Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... The judges in the Old Testament who were raised up by God, administered justice in the sight of God, destroying the enemies of the children of God of the nation of Israel, and delivering the children of Israel from various bondages.   In the Bible, the book of Judges tells us of the work of those judges appointed by God.   We see many Judges named in the book of J...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... In the days of the Old Testament, for a season, God raised up HIS judges and gave the judges HIS Spirit to lead the children of Israel.   Later the people demanded a king like the other nations had to rule over them.   But for a period of time God appointed judges.   💥💥💥   Judges 3  (Othniel)   5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites,...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Please read these written scriptures before you hear this podcast for these scriptures set the foundation for the recording on this podcast.     God led the children of Israel for 40 years through the wilderness.  God provided all their needs.  There was no lack.   Exodus 15:13   Thou in THY mercy hast led forth the people which THOU hast redeemed: THOU hast guide...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... I Corinthians 14  (The apostle Paul said)     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.   💥💥💥   After I was born again...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Judges 3   5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: 6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Genesis 6:5   And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The minute man touches something, he pollutes it with his own flesh.   Therefore in the Old Testament, God would not allow them to bring "hewn" stones into the tabernacle.   Exodus 20:26   God says:  And if...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... The children of Israel passed over river Jordan and fought the nations and took the land which God had promised to Abraham 400-years earlier.   Joshua grew old and died after he had divided the land and had given that land to the 12 tribes of the children of Israel.   The people began living on their inheritance.   But when they failed to drive out the nations aro...

Joshua 21   43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which HE sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that HE sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 There faile...

Hebrews 3   12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it i...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Being overcome by this world is a terrible thing.  It should not happen since God is our Father and is leading and guiding us.  God is greater than all and we are HIS children.   Revelation 3:5  Jesus says:  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before m...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Joshua 14   (Caleb speaking to Joshua)   5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. 6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. 7 Forty year...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  The word "race" is not in the Bible.  Nor is the word "racism" in the Bible.   I asked God about this and I heard:  "Jews and Gentiles"   (And we know from the Bible that the Jews, the children of Israel, were the chosen people of God, but God made a way for the Gentiles to be come to God through faith.)   Racism is basically hatred of individuals who are of othe...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  When we are watching TV or a person brings to us a concept which conflicts with what we know to be in the Bible, we should reinforce the Bible in our heart and mind by returning to the subject and reading again what the Bible says.   The apostle Paul reminds to build ourselves up in the ways of God as follows:   Romans 12:2   And be not conformed to this world: b...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God sees the heart.  God knows exactly what the person is doing.  God certainly sees things about the human that we do not see.   Most humans try to look "good" to others.  So by their outward appearance and even the things they say in public, they try to present themselves as being "good" people.   God knows what they really are and sometimes God will "turn them...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Before the armies of the children of Israel went into Jericho to possess the land given them by God, Joshua gave specific instruction from God as follows:   Joshua 6:18  And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.   40,000 men...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Joshua 6   1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 4 And sev...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Joshua 2   1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country. 3 And the king of Jer...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Joshua 4   22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which HE dried up from before us, until we were gone over: 24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LO...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... After the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus gave ministers to the New Testament church.   We read about this in Ephesians 4.   7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore HE saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Joshua 3   5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you. 6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. 7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify th...

Joshua 1   1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses MY servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot s...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When we understand God choose us and saved us without our being worthy of salvation, we are grateful to God.   But many church goers are not born again and they put themselves into the church group "by their own will."  When that happens they think by their own will power they chose God and they reason since they chose God other people can do the same.  They don't...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... After God reveals HIMSELF to us, we are born again and changed into a new creation.  God gives us another spirit to live in us.  We now have the Holy Spirit who leads us in the way of God as we live on this earth.    Usually we then want to read the Bible.  We want to be with other people of God.  We want to learn things of God.  We want to talk about God. We are...
