    The great difference between Jacob, the chosen of God, and Esau, his elder brother, as they grow up in the house of Isaac

    (This podcast was previously published on August 31, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Genesis 27  (After the death of Sarah)   1-2 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.  And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.   3-4 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah (Abraham's wife after Sarah's death.)   5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.   (Isaac was the child of the promise.)   6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.   Genesis 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.   💥💥💥   Isaac had two sons. Jacob was the child of God.  Jacob had a twin brother, Esau,  who was the elder. Even before the children were born, God chose Jacob, the younger son and later spoke to Jacob directly, identifying HIMSELF to Jacob.   (Romans 9:10-13   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.)   Genesis 25:20-23   And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.   23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.   Rebekah knew God had chosen her younger son, Jacob over Esau.   💥💥💥   Genesis 26   34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:   35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.   Genesis 27:46   And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?   💥💥💥   Genesis 28   1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.   2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.   3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;   4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.   5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.   Esau is going to try to please his mother and father by copying what Jacob, the elect of God, has done.   So Esau, thinking by his fleshly mind, goes to the granddaughter of Abraham to marry her, a granddaughter of Abraham, whose father was a son of Abraham, Ishmael! (The natural man who tries to copy the elect of God is always off in his thinking, like a radio station which is a little off the center of the sound dial.)   6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;   7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;   8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;   9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.   For Esau reasons this woman, the grandaughter of Abraham, will please his father Isaac and his mother Rebekah.  But Ishmael was not even allowed to continue in Abraham's household, so his daughter would not please Isaac and Rebekah.   Concerning Isaac and Ishmael ...   Genesis 21:8-12  And the child (Isaac) grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.   12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.   So Ishmael, the son of Hagar, was cast out of Abraham house.  But Esau seems to miss this fact and he marries a daughter of Ishmael thinking this will please Isaac and Rebekah.   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.   Esau was "the natural man" and he could not please God.  Neither can we please God unless we are born again by God and given the Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us and teach us, for the Spirit of God searches the heart of God to reveal the will of God to us.  (I Corinthians 2)  So when we hear from the Spirit of God and follow HIM, we please God.   John 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.   We cannot understand the things of God until we have been born again by God and created as a new creature who is led by the Holy Spirit of God who is given us by God.   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.   When we are born again it is by the will of God and God speaks to us and reveals HIMSELF to us, changing us into new creatures who now have the Holy Spirit of God living in them to guide them in ways of God.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    God blesses Joseph wherever Joseph is, first in slavery and then in the prison

    (This podcast was previously published on August 30, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Genesis 39   1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.   2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.   3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.   4 And Joseph found grace in his sight (in the sight of the Egyptian), and he served him: and he (the Egyptian) made him (Joseph) overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his (Joseph's) hand.   5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.   6 And he (the Egyptian) left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat.    And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.   💥💥💥 7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.   8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;   9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?   10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.   11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.   12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.   13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,   14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:   15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.   16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.   17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:   18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.   19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.   20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.   💥💥💥 21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.   22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.   23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.   💥💥💥   Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.   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.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    God shows HIMSELF to Joseph and identifies the calling of Joseph through dreams

    (This podcast was previously published on August 29, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God speaks to HIS Children showing HIS election to HIMSELF.   We see that God spoke to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob.   Next in line is Joseph.  Of the 12 children of Israel, it was Joseph who was chosen by God.  And to Joseph, the elect of God, God spoke through dreams to show Joseph HIS calling.   Genesis 37   Dreams:   5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.   6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:   (This is the Word of God that Joseph speaks to his brothers and father.)   7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.   8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.   9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.   10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?   11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.   💥💥💥   God speaks to us by thoughts brought by the Holy Spirit, by dreams, by words carried by angels,   God speaks and when the word comes to us often that Word of God divides us from those persons who are not of God.   Jesus explains:   Matthew 10   34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.   35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.   36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.   37 He that loveth father or mother more than ME is not worthy of ME: and he that loveth son or daughter more than ME is not worthy of ME.   38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after ME, is not worthy of ME.   39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for MY sake shall find it.   💥💥💥   God speaks to Joseph by 2 dreams.   And Joseph's brothers hated Joseph and envied him.   Jacob (Israel), Joseph's father, sent Joseph to see how his brother's were doing in caring for the herd.   The brothers were going to kill Joseph.   But this happened:   Genesis 37   18  And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.   19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.   20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.   21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.   22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.   23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;   The brothers killed an animal and dipped the coat of many colors into the blood of the animal and took the coat to Joseph's father to make his father think an animal had killed Joseph.   His father had given Joseph a coat of many colors because Joseph was his favorite son among the 12 sons.   24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.   25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.   26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?   27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.   28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.   💥💥💥   No matter how terrible things look, God uses these things to accomplish HIS purpose by HIS elect.   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.   💥💥💥   As we share those dreams God has given us and as we share the words God has spoken to us we help the body of Christ and often even cause others in the body of Christ to remember things God has done for them, thus causing them to have their faith in God increased.   We see the working of God in the testimonies which we and others give to the people of God.   Philemon v. 6   That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Evaluating our work and words, and evaluating what other people bring to us

