    Tradition of men renders the word of God void, says Jesus

    (This podcast was previously published on April 25, 2021)   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 Thessalonians 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   "The falling away" are churches falling away from scripture.  When this happens the door is open for antichrist to come into the church and set up doctrines of men, departing from scripture which is the doctrine of Christ for the church.   For example:  The Catholic church teaches their followers to pray to Mary.  This is their "tradition" set up by men and not by God.   Jesus says:  John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.   In the New Testament Bible, we are taught to pray directly to God through Jesus Christ.   Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   Mary is dead.  She is sleeping.  She cannot hear you or watch over you.  No dead person can do these things.  Dead people are asleep.   Jesus shows us that dead people are "asleep".   John 11:11-14  These things said HE (Jesus): and after that HE saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.   12 Then said His disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.   13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.   14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.   Some church people in both Catholic and Protestant churches think dead people watch over them.   The Bible shows us that dead people are asleep.   I Thessalonians 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 others which have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead).   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   God watches over us.  Dead people are sleeping until Jesus returns.   In churches today, there are many traditions of men which are opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Holy Bible.   *****   The protestant churches usually call crackers and grape juice, "The Lord's Supper."    But we commune with God through prayer and through the Bible which is the Word of God.   As we partake of scripture correctly and apply scripture to our lives, we "eat and drink" the flesh of Jesus and the blood of Jesus.  This is "The Lord's Supper."   Therefore those who wrongly apply scripture, "eat and drink" damnation to themselves.   I Corinthians 11   27  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.   28 But let a man examine himself (as he reads Bible), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.   29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.   30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.   31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.   ***   Matthew 15   1-2 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,  Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.   3 But HE answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?   4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.   5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;   6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.   Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.   7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,   8 This people draweth nigh unto ME with their mouth, and honoureth ME with their lips; but their heart is far from ME.   9 But in vain they do worship ME, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.   ***   In February, 2021, a pastor of a Baptist church in Georgia (USA), announced to the world news media that homosexuals and lesbians were welcome to come to their church.   This is shockingly against the Bible.   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 is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.   28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   When I read this on CNN International, I thought of how close we must be getting to the return of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of this world!   For when the churches fall away from scripture this way, we draw much closer to the end.   The Southern Baptist Convention removed that Baptist church in Georgia from their association of approved churches.  They said they were removed because they went against the "tradition" of the Baptist church.  (They did not mention any scripture at all, just "tradition.")   Even the Southern Baptist Convention pulled away from citing scripture.  (antichrist and the end times)   In The Bible, we read the following concerning homosexuals and lesbians:   Romans 1:26-28   26 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 is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.   28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   When we, who are of God, give a reason for doing something, it should be because of a scripture in the Bible and we should present that scripture for all to see.   ***   But to be approved by man, many omit Bible.   The Bible, the scriptures, are the only thing keeping antichrist back.   2 Thessalonians 2:7-8  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only HE who now letteth will let, until HE be taken out of the way.   When Jesus, THE WORD, the Holy Scriptures, are removed, then antichrist moves into the church.   8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:   The apostle Paul said antichrist was already there in the churches, among the elders even, just waiting until Paul was out of the way so he could move in and speak perverse things to the church.   Acts 20:29-30  Paul says to the elders of the church at Ephesus:  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.   The apostle John also told us there were "many" antichrists in his day coming into their church.  They came into their church, in John's time, and stayed there until they saw they could not take over and speak their perverse doctrines, and then they left.   I John 2:18-19  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.   Many denominations came as a result of those who did not want to follow sound doctrines in the church groups.   These denominations set up their own doctrines and left the doctrines of Christ.  They set up their own churches by their own fleshly preferences.   Some churches even use some scripture for a time, only to "fall away" from that instruction and set up other teachings by their own thinking to please men.   It seems unreasonable to say:   *  whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.  (The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery)   Words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 5:32   *  Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.  (I Corinthians 7:10-11 ... a commandment of the Lord says Paul)   *  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be d

    Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved

    (This podcast was previously published on April 28, 2021)   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 thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (The Word).   Acts 2:19-21   God says:   19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:   20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:   21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.   ***   When these things happen, some will run into their house to be safe.  Others will run to friends.  Some will try to forget that which is happening by watching TV or reading a book.   Those who stop and fall down before God, doing nothing but depending totally on God, will be saved.   It is the same with the problems we encounter daily.   We can try to forget that problem by soaking ourselves in TV.  But those who cease all their efforts and fall down before God in prayer, committing their fears and concerns to God, and waiting on God, will be saved from the problem.   A woman told me of the following dream:  She and her husband were going out to buy a TV.  She was at the car waiting for him when all of a sudden the sun turned totally dark!  She started to run back into their house.  But then she realized that wouldn't do any good. She just fell down on her knees.   In the mid-80's, I had the following dream: The earth slipped on it's axis.  People were terrified.  The government was meeting with scientists and religious leaders to see what could be done.  (Nothing can be done by men for this was of God.)  A TV newscaster was trying to give a report about the event, but he was so frightened that he just stopped talking and walked out of the studio in the middle of the broadcast.   Isaiah 13:13  God says:  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.   *****   Recently thoughts began coming to me telling me I would not be saved.   But I remembered two scriptures to the contrary.   Mark 10   28 Then Peter began to say unto HIM (Jesus), Lo, we have left all, and have followed Thee.   29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for MY sake, and the gospel's,   30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.   John 10  Jesus said:   27 MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME:   28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand.   29 MY Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.   I said to Jesus:  "You told me I would inherit eternal life."  Mark 10  That is what will happen.  And You told me "I would never perish."  John 10  That is what will happen.   And as I was asking God to help me, I heard:  "You're being attacked by a devil."   I did not talk to devil.  I did not even address that devil.  I just kept talking to Jesus and stating what HE had told me in Mark 10 and John 10 and kept asking God to help me.   And I believed those words of Jesus.   ***   Those persons who run to other people with their problems or try to forget their problems through TV and such, will not overcome.   Those who turn to God for help and cling to HIS Word and to HIM will be helped and saved and will overcome on this earth.   💥💥💥💥💥    * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Things showing us how close we are to the return of Jesus

    (This podcast was previously published on April 23, 2021)   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 sins of today show us how close we are coming to the end of this world.   Jesus says:   Matthew 24   35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.   36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.   37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.   38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,   39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.   ***   Luke 21   7 And they asked HIM, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?   8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.   9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.   10 Then said HE unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:   11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.   (pestilences:  Have we ever seen anything before like Coronavirus?)   25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;   26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.   27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.   28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.   ***   According to Matthew 24, the following will happen:      * The great tribulation    * The powers of heaven will be shaken    * Jesus comes through the clouds and send HIS angels to gather the elect.   Matthew 24  Jesus says:   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 fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:   30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   *****   Jesus said:   Luke 21   29 And HE spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.   When we see signs such as:  volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, stars or meteors fall from the heavens ...  God is likely speaking to HIS people.  I always notice when these things happen today.  And I consider that the great tribulation is likely coming soon.  And the shaking of the powers of heaven by the sun failing to give it's light.  The moving of the earth slightly in the solar system. And then the sign of Jesus in the sky.   And we will see open wickedness in both the world and in the apostate churches.   31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.   ***   Matthew 24:44   Jesus says:   Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.   2 Peter 3:14   Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.   Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.   ***   Great wickedness of men came before the destruction from God:   Luke 21  Jesus said:   26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.   27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.   28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;   29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.   Days of Noah:  Genesis 6 Days of Lot:  Genesis 19 (Read of these)   30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.   ***   Pestilences:   Coronavirus covered the entire earth.  I think this makes this virus as a "trumpet".   To me this is just one of the many things that come to tell man, "You are not in charge."   It is just glimpse of the fall of Babylon of Revelation 18 in the end times, where great cities fell.   ***   And unspeakable sins begin to surface, especially in the churches.   February, 2021:  A Southern Baptist Church pastor in Georgia makes announcement to the world that homosexuals and lesbians are welcome to their church.  Apostasy in the churches.   The Southern Baptist Convention put this church group out of the Baptist group of churches because they said they did not conform to the "tradition" of the Baptist church.  No report at all was given to USA Today concerning the fact that because of the Holy Bible, this church group was expelled.  They just said they didn't fit the "tradition" of the Baptist church groups.   This is even a bigger sin to me, for the leadership of the Baptist church did not cite scripture in their reason for their action when they reported to the news media.   In everything scripture must be the reason for our action as Christians.  And we must cite the specific scripture upon which we base that which we are doing.   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:  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 is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   Before Jesus could return, there would be "a falling away" where churches fell away from scriptures, and the man of sin (antichrist) moved into the churches.   II Thessalonians 2   3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:   9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,   10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:   12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   ***   And through all these things that come upon this earth, we keep ourselves in peace, without spot, and blameless through constant prayer, connecting us to God in every trouble.   And we cling to the scriptures of the Bible until the end.   II Timothy 3:16-17   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.    💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    The New Covenant: God puts HIS laws directly into our hearts and minds

