Building your house on the word from God

Riches profit not in the day of wrath. (Proverbs 11:4)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
The time will come toward the end of this world when rich men will cast their gold and silver into the streets because they will know those things will not save them in the wrath of God.
 
Ezekiel.7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
 
How can God be appeased during The Great Tribulation?

God knows every evil act of man and man will receive for those things he has done on this earth.
 
Ahab and Jezebel, his wife, are examples of evil.
 
I Kings 21
 
(Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard and Jezebel gets that vineyard for king Ahab.)
 
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
 
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
 
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
 
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
 
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
 
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
 
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
 
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
 
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
 
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
 
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
 
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
 
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
 
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
 
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
 
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
 
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
 
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
 
(God sees all that we do and "rewards" us for both good and evil.)
 
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
 
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
 
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
 
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked ME to anger, and made Israel to sin.
 
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
 
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
 
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
 
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

2 Corinthians 5
 
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.
 
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
 
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord,we persuade men.

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.

Proverbs 27 / Wisdom (Vial # 5 of Great Tribulation)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Vial #5 of The Great Tribulation:
Revelation 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.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
(James 4:13-16  Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.  But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.)
 
💥💥💥
 
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
 
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
 
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
 
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
 
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
 
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
 
8  As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
 
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
 
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
 
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
 
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
 
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
 
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
 
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
 
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
 
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
 
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
 
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
 
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
 
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
 
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
 
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
 
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
 
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
 
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
 
27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. 
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.
 
Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Searching out the land. Good and evil reports.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
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.
 
💥💥💥
 
Numbers 13
 
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
 
(God was giving them that land.  See that good which the Lord gives.)
 
💥💥💥
3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
 
4-15  And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.  Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
 
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. (Joshua)
 
💥💥💥
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward , and go up into the mountain:
 
18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
 
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
 
20  And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. 
 
And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. 
 
Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
 
💥💥💥
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
 
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
 
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
 
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
 
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.  
 
💥💥💥
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
 
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
 
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
 
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
 
💥💥💥
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.
 
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
 
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
 
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
 
💥💥💥
 
Numbers 14
 
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
 
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
 
3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
 
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
 
💥💥💥
5  Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
 
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
 
7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
 
8 If the LORD delight in us, then HE will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
 
9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
 
💥💥💥
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. 
 
And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
 
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke ME? and how long will it be ere they believe ME, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
 
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
 
13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for THOU broughtest up this people in THY might from among them;)
 
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that THOU LORD art among this people, that THOU LORD art seen face to face, and that THY cloud standeth over them, and that THOU goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
 
15 Now if THOU shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of THEE will speak, saying,
 
16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which HE sware unto them, therefore HE hath slain them in the wilderness.
 
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as THOU hast spoken, saying,
 
18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
 
19 Pardon, I beseech THEE, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of THY mercy, and as THOU hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
 
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
 
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
 
💥💥💥
 
PENALTIES:  (forgiveness for sin but yet penalties for sins)
 
22 Because all those men which have seen MY glory, and MY miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted ME now these ten times, and have not hearkened to MY voice;
 
23 💥  Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked ME see it:
 
24 But MY servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed ME fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
 
💥💥💥
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
 
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
 
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against ME? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against ME.
 
28 💥 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in MINE ears, so will I do to you:
 
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against ME,
 
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
 
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
 
32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
 
33  💥And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
 
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know MY breach of promise.
 
35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against ME: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
 
💥💥💥
36  And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
 
37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
 
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
 
💥💥💥
39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
 
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
 
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
 
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
 
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
 
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
 
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

Righteousness delivereth from death. (Proverbs 10:2)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
When Phinehas executed judgment in the sight of God the plague against the people of God was stayed and the sin they committed in the sight of God was atoned by the judgment.
 
Phinehas was the grandson of Aaron the prophet of God.
 
Numbers 25
 
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
 
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
 
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
 
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
 
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
 
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
 
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
 
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
 
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. (24,000 died in the plague)
 
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned MY wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for MY sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in MY jealousy.
 
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him MY covenant of peace:
 
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
 
💥💥💥
 
The were teaching the children of Israel to sin and to worship other gods.
 