    (This podcast was previously published on July 21, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Psalm 145:11-12   and (we) talk of THY power;   To make known to the sons of men HIS mighty acts,   💥💥💥   Comments by Joan Boney:   We can check ourselves, and others, by the above scripture:   * Are we talking about that which God has done in our lives?  Are they telling us that which God has done?   * Are we showing the works of God when we speak?  Are they showing the works of God by their words?   💥💥💥   Examples:   # 1.  I saw the British Open Golf Tournament in July.   Are we talking about what God has done?  NO Are we showing the works of God?  NO   💥💥💥   # 2.  As I looked at my 25 year old car, I was thinking about having new upholstery put on front seat, and I had the following bought to mind:  "Or you could just buy a new car."  I could buy a new car.  I had sold my house in Texas and had the cash in the bank from the sale of the house.   Are we talking about what God has done?  YES  Are we showing the works of God?  YES   Matthew 11:30   God's yoke is easy.  God's burden is light.   John 16:13  The Holy Spirit "guides you".   💥💥💥   # 3.  I began having trouble finding food to eat.  Nothing seemed to taste good.  I was 83 when this happened.  I began praying asking God to help me and show me what to do.  I began thinking about buying an outdoor grill.  I had the money so I could pay cash.  Several times in the next few weeks, I thought of a grill.  I bought a grill.   Are we talking about what God has done?  YES Are we showing the works of God?  YES   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.   💥💥💥   #  4.  Pastor wanted to build a new church building.  I asked him:  What did God say to you about this?  Did God show you to build a new building?  Pastor did not answer me at all.  Two times pastor asked me to come see his building and "bless" his building.  Pastor's wife said they really wanted me to come see their work that they were planning.  Never did either of them mention anything about God.   Do we have any evidence that God is leading them to do this?  NO   💥💥💥   # 5.   I had a dream:  A woman was singing.  I said, "It's a little voice, but it is a nice little voice."  Then in the dream there was a blog and I saw it was a way to communicate with the church.   Blog:  no cost to publish Blog:  goes all over the world instantly Blog:  no censor of materials written  (complete freedom in writing)   Do we have any evidence that God led me to start a blog?  YES   💥💥💥   # 6.  Man comes to our house to do extermination work.  He identifies himself to me as a Christian.  Then this man says, "You could always pray that the mice would go to the house of neighbor that you hate."  I replied:  "I don't have any neighbors that I hate."  Later he began telling me that he goes on ministry trips to different cities each summer.  I asked:  "And how did God tell you to do this?"  He had no answer to this question.   Is he talking about what God has done?  NO Is he showing the works of God?  NO   💥💥💥   #7.  I saw a new TV series that has potential.   Are we talking about what God has done?  NO Are we showing the works of God?  NO   💥💥💥   # 8.  An announcement was made at church of a ministry trip with the singles class at church.  As a young woman, Pam Padgett signed up for this trip.  There was no mention of "how" they were to "minister".  The church was several hundred miles away, on the other side of the state.   No one knew what they were to do to "minister" when they arrived at the church.   Is there evidence that God authored this trip?  NO   💥💥💥   # 9.  In 1982, I was reading the following scripture from 2 Thessalonians 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first,   As I read this scripture, I heard these words which I believed to be information from God:  "This falling away are not people leaving the churches.  This falling away are the churches leaving the scripture."   Today is there evidence of churches having left portions of scripture and having set up new doctrines opposite to the instruction of the Bible in their groups?   YES   Was this information given to me in 1982 likely a word of knowledge from God based on the evidence seen today in churches?   YES   💥💥💥   The apostle Paul said:   I Thessalonians 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.   Do you do that concerning the things you say to others?  Do you evaluate what others say to you?   💥💥💥   One of our neighbors told Pam Padgett to tell me "hello" and also to tell me how much she enjoyed hearing the story of my old car.   Evaluation:  This neighbor didn't mention the scriptures which I sent to her concerning homosexuals and lesbians though I sent many scriptures on this subject to her:  Romans 1:26-28; Genesis 13:13; Genesis 19; I Kings 14:24; I Kings 15:12; I Kings 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7   A few days before this neighbor told this to Pam, I became aware of how much deception people carry to us and I began praying for God not to let me to be deceived or deluded.   After hearing the message from this neighbor, I was at first glad ... but then I was reminded that she said nothing about enjoying what I wrote where I shared those scriptures concerning homosexuals and lesbians!   I believe this tells the truth about this woman.  She does not delight in the scriptures, the Word of God.  But she wants to delight in that which she sees humans do.     Many church-going people are like this.   We need to pray that we not be deceived nor deluded by people.   For these are indeed "perilous times".   2 Timothy 3   1-4 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;   5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.   (They tell you where they go to church.  They love their buildings and delight in their stained glass windows and in their pastors, but they do not love the Word of God!)   7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.   8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.   13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.   14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  (God teaches us.)   15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.   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.   💥💥💥   And Jesus says:   Matthew 7:21-23  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.   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    The child of the promise and the elect of God

