💥 Recently a woman in our own little church group tried to deceive us when Pam and I tried to help her.

 Comments by Joan Boney:

I was devastated by this.  This is exactly the type of deception that will come in the end times and if possible will sweep away both the deceiver in the church and the one trying to help that deceiver.

Matthew 24   (Jesus says)

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

21 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.

💥💥💥

During this horrible time of deception from our church member, I was greatly troubled.  I felt I could share it with another woman in our church group, who might be a prophet, so I called her.  She said, "Why don't you just leave her alone and let her hear from God what to do?"

If I do that, I deny the call of God on my life as an apostle and prophet to the church.

💥💥💥

The apostle Paul said to the elders of the church at Ephesus:

Acts 20  

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

 

💥💥💥

God used the following section of scripture to train me in the work of a prophet to the New Testament church.

Ezekiel 3  (God speaking to the prophet Ezekiel)

4 And HE said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them. 5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; (today to the NT Church) 

 

6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

10 Moreover HE said unto me, Son of man, all MY words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

 

💥💥💥

I really thought this woman I called from our little church group was a prophet. But her speech gave me counsel that would have destroyed me had I followed what she told me.

She had just shared a message and dream about intercession.  Now she counsels me not to intercede between evil and the woman who is living in deception in our church group.

That made me more sad than I was with the woman who tried to deceive us.

This is exactly the type of problem we will have in the end time which tries to destroy us.  It comes from those who say, "Jesus is Lord."

Psalm 55

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

 

💥💥💥

Perilous times:  2 Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

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

💥💥💥💥💥

💥 The Bible shows us a minister of Jesus Christ has the right and power to reject the offerings of an evil person.

 

 Acts 8

 

 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

In the past, I have often refused to receive offerings from individuals when I perceived they had a form of evil in their giving.

💥 Pour out your heart before God

Pam Padgett, member of the body of Christ

 

In the night I woke with several things going through my mind ... concern about a woman in our church group who would like to move to Colorado but had been going about this in a deceptive way and is now restructuring her thinking and needs help in what to do now ... concern about a Christian man we know who is experiencing anxiety as he leaves his job as a fireman and begins working full-time in his (previously) part-time business ... intercession for Joan as she deals with various people in the church as well as warning the church about that which is coming ... concern about a physical problem I'm having, constipation for about 5 days ... what to say to contractors who have said we don't owe them anything for work they did to help us and we want to give them money for this.

 

I was reminded of what we're told in Psalm 62:8 about pouring out our heart before God. 

 

Psalm 62:8 Trust in HIM at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before HIM: God is a refuge for us.

So I started talking with God about each individual thing going through my mind, telling HIM how I felt about each aspect of the matter and asking for HIS help.  In a couple matters, I had a specific request which I asked for (Philippians 4:6-7). 

 

Pouring out my heart before God like this greatly helped and calmed me, and I was then able to sleep.

 

I was also given ideas on how to handle some of the things.  

 

*For the constipation, to take Dulcolax soft chews with warm water. This took care of the problem the following morning. 

 

*For the man with anxiety, to share with him about pouring out our heart before God with what concerns us. 

 

*For the contractors, to send checks with a note that although they didn't charge us for the work they did, we appreciate what they did and want to send this gift.

 

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

 

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you. 

 

Also, I've been reminded of something that happened to me a few years ago in which the devil tried to stop me from pouring out my heart before God like this, but the Holy Spirit brought truth which enabled me to do this ...
 

One morning in 2020 shortly after I woke, thoughts of what I needed to do were going round and round in my mind.  It was like bees buzzing around and around.  

I said to myself  "I need to sit down and talk with God about all these things and see how HE wants me to handle them."   

Then a thought came (from devil) ... "You have too many other things to do.  You don't have time to talk with God." 

For just a second I was stunned.  "I don't?"  

But immediately the Holy Spirit rose up in me and said, "You need help, and God is your help." 

That's right!   

I sat down and started talking with God about the things needing to be done that were going through my mind.

As I talked with God it became clear that there were only 2 things going round and round in my mind, but the way they were going round and round in my mind it seemed like a lot more.  And neither of these things even needed to be done that day! 

As I talked with God, I was astounded at how quickly I was completely calmed.  

I began thanking God for the amazing peace that had come over me so quickly.  

Then I was reminded of the following ...  