    (This podcast was previously published on April 26, 2021)   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 shall be to ME a people:   11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.   Often God will put HIS own desire into our hearts so that we desire to do that thing even before the situation arises.   But if we are about to go in a way that would not be of God, HE can cause our heart to change to go even in a way opposite from that which we thought we wanted to go.   God just puts in our heart another desire and leads us that new way.   God shields us from those things that would not be beneficial for us, and keeps us from that which would hurt us and destroy us.  And HE leads us into a more abundant life than we could have had otherwise.   God even puts HIS own laws into our hearts and minds.   Hebrews 10:16   God says:  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;   I John 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM.   (Abide in that which God has told you.)   28 And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at HIS coming.   29 If ye know that HE is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM.   *****   John 14:26  Jesus says:  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 remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.   I Corinthians 2   9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.   10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.   11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.   12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.   13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.   ***   If we are of God, we are righteous, because of that which God has shown us, and the Spirit of God dwells in us to remind us of all things that we have heard from God.   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   We pray continually for the will of God to be done in our lives on this present earth.   💥💥💥💥💥    * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Don't compromise: Concerning Homosexuals and Lesbians: What Bible says

    (This podcast was previously published on April 22, 2021)   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 is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.   28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   In the Bible, we have the example of the men of Sodom who went after strange flesh.   Genesis 13:13  But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.   In every "quarter" of the city were homosexuals.   God sent 2 angels to Sodom to deliver Lot (Abraham's nephew) before God destroyed Sodom.   Angels look like natural men.  Angels do not have wings.   So when these homosexuals in Sodom realized the 2 men had come into Lot's home, they came demanding that Lot turn these 2 men over to them so they could have sex with these 2 men who were really 2 angels sent by God to destroy Sodom.   Genesis 19:4-7  But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:   And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.  (Have sex with them.)   6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,  And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.   In this Podcast, I will present the scriptures showing God's view of Sodomites and the way the nation of Israel dealt with Sodomites.   God's view of the subject is all that matters.   What does God think?   The examples in the Bible show us the thinking of God on the various issues of this present life.   *****   On April 12, 2021, on CNN International (Internet), there was a story about a pastor in the Southern Baptist church group, who announced that homosexuals and lesbians and other sexual deviates were welcome at his church.   Before Jesus returns the churches will fall away from scriptures and antichrist moves into the church groups.   II Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."   In the end times, churches will set up other doctrines, contrary to scripture, and go by these doctrines of man in their churches, casting aside scriptures.   This is antichrist.   The apostle John tells us there are "many antichrists", not just one antichrist.   I John 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   John explains that those people who were antichrist came into their church group and then left them when they did not like the pure doctrine of Christ.   Many of these antichrist people set up their own churches, denominations, where they could control the teaching and omit the doctrines of Christ as they preferred.   In speaking with the elders of the church at Ephesus, the apostle Paul said:   Acts 20:29-30   For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.   Paul said to Timothy:   II Timothy 4:2-4  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  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;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.   This is what we are seeing today in many churches.   These are the antichrists of the end times in the churches.   *****   Concerning the Sodomites of the Old Testament:   I Kings 14:24   And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.   I Kings 15:12   And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.   I Kings 22:46  And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.   II Kings 23:7  And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.   Deuteronomy 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.   Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.   Jeremiah 23:14  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto ME as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.   Jeremiahs 50:40  As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.   ***   As homosexuals and lesbians and other sins of this world increase, we know the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation and the destruction of this present heaven and earth draws closer.   II Peter 3:13  Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   There will never be righteousness on this present earth.  It will just get worse and worse.   II Timothy 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.   But God will remove the righteous from this earth and take the righteous to that new heaven and new earth which is created by God for HIS people who follow HIM.   Revelation 21   1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:  for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.   4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.   5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.    💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind

    (This podcast was previously published on April 18, 2021)   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.   Immediately after I heard this man say this, I took my Bible and made a screen print of the page of scripture where Paul says, "We shall not all sleep (die),"   I Corinthians 15:51-52   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,   52 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, first the dead in Christ will be raised, then those who are still alive will be changed from this earthly physical body, and be raised from off this present earth and taken into the air to meet Jesus and those who are raised from the dead.   I Thessalonians 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 others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep.   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.   *****   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 believe in God, must be diligent to cling to truth of the Bible.   Therefore when we hear someone on TV speak that which is contrary to Bible, it is important for us to renew our mind to the truth from the Bible.  For that which is false could go down into our heart and at some point deceive us.   Some will think this unnecessary.   But I know it is critical to do the scriptures and not just hear the scriptures.   And I know it is important to collect scriptures which are brought before us in situations such as this and put those scriptures into some form of collected file and meditate upon those scriptures as we live daily on this present earth, keeping ourselves by the Word of God.   Joshua 1:8  God says:   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: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   I use my Kindle tablet photo section and make screen prints of such scriptures which I usually read daily.   The man who said the lie of the world was Ernest Hemingway.   A three part series of his life appeared on PBS and I recorded it.  I watched some of Episode 1, but felt it best to stop watching when he divorced his first wife and married a second wife, and later a third wife, all of which is adultery according to the Bible.   Matthew 5:32  Jesus said:  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.   I only watched part of Episode 1, but as they praised Hemingway, I found myself saying, "But Hemingway committed suicide."   Several times I said this.   I deleted Episode 2, but I watched some of Episode 3, wanting to hear their report of Hemingway suicide.  Toward the end of his life, he became crazy, thinking men in restaurants were government agents who were out to get him.  At the Mayo clinic they were giving him electric shock treatments but he continued in his imagined fears.  He was a very heavy drinker, a drunk.   I just kept thinking of how you can have all that fame and glory of men, and destroy yourself and lose everything.   Matthew 16:26 Jesus says: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?   It is important for us to guard our own hearts with all diligence, uprooting the saying of this world and wisdom of this world, and clinging to the truth of the Word of God in the Bible.   Also I was reminded of the following:   God says:  I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.  (Joshua 1:5 & Hebrews 13:5)   And God gives us a "sound mind", when we follow HIM.   II Timothy 1:7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   ***   Other scriptures in this recording:   Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.   ***   II Peter 3:10-14   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?   13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.   ***   Philippians 4:6-7   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.   ***   James 1:21-22 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.   22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.   25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.   James 2:24  by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.   26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. ***   Luke 21   Jesus says:   33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.   34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.   35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.   36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.   ***   Matthew 18  Jesus says:   3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.   4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.   ***   Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   ***   Revelation 12   9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.   10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.   11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.   12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.   ***   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: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   ***   James 3:15-17  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.   17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Jesus says: "My sheep hear MY voice"

    (This podcast was previously published on April 24, 2021)   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 Corinthians 3:16   Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   Jesus says:   John 10:27-29  MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME:  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY hand.   MY Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no man (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.   I Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?   The Spirit of God which is in us guides us into all truth, reminds us of that which Jesus has said to us, teaches us all things, and shows us things to come.  (John 14:26, John 16:13)   The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the helper.   If you have been born again, you have the Spirit of God in you.  Therefore you are able to follow what Jesus says to you by HIS Spirit.  You can hear Jesus' voice as the Holy Spirit brings thoughts to your mind to show you what to do.   You might need to be more aware of thoughts coming to your mind.  And how to recognize those thoughts that are from Jesus by HIS Spirit.   Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.   *****   My experience is that the Holy Spirit speaks in a very gentle voice, bringing to my mind scriptures and concepts in the moments that I have to make decisions in this life so I can know the way God wants me to go in the issues at hand.   John 14:26  Jesus says:  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 remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.   John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth:  for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.   I Corinthians 2   9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.   10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.   11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.   12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.   13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.    💥💥💥💥💥    * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Born again: What this means. How you can tell if you are born again.