Proverbs 19:27  Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
 
Proverbs 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
 
💥💥💥
 
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.
 
If the church group today has changed from specific scriptures and set up another doctrine for the church, we cannot stay in that church because it is one of the apostate churches of the end times.
 
II Thessalonians 2
 
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
 
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
 
In 1982, I was reading these two verses and God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."
 
This is the apostasy in the churches of the end time.

Proverbs 26 / Wisdom (Vial # 4 of Great Tribulation)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Vial # 4 of The Great Tribulation:
Revelation 16
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory.
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 26
 
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
 
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
 
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
 
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
 
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
 
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
 
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
 
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
 
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
 
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
 
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
 
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
 
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
 
(So he does not go to work.)
 
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
 
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
 
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
 
(Unless God gives you a reason, it is better to say nothing.)
 
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to HIM, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
 
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
 
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
 
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
 
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
 
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
 
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
 
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
 
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
 
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
 
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
 
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Jesus says:
 
Luke 21:14-15  Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
 
💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 10:19  In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
 
💥💥💥
 
Matthew 10:18-20  Jesus says:  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

In 1980, an angel of the Lord spoke to me in the night the following 3 words:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
 
I said to God, after I found KWJS to be a radio station, "Are YOU telling me to go in radio?  I wouldn't know how to do that."
 
Immediately, the Holy Spirit brought this to my mind:  "Call the radio station manager."
 
I called the station manager of KWJS that same morning and I said to him:  "God might be showing me to go on radio.  How would you do that?"
 
He said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and sent it to me.  If you fit our broadcasting we will send you a contract."
 
I recorded an audition tape that same morning and put it into the mail to the station manager.  Within 5 days I was broadcasting exhortations for the church on station KWJS on Monday's through Friday's.
 
For the first 2 years, the subjects God gave me to speak were:  Taking Thoughts Captive; Dealing with Destructive Thoughts; Following God by HIS Spirit.
 
Then in 1982, God said to me, over and over:  "The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.  The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.  The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God."
 
God showed me sins that were being committed by several big-time radio and television ministers and God had me speak of these sins, naming by name the minister when I couldn't get the message to him any other way.
 
In Seattle, the radio station manager was waiting for me outside the door of my meeting room at Seattle Convention Center.
 
George had always been very friendly but this time I noticed his countenance was different.  And he said, "Joan ... you have many wonderful messages. Just speak those good messages.  If you continue speaking these judgment messages I don't know what is going to happen to you.  We might have to put you off the air."
 
Instantly God brought the words to me to speak to George:  "George ... If I don't speak the message that I believe to be from God, then I don't have a message, and I may as well be off the air."

A woman in our little church group was expecting a visit from her 40 year old son and she had made out a list of things she wanted to say to him.  I happened to call her about 30 minutes before the son was due at her house.
 
When she told me about her list of subjects, I said:  "Don't do that!  Just ask God to bring to your mind what you should say."
 
She tore up her list.
 
She told me hardly anything that she wanted to say to him was brought to her mind.
 
And they had a very good visit.
 
(Before anyone is coming to my house, I often pray, asking God to have me speak what HE wants me to say.  I don't plan out anything ahead but I depend on God to bring to the conversation what HE wants.
 
When I write for blog, Podcasts, or books, I do the same thing.  I depend on God to have me speak or write what HE wants and I yield to the Holy Spirit and speak that subject.)

He that walketh in HIS uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth HIM. (Proverb 14:2)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Psalm 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
 
💥💥💥
 
Do you have a fear of the Lord in the handling the Bible?
 
I certainly do!
 
As a new Christian in 1975, I wrote the following words on the first page of each book of the Bible in both Old and New Testaments:  "Ask God for wisdom."
 
I knew I needed God's wisdom in understanding scriptures.
 
And God promises that HE will give us wisdom when we ask HIM.
 
James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
 
💥💥💥
 
The fear of the Lord, is knowing when God tells us something we must heed that instruction for our own well being.
 
For if we turn from the word given by God, whether that word be Bible or instruction brought directly to our mind by the Holy Spirit, we can bring destruction upon ourselves or harm ourselves.
 
