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.
💥💥💥💥💥
Proverbs 21
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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The fourth plague of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
Revelation 8
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
💥💥💥💥💥
Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
(pervert: to turn from that which is right and good)
4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth HIS ways shall die.
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will HE pay him again.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Jesus says:
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
💥💥💥
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The third plague of the great tribulation sent by God to judge this world and the apostate churches:
Revelation 8
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Proverbs 18
1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Jesus says
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
💥💥💥
Jesus explains:
Mark 4
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

1 (When) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
* A few days ago, I found something to be difficult. When I laid the issue out before God and told HIM how I felt and ask HIM what I was supposed to do about "this", HE gave me an idea. When I did what HE showed me it worked! When I pour out the issue before God, HE helps me and then there is no want.
* It is my assignment from God to edify the church on blogs and on Podcasts and in books. I had just finished a long project in the Book of Proverbs. I didn't have anything else to say. When I took the matter to God, HE showed me what to do next. And I found there was plenty of green pastures for the sheep to strengthen themselves. And God showed me exactly what to write and which exhortations to present.
* If I find empty time in my day and don't seem to have purpose ahead of me, when I talk to God about the "lack" HE brings ideas to fill my time and to satisfy me, leading me in the way to go.
When I turn to God with the issue and make the Lord my shepherd, there is no want.
The problems come when I'm not exhorting the church, not engaged in doing my assignment. Then I begin to get bored and wander from channel to channel on TV finding no thing that is of real interest. (Trying to put myself in some pasture and finding little to nothing of interest.) When I begin talking to God, making HIM my shepherd, HE leads me to green pastures which are satisfying to me.
If I turn on the TV, I often see turbulent waters. When I turn to God, we come upon waters that are still, calm, peaceful.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul:
When I turn to God after having been with other people or having been disturbed by reports of happenings going on in this world, I pray what David prayed ...
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
I know God can do that for me. I wouldn't know what to do to restore my soul. But each time I turn to God for HIM to cleanse my heart and restore my soul, HE knows exactly what I need and HE always helps me ... cleaning the spots from the sayings of the world off my garment, and setting me at peace again when I turn to HIM.
HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and thy staff they comfort me.
God uses HIS word to keep me on HIS road so I will not fall off into the ditch. The key for me is always HIS words. When I focus on HIS Word which HE gives me, I am stilled, calm, at peace, and restored to truth.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Proverbs 17
1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Hebrews 12:14-15
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
💥💥💥
Bitterness against another person or thing can come into our hearts as we watch television (especially TV news), as we become "puffed up" over the story and what other people have done.
We must be aware of when this is happening and turn to God immediately in prayer asking God to help us and to cleanse our heart ... for that story that we object to, can be like an evil seed going down into our hearts and later we will hear ourselves speaking the bitterness to other people, possibly defiling them.
Example: A few days ago, I was speaking to a woman and she began speaking about President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. This woman began to tell negative things, especially about Hunter Biden.
I said to her, "Concerning President Biden I just always fear for him when I see him try to walk to the microphone. He reminds me of the old people at the Bridge Center who go to the food counter, fill their plates, and head back to their table. They are so old and wobbly, I was always afraid they would fall."
As she began telling about Hunter Biden, I shuttered, knowing it was evil and I didn't want to hear it.
I have no illusions in me concerning politicians. I know they have to compromise and say things they really don't believe in order to please people to get that vote.
(And often the children of humans are not godly people so I'm not surprised when they do ungodly things.)
The apostle Paul said: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Gal. 1:10)
I know how much God has worked with me to have me say things concerning HIM to edify the church when I speak with other people, for it is not my job as a minister of God and servant of Christ to make humans feel good about themselves but rather I speak truth of God that they may repent or be confirmed when they do either evil or good. But you cannot speak things to please men but must speak truth by the Holy Spirit.
I believe every politician says things to get the vote of a human. This causes personal integrity to be compromised and to melt away.
(I am not Republican nor Democratic. I do not vote. I consider myself to be a "stranger and pilgrim" on this earth as the saints did in Heb. 11:9-10 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
As a Christian, I try to keep myself from evils of this world and I turn to God for HIM to keep me and show me what I am to do.
I do sometimes pray for rulers as Paul told us to do: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; )
I Tim. 2:1-3
💥💥💥
So I cautioned the woman who spoke these things to me and God confirmed to her that she must leave politics alone for it was corrupting her own heart. She had hatred in her heart over those things she had heard about these people. It was coming from TV news, I felt. For I was sure she did not personally know these people which she grew to hate and despise.
Each of us have allowed hatred into our hearts from time to time, and we must guard against doing that, to continue as Christians.
We do not support the evil. We do not claim the evil to be "good". We just learn to avoid such things that cause hatred and bitterness in us, and continue with God in pureness, with an uncorrupted heart and mind.
I have to avoid many things of this present life and I abstain from many news stories on TV which I feel dangerous to me.
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
💥💥💥
When I fear something evil has gone into my heart, I often pray this:
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
For I know God can cleanse my heart!
💥💥💥
For several weeks, at one point in my life, God had me to focus on doing this scripture:
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
When I am talking to another person, often I start to speak something and then evaluate what I want to say by this:
If I speak this, will it edify, build that person up in things and ways of God? Will these words cause "grace" in the hearts of others?
Usually I am stopped from speaking when I do this, and I pray again asking God to cleanse my heart of evil things for God knows the evil when it hides in my heart and God know how to remove that evil that would dwell in me and hurt other people.
The devil will destroy us and others any way we allow him to do so.

