But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).
💥💥💥
When we have a need, and we pray for help, God brings the solution to that need to us by HIS Word.
When we do that Word, by faith, our need is met by God.

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
💥💥💥
When we speak to gain the praise of other humans, we often speak wrongly in the sight of God.
If we speak by our own flesh, we often do wrong.
💥💥💥
2 John
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

The Day of the Lord: The second coming of Jesus
The primary signs of the nearby coming of Jesus will be the signs in the sky and the shaking of the heaven and the earth by God:
💥💥💥
Several years ago, a woman in our church group reported the following dream:
She said: My husband and I were going out to buy a new TV. I was at the car waiting for him for I was ready to go. All of a sudden, the sky turned completely dark. It was terrifying! I started to run back into the house. But then I knew it would do no good to do that, so I just fell on my knees.
When the sun goes dark, the return of Jesus is very nearby.
💥💥💥
Jesus says:
Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
💥💥💥
Joan Boney ... In the mid-1980's, God gave me this dream:
"The earth slipped on it's axis. The governments of men were meeting with the scientists and religious leaders to see what could be done about this. (Nothing can be done, for the Bible tells us this "shaking of the earth by God" will happen before Jesus returns.) In this dream, a TV newscaster was trying to give a report to the people but he was so frightened that he just stopped speaking and walked off camera.
Isaiah, the prophet of God, reported the following:
Isaiah 13:13 (God says)
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.
💥💥💥
Several prophets of the Old Testament were shown that which would happen at the end of this present world.
Amos the prophet:
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but HE revealeth HIS secret unto HIS servants the prophets.
💥💥💥
Isaiah 13
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.
💥💥💥
Amos 8
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
💥💥💥
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.
Joel 2:1-2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in MY holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:10-11 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 And the LORD shall utter HIS voice before HIS army: for HIS camp is very great: for HE is strong that executeth HIS word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel 2
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:
Joel 3
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter HIS voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of HIS people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
💥💥💥
Habakkuk 3
5 Before HIM went the pestilence,
(Like Coronavirus perhaps?)
6 ... the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow:
10 The mountains saw THEE, and they trembled:
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation:
12 THOU didst march through the land in indignation, THOU didst thresh the heathen in anger.
13 THOU wentest forth for the salvation of THY people, even for salvation with THINE anointed;
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and HE will make my feet like hinds' feet, and HE will make me to walk upon mine high places.
💥💥💥
Amos 5
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

💥 Lay hands suddenly on no man:
I believe that mean don't be so quick to approve the other person. Let him first be proven to your church group.
💥 Neither be partaker of other men's sins:
2 Timothy 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Other people often try to get us to do that which they are doing. They may not know what they are doing is opposite to that which God wants. What they are doing may "seem" right to the majority of the people around them. But it may not be godly.
2 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(I find the answers for me are in the Bible.)
💥 Keep thyself pure.
When I come in contact with people of this world, often they are friendly and smile and I am quickly taken in, thinking them to be "good guys".
God reminds me that Paul told us what people are really like in the end times.
💥 2 Timothy 3
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

When I drift off into temporary madness (insanity) against someone, I pray: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a "right" spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)
God usually answers this prayer instantly!
HE restoreth my soul. (Psalm 23:3)
💥💥💥
If I tried to do this for myself, it might take weeks, months, years ... or never.
(I don't trust myself!)
Sometimes I even pray for God to create a clean heart and renew a "right" spirit in the other person as-well-as in me.
And HE does.
💥💥💥
There are times "our train" gets slightly off track! We end up getting "mad" over something.
God is our hope for immediate cleansing. God knows exactly what has gone wrong and God can go right to the heart of the problem.
Lots of times devils have wormed their way into our thinking and they cause trouble and would destroy us if possible. But we know to pray and God straightens everything out for us!
Nothing is impossible with God!
John 10:10 (Jesus says)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (The Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Thanking God for those things and people HE has placed in our lives is one of the greatest weapons of spiritual warfare.
Remembering daily to be thankful to God continually.
Keeping yourself in the love of God ... living in joy.
Fighting the good fight of faith.
Living continually in peace, without spot, blameless. (2 Peter 3:14)
Helping others to have the best they can have through encouragement in good as we have been given good.
Edifying others in the grace of God and word of God.
Keeping good in our heart so good comes from our mouth.
Living in joy and peace.

