💥 I have only one goal at this point in my life and that allows my focus to be like a lazer.

 

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

At this end time period, my only goal in writing and recording is to help the elect of God to "endure".

 

Jesus says:  Matthew 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 

Thus the recent addition of the following recordings:  Psalms & Proverbs (right side of home page of blog)

During WWII, Russia switched sides and began to fight against HITLER when Germany attacked Russia on June 22, 1941.

 

Winston Churchill had always been an adversary of communism.   Someone came to him and asking him how he could now approve Russia whom he had always fought.

 

Churchill replied:   His only goal was to defeat Hiltler.  Having one goal assisted him greatly in focusing on what to do as situations surfaced.

 

My goal is to help the elect of God to endure that which is coming upon this earth. 

 

When we simplify our goal and our assignment for which God put us on this earth, everything is much helped.

 

I don't have to fragment my thinking being concerned over other things, using up my time and energy over governments of men and that which they are doing.  Nor do I think of the churches today and how they depart into the antichrist apostasy by changing away from directions given us in the Bible.

 

I am coming to see the church as "the elect of God who are chosen by God and led by the Holy Spirit of God," and those who are church joiners who love sermons prepared by humans.

 

Paul says when we gather at the church to do this:

 

I Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

 

This is what I am determined to do if we have gathering of the church allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and do what HE wills through whom HE wills.

(God tells me to write and record messages for the elect of God to help them to endure holding fast to the Word of God and faith in God.  Growing in God by doing the word of God in their own lives regardless of what others do. (Why be destroyed with them?  How does that help you?)

I once told my mother:  "You can go down but I won't go down with you."

 

She then said, "I don't want you to go down."

 

Shortly after that, my mother was saved by God, born again, as she believed the Word and repented and turned from the evil of that which she had been doing.

I believe we've already made a good beginning toward this goal of helping the elect to "endure" ... by making available to you the recordings listed on the right side of the home page of the blog.  

It is my intention to record the 150 Psalms.  We will be adding these recordings to the right side of the home page of the blog when they become available.

💥 Enduring to the end ... as long as God chooses to leave us on this earth.

Matthew 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Hebrews 3

 

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.

 

(We leave God when we allow unbelief into our heart.)  So fight to hold onto belief in truth of God through the scriptures!

 

***

 

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.

Through their own stubbornness some throw away their own salvation.

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.

 

***

 

It it important for each of us to work into our lives daily that which feeds our belief in the word of God.  (Keeping in our minds scriptures and concepts of God, building our faith in God to the end.)

 

Hebrews 10:36   For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Jude

 

1  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.

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.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of HIS saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against HIM.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers (imitators) in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves (joining the church but not called by the Spirit of God), sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

24 Now unto HIM that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of HIS glory with exceeding joy,

25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Blessed Assurance

(Click here to hear music for this hymn on hymnal.net:  Blessed Assurance)

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.

💥 Report: Joan Boney

I couldn't sleep last night.  Not even after taking Benadryl (alergy tablet) and Ambience sleeping pill (12.5 Mg)

 

Still awake at 1 A.M.

 

Heard, from Holy Spirit:  "Put on one of the scripture recordings." 

 

I began playing the recording of Proverbs: 21-31 ... Jesus Ministries Exhortation blog. (right side/home page)

 

I heard about 4 verses and enjoyed the scripture and fell asleep (without knowing I was falling asleep) sleeping soundly between 1 am and 11 am.

 

(If you have husband or wife, you can get earphones and hear these scriptures without disturbing mate.)

I will continue testing and let you know further results.  (I'm a  hard shell test case.  I've had this sleep problem since I was about 3 years old .)

 

And I had the extra benefit of the Proverbs which are such excellent advice and from God.

Deuteronomy 28

 

1  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and HE shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto HIMSELF, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in HIS ways.

10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD (THE Word); and they shall be afraid of thee.