I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
💥💥💥💥💥
Make no mistake. If we participate in that which is evil, the evil will come into our own hearts.
Matthew 12 (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.

The judgment seat of Christ:
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;
💥💥💥
At the end of this world, God pours out HIS wrath upon the sins committed by the worldly people and the sins committed by the apostate churches who cast aside specific scriptures to be able to do as they pleased on this earth.
The great tribulation of God comes before the end of this world.
Revelation 8 (Plague # 1)
1 And when HE (Jesus) had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
This is followed by 13 more plagues and woes of the great tribulation that is sent by God to judge this earth and the apostate churches.
💥💥💥💥💥
Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The Lord hath made all things for Himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7 When a man's ways please the Lord, HE maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are HIS work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth HIS way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
(froward: stubbornly unruly)
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof 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.

Several years ago, I had a dream about angels: In the dream I was taken to the place where angels live. I came to a stone bridge and there was a little chubby man standing at the foot of the bridge. (Angels do not have wings. They look like regular men.) He seemed to be the age of late 40's. He said to me, "Hello, Joan." I replied, "You know my name?" He said, "Oh ... every one here knows your name. We've been waiting for you a long time."
When Pam and I were putting together this writing we were in my bedroom. I happened to glance at one of my walls and I saw a vision of that stone bridge and angels dancing over those things Pam and I were writing about the experience she'd had and the doctor's report where the inside of her bladder looked "great". The angels in heaven were rejoicing over what had happened to her!
💥💥💥
Another open vision ...
In approximately 2004, a young man (44-years old) travelled to Lubbock, Texas, where I was living at that time. He came to change out sound equipment at my house.
As David was leaving and walking out the back door, he turned and came back to me and said: "I don't know why I'm telling you this but they think I have the physical disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). We are going to MD Anderson Hospital in Houston next week for tests."
(My bridge partner had just died from this same disease recently.)
I was horrified at that which David told me about himself.
During the following weeks, I spoke by phone several times and mailed him Biblical information. He lived in East Texas, 600 miles, from where I lived in West Texas but we talked many times by phone over the coming year.
David did have ALS and doctor estimated he would live 2 more years. He had a wife and 2 children, one child a girl, 8 years old, and the other a boy in junior high school.
During that time I was in close communication with David by phone and US mail.
After David became totally paralyzed, God gave me an open vision of David.
💥 I saw David totally healed standing on a golf course. He was very happy and began waiving to me saying, "Come on. Join me. It's great here."
I knew God was showing me David would die.
But God showed me David's spiritual condition and it was similar to this image.
In the vision, David was very happy and things were wonderful for him.
Shortly after God gave me this open vision and information about David, a man named Clay, who worked for David in the Sound Equipment Business came to Lubbock and visited with me.
Clay was a church person and their church had been praying for David to be healed.
Clay was excited when I told him about the vision given to me by God and Clay said, "Don't you think that means David will live and be healed?"
I replied, "No ... David is dying. But his spiritual condition is very good!"
(David died within a few days. I sent a letter to David's wife and children showing them what God had shown me about David's spiritual condition and recommended they read my letter at the funeral to encourage the others who were in the church there.)
💥💥💥
Another open vision ...
💥 On December 6, 2018, I fell at my house in Texas and broke my left wrist and left hip. As I was in hospital awaiting surgery, I had a strange vision of one of the women in our church group. She was standing at the foot of my hospital bed staring down at me. She said nothing at all. After a few seconds, she turned with her back to me and walked through the wall into the next room, disappearing. I thought I was having an hallucination from all the drugs they had been giving me.
After surgery they put me into a rehabilitation hospital where I remained for the next 2 1/2 months.
During this time this woman from our church group came to my room and sat down beside my bed and said: "I need to tell you this. I don't care about anyone or anything any more. I no longer read the Bible or blog."
I said: "But if you go this way, what is going to happen with you?"
She stood up and began walking toward the door to my private bath and she said, "I don't want to talk to 'YOU' about this." (and she disappeared into the bathroom and shut the door.)
A nurse entered my room just as this woman went into the bathroom. I cried out: "Don't leave until nurse finishes with me." But while nurse was working on me I saw the bathroom door open and this woman "snuck" out of my room.
I knew devils had been telling her lies. I knew I could prove that to her. But she left my room before I could tell her.
Jesus says; He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
The devil had convinced this woman that she didn't care about anyone or anything any more.
But she had a little dog that she really loved.
By that I could have shown her she had taken lies from devils into her heart and what they said to her just was not true.
(Weeks later she apologized and said she was sorry she just had no "charity" at all toward me.")
I knew devils had spoken to her in this and brought great fear to her. She was afraid she would be stuck with caring for me after I was released from hospital and she was overwhelmed with this thought and couldn't do it.
But God had me move from Texas to Colorado to the home of Pam Padgett and she was in charge of helping me and even has a spiritual gift of "helps".
I also realized the vision I had of this woman disappearing from my room in the hospital was not a drug hallucination but was really an open vision from God showing me that which this woman was going to do.
(This woman is back again in our church group.)
💥💥💥
When I attended the singles class at Word of Faith Church which I once went to, the teacher of that group always said, at some point in the class, "Does anyone have a word from the Lord. If so you are free to share that word."
God often gave me open visions concerning those in the Bible class and I always shared what God gave me.
Once the teacher who had his own Bible class on a Tuesday night invited me to speak to the class.
As he was leading the singing before the class, I began receiving from God open visions. One vision after another came until there were so many I had to grab a piece of paper and jot them down so I would not forget them. There were 23 or 24 open visions that night!
I don't recall speaking anything to the class except all those visions one at a time!