Comments by Joan Boney:
After I was born again on August 5, 1975, I had a strong desire to read the Bible and to structure my life by that which God said in the New Testament Bible. I would read the Bible to see what I should do in this life. And I often found scripture which showed me what to do.
The rule book for the New Testament Church is the New Testament Bible.
By the scriptures in the New Testament Bible we see how we should treat other people.
Life is no longer just about ourselves, but also about our family, friends, neighbors and even about strangers.
Do we really care about other people? About those people who can't repay us?
Are those poor people important in our minds? Are we interested in their well being on this earth?
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Do we pray for those who seek to take vengeance on others thinking vengeance is good and have no idea how evil their actions really are?
Or do we scorn and hate them?
Don't we want to build our house on the Word of God?
1 Timothy 2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 WHO gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
💥💥💥
In the days of Jonah, God spared Ninevah because God said the people of Nineval didn't know their right hand from their left.
Today people in high places are very proud. Often they think themselves to be very wise and have no idea what they "preach" is evil.
God is saying to us, Pray for your rulers and those that be in charge, that you will be able to live in peace.
Jonah 4 (God said to Jonah)
10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

Matthew 24 ... the disciples came to Jesus asking HIM: And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of THY coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

If you take into your heart and inner being such things as anger and wrath against other people, be diligent to turn to God in prayer, asking God to cleanse you and create in you a right spirit, for much evil can come from anger and wrath if you store this in your heart, and you can hurt others when you share with them.
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider HIM that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of HIM:
6 For whom the Lord loveth HE chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom HE receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but HE for our profit, that we might be partakers of HIS holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
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;
💥💥💥
Matthew 23 (Jesus says)
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

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

1 John 2:18 (The apostle John says:) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
("The last days" began at the time of the beginning of the early church in the days of John.)
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
John explains there were many antichrist in their day who came into their church group. When they could not bring in their perverse doctrines, these antichrist people left and set up their own denominations and brought to themselves people who would follow their perverse doctrines.

The apostle Paul speaking to the elders of the church in Ephesus:
Acts 20
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 And when they were come to him (to Paul), he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
... 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
... 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

The apostle John shows us antichrist is not "one man" but is a spirit in men...
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
💥💥💥
The apostle Paul speaks of the "falling away" that comes to churches in the last days when antichrist comes into "the temple", the church.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Comments by Joan Boney:
In 1982, God said to me, "This falling away are not people leaving the churches. This falling away are the churches falling away from scriptures and setting up their own doctrines opposite from some scripture in the Holy Bible."
These "antichrist churches" are all over the world now, teaching things opposite from specific scripture.

