* Instruction in Righteousness: Revelation 15-16

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
⁴ Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

⁵ And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

⁶ And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

⁷ And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.


Revelation 16

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.

³ And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

⁴ And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
⁹ 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.

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.

¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

¹⁷ 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.

That which we set our mind upon

Ezekiel 24:25 ... Ezekiel, the prophet, spoke of ...

"the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds" 

*****

We deliberately set our minds ... and we are able to change where we set our minds ...

At this point in time, my mind is set upon the Bible and exhorting the church as my assignment given me by God.

*****

We exercise ourselves in godliness, says Paul. That is profitable for this life, and the next life.

I Tim. 4:7-8 ... But refuse profane (secular) and old wives' fables (superstitions), and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

II Tim. 2:14-19 ... Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are HIS. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

The Lord reward you according to your work ... whether good or evil.

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Jesus said:

Matthew 12:33-37    Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

(If I hear evil coming out of my mouth, which I sometimes do, then I know I have allowed a bad seed into my heart by failing to pray over something that troubled me or something that offended me.  I can then pray and God corrects my heart.)

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

*****

We store up good treasure in our heart ... or we store up evil treasure in our heart.

Whether good or evil, that which we take into our heart will at some point come out of our mouth.

Learn to listen to what you speak and you can judge your heart!

Everything is corrected through prayer.

Also it helps to balance our day so we get plenty of rest.

Read sections of Bible and think of what we are being told in those sections.

When Pam and I compiled that NT, we put stars separating the concepts in some of the chapters.  I find it helps me concentrate if I read the concepts between the 5 stars.   Then I try to stop and think of that which the scripture is saying in that section and I can reinforce myself or adjust myself as needed.

For example:

*****

Matthew 4:17-22    

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And he saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him.

And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed Him.

*****

I stop and ask myself:  What did I just read?  What is this telling me?

This section of scripture is an exhortation to pay attention when Holy Spirit brings a concept or idea or scripture to my mind.  

I notice how in both examples they followed Jesus immediately.

Devil tries to steal thoughts and ideas God brings to us.  

I like to try to grab hold fast and think on that which I feel I'm being told by God.  And then act on it when needed, for doing what you are told helps you to hold onto that word and live that word, making that word a part of your own life.

God does speak to each of us who belong to HIM by HIS Spirit who brings thoughts, concepts, and ideas to our minds as we go through the day.

Often when I miss a word, it is repeated to me again giving me another opportunity to focus on that concept or to do that thing.

This is the reason we put those 5 stars separating concepts in the chapters of Bible, is to remind us to stop and think about that which the Bible is saying to us.

* Instruction in Righteousness: Revelation 14

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with HIM an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads.

² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

³ And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

⁴ These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

⁵ And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

⁶ And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

⁷ Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to HIM; for the hour of HIS judgment is come: and worship HIM that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

⁸ And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

⁹ And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, ¹⁰ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

¹⁶ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

¹⁹ And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

²⁰ And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

The ignorant ...

In reading through Bible, a verse of scripture caught my attention where God spoke of "the ignorant."

Paul used the word "ignorant" in the following verse.

I Thess. 4:13 ... 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.

ignorant means:   lack of knowledge

*****

I come across people all the time who have lack of knowledge concerning Bible ... and often I share Bible with them ... (often these are church people)

They are "ignorant" of the Word of God, while going in the ways that the world considers wise.

Most people know little or nothing about what God says in the Bible.

II Tim. 3:16-17 ... All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

We do not read by the letter of the law but by the Spirit: We will be reading Bible and a word or verse will stand out to us that day. We stop and look into the definition of that word or we take that verse and consider what God is saying to us by that verse because we believe the Bible is the Word of God.

After considering that verse that is brought to our mind by the Holy Spirit, often we are reminded of something we have done. That Word might confirm to us what we did is the way of God. Or we might see that we need to make changes in order to bring our way in line with that Word. (This is part of being led by the Spirit of God. Romans 8)

*****

As we well know, the world does not consider the Bible at all. They are "ignorant" of the Bible.