11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

12 The LORD shall open unto thee HIS good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD THY God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Psalm 23:1-2-3  The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 

(Because I follow that Word God gives to me by HIS Holy Spirit, HE leads me into areas where there is no lack.)

2 HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures (a good land): HE leadeth me beside the still waters. (Where I can live in peace.)

3 He restoreth my soul  (By HIS Word me sets me on high when I am in danger of going a wrong way.): HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake (for the sake of HIS Word).

💥 Don't be deceived, says Jesus.

Matthew 24

 

3 And as HE (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of THY coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

 

***

 

They come "saying" they are Christians ... but often their words and ways show opposite.

 

* When we were buying a car, the salesman sat and visited with me.  He immediate identified himself to me as being a Christian.  And immediately HE began telling me a riskay, worldly story.

 

Matthew 7:16  Jesus says:  Ye shall know them by their fruits.

 

***

 

*  My neighbors on each side of Pam Padgett's house said to me they are Christians.  And the neighbor across the street said he is Christian.

 

I shared many godly things God has done in my life.  Had anyone telling me of these works God has done, I would have "rushed" to be with that person.  Two of these showed no sign of wanting to visit with me again.  One neighbor said he and his wife would like to come to my "Bible class".  I told him I don't have a Bible class but we certainly could gather at the church as Paul told us to do:  

 

 I Cor. 14:26  How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm (prayer), hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.  (This is the church being led by the Holy Spirit of God, meeting the needs of the elect of God.)

 

They showed no interest in that type of meeting.

 

***

 

*  A young man who did some secular work for us, identified himself as a Christian.  But when he came into the house identifying himself as a Christian, I began sharing things God has done in my life, and he began arguing with me throwing out a "letter of the law", and I explained to him you cannot handle scripture that way but must go by the Spirit of God speaking to you. 

 

I was very foolish ... continuing to share spiritual things with him.  After several visits, he left me, breaking my heart.  He spoke of "The Spirit" but didn't have any interest in gathering as a church which met as the Spirit led.  

 

The only thing that is of any value is the leading of the Holy Spirit and the church must focus on this.  At one church I attended in the 1980's our teacher always said, "Does anyone have a word from the Lord," opening the door for the Holy Spirit to speak. 

But what I find is mostly people who say they are Christians and want to go to a church where men speak a prepared message and they can sit and hear and do nothing and have no "pressure" on themselves, and "feel" religious.

Ezekiel 33 

 

31  And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. 

***

 

I find the elect of God to be individuals who really want things of the Holy Spirit of God.

 

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

 

At these terrible times, God shows me to begin speaking to those who show themselves to be the elect of God ... not just joiners of churches of men.

 

And that is what I am doing as I write books, the blog, and record Podcasts.

Ephesians 1

 

1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:  2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (THE WORD):

4 According as HE hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS will,

6 To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In WHOM we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS grace;

8 Wherein HE hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS good pleasure which HE hath purposed in Himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times HE might gather together in one all things in Christ (THE WORD), both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in HIM:

11 In WHOM also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of HIM who worketh all things after the counsel of HIS own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In WHOM ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in WHOM also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of HIS glory.

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.

💥 On March 2, 2025, the Holy Spirit brought the following to my mind. "Enter not into the path of the wicked and go not in the way of evil . Avoid it."

 

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

I knew that word from the Holy Spirit to me was in Proverbs 4, so I looked it up and began to think on these words.

 

Proverbs 4

 

13  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

 

***

 

These are the end times when evil flaunts itself before us, especially on TV.

 

As the elect of God, chosen by God, we have a responsibility to God and to ourselves and to others.  Our words should edify God.

 

If we put evil into our hearts, at some point in time, evil that we stored in our hearts will come out our mouth.  

 

Does what we speak edify God, giving glory to God?

 

***

 

Evil comes out of the mouth when you allow their worldly things into your heart.