(Comments by Joan Boney)
The first time God gave me an open vision (word of knowledge): I was at a local prayer group. About 10-15 women were praying over something. We were standing in a circle and had our heads bowed and eyes closed as we prayed. God said to me, "Look up." (The women continued praying.)
I looked up and saw something as if it were outlined on the wall in front of me. It was part of a human body.
I said to God, "I know that is part of a human body but I don't know which part."
I heard, "Stomach."
"Oh, yes, It's a Stomach." I remembered the old Pepto-Bismol commercials on TV.
After the women finished praying, I said:
"Does someone have a stomach problem?"
One woman began jumping up and down and shouted: "I do! I do!"
I suppose the women prayed for her.
I was so excited thinking of what God had shown me that I don't remember what happened to her.
💥💥💥
Open vision: (Word of knowledge)
Spiritual gifts for the church:
1 Corinthians 12
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
(God shows the spiritual gifts to different individuals in various ways.)
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE will. (As God wills.)
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
💥💥💥
I Corinthians 12:27-28
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, (to care for the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,
diversities of tongues.
Romans 12
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry (serving), let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
1 Peter 4:10-11
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
💥💥💥
After the experience at the prayer group where God showed me a stomach outlined on the wall, God often gave me open visions (word of knowledge) when I attended the Bible class at the church I was attending and sometimes as I sat alone at my home. He would usually show me these visions on a solid wall.
💥 Pam Padgett was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2022. (We were in shock!)
One day as I was sitting in my TV room, I saw something in the corner of the wall. It was a very quick view and seemed to be a "ball-type" mass of something wadded up in the corner of the ceiling of the room. Suddenly it shrank with a "swooshing" sound, and it was gone.
Pam began chemotherapy treatments in 2022. They were planning to remove her bladder after the chemo.
Pam began praying asking God if there was any other way this treatment could be done without removing the bladder.
The chemo pharmacist gave Pam some writings explaining what to expect from chemotherapy treatments. There were over 20 pages of information. After reading these, Pam decided to read an additional page the pharmacist had included which was about bladder cancer treatment in general. On this page there was the following statement which stood out to Pam for it fitted what she had been asking God.
"An approach using chemotherapy with radiation therapy may provide the same benefits as bladder removal."
Pam began asking God if this was the way to go!
A member of our little church group had been trained as a nurse and when she read this statement she said, "Now I have hope!"
Pam asked God how she could deal with her doctors and the medical team who had planned to do surgery to remove bladder, how could she switch to radiation/chemo.
God gave Pam a dream showing her in the medical office speaking to a doctor while a "man" was sitting with Pam. She felt this was a man from God put there with her to assist her in speaking to the medical doctors.
5 of the doctors and their assistants felt the radiation was not "ideal" for Pam's case and the best thing to do was chemo followed by surgical remover of the bladder! But they said they would switch the plan from removal of bladder to radiation/chemo treatments if that is what Pam wanted.
(Pam's report)
Pam said: Then I met with the chemo doctor. He warned that the chemo given with radiation therapy for bladder cancer is harder on the body than the initial chemo I had been given and that I might need a blood transfusion and possibly need to be hospitalized.
