Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Yesterday I printed the following scripture with definitions for each key word in this scripture:
Paul said ... Phil. 4:8 ... Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I printed yesterday's writing on this subject and sat down this morning to begin to think on the first listed part of this scripture ... the word "true" ... to think on that which is true. Immediately I was reminded of the following truth ... Gen. 1:1 ... In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
I talked with Pam by phone and asked her if she had ever tried doing what Paul said to do in Phil. 4:8 and she said she hadn't but as of today she wanted to do this and she had just started thinking on truth and was reminded of I Jn. 5:20 ... And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
I think this is so interesting. The Holy Spirit led us to different scriptures concerning truth. It reminds me of how the Word of God is the "living" Word, given to each one of us as God wills. Each of us must focus by the Spirit of God where HE leads us. We have different needs, different holes that need attention. It makes sense that we would think on a subject such as truth and be reminded of different areas of scripture.
If we would do Phil. 4:8 daily for a season, I feel certain we would be greatly helped as we live on this earth.
