Turn to God in prayer and depend on God to cleanse your heart and to renew your spirit when you are offended.  God can do this and will do this for us when we want to be cleansed.

One time, a woman told me how she was offended by a woman at a secular job.  More than 20 years had passed and she was still holding onto the offense.

Instead pray, asking God to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you.  Psalm 51:10

I don't believe I would know how to cleanse my own heart, except when I trust God to do that for me I know HE will.  God is our only hope!  And if we hope in God we will never be disappointed!

Being dead to sin and alive to God through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5:16 ... Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

If we hear what the Holy Spirit brings to our mind and we choose to do what HE tells us we will not go in the way of our own flesh and we will overcome by the Spirit!

 In October 2022, after being diagnosed with high-grade, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, I was told that without treatment I would be dead in 1 year, 2 years at the very most. The recommended treatment was 4 rounds of chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove my bladder. I would be in the hospital 3 days after surgery, and it would take 6-8 weeks to fully recover. Then, for the rest of my life, I would need to deal with man-made alternatives to having a natural bladder. 
 
There was panic at first, with ideas of various things that would need to be done to prepare for all of this. 
 
But when I prayed, I was reminded of what we're told in Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 
 
So I tried to just focus on what was immediately in front of me, what I needed to deal with each day.
 
During this time I also asked God if there was any way I might be spared bladder removal, and HE drew my attention to information from the American Society of Clinical Oncology concerning the type of bladder cancer I had ... “An approach using chemotherapy with radiation therapy may provide the same benefits as bladder removal.” 
 
I came to believe this was God's answer to my prayer about being spared bladder removal. And God led and helped me in getting the treatment plan changed to chemotherapy with radiation instead of chemotherapy with bladder removal. This treatment was completed by mid-January, 2023, and there has been no sign of cancer through 3 series of extensive tests since then. 
 
All the things that seemed to be needed to prepare for the future in October, 2022, were not needed at all. There was no surgery and recovery.  There was no change in the way my body functions.  
 
I was spared much unnecessary work and trouble by being given Matthew 6:34 and seeking to do what we're told in this. 
 
As we've been preparing for the home church meeting at my house this coming July, I've been reminded of what happened in this and of Matthew 6:34. This has helped me focus more on just what needs to be done "today". 
 
And I often find myself starting the day by asking God to direct what I do that day, knowing that HE knows what is needed and that it will be sufficient. 
 
Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. 
 
Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass. 
 
Things that seem, in my thinking, to be needed for the future may not be needed at all. But God know exactly what is needed and the best timing for each thing.

 What a Friend

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry 
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations,
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms (Word) He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

2 Thessalonians 2  (When Jesus returns)

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.

They approved the casting away of scripture and changing the doctrines of Christ set up in the New Testament Bible.

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’₯ Can't you tell when you are about to speak something that can hurt another person?

Comments by Joan Boney:

James 1:26  If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

If we allow our heart to get unclean by taking in various resentments as the world does and then holding such against the person who offended us instead of turning to God in prayer and asking God to create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit in us, then the evil festers and grows in our heart and at some point comes out our mouth.

πŸ’₯  I don't want to be evil.  I want God to cleanse me.  I want to catch the evil that would come into me and turn to God with that evil and let HIM give me a good heart and a good spirit.

Be watchful! otherwise we will become evil and hurt other people.

Sometimes we have to bring corrections.  It is a work of God.  And when that is the case we ask God how we can do that without hurting myself or the other person.  When I have done this, God will show me some way I can bring the message.  But when the person is evil and set for destruction, God just has me deliver the message and disappear, for that person is set for destruction.

Here is an example of a person set to be destroyed:

Judges 3

12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

And the messenger of God fled.

As a prophet of God, I've delivered many messages of God.    Most messages are to give the person an opportunity to turn to God and be delivered from evil.