On January 20, CBS Television News showed that 40 mass murders have taken place in cities in the USA since January 1, 2023.
Why? People keep asking.
💥💥💥
The apostle Paul answered that for us in the Bible.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
(These are those last days spoken of by the apostle Paul.)
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection (homosexual/lesbian), trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
(Attending church but disregarding the scriptures and living the way of this world.)
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; (We learned spiritual truths from God.)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
💥💥💥
The violence will increase until the end of this world.
Revelation 12:12 ... Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
💥💥💥
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.
(God said to me: "You'll never make men of this earth righteous. It is in the new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. Men of this present world will grow worse and worse. It will be as in the days of Noah at the end." violence: Genesis 6)
Peter tells us how we are to be diligent to live:
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.
💥💥💥
We must not be discouraged by that which we see happening in this world. We know by the Bible and accept the fact that before God judges this world by the coming of Jesus, the apostasy will come into churches and even now has come into the churches. The churches will be judged for the falling away from scripture when Jesus returns.
The people of the world will get worse and worse as Paul told us in 2 Timothy 3, so both the apostasy and the character of worldly individuals will get worse before our eyes. It is ordained to end this way and we are fully told this will happen by reading the Bible.
God is in control and will judge both the apostate churches and the world and God will take the righteous to live in the new heaven and new earth which HE has created for them and God will give HIS people new spiritual bodies which are not subject to death, disease, pain, or sorrow.
Stay connected continually to God through prayer and encourage yourself through that shown you by the Holy Spirit for HE is the Spirit of Truth and we will not be disappointed when we hear from HIM for it will be truth and not deception.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Doctrines of Christ:
I Corinthians 10
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
(Bread is food. The food from God is the Word of God which we eat and drink, doing that word of God which comes down from heaven.)
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
We put our trust in God. We go to dinner with Gentiles and they raise their drink glass to their gods and click their glasses together "for luck".
When I am at their table, I don't make any effort to raise my glass to their wishes. They see me just sit there and they know I do not wish to participate with them and they ignore me and go on with their good luck wish and click their glasses together worshiping the "god" , but I don't join them.
In the USA, there is a "saying" that for good luck you eat black eyed peas on New Years Day.
I want my "luck" to come from God. I do not seek luck from things I eat on a feast day. So I do not join them in this pagan thinking.
At many Christian churches, they have what they call "communion" which is eating a piece of cracker and drinking some grape juice. But I know the Lord's Supper, the communion with God, is the eating and drinking of the Word of God and has nothing to do with crackers and grape juice.
I do not participate in eating of crackers and drinking of grape juice at a church service, because I know this is not the Lord's Supper but is a tradition set up by men and has no real power of God.
The proper eating and drinking of the Word of God is eating the food God provides for the church,the WORD, and has great power.
I Corinthians 11
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which HE was betrayed took bread:
24 And when HE had given thanks, HE brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is MY body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of ME.
25 After the same manner also HE took the cup, when HE had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in MY blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
(Jesus is speaking of the bread that comes from God, the word of God during the gathering of the church. And Jesus speaks of the New Testament in HIS blood, the Word of God that comes from God, the New Testament for the New Testament church. We examine ourselves to see how we are partaking of HIS Word. And by the Word HE gives us we examine the way we are going on this earth and make proper corrections as needed.)
26 For as often as ye eat this bread (the word), and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till HE come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread (the word), and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself (by the Word), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup (examining himself by the Word).
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
(For example: We read, "Flee fornication," I Cor. 6:18 And some go out and commit fornication, "eating the word unworthily" and they bring upon themselves damnation by wrongfully eating and drinking the Word of God.)
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).
31 For if we would judge ourselves (by the Word of God), we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
(Be patient for one another for someone may need to hear that word while you have heard that word many times. Be patient in repetitions, "tarry one for another.")