 

Proverbs 4:13-14 13  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil.
... Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

 

They will only break our hearts ...  You are not going to give anything good to them for in evil, how can you give good? when God can't?  You only deceive yourself.

 

So just do the scripture:  Enter not into the path of the wicked and go not in the way of evil ... Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. 

Devil whispers, "You might save them."

 

But God says to me:  "They will only destroy you."

I am reminded of this scripture of the rich man and Lazarus.

 

***

 

Luke 16

 

19   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.

Multiple times during the last few weeks, God has shown me write and speak things for the elect of God to help them to endure in the Word and in faith.

 

(Let them find you if they are the ones of God.)

 

Speak truth of God to those who are the elect as if you are writing edifications for people like Pam Padgett, for it is over. 

 

***

 

I speak to you as an apostle and prophet of God set in the body of Christ and say:  This is what God said to me.  "Edify the elect of God in both blog and Podcast."

I'm only sharing with you the direction God spoke to me. For it is my duty to God to share with you the way God is now leading me and recently this is what I believe God has told me.  So that is what I am speaking and writing.  That which edifies you who are supposedly born again. 

 

***

 

Many years ago, one of our church men just disappeared.  I thought he was dead.

 

Recently he began speaking to us again.  He said he had sent a godly message to his daughter and he hasn't hear from her since he sent it.  I recall he sent messages to her many years ago and she rejected him and his message.

But if you hear to communicate with a person I would certain do that.  What I am hearing is share with the elect of God.  That is what you see me doing now.

 

I am writing and recording things for the elect of God to help them endure in the coming days.

 

For Jesus tells us the time will get so bad even the elect will not be saved unless the time is shortened.  Mt. 24 but Jesus says, for the sake of the elect the time will be shortened.

 

I once told my mother:  "You can go down, but I won't go with you."

 

She ended up born again when I gave her a section of scripture: Deuteronomy 18:9-12

 

I gave it to her because that is what the Holy Spirit told me to do.

 

Now I am doing what I know God tells me for me to do as an apostle and prophet.  "Write and record materials for the elect of God." 

 

***

 

In the really hard times ahead, the Podcasts I have recorded, especially those of Psalms & Proverbs, will have great wisdom for you to live by.  Turn on such recordings and bathe in them, setting your life by what God has said to us and enduring by these words as you see the world and the church groups go another way.

I Samuel 16 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

 

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him (David) in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

The day Mr. Trump met with the president of Ukraine at the White House, I happened on the live TV conference on TV news.  Terrible hostility was taking place.  Quickly, I turned the TV off, knowing God didn't want me to be involved.  (But my flesh wanted to know what was happening.  I'd never seen such hostility before on live TV.)

 

But I yielded to the Spirit of God and did not watch or listen.  (Still I wanted to hear.)

 

Later a caption came on TV saying all Ukrainians were ordered to leave the grounds of the White House.  (now I wanted to hear even more)

 

Pam Padgett was in my room at the time and reached down to my tables and took both of my TV remotes, removing both TV remotes from my room!  (I laughed and thanked her.) 

***

 

The next day when Pam returned the TV remotes, I still had a desire to see what happened.

💥  Instead, I reached down for my Kindle Tablet and pressed the play button and began listening to our recording of Proverbs 16.  

1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3 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.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD (fear of the Word) men depart from evil.

Because I care what God thinks about that which I do and I know God will lead me in the best way for me to go in this life, I did not listen to see what happened in the strife at the USA White House.  It would only be evil and disturb me to see this.

 

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.

(There is a continual fight to hold onto the way of God and to endure.)

 

I just kept listening to the recording of Proverbs 16.

 

***

 

By the time I finished hearing this recording of Proverbs, I was settled down again.  My flesh was controlled by these scriptures and my way was of God again and I avoided the curiosity of my own flesh!  And overcame through choosing God, the Word!

 

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 have to work to overcome our own flesh as we live on this earth.)