    (This podcast was previously published on August 28, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The linage from Abraham to Moses is very interesting to those who are interested in the elect of God.   For there is an elect of God which will be taken by Jesus into heaven when Jesus returns to gather the elect of God from off this earth.   Matthew 24:31 And HE (Jesus) 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.   💥💥💥   Abraham was chosen by God to be the father of many nations.   When the apostles of the early church saw God give the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles, they could trace the promise of the Gentiles back to Abraham, for God said Abraham would be the father of "many nations."   Acts 13:48  And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.   Acts 26:20   But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.   Galatians 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.   I Corinthians 12:13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.   Isaiah 62:2  And the Gentiles shall see THY righteousness,   Isaiah 49:6  And HE said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be MY servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be MY salvation unto the end of the earth.   Abraham:  "A father of many nations"  (including the Gentiles)   💥💥💥   Genesis 12   1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:   2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:   3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.   4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;   💥💥💥   Genesis 15   1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.   2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?   3 And Abram said, Behold, to me THOU hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.  (Eliezer at this point in time)   4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.   5 And HE (God) brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and HE (God) said unto him, So shall thy seed be.   6 And he (Abram) believed in the LORD; and HE (God) counted it to him for righteousness.   💥💥💥   Genesis 17   1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before ME, and be thou perfect.   2 And I will make MY covenant between ME and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.   3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,   4 As for ME, behold, MY covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.   5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.   6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.   7 And I will establish MY covenant between ME and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.   8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.   9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep MY covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.   💥💥💥   Genesis 17   15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.   16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.   17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?   18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!   19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish MY covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.   The child of the promise of God is named by God as Isaac.   So the linage of the elect of God, the children of God, will go through the promised son, Isaac.   💥💥💥   Isaac had 2 sons by Rebecca:  Jacob (the younger) and Esau (the elder).   Romans 9   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.   💥💥💥   Genesis 26  God speaks to Isaac   1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.   2 And the LORD appeared unto him (to Isaac), and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:   3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;   4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;   5 Because that Abraham obeyed MY voice, and kept MY charge, MY commandments, MY statutes, and MY laws.   (If we want to be blessed by God, then we obey God's voice and keep the commandments, the statutes, and the laws of God as set forth in the New Testament Bible.)   6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:   Genesis 26   12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.   (Sow in the land that is given to you by God.  God gave me the land of radio, blog, books, and Podcast.  I sow in that land.  What is the land given to you by God?)   13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:   14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.   Genesis 26   23 And he (Isaac) went up from thence to Beersheba.   24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for MY servant Abraham's sake.   25 And he (Isaac) builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well. 💥💥💥   Isaac had 2 sons:  Jacob (the younger) and Esau.   Jacob, the son of Isaac, is the elect of God, chosen by God.   God named Jacob, Israel.  And through Jacob will come the 12 sons of Israel, the 12 tribes of Israel.   (Jacob will be renamed "Israel" by God.)   💥💥💥   Esau, Jacob's brother, marries a daughter of Canaan and this woman greatly grieves Isaac and Rebecca.   Genesis 27:46   And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?   So Isaac and Rebecca send their son Jacob (the elect of God)  to their own people so he can choose a wife of the daughters of their people rather than from the daughters of Canaan who grieve them.   Genesis 28  (God speaks to Jacob as he travels to get his wife.  We see God showing that Jacob is HIS elect because HE speaks to Jacob.)   10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.   11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.   12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.   13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;   14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.   15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

