Staying
connected to God daily, second by second, as we live on this earth as
we wait for the return of Jesus is critical to us. We must take every care to God in prayer when the problem arises. And we settle the matter with God in prayer. For
we do not know the day or hour that Jesus returns and staying connected
to God through prayer like this makes us worthy to escape that which is
coming upon this world.
Philippians 4:6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Luke 21:33-36 Jesus says:
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
It
is that prayer that connects us to God in all the troubles and cares of
this life and the connecting to God makes us accounted worthy to escape
that which is coming upon this earth and causes us to stand before the
Son of man.
Philippians 2:12 Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
II Corinthians 5:10-11 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. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.
You cannot live in peace with some people. You know who they are.
You cannot appease devils.
You have to come away from them.
Matthew 13:44-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking
goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
You
cannot be around them. When you are with them and a disturbing subject
arises, take a Bible and read aloud that scripture brought to your mind
by the Holy Spirit.
You will get
free one way or another. Either they will depart from you or they will
believe the scripture and turn to God and be saved.
You tell them.
Don't
just send them what I write. You tell them. They will just throw away
what I say to them. They already think I am your problem. We both
know that is not true. God is your problem! for He has led you in His
way but they are pulling you back to themselves.
Psalm 33:20-22 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: HE is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in HIM, because we have trusted in HIS holy name.
22 Let THY mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in THEE.
***
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in THY sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
***
Isaiah 26:7 The way of the just is uprightness: THOU, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
***
Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
***
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
***
Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into HIS rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For
unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word
preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that
heard it. 3 For
we which have believed do enter into rest, as HE said, As I have sworn
in MY wrath, if they shall enter into MY rest: although the works were
finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For HE spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all HIS works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into MY rest. 6 Seeing
therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom
it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, HE limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a
time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your
hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would HE not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into HIS rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart. 13 Neither
is there any creature that is not manifest in HIS sight: but all things
are naked and opened unto the eyes of HIM with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing
then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 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. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Comments by Joan Boney:
A pastor in Colorado Springs, Colorado (USA), sent me an email with the following requests:
He would like to know this from me:
1. Your word of exhortation on today's churches. 2. How God has led you to where you live with Pam in Colorado Springs?
💥💥💥
E-mail to this pastor from Joan Boney:
7-4-2021
Dear Pastor:
First concerning the churches today in the end times.
I have been shown by God many things about this subject.
Starting in 1982,
I was reading II Thessalonians 2:3-4
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.
God said to me at that time, in 1982, "The falling away are not the people leaving the church groups ... The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."
In 2017, God said to me the word: "restrains"
I found this word inII Thessalonians 2 (NASB) as follows:
6-8 And you know what restrains him now,
so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of
lawlessness is already at work; only HE who now restrains will do so
until HE is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the
Lord will eliminate with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by
the appearance of HIS coming;
I said to God,"Who is it that restrains antichrist?"
And instantly I knew the answer from God.
The scriptures restrain antichrist. Jesus
the Word restrains antichrist. But many churches remove portions of
scriptures and that removes "Jesus, The Word." And when that happens
antichrist moves into that church group.
💥💥💥
Most churches today are already antichrist for they no longer teach such things as follows: 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.
* The divorced woman commits adultery when she remarries but her husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery.
* The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
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. 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. 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.
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.
We no longer go by the Law of Moses where we sacrifice animals for sin ... But we do go by the Law of God as set forth in the New Testament Scriptures.
Mark 10 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.
10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.
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.
💥💥💥
Concerning Homosexuals & Lesbians:
Romans 1:26-28 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;
A homosexual or lesbian can be saved if such sees this scripture and recognizes their sin and repents and turns from sexually perverted acts.
💥💥💥
John 8 ... Jesus to woman taken in adultery ... "go ... and sin no more."
Sinners cannot continue in sins after they are enlightened, for to go back to their sins is to crucify Jesus afresh.
Hebrews 10:26-29 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
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?
The apostle Peter says: 2 Peter 2:19-22 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, 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.
Hebrews 6:4-8 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put HIM to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
💥💥💥
There is not 1 antichrist ... the apostle John tells us there are "many" antichrists.
I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are theremanyantichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
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.
💥💥💥
The apostle Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus:
Acts 20:29-30
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.
💥💥💥
So
after the time of Paul, men started their own denominations and cast
away scripture as they saw fit, and divided the body of Christ.
2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Antichrist
in today's churches ... these apostate churches will be destroyed by
Jesus when HE returns to gather the elect of God.
II 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:
💥💥💥
This shows you the report I have given many times on our blog, on Books on Amazon, and on our Podcasts.
I
will send you a second email concerning how God moved me to Pam's house
to live when I was 82 years old in 2019, and crippled, and in very bad
physical condition.