Devils bring thoughts to our minds which are exactly opposite from that which God wants us to do.  (Devils try to steal, kill, and destroy us by getting us to do what they know will harm us.)
 
Often devils would try to get us to do things that seem religious.  And we will find ourselves telling what "we" did rather than what God told us to do, bringing praise to ourselves rather than praise to God.
 
💥💥💥
 
I Peter 5:8-9
 
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.
 
💥💥💥
 
Philippians 4:6-7
 
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
 
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 25 / Wisdom (Vial # 3 of Great Tribulation)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Vial # 3 of the Great Tribulation
Revelation 16
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, THOU art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because THOU hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and THOU hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are THY judgments.
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 25  1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
 
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
 
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
 
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
 
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
 
💥💥💥
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
 
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
 
💥💥💥
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
 
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
 
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
 
💥💥💥
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
 
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
 
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
 
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
 
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
 
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
 
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
 
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
 
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
 
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
 
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
 
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
 
(Romans 12:19-21  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.)
 
💥💥💥
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
💥💥💥
 
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
 
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
 
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
 
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
 
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. 
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

When the sky turns dark in the middle of the day, will you see then?

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Man loves to explain away the works of God.
 
Today man even tries to explain away weather events and to make it seem that they are because of something man has done on this earth such as building gas engines.
 
What will happen when the earth shakes before man and when the sky turns dark in the day?  Will they see God then?
 
💥💥💥
 
In the Bible it tells us that even in the midst of the torment upon man during the great tribulation they will not repent but will blaspheme God.
 
Revelation 9
 
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
 
20  And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
 
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 11
 
19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of HIS testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
 
Revelation 16
 
9  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory.
 
Revelation 16
 
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.
 
Revelation 16
 
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.
 
Revelation  17
 
13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
 
And they will not repent to give glory to God.  They are children of the devil.
 
14  These shall make war with the Lamb, 
 
and the Lamb shall overcome them: for HE is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with HIM are called, and chosen, and faithful.
 
17  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil HIS will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 18
 
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
 
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
 
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
 
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, MY people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
 
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
 
💥💥💥
 
Concerning Babylon:
 
Revelation 18
 
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
 
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
 
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 18
 
18  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
 
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
 
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 19
 
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
 
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
 
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against HIM that sat on the horse, and against HIS army.
 
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
 
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of HIM that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of HIS mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
 
(The sword, the Word of God, that comes from the mouth of Jesus slays HIS enemies.)
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 20
 
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
 
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
 
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
 
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Come, Lord Jesus.  Judge the world and the apostate churches who do not love the Word of God.

We can’t stay among the evil

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
To stay among the evil is to destroy ourselves.  If the evil is at a church, where they removed specific scriptures to approve those who are doing evil, the evil will consume that church and that church will be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns to gather the righteous.
 
💥💥💥
 
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
 
In 1982, I was reading verses 3-4 and God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scripture." 
 
💥💥💥 
 
This is the apostasy of the end time and antichrist in the church.  Antichrist is a spirit like the devil is a spirit.
 
The apostle John spoke in 1 John 4:1-3
 
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
 
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ, The Word of God, is come in the flesh is of God:
 
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ, The Word of God, is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
 
💥💥💥
 
Antichrist is a spirit that lives in some church people who fall away from scriptures.  They join churches but they do not obey or follow specific verses of scripture.  They say "Jesus is Lord" but they deny some of the verses in the New Testament Bible.
 
In the following scripture the apostle John spoke of "many antichrists" who had come to their church group in his day.
 
I John 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
 
💥💥💥
 
Most churches today think antichrist is one man who comes through governments of men. But John show us that antichrist comes though men and women but are not born again by God and are imposter's sitting among the real Christians.
 
When the church holds to the Bible, antichrist will depart from the church. 
 
I John 2:19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
 
But if the church departs from scripture and upholds false doctrine, removing specific verses of scripture, then antichrist remains and that becomes a church of the end time apostasy.  
 
