Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... The apostle Paul tells us not to live as the pagans live.  When someone dies, Paul urges us to sorrow not as those persons who have no hope.  Instead believe in the resurrection of the dead in Christ.  And show that truth.   I Thess. 4:13-17   But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as ot...

Genesis 13   10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they (Abram & Lot) separated themselves the o...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... As we read the Holy Bible, we see God's view of the various subjects pertaining to this present life.   NT scriptures:  Homosexuals & Lesbians   Romans 1:26-28   For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... The word, "froward", in the Bible means: stubbornly unruly   If a person is stubbornly unruly, we must put him far from us, staying away from that person, knowing of his evil speaking.   We cannot take his evil words into our own heart.  For if we do, we will find his evil coming out of our own mouth at some point in time.   Words that go into our heart bear fruit...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Matthew 12:33-37   Jesus says:  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth go...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Jesus says:  My sheep hear MY voice.  And I know them.  And they follow ME.  (Jn. 10:27)   Jesus speaks to us, HIS elect, HIS children.  Jesus guides us as we walk on this earth so we can go in HIS way, following HIM doing that which HE says.   We learn to hear HIM when HE brings information to us.  We know HIS voice and a voice of a stranger we will not follow bu...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... It is important for each of us to know that assignment which God gives us as we live on this earth so we can go in HIS way set for us.     There are people and things that would pull us off that path if we allowed them to do so.   Proverbs 4:14-18   14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil. 15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it,...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... God knows future:    Often people go forward and things happen and they say, "If only that hadn't happened it would have worked."   Before making decisions, before going forward, ask God for HIS wisdom.  We have a promise from God that if we ask God for wisdom, HE will give us wisdom.   James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all l...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... If you went to several pastors to ask about remarriage after divorce, you would likely get several answers opposite to that which Bible says.   You could bring great harm upon yourself.   Why don't you just look this up for yourself in the New Testament Bible?   Mt. 5:32 Mk. 10:1-12 I Cor. 7:10-11; 39 Rom. 7:1-3   Top Podcast # 5:  Divorce/remarriage:  What the Bi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.   Psalms 34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.   Isaiah 45:7   God says:  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these t...

Proverbs 3   19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath HE established the heavens. 20 By HIS knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy w...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... As born again Christians, we have access to wisdom from God.  This makes all the difference for those of us who understand this and call on God for HIS wisdom in the issues of this present life.   Proverbs 3   13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... So many people want to be wise of themselves and have other people praise them for their wisdom.  Not only is this way very dangerous, but it can be deadly to us.   God knows the future.   If we try to plan out things without asking God, we can easily destroy ourselves with the unexpected.   Proverbs 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the en...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Things to consider as consequences of having an abortion: * You will be destroying a part of your own flesh, your own child.  By doing this you destroy not only your child but a part of your own self and you will never fully recover but will carry this the remainder of your life, for a part of you will have been destroyed. It is a memory you will not likely exting...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 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.   Everything depends on this:  "Was it God telling me to do this thing?"   How do you know it was God?   If it was God telling you to do this, you can go forward in confidence.   Joshua 1:9  God says:  Have not I commanded thee? B...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... If we have the Word of God on the subject, that is all we need!  We can go forward securely when we have heard from God.   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.   Proverbs 21:30-31   There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.  The horse is prep...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Kings 3:5-14  In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said,    Ask what I shall give thee. 6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee; and Thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that T...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Solomon was wisest of all men for God gave him HIS wisdom.  The book of Proverbs show us wisdom.   Proverbs 2   10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil, from the man that speaketh froward things; (froward: stubbor...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... The "fear of the Lord" is to choose the way of God over the way of men and even over your own preferences.   When we "fear God" we have an understanding that God knows all things and will lead us in the best way for us to go in the decisions pertaining to this present life.   And we know that if we go in a way opposite to the way of God we bring destruction upon o...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Most men and women will marry.  A few will not but have other roles set by God.   The apostle Peter married and had multiple children.  We see this by the Bible, for Peter said he was an "elder" in the church and one of the requirements for an elder was that he be married and have faithful children.   I Peter 5:1  Peter says:  The elders which are among you I exho...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Sometimes we are bringing problems upon ourselves.   I did this as a new Christian.  And I suffered more than I had to suffer until I recognized that I was causing the problem to come upon me.     (On this Podcast I will tell of this situation and how I got free.)   Psalm 107   4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 5...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... God says:  Turn you at MY reproof: behold, I will pour out MY spirit unto you, I will make known MY words unto you.  (Proverbs 1:23)   But they wouldn't do this.     So God says:   Proverbs 1:24-33    Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out MY hand, and no man regarded;  But ye have set at nought all MY counsel, and would none of MY reproof: 26...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... One day I was watching the evening news on TV, and I saw that the newscaster just couldn't wait to get to the next sensational story to stir up the flesh of man to evil.   Later I saw this scripture and set myself to do this scripture, avoiding the evil of the newscast and of other people who would stir me up to evil.   Proverbs 1   10   If sinners entice thee, co...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... To be born again, means God chose to reveal HIMSELF to you and to change you, giving you HIS Holy Spirit to lead you and to guide you.   Ephesians 1:13  In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,   After you are born again, the H...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Psalm 111:10  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.   What is "The fear of the Lord"?   When we "fear the Lord", we know that God knows all things, (present, past, and future).  We are afraid to go against that which God tells us,  for we know we bring destruction...
