Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Some people try to live in peace by telling themselves lies.  This has always troubled me.   "Peace at any cost is not peace."   Speaking well of an evil doer only causes you to live in deception and become a liar.   2 John vv. 8-11   8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.   9 Whosoever tran...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Recently we had some work done on our car and the man said the car would be ready on Friday or Saturday.    It was not ready on Friday ... neither was it ready on Saturday ... They are closed on Sunday ... and the man who was assigned to do the work is not there on Mondays ... so it would be at least Tuesday before we would get the car back.   In situations lik...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Recently I encouraged people to share things God has said to them.   Hebrews 3:13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.   We exhort the church by sharing those things GOD has spoken to us. Or by telling the way God helped us.   💥💥💥     Hebrews 10   23 Let us hold fast the profe...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    💥 First we share God:  Share the words God has brought to you.  Share what God has done for you.  This edifies the church and honors God and shows God to the church.   As a new Christian, God worked with me as I read the Bible showing me certain scriptures and showing me the meaning of these and how they applied to me.   Matthew 16   15 When Jesus came into th...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The apostle Paul told us to "work out our own salvation in fear and trembling. " (Philippians 2:12)   The apostle Peter said as we wait for the coming of Jesus work that when Jesus returns to gather the elect of God HE will find us "in peace, without spot, and blameless."  (2 Peter 3:14)   Jesus tells us to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  ...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Colossians 3   1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.   2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.   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.   5 Mort...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Nehemiah 8:10   Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.   Philemon v. 6     That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing w...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    James 1   16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.   17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with WHOM is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.   18 Of HIS own will begat HE us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of HIS creatures.   19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let ev...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Hebrews 3   13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.   (exhort: urge earnestly by advice and warning)   14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;   💥💥💥   Hebrews 10   23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    God taught me to hear HIM by HIS HOLY Spirit and to do what the Word said to do by believing it was God speaking to me when it was God.  The voice of God is different.  I have found it to be pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, just as it says in James 3:16.   But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intr...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Matthew 10  Jesus said:   34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.   35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.   36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.   37 He that loveth father or mother...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Matthew 10   26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.   27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.   28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear HIM which is...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    I was given the following dream, I think maybe in the 60's:  "Cuba is not the problem.  Mexico is the problem."   💥💥💥   A few days ago, I heard someone on TV speaking of "Happy New Year".   What is coming?  God knows.  How can man wish "Happy New Year" to another human? I wondered.  And man has no power to do this!  Yet he readily does this!  How can that be...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    I needed help with my sound system and I called a man who is a dealer for Tara Labs.   Immediately he jumped in and began trying to help, and he did help without gobbling me up for personal riches.     I don't believe the man is a Christian or that he knows God ... yet!  But I believe he will.   He reminded me of another man who tried to help ... and wasn't fil...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    When I share what God has done in my life, you have an opportunity to see God by HIS Works.   Matthew 5:6   Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.   (God might open our eyes!)  Sometimes I read the same scripture many times and then all of a sudden God opens my eyes to see something!   I've found one little gr...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    In all issues of this life, we must determine what does God want me to do, what is right in the sight of God.   We pray asking God what HE wants us to do.  Asking God for HIS wisdom.   And we have a promise of God that HE will give us HIS wisdom if we ask HIM.   James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbr...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The Bible shows us death is like being asleep.   John 11   1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.   2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)   3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lov...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Isaiah 45:2  God says:   I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:   💥💥💥   When a problem comes into our lives, it often seems impossible to do.  We may wrestle with it and then we remember to pray asking God for help ... and God causes us to see what to do and...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    This past week, I had such a thing happen where I knew God had supplied an answer to a recent prayer.   I had prayed saying to God, "I need someone to help with my sound equipment!"    Pam had contacted a man who seemed to know something about sound equipment and made an appointment for him to come to check my units.   When he arrived, I knew immediately he did...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    As a new Christian in 1975, I was in a neighborhood prayer group.     At one point we were praying over something, and I had my head bowed and my eyes closed, and I heard, "Look up."     When I looked up, I saw on a blank wall, the outline of a body part.  It was if someone had taken  marks-a-lot felt tip black pen and drawn this on the wall.   I said to God, "...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Acts 10   1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,   2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.   3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Corne...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Does God use dreams to lead HIS people today?  Do we have examples of dreams used by God to lead disciples who have the Holy Spirit to lead them?   We know by the Bible that God led HIS chosen by dreams.  We see many examples.  But in the New Testament church each individual has the HOLY Spirit in him to lead him and to guide him.   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The Bible says:   I Corinthians 7     1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.   2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.   3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.   4 The wi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    2 Thessalonians 2   3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   In 1982...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The apostle Paul warns the elders of the church at Ephesus:   Acts 20  (Paul travels to Ephesus and speaks to the elders of the church at Ephesus)   17 And from Miletus he (Paul) sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.   18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I hav...
