* God was not pleased with them because they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Comments by Joan Boney, apostle and prophet of Jesus Christ according to Ephesian 4:11-12

I Corinthians 10

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.  2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur (complain) ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

John 8:31-32 Jesus says:  If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

But some failed to keep the "knowledge of the way of God" before them and they turned and went in another way, opposite to scripture.

Romans 1:28    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;

Paul admonishes us to be steadfast:

Romans 12:1-2   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

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

Revelation 3:5  Jesus says:  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before his angels.

***

We must believe that Word which God gives us by HIS Spirit and continue to follow that Word even when trials and circumstances and people would take us in another direction.

If any of us turn from HIS Word and follow another spirit we can be turned over to a reprobate mind.

So we keep the Word of God before us, keeping what God says in our minds, going in the way of God.
