Building your house on the word from God

And the LORD saw it, and it displeased HIM that there was no judgment. (Isaiah 59:15)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Some people, even those who call themselves Christian, hate judgment.  They love the evil and hate the good.  They speak to men and approve the evil doers. They show evil works by their approval.
 
They are wicked.
 
And there is no repentance when justice is gone.

Isaiah 56 & James 4

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for MY salvation is near to come, and MY righteousness to be revealed.
 
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
 
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from HIS people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
 
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
 
5 Even unto them will I give in MINE  house and within MY walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
 
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve HIM, and to love the name of the LORD, to be HIS servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of MY covenant;
 
7 Even them will I bring to MY holy mountain, and make them joyful in MY house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon MINE altar; for MINE house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
 
8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to HIM, beside those that are gathered unto HIM.
 
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
 
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
 
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
 
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
 
💥💥💥
 
James 4
 
13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
 
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
 
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
 
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

Isaiah 55

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Isaiah 55
 
6 Seek ye the LORD while HE may be found, call ye upon HIM while HE is near:
 
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and HE will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for HE will abundantly pardon.
 
8 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the LORD.
 
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.
 
💥💥💥
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
 
11 So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
 
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
 
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Going out not knowing where I was to go

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Hebrews 11  (Concerning Abraham)
 
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
 
💥💥💥
 
In 1979, I owned a small business in Dallas, Texas.
 
I knew, after I was born again in 1975, that God was training me to be a minister.  I knew the 2 offices to which I was called by God, apostle and prophet.  
 
I had no idea where I was to go to be a minister.
 
💥💥💥
 
I closed my business on July 31, 1979.  
 
From that point forward I waited for God to show me "where" I was to go to do the work of God. As I waited I stayed at my apartment in Dallas and continued to read the Bible throughout the day as I had been doing for the previous 5 years.
 
On the night of January 10, 1980 ... I was asleep in the night.  A very loud trumpet like voice spoke 3 words into my ear:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
 
I jumped out of bed and wrote "KWJS" on a notepad beside my bed.
 
When I found KWJS to be a radio station, I said to God, "Are YOU telling me to go on radio?  I wouldn't know how to do that."
 
Immediately the Holy Spirit brought this to my mind:  "Call the radio station manager."
 
I called KWJS and asked to speak to the station manager.  He came on the phone immediately.  I said:  "God might be showing me to go on radio.  How would you do that?"
 
He replied:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasts we will offer you a contract."
 
Immediately, that same morning, I recorded a broadcast and took it to the mail that same day and sent it to the station manager at radio station KWJS.
 
Within 5 days I was broadcasting exhortations for the church on radio station KWJS.

Revelation 18 "The fall of Babylon"

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Isaiah the prophet spoke of the coming of the Day of the Lord in prophecy of Isaiah 13.
 
Here is what it says of "Babylon" in Revelation 18, which is that which I believe Isaiah was shown that was to come.
 
I believe Isaiah saw the fall of great cities of this world.
 
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.
 
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
 
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,
 
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
 
(When Coronavirus struck in 2020, we saw how fast great cities can be shut down.  Times Square in NYC became almost void of people.  It caused me to understand more about how fast things can stop.  And I recalled the time we will see the fall of great cities never to rise again at the end of this world and in the great tribulation which God will send upon this earth at the end of this world.)
 
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
 
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
 
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
 
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
 
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
 
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
 
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
 
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.
 
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
 
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
 
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
 
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Isaiah the prophet tells of the destruction that will come from God at the end of this world

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
I don't believe this has come yet, but the iniquity of this world today and the terrible antichrist removing scripture from churches to set up doctrines which suit sinners in the church today makes me think this prophecy spoken by Isaiah the prophet is near, along with the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation of God.
 
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.
 
desolate:  deserted of people and in a state of bleak and dismal emptiness;  feeling misery, unhappiness; loneliness; make bleakly and depressingly empty; make someone feel utterly wretched and unhappy; abandoned; alone.
 
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.
 
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
 
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
 
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
 
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
 
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
 
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
 
(I believe this "Babylon" is symbolic and many of the great cities of this world are "Babylon."  See Revelation 18.)
 
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
 
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
 
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
God gives us the Holy Spirit when we are born again and leads us by HIS Spirit by bringing thoughts to our minds by the Holy Spirit of God.
 
Examples on this podcast of some of the information God has given me by HIS Spirit.
 
I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
 
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, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
 
These are things the Holy Spirit does for each person who is born again by the Spirit of God.
 
