πŸ’₯ Report on summer church Home Meeting in Colorado Springs


Comments by Joan Boney:
 
To me, one of the strongest concepts brought forth was the following warning:
 
πŸ’₯  Remember:  God knows the future.  Therefore be sure you seek God over any thing you plan and let God establish your thoughts, hopefully with the Word of God.  Then be sure you do that Word and not just hear that Word for it is the doer of the Word who is blessed.  You deceive your own self when you hear the Word and fail to do that Word.  Live in that Word for that causes the Word to be a part of you.
 
There is currently so much turmoil and hatred (especially in politics) and confusion and trouble,   we must be extremely diligent to do the following:
 
* Live in peace, without spot, and blameless ... as the apostle Peter told us in 2 Peter 3:14   Live according to truth of Bible.  Be sure the words we speak to others edifies them in truth of God making us blameless.

*  I often pray this over me:  Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
 
* I recommend that each of us carry with us a small notebook and jot down every negative thought that comes to us during each day ... and go to Bible through prayer and compare those negative thoughts with Bible and choose to believe Bible.  Taking Thoughts Captive
 
*  If we feel anger rising up in us over a report or news event, withdraw immediately and refuse anger and ask God to cleanse us.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  On the 2nd day of the meeting I was stricken with great fear .  I cried out to God for help and God brought the following to my memory:

2 Corinthians 3:5-6  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Revelation 13
 
1   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 and six.

Podcast: We pray. Then how do we know which ideas are from God?

 


The first thing God gave me to recognize ideas that HE brought to me was this:

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

If the plan or idea that comes is overly expensive and very difficult to do, I pray again about that matter for I do not believe it is a plan from God when it is a heavy burden.

Matthew 11  Jesus says

28 Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.

Here is a promise from God for us if we lack wisdom concerning how to do something.

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.  

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

James 3 shows us how to recognize the ideas that come from our flesh and from devils and also wisdom that is from above:

14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Revelation 12
 
1  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.

Podcast: Homosexuals/Lesbians: What the Bible says

 


Recently, the thought came to my mind, "Is there any place in the Bible where we are told there will be a rise in homosexual/lesbians in the last days?"

Immediately I was reminded of this scripture:

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.

Concerning being without natural affections:

Romans 1:26-28

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;

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Once my cleaning lady asked me, "But what about those homosexuals who say they were just born that way?"

I turned to God with this question and was reminded of the following:

Jesus said:

Mark 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

They were born male or female but God turned them over when they failed to acknowledge HIS truth.

Romans 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

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:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

From what the Bible says, we certainly should expect to see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the last days.

And we can see from the Bible God's thinking on this subject.

Deuteronomy 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

There is no place in either the Old or New Testament where God approves homosexuals or lesbians.  Sodom is given to us as one example of God's dealing with this issue.

Genesis 19  (God sends 2 angels to destroy Sodom)

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

(Angels have the form of natural men.)

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

(Homosexuals came from every quarter of the city of Sodom with the intention of having sex with the 2 men who came to Lot's house.)

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

(know them:  have sex with them)

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men (who were angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 And the men (the angels) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered, the men (angels) laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21 And he (the angel) said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

25 And HE overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife (Lot's wife) looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when HE overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

2 Peter 2

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

(Lot knew the deeds of the men of the city of Sodom were "wicked", see Genesis 19:7 )

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Genesis 13

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Before God destroys this present heaven and earth, we should see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the nations of this earth and in the approval shown them by the nations of this earth.

As Christians, we live in peace, knowing what we can expect to see is foretold by God in the Bible.

The perilous times of 2 Timothy 3 as stated in the Bible.

πŸ’₯ Pam Padgett: "What I believe"

 
I believe that God is, that HE exists.  
 
I believe that God created all things by HIS Word and that HE knows the end from the beginning.
 
I believe that the Word, Jesus, was in the world in the form of flesh for a time, and that HE died to pay for our sins, and then was resurrected by God.  I believe that Jesus is now at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.    

