Building your house on the word from God

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Concerning the great tribulation, one thing we know:  these events will be worse than anything seen by man before or since.   Matthew 24:21  Jesus says:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. The prophet Amos described the great tribulation as follows: Amos 5 19 Woe unto you th...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The apostle Paul warned us:  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (II Tim. 3) It is not like the peril of WWII, which was obvious to us.  We have another type of peril which could even cause a person to lose his own salvation. Jesus said: And take heed to yourselves,  (Lk. 21:34) Mt. 24:12-13   And because iniquity shall abound, the...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The apostle Paul speaks of "revelations" from God in the following scripture:   I Corinthians 14:26   How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. In a "revelation", God opens our eyes to see something. The first ti...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Unless God authors the work we do, that work will not be a good work though it might seem good to man.   Matthew 7 ... Jesus says:   21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy nam...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Are you playing around with temptation?   We must not do that.  It can be deadly. Proverbs 6 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... When the sun goes completely dark in the middle of the day ... we will know Jesus is on His way! The following will happen on this earth:  The powers of heavens shall be shaken.  Jesus describes it as follows: Matthew 24   29   Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall f...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... One day, the Holy Spirit said to me, "In the air." I recalled that is in a scripture.  When I looked it up I found it in the following: I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even s...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Each time we hear a word from God, believing that Word, doing that Word, examining ourselves by that Word, we partake of "The Lord's Supper." The Lord's supper has nothing to do with crackers and grape juice served by man at church. There is great power in eating and drinking the Word given by God. There is no power at all in eating and drinking crackers and gr...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... When we hear the Spirit of God as HE brings information to our mind, and we do that instruction, walking in the Spirit, we free ourselves from that which the flesh would have us to do.  For we can't go both ways.  If we obey the flesh, we deny the instruction of the Spirit.  And when we walk in the way of the Spirit, we keep the flesh crucified by the word of G...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... These scriptures in Bible tell us God lives in each person who belongs to HIM. *  I Corinthians 3:16-17  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. * I Corinthians 6:19-20   What? know ye not that your bod...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... To exhort means:  to urge earnestly by advise or warning. Hebrews 3:12-14   Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the begi...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Jesus said we must worship God in Spirit and in truth.  (Jn. 4) When things are being done contrary to the Bible, we cannot remain in that church group. For example: Jesus said:  whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.  (Mt. 5:32) Paul said the following is "a commandment of the Lord". I Corinthians 7:10-11   Let not the wife depart from...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The only safe thing to do is the following: 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. After you pray, how do you recognize the ideas that are from God? James 3:17   But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Before they hung Jesus on the cross, we read: Mark 15:23   And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but HE received it not. (myrrh: is used to combat pain)   Why wouldn't Jesus drink the wine mingled with myrrh?  It would have possibly deadened the pain of the cross.   As I wondered about this, I recalled that Jesus said something before HE was cruci...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... God changes us instantly when HE reveals HIMSELF to us.  We are indeed "a new creature".  Old things are passed away.  Things are not the same as they were before. II Corinthians 5 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Him...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The following scriptures fit together.  But often in churches they are not taught in a way whereby they fit together.  They end up negating one another.  This is perversion when that happens. Matthew 5:32  Jesus says:   But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Are you married to an unbeliever?  Perhaps you married and then were born again and your mate is not a believer?  What does the Bible say about this? I Corinthians 7 ... 12  But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13  And the woman which hath an husband...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Here is a situation where 3 forms of sin occurs in one marriage: Matthew 5:32   But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   *  the faithful wife who has been divorced will commit adultery upon remarriage   * ...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Jesus says:   Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.  (Mt. 5:32)   The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.   But does the unmarried woman commit adultery if she marries a divorced man?   In the thinking of this world, rules for men and women have to be the same.  But that is not the case in the way of God as presented in...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...  Jesus says:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.  (Mt. 5:32) A commandment of the Lord: I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... I am acquainted with a woman who is so intent on saying only that which is right in the sight of other humans that she renders herself totally void of godliness though she "religiously" attends a church. If we are of God, we uphold the Word of God which is often offensive to other people. Concerning homosexuals & lesbians: Romans 1:26-27   For this cause God ga...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...  Jesus said:  Concerning the last days ...  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. There is much more "iniquity" today than in the 1940's.  The increase is apparent when we compare movies of the earlier decades with movies of today. Iniquity abounds in the last days. P...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... When we read, "The LORD is my shepherd.  I shall not want?"  WHO is "The Lord"?   Jesus says:  "I am the way."  What does that mean? To me, Jesus is not the image of a man, though Jesus did come to this earth in the flesh and was here for a short period of time as a man.  But I don't think of "The Lord" as a human figure. What is "The Lord" to you.  How do you...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Jesus says:  Revelation 3:5   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 my Father, and before his angels. As long as we live on this earth, after we are born again, it is a matter of walking in the Spirit of God, the way of God shown us by the Holy...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... During the last days, many will grow cold.  They are like dead men walking.  And they do not realize they are asleep to the happenings around them.  They grow cold to the Word of God and become numbed by that which they choose to see and hear. Recently a woman in our church group tried to follow a scripture by her own wisdom rather than turning to God.  This is...
