Differences between thoughts that come from God ... and thoughts that come from our own flesh ... and thoughts that come from devil


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

One way God leads HIS people is by putting HIS thoughts into our hearts and our minds.

This is part of the covenant of God with the New Testament Church.

Hebrews 8:10-11    For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

God leads us in HIS way by HIS Spirit who dwells in us, the Holy Spirit of Jesus.

I Corinthians 2:9-12    But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Jesus tells us that which the Holy Spirit in the believer does for the believer.

John 14:26    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 16:13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

God has well equipped HIS own people to hear that which HE wants them to do in the issues pertaining to this present life.

James 3:17-18    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

The works authored by our own desires are not like the wisdom that is from God. 

The works of our own desires are authored by our own flesh.

Galatians 5:19-21    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness (defrauding others), lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (debating and striving against others), emulations (trying to outdo others), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Our flesh loves to exalt itself.

It majors in achievements of man and appearance, outdoing one another whenever possible.

And our flesh loves to debate, strive and win out over others.

James 3:13-16    Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

The works of the devil are opposite to the Word of God ... antichrist ... opposite to Christ.

* Jesus says:  whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32

Antichrist says:  "Of course you can marry divorced woman.  God wants you to be happy."

* Jesus says:  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 7:10-11

Antichrist says:  "Of course you can remarry after divorce.  God forgives you and wants you to be happy."

Jesus says:  And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.  Matthew 19:4-6

Jesus says:  Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.  Mark 10:11-12

The thoughts of antichrist oppose the Word of God.

When we know what the Bible says, we know when we hear something opposite to that which the Bible says.

The apostle Paul tells us the following concerning the last days.

II Timothy 3:1-5  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;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

13-16    But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
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.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
