πŸ’₯ New Book: Chapter 11: "You can go down but I'm not going with you," I said to my mother and she straightened up

We hold fast to the end of this world or until we are taken off this earth or until we die.  We do not live here as a crawly sniffling trodden down person.
 
We overcome through God ... God is in us ... The Holy Spirit is in us ... We win over all things.  We ask God what to do.
 
It would be abominable to think of losing.

Recently two women in our own little church group failed to take thoughts captive and failed to try the spirit to see if the thoughts they had were from God and they began to go down and they also attacked me.

I said to myself, there is no way I'm going to communicate person to person with either of them.  "I just won't talk with them by phone."  They have the blog.  Let them get there or let them perish.

Then I began to think I was wrong... Then I saw 2 Timothy 3 again and I was shocked.
 
Paul says:
 
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.

I'm not wrong... I'm not going to be around church- going people who would destroy me with their ungodly ways.

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD
(the Word God says); and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

We can recognize the church people who love the world by this:  1 John 5:5-6  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

***

Psalm 1 ... continued

3 And he
(the one who continually delights in the Word of God) shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
 
(Plant yourself by the river of water, continually drinking of the Word of God. Basing what you do on what God says to do in Bible as-well-as by HIS Holy Spirit who brings to you mind ideas from God.  Think on these instructions.)

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Prove all things:  Hold fast that which is good.  (I Thess. 5:21)

Jesus said:
 
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Comments by Joan Boney:  As long as I live on this earth it is my purpose and calling by God to exhort the church ... sharing what God shares with me ... warning you with godly warning.
 
If you mishandle what I share from God, you destroy yourself.  But I'm purposed not to go down with you.

Usually people stop doing that which is destroying them and go back to the right way of God and save themselves after they are corrected by me.

But if they refuse godly correction, I will walk away just as the apostle Paul said to do.

I find few Christians do as John said and try the spirit to see if the idea is from God. They want to ignore the spirit instead.  But if they try to do that without trying that spirit, the idea carried by that evil spirit will go down into their heart and will at some time bear evil fruit.

We must "try the spirit" in a godly way.  I just say to that spirit, "Do you confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh?"  And I always hear, "Yes" or "No.  I do not speak anything further to that spirit.  I know what that spirit brought is not of God when that spirit answers, "No."

This is what the Bible says to do in I John 4, and this is what I do.

I John 4  (John says)

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