   * HE teaches us all things.  (secular & spiritual)
   * HE reminds us of all Jesus has said.
   * HE guides us into all truth.
   * HE shows us things to come.

Jesus said: "My kingdom is not of this world."

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
The Jews thought Messiah would set up HIS kingdom on this earth.
 
But Jesus said to Pilate:
 
John 18:36  My kingdom is not of this world: if MY kingdom were of this world, then would MY servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is MY kingdom not from hence.

Peter explains:
 
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.
 
God will destroy this present heaven and earth with fire.
 
💥💥💥
 
Jesus explains:
 
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.
 
💥💥💥
 
God has made a new heaven and new earth for HIS people.  He showed this new Jerusalem to the apostle John.
 
Revelation 21
 
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
 
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
 
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
 
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
 
5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
 
💥💥💥
 
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.
 
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The apostle Paul said: "Evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse."

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
When truth and justice diminish, people often become discouraged in nations of men.
 
The apostle Paul told us in the last days "perilous times" would come.
 
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.
 
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;
 
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.

When truth and justice vanish

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
"People didn't care about the truth ..." 
 
And Joseph Goebbels called it "The Big Lie" ...
 
And he said, "People didn't care about the truth."  "Tell the story and keep on telling it,"  because people didn't care about truth.  
 
They just wanted what they wanted for themselves and it basically didn't matter if what they said to the German people was truth.  
 
And with this "big lie"  (as Goebbels called this)  they began to speak lies about Jews and later gather up Jews and put them into the concentration camps to work them to death or exterminate them in gas camps.    ("Netflix:  Episode 9:  Greatest Events of WWII in Colour", 17:16 to 17:42 seconds unto episode.)
 
First concentration camps: 1937
 
💥💥💥
 
William Shirer, in his book, "The Collapse of the Third Republic", wanted to study the way nations fell and he wrote about the rise of France and then the Fall of France when they simply gave up in June, 1940, to the Germans while they had an army far greater than the Germans.
 
He concluded there were 3 things that caused integrity to disappear in France:  
 
* People not caring about "truth".
* Journalists were uninformed and people didn't care as a rule. Often inquiry was not even made into the matter. (Chapter 1)  Same problem in churches where scripture on matter is not considered important.
* Events, such as the Dreyfus matter, (Chapter 3) saw basic "justice" withheld so the innocent were penalized.  (Even high government officials in France in 1895 put documents they knew were lies into evidence to benefit themselves.)
 
💥💥💥
 
I see this in churches today, as well as in masses in USA.  "Considering that "little things" just don't matter."
 
In such as:  Matthew 5:32  where Jesus said the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
 
So they just stop speaking this scripture ... If they speak that scripture, it will cause people to "leave the church group" and with the leaving, the church group will suffer "the loss of money."  And they reason "it's such a little matter".
 
Matthew 5:32  (Jesus said)  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
 
Matthew 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
 
(The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.)
 
Comments by Joan Boney:
 
In going to church 40 plus years, I've never heard these 2 scriptures spoken in any Bible class or at any church group that I have attended.
 
💥💥💥
 
The apostle Paul said:
 
2 Thessalonians 2
 
3 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;
 
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
 
In 1982, I was reading these scriptures and God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches ... The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."  (antichrist)
 
When any portion of scripture is omitted or changed, integrity is eaten away in that church group and antichrist moves through the open door and sets up another doctrine opposite to the doctrine of Christ in the Holy Bible.
 
I've often heard long time church goers say, "Things at church are watered down now.  It isn't the same at church as it used to be."
 
This is the end-time apostasy that would come allowing antichrist to come into the church group by the changing of scripture "just a little" or not speaking "that" scripture at all if people might consider that Word to be "offensive".
 
Not caring about "truth" weakens and destroys churches and nations and justice evaporates and the church and nation falls, in time.
 
(As we see in the Trump issue today where judges and the USA justice department bring issues before the public, but nothing gets done and truth fails to be identified by officials ... and it seems the masses don't care and just want to go forward to things they consider important ... like in Germany during the Nazi rule and Hitler reign ... Integrity is gone when individuals don't care about truth and justice.)
 
Of course God cares and will judge justly at some point in time.
 
2 Corinthians 5:10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
 
But now ... fear is rampant ... in leaders of governments of men and also in church groups.
 
This leads to the weakening and eventual fall of nations and churches. which is happening today before our very eyes!
 
Jesus comes soon and will straighten everything out.
 