One message was to Robert Tilton who had killed a prophet by keeping her from speaking to his TV audience. (Wikipedia: Robert Tilton) Before they went on camera, Bob said:  "Don't say anything about being a prophet for it's not popular."

Ava called me after the show.  She was in tears as she told me what Bob did.  I sought God about this.  And I knew God's sentence was destruction of Bob's house for what he did.  I delivered this message to him by cassette tape.  He and his wife and the office staff heard the tape I sent.  Someone took scissors and cut the tape to pieces.  They danced around the tape, quoting scripture.  But they did hear the message and that is all that mattered!

God removed me from going to that church.  About 10 years later, Bob and his wife divorced.  He married a woman who was a lawyer and preacher.  She sued Bob.  They divorced.  Bob encountered many troubles and somehow lost his 8,000 seat church building and TV ministry.  He moved to Florida and tried to start another TV ministry but it was never the success of the previous ministry. He married a third wife.  He sold what he had accumulated and moved to Culver City, California,  and bought a hotel there.  (Reported on Wikipedia, Internet Encyclopedia: see Robert Tilton

Everything around Bob was destroyed.  I knew it was because he killed a prophet by stopping her from doing the work of a prophet on his TV show.

It is often one act that seals your fate when you are being destroyed by God or saved by God.

Whether we compromise often destroys us. Holding fast to scripture without compromise often is basis for our salvation and endurance to eternal life.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

I can tell when I am about to say something I shouldn't say to another person and I cry out pleading with God:  "Please don't let me say that.  Stop me from speaking."  (God always answers that prayer and somehow stops me from speaking that thing my flesh wants to speak.)

I have also seen church people plow ahead with words of hatred and envy and spite, having an evil spirit in them.  Instead of pleading with God: I often pray.

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Some are so full of bitterness they would rather be destroyed rather than give up their hatred and bitterness and be cleansed by God.

The Bible shows us not all prophets are the same though all prophets are prophets when called by Jesus.

Some prophets, such as Elijah, are very public.  

Some prophets are not even known by name at the time they lived yet they are identified as prophets by God.

Acts 11

26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

27And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

(We don't know the names of the other prophets who were with Agabus, only that other prophets came with him to Antioch.)  

A prophet is very valuable to the church.  Often God speaks a single statement of information through that unknown prophet in the group.  We have approximately 5 prophets in our little church group besides me and we are meeting at Pam Padgett's house in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for 5 days on July 22-26.  Do you think God will honor this?  I do.  Jesus will be in the midst of us at that meeting.  (Mt. 18:20)  Would you think Jesus will speak and act at that meeting?   I do.

There are other places the church is meeting where Jesus will also be.  I don't know for sure which ones they are.  But I know Jesus will be at this meeting among us at Colorado Springs.  And I know, at this point in time, at least 3 prophets who plan to attend.  Do you think things of God will happen?  I do.

Psalm 5:11  But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them: let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee.

 
This scripture reminds me of this song:
 
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
 
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
 
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
 
Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Podcast: Antichrist churches today

 
 
 
The apostle Paul shows us how antichrist will work in the end time New Testament churches.

2 Thessalonians 2

3 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.

In 1982, God explained to me the "falling away" spoken of in this scripture.

The falling away are not people leaving the church.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The apostle John showed his church group that there were already MANY antichrists in their own church group.

I John 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

The apostle John shows us that antichrist is not one man as churches today are teaching but rather antichrist is a spirit in many men.

1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The apostle Paul speaking to the Elders of the church at Ephesus:

Acts 20

17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.

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.

(The elders would rise up among them "speaking perverse things" to draw away disciples to themselves ... setting up other denominations ... antichrist ... setting up things in the churches which are opposite to the doctrines of Christ.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

When Jesus returns, HE will destroy antichrist churches, ministers and followers of those false doctrines.

2 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:

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.

I believe Jesus is coming soon.

πŸ’₯ Psalm 34


12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

James 1:26  If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

When we are about to say something hurtful or destructive or in strife, we can pray:  "God ... please don't let me say that !"