💥💥💥
 
Destruction of apostate churches by Jesus when HE comes to gather the elect:
 
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
 
9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
 
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
 
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
 
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Proverbs 24 / Wisdom (Vial # 2 of Great Tribulation)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Vial # 2 of the Great Tribulation:
 
Revelation 16:3
 
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 24
 
1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
 
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
 
💥💥💥
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
 
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
 
💥💥💥
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
 
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
 
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
💥💥💥
 
8  He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
 
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
 
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
 
11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
 
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not HE that pondereth the heart consider it? and HE that keepeth thy soul, doth not HE know it? and shall not HE render to every man according to his works?
 
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
 
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
 
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
 
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
 
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
 
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease HIM, and HE turn away HIS wrath from him.
 
💥💥💥
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:
 
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
 
💥💥💥
21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
 
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
 
💥💥💥
23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
 
24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
 
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
 
💥💥💥
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
 
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
 
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
 
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
 
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
 
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
 
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
 
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
 
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
 
 💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

God changes our heart and spirit so we can be able to follow HIM

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The New Testament church are those who have been born again by God, changed by God, given a new heart and a new spirit.
 
It is impossible to follow God by your own will power or by your own thinking.
 
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.
 
You must have the actual spirit of God in you to direct your heart to truth and to that which is godly.
 
I know I can do nothing of God by my own mind.  I call on God and HE shows me what to do and what to say.
 
It is like Jesus who said HE could of HIS own self do nothing.
 
John 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
 
Therefore Jesus says:  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  (John 3:3)
 
(If you are not born again, turn to God and ask HIM to please cause you to be born again.)
 
💥💥💥
 
God told the prophet Ezekiel that HE would give man HIS heart and HIS spirit to enable man to follow HIM.
 
Exekiel 36  God says:
 
23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
 
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
 
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
 
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
 
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.
 
This is the New Testament Church.
 
God speaks to us and we follow HIM.
 
God changes us from the man who is born of the flesh of man.
 
After God speaks, we are born of HIS Spirit.
 
But we are changed!  Everything is different.  All things are then new.
 
2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
 
God gives us HIS Spirit adding us to the church.
 
The children of the devil are also planted in the congregation of the righteous by the devil but though they sit among the church, they are not the church.
 
Romans 8
 
11 But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.
 
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
 
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
 
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Jesus speaks that which is right when tempted

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The devil tempted Jesus three times and Jesus addressed each temptation of the devil at the essence of the temptation, always turning the focus on God.
 
Matthew 4
 
4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
 
7 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
 
10 Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.

Proverbs 23 / Wisdom (Vial # 1 of The Great Tribulation)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The seven vials of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
 
Vial # 1:
 
Revelation 16
 
1 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 (bad smelling) and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 23
 
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
 
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
 
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
 
💥💥💥
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
 
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
 
💥💥💥
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
 
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
 
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
 
💥💥💥
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
 
10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
 
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
 
12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
 
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
 
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
 
💥💥💥
15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
 
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
 
17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
 
18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
 
💥💥💥
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
 
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
 
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
 
💥💥💥
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
 
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
 
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
 
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
 
💥💥💥
26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
 
27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
 
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
 
💥💥💥
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
 
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
 
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
 
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
 
💥💥💥
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
 
34  Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
 
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
 
💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.
 
Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Matthew 12:33-37

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Jesus says:
 
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
 
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
 
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
 
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

God speaks from heaven to His church today

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Hebrews 1
 
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
 
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds;
 
💥💥💥
 
God speaks by several ways directly to HIS church today.
 
💥  By Dreams:
 
Matthew 2
 
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
 
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
 
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
 
In dreams, God speaks to us, the church today:
 
Acts 2:17
 
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
 
💥💥💥
 
💥  God speaks by New Testament prophets:
 
Acts 11
 
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
 
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
 
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
 
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
 
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
 
💥💥💥
 
💥  God speaks to the church today by visions:
 
Acts 11
 
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
 
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
 
6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
 
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
 
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
 
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
 
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
 
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
 
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
 
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
 
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
 
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
 
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
 
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
 
(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
God has often shown me visions (word of knowledge) concerning what is going to happen to someone in the church.  I was shown a vision of a young man who had ALS.  He was totally paralyzed at the time I was shown this vision of him.  "He was on a golf course.  He was completely whole.  He signaled to us by hand to come join him.  He was very happy."
 
