Building your house on the word from God

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... One of the most important things for each of us is to live in peace continually.  For when Jesus returns for the church it is very important that we be found by Him at that time living in peace, without spot, and blameless.   II Peter 3:12-14    Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Each of us have thoughts where we could feel sorrowful or complain.  We also have things for which we can be thankful.  If we learn to deliberately choose to think on those things for which we are thankful, we can turn our lives around. Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Shortly after I was born again, I had a very big test to see if I would do what God told me to do.  I owned a small business.  A woman filed a court charge against me.  I had brought to my mind these words, "Don't testify."  I believed this instruction was from God. At that time, I didn't even know the Holy Spirit leads us and guides us and teaches us in things...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... When God purposes something in our lives, HE makes a way for that to come to pass.   Isaiah 55 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, an...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... God has placed each of HIS people in a role on this present earth with an "assignment" to do.  How do we know our assignment?  It is simple.  Our assignment is where we are right now. * A husband and father ... a wife and mother ... a businessman ... a teacher... a mechanic ... a waitress.   We begin where we are. Our goal in our assignment:  To serve God in al...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... They call themselves Christians, but they do that which is right in their own eyes, in their own way of thinking.  They do not call on God for HIS wisdom in the specific issues at hand. They are life a leaf blowing in the wind.  They go one way then the opposite way without any thought at all. They do not seem to have faith that God will communicate HIS will to...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... We should be exactly the same as Jesus.  We should understand that of our own selves we can do nothing.  We hear from God the Father through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us and we learn to follow THAT Word. John 14:26   But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... A woman in our church group stored up things against me in her own heart.  She did this over a period of years.  And finally she let herself go and struck against me.  By this, the devil destroyed her.  And there was nothing I could do to bring her back. It is so easy to deal with destructive thoughts and keep ourselves through God. Devils will try to get you t...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... As we keep a scripture before us day and night, we find eventually we have a power in us which enables us to follow that scripture.   In the Bible is it described as follows: Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: f...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... In 1980, I was in France.  As I listened to the people walking past me, it was so lovely and peaceful.  Then I realized:  "It is peaceful to me because I can't understand what they are saying!" One day, we come to this understanding: II Peter 3:13  Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. W...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... If we are born of the Spirit of God, we are taught by God.  Most people in churches today are not taught by God.  They put themselves into the churches by going forward and being baptized without having the Spirit of God ... or they joined the church by the will of man. John 6    Jesus said: 44  No man can come to ME (The Word), except the Father which hath sen...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The Holy Spirit of God lives in each believer to show that believer the will of God in dealing with the issues of this present life.  (I Cor. 2) James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. The Holy Spirit teaches us all things, reminds us of that which Jesus has said...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The Holy Spirit of God, who dwells in each believer, teaches us all things, reminds us of all Jesus has said to us, guides us into all truth, shows us that which is to come.  (John 14:26 & John 16:13) These are incredibly powerful weapons which this world does not have. We, who have the Holy Spirit of God in us, should not go down with this world nor with those...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... In the Old Testament God gave the Holy Spirit to the prophets.  But the people had to come to a prophet to hear the will of God. In the New Testament all who belong to God are given the Holy Spirit of God to teach them all things, to remind them of that which Jesus has said, to guide them into all truth, and to show them things to come.  (John 14:26 & John 16:1...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... After God reveals Jesus to us by HIS Word, God seals each believer with the Holy Spirit of Jesus, and Jesus the Word, by HIS Spirit, lives in that believer. From that point forward the believer has the Holy Spirit of God in him to teach him and to guide him and to show him things to come as God wills. Scriptures showing us that Jesus Christ is in us when we are...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... All people know there was a man who walked on this earth and his name was Jesus.   But few know that Jesus lives inside the believer today by HIS Spirit ... and the Spirit of Jesus brings scripture and concepts to the mind of the believer to teach him, to guide him, to show him things to come.   Few people, even those people in churches, believe that Jesus has...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... People today speak of "The Lord" and "Jesus"  but both are "THE WORD."  When we say, "The Lord is my shepherd," we are really saying "THE WORD is my shepherd."  For everything is THE WORD. THE WORD was with God in the beginning.  At the appointed time, THE WORD came to earth in the form of the flesh of a man named Jesus, and dwelt for an appointed time.  Then T...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... If we put ourselves with church people who will not follow scripture, they will greatly vex us with their words and deeds.  You are constantly forgiving these persons.   But according to scripture, what you should do is leave them alone and do not hear what they say when they will not follow the doctrines of Christ and they go another way. II John 8 Look to you...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... In 1975, shortly after I was born again, I went to a business where I could make copies of papers.   A little old man came up to me and said, "Little lady.  You didn't park behind that green and gold car did you?"   "No sir," I replied.   Then he said to me, "That's a Baylor car."  (Baylor is a Baptist University in Texas.)   Then he asked, "You don't happen to...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... We cannot pursue fame, money and reputation among men and serve God.  The only way we can be a servant of God is to do that which God tells us to do which is opposite to the way of this world. But our flesh wants fame, money and reputation. So there is a battle. How do we overcome our own flesh? This is the story of this Podcast. ( Click here for podcast and to...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... The Holy Spirit of God gives us an idea or a scripture to follow.  When we learn to recognize God speaking to us, we have such a strong advantage in going forward and it can set everything up for us in a way that puts us above this world in the various crises of this world. In this Podcast, step by step illustrations are given concerning hearing from God and fo...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... II Corinthians 5 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;  ( Click here for podcas...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... If we are a Christian and we are around those who say they are Christians but they do not rejoice in the revelations we share that are from God, we are yoking ourselves to a person who is really not of the Spirit of God. Our relationship with that other person is "one sided", with us doing all the talking while that person sits silently, trying not to show his...

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.   friend:  one who gives aid and support to (We cannot support the ways of this world.)   ( Click here for podcast and to see scriptures )
