Building your house on the word from God

It is very difficult to do the work of a prophet. But God keeps us going.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
One of the ministry offices given to the New Testament church after Jesus was resurrected is "prophet".
Ephesians 4:11-12    And HE (Jesus) 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:
God often opens the eyes of prophets to see wrong that is being done in the churches and in the lives of individuals who identify themselves as being "Christians".
As a prophet, if we fail to warn that person when God shows us something, and that person dies in their wrong doing, their blood is on our hands, because we failed to warn them.  
Even the apostle Paul said their blood would be on his hands, as an apostle/teacher, if he failed to give them all the counsel of God.  Acts 20:26-27
The primary work of a prophet is to deliver warnings from God to the church.
We warn the church so they can have an opportunity to turn themselves from a way that is not godly.
But often the church people fight against the prophet and it is difficult for the prophet to keep going unless he is very trained in turning to God and being restored by God after the church people fight against him.
This Podcast is filled with examples of churches fighting against prophets today, and also in the Bible.

Being transformed by the Word of God.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
I'm currently 82 years old.  I'm being transformed by doing Proverbs 1:10;15-16.  I'm excited to be working on this scripture for God is teaching me key things for me to do at this exact time, June, 2020.
For the past 40+ years God has given me scripture to follow at various times as I have needed them.
We often think we need one thing but God shows us exactly what we need.
Recently a woman wrote to me telling me many problems she was having.  She asked me if I could do a teaching on "forgiveness."  (I could do that.) But what God showed me is this woman needed to do the following scripture:
Philippians 4:6-7 ... so I sent that to her.
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.
If she keeps that scripture before her day and night ... doing what it says to do, in time all her other problems will straighten out.
On this podcast, I'm going to show you how God is restructuring my life right now as I do the following scripture:
Proverbs 1 
10  If sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
15 Walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

One step at a time. One step at a time. It is enough.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
On January 10, 1980, God spoke to me in the night while I was sleeping, to give me words of instruction as follows:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"
By these words, God put me on radio to exhort the church.
One of the offices given me for the church by Jesus is the office of a prophet.  (Eph. 4:11)
Prophets are sent to the church.  But God says in the Bible the church will not receive the prophets that HE sends to them.  Also the churches kill the prophets by stopping them from speaking to the church.
So God put me on radio to speak to the church.
The church ministers and congregations could not censor my broadcasts although when I spoke judgment messages, after being on radio for approximately 3 years, some of the radio stations, two of which were owned by Jimmy Swaggart, put me off the air.

They say they can't receive scripture because they have their own doctrine.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Many times I have presented scripture to those persons who say they are Christians, only to have them say to me, at our church, we have our own doctrine.
A Jewish woman said she believed in Jesus but they did not follow the Bible at their church because they have their own doctrine.
(How twisted:  You say you believe in Jesus, but you can't accept a doctrine that is in the Bible, because they have their own doctrine at their church group ... I've seen this many times with Catholics, Church of Christ, Non Denominational and other church goers.)
Jesus said:  Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Mark 7:9

Antichrist in the churches. What Paul and John tell us in Bible.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
For decades people in churches have speculated about, "Who is antichrist."
In the book, "War and Peace", Tolstoy reported that the Russian people thought Napoleon was the antichrist.  During the 1940's, some thought antichrist was Hitler.  In the 1960's some in USA speculated that the antichrist was John F. Kennedy.  In the 1970's, I heard my relatives say they thought antichrist was the Catholic Church.  In the late 1970's, at the church I attended, they spoke of antichrist being Henry Kissinger, the politician.
For the most part, churches have thought antichrist was one man.  And they thought he was a person in the governments of men.
In the Bible the apostle John explains that there were already "many" antichrists and they were in the churches of John's day.  (I Jn. 2:18-19)
The apostle Paul also identified these antichrist as being in the church and told how these men were just waiting for Paul to be gone from them when they would rise up in the church "speaking perverse things."  (Acts 20)
In the New Testament Bible, both apostles Paul and John, tell us there are "many" antichrist and they were in their church groups.
And Paul tells us before the return of Jesus it will get worse and worse in the churches and these churches will fall away from scripture, and this must happen in order for Jesus to return to for those who believe in HIM.

Homosexuals and lesbians: What God says in Bible.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
It doesn't matter what we think about homosexuals and lesbians.  We will be judged by what God says about this subject in the Bible.
II Corinthians 5
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him.10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
So what does God say in the Bible concerning homosexuals & lesbians?