Philippians 1
Paul says:
6 Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
(God who began a good work in us and revealed Jesus Christ, The Word, to us will perform in us that work to the end when Jesus returns to gather the church.)
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ (The Word of God), unto the glory and praise of God.
💥💥💥
Ephesians 2
1 And you hath HE quickened (made alive), who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (manner of life) in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for HIS great love wherewith HE loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
(We were dead with the world, living as the world, but God chose us not because we were good or worthy but just because it was HIS will that we be saved, raised from the dead of this world and put into the body of Christ as HIS own children.)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come HE might shew the exceeding riches of HIS grace in HIS kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (The Word).
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (The Word) unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
💥💥💥
God creates each of us to do HIS will and HIS work.
God gave Pam Padgett the spiritual gift of "helps" so she could do the technical computer work so we could publish ministry blog, books (Amazon), and Podcasts, to send spiritual exhortations to the body of Christ daily around the entire world.
I Corinthians 12 (Spiritual gifts)
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church (to work in the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
💥💥💥
God set me in the body of Christ and ordained me as apostle and prophet according to Ephesians 4:11-12.
Ephesians 4:8; 11-12 Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
(The New Testament Church and all the ministry offices are gifts given to the church after Jesus arose, after the crucifixion and resurrection. And from heaven Jesus calls each member of the body of Christ to be children of God. And Jesus teaches each of us by HIS Holy Spirit who lives in each of us. He brings to our mind the Word of God and teaches us all things and even guides us into all truth.)
John 14:26 (Jesus says) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
💥💥💥
To some God gave families and prepared husbands and wives to do HIS will on this earth as they are lights to their own children and neighbors in the word of God. You are HIS workmanship. Placed to do HIS will on this earth.
Do not try to copy another but depend at all times for God to prepare you for that which you have been assigned by God, following the Holy Spirit of God, doing that which God has placed in your mind and in your heart.
💥💥💥
Jesus says:
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen ME, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in MY name, HE may give it you.
I was following my own ambitions and desires when God spoke to me on August 5, 1975, and said. "Joan ... you know all these mistakes you've been making all these years? Those weren't mistakes. Those were sins."
I was greatly shocked as the apostle Paul was shocked when Jesus spoke to HIM on the road to Damascus.
Acts 9 (Jesus speaks to Paul)
3 And as he (Saul, later named Paul) journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt THOU have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
💥💥💥
God speaks directly to our minds also and causes us to be born again by HIS Word.
With this word God spoke to me in 1975, HE caused me to be born again, made into a new creature, instantly changed from that person I had been.
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.
💥💥💥
Our bodies look the same to humans that we have been friends with in the world, but inside, after God speaks to us, we are no longer as we once were. We now have a new heart and a new spirit given to us by God.
Ezekiel 36:23-27 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.
(They will see you are different.)
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.
(After I was born again, I no longer wanted to be with the worldly people that I had been with. Now I wanted to be with children of God. I wanted to read the Bible. I wanted to hear about God.)
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 nights after I was born again in 1975, I was transported into heaven as I slept in the night.
I was with God and with Christ, and with 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.
A few nights after that, the exact same thing happened to me a second time.
I believe at that time of being made one with the Word of God, I was ordained into the 2 ministry offices to which I was placed by God in the body of Christ, apostle and prophet. And it was God who taught me the work of the ministry in these two offices. The Holy Spirit led me through the Bible, taking me from scripture to scripture, teaching me, for the next 5 years.
When it was time for me to do ministry work as apostle and prophet, I was asleep in the night on January 10, 1980, when a trumpet-like voice spoke 3 words into my ear. "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
(I believe that voice that spoke to me was an angel of God carrying to me a message from God.)
I jumped out of bed, and wrote the letters "KWJS" on a note pad, not wanting to get these letters mixed up because I felt immediately they were call letters to either radio or television.
When I found these letters to be a radio station I spoke to God and said: "Are YOU telling me to go on radio? I wouldn't know how to do that."
The Holy Spirit brought to my mind: "Call the radio station manager."
(Which I did that same morning.)