When I pray this, I realize God stopped me from speaking that which my flesh wanted to speak!

God bridled my tongue after I prayed!

Concerning strife that I find in my heart, or bitterness, I often pray:

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

God always answers this prayer for me!

We can't serve God with the wrong spirit!  People will be hurt if we do this.  It is critical for us to be cleansed by God often as we become offended by another person.

And we must receive corrections when they are Godly, humbling ourselves!

James 1  

18 Of HIS own will begat HE us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of HIS creatures.

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Joan Boney

Do I have to say to you, "Thus saith the Lord," if I speak a word from God to you? 

If I should be speaking by my own ideas, I would say, "This is just my opinion, but I think it is of God."  And I might say, "Now I'm not saying this is a word from God but I think it is."  But if I share something with you that is personal and I will likely tell you, I believe this is from God so consider it carefully.  I'm not speaking my own opinion

Look at the way Paul spoke:

I Corinthians 7:10   And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

Every word of scripture is inspired by God.  (2 Tim. 3:16)  So if it is in Bible we know God inspired that word, so even when Paul implied it is his opinion, God put it into Paul's heart to say this and later it shows up in the Bible.

But don't you realize I'm the same as Paul.  I speak by commandment of God and I speak by that which I believe is of God.  I don't speak lightly to the church.  

(But some treat my words lightly.)  This is a mistake if you do this. I speak to you as an apostle and prophet, as an oracle of God, and if I were you I would consider I am not speaking as a human of this world but as a servant of God doing the will of God, speaking what God plants in my heart.

Even when I considered a man who delivered a message to me to close my business to be of questionable character, I was not prepared to take his word lightly.  And I did close my business to go into the ministry though I had no ministry to which to go.  How did it work out for me?  I stayed at home and waited for 6 months after that word for God to show me how to go into the ministry.  I closed the business on July 31, 1979, and in the night on January 10, 1980, in the night a trumpet like voice spoke 3 words to me:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS (radio station)"  and by that God showed me how I was to go into ministry, by radio exhortations which I gave to the church.

(The radio station manager in Detroit said to me, "You just appeared.  Most come from somewhere but you were just there.")

I really had no plan to close my business at the time I closed my business.  But I didn't take that man's word to me lightly.  He said he was a prophet and maybe he was.  I could not deny his word to me in order to go in my own way.

Some never seem to consider the word I share might be of God.  They just continue to go in their own way.

Some don't even show that they pray over what I say to them.  They just do what they prefer by their fleshly thinking.  They miss the blessings of God this way.  And in the day of judgment what will you do if God says, "Didn't my servant tell you the message I sent to you?"

For the last 2 days I awoke hearing this hymn:

1
’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.


Refrain
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more.

2
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me,
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.

3
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.

4
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

Recently I've been reminded of the following dream I had 2/27/2020 and wanted to share it ...

There had been an explosion. Somehow it was known that the person responsible for this explosion had setup another explosion for a specific day. We even knew the approximate time.

I started to leave the building where I was working on the sixth floor before the second explosion was to take place, but just a few steps down the stairs I remember my purse and that all my identification was in it. I ran to where my purse was and got it. Then I proceeded to leave, going down the stairs very quickly. I counted each floor as I passed by it descending down the stairs.

Some people were standing along the stairs, talking. I could tell by their talk that they knew the explosion was supposed to be coming, but they seemed to feel no sense of urgency. I didn’t stop to try to persuade them to get out right away. Instead, I went around them and continued getting to the first floor so I could leave the building.  I got out of the building and continued quickly on my way to leave the area.

At one point I was aware the explosion had happened. There was a wall of glass doors in the outside area where I was. I went through one of the doors to the other side, getting as far away from the destruction as I could. I kept walking as quickly as possible.

At another point I saw a woman walking around with a dazed look. She was carrying a recording device. I heard her say she was interviewing people who had been hurt or raped during this event.

