Podcast: The downfall of Solomon

 

I Kings 9  (God speaks to Solomon)

3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before ME: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put MY name there for ever; and MINE eyes and MINE heart shall be there perpetually.

4 And if thou wilt walk before ME, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep MY statutes and MY judgments:

5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

6 But if ye shall at all turn from following ME, ye or your children, and will not keep MY commandments and MY statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for MY name, will I cast out of MY sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

💥💥💥

8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?

9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

I Kings 11

1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;

2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept MY covenant and MY statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

13  Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David MY servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

💥 The commandment of the Lord for the New Testament Church.

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.

The divorced woman has 2 options, according to the commandment of the Lord:

  * remain unmarried

  * or be reconciled to her husband

If she remarries, she commits adultery and the man who marries that divorced woman commits adultery, says Jesus.

Matthew 5:32  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.

If her husband dies, she can remarry.  This is the only way she can remarry without committing adultery.  God intended the woman to be pure.

I Corinthians 7:39  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.

(If her husband dies and she chooses to remarry, it must be to another Christian.)

The world thinks rules for men and women are the same.  That is not true in the case of divorce and remarriage in the sight of God.

If the wife is unfaithful, the husband has grounds to divorce the wife and possibly remarry.  But if he remarries a divorced woman, then he commits adultery.

💥💥💥

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

1 And HE (Jesus) arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto HIM again; and, as HE was wont, HE taught them again.

2 And the Pharisees came to HIM, and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM.

3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

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.

The apostle Paul explains to the men that at the time of sexual intercourse the two become one flesh, even if they 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.

The Sadducees came to trap Jesus.  

Luke 20

Then came to HIM certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked HIM,

28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

32 Last of all the woman died also.

33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 For HE is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto HIM.

💥💥💥

Mark 10

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.

💥 The Great White Throne ... Where God judges.

Revelation 20

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

💥💥💥

In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks of the book of life as follows:

Revelation 3:5  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.

By this scripture, we see that our name can be cast out of the book of life.

We overcome by turning to God in prayer in all things.  By connecting with God.  By agreeing with scripture and living that scripture, abiding in the Word of God to the end.

We set ourselves to do right in the sight of God.  Thus we live in God's righteousness.

We conform ourselves to scriptures, the Word of God, in the Holy Bible.  Not just speaking the scriptures but understanding the scriptures through God and living those scriptures and having the scriptures in our own heart.  And we care about the scriptures above all things, even above our own lives.

Jesus even went to the cross to fulfill the scriptures.

Matthew 26  

51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to MY Father, and HE shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

💥💥💥

We do not live as people of this world live.  We do not live as the apostate church lives where they cast away scriptures which they do not prefer and set up other doctrines to please themselves and to approve sinners inside the church itself.

When Jesus returns HE will judge the apostate churches and they will be destroyed.

2 Thessalonians 2

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Podcast: Proverbs 31 / Wisdom

 

 

 

Angels praise God for sending HIS judgments on the sinners of this world and the apostate churches.

God destroys this heaven and earth:

2 Peter 3:10

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Proverbs 31

1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

(She is dedicated to her work.)

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. 

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

💥💥💥

God created the woman to be an "help-meet" for her husband.

Genesis 2

18  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

It is a really beautiful thing when a woman understands this and does this!

💥💥💥💥💥

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.

💥 Pam Padgett: An answer to prayer concerning a medical problem

Over the past 9 months I've been to many medical appointments while being treated for cancer. (Recent tests show the cancer is now gone.) At most of these appointments, my blood pressure was taken and was considered to be "high". The nurse usually suggested waiting 5-10 minutes and taking another reading ... and often the reading was even higher! 

 

I have a wrist blood pressure monitor at home. When I take my blood pressure at home, its in the "normal" range. When I've told this to nurses, they usually just noted their high reading and suggested I discuss this with my primary care provider.  One suggested my wrist monitor may need to be re-calibrated.   

One nurse got very concerned and called a doctor to get approval to give me some medicine before she would take me to the area for chemotherapy. As that nurse grew more and more concerned, my blood pressure really increased!

 

Overall, this blood pressure issue kept coming up and I didn't see a way to keep this from happening, although I didn't think there was a real problem.

 

Recently I went to a new primary care provider, a Physician's Assistant named Jamie.  

 

Before going to this appointment I had talked with God about this blood pressure matter and had the thought to take my wrist monitor and check it against the reading at Jamie's office. 

 

So at the appointment, after the nurse took my blood pressure (which was high) I started putting my wrist monitor in place and explained that I wanted to see if it showed a similar reading to what the nurse had gotten.  Although the nurse was starting to leave the room, she stopped and watched me, saying she wanted to make sure I was using the monitor correctly. As I put my feet flat on the floor and lifted my arm so the monitor was at the same level as my heart, she said "You're doing that exactly right".  She stayed until my monitor gave a reading.  The nurse saw that my monitor gave the same reading she had received with her equipment.  