When confronted with this, I often speak the truth of Bible on the subject to that person and frequently after speaking, I will copy the scripture on that subject and send the scripture to that person giving that person opportunity to be stopped in the way of this world and agree with the word of God on the matter at hand, "if God gives the person a mind to repent."

I give the person a chance to come out of darkness into light, to leave "ignorance" of their worldly wisdom and to go in the way of God in the issue of this life. (Very often these are church going people.)

*****

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.  Titus 3:10-11

Heretick is one who will not conform nor submit to the power of God.

So Paul says, after the first and second admonition, reject that person if he will not adjust to the word of God.

We have to learn to just walk away from such and leave that person alone. No need to fret ourselves over that person.

And by walking away from him when we see this, we choose to live in peace, following God.

Stay free so you can serve God.

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

After I was born again in 1975, in the night as I slept, God transported me into heaven.  I was with God, with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit.  (no images ... a spiritual experience)  

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

A few nights later, the exact same thing happened again.

I believe with this I was ordained by God as a minister in the offices of apostle and prophet which I was to be used by God in the end time church.

Also I believe with this I was equipped with that which would be needed for me to do the work of the ministry to which I was called by God, apostle and prophet.

I was made "one" with the Word of God and that was essential for the work God would have me to do later.

Of course, I read the Bible constantly and did the scriptures as the Holy Spirit led me, but that early experience was crucial in the trials that were to come to me in the ministry offices.

*****

After that, one thing I had to continually do is stay free to be able to serve God according to HIS will for me.

New Testament prophets often see sin in that which other ministers are doing and have to deliver messages to ministers in churches to try to bring them back to God's way in that which they are doing in the church.

It is important to stay free to be able to deliver these messages.

Also the entanglement of this world could be a serious problem affecting your ability to deliver the word from God.

Paul warned Timothy.

II Timothy 2:1-7   Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 

(Before you can teach others, you must partake of the things of God such as faith in God and belief in the various scriptures.)

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

*****

My mother had a dream where I had a large white bus-like vehicle I was travelling in.  I was constantly guarding that vehicle.

I saw that as the ministry to which I was assigned.  I have constantly guarded my calling, avoiding things and people who would interfere with the ministry.

*****

There are religious types who would stop the message we have from God, if possible.

I've experienced this several times.

We cannot afford to be in bondage to them.

The Jews tried to stop Peter and the other apostles from speaking of Jesus as the Messiah.

We have end-time messages which the church world and the ministers at churches often hate.

We go through similar struggles as Peter did in dealing with the Jews who tried to stop the message of God.

*****

In the 1980's, I was on radio in USA.  

After God began showing me sins in various ministries and I began speaking judgment messages to the church on my radio broadcasts, the manager of the radio station in Seattle said to me: "Joan, you have many good messages.  Just speak those.  If you keep speaking these judgment messages, I don't know what is going to happen to you.  We might have to put you off the air." 

Without any thought, I replied:  "George ... if I don't speak the message I believe to be from God, then I don't have a message and I may as well  be off the air."

*****

A pastor in a church in Colorado wrote me and said:  "Don't ever try to come to my church."

When I was looking for a church to attend in Clovis, NM (USA) where I lived, I called a pastor of a non-denominational church and told him I was interested in attending his church.  (No intention to try to speak there.  I just wanted to have a church I could go to.)

As I recall, this pastor came to my house to visit with me.  I don't recall anything that either of us said but I had planned to go to his church the next Sunday morning.

I bought an appropriate dress and was very excited to get to attend church.

On Friday, pastor called me and said:  "You know that thing about coming to our church.  I've decided I don't want you to do that."

*****

You may find it hard to imagine such things could happen, but I've encountered this several times.

Recently a pastor in Philippines said he shared message with his church group saying they should not call a minister "Reverend."   (No such thing in Bible where any man called himself "Reverend.") 

According to him, the people became furious and ordered him out of their denomination.  He lived on church property and they told him to leave within the week.

