💥 Proverbs 30 / Wisdom

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.

3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

5 Every word of God is pure: HE is a shield unto them that put their trust in HIM.

6 Add thou not unto HIS words, lest HE reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

💥💥💥

7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

💥💥💥

10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

💥💥💥

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

💥💥💥

17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

💥💥💥

20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

💥💥💥

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

💥💥💥

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

💥💥💥

29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

💥💥💥

32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.  

It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.

No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)

We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

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.

14 Plagues of The Great Tribulation:

 

Mt. 24  Jesus says:

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.

💥💥💥

14 Plagues  

(1st 7 plagues are brought by the angels as they sound their 7 trumpets)

#1.  Rev. 8:6 ... hail, fire, mingled with blood ... 1/3 part of trees burnt up & all green grass burnt

💥

#2.  Rev. 8:8-9... great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea ...1/3 of sea became blood ...1/3 of creatures in the sea died ... 1/3 of ships destroyed

💥

#3.  Rev. 8:10-11 ... great burning star falls from heaven onto the rivers... name of star "Wormwood" ... 1/3 of the rivers become wormwood... many men die of the waters because waters are made bitter.

💥

#4.  Rev. 8:12 ... 1/3 of sun, moon, stars "smitten" and go dark... day shown not for a third part; night likewise

💥

#5.  Rev. 9:1-11 ... smoke released from bottomless pit darkens sun and air ... locust released with power like scorpions with power to hurt men  for 5 months; those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads ... 

Rev. 9:6  And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

💥

#6.  Rev. 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

💥

#7.  Rev. 10:6  That there should be time no longer. 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as HE hath declared to HIS servants the prophets.

💥💥💥

Woes of the last 7 angels as they pour out their 7 vials:

#1  Rev. 16:1-2  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

noisome (sore having a bad odor)

💥

#2  Rev. 16:3 angel pours his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea ...

💥

#3 Rev. 16:4 Third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters and they became blood.

💥

#4. Rev. 16:8  Fourth angel poured his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give HIM glory.

(Reminds you of the great heat of 2023 in Southwest USA, but I think this heat of the vial of the angel on the sun will be even worse and will be all over the world for he poured that vial on the sun which reaches every person on this earth.)

💥

#5,   Rev. 16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

💥

#6  Rev. 16:12  Sixth angel pours his vial on river Euphrates and the water dried up ... 3 unclean spirits loosed ... spirits of devils working miracles... gathering world to the battle of Armagedon

💥

#7. Rev. 16 ... And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Hymn: I know that my Redeemer lives

(Click forward arrow > to play music:)


1.  I know that my Redeemer lives
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty. 

2.  I know that my Redeemer lives,
A quick’ning Spirit He;
I know eternal life He gives—
Amazing grace—to me.

3.  I find Him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.

4.   He wills that I should holy be:
What can withstand His will? 
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.

5.  Jesus, I hang upon Thy word:
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive.

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:

v. 1   I know that my Redeemer lives
And ever prays for me;

Hebrews 7:25   Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Romans 8:24-34    For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?   But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 

And HE that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because HE maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

For whom HE did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS Son, that HE might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover whom HE did predestinate, them HE also called: and whom HE called, them HE also justified: and whom HE justified, them HE also glorified. 

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

He that spared not HIS own Son, but delivered HIM up for us all, how shall HE not with HIM also freely give us all things?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, WHO is even at the right hand of God, WHO also maketh intercession for us.

***

v. 2  I know that my Redeemer lives,
A quick’ning Spirit He;


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.

***

v. 3  His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.

Ephesians 1:12-14 ...  That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of HIS glory.

John 8:31-32   Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

I Thessalonians 4:13-18   But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep (die) in Jesus will God bring with Him. 

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede)  them which are asleep (dead). 

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

***

Job 19:25   For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that HE shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

💥 After I was born again, God transported me into heaven twice as I slept in the night.

(Comments by Joan Boney)

On August 5, 1975, I was reading a book concerning sin when God spoke these words to me:  "Joan ... you know those mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."