I told the station manager God might be showing me to go on radio. And I asked, "How would you do that?"
The station manager 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 morning and mailed it to the station manager and within 5 days I was on KWJS exhorting the church.
We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus, "The Word" that comes down to us from heaven.
Our assignments differ, but God is the author. And HE puts us into the body of Christ and does as HE wills with us. We simply do what we believe God has told us to do.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Matthew 6 (Jesus says)
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask HIM.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be THY name. (The Word of God.)
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread. (both spiritual and physical food)
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
(I often pray, "Deliver me from evil today." For there is much evil in the end times.)
💥💥💥
Luke 21 (Jesus said:)
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Prayer connects us to God and makes us "worthy to escape", for we turned to God for HIS help.
Prayer is a instrument of peace, for by prayer we receive peace from God concerning the various troubles and concerns of the day.
Therefore the apostle Paul says:
Philippians 4:
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
💥💥💥
Prayer humbles us, showing that we do not trust in ourselves. Each time we pray, we deliberately put our trust in God in the matter at hand.
I Peter 5
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that HE may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
After we pray, God often brings us a scripture to mind or an instruction. By doing that scripture (or Word) we "resist the devil".
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of HIS might.
(strong in the Lord: The Word which God gives you.)
John 8:31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus will return to gather His church to take them to the new heaven and new earth created by God for them.
Revelation 21:1-5 (God showed this to the apostle John)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
There will be only righteousness in the new heaven and new earth.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
💥💥💥
For decades church groups have debated: Will Christians go through the great tribulation at the end of this world?
Jesus answers this question:
Matthew 24:21-22
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
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.
Some of the elect of God, Christians, will be on this earth during the great tribulation.
💥💥💥
Luke 21 (Jesus says)
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
(The earth is currently kept in the solar system by the Word of God. But the time will come when God will speak and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Here is a dream God gave me showing this event. The earth slipped on it's axis. People were terrified. The governments of men were meeting with scientists and religious leaders to see what could be done. Nothing can be done for it is of God. A TV newsman was trying to report this story. But he became so frightened that he couldn't talk knowing this would affect him also. So he just got up and walked off camera.)
💥💥💥
Isaiah 13:13 God says: 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.
💥💥💥
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.
(They "mourn" when they see Jesus coming for they know it is all over for them. All their reputations among men of this world will end and only God and Jesus will matter. Their possessions will be destroyed. Gold and silver will be worthless. And at the end God will destroy heaven and earth.)
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.
💥💥💥
Jesus will raise the dead in Christ and the elect of God will be removed from this present earth and all will meet "in the air" and will be taken to the new heaven and earth wherein dwelleth only righteousness.
These earthly bodies will not be taken into heaven. We will be given new spiritual bodies.
I Corinthians 15
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
(God is a Spirit. We will be raised as spiritual bodies.)
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(Blink: that is how fast we will be changed from these earthly bodies to our new spiritual bodies before we are taken into heaven.)
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
💥💥💥
Concerning the dead in Christ: Paul says:
I Thessalonians 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep (dead).
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
💥💥💥
God will destroy this current 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.
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.
(One day as I was reading this God said to me: "You will never make this present earth righteousness no matter what you do. It is the new heaven and the 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.
(From now to the return of Jesus we must focus on living in peace and being without spot and blameless. No one knows the day and hour of Jesus' return, therefore we must be diligent daily to live in peace, without spot, and blameless because if Jesus returns and finds us debating and arguing and having spots from previous unsettled problems and blamed, we may suffer great loss.)
💥💥💥
Luke 21 (Jesus says)
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
(Prayer over all problems and concerns makes us connects us to God and makes us "worth to escape" all these things coming upon this earth.)
💥💥💥
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (The Word).

