💥 Podcast: Our door is Jesus, The Word

 

 

 

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 30, 2020)

 

The way to go on this earth is the way of Jesus, The Word.

The gates of hell will not prevail against that Word revealed to us by God concerning the matter at hand.

John 10

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I (The Word) am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I (The Word) am the door: by ME (The Word)  if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (The Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

27  My sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.

(No man or thing can take us out of HIS hand.)

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man (none) is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

We know the voice of God, of Jesus The Word.

We follow HIM and not strange voices of this world's thinking and of devils.

💥 Hebrews 11 (Reading through the Bible)

  

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

² For by it the elders obtained a good report.

³ Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek HIM.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

¹¹ Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged HIM faithful who had promised.

¹² Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE hath prepared for them a city.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
¹⁹ Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

(Isaac is called by God Abraham's only begotten son ... in God's sight this is true ... Abraham had another son, Ishmael, but God didn't count him as a son to Abraham.)

²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

²² By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.

²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest HE that destroyed the firstborn should touch them
.
²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

³² And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

³³ Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Comments by Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Everything is done by faith in God.

When we pray, we must first have faith that God will hear us.

When we stand on a scripture, we anchor our faith to that scripture, and we must believe that scripture will be fulfilled.

Isaiah 54:17    (for example)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD.

And it is our faith in that which God has said that causes us to have a good report.

💥 Podcast: Titus 3:9-11: After warning a person once or twice, just walk away from him and keep your peace

 

 

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 26, 2020)

 

We cannot live in peace while tying to live with those who say they are Christians when they will not do scripture and they are not led by the Spirit of God.  For we try to share truth from God with them and they argue with us ... or they go dead and say nothing, just waiting for us to stop talking so they can talk about this world and things they enjoy.

 

God has a way of escape for us and we must take that way of escape in order to live in peace.

 

Titus 3:9-11  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. 

 

After we try to share scripture once or twice, and we see them fail to rejoice in that scripture, then we have to just stop trying to share with them and we walk away and keep ourselves from being entangled again with them.

 

And avoid those who want to strive with us about our doctrine.  For to enter into this is very destructive.

 

We think we can cause them to understand, but we can't, when they have already rejected the doctrine which we carried to them.  To try to keep teaching them will pull us down with them.  So learn to do Titus 3:10-11  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

 

(No entanglements by phone calls, or Birthday cards, or things of the flesh of man to draw them into fleshly relationships.  Just leave them alone.  If they come to God, then they will come to us.)

 

There is only one Spirit ... so if we both have that Holy Spirit we will agree.  For if there is disagreement, God will cause us to agree.  We don't discuss it to agree.  We have God in us to explain scripture to us and we will be brought to agreement by the Spirit of God when we are both of God.

 

But we will never come to agreement otherwise.  If one person has the Spirit of God in him and the other person does not have the Spirit of God but is trying to come to God by joining a church and by doing church doctrine, we can't agree about scripture and things of God.

 

For Paul shows us the following:

 

I Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

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

💥 Hebrews 10 (Reading through the Bible)

 

 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. ² For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.³ But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

⁵ Wherefore when HE cometh into the world, HE saith, Sacrifice and offering THOU wouldest not, but a body hast THOU prepared Me: ⁶ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin THOU hast had no pleasure.

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do THY will, O God.

⁸ Above when He said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin THOU wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

⁹ Then said He, Lo, I come to do THY will, O God.

He taketh away the first, that HE may establish the second.

¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:


¹² But this man, after HE had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³ From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.

¹⁴ For by one offering (HIMSELF) He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁵ Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that He had said before,¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; ¹⁷ And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;


²¹ And having an high priest over the house of God;

²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)

²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ 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?

³⁰ For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; ³³ Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

³⁴ For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

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

³⁷ For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

³⁸ Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

³⁹ But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

💥 God is with us and able to help us, no matter what we face

 

Barbara Preston, member of the body of Christ ... 

