πŸ’₯ Scriptures:

 
 Psalm 145:3  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and HIS greatness is unsearchable.
 
 ***
 
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. 
 
 ***
 
Deuteronomy 13:4  Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear HIM, and keep HIS commandments, and obey HIS voice, and ye shall serve HIM, and cleave unto HIM.
 
***

I John 2: 15-17   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.
 
 
***
 
Philippians 3:13-15  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
 
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and THE BLOOD of Jesus Christ HIS Son cleanseth us from all sin.

πŸ’₯ BOOK: Chapter 6: Living Continually In Peace While We Wait for the Return of Jesus (by Joan Boney)

We wait until we hear from God by HIS Spirit, and then we speak to others
 
When God brings HIS WORD to my mind by His Holy Spirit, I have all that I need to do the task set before me.

Psalm 119:105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

We learn with experience to patiently wait for God's word.

My cleaning lady, a Catholic woman asked me what I thought about homosexuals and lesbians.  I told her what God thinks by reading to her the following scripture.

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;

Then she said she had heard them say on talk shows that they were born homosexual.

 I didn't know the answer to that.  But a few days later God reminded me of a scripture and then I did know.

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

At some point God turned them over to a reprobate mind to "vile affections." (Romans 1:26-27)

Then I told her that which I heard from God, Mark 10:6.

We wait until we are sure God has shown us HIS truth before we speak.

I Corinthians 2

6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Others who are born of the Spirit of God will understand because we have the same Spirit.

Jesus says:

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, searches the heart of God to reveal the Word of God to us.

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   
 
Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
We don't try to figure thing out in our own wisdom.  We wait for God to show us by HIS Spirit and then we speak what God has shown us to others.

Revelation 17 (Reading through the Bible)


And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

πŸ’₯ An easy way to avoid election talk while checking the war in Israel.

Set up on tablet or phone:  CNN World News / War in Israel-Iran

Click here:   https://www.cnn.com/world/middleeast/israel

 This allows me to skip USA election talk but to see what is happening today in Jerusalem, which I feel is important in showing us the end time events listed in Bible. 

(JB)   I want to try to avoid all USA election ads and news talk.  I do not vote.  And I certainly want to avoid the slander and evil speaking put forth by both political parties.  I also want to avoid lies which come forth at this time in elections, especially through their TV ads.  I don't want those lies to go down into my heart ... yet I want to keep up with latest news concerning what is happening in Jerusalem.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ 


Luke 21:20-22  Jesus says:  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
 
(7 armies are currently sitting in countries surrounding Israel just waiting for opportunities to attack.)

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

The Bible shows us Jerusalem is the key to God's time table.

***
Just this week, Israel made decision they would not attack Iran's nuclear storage area nor Iran's oil.  Instead they will attack the enemy armies.

I believe the war in the mid-east would greatly increase if Israel attacked Iran's nuclear storage or oil.

It may be this decision will extend Jerusalem's time.  I certainly believe the time will come that Jerusalem will be destroyed because that is what the Bible says will happen in Luke 21:20-22.

But it might not be now that Jerusalem will be destroyed. 
 
Keep yourselves free from the evil of the politics of the next 3 weeks!  For it is very evil talk coming forth in the TV ads and it might not even be based on truth. Keep yourself from this sin of this world!
 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯ Election ads are sometimes not even based on truth. Don't let lies go into your heart.

 
Comments by Joan Boney:
 
We must "guard out hearts with all diligence."
 
If we take lies into our hearts, at some point lies will come out of our hearts and we will sin.
 
So we must be very careful what we hear.
 
In USA this is a very dangerous season until this election ends in November.
 
Matthew 12  (Jesus says)
  
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

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

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 
(That "treasure" which we store in our hearts is very important." Store good and not evil.)

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

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
 
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯ Scriptures:


Psalms 1:1-3   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.
 
(Beware of the poison of election ads for there is much evil in these. As Christians and servants of God we have no business in evil of politics.)

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD
(the Word of God); 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.
 