Jesus says, in the last days, iniquity will abound. Mt. 24

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Iniquity is abounding today.  That is a main sign of the coming of Jesus and the coming of the wrath of God.  And because of the abounding iniquity the love of many will wax cold.  He that endures will be saved.  Mt. 24:12-13
What are you doing to endure?

Marriage, divorce, remarriage: What the Bible teaches.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
A divorced woman went to a pastor to see if she could remarry.  The pastor said, "My sister is divorced and remarried.  I don't see anything wrong with this."  So this divorced woman remarried.
Later this divorced/remarried woman saw what the Bible says about divorce and remarriage, and she was furious with that pastor who failed to tell her what the Bible says.

A battle for our spiritual life

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
On May 30, I was dealing with a scripture and I spent several minutes with that scripture, but by evening I wanted to avoid an evil and couldn't recall that scripture.  I was amazed at how fast that scripture had left me.  I couldn't even think of a key word in the 3 verses of that scripture.  So I returned to that scripture that night and got a "key word" into me concerning the subject.
The following morning, I thought about the troubling subject and immediate part of this scripture arose in my mind.  (Proverbs 1   "Their feet run to evil.")    That scripture had begun growing inside my heart!  But there are 3 verses in the concept and I knew I would need to spend more time on all the verses to really have this planted deeply in me so I could actually do these instructions in my life.
I need to alert us to this subject for I know we often deceive ourselves concerning scripture.
Here are specific, detailed examples of getting the word of God deeper in us so we can withstand the temptations and problems that would carry us away from the way of God in the matter at hand and bring destruction to us, to our souls.

God causes us to have an abundant life

Some think man is basically good. But what does God say in the Bible?

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
As I understand it, a humanitarian promotes the thinking that man is fundamentally good, that he just needs to be taught.  
I used to think that way before I was born again and read the Bible.
The Bible shows us the truth from God's view so we can come to agree with God's thinking on the issues at hand.
So what does God say in the Bible about man?

Taking thoughts captive. Dealing with destructive thoughts.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
It is not unusual for the devil to bring to our mind thoughts which are exactly opposite from those thoughts brought to us by the Holy Spirit.
The devil will torment us and pull us away from the Word from God, if possible.
We have to "fight" for the faith which is delivered to us by the Holy Spirit, showing us those things God has prepared for us.
Here are scriptures and examples:

Our flesh wants to glorify itself!

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Jesus made Himself of no reputation and even came to earth in the form of a human.  And because Jesus obeyed God, HE was given a name that is above all names.  (Philippians 2)
Before we are born again we want to have a big reputation and we even work to achieve such.
After we are born again, we begin learning to control ourselves and we learn not to allow our flesh to rule over us.
Every time we do the word of God we are recreated in the image of Christ.
It is a continual process as long as we live on this present earth.

Much harm can come to us by deceivers who say they are Christians but have not the Spirit

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
They come in pretense, often feigning humility, while inwardly they will eat you alive (if you let them) to get what they want.  Usually they want money from us.  
Sometimes they want to speculate and make themselves seem wise to themselves and others. 
When you speak the good word of God, they strike at you like a serpent, as they reveal themselves, and they grieve both you and the Holy Spirit.
Paul warns:   Titus 1:10-11   There are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:  Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Here are some other warnings in Bible about church people who are trying to gain entrance, but for evil motives.

In God we live and move and have our being

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Nothing makes me happier than hearing a word from God and following that word and then sharing that word with the church.
Truly it is in God we live and move and have our being!  Acts 17:28
We can look at television and occasionally find something we enjoy.  But most of the time I'm just switching channels.
But the word from God is life.  And by that word I have hope in the various circumstances of this life, and am comforted, and know what to do.

The Word from God is everything to the real Christian

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
By the Word of God that the Spirit of God gives us, we know the will of God in the issues of this present life.
The Spirit of God searches the heart of God to show us the will of God.  (I Corinthians 2:10-13)
I've had the "Word of God" brought in scripture, in dreams, and in concepts which were brought to my mind by the Spirit of God.  In each case, these were "the Word of God."  And they came to pass.  And I rejoiced in those words and followed those instructions.
It is not the letter of the law that we follow but the Spirit.
God gives each of HIS children HIS Spirit that we can know what God wants us to do as we live on this earth!

Every idle word that man shall speak shall man give account in the day of judgment, says Jesus

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.  (Mt. 12)
When our words line up with New Testament Bible by the Spirit of God, we will be justified.
We must renew our minds to the Word of God and speak those things which warn and edify the church.