 

Jamie and I discussed my blood pressure and I explained to her that it is in the "normal" range at home using the same wrist monitor we had just verified was accurate with their equipment. Jamie suggested waiting a little bit and then the nurse would take my pressure again. As usual, my pressure was even higher! which the nurse reported back to Jamie. 

 

While the nurse talked with Jamie, I prayed about what to do and had the thought to tell Jamie that before starting blood pressure medicine, I would like to take my blood pressure at home for 30 days and keep records of the findings and send them to her. 

 

When she returned to the exam room, Jamie said she thought it would be good for her to prescribe a mild blood pressure medicine. I told her the plan I had been impressed with after praying. She agreed to do this, but wanted me to send the results after 2 weeks instead of 30 days. I agreed to do this. 

 

So for the next 2 weeks, I took my blood pressure at home each day and noted the results, and sent these readings to Jamie at the end of 2 weeks.

 

She responded that the readings look great and that no blood pressure medicine is needed.

 

I smiled, knowing this plan was from God and had freed me, not only from unnecessary medicine, but I think will also help me with future medical appointments with other doctors.   Now I can let them know that my primary care provider is satisfied that there is not a blood pressure problem.

 

(A rather fun note ... One nurse told me they call a rise in blood pressure when in medical settings like I was seeing "white coat syndrome"! )

*** 

I was diagnosed with high grade bladder cancer in September 2022.  In April 2023, tests showed the cancer was completely gone!  God gave me several dreams to show me what to do during this time.  

Even though 5 medical people on my case said I was not an ideal subject for the type of medical treatment I was choosing, because I felt God was leading me after prayer, I chose this treatment and the medical people agreed to treat me this way. To read this story, click here.

Podcast: The fall of Babylon

 

 

Revelation 18

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Comments by Joan Boney:

I could not imagine Babylon destroyed in one hour until 2020 and I saw Coved 19 shut down Times Square in New York City.  People and auto traffic ceased and ruin and stillness prevailed.  Then I saw the fall of Babylon!

The time comes when the glory man has created for himself vanishes and God reigns.  This is the fall of Babylon.

Jeremiah 9

23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth ME, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

💥 The Bible warns us concerning involvement in lawsuits against brothers in Christ.

I Corinthians 6

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

(God will repay you.)

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

💥 As we wait for Jesus, the Bible tells us to "live in peace, without spot and blameless."

 

2 Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

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.

James 4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

A neighbor asked me if I approve homosexuals and lesbians.

I told her, "No, I do not."  And I gave her these scriptures.

Romans 1

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;

God showed me this:  If the subject of homosexual or lesbian comes up, always give them what the Bible says about this.  Give the exact scripture when asked.

It is is not my opinion.  It is what the Holy Bible says.

I conform my thinking to what the Bible says.

This is what God says about homosexuals and lesbians.

💥💥💥

Neither do I approve fornication or adultery or drunkenness nor extortion nor revilers (those who speak abusive one to another)

For this is what the Bible says:

I Corinthians 6:9-10

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.

As a Christian, I agree with and follow the Holy Bible.

💥💥💥

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:

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

(I do not wish people "well" unless I know they have the Spirit of God and follow the Word of God.)

Titus 3

9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Podcast: One will be taken, one left, when Jesus returns. Will we be ready the day Jesus returns?

 

 

 Matthew 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.

37 But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Comments by Joan Boney:

I have been called by God and was given the spiritual gift of "exhortation".   

To "exhort" means:  to urge the church by advice and warning.  (Romans 12:8)

Concerning "exhortation" we are told the following in the Bible.

Hebrews 3

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;

So "daily" I publish on our blog and present recorded Podcasts.

Hebrews 10:25  ...  but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Often the devil says to me:  "You write too much ... You speak too much."

But I read in the Bible to write and speak even more to the church as I see us approaching the return of Jesus for the sin and wickedness of this world will get even worse as we near the return of Jesus.

So I exhort the church "even more" as the Bible says to do.

💥💥💥

The devil would like me to stop doing this so he says in my ear, "They aren't listening to you.  They tire of you."

But I see by the scriptures in Hebrews 3 & 10 to exhort the church daily and to exhort them even more as the sin increases on this earth.

And I pray to be able to do this until I am removed from this earth.

Should I listen to devil and stop and Jesus returns, I will not be "ready" for I stopped my assignment and began to eat and drink with the wicked.

Matthew 24

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

So do the assignment which God has given you and continue doing that until Jesus returns to gather the elect.

(It is very simple.)