 
***
 
Proverbs 29:23  A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
 
 ***
 
Proverbs 3:25-26  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the Lord (the Word) shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
 
(PP ... God has given us many promises which greatly help us as we place our confidence in what God has said, such as: 
 
- Hebrews 13:5-6  ... for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
 
- Isaiah 41:10   Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of MY righteousness. 
 
- 1 Thessalonians 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (the Word)
 
- Mark 13:19-20   For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 
 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom HE hath chosen, HE hath shortened the days. )
 
 ***
 
Psalm 18:30 As for God, HIS way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: HE is a buckler to all those that trust in HIM.

31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God. 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

***

2 Peter 3  (Peter tells us how we should live from now until Jesus comes.)

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.

 JB ... if you have a grudge or grievance against another, make peace now before Jesus returns for the righteous.  We cannot store anger in our hearts and be ready for the return of Jesus.

πŸ’₯ Revelation 15-16 (Reading through the Bible)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Revelation 16

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome (bad smelling) and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

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

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

And I heard the angel of the waters say, THOU art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because THOU hast judged thus.
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and THOU hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are THY judgments.

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.  13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

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

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

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

πŸ’₯ Avoiding evil. Following peace and goodness.

 
I avoid election ads on TV whenever possible.  There is so much evil in these as they cause us to think evil of the opponent's political party.

I remind us that the apostle Paul warned us to pray for those in authority.
 
I Timothy 2

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
 
Recently when I heard on news that the Israel cabinet would be meeting on a certain day to decide what they would do in retaliation for Iran attacking Israel, I began praying for those in authority.  I do not know the will of God in this matter.  So I just began praying for God to give the leaders in Israel HIS wisdom.  
 
CNN Breaking News / 10-15-2024 ... Israel announced today they will not attack the nuclear stored armaments in Iran nor the oil supplies.
 
I believe that would have greatly escallated the Israel-Iran war.
 
Israel says they will only attack the army bases in Lebanon/Iran.
 
The one thing important is Jerusalem.  Watch that. For when Jerusalem is destroyed we will know Jesus comes soon.
 
Luke 21:20-22  Jesus says:  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.  
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
 
 
 No man knows when Jesus will return.  God sets up some wars by causing evil to come to justify the destruction of other nations.  We see this throughout the Bible.
 
So it would be foolish to pray for peace in Israel when we know the time comes Jerusalem will be destroyed as the Bible tells us.
 
The following is ordained to happen for Jesus tells us this will happen.

Luke 21:20-21  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.  
 
(Currently, 2024, Israel reports 7 enemy nations surrounding Israel.)  Iran fired missiles on Jerusalem on October 1, 2024.  Various attacks have come from Hamas in Gaza to south, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to north, and directly from Iran in southwest.)

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
 
***
 
(JB)  I believe we have entered the days of vengeance described in the Bible.
 
When we see Jerusalem destroyed, we should see the great tribulation from the wrath of God when the 14 plagues come upon this world.  Then comes Jesus according to these scriptures:
 
Matthew 24:29-31  Jesus says:  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:
 
Isaiah 13:13  (God says:) Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.
 
Dream given to me in early 1980's ... The earth moved on it's axis.  People were terrified.  The governments of men and scientists and religious leaders were meeting to see what could be done about it.  A TV newscaster was giving a report and he became so frightened he couldn't continue speaking and he just walked off camera and left the room for he knew this tragedy affected him too.

When the earth moves in the solar system everything changes.

***
Continuing Matthew 24:

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 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. 
 
(The dead in Christ will rise first ... Then those who are elect of God and still living will be change into their new spiritual bodies (I Cor. 15:48-51)... and they will be taken from off the earth to meet all those who have died in the air ...and all will be taken to the "new" Jerusalem created by God for HIS righteous. (Rev. 21:1-5))

Be ready for the return of Jesus.  Live in peace daily ... without spot ... blameless, as Peter said to do.  (2 Pet. 3:14)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
The apostle Peter tells us how we should live while we wait for this coming of Jesus.
 