On July 5, 2021, I sent a second email to this pastor warning him concerning his plan to build a new church building.
Dear Pastor:
I must tell you that I have concerns about your building a new church building.
In
my initial response to hearing you were doing this, I asked you how God
showed you to do this. You did not choose to share that with me. So I
have no evidence concerning whether or not your project is from God.
However today I was praying about this project and I was reminded of the following scripture by the Holy Spirit:
Luke 17:28-29
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day
that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of
man is revealed.
And I have been reminded several times of Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
As a prophet I must warn you and ask you to reexamine this project through prayer and by considering these scriptures which show us the wisdom from God. James 3:17 and Matthew 11:30
James 3:17But the wisdom that is from above isfirst
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Matthew 11:30 Jesus says: For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.
I'm just telling you my concern and what I believe is from God to you.
Wherefore,
holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle
and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to HIM that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For
this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he
who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but HE that built all things is God. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6 But
Christ as a son over HIS own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast
the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted ME, proved ME, and saw MY works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known MY ways. 11 So I sware in MY wrath, They shall not enter into MY rest.) 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; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was HE grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

1.Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
2.Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3.Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:
v. 2Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Work of Angels:Bible examples
Angels come down from heaven as commanded by God to do various works of God according to the will of God.
* An angel of the Lord told Zacharias that
his wife Elisabeth would bear a son and they were to call his name John. Luke 1:11-15And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him,Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
***
Luke 1:39-44
Mary, who is carrying Jesus in her womb, visits her cousin,
Elizabeth, who is carrying John the Baptist in her womb ... The baby,
John the Baptist, is filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb
as soon as Mary with the baby Jesus enter the room ...
And
Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste,
into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and
saluted Elisabeth. 41And
it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the
babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And
she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
***
Luke 1:16-17 ... concerning John the Baptist ... And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before HIM (before Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
***
* The angel Gabriel was sent to Mary to tell her she would have a son and to call His name Jesus. Luke 1:26-38And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her,Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
And HE shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of HIS kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her,The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.
And,
behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old
age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
***
* An angel told Joseph not to fear to take Mary for his wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:18-25Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for HE shall save His people from their sins.
Now
all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name Jesus.
***
* An angel of the Lord told the
shepherds that the Savior, Christ the Lord, had been born and they could
find Him in a manger in Bethlehem.
Luke 2:8-15And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
***
* An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream to tell him to take Mary and Jesus and flee into Egypt and to remain in Egypt until the angel gave him word to return.
Matthew 2:13-14And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream,saying,
Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into Egypt,
and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy Him.
When he arose, he took the young child and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt
***
* Later an angel told Joseph to return into the land of Israel for the ruler who wanted to kill the baby Jesus was now dead.
Matthew 2:19-21But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying,
Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and go into the land of
Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
And he arose, and took the young child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
***
* When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan 40-days, angels ministered to Him.
Mark 1:12-13And immediately the spirit driveth Him (Jesus) into the wilderness.
And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts;and the angels ministered unto Him.
***
* An angel of God moved the great stone which sealed the tomb of Jesus.
Matthew 28:2And, behold, there was a
great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
***
* An angel of God came down from heaven to free Peter from prison.
Acts 12:1-11Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
And
when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to
four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to
bring him forth to the people.
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
And
when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers
before the door kept the prison.
And,
behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the
prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise
up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now
I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath
delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of
the people of the Jews.
***
* An angel delivered a message to the apostle Paul, telling Paul no harm would come to him and those on the ship.
Acts 27:18-25And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
And
when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest
lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
But
after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said,
Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete,
and to have gained this harm and loss.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
*** Genesis 28:10-12
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he
lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the
sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for
his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Angels descend, carrying messages from God and doing works of God.
Then angels go back to heaven where God assigns them as He wills.
***
Psalm 103:20Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
***
(Comments
by Joan Boney ...) The night of January 10, 1980, I was asleep and
awakened by a very loud trumpet-like voice which blew 3 words into my
ear as follows: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" ... I believe this to have been an angel of God speaking to me.
By this and through prayer, I came to believe God was leading me to go
on radio. Within about 5 days of this word, I was broadcasting
exhortations week-days on KWJS radio. Within a year I was on radio
stations from NYC (Hartford) to Seattle.