💥💥💥💥💥

💥 2 Timothy 3

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

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of WHOM thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

💥💥💥

Things will not get better but worse according to the apostle Paul.

And as we get nearer to the end of this world, the devil will be more rampant on this earth because he knows his time is short.

Revelation 12:12  ... 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.

💥💥💥

Churches will fall away from scriptures and antichrist will move in and the apostasy will be in church groups as they depart from specific scriptures.

2 Thessalonians 2

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) 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, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are churches leaving the scriptures.")

The Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, kept antichrist out of the churches.  But when churches departed from specific scriptures the door was opened for antichrist to move into those church groups.

Antichrist is not one man but is a "spirit."

The apostle John tells us this in the following scripture:

I John 4:3  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.

The apostle John told his own church group that there were already "many antichrists" that had come into their church group.

I John 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

When these "antichrist" people saw they could not bring in perverted doctrines, they left them.

19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

They began their own denominations, setting up their own doctrines, departing from many doctrines of Christ that are in the Holy Bible.

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

Acts 20:28-30  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

💥💥💥

Paul also explains that these antichrist individuals who refused the doctrines of Christ in the church would be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns to gather the followers of the Word.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The apostate churches of the end time.

Podcast: Proverbs 30 / Wisdom

 

 

 Proverbs 30

1 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.

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.

 Proverbs 31 will be presented on June 5 to give you time to adjust to and do the scriptures in this writing.

💥 Jesus says: "Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." (Mt. 24)

Comments by Joan Boney:

In 1980, my best friend was a woman who had been raised Baptist and as a young woman changed to Catholic in order to marry a young Catholic man in Italy.

When they returned to USA, he divorced her.

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.

She then began to attend a non-denominational church.  She apparently knew the scriptures concerning divorce/remarriage for she kept it a secret that she had been divorced and presented herself as an unmarried woman to the church.  

A man at the church had a wife and 3 children and his wife contacted cancer and died.

In time, this man wanted to remarry and began to consider the women at the church and selected 2 women to date. Donna was one of those women he dated, but he did not know she had been married prior to this.

He began dating her and she was the woman he selected to marry.  She then told him she was divorced but in spite of knowing the scripture, they married.

After I met them, at one point I asked Hal, "If you had known Donna had been married and was divorced, would you have dated her?"

He very thoughtfully answered, "No.  I don't believe I would have."

(Apparently he had been taught what Jesus said in the New Testament Bible in Matthew 5:32 where Jesus said, "Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.")

I've never heard this scripture taught at any church that I have attended.

But the Word of God stands as truth whether it is taught or not taught to a church group for we can all read this in the New Testament Bible.

Hal knew the truth but chose to go against the scripture as a Christian regardless, setting aside scripture for Donna. And Donna chose to set aside scripture for Hal.

God will sort through this and judge with righteous judgment.

2 Corinthians 5

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

After we are born again, it is such a serious thing to go against the Word of God.

Hebrews 10:26  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.

The Word of God must be more important to us than anything or anyone.

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.

This scripture, the commandment of the Lord, should be taught at each church.  But I've never heard it taught at any church.

Nevertheless, the scripture stands and Christians are responsible for the instructions presented in the New Testament Bible.

The apostle Peter says:

2 Peter 2   

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (The Word of God), they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

💥 The Lord is my shepherd;

A shepherd watches over the sheep ... feeding them, guiding them, protecting them.

Who is our shepherd?  Not a dead person who is asleep who can not see us or hear us as some worldly people think.

Our shepherd is The Lord, the resurrected Jesus Christ who is the son of God and is The Word, having been with God from the creation of heaven and earth.

HE speaks to us today by HIS own Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth.

We know and believe these things because the Bible tells us so.

John 10  (Jesus says)

27 MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand.

29 MY Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.

(No man, no spirit, no circumstance)

***

4 And when HE putteth forth HIS own sheep, HE goeth before them, and the sheep follow HIM: for they know HIS voice.

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

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

Romans 8:26-27  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.

27 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.

Romans 8:33-34  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.  34 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.

(Both Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us who belong to God.)

💥💥💥

Because we have heard what God says by The Holy Spirit and we know the Word, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and by our personal experiences with God, we believe by faith.

And we endure, holding fast to our faith in God by HIS Word to us.

Podcast: Strangers and pilgrims on this earth

 

 

Hebrews 11

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

(This earth is only our temporarily dwelling.  We often watch what they do on this earth but really we are not a part of that which worldly men do. We are as "strangers and pilgrims" on the earth.)

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE hath prepared for them a city.

💥💥💥

The new heaven and new earth which God has prepared for HIS people and which contains only righteousness.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.  

💥💥💥

At the end of this world, God destroys this heaven and earth with fire:

2 Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

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.

💥💥💥

I John 2

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