As we read the Bible, we must be diligent to do scriptures, handling the word of God correctly.

Scriptures:

Matthew 13:45-46  (Jesus said):   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Titus 2:13-14  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (The Word);

14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Psalm 37:7  Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him (for the Word): fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth (wicked) devices to pass. 

 

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 is coming.

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.

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

Today I was helped greatly as a result of the Proverbs we have just published.

 

I turned on my TV and a terrible strife was going on between President Trump, and the Vice-President USA, and the President of Ukrainian. 

 

The Holy Spirit reminded me of of this verse in Proverbs.

 

Proverbs 17:14       The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.  

 

And the Holy Spirit said to me:  "Walk away from strife."  

 

I turned the TV off.

 

The Word of God given to our minds by the Holy Spirit, turns us from evil and keeps us in peace and the way of God.

💥 Doing verses of scripture. Causing Jesus, the Word, to live in you.

 Here are some scriptures to do:

 

I Thessalonians 5

 

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit.

20 Despise not prophesyings.

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

💥 If we fail to do the Word of God, we handle the Bible incorrectly, reading but failing to apply the scriptures to our own life, therefore eating and drinking the Bible to our own damnation.

I Corinthians 11

 

25 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which HE was betrayed took bread: 24 And when HE had given thanks, HE brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also HE took the cup, when HE had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 For as often as ye eat this bread (of the New Testament), and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till HE come.

 

If you eat and drink the verses of the Bible unworthily, you bring damnation upon yourself.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

 

(If you fail to do the verses of the Bible in you life, applying verses properly, you mishandle the word of God bringing damnation upon yourself.)

28 But let a man examine himself (by the verses of scripture), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For HE that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).

 

31  For if we would judge ourselves (by the Bible), we should not be judged.

💥 Sharing about Lord's supper with daughter

Joseph Meriweather, member of the body of Christ

I had a dream about me and my daughter having supper. We was eating chicken and steak and also drinking wine. 

 

 When I woke up out of sleep. The thought came to me the lord supper. 

 

The same day I text my daughter and told her that the lord supper is not cracker and grape juice as most people think.  The lord supper is the word of God.

 
I Corinthian 11:25 After the same manner also HE took the cup, when HE had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in MY blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of ME.

 

I told my daughter that you must judge yourself with the word of God. Eating and drinking the word of God. Its been four days and I have not heard from her yet. 

 

Verse 29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Comments by Joan Boney:

 

When I was about 4 years old, and we visited my aunt, she would take me to church with her. (Church of Christ)

 

My aunt began explaining "The Lord's Supper" and how when I got older and joined the church, I could partake of the tray with crackers and grape juice.

 

I would watch my aunt solemnly eat a small piece of cracker and drink grape juice from a small cup.

 

The thing that stood out to me was this scripture:

 

I Cor. 11

 

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 

 

***

 

"But HOW do we examine ourselves?" I wondered?  I didn't want to eat "unworthily".

 

I went forward and was baptized in water at Church of Christ when I was 15.

Now I could partake of "The Lord's Supper".  I was terrified!  How do I "examine myself" to see if I am doing this in a correct way?

 

When I was 37, God spoke to me and caused me to be born again, giving me HIS HOLY Spirit to live in me ... God explained I Corinthians 11 to me.  "The Lord's supper is the eating and drinking of the Holy Bible.  You examine yourself by those verses of scripture which you read in the Bible, correcting yourself and conforming your way of life to verses of scripture as you live on this earth."

 

The Lord's supper has nothing at all to do with crackers and grape juice they are serving at church.  You are no better nor worse when you eat and drink crackers and grape juice at church.

 

You are better or worse when you read the Bible by the way you handle the scriptures.  If you conform to that verse of scripture...

 

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 (to the Bible), that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.   

 

Read the Bible. Do the scriptures.  Conforming your life to that which God says in the Bible by the Holy Spirit one verse at a time, making changes!
