What are you teaching your children and those around you?

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

I Jn. 2 ... 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


Are you teaching your children and onlookers to love something that is not in the Bible and is made up by men, mostly by merchants who desire to stimulate the flesh and sell their merchandise?  Are you, by your actions and participation in things of this world teaching your children to love this world?  Stop and consider what you are doing.

Things of God are unseen ... of the Spirit, not of the flesh of man.

If we are of God we want to represent God in spirit and in truth.

Is this what you are doing?

How can we be of this world and participate in things of this world if we are dead to this world?

Col. 3 ... 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
 

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
 

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