Philippians 4:6-7   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Exactly what had just happened!

Comments by Joan Boney ...

John 10   Jesus says:

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Voice of "strangers", devils:

- cause us to panic

- filling us with fear

- driving us rather than leading us

- steal, kill, destroy  (devil) 

- turn us from Word of God

- turn us from praying to God, ("no need to pray")

- devils often hit us with confusion and it is like we are being slapped, boxed on one cheek and then another

- confusion, turmoil, no joy, no peace (often making us think we have to act immediately or future will be impossible)

Notice how "negative" thoughts from devils can be.

***

Voice of God, Holy Spirit:

- leads us

- gives us options which we have never considered

- gives us information so we can make godly choice

- comforts us

- "Is it true?"  Spirit of Truth

God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light.  Matthew 11

We know the voice of God and we can recognize the voice of "strangers".

💢 Continuing to meditate on scriptures concerning with peace from the Bible. God leads us by peace.

Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

 Recently a friend of mine in Lubbock, Texas, asked Sandra Chupick how I am doing living in Colorado.  

Sandra told her how happy I am here.

I have been focusing on meditating on various scripture concerning living in peace.

As a result of doing this, I've been conscious of things that cause peace and joy and avoiding those things that stir me up to "trouble" and "anxiety"and have started avoiding them.

 

When we do what God wants us to do, we find we are experiencing much peace and joy. When our flesh leads us to do things, this is not peace, but trouble and anxiety.

Podcast: Lk. 12:40 Jesus says: Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not

 

The important thing for each of us is not so much "when" Jesus comes, the day and such, but that which is important for each human is staying ready for the coming of Jesus.

God has clearly shown us the following:

2 Peter 3:14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Lk. 21:33-36   Jesus says:  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Hebrews 4 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into HIS rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

² For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

³ For we which have believed do enter into rest, as HE said, As I have sworn in MY wrath, if they shall enter into MY rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

⁴ For HE spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all HIS works.

⁵ And in this place again, If they shall enter into MY rest.

⁶ Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

⁷ Again, HE limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts. ⁸ For if Jesus had given them rest, then would HE not afterward have spoken of another day.

⁹ There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

¹⁰ For he that is entered into HIS rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

¹¹ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in HIS sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of HIM with whom we have to do.

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

¹⁵ For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

💥 Isaiah 57:1

💥  The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

 

💥💥💥

 

The sins of this world get worse and worse and more open before all and it is very difficult for those who are righteous to see what they do.

The apostle Paul says:  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)

 

💥💥💥

Churches today fall away from certain scriptures and set up doctrines for men to follow which are opposite from Bible.

It is hard to encounter this in church people.

I am exceedingly happy and joyful and peaceful because God has enabled me to pay my bills even without taking a salary from the church.  I have the right to take a salary but choose not to do so as Paul choose not to do so.

The Love of Money is the root of all evil.  (I Timothy 6:10)

 

The USA government sends me approximately $1000 per month.  With that I pay my personal needs: food, raiment

 

The ministry offerings pay for my housing expenses as an ordained minister.  (I pay $1000 a month for my room at Pam Padgett's house.  She doesn't want me to do this but I insist.  She uses that money as needed for upkeep of the property, taxes, bills, utilities, TV, internet.)

 

I lack nothing.  (I don't want anything and I don't need anything.) 

💥💥💥

 

(Recently I saw a TV show on Netflix concerning Bernie Madoff, called "Madoff.")  3 episode series which I recommend to everyone.

 

Very recently I encountered great evil caused by a savings plan 40lK, which a woman chose to enroll in at her secular job.  It is a deferred tax payment plan which seems wise to people of this world and also places great temptation and eats at the soul of church people who choose to participate. As she did this plan for her years at work, she also deferred paying tithes.  Then when she wanted to move to another city and was confronted with needing to pay both taxed and tithes and it caused great grief to her.

 

(One woman in our church group fell into lying by withholding information from Pam and I and it all caused great grief and trouble to several other people who were trying to help her.)  She was blinded and didn't know what evil she did until we revealed it to her. (Then she repented.)

 

💥💥💥 

 

There are many worldly traps which lead to evil.

Therefore the apostle Paul says:

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Comments by Joan Boney:  

 

After several days of meditating on scriptures that are about peace, today I started to do something and realized as I did that I was "troubled" ... I stopped and went to something else.