Haven't we learned some things from the Coronavirus

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
We should see how quickly things can change all over this world.  
The Bible shows us that in the last days even a great city will be destroyed in one hour. 
Revelation 18 ...  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.  11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
The Bible also tells us not to trust in "uncertain riches" but in the living God.  (I Timothy 6)
And by the Bible, we will see the time men will cast both gold and silver into the streets as being worthless ... and they will try to hide themselves in caves because of the wrath of God that is coming upon this world.
And in Bible we are told we can use the things of this world but not abuse them.  I think many abuse credit to get things.  We need to learn to live within our means instead of glorifying ourselves in things of this world.
(On television, they showed, during the 2020 Coronavirus, long lines of cars waiting for food hand-outs.  As I looked, I was looking at the cars.  In those long lines, I never saw an old car.  All the cars were new and shiny.  If they are poor people in those new cars, they are poor because they over spent in getting things of this world before hitting the crisis of today.)
This 2020 virus was likely a surprise to see, but we who know Bible, were probably not caught totally unaware, because we see in the scriptures many things that will be coming upon this earth in the last days.
And because of Bible, we do not live in those lusts of this world as does this world.  God prepares us by that way HE teaches us to live by the scriptures which keep us from the lusts of the world which would destroy us.

Take heed to yourselves and to the doctrine, says Paul

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
First, do we go the extra mile in dealing with people?  Even when they treat us unfairly, do we treat them with good?  
Concerning the doctrine, do we live by the doctrines set forth for us by God in the New Testament?
Paul says if we pay attention to ourselves and the doctrine, "In doing this, we will save ourselves and those that hear us."  (I Timothy 4:16)

Counterfeit Christians

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Concerning the end times, Jesus warned us as follows:
Matthew 24
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.
(At the end, all things will be destroyed so don't take pride in that which you can see with you natural eyes.)
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", calling themselves Christians, and they will deceive many.)
Give them time to prove themselves.

God leading us

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Psalm 105:43;45  And HE brought forth HIS people with joy, and HIS chosen with gladness:
45 That they might observe HIS statutes, and keep HIS laws.
Each time God has moved me from one city to another during my lifetime, it has been with joy and gladness.
(Before HE moves me that city that was once alive to me often goes "dead" and the hope and expectation of good is in the new city.)
And when I find changes in "assignments" or jobs, the same has occurred.  God leads me with joy and gladness, not with fear and dread.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

When we need help, God provides the help we need

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
When situations of this life arrive, we should first turn to God in prayer to see what we should do.  
Then if we need help from another human, God will provide that person to help us.
I've found people are always in place to help when help is needed and when I know they are appointed by God for this purpose, I can praise God for the help provided.
Some people turn directly to humans when there is a need, but I like to turn first to God and discuss the matter with God.
This podcast shows God helping in time of need.

The current end-time message to the church before Jesus returns

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
We are living in the time Paul spoke of in II Thessalonians 2:3-4 where Paul said this had to happen before Jesus returns.
A falling away would first happen.  Churches would fall away from scripture to set up other doctrines.
Because of the removal of scripture, antichrist moved into the church groups.  The scripture was the only thing holding antichrist back.
We are witnessing the apostasy in the churches now as Paul said we would do in the last days before Jesus' return.

We turn to God from idols that we may be examples of the living Word by our actions

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
As soon as we recognize the religious idols, we turn to God from those idols to serve the "living and true" God, just as the believers did in the day of the apostle Paul.
Paul wrote of this in I Thessalonians 1:9  "How ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God".
In the Old Testament, they built a golden calf to be their god in the days of Aaron.  Moses ground that idol into dust and made the children of Israel drink it.
Jeroboam, king of Israel built 2 golden calves for the people of God to worship.
Today in the churches they set up ministers for the people to worship calling these men "Reverend", "Pope", and such ... and then they set up crosses of wood and stone for the people to bow down before. More idols.  
They set up many false doctrines in churches today.  
As soon as we see such, we also turn away from these idols of man and turn to God as the followers of Paul did.

Drive through "communion" services scheduled by some churches during Coronavirus

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
The Lord's supper is not the eating of cracker and drinking of grape juice as done in many churches today.
Crackers and grape juice do not connect us with God.   Such has no power.
It is that Word given by God that connects us with God and has power to change our lives and to lead us in the will of God.
The Word of God is the Lord's supper.