I was so shocked.  I thought they were mistakes.

Immediately I was born again and was given God's Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

💥💥💥

Prophecy of what it will be like in the times of the New Covenant church.

Ezekiel 36  God says:

23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

💥💥💥

A few days after I was born again, in the night while I was sleeping, I was transported into heaven.  I was with God and Christ and the Holy Spirit.  

(I saw no physical images.  It was a spiritual experience.) 

At that time I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.

(I thought, at that time, this happened to everyone who became a Christian.)

Then a few nights later, the exact same thing happened a second time.  

Again I was transported into heaven and made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.

Later I saw the following scripture that was similar to that which happened to me:

2 Corinthians 12:2-3  Paul says:

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

💥💥💥

After being taken into heaven, I was on fire for things of God.

I owned a small business at that time in American Indian Arts.  After that, I no longer cared anything at all for my business.  All I wanted to do is read the Bible and be with people of God at church.

I would often stay home all day, not going to my business at all, and I would read the Bible with God teaching me scriptures by HIS Spirit.  

(I had 3 very competent women working for me and they didn't need me at the business except for the times we did appraisals and when I had to go on buying trips to select jewelry to sell at the business.)

💥💥💥

For 5 years, from 1975 to 1980, God taught me and prepared me and eventually, during that time, God showed me I was to be a full-time minister.

In 1979, a man from our church group, who said he was a prophet, came to my business with a message for me:  "Joan ... you're dragging your feet.  You know you are supposed to be a minister.  You need to close your business to go into the ministry full time."

(I guess I believed him for I closed my business on July 31, 1979.)

There was no place for me to go after I closed my shop.  I just stayed at home and waited for God to show me what I was to do.  I didn't apply for work at any church.  I just lived off the money that I had made from the business and I waited!

On January 10, 1980, I was asleep in the night.  I believe an angel spoke to me to deliver this message from God:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"

(I found KWJS to be a Christian Radio Station.)

I said to God, "Are YOU telling me to go on radio?  I wouldn't know how to do that."

Immediately I heard:  "Call the radio station manager."

I called that same morning.  I asked to speak to the radio station manager at KWJS.  When he came on the phone, I said:  "God might be showing me to go on radio.  How would you do that?"

He said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting, we will offer you a contract."

I recorded a tape that same day and put it into the mail to the radio station manager.

Within five days they offered me a contract to broadcast exhortation messages to the church on KWJS.

💥💥💥

(Comments by Pam Padgett)

In approximately 1983 a friend started giving me writings that Joan Boney had sent to those on the Jesus Ministries mailing list.  

I enjoyed reading these, but wasn't sure about a woman minister.  

Before this, I had stayed completely away from women who said they were ministers.   

Then one night I was given a dream which changed my thinking on this. In this dream I was working at a restaurant and was told that my supervisor was Joan Boney.

I believed this dream was from God, and showed HIS view of the matter. 

Because of this, I accepted Joan as a minister, and began to support Jesus Ministries and to share what God was doing in my life. 

 

💥💥💥

(Comments by Joan Boney)

In 2012, God gave me a dream showing me to start a blog.  I called Pam Padgett who was a retired computer programmer and asked Pam to set up a blog.  Within 3 days of that dream, Pam had a blog up and running for the ministry and we were publishing written exhortations all over the world on Internet.

In 2015, Pam did the technical work when we began publishing e-books and paperbacks on Amazon.

In 2020, God gave me a dream showing me to begin Podcasts.  Pam did all technical work on Podcasts.

I also found that Pam has a spiritual gift of helps:

I Corinthians 12:27-28  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

💥💥💥

In 1980, when I first went on radio KWJS,  a woman named Lilly McBride who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, was in the faith movement churches.  She listened to KWJS.  An opening came on radio at 12 noon. The other teachers around that opening were faith movement teachers.  Lilly began praying for someone of faith to be put on radio at 12 noon.