*****

It is the end-time apostasy in the church groups... the falling away from scripture to set up another doctrine.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4    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; 

(Churches would fall away from scripture and set up another doctrine.)

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.

*****

I sent the following to this man who identifies himself as a pastor.

5-25-18

To:  Allan

I don't believe you will find any church group who will support you if you speak truth from God.

You will have far more peace and freedom to speak as God wills if you do like the apostle Paul.

Work at secular job for a living and preach in spare time.

Joan Boney

*****

Jesus spoke the following to the 11 disciples after HIS crucifixion and resurrection:

Matthew 28:19-20  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

If we can't teach that which God shows us because we are bound to a specific church group, then we fail to do the above scripture, for we must be free to speak to the church that which God has opened our eyes to see.

 

We negate the entire direction of Jesus if we are limited by the church in that which we speak to the church.  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: 

 

We cannot speak all of those things HE has said to us unless we stay free from the control of church groups and religious hierarchy.

 

As I said to the radio station manager who wanted me to change the message in order to stay on the air:

 

"George ... if I don't speak the message I believe to be from God, then I don't have a message and I may as well be off the air."

 

If we can only speak those messages which are approved by man then we don't have a message to speak.

 

The apostle Paul said:

 

Galatians 1:10  For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

 

The blog, at this point in time, allows me to speak the messages I believe God wants you to hear and I speak freely those messages which is all that matters to any real minister of God.

* Instruction in Righteousness: Revelation 13

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

² And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

³ And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

⁴ And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

⁵ And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

⁹ If any man have an ear, let him hear.

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹¹ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

¹² And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

¹³ And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

¹⁴ And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

¹⁵ And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom.  Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:  for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore six.

Hebrews 3:1-9

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to HIM (to God) that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

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. (all things were created by HIM, by the WORD)

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

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

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.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 


Comments by Joan Boney ... They saw the works of God 40 years as God led them through the wilderness and cared for them, supplying every need. They saw God part the Red Sea. They saw God bring the Red Sea over Pharaoh and his men and drown them in the Red Sea. They saw God feed them with manna from heaven. They saw God bring water out of a rock to give them drink....

Often when I am tempted or discouraged, I stop and remember what I've seen God do in my life.

How can I doubt when I think on that which God has done.

It is important to reflect on these things to enable us to hold fast in times when we are tempted.

God says ... 

Hebrews 3:10-11  Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known MY ways. So I sware in MY wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

There is a rest provided by God through HIS Word to us... We cease from our own works when we remember what God has done. This brings us into rest in believing.

Galatians 5:26     Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

*****

Two scriptures to consider.

I Corinthians 6


9-12    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Hebrews 10

26-31  If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

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

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?

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.

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

*****

There is a severe penalty for those who are forgiven sin and then continue doing that sin.

* Instruction in Righteousness: Revelation 12

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: ² And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

³ And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. ⁴ And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

⁵ And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

⁷ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, ⁸ And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him
.
¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹² Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

¹⁴ And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

¹⁵ And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

¹⁶ And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Devil as a roaring lion seeks whom he may devour ... RESIST him

I Peter 5:8-9 ... Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

*****

Resist devil  ... We resist devil by turning to God in prayer and laying the issue out before God, asking God for help. Then if God gives us a scripture or information, we focus on that as our foundation in the matter at hand.  As we think on what God gives us, devil flees from us.

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:

Destruction was everywhere.

A meeting was going on.  A man was speaking to a room filled with people.  I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said:  "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."

The first man resumed speaking.

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole.  A gas was coming out of the speaker.  I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people.  It was coming directly toward us!

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!

I looked at the man seated next to me.  He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group.  But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive.  He was already dead!

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.

God was showing me the anarchy that was already going on in our church groups

Scriptures

I want to get scripture more deeply inside me and I know we can do that by meditating throughout the day on key scriptures. 

You can put scriptures into an email to yourself so when you open your email throughout that day, those scriptures will be there and this will give you more opportunity to think on those scripture and do them.
