Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... As we read the New Testament Bible, we see the Word of God which shows us how we, who belong to God, are to live on this present earth.   I John 3:24   And he that keepeth HIS commandments dwelleth in HIM, and HE in him. And hereby we know that HE abideth in us, by the Spirit which HE hath given us.   When we belong to God, HE gives us HIS Holy Spirit to live in u...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When we allow ourselves to be led by money we often go in the wrong direction and even bring harm upon ourselves and our families.   Paul teaches us and warns us:   I Tim. 6:5-19  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, (who are) supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great...

Numbers 33   50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quit...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... I Corinthians 15:51-52   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   When Jesus returns, some of the elect of God will still be alive on this present earth.   F...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When we are born again by the Spirit of God, we then have the Holy Spirit living in us to lead us and guide us and to show us the way we are to go in the specific issues of this present life that we may go in the will of God for us in this life.  (Jn. 14:26;  Jn. 16:13;  I Cor. 2)   God leads us by HIS Spirit.  God gives us information as we need help.  God shows...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Matthew 16:5-7  And when HIS disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.   11  Jesus says:  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to y...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Romans 12:1-2   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.   We who belie...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Are we drawing nearer to the return of Jesus, "the day of the Lord"?   Do we see increased wickedness in this world today?  Do we see churches fall away from scripture and set up other doctrines which makes them "antichrist", the apostate church of the end times?   (Every church I've tried to attend since 1980, has omitted teachings on divorce & remarriage, and ho...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Unless you are born of God's Spirit, changed by God into a new creature, you cannot see things of God.   I Cor. 2:14  The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.   Jesus says:  Jn. 3:3   Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Go...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... God is our teacher.  By HIS Spirit we are taught all things of God.   II Timothy 1:12-14   For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that HE is able to keep that which I have committed unto HIM against that day. 13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me,...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 2 Timothy 4:2-4  The apostle Paul says:  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, an...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When a problem comes, those persons who ask God what to do will overcome on this earth.   Those people who try to ignore the problem, or who run to other people, telling others their problems, will not overcome on this earth.   When we have a problem or a concern, what are we as Christians supposed to do?   Philippians 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thi...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... After we are born again, the Holy Spirit will remind us of things of God, and as we speak those things we are witnesses to Jesus.   Many times, throughout the years of our lives, the Holy Spirit reminds us of things and that is when the power of God is there.   Jesus says:   Acts 1:8   But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... After we are born again by the Spirit of God, God puts HIS laws for the New Testament church directly into our hearts and minds.   Hebrews 8:10-11 God says: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they sh...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Many churches today are teaching doctrines that are traditions of men instead of the commandments of God from the New Testament Bible.    This is antichrist in the end time church.  This is the apostasy that Paul said had to come before Jesus returns.   II Thess. 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling a...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Do you hear the voice of Jesus?  Are you aware of the Holy Spirit of Jesus bringing thoughts to your mind to help you and to guide you in the way of God?   Are you born again?  If you are born again you do have the Spirit of God in you.     I Cor. 3:16   Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?     Jesus says:   John 1...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When the sins of this world and the sins of the churches around us increase, it signals the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of this present world.   As the sins in the days of Noah brought the destruction of this world by God, and the open sins of the men of Sodom in the days of Lot, signaled the destruction of Sodom, the rampant and blatant...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Concerning compromise, never do we who are of God compromise scripture.   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, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When we are born again, changed by God, we are very different from the way we had been before.  Often we no longer enjoy the people or things we once enjoyed.  Usually we want to read the Bible and go to church to hear about God.   Now we seek God and His righteousness, what is right in the sight of God.   And this is our interest as long as God chooses to leave u...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Do you have the Spirit of God in you?  Are you born again?  Has God changed you?  Born again means God has changed you.  Has that happened to you.  Have you been made by God to be different from the person you once were?  This is what it means to be born again.    If you are born again, you have the Spirit of God, for you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of God whe...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Being born again means, we are changed instantly by God.     A young man told me he walked out on his back porch and "something happened."   A woman, who was a long time drunk, said one day "something happened" and she had a great desire to read the Bible after that happened.  She told her husband she was going to quit drinking.  He didn't believe her because he'd...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... When we are watching television, often we will hear someone say something that we know to be opposite to the Word of God as stated by God in the Holy Bible.   It is very important for us to renew our mind to the Bible.   Recently I heard a very famous man say, "All die.  No one escapes death."   Because of the Bible, I know that statement is not true.   Immediatel...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... Before we do anything, we must evaluate:  Did God tell me to do this?   As a new Christian, I owned a small business in Dallas, Texas.  A young woman filed a charge against me in US Courts.     I heard:  "Don't testify."   I believed it was God telling me this word.  Since I believed that, I told my lawyer I would not be testifying.     A woman who worked for me w...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  After we are born again by the Spirit of God, God seals us with HIS Spirit, and HIS Holy Spirit lives in us to show us the will of God as we continue in this present life.   Eph. 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, J...

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  God brings the Word to us by HIS Spirit but sometimes that Word is stolen by the devil.  We can stop that from happening.   Jesus teaches:   Mark 4   And HE (Jesus) began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto HIM a great multitude, so that HE entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And H...