James 1:18 Of HIS own will begat HE us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of HIS creatures.
💥💥💥
(Comments by Joan Boney:)
My mother always loved reading horoscopes.
Before I was born again, I gave her a set of horoscope drinking mugs to please her.
After I was born again, I visited her in the town where she lived and when I opened her kitchen cabinet, I noticed those horoscope mugs. I took a paper bag and began removing the mugs and putting them into the paper bag.
My mother was watching me and when she realized what I was about to do, she became slightly agitated and said, "Stop. What are you doing? I want to keep those. You gave them to me."
I paid no attention at all and I continued removing the mugs and putting them into the garbage bag.
I took the mugs to the garbage dumpster, broke the mugs so no one else could use them and threw them into the dumpster.
I returned to my mother's house and went to my bedroom and got my Bible and returned to the living room where my mother was sitting and I opened the Bible and read aloud the following scripture to my mother.
Deuteronomy 18
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
💥💥💥
My mother sat there quietly for a few seconds after I finished reading these scriptures. Then she said, "Well ... I guess we'd better not do that any more."
(With that she was born again, changed by God into a new creature.)
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.
After I returned to Dallas, my uncle wrote to me and said, "Your mother's changed! She's really changed!"
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.

When Pam Padgett was in High School one of her classmates was killed on a motorcycle.
Pam had never before considered that someone her age could die.
As she thought about this, she realized that her only hope was God and that none of the rituals taught in the Catholic church could save her. Only by God could she be saved. (The Word of truth.) And if she died at that second, she would go to hell.
Pam was terrified. And she cried out to God. "Please help me. If there is any way I can be saved, please save me."
After praying Pam realized there was something of God, in her.
A few years later, she was reading the Bible and saw a scripture and knew this is what was in her.
I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
💥💥💥
In 1975, I was reading a book about sin. God spoke to me and said: "Joan. You know all those mistakes you've been making all these years? Those weren't mistakes. Those were sins."
"Sins?" I thought they were mistakes.
(With that Word of truth, God caused me to be born again.)
I went forward at church when I was 15 and was baptized ... but nothing changed in my life. I continued to pursue my own ambitions. I don't ever remember thinking about God or the Bible.
But after receiving this word from God, I was very different. Now I wanted to read the Bible. I wanted to hear about God. I no longer wanted to be with the worldly people I had been with before this word came to me. And all I wanted to talk about was God.
After this happened, I said to my best friend, "Oh by the way Donna, I don't think I've been a Christian until now." She was very excited and said, "Joanie ... come back here. What did you just say? I repeated, "I don't think I've been a Christian until now. God spoke to me and now I think I am a Christian although I thought I was a Christian before, I don't think I was until now."
God speaks to us and even calls us by name, and that changes everything immediately.
Then we are "dead" to the world and alive to God, that we may serve God instead of serving our own selves and devils.
After God spoke to me, I was baptized a second time. As the minister lowered me into the water, I heard, "This is like being buried with Christ." As I came out of the water, I heard, "This is like being raised with Christ."
Colossians 3
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, WHO is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with HIM in glory.
Born again: Dead to this world. Alive to God. God opens our eyes by giving us the Word of truth and this Word causes us to be a new creature.

