Overcoming the world through Jesus, The Word


John 16:33 Jesus says: These things I (The Word) have spoken unto you, that in ME (The Word) ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I (The Word) have overcome the world.

Joan Boney … apostle/prophet

Often when I have to go out in the world, I see such evil in people that I have trouble controlling myself. (I think I have the spiritual gift of discerning of spirits.)

Yesterday, I needed to go to grocery.

Before I took my shower, I had been looking at various hymns and singing these hymns in my heart.

When I got to grocery, a hymn sprung up inside me. I began humming it softly as I shopped.

This time, I did all my shopping, paid my bill, got to my car … without being troubled by the people.


***

Last night, I had a terrible dream. There was incredible blatancy inside some merchants. They were charging enormous prices … several hundred times the amount the items had cost before … and in one setting, they had a terrible virus. It was still contained in a box but it was very dangerous. I made special effort not to go near that box.

I awoke from the dream crying out to God for help.

Later I thought of what the apostle Paul said about the last days on this earth:



II Timothy 3 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.


***


6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
***


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



***


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

(Focus on the things you have learned from God.)

***

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

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

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

Recently I was speaking with a woman from our church groups whom I believe to be a prophet.

She told me she had been seeing increased wickedness in people.

I asked her to describe this and she wrote the following.

From Barbara Preston:  

Most of what I see is from TV new footage.

BUT DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

People out of control willing to physically or verbally attack others brought on, by what seems to me, to be a type of delusion/insanity.

People have always been violent but today I sense a craziness, an irrationality that I don’t remember seeing before.

Out of control and no concern about harming others. It is like a bloodlust which can only be satisfied by more bloodlust but will not be satisfied no matter what they do.

Ruthless

Roaming bands of crazed people is what I see. Can’t be reasoned with.

(JB … This is certainly what I saw in my dream last night.  People who can't be reasoned with and what they were doing was so out of control. These were merchants people I've dealt with in past but they were now completely irrational and just did not care.  There was nothing I could do but walk away and leave them alone.)

Mostly people leave me alone when I am out. But a couple of times I have seen other people become angry with me over pretty much nothing...really angry.

Both while I was driving.