2 Thessalonians 2
 
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
 
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
 
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
 
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
 
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
💥💥💥
 
2 Peter 2
 
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord (The Word) that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
 
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
 
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
 
💥💥💥
 
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:
 
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
 
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
 
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
 
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
 
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
 
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
 
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
 
💥💥💥
 
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
 
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
 
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
 
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
 
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
 
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Don't let the world or devils steal your salvation. Hold fast to God and the Holy Scriptures. Let yourself be healed.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
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,
 
every weight:  things that trouble me needlessly  (eliminating such TV shows as evening newscasts)
 
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;
 
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
 
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
 
💥💥💥
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
 
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
 
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
 
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
 
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
 
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
 
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
 
25 See that ye refuse not HIM that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from HIM that speaketh from heaven:
 
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now HE hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
 
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
 
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
 
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

God blessed the end of Job more than the beginning

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
Job 42:10, 12   And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
 
12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:
 
 
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 
 
 
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.

That which is coming upon the earth. What the Bible shows us.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
2 Timothy 3  (the apostle Paul says)
 
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.
 
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;
 
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.

Protecting the ministry and my life as a Christian

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
Ephesians 4:8;11-12
 
8 Wherefore HE saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
 
11 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
 
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
 
💥💥💥
 
Comments by Joan Boney:
 
It is so important for each of us who have been called by Jesus to protect the ministry to which we have been called.
 
And it is important for each person called to be a Christian to protect that calling.
 
Ephesians 1:4 According as HE (God) hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
 
💥💥💥
 
We must keep ourselves from things that would cause us to speak as this world speaks.  We cannot allow ourselves to be polluted by wisdom of men of this world.  We must not take in their wisdom.  We must be very careful to keep our wisdom to be from God, agreeing at all times with the Holy Bible. Rejecting this world when it goes in a way opposite to the wisdom from God.  Filling our minds with the ideas presented by God in the Holy Bible.
 
💥💥💥
 
I had a Catholic friend who loved to visit me.  She would often tell me wisdom of this world.  I would say:  "What you just said is not in the Bible.  I want to build my house on the Word from God."
 
So why would I be subject to watching the evening, "News of the World"?
 
💥💥💥
 
On the first day of Donald Trump's "Hush Money" trial, I started to turn on the news to see what happened.  Then I woke up.  "Why would I want to see humans judging a human"?
 
Concerning Nineveh: God sent Jonah to Nineveh to say:  "Yet forty days and Nineveh will be destroyed." The king and people were terrified and repented.  Jonah sat on a hill nearby to see what would happen.  After they repented, God did not destroy Nineveh and Jonah was bitter and mad because God did not destroy Nineveh.
 
Jonah 4:10:11  Then said the LORD, Thou (Jonah) 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?
 
God will judge rightly.
 
💥💥💥
 
I'm not of this world.  I obey the laws of this world as I can, so long as they don't keep me from obeying laws of God.  Some of the world's laws I do not agree with.  But I stay out of the controversy and do not try to make the World to be godly when they do not have the Spirit of God.
 
My kingdom is not of this world.  (John 18:36)  Like Jesus there is another place God has prepared for me and for HIS people.  I'm truly a stranger here on this earth. 
💥💥💥
 
Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
 
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.
 
It is my responsibility to find out what pleases God and to do that, conforming my thinking to the Holy Bible.  This is what I want to do.  Building my personal life on the Word from God.
 
💥💥💥
 
Galatians 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
 
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
 
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
 
As a Christian, born of the Spirit of God ... Not participating in things which make me consider it is "normal" to commit the works of the flesh, thereby excusing these works as just being "normal".  These works are "normal" if you are not a born again Christian.  But being born again by God, we are given by God HIS heart and HIS Spirit thereby we live differently to this world.  And I find it not good to hear or focus on ways of this world but to keep my mind and focus on ways of God for Now  we belong to God.  So why would I want to know what this world is doing today, feeding myself with the way of this world?
 
I decided this is not the way for me to go, feeding myself with news of what they are doing.  It could cause me to pollute the ministry and way of God.
 
We live in a "strange country".   We are "peculiar people" to that country.
 
1 Peter 2:9-10  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of HIM who hath called you out of darkness into HIS marvellous light:
 
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
 
💥💥💥
 
Hebrews 11
 
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
 
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
 
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
 
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE hath prepared for them a city.
 