The chemo doctor then asked if I had peace about making this change in treatments. I told him I had prayed and asked God if there was any way I could be spared bladder removal. After that, I saw the information provided by the pharmacist about chemo with radiation, and I felt this was an answer to my prayer. He asked if I am a Christian and I told him I am. He said he is as well. He then said since I had peace about making this change, he would setup this kind of chemo and coordinate it with the radiation oncologist, and that he would prescribe things to help me get through this chemo as easily as possible.
After meeting with the various medical people, we stopped the first kind of chemo and the doctors started setting everything up for chemo with radiation.
The chemotherapy with radiation therapy began in mid-December, 2022 and was completed in January, 2023.
Interestingly, the chemo with radiation turned out to be easier for me, not harder as the chemo doctor expected. I had no serious problems, mostly just fatigue. But even the fatigue wasn't as much as with the first chemo plan. And radiation was no problem at all.
💥💥💥
So after the 3rd chemo treatment a switch was made to a plan for chemo/radiation!
💥💥💥
After the chemo with radiation treatments were completed, two procedures were scheduled to be done in April, 2023, to see if there were any signs of the cancer.
Everything seemed to be going fine. But then not long after these procedures were scheduled, fearful thoughts suddenly came to me, such as "What if the tests show more cancer?"
I was very shaken and turned to God for help, and was given the concept of resting in having done what I had been led to do by God, resting in HIM, in HIS word to me in this matter.
For God will work everything according to HIS purpose for me. I just need to go in the way I believe HE is leading me.
Hebrews 4:3 ... For we which have believed do enter into rest,
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.
💥💥💥
I was also given a dream in which I was at the urologist's office to have a scope procedure. At another point in the dream there were 2 bags with what looked like yard waste in them. The bags were being examined by scientists or doctors who were looking for disease. No disease was found!
When I woke from this dream I prayed about what this dream might mean to me and especially what the 2 bags represented. The next morning, I was reminded of the 2 upcoming procedures and felt God was showing me that no disease would be found during the procedures in April.
The first procedure was done Friday, April 14, 2023, by the urologist looking inside my bladder using a scope.
The urologist started out by saying that his understanding is that I had gone to see the specialist/surgeon in Denver and it sounded like I wasn't "keen" on having my bladder removed. I laughed and told him that was correct.
He went on to explain that with the scope he would be checking to see if the chemo had done what was needed, but that if he found a problem it could probably be taken care of with a more minor surgery than was needed last September. (I felt he was trying to prepare me for him finding a problem.)
But as he looked at my bladder, he said "This looks great!" He said this at least 3 times as he checked various things in the bladder. He did find a small red area, but said nothing needs to be done about that at this time. He'll just monitor it.
Overall, he seemed surprised as he said "This looks great!"
The second procedure, a CT scan, is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 19.
I keep being reminded of the dream I had in which the 2 bags of waste were being examined by doctors or scientists. They were looking for disease but found none.
The cancer was gone.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ...
(Comments by Joan Boney) This is the best example of seeking help from God that I have ever heard or experienced in my years as a Christian.
💥💥💥
Pam Padgett, member of the body of Christ
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in September, 2022, after surgery to have a tumor removed.
This cancer was considered "high grade" so the urologist referred me to a specialist/surgeon in Denver.
(I live about 50 miles south of Denver in Colorado Springs.)
In October, 2022, this specialist told me I would need 4 chemo treatments, 2 weeks apart, then wait a month, then have surgery to remove my bladder at the end of December, 2022, or first part of January, 2023.