I kept walking as quickly as possible toward the parking lot so I could leave.

==

When I awoke from this dream, I heard “save yourself from this untoward generation”

Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

untoward:
difficult to guide, manage, or work with; unruly
marked by trouble or unhappiness
inappropriate, offensive, perverse, willful, crooked

After my husband got out of the hospital last year after his stroke, kidney stones, etc., I was talking to God one day about different things that had happened during that period of time, especially how my son and daughter had been so helpful to both my husband and myself. Going that extra mile without me even having to ask them for help.
 
I have to say that what they did surprised me. 
 
But, as I thought about it that day, I heard the following from the Holy Spirit… CHILDREN ARE BLESSINGS FROM GOD.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:21
  Prove all things; hold that which is good.
 
 
(PP ... The other 2 verses in this passage of scripture also give important instruction for us:

Podcast: Sodom and Gomorrha were set forth for an example of those that sin today

 
 
 
 
Jude 

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Preachers today who eliminate many scriptures and approve such sins as fornication, adultery, and homosexual acts.)

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

God sent forth 2 angels to remove Lot (Abraham's nephew from Sodom) and to destroy Sodom where men from every quarter of the city were homosexuals.

Genesis 19

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;

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:

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.  (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 (the 2 angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they (the 2 angels) 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.

(Angels have great powers.)

12 And the men (the 2 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.  

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

And what does God say to us in the Holy Bible about homosexual and lesbian?

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;

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

What God says in Bible about fornication:  

I Corinthians 6

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.

(At the time of sexual intercourse the 2 become one flesh even if it is sex with a prostitute.)

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

What God says in Bible about adultery:

Matthew 5:32  (Jesus says) 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 only scriptural reason for man to divorce his wife is if she is committing fornication.
* If man divorces a faithful wife and she remarries, she commits adultery and 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: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Mark 10  (Jesus says)

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. (At the time of sexual intercourse the 2 become 1 flesh.) 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

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.

Romans 7

(New Testament law of God spoken by the apostle Paul to the NT Church)

2 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.

3 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.

πŸ’₯ If it hadn't been for Noah, none of us would be here because God saw the evil in men and was going to destroy all but NOAH found grace with God.

 
 Genesis 6

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that HE had made man on the earth, and it grieved HIS at HIS heart.

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.


So God spared Noah and the generations of man continued.

The day of the Lord is coming where Jesus consumes the evil doers and takes the ones who have the righteousness of God into the new heaven and new earth which is created for them by God.

2 Thessalonians 2

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.

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:

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.

Revelation 21

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.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

The end of this present world is coming.  Perhaps in our lifetime!  Until then, we overcome through the Word of God as we wait to be taken off this present earth.  And while we remain on this earth, we exhort the others who are called by God and encourage them in the Word of God.

I John 5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Those things we hear from God overcomes the world when we do them and speak them.  The Word given us is "victory" when we believe that word and do that word and share that word.

Faith is believing what God says about the matter at hand.  Faith wins!

There is no counsel against that Word God speaks to us concerning the issues of this present life.  Victory is that Word spoken by God regardless of whom that comes to us.

I knew God called me to be a minister.  Multiple times at multiple church gatherings individuals were used by God to prophecy over me.  I didn't know what ministry I was to do other than work of an apostle and prophet, and God taught me what those ministries involved.  But where and how, came later.  There seemed to be no place for me to work in the body of Christ and no way.  But there was.

The first time I ever heard of something called "a blog", was in the movie about Julia Childs called Julie and Julia.  The young girl had started a daily blog as she worked through all of Julie Child's recipes. The movie showed the computer page on which she wrote the blog.  I found that very exciting and I said aloud into the air, "OH ... I wish I could do that ... but I don't have anything to say!"  

In March, 2012, God showed me in a dream to start writing on a blog.  I contacted Pam Padgett, a retired computer programmer at Fed Ex, and asked her if she could set up a blog for the ministry.  In 3 days we had our Jesus Ministries Blog, and I began writing.  The first day there were 2 pageviews from Germany.  I was shocked, not knowing the blog went all over this world!