After we renew our minds to the Bible showing ourselves the ways of God, this world is "strange to us."  (unusual)
 
💥💥💥
 
Hebrews 11:9-10  By faith he (Abraham) sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,
 
(So we do not try to fit in with the people of this world for they follow the desires of their own flesh. Now we seek to conform to the way of God, rejecting the flesh.  We want to build our house on the way of God. Looking for what God wants us to do. Seeking HIM.)
 
Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance:
 
(So we choose to reject trying to see what people of this world are doing today.  And we deliberately do those things which cause us to produce fruits of the Spirit and we depend on God to show us what to do.) 
 
God is our newscast.  The Bible and God by His Spirit will tell us what will come as needed. 
 
John 16:13  HE will show you things to come.  
 
Hebrews 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
 
Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).
 
💥💥💥
 
At one point in my life, around 1975, after I was born again, God said to me:  "Don't watch things of this world:  plays, news, football, movies and such."
 
For a season:  I didn't watch.
 
I was on a buying trip for my business that I owned at that time.  My mother and dad met me in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  We were driving along and someone mentioned a man named "Jimmy Carter."  I said, "Whose Jimmy Carter?"  They were shocked!  He had just been elected president of the United States.
 
It didn't make one bit of difference in my life that I could see.
 
At that time I was very seriously learning Bible as God taught me, so I could do the work of God that God showed me:  apostle & prophet
 
Now, after 40 + years, I want to return again to the early days when I was unaffected by this world.  For I know serious things of God are rapidly coming to this world.  I want to be sure God is leading me in what I say and write.
 
There is certainly a price to pay when we are a minister of God and a Christian!  But it is well worth the price! for all eternity!
 
Mark 8:36  Jesus says:  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Paul says: "Let women keep silence in the church for it is not permitted for them to speak." When God showed me I was to be a minister, what I said to God, is, "How can I speak after what Paul said?"

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
God said to me:  "Look at what these women were doing."
 
I went back to I Corinthians 14 to see: 
 
34 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 appeared to me that these women were interrupting the gathering of the church by asking questions.  
 
This would not be proper.
 
💥💥💥
 
Then God showed me these women speaking in the church as prophets in the Bible:  Anna, Philip's 4 daughters, and Deborah who judged Israel.
 
Anna:
 
Luke 2:36-38
 
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
 
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
 
38 And she coming in that instant (when they brought the baby Jesus into the temple) gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of HIM to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
 
💥💥💥
 
The 4 daughters of Philip who did prophesy:
 
Prophesy is for the church:  Ezekiel 3
To prophesy the person would have to speak to the church.
 
Acts 21:8-9
 
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
 
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
 
💥💥💥
 
Deborah: 
 
Judges 4:1-9
 
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
 
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
 
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
 
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
 
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
 
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
 
7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
 
8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
 
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee:
💥💥💥
 
(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
By these things, I was persuaded I was to do the ministries of Jesus in the offices of apostle & prophet.
 
And God showed me apostles today are anointed by Jesus to deal with scriptures and to establish the church in the doctrines of Christ, for in the last days many churches will "fall away" from doctrines of the Bible. (antichrist of the end times)  And NT apostles will try to return them to Bible doctrines in the church.
 
Prophets are sent to the church with messages from God.
 
Ministries of the NT churches:
 
Ephesians 4:8; 11-12
 
8 Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
 
11  And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
 
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
 
Some churches today teach there are no prophets in the NT church today:
 
In Ephesians we see Jesus, from heaven, put the ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher.
 
Also in the book of Acts, we see many scriptures showing prophets working in the NT church:
 
Acts 11:27  And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
 
Acts 15:32  And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
 
I Corinthians 12:27-28  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
 
28 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.
 
I Corinthians 14   (Paul instructions for the NT Church)
 
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
 
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
 
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
 
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
 
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
 
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
 
Acts 13:1  Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
 
Acts 21:10-11  And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
 
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

Paul tells us Jesus will not return until there is a "falling away". What that means.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
In 2 Thessalonians 2 the apostle Paul says:
 
3 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;
 
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
 
💥💥💥
 
The end time apostasy in the churches before Jesus returns:
 
In 1982, I was reading the above scriptures and God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the church ... The falling away are churches leaving the scriptures".
 
Scriptures in the New Testament Bible will be changed to draw people to the church and many verses of scripture will be no longer spoken, such as:  The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  (Jesus spoke this in Matthew 5:32 & in Matthew 19:9)  I've never heard this taught in any church I've attended in 40 + years.)
 
Churches today approve many things against scripture:  This is antichrist in the church today.
 
The apostasy had to happen in the churches before Jesus can return.  It is already happening and has been for many decades.  This tells us Jesus could return soon, anytime.  And the Great Tribulation of God where God sends 14 plagues upon this earth could happen anytime.