One of the members of the church said to me, "Don't you think this means David will be healed?"
 
I replied, "No.  David is dying.  But his spiritual condition is very good."
 
A few days later, David died.
 
💥💥💥
 
💥  Sometimes today God speaks to us by angels.
 
Acts 27
 
10 And (Paul) said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
 
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
 
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
 
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
 
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
 
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
 
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
 
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
 
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
 
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
 
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
 
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
 
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
 
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
 
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
 
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
 
(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
I believe it was an angel of God who spoke to me on the night of January 10, 1980, saying: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" ... by which I was led to go on radio presenting exhortations to the church.
 
Also I've had multiple dreams showing me angels.  In one dream a group of about 7 were sitting around a long table discussing precious jewels which were lying before them on that table.  One angel spoke and said:  "Then it is settled.  We will go help her."
 
By the Bible we know angels of God bring messages from God to individuals to instruct and protect them.  Angels have great power.  Two angels destroyed Sodom as directed by God.  (Gen. 19)  An angel came to the tomb of Jesus and rolled back the great stone which sealed the tomb and brought an earthquake.  (Mt. 28:2)
 
💥💥💥
 
If you can read of an instrument used by God in the New Testament Bible to help the New Testament church, you should have the basis to believe God could use that same instrument today with the NT church.

Proverbs 22 / Wisdom (Plague #7)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The seventh plague of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
 
Revelation 11
 
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
 
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
 
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
 
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
 
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
 
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
Proverbs 22
 
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
 
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
 
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
 
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
 
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
 
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
 
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
 
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
 
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
 
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
 
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
 
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
 
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
 
(So he does nothing.)
 
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
 
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
 
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
 
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto MY knowledge.
 
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
 
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
 
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
 
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
 
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
 
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
 
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
 
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
 
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
 
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
 
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
 
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

Jesus speaks to Paul on the road to Damascus

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Acts 9
 
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
 
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
 
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
 
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
 
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
 
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
 
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
 
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
 
💥💥💥
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
 
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
 
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
 
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
 
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
 
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
 
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
 
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
 
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
 
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
 
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
 
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
 
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
 
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

Paul speaking to king Agrippa.
 
Acts 26
 
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
 
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
 
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
 
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
 
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
 
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
 
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
 
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
 
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
 
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
 
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
 
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
 
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
 
14  And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
 
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
 
16  But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
 
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
 
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
 
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

God speaks to the child Samuel, the prophet

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
I Samuel 3
 
1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli (the priest). And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
 
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
 
3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
 
4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
 
5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
 
6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
 
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
 
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
 
9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
 
10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
 
11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
 
12 In that day I will perform against Eli (the priest) all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
 
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
 
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
 
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
 
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
 
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
 
18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
 
19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
 
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
 
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

Proverbs 21 / Wisdom (Plague # 6)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The sixth plague of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
Revelation 9
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
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.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
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.

1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: HE turneth it whithersoever HE will.
 
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
 
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
 
4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
 
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
 
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
 
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
 
8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
 
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
 
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
 
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
 
12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
 
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
 
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
 
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
 
💥💥💥
 
(The apostate churches who cast aside scripture and go another way.)
 
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
 
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
 
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
 
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
 
20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
 
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
 
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
 
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
 
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
 
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
 
26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
 
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
 
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
 
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
💥💥💥
 
30  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
 
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
 
💥💥💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.
 
Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

After I was born again, God took me into heaven twice and merged me into body of Jesus, making me one with the Word of God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
On August 5, 1975, I was reading a book concerning sin when God spoke these words to me:  "Joan ... you know those mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."
 
I was so shocked.  I thought they were mistakes.
 
Immediately I was born again and was given God's Holy Spirit.
 
2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
 
💥💥💥
 
Prophecy of what it will be like in the times of the New Covenant church.
 
Ezekiel 36  God says:
 
23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
 
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
 
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
 
26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
 
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 few days after I was born again, in the night while I was sleeping, I was transported into heaven.  I was with God and Christ and the Holy Spirit. 
 