 

Finally I'm beginning to be led by the peace of God.

It often takes many days to get a concept of God to the point of real power where I'm actually automatically doing that concept of the scripture and am being led by the scripture.

 

Peace is such an important way which God leads us.  We will continue looking at scriptures on Peace from the Bible.

Dream August 11, 2024
I was in the front row of the movie theater wrapped in a sleeping bag with only my face outside the bag. It was like a cocoon. I was doing nothing at all ..... just content in my bag. I did not move. A person in the second row came to pick and cut at a part of the cocoon/sleeping bag.   I did nothing but wondered what this person was doing. My husband came and moved me away from the second row person. He repaired the cocoon and sat next to me to guard me from any threat. 

 

When we do the Word from God to us, we build for ourselves a cocoon of protection. This is our dwelling ..... a dwelling of peace and rest. When something happens to disturb this, God brings distance from the threat, restores us and protects us from additional threats.

Podcast: Possess the land which God has given you

 

God has given to each of us an assignment to fulfill HIS purpose while we live on this earth.

In the Old Testament, God gave portions of lands to HIS people but they had to go up and possess that land though God had given it to them.

Deuteronomy 1

21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

💥💥💥

If you are married you have that land to which you tend day and night for the remainder of your life on this earth.

Each of us need God's wisdom to care for our assignment.

And God has promised to us:

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Hebrews 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

💥💥💥

God has given us all that we need to do that to which HE has assigned us.  There is no lack.  There is no want.  

We are well able, through God, who has given us HIS Holy Spirit to live in us and to teach us and to guide us.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church (to care for the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

We are well equipped by God to do all that God assigns for us to do.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and THY staff they comfort me.

5 THOU preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: THOU anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Hebrews 3 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

² Who was faithful to HIM that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

³ For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

⁴ For every house is builded by some man; but HE that built all things is God.

⁵ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

⁶ But Christ as a son over HIS own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

⁷ Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, ⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

⁹ When your fathers tempted ME, proved ME, and saw MY works forty years.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known MY ways.

¹¹ So I sware in MY wrath, They shall not enter into MY rest.)

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹³ But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

¹⁵ While it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
¹⁶ For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

¹⁷ But with whom was HE grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸ And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS rest, but to them that believed not?

¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

15 Thus will I accomplish MY wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

💥 Joan Boney: This scripture was called to my attention today

💥  Proverbs 1

  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn you at MY reproof: behold, I will pour out MY spirit unto you, I will make known MY words unto you.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of MY reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon ME, but I will not answer; they shall seek ME early, but they shall not find ME:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30 They would none of MY counsel: they despised all MY reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto ME shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Get ready.  Cleanse your way and repent of your wrong doing.  Jesus comes soon, perhaps in our lifetime.

 

Live in peace, without spot, and blameless.  2 Peter 3:14

 

God will judge each of us justly.  God will not be deceived by our works.

 

Everyone but Sandra showed a good heart, I think.

 

Sandra will not be permitted to handle the work of the ministry on the blog.  I am not accepting tithes from her.  I want no part of her money schemes.

 

She has shown me a hatred of giving.

Matthew 7:13-14  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 hear the Word ... few actually do that Word which they hear.

Dream July 24, 2024 

I was in a school building that looked OK on the surface but the internal stairwell had collapsed. The children were trying to climb over broken boards to get to the next floor. I was assisting them in climbing. I could see the teachers. The teachers were talking to each other and did not notice me or the children struggling. A couple of times they looked right at me. I called to them to alert them to the problem and saw no response. They could not see me or the problem.

 

This is the wisdom of men ....... they cannot see.

 

The Spirit says:

 

Matthew 15:14  Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

 

John 9:39  And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

 

We do not have any power to make anyone see things of the Spirit .... only the Holy Spirit of God has this power. Often those around us cannot see what we can see. This is not unusual because ....

 

1 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.

Podcast: When God speaks to us by HIS Spirit

 

The Word of God is all we need to do the situation at hand.

When we are sure God spoke to us telling us to do something, that is all we need.

Joshua 1:9  (God says:)  Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Ask yourself this:  "Did God tell me to do this?"

This is the anchor for our soul.

Can you recognize the Spirit of God when HE speaks to you?

Hebrews 2 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

² For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;  ³ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard HIM;

⁴ God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to HIS own will?

