💥 Joan Boney:

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The Holy Spirit dwells in each person who is born again.  And the Holy Spirit does the following to help 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. 

(People often think "they" thought of that scripture.  But  I recall that Jesus said the Holy Spirit reminds us of all Jesus has said.  Therefore it is the Holy Spirit who has brought that scripture to our mind.  This is so important, for when God by HIS Spirit brings a scripture to our mind and we know that, it should give us additional faith to do that scripture and to put our trust in that verse for it is God speaking it to us.)

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 (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify ME: for HE shall receive of MINE, and shall shew it unto you.

(If we speak of ourselves, of our own thinking, of our own ideas we glorify ourselves.  But if the Holy Spirit reminds us of something and we do that and tell others God by HIS Spirit told us to do that, then we glorify God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.)

Give glory to God by recognizing before others that it was God who told us "that".

1Thessalonians 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

One morning when we still lived in Pennsylvania. I woke up knowing we could move to South Carolina. Cliff was close to retiring and both our parents had died and our daughter had been in South Carolina for several years.

 

A few days later I had a dream that the house we were to buy was water front and the entrance was on the right side of the house. It took a while to sell our house then we moved to South Carolina and rented a place and started looking for this specific house.

 

It took us 6 months but we did find it and have lived here to this day.

 

Acts 17:28   FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; AS CERTAIN ALSO OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING. 

(JB ... Acts 17:26  NIV Original Translatiion)  HE (God) determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.)

Several years ago when I was looking for a new home near where my secular job was moving, I quickly found a tudor-style house which I really liked. But when I submitted an offer to buy that house I learned that another offer had been accepted by the sellers just 30 minutes before they received my offer. It was hard for me to recover from not being able to buy that house. 

 

The house I was living in at the time had already sold, so I needed to find another house. But as I looked at other houses, none interested me like that tudor-style house. 

 

Finally, one evening I poured out how I felt to God.   (Psalm 62:8 Trust in HIM at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before HIM: God is a refuge for us. Selah.) 

 

And I asked God to please give me wisdom about finding a house to buy.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 

 

After praying, a thought came to my mind by the Holy Spirit to go through flyers I had collected from each of the houses I had looked at. There were 8-10 houses. 

 

I started going through the flyers, one by one. As I reviewed each house, something about the house was drawn to my attention by the Holy Spirit showing it wouldn't work for me ... except one house. I was shown nothing that would be a problem for me with this one house. 

 

I made arrangements to go see that house again. As I went through the house the second time, my attention was drawn to things I liked very much about the house, but hadn't noticed when I first saw it. I purchased this house.

 

A few weeks after moving into this house, at the grocery store I saw the seller of the tudor-style house. He told me how fortunate I was that I had not bought their house. The new roof that had been put on that house shortly before it was sold had not been installed correctly and when heavy rains came, water poured into the house. The people who bought the house were left with a terrible mess to deal with. 

 

And not long after that, the small neighborhood where the tudor-style house was located landed up in a court battle with a developer over proposed new development. 

 

I was very grateful to God for having been spared these problems. 

 

The house I was led to buy has worked out so well for me. I've lived here more than 20 years and have enjoyed it very much. 

 

In 2018 when I was led by God to have a bedroom and handicap-accessible shower added to the main level of the house, the layout of this house allowed me to make these additions relatively easily. Although I didn't know it at the time I started the renovations, Joan would move into that area right after they were finished in February 2019. 

 

God gave me wisdom in which house would be best for me at the time I bought it and also years in the future!

I heard this scripture last night:

John 16:33 (Jesus says)… In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Romans 6:22-23   But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ (The Word)  our Lord.

I am very grateful to God for sacrificing his Son Jesus so that I may have eternal life if I continue to follow God as long as I live. I never want to forget who has saved my life and sacrificed His Son for me, that keeps me going and humble!

There was a time when our washer wasn’t working and we needed to get a new one. Meanwhile I would have to take my laundry to the laundromat or someone else’s house. We did get a new washer, but my husband wasn’t getting it hooked up so that I could use it.

 

One day I was so filled with anger over this. I couldn’t get it under control. All day long I just kept crying out to God, asking Him to help me get rid of this anger. Toward later afternoon or evening I did get more settled. My son came to visit and I was so glad I was able to be calm and not say anything about the situation.

 

The next day, I was totally okay, the anger was completely gone! I still had to pack up my laundry and take it somewhere else to do, but I was okay with it, no anger. God had really done a work in me I couldn’t do myself. Then very shortly after this, probably a couple days, my husband did hook up the washer.

CHURCH GATHERING 

IN COLORADO SPRINGS:  

July 22-26, 2024

We would love to have you join us!

We are going to try to conduct these meetings as Paul said to do when we gather as the church:

I Corinthians 14:26  How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm (prayer), hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

We will depend on God to draw ( out of each of us edifying things to help the church see God.  We will depend on God to give each individual what he or she needs.  We believe God will increase our faith in HIM by the words brought forth by individuals who attend.  No messages will be pre-planned.  We will trust God to bring forth what HE wants us to hear through one another as the Holy Spirit, Who is in us, reminds individuals of scripture or stories of that which God has done in their lives and they share those things with the group.  This is what the gathering of the church was supposed to be!

I Corinthians 14:31   For ye may all prophesy (share) one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

This should be very exciting!  (And it should end up being led by God and therefore what God wants us to hear!)

And in the Bible, Jesus says to us:

Matthew 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in MY name, there am I in the midst of them.