(I saw no physical images.  It was a spiritual experience.) 
 
At that time I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
 
(I thought, at that time, this happened to everyone who became a Christian.)
 
Then a few nights later, the exact same thing happened a second time.
 
Again I was transported into heaven and made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
 
Later I saw the following scripture that was similar to that which happened to me:
 
2 Corinthians 12:2-3  Paul says:
 
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
 
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
 
💥💥💥
 
After being taken into heaven, I was on fire for things of God.
 
I owned a small business at that time in American Indian Arts.  After that, I no longer cared anything at all for my business.  All I wanted to do is read the Bible and be with people of God at church.
 
I would often stay home all day, not going to my business at all, and I would read the Bible with God teaching me scriptures by HIS Spirit.
 
(I had 3 very competent women working for me and they didn't need me at the business except for the times we did appraisals and when I had to go on buying trips to select jewelry to sell at the business.)
 
💥💥💥
 
For 5 years, from 1975 to 1980, God taught me and prepared me and eventually, during that time, God showed me I was to be a full-time minister.
 
In 1979, a man from our church group, who said he was a prophet, came to my business with a message for me:  "Joan ... you're dragging your feet.  You know you are supposed to be a minister.  You need to close your business to go into the ministry full time."
 
(I guess I believed him for I closed my business on July 31, 1979.)
 
There was no place for me to go after I closed my shop.  I just stayed at home and waited for God to show me what I was to do.  I didn't apply for work at any church.  I just lived off the money that I had made from the business and I waited!
 
On January 10, 1980, I was asleep in the night.  I believe an angel spoke to me to deliver this message from God:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
 
(I found KWJS to be a Christian Radio Station.)
 
I said to God, "Are YOU telling me to go on radio?  I wouldn't know how to do that."
 
Immediately I heard:  "Call the radio station manager."
 
I called that same morning.  I asked to speak to the radio station manager at KWJS.  When he came on the phone, I said:  "God might be showing me to go on radio.  How would you do that?"
 
He said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting, we will offer you a contract."
 
I recorded a tape that same day and put it into the mail to the radio station manager.
 
Within five days they offered me a contract to broadcast exhortation messages to the church on KWJS.

(Comments by Pam Padgett)
 
In approximately 1983 a friend started giving me writings that Joan Boney had sent to those on the Jesus Ministries mailing list.
 
I enjoyed reading these, but wasn't sure about a woman minister.
 
Before this, I had stayed completely away from women who said they were ministers.
 
Then one night I was given a dream which changed my thinking on this. In this dream I was working at a restaurant and was told that my supervisor was Joan Boney.
 
I believed this dream was from God, and showed HIS view of the matter. 
 
Because of this, I accepted Joan as a minister, and began to support Jesus Ministries and to share what God was doing in my life. 
 
💥💥💥
 
(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
In 2012, God gave me a dream showing me to start a blog.  I called Pam Padgett who was a retired computer programmer and asked Pam to set up a blog.  Within 3 days of that dream, Pam had a blog up and running for the ministry and we were publishing written exhortations all over the world on Internet.
 
In 2015, Pam did the technical work when we began publishing e-books and paperbacks on Amazon.
 
In 2020, God gave me a dream showing me to begin Podcasts.  Pam did all technical work on Podcasts.
 
I also found that Pam has a spiritual gift of helps:
 
I Corinthians 12:27-28  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

In 1980, when I first went on radio KWJS,  a woman named Lilly McBride who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, was in the faith movement churches.  She listened to KWJS.  An opening came on radio at 12 noon. The other teachers around that opening were faith movement teachers.  Lilly began praying for someone of faith to be put on radio at 12 noon.
 
Lilly turned on her radio and sat down to listen to the noontime broadcast.  A woman began speaking.
 
Lilly screamed out:  "Oh, no, Lord.  NOT A WOMAN!"
 
Lilly jumped out of her chair and rushed toward her radio to turn the broadcast off.  (The radio was sitting across the room from Lilly.)
 
Before she could turn the program off she became interested in what I was saying and she became an instant daily listener at 12 noon to the broadcast on KWJS. 
 