    You might not realize God is speaking to you

    (This podcast was previously published on September 1, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   God has spoken to me many times.  I've never had God say to me, "I am God speaking."  HE just brings truth to my mind and opens my eyes to see truth.  Mostly I do realize that which was spoken was not coming from me but from God.   I think it might help you to re-read those times God spoke to Pam Padgett.  God might use these examples to show you HE has been speaking to you but you failed to recognize it was God.  (We recently re-published that Podcast on July 16, 2026.)   On this Podcast we are going to focus on that which God has spoken to you.   Consider this question:   What has God spoken to you?   Again I encourage you to sit down and make a list of those Words which you believe to have been spoken to you by God.   For when we are children of God, God speaks to us, HIS children.   Just ask God to bring to your mind those things HE has said to you.   After you list things you believe God spoke to you, we would enjoy it very much if you shared those things with us.  If you would send an email we  could put these in with other words spoken to other people of God and that would edify the body of Christ.   Send these by email to: jesusministries@comcast.net   💥💥💥💥💥   * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

    Abraham makes arrangement for a wife for Isaac, the son of the promise

    (This podcast was previously published on August 27, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   What can be more important for a parent than the mate their child marries?   (Much prayer and help is needed from God in this matter if you are a parent.)   Isaac was the child of the promise of God.   Abraham knew it would be bad if Isaac married one of the daughters of Cannan.  So Abraham instructed his servant and sent his servant to bring from his people a wife for Isaac.   💥💥💥   Genesis 24   1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.   2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:   3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:   4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.   5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?   6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.   7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; HE shall send HIS angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.   (Abraham had strong grounds upon which to have faith that God would lead in this matter.)   8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.   9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.   💥💥💥 10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.   11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.   12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.   13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:   14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that THOU hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that THOU hast shewed kindness unto my master.   (A woman showing kindness to the servant and also to the animals would be a woman with a good and kind disposition, caring for both man and helpless beast.)   💥💥💥   One of our church members had a twice divorced 50 year old son who wanted to find a wife and have children.  I felt I had counsel from God on this matter.  I told her:  Tell him a woman who would have sex with him before marriage would not be a suitable wife.   💥💥💥   Genesis 24   15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.   16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.   17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.   18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.   19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.   (She considered both man and beast.)   20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.   (She went immediately to care for the 10 camels, showing a diligence and also that she was not a lazy woman.)   💥💥💥 21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.   22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;   23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?   24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.   25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.   26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.   27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of HIS mercy and HIS truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.   28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.   29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.   30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.   31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.   32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.   33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand.   (Abraham's servant acted with urgency and honor in his assigned task.)   And he (Laban) said, Speak on.   34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.   35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and HE hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.   36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.   37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:   38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.   39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.   40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send HIS angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:   41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.   42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now THOU do prosper my way which I go:  43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;  44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.   45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. 46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.   47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.   48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.   49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.   50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.   51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.   52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.   53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.   54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.   55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.   56 And he (Abraham's servant) said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.   57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.   58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.   (Rebekah saw the way God was working in this matter and she didn't hesitate to go.)   💥💥💥 59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham'