 

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This morning when I read the above passage of scripture, the underlined part of verse 5 stood out to me.  The Lord is at hand...meaning HE is near, close to us, with us, readily accessible.

As I thought about this, I was reminded of the following experience I had recently and the strong assurance I felt that God was there with me...

A few days ago I had to go to the doctor for a physical exam.  I am grateful that God created people who want to become doctors, even though, most of the time,  I have a certain fear and dread when I need to go to one and really need to prepare myself for this.

I did this by talking to God, multiple times before the appointment, taking my fears and concerns to HIM, readying myself.  As I sat in the waiting room, I got my phone out and focused my thinking on the scripture I felt the Holy Spirit had called to my attention to help me...

Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am HE; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

As I sat there and thought about what God was telling me here, I could feel a calmness and confidence come over me.  I prayed that God would give the doctor wisdom and I prayed for wisdom to be given to me also.  I felt the presence of God and the belief that what God was promising here, HE would do for me.

We all have fears and concerns over one thing or another as we go through our lives. The important thing is to remember to take these feelings to God, pouring our hearts out before HIM,  not trying to hide anything from HIM because HE already knows it anyway.

When we do this we are demonstrating that our faith is in God.  HE is our strength and our help and will never fail us.

💥 Podcast: Before Jesus returns, God will shake the heavens and the earth

 

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 23, 2020) 

In the last days, God will cause the powers of heaven to be shaken and the earth shall move "out of her place" in the solar system.

Several years ago, God gave me a dream about this:  The earth slipped and moved on its axis.  People were terrified.  The governments of men were meeting with the scientists and religious leaders to see what could be done about this.  A TV newsman was telling the story and he was so frightened he just stopped in the middle of his report and got up and walked out of the studio.  He knew this was going to affect him too.

The Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, told of this in the following scripture:

Isaiah 13:13  God says:  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.

Since the beginning of creation, God has kept the earth in place in the solar system as we know it to be.  By HIS Word God created the heaven and the earth.  And this creation was perfect for sustaining life.

In the end of this world, it will all be changed by God and man will find there is nothing he can do to stop this from happening, though he will try to stop it.

Jesus described it as follows:

Matthew 24:29-31   Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Everything we can see with our natural eye will either be removed from this present earth or destroyed.

And every human will then appear to be judged by the Word of God and will receive for that which he has done in his lifetime whether good or bad.  (II Cor. 5:10)

Since we will be judged by The Word, we want to conform our lives to The Word, doing that which we see to do by the instruction given in the New Testament Bible.

So the apostle Paul tells us the following:

Romans 12:2  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.

*****

We must conform our own minds to the Word of God, being in agreement with the Holy Bible for it is by the Word we will be judged.

So we conform our thinking to that which God says about the subject.

- Divorce/remarriage

- Homosexual/lesbians

- Various types of sins of the flesh:  adultery, fornication, idolatry, superstitions of men, hate, variance, emulations, and other works of the flesh, for the apostle Paul tells us:  "They which do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."  (Galatians 5:21)

We must agree with God and change our way of thinking and change our way of living while we are on this present earth, considering the New Testament Bible in all things as the rule for the way to live while we are alive on this earth.

💥 Hebrews 9 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 

² For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. ³ And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; ⁴ Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

⁶ Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

⁷ But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

⁸ The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

⁹ Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; ¹⁰ Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

¹¹ But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; ¹² Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: ¹⁴ How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁵ And for this cause He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

¹⁶ For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

¹⁷ For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

¹⁸ Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
²⁰ Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

²¹ Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 

²² And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

²³ It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁴ For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

²⁵ Nor yet that HE should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; ²⁶ For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: ²⁸ So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

💥 Podcast: Belonging to God. Hearing from God. Following God.

 

 

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 3, 2020)

 

God speaks to us and we hear what He says and accept what He says and are born again, changed by God into a new creature, given the Spirit of God to live in us. 