I asked this surgeon what would happen to me if I did not do this treatment. She said: "You will be dead within approximately 2 years."
💥💥💥
Chemotherapy wasn't a concern to me, but having my bladder removed troubled me a lot! Needing to deal for the rest of my life with some way for my body to function without the natural bladder was a big concern.
I didn't mention to anyone that I didn't want to have this bladder-removal surgery, but I talked with God about it, laying all my concerns out to HIM.
And I asked God if there might be some way I could be spared this surgery.
I didn't know what God's will was in this, so I just waited to be shown if I should do anything different than what the specialist/surgeon in Denver recommended.
💥💥💥
About 10 days later I was reviewing some information the chemo pharmacist had given me about the various drugs that would be administered and their possible side effects and what I might do to minimize side effects. I wanted to make sure I had everything on hand that might be needed before the chemo began the following day.
When I got through all the drug information, there was one piece of paper left. It was a sheet the pharmacist had included from the American Society of Clinical Oncology about bladder cancer. I was casually reading this when the following jumped out at me ...
"An approach using chemotherapy with radiation therapy may provide the same benefits as bladder removal."
I felt this might be an answer to my prayer about being spared bladder-removal surgery and asked God to please show me if this was not the case. I was not shown anything by God to stop me from changing to chemo with radiation therapy.
But I didn't know how to go about changing my treatment plan, having no idea who to talk with about radiation therapy. So I asked God how to do this and kept having the specialist/surgeon in Denver brought to my mind. I sent her a note.
The next morning her nurse called to setup a time for me to meet with the physician assistant who works with this doctor.
When we met, the physician assistant told me that I'm not a good candidate for chemo with radiation and reasons this was the case. But interestingly, she then said she could make a referral for me to talk with a radiation oncologist in Colorado Springs where I live. She said she had heard very good things about this radiation oncologist who had been trained at the Mayo clinic. I asked the physician assistant to please make that referral.
A few days before meeting with the radiation oncologist I had a dream. In this dream a man was sitting next to me as I met with the radiation oncologist. It was as if the man was there to support and help me.
When I woke from the dream I was reminded of various scriptures I had been given in which God says HE will be with me and and help me and never leave me, such as:
Hebrews 13:5-6 .... for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Isaiah 41:10, 13 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
💥💥💥
When I saw the radiation oncologist she said that I'm not an "ideal" candidate for radiation with chemo and told me why. But she went on to say that if, after considering these things, I decided to go this way, she would set it up.
Then I met with the chemo doctor. He warned that the chemo given with radiation therapy for bladder cancer is harder on the body than the initial chemo I had been given and that I might need a blood transfusion and possibly need to be hospitalized.
(By the time appointments with the various medical people had been scheduled and held to change the treatment plan, I had had 3 of the chemo treatments initially recommended in preparation for bladder removal.)
The chemo doctor then asked if I had peace about making this change in treatments. I told him I had prayed and asked God if there was any way I could be spared bladder removal. After that, I saw the information provided by the pharmacist about chemo with radiation, and I felt this was an answer to my prayer. He asked if I am a Christian and I told him I am. He said he is as well. He then said since I had peace about making this change, he would setup this kind of chemo and coordinate it with the radiation oncologist, and that he would prescribe things to help me get through this chemo as easily as possible.