Lilly lived across the street from Vinita Copeland, Kenneth Copeland's mother.
 
We 3 became close friends!
 
Lilly and Vinita attended my meetings in both Fort Worth and in Dallas.
 
💥💥💥
 
For 5 years, 1975-1980, God taught me Bible.  HE took me to all scriptures in Old and New Testaments concerning prophets, showing me their calling and the type of work they did.  God gave me gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially word of knowledge.  (I Cor. 12:8)
 
At the Sunday school class at church, God would give me words of knowledge.  The teacher would say:  "Does anyone have a word from the Lord."  inviting us to speak that word to the class.
 
Also God often gave me words of knowledge for the neighborhood prayer group.
 
Church people everywhere recognized the call of God on my life.
 
Proverbs 18:16  A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
 
💥💥💥
 
One day the pastor, Robert Tilton, at the church I was attending said from the pulpit:  "Joan Boney is not called to be a teacher.  She is a prophetess."
 
I had never told anyone my experiences in being taken into heaven and being merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the word of God.
 
I had never told anyone I was called as a prophet.
 
I had never told anyone at church that God had said this word to me:  "I have called you and set you into the body of Christ as an apostle."
 
"An apostle?"  I responded.  "What's an apostle?"
 
💥💥💥
 
I asked our Bible teacher at church about apostles but I didn't tell him or anyone else what God had told me.
 
"Who are the apostles at our church?"  I asked.
 
He replied, "I don't know."
 
"What do apostles do at church," I asked.
 
"I don't know." He responded. 
 
💥💥💥 
 
I didn't have any human example of a NT apostle, so God taught me.
 
Apostles are ordained to deal with scriptures and they make judgments concerning church doctrines from the various scriptures. 
 
For example:  A question arose at Paul's time:  Do the believing Gentiles have to be circumcised?
 
The apostles and elders met at Jerusalem to discuss the matter and settle the church doctrine on the issue.
 
Acts 15  (This is what God showed me.)
 
1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
 
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
 
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
 
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
 
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
 
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
 
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
 
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
 
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
 
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
 
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
 
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
 
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
 
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
 
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
 
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
 
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
 
18 Known unto God are all HIS works from the beginning of the world.
 
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
 
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
 
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
 
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas (prophet) surnamed Barsabas, and Silas (prophet), chief men among the brethren:
 
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
 
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law (of Moses): to whom we gave no such commandment:
 
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
 
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas (prophets), who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
 
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
 
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
 
💥💥💥
 
Many churches today have discarded various scriptures because those scriptures would not be popular in the church gatherings today.
 
God has shown me these church groups are the end time apostasy churches.
 
I write about the scriptures they discarded to try to re-establish these verses of Bible in the minds of individuals in those church groups.
 
This is what God has shown me about the apostles in today's church.
 
💥💥💥
 
The main message at this time for the church is to return to all the scriptures in the New Testament Bible and get yourself ready for the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of this present heaven and earth and the judgment seat of Christ.

Man lives by every Word that comes from the mouth of God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
God spoke to Abraham and Abraham obeyed.
 
Genesis 12
 
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
 
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
 
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
 
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
 
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

John 5:30   (Jesus said)
 
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 10  (Jesus says)
 
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
 
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.
 
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and (none: no man nor thing) is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

The New Testament Church:  All who are chosen by Jesus are given the Holy Spirit of Jesus
 
John 14:26
 
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
 
John 16:13
 
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
 
To our minds, the Holy Spirit of God brings information and instructions from God.
 
Matthew 4:4  Jesus says:
 
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Proverbs 20 / Wisdom (Plague # 5)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
The fifth plague of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
 
Revelation 9
 
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
 
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
 
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
 
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
 
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
 
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.
 
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
 
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
 
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
 
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
 
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
 
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
 
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
 
 
Proverbs 20
 
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
 
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
 
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
 
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
 
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
 
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
 
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
 
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
 
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
 
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
 
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
 
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
 
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
 
14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
 
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
 
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
 
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
 
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
 
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
 
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
 
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
 
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and HE shall save thee.
 
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.
 
24 Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
 
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
 
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
 
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
 
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
 
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
 
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
 
💥💥💥
 
It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.
 