2 Peter 3:10-14  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.
 
(only the righteous will be taken into heaven)

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’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
Seeing all these things written in the Bible telling us about the end of this world, how can our focus or hope be in elections and governments of men.
 
Build your nest in peace and keep your focus on living without spot and blameless for the judgment of God comes upon us.
 
2 Corinthians 5:9-10  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.

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.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
I Cor. 6:9-10   Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
 
Galatians 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Revelation 22   Jesus says:
 
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

 
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 

πŸ’₯ Scriptures:

 
1 Thessalonians 5:8-10  But let us who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 
 
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with HIM.
 
 ***


Psalm 128:1  Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in HIS ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

(JB ... If we fear the LORD, we do what the Word says.  For we know things will not go well with us unless we do the Word.)

For example:  Ephesians 4:26   Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:   (If we store anger in our hearts, the "serpent" devil will rise up and bite at some point.  So we forgive and ask God to cleanse our heart and give us a right Spirit, when we are angry.  Psalm 51:10 ... and we do that "before the sun goes down.")

***

2 Corinthians 1: 3-5  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

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

Proverbs 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Psalm 103:1  Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless HIS holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all HIS benefits

(JB) ... Benefits:  God gives us wisdom so we know how to go forward safely.

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

God has given us HIS own Holy Spirit:

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

***

 (And God gives us the following benefits.)

3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 HE will not always chide: neither will HE keep HIS anger for ever.

10 HE hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.


11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is HIS mercy toward them that fear HIM.

"Speak the Word only," and my servant will be healed, says the Centurion to Jesus.
 
Matthew 8

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto HIM a centurion, beseeching HIM, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that THOU shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, HE marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Luke 16

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

The Word from God is everything to us.

Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
 
God speaks to us by the Holy Scriptures and God speaks directly to us by the Holy Spirit bringing a thought to our minds.  Both are "Words" from God and to be heeded as such!
 
When we have that word from God, we have all that we need to go forward in this life.
 
God has spoken to me many times throughout the past years.
 
* "Get out of debt and stay out of debt."  (1975, after I was born again.)  
 
* In a dream, an angel of the Lord gave me instructions as follows: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" (Then the Holy Spirit said: "Call the radio station manager.")
 
I called the station manager at radio KWJS that morning as soon as the stationed opened.  I told him God might be showing me to go on radio, exhorting the church.  
I asked:  "How would you do that?"
 
The station manager said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting we will send you a contract."
 
(I made the tape that morning and took it to the post office and sent it to the station manager.  Within 5 days, I was broadcasting exhortations to the churches on radio 5 days a week on KWJS.) 
 
Even today as I write these words, I am strengthened in faith. 

Philemon v. 6  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus

After Internet began:

*  In 2012, God gave me a dream showing me to start publishing a blog exhorting the church daily.  In that dream, a woman was singing to a small group of people.  I heard her and said, "She has a little voice. But it is a nice little voice."

Truly a blog on Internet was a "nice little voice".
  
  - going all over the world instantly without any editing, exactly as I wrote it.
  - costing the ministry nothing to publish, whereas radio cost us between $800 a month and $2400 a month in the NYC area.  
  - Radio was one market per city and blog was all over the entire world. 
  - Blog was available ( from the day of publication until now, in a library type archive on line.)

(We have published to date 16,716 exhortations with a total of 1,642,820 downloads.)
 
February, 2020:  In a dream, in the night, God showed me to begin broadcasting Podcasts to exhort the church daily. We bought the needed equipment to record the Podcasts and began broadcasting episodes the first week in February in 2020.

To date, we have broadcast 1671 episodes with  114,061  downloads going all over this world.

The word that comes down from above, is all we need!
 
It comes through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, reminding us of scriptures from the Holy Bible.  It also comes directly through thoughts carried to our minds by the Holy Spirit.
 
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Revelation 14 (Reading through the Bible)


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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