When trouble comes to us, all we have to do is to learn to put our faith in God each time we have a problem or potential problem.
We put our faith in God by turning to God in prayer, asking for help or asking God for wisdom in dealing with the problem.
Each time we call on God asking HIM for help, we put our faith in God.
And we learn to call on God over each concern, each time we are concerned.
💥💥💥
I'm 84 years old. In 2021, one day fearful thoughts began to come to my mind: "If I get to where I can't walk, what will happen to me? What will I do? I won't be able to stay here. I'll have to move somewhere else."
I cried out: "GOD ... HELP ME!"
Instantly the following came into my mind: "God will supply all your need."
"That's right ... God will supply all my need!" (I cried out!)
I completely relaxed and the fearful thoughts vanished.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We submit ourselves to God by calling on God for help!
God brings us HIS Word and by faith in that Word we will not heed the thoughts sent by the devil and the devil will flees from us when he sees we believe that Word sent to us by God.
💥💥💥
We put our trust in God each time we cry out to God.
My 97 year old cousin told me this one day. She said, "I do fine all day but I get so lonely at night."
(Her husband died 10 years ago.)
When she told me this problem, I was so excited for I knew all she had to do was ask God for help and God would help her!
So I said, "Oh this is no problem. When you begin to feel that loneliness, all you have to do is to turn to God immediately, as soon as you begin to feel that loneliness, and ask God to help you. God will help you!"
My cousin had been taken to church as a baby and attended church all her life.
Many church goers do not understand calling on God for help.
And it is a matter of trusting in God.
About two weeks later, this cousin said to me, "I do all right during the day but at night I get so lonely."
She didn't put her trust in God.
I just didn't try to help her after that, knowing there was nothing I could do for her.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Titus 3:9-11 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10-11 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
💥💥💥
In 2018, I fell and broke a hip and wrist and after surgery could not put any weight on my leg where the hip had been broken. So they put me into a rehabilitation hospital for 2-1/2 months. The first month I was in "bed rest" for I couldn't try to walk or do anything, according to the doctor.
And I was alone most of the time, having no relatives and only a few visitors.
Often I would awake in the morning and think, "How can I get through this day?"
And then I would remember God and ask God to help me to get though that day.
(The time sort of flew by and before I knew it, evening had come. I thanked God as I realized this.)
💥💥💥
The man who was helping me with my sound system was leaving my house one day and he turned to me and said, "I don't know why I am telling you this but they think I have ALS and I am going into hospital next week for tests."
(At that time, David was 44 years old and had a wife and 2 children, ages 8 and 12.)
I told David every time he was afraid, just ask God to help him.
At one point, he had to go to hospital for an operation. He said he remembered what I had said and he did do this and he was helped so much when he did this.
💥💥💥
When we turn to God and ask God for help, often God will bring us an idea showing us something to do and when we do that, everything falls into place.
By HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit, God brings ideas to our mind. God communicates with us by giving us thoughts to help us in situations.
When my mother was still living, I would go to cafe daily to get our lunch. It cost $5.30. I would take a five-dollar-bill from my purse and a quarter and a nickle. And I would leave my purse with my mother while I went for our food.
One day I looked in my coin purse and couldn't find a quarter and nickel.
As I dug through the change looking for these coins, I heard, "Three dimes will work!"
(That was the Holy Spirit helping me for I had several dimes in my coin purse but I was in habit of using a quarter and a nickel! The Holy Spirit is a helper to us!)
💥💥💥
We recognize the thoughts sent to us by God, for when we have such a thought, it is "easy to be intreated."
(When thoughts are very complex or overly expensive, I always know those thoughts are not from God.)
Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says: Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
💥💥💥
God will not fail us nor forsake us when we turn to HIM and call on HIM for wisdom or help in our problems.
Psalm 62:8 Trust in HIM at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before HIM: God is a refuge for us.
Remember: God knows the future! He will lead us in plans that are right for us in our situation.

Some people spend years trying to change without success. Some go to psychologists for help without any real change. Some read self-help books hoping to change.
Power is in the Word of God and when God speaks to us we experience instant change for God gives us a new heart and a new Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and our flesh, the old man, is put to death, while the new creature from God appears in us.
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.
💥💥💥
2 Peter 1
3 According as HIS divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
The Bible is filled with promises made by God to us, the believer. In both the Old and New Testament we have been given exceeding great and precious promises from God.
Here are some of these:
💥 Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.
💥 Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
💥 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
💥 James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
💥 Isaiah 26:3-4 THOU wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on THEE: because he trusteth in THEE. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
💥 Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).

