Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Several years ago, I heard the following from the Holy Spirit: "There is a secret to endurance. I will show you."
As the iniquity increases around us, we cannot afford to focus on the iniquity. If we focus on the iniquity we will be pulled down by the lack of justice.
What we must do is to make our minds focus on the following:
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.
Injustice of this world can pull us down.
We build ourselves up in the faith by focusing on Bible examples and words we have heard from the Spirit of God.
We cannot live in negative and overcome.
I'm sure there are certain things on TV that we are better off not watching for they would fill us with negative things and things opposite to faith in God. There are people we best avoid because we know their conversation and it is an evil report and not good. We have to control our minds concerning making plans for tomorrow. Jesus might return tonight! And we remember Jesus saying: Take no thought for the morrow. Mt. 6 We learn to focus on today and to be content with having food and clothing. I Tim. 6 Rejoice that God has provided for us today! That is godly.
We labor to enter into HIS rest. Heb. 4 And it is a labor.
