Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  II Chronicles 26   1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jec...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... If you have a problem and don't know what to do, ask God.  His answer might surprise you!   James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.   I know there are many times God just puts something into my heart and leads me.   Psalm 37:4-5  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... It is so good to remember those things God has done.  Remember what God did for HIS people in Egypt and in the wilderness when God led them out from their enemies.   But it is equally important for each of us to remember what God has done in our own lives and to share that with others also.   Psalm 126:3  The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God had set up HIS judges to rule over HIS people, but the time came when the people demanded that they have a king to rule.  God gave them kings but HE had the prophet Samuel protest.  Still they wanted a king.   God first gave them Saul to reign.  But Saul would not fully obey God so the kingdom was removed from Saul and given to David who was a man after God's...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Jehu was anointed by God as a servant of God to bring about the destruction of Ahab's house and Jehu also destroyed the followers of the false god Baal.   II Kings 10   17 And when he (Jehu) came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah. 18 And Jehu gathere...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  When God anointed Jehu king of Israel, God also put the following commandment over Jehu.   II Kings 9  (God says to Jehu)   7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of MY servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut o...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God has HIS instruments of destruction whereby HE eliminates HIS enemies according to HIS will.   The Bible shows us examples of such:   * God puts a lying spirit in the mouth of all the prophets of evil king Ahab to lead Ahab to destruction:   I Kings 22   And he (the prophet Micaiah) said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Jesus said:   John 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear (from God), I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.   💥💥💥   A man can no nothing except that which he hears from God.   As servants appointed by Jesus for the New Testament church, we simply hear from God and speak th...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah.  And this Elisha received from God.  Elisha did many works of God while he was on this earth.   Elisha picks up the mantle of Elijah and puts it on himself and begins the ministry given to him by God.   II Kings 2   9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  James 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.   Daniel 2:20  Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are HIS:   II Corinthians 1:12  For our rejoicing is this, the testimony...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Jehoshaphat did that which was right in the sight of God, but his son, Jehoram did not do that which was right in the sight of God.  His wife was the daughter of evil king of Israel, Ahab.   When we see the name "Ahab" associated with someone, we can look for evil.  For Ahab and his wife Jezebel excelled in evil works and God had proclaimed that Ahab's descendant...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God sent Elijah the prophet to call Elisha to the work of a prophet.   I Kings 19   15 And the LORD said unto him (to Elijah), Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt tho...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Malachi 4:5-6  Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.   Jesus shows this Elijah the prophet was John the Baptist who came as a prophet of God:  ...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Prophets of God are always sent to the people of God, not to the world.   God said to Ezekiel:     Ezekiel 3   And HE (God) said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them. 5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 6 Not to many people of a strang...

And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  But Jehoshaphat joined Ahab in battle:   II Chronicles 19 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. (James 4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity wi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Kings 21:23  And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.   II Kings 9:37  And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Kings 22   1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. 2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel (to Ahab). 3 And the king of Israel (Ahab) said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syr...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Kings 19   1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. 3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came t...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Kings 16   28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  I Kings 13   1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the pries...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Many of the kings of Judah and Israel did evil in the sight of God but Asa is one example of a king who pleased God, doing good in the sight of God.   II Chronicles 14   2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: 3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the gr...
