Making your way prosperous

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

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.

When I was born again in 1975, I wanted to prosper and have good success.  I saw by this scripture the way to do that.  You meditate in the Word of God day and night.  As you do that, you gain strength and courage which enables you to do what the Word says and to have faith in God.  And you end up making your own way prosperous because you do the Word of God and you have good success.

Another great benefit is by filling yourself with the word of God daily and continuing to do this you "fill your house" and you drive devils out.

Mt. 12 ... Jesus said ... When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


Meditating daily in that word given you by God is eating and drinking the blood of Jesus.

Jesus said ... Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Jn. 6:53

Meditating in the word given you by God is the way we eat HIS flesh and drink HIS blood.  It is the Lord's supper.  He feeds us as we feed upon HIS word.

Meditating in the word of God and reading the Bible are different things.  We read the Bible until a scripture "jumps" out at you and you have trouble reading past that verse.  STOP!  Go back to that verse.  Focus on that verse.  Think about what it is saying.  Think about how it applies to you.  Look key words up in dictionary.  This about it as you go about your day.  Think about it as you go to sleep.  This is meat and drink to you.

Psa. 1 ... Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

Jeremiah 17 ... Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Meditating in the Word of God helps us to have faith in God.

So if you want to make your way prosperous and have good success, meditate daily in the word of God to get strength and courage to enable you to do the Word of God.  Also this drives devils out!