 

From that time forward, God leads us by the Spirit of God bringing thoughts and concepts to our mind.  And we find then we want to know about God.  We are interested in things of God after we are born again.  And we are then led by God, by HIS Spirit. 

 

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

 

John 10:27-30  Jesus says: My sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME.  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.  I and MY Father are one. 

 

The Holy Spirit of Jesus lives in us.  The Holy Spirit teaches us and guides us.  And the Holy Spirit shows us which way to go as we deal with this present life.  

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The Holy Spirit teaches us and guides us by bringing thoughts, concepts, scriptures to our minds.

We will be thinking of doing something and when this is not the best thing for us to do, often the Holy  Spirit will bring us a thought showing us another way to go.

Examples: 

* A man in our church group came into his back yard and was looking at his storage shed which was filled with his "stuff".  He was thinking about adding another building to hold his stuff.  The Holy Spirit brought this to his mind:  "Why don't you just get rid of the stuff?"

* My house in Texas had gas logs in a fireplace.  I hardly ever turned them on.  One day I was driving down the road and a pickup carrying fireplace wood was driving along side of me.  I looked at the wood and thought, "I'd like to have a wood burning fireplace."  The Holy Spirit brought the following to my mind as a thought:  "You can have that."  Up to that point, I'd never considered changing to wood.  I did this the same day for I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking.

I find the ideas from God to be easy to accomplish, not complex, financially feasible.  

James 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 

*****

The thoughts that come from the Holy Spirit are usually in a very gentle voice.  

Sometimes I miss the thought at first and the Holy Spirit repeats it, bringing it again to my mind.  

I know the voice of God so when HE speaks I recognize HIS voice by the characteristics of James 3:17.

The devil also brings thoughts to our minds but the devil is trying to harm us.  His thoughts are often very negative.  He tries to drive us to do something.  Often fear is involved.  Ideas from devils are often complex and expensive.

John 10:10  Jesus says:  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The Holy Spirit is gentle and guides us and leads us rather than driving us.

The sheep do not follow devils but will flee from devils, says Jesus.  

(John 10:4-5  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.)

***

When your mind is filled with confusion, know that you do not have the leading of God and devils are tying to torment you.  

Pray and do nothing at all until you are calm again.

***

James 3

14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

(God knows all things, past, present and to come.)

***

James 3:6  And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

 

***

Romans 5:8- 9  But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

 

***

Philippians 4:4-7  Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

 

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

 

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

 

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10  And HE said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for MY strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

💥 Hebrews 8 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; ² A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

³ For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

⁴ For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: ⁵ Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith HE, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

⁶ But now hath HE obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

⁸ For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

⁹ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

¹³ In that HE saith, A new covenant, HE hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

💥 Podcast: Forgetting those things that are in the past and going forward in God

 

 

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 28, 2020)

 

When we allow ourselves to think on the past, we often become depressed or go in the way of destruction.  We cannot go forward if we linger in the past memories.

 

 The apostle Paul said to the church:  

 

 Philippians 3:12-15   Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:

 

 We cannot dwell in the past and go forward with God.

 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

 

 We must learn to live in the current season.

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.

💥 Hebrews 7 (Reading through the Bible)

 

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; ² To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; ³ Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

⁴ Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

⁵ And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

⁶ But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

⁷ And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

⁸ And here men that die receive tithes; but there HE receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that HE liveth.

⁹ And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

¹⁰ For HE was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met Him.

¹¹ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

¹² For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

¹³ For HE of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

¹⁵ And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, ¹⁶ Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

¹⁷ For HE testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

¹⁸ For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 

¹⁹ For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

²⁰ And inasmuch as not without an oath HE was made priest: 

²¹ (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

²² By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

²³ And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 

²⁴ But this man, because HE continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

²⁵ Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

²⁷ Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this HE did once, when HE offered up Himself.

²⁸ For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