I believe we cannot be saved from our sins of ourselves, not of anything we or anyone else can do.  Our only hope is God and the way HE has provided, the redemption provided for us by the blood of HIS Son, Jesus. 
 
I believe the Holy Spirit of God is given to live inside each person who is called by God and believes the word given to us.    
 
I believe the Holy Spirit guides us, teaches us, convicts us of sin, reveals things of God to us, reminds us of what God has said, intercedes for us, comforts us.

I believe every word of God is true and right and never fails.  It will never pass away.

I believe that God doesn't leave me nor forsake me.  I can pray to God about all things and HE is able to get through to me and to help me, and that HE will do this.

I believe that God knows all things.  Nothing is hidden from God. 
 
I believe that the wisdom given to me by God is perfect, far better than what I or anyone else could come up with apart from God, and that I can ask God for HIS wisdom and HE will give it to me.  

I believe that nothing is impossible for God. 
 
I believe when we die we leave these bodies of flesh and are given spiritual bodies. 

I believe God will bring great tribulation on this earth and that this present world will be destroyed by God. 
 
I believe God creates a new heaven and a new earth where there is only righteousness, and there will be no sorrow, pain, death.  
 
I believe that Jesus will come in the clouds and send HIS angels to gather those who are HIS.  That the dead in Christ will rise first, and then those still alive, to meet Jesus in the air.  And that we will live forever with HIM.

Revelation 11  (Plague # 7)
 
1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of HIS Christ; and HE shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

36 As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
 
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us
 
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
 
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thoughts come from our own desires ... thoughts come from devils who want to destroy us ... and thoughts come from God who wants to help us and show us HIS way. 
 
We want to learn to choose those thoughts that are from God for this is life to us for now and for all eternity!

πŸ’₯ Joan Boney: "What I believe."


Our God created the heaven and the earth.  God SPOKE the Word  and The Word created what God spoke. The Word created it, from no previous materials. The Word caused it to be in existence. 

Everything was created by The Word.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.


***

Hebrews 11:3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, 
so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


Jesus Christ, The Word, the Son of God was there with God when the heavens and the earth was created and everything was created by Jesus , by The Word, as God spoke.  The Holy Spirit was also there on the face of the waters.  
 
(Genesis 2)

Everything that was created was created by "The Word" and without HIM was nothing created.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.

4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

At the appointed time, The Word came to the earth in the form of a man named Jesus, by the Holy Spirit.  He lived in the flesh as a man.  He suffered all things like men suffered, "yet without sin", for Jesus was not as other men because he was born of the Holy Ghost though HIS mother was flesh.

Hebrews 1

1 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 They shall perish; but THOU remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.


Matthew 24:35  (Jesus said) 
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.

***

Hebrews 4:15  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.

So Jesus was worthy to pay for our sins.

Romans 8

11 But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (make alive) your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Jesus and the Holy Spirit pray for us today.

Romans 8

26 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.

34 ...  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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The Bible was given to us by God and the scriptures are as God to me when the Holy Spirit leads me in them.

2 Timothy 3

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.

We will prosper and have good success in all that we do if we will meditate in the Word of God and do the Word of God.

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.

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.

(scornful:  those who think they are better than other people and make fun of others)

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he 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.

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.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Jesus says:

John 14:6 ... I (The Word) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


On April 1, 2024, I was awakened by God.  God was asking me questions.  God said to me, "What do you believe?"
 
God continued asking me what I believe about various subjects.
 
Then God showed me to begin our first meeting by having them write down what they believe. 
 
On June 1, 2024, God showed me to devote the remainder of meeting #1 to physical healing.
 
God often gives me open visions concerning physical healings.
 
When I was a new Christian, in 1975, I attended a small prayer group in my neighborhood.
 
The women were standing in a circle where they were praying for something or someone.  Their heads were bowed and their eyes were closed.  I heard these words, "Look up."  
 