    (This podcast was previously published on April 19, 2021)   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 heard her say that before.  But this time the power of God was in her to enable her to do those things she could not do before.   In my case, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me:  "Joan ... you know those mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes. Those were sins."   After I heard the word of God, by the Spirit of God, I believed and was instantly changed by God.   I read a portion of Bible (Deuteronomy 18:9-12) to my mother one day and she thought about that which I read to her and she said, "Well ... I guess we'd better not do that anymore."  And instantly she was changed by God.   My uncle wrote to me and said:  "Your mother is changed.  She is really changed."   My dad was born again instantly by God when he was in his 70's.  All of a sudden he wanted to go to church.   Jesus said to Peter: Matthew16:17   Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.   It is not that we learn things and change.   We are instantly changed by God and are given the Holy Spirit to live in us.   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.   No man can do this for himself.  He can go forward at church and be baptized and do what they tell him to do to be a member of their church group, but he cannot change inwardly as those who are born of the Spirit of God change.   Being born again is an act of God, not an act of the will of man.   Countless numbers are members of a church group, but few are born of the Spirit of God and changed instantly into completely new creatures by God HIMSELF.   Being born again is instant change caused by God and not by mental learning of man. And it is having the Spirit of God living inside of you now to lead you and guide you.   These statements will make no sense to the vast number of church goers who have not been born again by the Spirit of God.   They think we learn everything by acts of our own will, by reading the Bible.   But we cannot understand things of God by reading the Bible until we have been born again by God.   I Corinthians 2:14   But 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 said:  Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  John 3:3   Paul says they are:  "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."  (II Timothy 3:7)   But we cannot understand things of God by reading the Bible until we have been born again by God and have the Spirit of God in us to guide us and teach us.  It is HIS Spirit causing us to change and to be recreated in the image of God.   The Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)   We cannot obtain these "gifts" by copying others who have these gifts.  These gifts of the Holy Spirit are given by God and are not a learned thing but, rather, a part of the new creation which God causes us to be when HE lives in us.   I Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?   When we were born as babies from our natural parents, we did nothing to cause ourselves to be born.  Neither can we cause ourselves to be born again.  We are children of God by the will of God, and born of HIS Spirit, and recreated by God in HIS image.   As Jesus was born of the Holy Ghost, we also are now born of the Holy Ghost when we are born again.   And as Jesus could hear from God the Father, now we also can hear from God the Father by HIS Spirit who now lives in us.   As we inherit traits from our natural parents, now we inherit God's characteristics by being born of HIS Spirit.   We are changed by God and we are no longer like that person we once were.   Have you experienced that instant change from God?  If you have, you know it.  And others see that change in you also.   That is what being born again is.  We now have living in us God's Spirit.   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   It is not that we try to be godly.  We are godly, for God lives in us now, for we are born of God our Father and have HIS Spirit in us. *****   Comments by Pam Padgett    My great-aunt, Aunt Eunice, had gone to the Baptist church, I think all of her life.  As an adult she was very active in the Baptist church, even cleaning the church each week.  I'm sure everyone in our family had no doubt that Aunt Eunice was a Christian.   When she was in her 80's, there was a large family reunion.  At one point during the gathering, Aunt Eunice got up and announced with great joy and excitement that she was now born again!  She said she had always thought she was born again, but she now knew that she hadn't been born again until recently.   I was sitting next to Aunt Eunice's oldest daughter.  She leaned over to me and said "I don't know why Mother is saying this.  She just recently started talking like this.  But she has always been a Christian.  Everyone knows how she has worked at the church and done whatever needed to be done for years."    This daughter obviously didn't understand being born again, but it caused me to rejoice to hear what Aunt Eunice said.   Matthew 7:21-23  Jesus said:  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 name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?   23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.   ***   Comments by Joan Boney:   My aunt was Church of Christ all her adult life.  She was different from all the other relatives.  We got along great.  They were afraid of her but I was never afraid of Aunt Ardath.  They would say, "What would Ardath say?"  She was their gold standard concerning what was right and wrong.  But she wasn't that way with me.   After I was born again, I was at her house and the Holy Spirit said to me, "Tell her about being taken into heaven."  I didn't want to do that!  She was Church of Christ!  You don't tell supernatural religious things to Church of Christ.   But I knew it was the Holy Spirit telling me to do this, so I yielded myself to that which the Holy Spirit said for me to do.   I began telling my aunt this story:  After I was born again, I was transported into heaven in the night while I was sleeping.  I was with God and Christ and the Holy Spirit.  (I saw no physical images.  It was in the spirit.)  At that time I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.   As I told her this story, I noticed that a type of dreamy look came upon her face.   After I finished speaking, she said to me:  "Something like that happened to me once and it was all golden."   Then I knew why we always got along so well.   She once said to me, "I always knew you would never do anything wrong."   I did everything wrong!  But she must have seen me by faith.  For after I was born again I was completely changed instantly.   ***   When we are born again, we know we didn't do anything to cause us to be born again or to justify our being born again, it was all by the will of God.   I think this causes us to be more merciful toward those who are not born again.   Romans 9    6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:   7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall Thy seed be called.   8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.   9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.   10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;   11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of HIM that calleth;)   12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.   13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.   14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.   15 For HE saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.   16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.   17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew MY power in thee, and that MY name might be declared throughout all the earth.   18 Therefore hath HE mercy on whom HE will have mercy, and whom HE will HE hardeneth.   (If you have never experienced these changes from God, I suggest you fall down before God and beg God to have mercy on you.)   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click he