⁵ For unto the angels hath HE not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁶ But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that THOU visitest him?

⁷ Thou madest HIM a little lower than the angels; THOU crownedst HIM with glory and honour, and didst set HIM over the works of THY hands:

⁸ Thou hast put all things in subjection under HIS feet. For in that HE put all in subjection under HIM, HE left nothing that is not put under HIM. But now we see not yet all things put under HIM.

⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that HE by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

(Jesus had to be created a little lower than the angels for angels do not suffer fleshly pain as humans suffer.  Jesus had to suffer in HIS flesh to redeem our flesh to God.)

¹⁰ For it became HIM, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹¹ For both HE that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause HE is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹² Saying, I will declare THY name unto MY brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto THEE.

¹³ And again, I will put my trust in HIM. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given ME.

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, HE also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death HE might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;  ¹⁵ And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁶ For verily HE took not on HIM the nature of angels; but HE took on HIM the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷ Wherefore in all things it behoved HIM to be made like unto HIS brethren, that HE might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁸ For in that HE Himself hath suffered being tempted, HE is able to succour (assist) them that are tempted.

💥 Dream from Beth Martin - July 26, 2024

 

I was in a building where something  (not a person) was coming to kill and destroy someone else in the building. I was directing the avoidance action of moving from place to place ..... placing myself between the destroyer and the intended target. 

 

 The destroyer was breaking down walls, shooting bullets and emitting loud noises .... it was like a war zone .... the destroyer was in constant pursuit of the other person. It was terrifying. 

 

After quite awhile, the destroyer left. We got some rest. Then we could see the destroyer returning and braced ourselves for another battle ...... it was exhausting.  

 

I knew that if I did not continue the fight, the person I was protecting would be destroyed.

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

Pam Padgett reported a very serious dream to us recently as follows:

 

 Dream given to Pam Padgett on 8/23/24

I was with some other people in a car. A man was driving and I was in the backseat behind him. We were going south on a road and stopped at a traffic light.  We were in the far east-most lane. 

 

While looking out the front window, I saw a funnel cloud south of us in the distance and pointed it out to the others in the car. Then the funnel cloud extended on both sides. At first, I thought it was dissipating, losing strength. 

 

 But then, suddenly, we could see very strong winds damaging buildings on the west side of the road a little south from where we were. Buildings were very damaged and we saw papers, including checks, blowing around. Then I realized that when the funnel cloud looked to extend on both sides, we were probably seeing debris picked up by the tornado that extended toward the outer edges of the tornado. 

 

Our car was not affected by the winds at all. We didn't even feel the wind pushing against the car.  We just watched what was going on, the destruction in front of us.

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

We have multiple things going on right now.

 

💥  USA deeply in debt.  Last report I saw about this was USA was 37-Trillion Dollars in debt. 

 

💥  Credit card debt in USA enormously large ... largest in history.

 

💥  Armies firing missiles at Israel from two sides.  Hamas from left side of Israel and Iran sponsored Hezbollah terrorists from right side at border of Lebanon. 

 

Luke 21:  Jesus says: 20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

 

💥  Sins rampant in Christian type churches.  Falling away from many scriptures.  This is antichirst in church when church falls away from scriptures and sets up other doctrines opposite to Bible.

 

2 Thessalonians 2 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

(In 1982, I was reading the above verses and God said to me:  "The falling away spoken of by the apostle Paul was not of individuals leaving churches.  This "falling away" of the end time are churches leaving the scriptures and setting up anti-christ doctrines.)

💥  Open sins approved by nations and people of this world.

2 Timothy 3  (The apostle Paul says in Bible)

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

(They attend church and say they are Christians, but they deny the power of God by failing to do the Holy Scriptures.)

 

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

 

💥💥💥

Pam and I have no debt of any kind on any thing, including houses and car.

After I was born again, in 1975, God told me to "Get out of debt and stay out of debt."  (I did that and lived debt free from 1975 to present.  In Pam's dream, our car didn't even feel the wind from the storm.  I suspect one reason is we have no debt.)

But The Great Tribulation from God at the end of this world will come with the 14 plagues sent by God that come upon this world to punish this world for sins against God.  (Revelation 8, 9, 16)

 

💥💥💥

 

Jesus says in Bible that some of the "elect of God" will be here on this earth at the time of the great tribulation.

 

Matthew 24:

 

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

21 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.