No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.
 
Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Evil men think they can stop God’s plan but they cannot

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
God accomplishes all that HE purposes.
 
If God has a plan for our lives, HE will fulfill that plan.  Fret not.
 
Matthew 2
 
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
 
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship HIM.
 
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
 
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
 
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
 
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule MY people Israel.
 
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
 
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
 
(But God is all knowing and God knows Herod does not plan to worship the child, Jesus, but Herod's plan is to destroy Jesus. Knowing this ahead of time, God directs the wise men not to return to Herod.)
 
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
 
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
 
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy HIM.
 
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
 
15 And was there until the death of Herod:

Dreams are often used by God to fulfill HIS plan.
 
I was born again in 1975.  Shortly after this, I was asleep in the night when I was transported into heaven.  I was with God, with Christ, and with the Holy Spirit.  (I saw no images.  It was an experience in spirit.)  At that time I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
 
A few nights later, the exact same thing happened a second time.
 
From 1975 to 1980, I owned a small business in American Indian Arts in Dallas, Texas.  During those 5 years God taught me Bible.  I would stay at my apartment and read Bible and God began showing me meanings of section of scriptures throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
 
The unusual happening of being taken twice into heaven set me on fire for things of God.
 
During this time a very strong prophecy was delivered to me as follows:  "God is going to mightily use you.  You are going to have to stay very close to HIM."
 
How can this be?  A woman?  I asked God, "What about that which Paul said in I Corinthians 14 about women?"  God said:  "Look at what these women were doing."
 
I turned to I Corinthians 14 and looked.  Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
 
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
 
It looked to me like these women were asking questions during the gathering of the church, interrupting the flow of the Spirit of God with their questions.
 
God reminded me that Philip the evangelist had four daughters who did prophesy.  They would have to speak to the church to prophesy.  (Acts 21:8-9)
 
In 1979, a man from our church group who said he was a prophet, came to my business.  He said, "Joan ... you're dragging your feet.  You know you are supposed to be a minister."
 
So I sent post cards to my customers telling them I would be closing my business on July 31, 1979, to go into the ministry.
 
I did not try to get a regular type job at a church.  I just stayed home at my apartment and continued to read Bible with God leading me.
 
The night of January 10, 1980, while I was asleep in the night, I was awakened by a very loud trumpet like voice speaking 3 words to me:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
 
By this God showed me what I was to do, exhort the church on radio.  Within a year, I was on radio from NYC (Hartford) to Seattle.
 
God makes a way where there is no way.
 
Then in 2012, God gave me a dream showing me to start a blog.  And in 2015, I began writing books on Amazon.  After that, in February 2020, I was shown in a dream to begin broadcasting on Podcast.
 
We don't copy other ministers.  (Often there aren't even any ministers in the office to which we are called to copy.)  God must teach us what we are to do and say and where we do that in the ministry.  But God will show us often using dreams, or even angels delivering messages.
 
While I was on radio, I traveled to the cities where I was on radio and had two or three day meetings for the radio audiences.
 
Then in approximately 1982, God said to me:  "The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God."  God showed me specific ministers who were committing sins and when I couldn't get messages to these ministers, God had me speak about their sins naming these ministers by name on my own radio broadcasts.
 
In 1982, in the night, God showed me I was in danger and God said to me, "Don't go until you see Exodus 15."  I cancelled all planned trips to cities where I was on radio and stayed at my apartment in Dallas and continued recording radio broadcasts which I sent to each of my radio stations.
 
God brought this scripture to my attention.
 
John 16:2-3  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.  3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor ME.
 
Today all exhortations are presented on Internet, blog and Podcast and by books printed on Amazon.
 
God protected me from those who would harm me and I am completely free to present all messages that I believe to be from God.
 
God has a way for those whom HE has called.  They may try to stop you but when it is of God they will not be able to stop you.  God knows what they are planning and warns HIS ministers.  And God shows us what to do just as HE told the wise men in Matthew 2 and Joseph.

Matthew 7:13-14

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
Jesus says:
 
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.
 
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
 
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
 
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
 
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
 
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
 
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