    Words which God spoke to Pam Padgett

    (This podcast was previously published on August 26, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Pam Padgett is a member of the body of Christ, chosen by God and given the Holy Spirit by God.   I wanted you to see how God speaks to Pam for this is a very good example for you to know that God speaks to all of those who are the elect of God, not just to HIS chosen ministers.   💥💥💥   Pam says:   In 1970 a boy in my class died in a motorcycle accident.  For the first time I realized that someone my age (14 years old) could die.  I also strongly "knew" that if I died that day I would go to hell, and that my only hope was God.   Nothing I or anyone else could do would save me.  God was my only hope.   So I started to pray, but realized I didn't know who to address this prayer to.   We had been taught in the Catholic church that there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but I didn't know which one to pray to and it was very important to me that this prayer be heard.   So I started my prayer by saying "I know there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but I don't know which one to pray to.  So please get this prayer to the right one."   Then I asked that, if there was any way possible to save me, to please do so.   💥💥💥   After I prayed, my eyes were drawn to the following scripture which was written on a bookmark.  It strongly stood out to me and comforted me.   Matthew 11:28-30  Jesus says ... Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.   Now I know it was God giving me the understanding that God is my only hope, and drawing my attention to Matthew 11:28-30.   💥💥💥   A short time after I turned to God asking Him to please save me, I began to realize that there was "something of God in me".   One example is when I was talking with a few girls at school before class began.  One of the girls said "You could never guess where I went yesterday afternoon."   I knew within me where she had gone.  I said "You went to the cemetery, to Tommy's grave."  (Tommy was the boy in our class who had died in the motorcycle accident.)   She said that was correct and that I must have seen her there.   I told her that I had not seen her, but they had gone on talking about other things and didn't seem to hear.   But it was obvious to me that there was no way I could have known that she had gone to the cemetery.  It had to be that God had given me this information.   I now believe this was a word of knowledge from God.   I Corinthians 12:8  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;   💥💥💥   During my senior year of high school, when my family returned home from visiting my sister at her college, a friend of my mom called her.  This friend's husband owned the wrecker service in our small town.  She told my mom that there had been a serious car accident involving some of the boys from our high school, but she didn't know who the boys were.   That night I was given a dream in which I was shown who had been in the accident and that Steve had been killed in it.  Steve was in my class.   The next morning my mom spoke with her friend again on the telephone and learned who had been in the accident.  My mom came to my room to tell me, but before she said anything I told her that I knew that Steve had been killed in the accident.   I think my mom assumed I had overheard her talking with her friend, but I knew that God had told me this by the dream.   💥💥💥   Although I knew there was "something of God in me" after I asked God to please save me, I didn't know what that was.   A few years later God explained to me that it was the Holy Spirit in me as I read the following in I Corinthians.   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   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?     💥💥💥     A scripture that stood out to me as a young Christian is the following, helping me to trust in God, not in my own works.   Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.   💥💥💥   During the last months of college I rented a room in the home of a woman, named Cindy.  I had met her in the singles group at the church I attended at the time.  Cindy had been divorced twice and had a young daughter.  At first she seemed content to remain single and raise her daughter.  But then she began to look for another husband.   I spoke with her and shared scriptures with her warning that she would commit adultery if she remarried.  It was a big shock when she replied "I don't care what the Bible says.  I know what I believe."   But God says:   Romans 7:2-3  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 dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   I Corinthians 7:10-11  Paul says:  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, 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 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   Shortly after this, I graduated and moved from Cindy's house to a town about 30 minutes from where this church group met.  I no longer attended the singles group meetings although I still attended the Sunday morning service and sat with those in the singles group, visiting with them before and after the service.   Someone told me that Cindy had become engaged to marry a man who also attended the singles group, Terry.   I went to Terry and shared scripture with him warning of the adultery that would be committed if he and Cindy married since she was divorced.  Terry said he would consider these things, but he didn't stop the wedding plans.   Matthew 5:32   But I (Jesus) 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.   Then I heard that another woman I had met in the singles group, Lisa, was going to be maid of honor at Terry and Cindy's wedding.   I went to Lisa and shared scripture warning of the adultery that would be committed by this marriage.  Lisa said she knew this was wrong but that they would get married anyway, so she was going to be maid of honor.   I Timothy 5:22 ... neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.   💥💥💥   Then something strange began to happen when I went to the Sunday morning church service.   One Sunday morning I got to the church a little early and sat in the area where those in the singles group sat, but none of the singles came to sit in that area.  As the service was about to begin, I turned and saw that those in the singles group were sitting in an area behind me.   The next Sunday morning I sat in what I thought was the "new" singles group area, but those in the singles group sat in the "old" area.   The following Sunday morning I got to the church building shortly before the service began.  I went to where those in the singles group were sitting and sat down.   Without saying a word, they got up and moved away from me to sit another area of the church auditorium.   Now it was obvious to me that those in the singles group did not want to associate with me, but I didn't know why.   I cried out to God, asking what was going on?  Had I done something wrong?   💥💥💥   A few weeks later a woman I didn't know very well came to me after the Sunday morning service.   She said she had a word from God for me.   The word she delivered was that God knew how those in the singles group were treating me, and that I needed to know it was because I had spoken to the various people involved in Cindy and Terry's wedding, and that this is what HE (God) had wanted me to do.   It was so comforting to receive this word, for I then knew why this had happened and that I had done what was right in the sight of God.     💥💥💥   In approximately 1983 while sitting in the Metrochurch auditorium waiting for the Sunday morning service to begin, I heard the following:   "What are you doing sitting here?  I told you to get out.  Now get out."   I became convinced this was from God and asked God when HE had previously told me to leave this church group.  I was reminded of the "Poison Gas Dream" which Joan Boney had shared with us and warnings she had given to us about those church groups that corrupt the Word of God.   The Poison Gas Dream   (Given to Joan Boney in1979)   Destruction was everywhere.   In this dream, a meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.   A second man rushed into the room and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."   The first man resumed speaking.   I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."   There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole. A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous a
