country.  And that same night had to return to ER where they gave husband additional medicine for pain. And ER put husband into hospital to be treated for heart and small strokes but not for kidney stone.  He spent 2 weeks in hospital but no doctor dealt with the kidney stones so far as I heard.
 
*  Upon returning home from hospital they still could not get immediate appointment with doctor concerning kidney stone.  The adult daughter talked to someone she knows in medicine and did get an appointment the following week with doctor. 
 
*  Doctor said kidney stone was too large to pass and this would require going to hospital for sonic surgery to break up the kidney stone.  Operating room was not available until July 20.  (This started with pain on approximately July 11.)  All husband could do was to take pain medicine and they tried 3 pain medicines to find the medicine that worked best.
 
*  They have stairs all over their house, 3 levels.  The adult aged son, who lives 180 miles away, came to help and gained approval to work by computer to be able to continue his secular job and help get his step-father to the location needed in the house.  
 
*  Neither the husband nor son nor adult aged daughter are believers at this point.  Barbara is surround by unbelievers and she is the only believer in the situation.  She is allowing Satan, the snake, to swallow her, replacing her belief in certain scripture and believing the doctrine of this world which she wants to believe at this point in time.  For her focus and desire is toward her fleshly family more than toward the Word of God.  (Swallowed by the snake like Jonah was swallowed by the whale.)
 
*  Their plan is to try to sell the big house which requires significant efforts to maintain.  And the adult son has offered to allow parents to move into master bedroom at his condominium, located 180-miles across the state.  Living in the house with an unbeliever until they decide on property to purchase in the city where her son and daughter live to obtain help in times of need by son and daughter.
 
So she will have 5 people who are of the flesh speaking doctrines of the flesh which she will have to deal with to hold onto doctrines of the Bible.

Letter to woman in our church group:
 
7-26-2023
 
Last night I became devastated with fear over you.
 
I know you were the person being swallowed by that giant prehistoric snake in the open vision.
 
This shows you're being surrounded by unbelievers, even living with them close up in the same house, swallowed up with thinking of this world.
 
💥💥💥
 
I'm sure God has an answer for you, but it seems it started with Edward's 2 falls.  (the process began of your being swallowed by the world, "eaten by the big snake.")
 
When I asked you how it came about that you would move into Drew's house, you answered, "He offered", but you didn't say anything about God showing you to do this.
 
I prayed last night for you to be saved for eternal life. But your life at the end will be a really hard life in the situation unless you work out turning to God strongly in everything, and I don't see you doing that as you showed us so far. It's like the world is eating you up. And your heart and soul seem to be  tied up in the world. 
 
Again, I prayed that you would have eternal life, but I know that you won't have a good life as this is developing. I know you could turn it around through God by diligence in prayer to God over everything and by getting HIS way by waiting on HIM to show you what to do.
 
As I told Sandra, "What will happen to you if you go this way?" For she had told me she didn't care about anyone or anything, and she indicated to me that included God.
 
So unless you strongly learn to take everything to God and get HIS plan in the midst of the life as it is surrounded daily by unbelievers, I know you will not have a good life at the end. You're going to have to be much stronger with God.
 
(Unbelievers at this point in time:  husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)
 
But I do have hope of your being saved for eternal life, because that is the way I'm praying.
 
Nevertheless, I would like your life on this present earth to be filled with good, spiritual good as-well-as earthly good.
 
Love,
Joan

P.S. I keep being reminded of that scripture where Jesus said to Peter "Satan has desired to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you."
 
Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
 
To each of us it comes down to this:  Which do we love more?  Those people and things of this world or the Word of God and truth of God?

Moses: Chosen by God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Hebrews 11
 
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
 
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
 
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
 
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
 
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for HE endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.
 
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest HE that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
 
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 3
 
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
 
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
 
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
 
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
 
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
 
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
 
7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
 
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
 
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
 
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth MY people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
 
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
 
But God had put it into Moses heart 40 years earlier that he would deliver the children of Israel out to Egypt.  We see this in the following scripture.
 
Acts 7
 
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
 
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
 
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
 
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
 
God will cause HIS will to happen on this earth in the life of Moses and also in the life of us whom HE has chosen.

At the time appointed by God, the children of Israel are delivered from Egypt by God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
After 400 years of bondage in Egypt, the time comes for deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.
 
Exodus 1
 
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
 
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
 
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
 
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they (the Egyptians) were grieved because of the children of Israel.
 
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
 
Pharaoh told the Hebrew mid-wives to slay the male children of the Hebrews but to save the female children alive.
 
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
 
Moses was born during this period of time.
 
💥💥💥
 
Exodus 2
 
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
 
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
 
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
 
7 Then said his (Moses') sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
 
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
 
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman (who was the child's real mother) took the child, and nursed it.
 