Matthew 24  (Jesus said)  v. 14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Today Pam Padgett and I work 7 days a week and often into the night to get the blog and podcasts (started February, 2020) published and we even have some books ready by chapters but not yet in technical form for Amazon.  Sometimes we nearly faint.  But we don't.  Every day brings more things and sometimes we struggle to get all the messages out to you in word.  We just keep writing, publishing, and recording!  When 40 years ago, it seemed there was no way, God made ways.

Podcast: Though our outward man perishes, the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)

 
 
 
 
If you are born again, hopefully you have learned to focus on something other than your physical body as the world does.

I go to physician assistant once a year in order to get a prescription for Ambien sleep aid.  Other than that, I will go in if I really need help with something and can't take care of it with standard over the counter medicine in a reasonable time.

I'm 86, and most of the time, I don't have to go to medical office except once a year.

But I have learned to pay very little attention to my human body.  Usually it gets well by itself after 2 or three days.  I think God created it that way.  I don't do "preventive medicine", because I don't want to do it.  I don't believe in it.  I have the right to choose.  So I choose.

But being a real Christian, I'm really not afraid to die.

Recently I was so depressed by something a church woman did, I asked God to let me die.  But God didn't and HE caused things to help me recover.

Remember how Elijah asked to die when Jezebel was after him?  But God had an angel cook him a meal out in the wilderness and after Elijah ate, things looked better to him, and he kept doing the work of a prophet of God.

The outward man usually perishes.  I really don't consider this to be a big deal as some church people do.  So what?  Life doesn't end just because we die!

There is an appointed time of 70 years life in Bible, but some live longer.  Many are already well past that 70 year time and they try to hang on as if they were 20.  I consider this foolish and I choose not to do this nor do I choose to put myself into the medical system thinking to extend life.

I only want to live as long as I can exhort the church.  I've asked God to let me die the day I can no longer exhort the church.  (I'm 86.)

My PA thought I might be having heart attacks and she offered to administer an EKG to find out.  I thought about her offer, and then said, "I don't think so."  (I don't want to be caught up in this.)  If I die, I die.  I learned to take aspirin when the pain struck and in a few days it stopped.)

I've met people who can't do anything much but think about their bodies.  That is a trap I really do not plan to participate in.  

(Of course if the pain got bad enough, I might ask for some pills until I could die.  So far, that hasn't happened.  But I'm not trying to live on this earth.  You have to know what your goal is.)

πŸ’₯  My goal is to make provision at my house where I can read more Bible.  I'm totally uninterested in going for a walk or things like that.  And I eat what I want to eat.  I don't mind looking like the homeless woman who can't walk. Sometimes if we do go out in the car, I put make up base over the brown blemishes that have appeared of late on my face.  Sometimes I even put on light lip-stick.  Why not?  But I don't focus on fixing my flesh.  I just cover up a little!

πŸ’₯ The injustice of men of this world is hard to see but we must not allow ourselves to be pulled down by lack of justice.


 
Psalm 37

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

fret not:  don't be constantly worried or anxious or distressed

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD (the Word), and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD (the Word); and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

(He will put into your heart HIS own desires.)

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass.

6 And HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD (the Word), and wait patiently for HIM: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

(It is the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.  I Peter 3:13)

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for HE seeth that HIS day (The day of the Lord) is coming.

(Judgment will come and the wicked will then be judged by God.)

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs (burned away, cut away); they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of HIM shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of HIM shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in HIS way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with HIS hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not HIS saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the LORD, and keep HIS way, and HE shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: HE is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: HE shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in HIM.

Put the wicked away from your eyes and from your thinking!  Focus on peace.  Live in joy.  Keep your heart happy.  Delight in those good things given you by God.  Turn to good.  Depart from the evil.