One of the first things God showed me to do as a new Christian, was to get out of debt and stay out of debt. On this Podcast I share with you some things God did with me to help me to get free. Also shared are scriptures for a foundation on this subject.
💥💥💥💥💥
(Some of the following scriptures are good for us to think upon.)
II Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
💥💥💥
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
💥💥💥
Jesus says:
Matthew 6:24 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.
💥💥💥
Proverbs 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
💥💥💥
I Timothy 6:3-12 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
(If any person around you thinks "gain" is a sign of godliness, withdraw yourselve from him, for some of the richest men got their riches by ungodly methods, and many ministers got their money by pressuring their congregations and by making them feel guilty if they didn't give to them.)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich (try to get more money) fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
💥💥💥
Paul tells Timothy, the evangelist:
I Timothy 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
💥💥💥
Extortioners:
I Corinthians 5:11;13 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat ... Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
💥💥💥
There is however a righteous way to success and prosperity.
Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.💥💥💥
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(Follow God one scripture and one word from God at a time, focused on that instruction, doing that instruction, continuing to do that instruction ... making it a part of your life.)💥💥💥
I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
💥💥💥
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
💥💥💥
Joshua 1:7-9 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
(We don't do the Law of Moses, but we do follow the rules of the New Testament Bible. Also many of the promises of God from the Old Testament are valid for us in the NT church, such as: Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.)
💥💥💥
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law (NT Bible) shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? (says God)
(Did God lead you to do what you are doing? Examine your actions by this for if God told us to do something, we have a very strong anchor to go forward and to keep doing that action.)
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
(After God tells us to do something, humans and devils, will often try to lead us opposite way.
💥💥💥
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.
(Meditate in that "Word" which you believe God has spoken to you. To meditate on that word, keeping that word before you, often gives you the strength of do that word. Also meditate in that scripture when you feel an attention drawn to you toward a specific scripture.)
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
💥💥💥
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
💥💥💥
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct thy paths.
(Pray over everything and then allow God to lead you.)
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
💥💥💥
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
💥💥💥
Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation (manner of life) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
💥💥💥
Sometimes we can have the word from God planted in our heart but we might be thinking of doing that word in the wrong way.
* In 2020, a desire came into my heart to go back on radio to exhort the church. I prayed. Negative thoughts from devil began coming to me. Then God said one word, setting my way straight. "Podcast" I had the will of God in my heart, but my thinking of how to do this was faulty. Radio is very expensive. Podcasts cost almost nothing. Radio broadcasts are a one time shot. Podcasts are a broadcast library of information from God to the church. The way to go was "Podcasts."
Pray for wisdom concerning how to do that which you believe God has told you to do.

The first thing God gave me to recognize ideas that HE brought to me was this:
God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light.
If the plan or idea that comes is overly expensive and very difficult to do, I pray again about that matter for I do not believe it is a plan from God when it is a heavy burden.
Matthew 11 Jesus says
28 Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.
💥💥💥
Here is a promise from God for us if we lack wisdom concerning how to do something.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
💥💥💥
James 3 shows us how to recognize the ideas that come from our flesh and from devils and also wisdom that is from above:
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Recently, the thought came to my mind, "Is there any place in the Bible where we are told there will be a rise in homosexual/lesbians in the last days?"
Immediately I was reminded of this scripture:
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Concerning being without natural affections:
Romans 1:26-28
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;
💥💥💥
Once my cleaning lady asked me, "But what about those homosexuals who say they were just born that way?"
I turned to God with this question and was reminded of the following:
Jesus said:
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
They were born male or female but God turned them over when they failed to acknowledge HIS truth.
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
💥💥💥
From what the Bible says, we certainly should expect to see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the last days.
And we can see from the Bible God's thinking on this subject.
Deuteronomy 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
There is no place in either the Old or New Testament where God approves homosexuals or lesbians. Sodom is given to us as one example of God's dealing with this issue.
Genesis 19 (God sends 2 angels to destroy Sodom)
1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
(Angels have the form of natural men.)
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
(Homosexuals came from every quarter of the city of Sodom with the intention of having sex with the 2 men who came to Lot's house.)
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
(know them: have sex with them)
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men (who were angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 And the men (the angels) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men (angels) laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he (the angel) said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And HE overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife (Lot's wife) looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when HE overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
2 Peter 2
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
(Lot knew the deeds of the men of the city of Sodom were "wicked", see Genesis 19:7)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Genesis 13
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Before God destroys this present heaven and earth, we should see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the nations of this earth and in the approval shown them by the nations of this earth.
As Christians, we live in peace, knowing what we can expect to see is foretold by God in the Bible.
The perilous times of 2 Timothy 3 as stated in the Bible.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ...
Thoughts come from our own desires ... thoughts come from devils who want to destroy us ... and thoughts come from God who wants to help us and show us HIS way.
We want to learn to choose those thoughts that are from God for this is life to us for now and for all eternity!