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

How can we be so concerned today?  Don't we know God is in charge of that which happens to us?

The children of Israel remain in Egypt 400 years. God told Abraham this would happen to them

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Genesis 15  (God speaking to Abraham)
 
13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
 
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
 
💥💥💥
 
God sets everything to work to accomplish HIS will on this earth!  
 
Relax.  God is in charge!
 
I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
 
God caused a famine throughout the whole earth in the days of Joseph.
 
This famine caused the children of Israel to come down into Egypt to buy corn.
 
Joseph was 2nd only to Pharaoh in Egypt and all who bought corn had to buy though the hands of Joseph.
 
Eventually the children of Israel made their home in Egypt and stayed there for 400 years as God told Abraham they would, as slaves to the Egyptians.
 
At the beginning of their time in Egypt, Joseph was there and provided for them through God.  
 
But there was a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph and everything changed for the children of Israel.
 
Toward the end of their stay in Egypt, the bondage of the Egyptians became very severe and when the Children of Israel continued to multiply greatly in Egypt, Pharaoh ordered every male Hebrew child to be slain at birth.  (Deliverance from God was then very near.)
 
Often when it gets very hard, it shows us we are nearer the end and God makes a way to escape.
 
Remember this as we approach the end of this world today, and the great tribulation, and the deliverance of us from this present earth by Jesus when HE takes us to the new heaven and the new earth created by God for us wherein dwells only righteousness.
 
The apostle John saw a vision of the new heaven and new earth and shows it to us in the following scripture.
 
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.
 
God chose Moses to lead the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.

The children of Israel come into Egypt to buy corn

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Genesis 41:56-57
 
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
 
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
 
God showed Joseph what to do and put Joseph in a position to do what God showed him.  By God came provision for many people and kept families alive on the earth, including the 12 tribes of Israel.
 
💥💥💥
 
Genesis 42  (The lst trip into Egypt to buy corn)
 
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
 
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
 
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
 
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
 
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
 
💥💥💥
 
Joseph recognized his brothers but the brothers did not recognize Joseph.
 
I Corinthians 10
 
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
 
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
 
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
 
💥💥💥
 
In each trial of this life, God makes a way of escape for HIS elect.
 
I've been in situations where I had no idea what to do.  I just kept calling on God for help.  And eventually the Word came from God showing me the real situation.
 
In one problem, I was dealing with a church woman and it got terribly difficult for me and then God reminded me that before I was born again there were 3 devils living in me and I would be as bad as she was now except for the fact that God delivered me and cast those devils out of me.
 
Then I realized the woman I was dealing with had devils living inside of her and they were causing the problem.
 
💥💥💥
 
Jesus says:  Mk. 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In MY name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
 
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 
(So I cast the devils out of that church woman, in the name of Jesus.)
 
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, HE was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
 
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
 
💥💥💥
 
God knows the truth and the real source of the problem we are having in this life.  As we seek God with all our heart, God reveals the truth to us.
 
💥💥💥
 
The second time the children came into Egypt, Joseph revealed himself to them.  Benjamin, Joseph's brother was with them this time.  Joseph knew they were his brothers, the children of his father Israel (Jacob), but the brothers did not yet know it was Joseph they were dealing with.
 
They took corn and started back to the land of their father Israel.
 
Joseph sent his men to catch them and search their sacks and they found Joseph's silver cup in the bag belonging to Benjamin. This was done to get the brothers back to Joseph and he, Joseph is going to reveal the truth to his brothers that he is Joseph the brother they sold into slavery. 
 
Genesis 45
 
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.  (They are the ones who had sold Joseph into slavery.)
 
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
 
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
 
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
 
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
 
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and HE hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
They meant it for evil but God turned it for good.
 
So it is for us today.
 
Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.

For those who are born again having the Holy Spirit in them: Greater is HE that is in you than HE that is in the World. I John 4:4

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
I John 4
 
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
 
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

"WE WIN!"
 
That is what one of my pastors always said.
 
That is true.  We should always win and we will win so long as we hear what God says and follow God.
 
Unfortunately my pastor announced to the congregation that he was going to be greater than Kenneth Copeland and he set out to do so.
 
The devil will help you to be great.
 
Matthew 4 (the devil speaking to Jesus)
 
8 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
 
9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
 
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.
 
My pastor who said he was going to be greater than Kenneth Copeland was Robert Tilton, Word of Faith Church, Farmer's Branch, Texas, in the late 1970's and early 1980's.  I attended this church from approximately 1977-1982.
 
I truly loved Robert Tilton.  Don't you love your pastors?
 
All these years later, I recall words spoken by this man and I love those words.
 
But sadly his downfall was pursuit of greatness.
 
He had a TV show in the early 1980's.  A woman from our church group was invited by Bob to appear on his show.  Just before the camera came on Bob said to her, "Just one thing.  Don't say anything about being a prophet.  It's not popular."
 