Lilly turned on her radio and sat down to listen to the noontime broadcast.  A woman began speaking.

Lilly screamed out:  "Oh, no, Lord.  NOT A WOMAN!"

Lilly jumped out of her chair and rushed toward her radio to turn the broadcast off.  (The radio was sitting across the room from Lilly.)

Before she could turn the program off she became interested in what I was saying and she became an instant daily listener at 12 noon to the broadcast on KWJS. 

Lilly lived across the street from Vinita Copeland, Kenneth Copeland's mother.

We 3 became close friends!

Lilly and Vinita attended my meetings in both Fort Worth and in Dallas.

💥💥💥

 

For 5 years, 1975-1980, God taught me Bible.  HE took me to all scriptures in Old and New Testaments concerning prophets, showing me their calling and the type of work they did.  God gave me gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially word of knowledge.  (I Cor. 12:8)  

At the Sunday school class at church, God would give me words of knowledge.  The teacher would say:  "Does anyone have a word from the Lord."  inviting us to speak that word to the class.

Also God often gave me words of knowledge for the neighborhood prayer group.

Church people everywhere recognized the call of God on my life.

Proverbs 18:16  A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

💥💥💥

One day the pastor, Robert Tilton, at the church I was attending said from the pulpit:  "Joan Boney is not called to be a teacher.  She is a prophetess."

I had never told anyone my experiences in being taken into heaven and being merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the word of God.

I had never told anyone I was called as a prophet.

I had never told anyone at church that God had said this word to me:  "I have called you and set you into the body of Christ as an apostle."  

"An apostle?"  I responded.  "What's an apostle?"

💥💥💥

I asked our Bible teacher at church about apostles but I didn't tell him or anyone else what God had told me.  

"Who are the apostles at our church?"  I asked.  

He replied, "I don't know."  

"What do apostles do at church," I asked.  

"I don't know." He responded. 

💥💥💥 

I didn't have any human example of a NT apostle, so God taught me.

Apostles are ordained to deal with scriptures and they make judgments concerning church doctrines from the various scriptures. 

For example:  A question arose at Paul's time:  Do the believing Gentiles have to be circumcised?

The apostles and elders met at Jerusalem to discuss the matter and settle the church doctrine on the issue.

Acts 15  (This is what God showed me.)

1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

18 Known unto God are all HIS works from the beginning of the world.

19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas (prophet) surnamed Barsabas, and Silas (prophet), chief men among the brethren:

23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas (prophets), who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

💥💥💥

Many churches today have discarded various scriptures because those scriptures would not be popular in the church gatherings today.

God has shown me these church groups are the end time apostasy churches.

I write about the scriptures they discarded to try to re-establish these verses of Bible in the minds of individuals in those church groups.

This is what God has shown me about the apostles in today's church.

💥💥💥

The main message at this time for the church is to return to all the scriptures in the New Testament Bible and get yourself ready for the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of this present heaven and earth and the judgment seat of Christ.

💥 Proverbs 29 / Wisdom

 

1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.

14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.  

It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.

No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)

We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

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.

Please keep this writing and all these concepts and scriptures before you and meditate on these things and be sure you are making proper adjustments to your life.

Podcast: Few there be that find the way of life, says Jesus

 

 

 

 

Matthew 7:13-14

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Many people in churches end up following seducing spirits and doctrines of devils in the trials of life.

I Timothy 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The churches of the apostasy today eliminate many scripture from the Bible that offend people and they teach people a doctrine which says, "God loves you and wants you to be happy on this earth so of course a divorced woman can remarry and a man is free to marry a divorced woman."  By teaching this, they eliminate several scriptures.

💥  Matthew 5:32  (Jesus says:) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

💥  I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, 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.

39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

💥  Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

💥 Mark 10  (Jesus says)

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.

11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Paul explains 2 become one flesh at the time of sexual intercourse, even if you have sex with a prostitute.

💥  I Corinthians 6

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

💥  Romans 1  

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

💥  I Corinthians 6

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

A few nights ago, I was watching a show about a big law firm in NYC.  They were doing so many things which were sins according to that which the Holy Scriptures teach.