Exodus 23:20-25 God says: Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for MY name (the Word) is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For
Mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites,
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites,
and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. Thou
shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their
works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their
images. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and HE shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Notice how angels deliver messages from God to individuals.
Angels also do great works. It was an angel who moved the large stone from the front of the tomb of Jesus.
***
It is not so much delighting in the fact that an angel appeared to you but rather delighting and following that wordwhich the angel of God delivered to you.

If something would be harmful to us, to our salvation, God will stop us!
When a stop sign appears in the highway, don't be afraid to stop.
God will sort through it and restore our souls.
I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The elect of God are kept by God. Something will stop us when we need to be stopped.
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How
shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first
began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that
heard HIM; 4 God
also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to HIS own will? 5 For unto the angels hath HE not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But
one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art
mindful of him? or the son of man that THOU visitest him? 7 Thou
madest HIM a little lower than the angels; THOU crownedst HIM with
glory and honour, and didst set HIM over the works of THY hands: 8 Thou
hast put all things in subjection under HIS feet. For in that HE put
all in subjection under HIM, HE left nothing that is not put under HIM.
But now we see not yet all things put under HIM. 9 But
we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that HE by the grace
of God should taste death for every man. (Jesus
had to be created a little lower than the angels for angels do not
suffer fleshly pain as humans suffer. Jesus had to suffer in HIS flesh
to redeem our flesh to God.) 10 For
it became HIM, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in
bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings. 11 For
both HE that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause HE is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare THY name unto MY brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto THEE. 13 And again, I will put my trust in HIM. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given ME. 14 Forasmuch
then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, HE also Himself
likewise took part of the same; that through death HE might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily HE took not on HIM the nature of angels; but HE took on HIM the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore
in all things it behoved HIM to be made like unto HIS brethren, that HE might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to
God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that HE Himself hath suffered being tempted, HE is able to succour (assist) them that are tempted.

Humans love to be wise in their own eyes. They love to give "their opinions".
The apostle Paul warns us:
I Corinthians 15:33-34Be
not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to
righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:
When we share what God has said to us, we glorify God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:29-30 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
edifying: building another person in the faith in God
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

I Corinthians 2:4-5Paul said: And
my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith
should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
When we share our own opinions, often we are trying to bring glory to ourselves and to have other humans praise us.
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
Luke 10:38-42 Now it came to pass, as they went, that HE (Jesus) entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received HIM into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard HIS word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to HIM, and said, Lord, dost THOU not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Psalm 68:19-20 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 HE that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues (deliverance) from death.

John 15:13 (Jesus says) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
***
Matthew 26:41 (Jesus says) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
***
Proverbs 16:3-4 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The Lord hath made all things for HIMSELF: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