Ephesians 4
 
8  Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.  11 And HE (Jesus from heaven) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
 
For a pastor to tell a prophet not to tell anyone she is a prophet, because it is not popular, is a terrible thing to do.
 
She (Ava) called me after the show and she was crying when she told me what Bob said to her.
 
He killed a prophet with those words.
 
Matthew 23:38  (For killing prophets, Jesus said:)  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 
 
I delivered those words to Bob Tilton.  God gave me a dream which brought me out of that church group.
 
In this dream, destruction was everywhere.  A meeting was going on and people were attentively listening to a man who was speaking to a group of people.  I went into the room and began to listen.  A second man rushed in and said, "Stop ... wait ... can't you see ... it's too late ... it's already begun."  (That man disappeared and the first man resumed speaking.)
 
No one in the group seemed interested in seeing what had already begun, but I was interested so I looked out the windows which were along the side of the room.
 
What I saw was horrible!
 
There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense warning system on top of the pole.  A white gas was coming out of the speaker.  It would kill the people and that gas was coming directly toward us who were sitting in that room listening to the speaker. The instrument which was set there to warn us was the instrument being used to kill us!
 
The man sitting next to me had a big smile on his face and he was very attentive and looking directly at the man who was speaking.
 
And then I saw it.  That man was already dead.  He was a corpse though he looked alive.
 
I looked around the room and the other people in the room were also dead.
 
And as I sat there among them, I began to feel drowsy and realized the gas was killing me.
 
End of dream.
 
In 1982, on a Wednesday night, I was at Word of Faith Church and Bob Tilton was speaking to the congregation.  I looked at the man who was seated to my left and was shocked.  He was the man in the poison gas dream.  I looked at the others in the congregation that night.  They seemed to be the people in the dream.
 
I said to God, "I think YOU are showing me to leave this church so I'm going to get in my car and leave.  But if YOU want me to come back, I will."
 
I got up while Tilton was still speaking and got in my car and drove away, and never returned.
 
That was in 1982.
 
Wikipedia:  In 1991, Robert Tilton's TV ministry brought in almost 80-million-dollars a year.  It was described as "the fastest growing television ministry in America."
 
When ABC's "Primetime Life" investigated Tilton's fund raising practices, Tilton's TV show, "Success in Life" was taken off the air.  ABC aired a TV special concerning the fund raising.  After that, members of his church sued Tilton, claiming extortion.  Tilton and his wife, Marte, divorced.  Tilton married a second wife who was a preacher and lawyer.  She filed suit against Tilton and they divorced.  Tilton moved to Florida and tried to start another TV ministry.  He married a third wife.  His church building in Farmer's Branch Texas was torn down.  Today there is no evidence of any church building ever being on that property.
 
The state and federal government became involved in subsequent investigations.
 
The offerings declined from $8 million to $2 million and 85% of the church left Tilton.
 
"As each revelation about Tilton became increasingly more damaging, viewership and donations declined dramatically."  (Wikipedia report:  as of 7-20-23)

I began on radio in January, 1980.  I was still attending Tilton's church at that time.  Tilton told me I should get in touch with Michael Ellison Advertising Agency.  Tilton said to me, "They can do you a lot of good."
 
(Many big-time radio/TV preachers have advertising agencies, like Hollywood stars do.)
 
This Podcast is a story of this.

Casting devils out of believers

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
People who are born again and have the Spirit of God can have devils also living in their bodies.
 
After I was born again (in 1975), 3 devils were cast out of me by the Holy Spirit in the night while I was sleeping.  God allowed me to see this in a dream.
 
A smart alecky devil was skipping through my chest cavity and ran directly into the Holy Spirit.  The devil tried to dart back and hide.  The Holy Spirit said, "I see you!  You must come out of her you double minded spirit.  You must go ... you must go ... you must go ... you must go."
 
While I was sleeping I could feel something in my throat area and I began choaking.  But it moved out of me through my mouth and I knew that devil had left me.
 
3 devils were cast out.  A lying spirit and a double minded spirit and a devil which was not identified to me by name.
 
So I have absolutely no doubt that a born again Christian who has the Holy Spirit can also have devils living inside him.

Those "who believe" have power to cast out devils in the name of Jesus, says Jesus in the following scripture.
 
Mark 16
 
14 Afterward HE (Jesus) appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen HIM after HE was risen.
 
15 And HE said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
 
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
 
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In MY name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
 
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, HE was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
 
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
 
I've learned so much this past week that I want to share these things with you that God has taught me about casting devils out of those persons who are born again and have the Holy Spirit in them.  So I have recorded these things on this podcast.  Joan Boney

Open visions (Spiritual gifts)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
I Corinthians 12
 
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
 
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
 
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
 
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
 
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
 
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
 
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
 
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE (God) will.