Matthew 24: Jesus explains the events leading up to the great tribulation of the end times

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
The apostle Peter explains that time in the sight of God differs from time as we view time.  
 
Jesus says, Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
 
But 2000+ years have passed since the crucifixion and resurrection.  So how can this be viewed as "quickly"?
 
Peter explains:  2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
 
By this, God views it has been a little over 2 days since Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
 
💥💥💥
 
Revelation 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
 
💥💥💥
 
In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us an outline of that which leads up to the end of this world and HIS coming to gather the elect of God.
 
Matthew 24
 
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.
 
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.  
 
(Jesus shows HIS disciples that all these things made by man will be destroyed at the end of this world.)
 
💥💥💥
 
3 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.
 
(Many will come saying "Jesus is Lord" and people will view them as Christian so they will be able to deceive many.  They will come as ministers.  They will also come as people in the congregations.  But they will bring doctrines not of Christ but of antichrist and they will lead people away from many scriptures in the New Testament Bible.  These are the antichrist churches of the end times leading up to the great tribulation with God will send to judge the whole world along with the antichrist churches.)
Revelation 8, 9, 16
 
💥💥💥
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
 
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
 
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
 
(Some of those things have now already passed:  WWI;  WWII; churches departing from scripture of the Bible and setting up doctrines contrary to Christ, antichrist in the churches)
 
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for MY name's sake.
 
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
 
(Example:  In WWII Germany. People lived in terror for if a neighbor or even their own children became offended they could denounce a person to the Gestapo and cause them to be taken and tortured and even killed.)
 
💥💥💥
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
 
(Today, all over the world, there are false ministers leading individual churches, falling away from scripture of Bible and setting up doctrines opposite to Bible.  antichrist)

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
 
(2 Timothy 3:1-6    This know also, that in the last days  perilous times shall come.
 
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
... 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.)
 
(We see iniquity growing worse and worse in both churches and world leaders and individuals day by day, year by year.  Often we are shocked by that which they say and do.  Finally we've heard so much evil from them that we expect to hear such and if we aren't careful we will become hardened to the evil and will be in danger of being swept away ourselves from truth, from God, from Bible.)

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)
 
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
 
(I've heard many today in church groups say their church has become "watered down".  And politicians in USA have grown worse and worse and integrity is even worse that in decades before and many of us are shocked at that which they say and do.  All this leads up to the great tribulation where God bring HIS own judgments upon both religious and non-religious persons of this whole world.)

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
 
(This has been fulfilled through Internet:  blogs & podcasts  This is a major factor showing us we are at the threshold of the coming of Jesus, The Great Tribulation of God, and the destruction of this heaven and this earth ...  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.)

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)
 
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
 
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
 
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
 
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
 
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
 
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
 
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.
 
(Everyone will see Jesus coming through the clouds.)

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
 
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
 
25 Behold, I have told you before.
 
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
 
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
 
💥💥💥
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.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
 
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
 
(The generation that sees the beginning will see the end.)

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.  (says Jesus)
 
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.
 
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
 
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
 
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
 
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
 
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
 
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
 
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
 
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Life changing concepts: Following the word given you by God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
It is so important not to rush through words given you by God.  Often there is no end to doing an instruction.
 
Jesus said:
 
John 8
 
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;
 
continue:  to do something and keep on doing
 
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

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.

I Thessalonians 5:22  Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Matthew 6
 
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.
 
Take action concerning what you can do today ... and pray over tomorrow.

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.

#11 Life changing concepts shown to me by God through the Holy Spirit and the scriptures

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
 
These are things brought to my attention by the Holy Spirit.  I'm sure there are other things also
 
💥  The Holy Spirit just reminded me of Psalm 51:10.  I'm always praying this over me when I have conflict with another person.  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
 
Praying this has helped me so much.  God gives me a new heart and a new Spirit instantly! (Of course you must have faith for it to happen!)
 
James 1:6-7  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
 
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
 
(All things are done by faith and without faith nothing is done.)

#10 Life changing concepts shown to me by God through the Holy Spirit and the scriptures

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
 
💥   Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
 
They say "Jesus is Lord".  They say they are Christians.  But are they led by the Holy Spirit of God? Have you seen this in them?  Do they really understand what you are saying or are they pretending?  Do they stare at you blankly, just waiting until you stop talking?  Or do they delight in the Word you speak from God?
 
Matthew 24:4-5  Jesus said:  Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  
 
Antichrist in today's church.