The urologist started out by saying that his understanding is that I had gone to see the specialist/surgeon in Denver and it sounded like I wasn't "keen" on having my bladder removed. I laughed and told him that was correct

The second procedure, a CT scan, showed no sign of cancer.
I keep being reminded of the dream I had in which the 2 bags of waste were being examined by doctors or scientists. They were looking for disease but found none.
💥💥💥
Another "word" about the outcome of this cancer was an open vision given by God to Joan Boney in September, 2022. In this vision she saw something like a lumpy mass on the wall in the corner. But it shrank with a "swooshing" sound, and suddenly, it was gone. She felt this had to do with my cancer.

All along the way, God has been helping me, especially when I have turned to HIM with fearful thoughts.
I am especially grateful to God for showing me a way to be spared bladder removal surgery!
It is amazing to me that God worked it out for the various medical people to go along with what I believe HE showed me to do in changing from "chemo with bladder removal" to "chemo with radiation therapy".
Although five medical people felt this was not the best way for me to go, they all agreed to this change in treatment.
And as I recall the urologist this past Friday saying "This looks great!" as he looked at my bladder, I am thankful to God for all HE has done in this.

Isaiah 13
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.

Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is HIS delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but HE loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but HE heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

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.

They say: Adultery and fornication is not against the law. But they forget it is against the law of God.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
What is important? Man's judgment against you? Or God's judgment against you?

At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh, even if the sex is with a prostitute.
How then do you separate the one flesh?
The apostle Paul explains:
I Corinthians 6
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

This is such a wonderful verse.
By this verse we are warned to remember to check with God, asking HIM for HIS wisdom concerning our plans.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
💥💥💥
Also ask God to stop us if the plan is wrong.
There will be much deception in the end times.
And we must always remember to pray because God knows the future!

Joel 1
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Here is what God says in the Holy Bible:
Romans 1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

But one little library in a desolate area of Texas says we will close rather than put those books on our shelves.
The righteous judgment is almost vanished from the earth but here we see people holding out against antichrist and the beast of Revelation.
Judgment is refreshing to those who love God. But it is rarely seen today for humans are evil and will not judge righteously, but eventually God will judge and it will be in HIS righteousness.

Isaiah 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
💥💥💥
Isaiah 14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and HIS hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Isaiah 17:7-8 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
💥💥💥
Isaiah 23:9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
(contempt: the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.)

Isaiah 24 (The day of the Lord)
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited (judged).
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

God will destroy this heaven and earth with fire:
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
💥💥💥
With HIS coming Jesus will awaken those who sleep in Christ and Jesus will send HIS angels to remove HIS elect from the earth before God destroys this heaven and earth with fire.
Matthew 24 (Jesus says)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE (Jesus) shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Get ready. Conform your life to the scriptures. Agree with God.
For the day of the judgment seat of Christ comes:
2 Corinthians 5 (The apostle Paul says:)
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;