I thought, "I'm so glad we have the scriptures from the NT Bible because they set boundaries for us so we know what to do and what not to do."

(Also God has given us a new heart and a new Spirit.  Ezekiel 36)

Ezekiel 36:27  And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

💥💥💥

A man once told his mother that the Bible is so legalistic.

This very greatly troubled me!  I turned to God and God explained to me the following:

"The people of the world want to be free to sin.  The people of God want to be free from sin."

Jesus said:  John 3:3  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I Corinthians 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

💥💥💥

The Bible sets boundaries for us so we will not go in the way of sin, staying free "from" sin.

Hebrews 10

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of the Lord) approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

💥💥💥

Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says)  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

Jesus can blot our name out of the book of life if we fail to overcome through God and HIS Word.

Hymn: HE leadeth me!

(Click forward arrow > to play music:) 


1. He leadeth me! O blessed thought, 
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught;
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ’tis Christ’s WORD that leadeth me.

Chorus:

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!

By His own WORD He leadeth me;

His faithful follower I would be,
For by His WORD He leadeth me. 

2.  Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His WORD that leadeth me. 

3.  Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine (by reaching out and grabbing HIS Word and doing it),

Nor ever murmur or repine; *
 
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since it is Thou that leadest me. 

4.  And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,  
Since Thou in triumph leadest me.

Defnitions:
 
Consider these definitions for the words "murmur" and "repine" in verse 3.

Nor ever murmur or repine;

murmur:  complain about 

repine:  to look back with intense longing for what one once had ...
             to be fretfully discontented ...
             to mope, to languish, to feel upset about, to be despondent over ... to brood, lament, grieve, mourn, sorrow

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:

Romans 8:11    But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

God, by HIS Spirit, brings thoughts to our minds to comfort us, to show us what to do, to stabilize us in times of trial.  Sometimes God will give us a dream to help us.  And God uses angels from time to time to deliver messages to us.  

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.

***

I Corinthians 2:1-5   And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

***

John 5:30   Jesus said:   I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear (from God), I judge: and MY judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent ME.

***

I Corinthians 2:10-13    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.

Which things also we speak

***

Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

💥 Rewards in heaven.

 2 John

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Comments by Joan Boney:

I'm very cautious and careful about whom I "wish well."  

If I wish a person well and he goes out and sins, John says I would be partaker of his evil deeds.

I went to dentist this week.  She goes on maternity leave in 3 weeks.  I think she is married and I know she had a child about 3 years ago.  I thought it over carefully what I should say to her when I left the office.  Even as she was working on my tooth, I was considering what I would say to her.

This is very important to me.

I would not want to wish a person well who might be sinning or going out afterward to sin.

Before I left I said, "I hope things go well for you in the birth of the baby."

She replied:  "I really appreciate hearing that from you."  (She knows I write religious type books on Amazon and she knows about the blog and perhaps about the Podcasts.)  

What I said was not said loosely or without thought.

I never could understand my cousins who made over another cousin who lived in fornication and they even allow this cousin and her fornication partner to come visit them and stay in their house, as they professed to be Christian.

I don't like to be around unbelievers for mostly I don't have much in common with them and I don't want to hear ungodly thinking of unbelievers.

2 Corinthians 6  (the apostle Paul says)

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

A Baptist woman had a granddaughter who was raised in the Baptist church.  But when she was late-teens, she committed fornication, even with different young men.  

The Baptist woman would have this granddaughter into her home and let her spend the night even.

"How can this be?"  I wondered.

Another Baptist woman said to me, "But she's her granddaughter."  

"What about upholding the scriptures, the Holy Bible?"  I wondered.

I don't understand how a Christian can approve sin like this.

Like Joshua, I say:

Joshua 24

2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

3 And I (God said) took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.

7 And when they cried unto the LORD, HE put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:

10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

11And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.

12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve HIM in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD (the Word).
