Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I'm so happy with my life. God has worked old age out so well for me. (I'm 84.)  One of the greatest things is I'm not alone and God fixed it so I live with a truly godly person.   If we disagree (which is rare) God changes one of us so we agree. It is not that we pray together in same room. But I know we both pray in our own separate rooms when there is a proble...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  This is a promise of God to us, the church.   Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).   Do you believe this?  or not?   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog 

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  (Joan Boney)   On August 5, 1975, I was reading a book about sin when God spoke to me and said:   "Joan ... you know all these mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."   "Sins?" I gasped!  I thought they were mistakes.   With that word, God revealed HIS truth to me and caused me to be born again, giving me HIS Holy...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  We, as Christians, trust in God.   The people of this world often trust in men and in governments of men.   The world frets over gas prices and over the prices of food and over shortages.   But we know this truth from God.   Philippians 4:19  (The apostle Paul says:)  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   How? ...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God will give us new bodies before we are taken into heaven:   1 Corinthians 15   48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Humans usually share that which they have done so other humans will respect and admire them in their works.   But we, who are of God, share that which God has done for us, thereby giving glory to God and even suffering shame for the sake of God as Jesus did.   Each time we share what God has told us or what God has done for us, we give glory to God.   💥💥💥   Je...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  When we understand this, it is much easier to live in peace. John 18:36  Jesus answered, 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.   This world will be destroyed by God at the end.   2 Peter 3   10  But the day of the Lord will...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  The Holy Spirit said:   " The body without the spirit is dead ..."  This is a scripture:  James 2:26   This shows us that when a person dies, the spirit leaves that body at the moment of death!   Where does the spirit of the person who believes in Jesus go?     We know from the Bible death is described as "falling asleep". (John 11 & I Thessalonians 4:14)   And w...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Death is like falling asleep.  When we awake we don't know how all that time could have passed while we slept.   This is the way the Bible describes death:  Falling asleep in Jesus.  "They who sleep in Jesus."   Those family and friends who survive are the ones who need help, and if they can believe in that which God says in the Bible concerning death (falling as...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  "God ... help me!"  we cry out! For only through God can we receive lasting help and comfort through Jesus.   💥💥💥   It is critical for each of us to remember that dead child is sleeping in Christ.  And that child has everything needed and no more pain or sorrow or trouble!   We are the ones who need help!  And our help comes from God as we cry out to God.   Ea...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Jesus was crucified and HIS body was wrapped in clean linen and HE was placed in a tomb with a large rock sealing the entrance to the tomb.   Several women came to the tomb to bring good smelling spices to place on the dead body of Jesus.   Here is what happened:   Luke 24   1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepul...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Are you angry over what happened?  Certainly you have a "right" to be angry.  But you will be far better off to go another way.   God will judge with perfect judgment.   Can you trust God to judge and would you be willing to turn judgment over to God?   💥💥💥   When I saw the tape which was played on CNN where the armed policemen stood in that school hallway doi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  2 Timothy 3  (Concerning the end times)   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...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Mark 12   18 Then come unto HIM the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked HIM, saying, 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dyin...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  All my life, I have enjoyed history.   Recently, I saw a 3 part TV series concerning The American Revolutionary War.  Also recently I saw the Mel Gibson movie, "The Patriot", concerning this war.   As I watched the events of this war, I was reminded (by God) of the word, "sedition."   And I thought, "Wasn't sedition listed in the works of the flesh?"   I checked ...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Here is a promise of God to the elect of God, to those people who belong to HIM.   Isaiah 45:2  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:   (There are promises of God in the Old Testament which are valid for us today in NT Church.)   It is a great comfort to us to kn...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  From heaven, after the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus appoints ministers to work in the New Testament churches.   Ephesians 4   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...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  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. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.   💥💥💥   To me, "The fear of the Lord" is a very deep understanding that God knows what is best so when HE tells me something I should be afraid not to do what HE says.   And we are shown that God gives a good understanding...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Jesus says:   23  And HE said to them all, If any man will come after ME , let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow ME. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for MY sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  When I was a new Christian in 1975, I owned a small business in Dallas, Texas in American Indian Arts.   At that time the Dallas Morning News asked me to write an article concerning the purchase of Indian Arts and how the customer could be certain the item they were purchasing was genuine.   I did write the article.   A few weeks later, a man filed a law suit aga...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  There is a spiritual gift of faith.   I Corinthians 12   4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward HIS name (The Word) in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.   💥💥💥   All who share HIS Word by the Spirit of God with others will be rewarded by God.   To share by the Spirit of God means to share that word brought to your mind by the Holy Spirit wi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Matthew 24   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....

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Matthew 16   13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked HIS disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that THOU art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU art the Ch...