When I opened my eyes and looked up, I saw an open vision as if God had taken a marks-a-lot pin and had drawn an outline of a body part on a blank wall. 
 
The women were still praying but God was speaking to me and I to HIM.
 
I said, "I know that is a body part but I don't know the name."  
 
God said to me, "Stomach." 
 
I excitedly recognize it and said, "Oh yeah ... that is like that old Pepto-Bismol TV commercial of a pink stomach."
 
When the women quit praying, I asked, "Does any one have a stomach problem?" One little woman began jumping up and down while waving her hands in the air.  In a very excited voice, she said, "I do ... I do!"
 
The other women laid hands on her and I assume she was healed.
 
***
 
From that time forward, when I attended the church Bible class, God would give me open visions, spiritual gift of Word of knowledge.
 
I Corinthians 12
 
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE
(God) will. 
 
I believe God  brought physical healings to some at yesterday's meeting in Colorado Springs.
 
I certainly expect many other problems to be healed by God during this week of meetings in Colorado Springs. 
 
Mark 16:18 ...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 
 
A promise of God.

Revelation 10

1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by HIM that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tonges.

Podcast: The churches fall away from scripture. This is the apostasy of the end times.

 

 
2 Thessalonians 2  (KJV)

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 scripture and God spoke to me and said:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scripture."

This was the end time apostasy where the spirit of antichrist takes over in the church groups.

(NASB)

5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

The one who restrains antichrist is Jesus "The Word".

As soon as the churches removed portions of the Word, the door was opened for antichrist to move into the church group.

When Jesus returns, antichrist and the apostate churches will be destroyed by HIM

(KJV)

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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

At the end, God destroys this present heaven and earth.

2 Peter 3:10-14

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.

πŸ’₯ For the children and relatives of born again Christians


πŸ’₯ What happens at the end of this world according to the New Testament Bible?
 
Jesus awakens the dead in Christ, who sleep in Jesus, and Jesus raises the children of God who are still living on this earth to take them to the new heaven and new earth which God has prepared for them for all eternity.

Revelation 21:1-5  (In a vision, God showed the apostle John this new heaven & new earth and gave John this information.)
 
 John says:

 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.
 
(There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor physical pain in heaven because we will not have these physical bodies in heaven but will have "new" spiritual bodies.  I Cor. 15:48-51)

5
And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
 
***
 
Matthew 24:29-31  (Jesus says:)
 
29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE
(Jesus)  shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
πŸ’₯  God will destroy this present heaven and earth.
 
2 Peter 3:10-14
 
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.

πŸ’₯ What happens when a person dies?

At the moment of death, the spirit leaves the body.

My cousin called me one day to tell me her husband had died.  She said, "Thurman reached over and patted my hand and just fell asleep." (died)
 
I Thessalonians 4  (The apostle Paul says)
 
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.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
(go before them) which are asleep (dead).

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  At the end of this world, Jesus comes through the air and all people living on this present earth will see Jesus coming in the clouds. 
 
Acts 1  (After the crucifixion and after God raised Jesus from the dead, Jesus appeared for 40 days on this earth in bodily form to various people on this earth and the disciples saw the moment when Jesus was taken by God into heaven.)
 
9  And when HE had spoken these things, while they beheld, HE was taken up; and a cloud received HIM out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as HE went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM go into heaven.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
πŸ’₯ God will then bring the 14 plagues of The Great Tribulation upon this earth to judge the people of this earth before HE destroys this present heaven and earth with fire. 

The 14 Plagues:  Revelation 8, 9, 16

(the first plague)

Revelation 8

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded,
and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  Jesus says:  "Ye must be born again."   (John 3:7)

If you have not been born again, ask God to cause you to be born again.

Promise of God to the New Testament Church:

Ezekiel 36  (God says:)
 
 23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
 
(profaned:  made secular / before we were born again we "profaned" God by describing God in  secular ways.  After we are born again, we view things of God by the Holy Spirit, describing things of God in the Holy Bible, in spiritual ways.)

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.
