πŸ’₯ After we are saved, we want to please God.


We please God by conforming ourselves to the Word of God.

"One step at a time.  One step at a time.  It is enough."  Said God to me. 

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.

As I read the Bible and do the Word of God, I am formed in the image of Christ, after I am born again as that new creature, having the Spirit of God so we can follow that which HE brings to our mind which is the way of God. 

When the temptations of this life come, now we have a mighty power through God to overcome.  We ask God for help when tempted and God makes a way of escape for us.  Usually God will call a scripture to our mind and we choose to go with that scripture, overcoming the temptations and thoughts of the flesh and devil which would take us to destruction.

Revelation 3:5  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.

The devil sends thoughts to our mind but we overcome by the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures which the Holy Spirit brings to our mind in the temptation and we fight with those scriptures, choosing to do the Word of God.

2 Timothy 3:16-17  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

This is a promise of God to us, the church.
 
Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).

Do you believe this?  or not?

πŸ’₯ Psalm 1

 
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS  law doth he meditate day and night.

(The Law of the Lord:  The Word of God)

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

(He is nourished by the Word of God and drinks of that Word of God and his strength comes by that Word of God.)

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Jesus, the Word, is the way to go.

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME (The Word).

Live in peace, without spot, and blameless as you wait for the coming of Jesus.

2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

1 Timothy 6

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)

 
We are saved by faith.

God speaks to us.  We believe.  And are saved.

But we are saved not to sin but rather when God chooses to reveal HIS Word to us and we believe and are saved, it is so we can live to God by faith instead of serving ourselves as we once did.

God changes us instantly after HE speaks to us.

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

We are instantly "new creatures".

It is the will of God and God chose us to salvation.  It is certainly not because we were good and deserved salvation.  At least most of us didn't.  It was simply the will of God that we were saved.

It doesn't make sense to most people.  But to those of us who are born again by God by HIS Spirit we know we didn't earn being born again.  It just happened.  All of a sudden God caused us to be new creatures.

Podcast: Mistakes? or sins?

 
 
 
 
(Joan Boney)

On August 5, 1975, I was reading a book about sin when God spoke to me and said:

"Joan ... you know all these mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."

"Sins?" I gasped!  I thought they were mistakes.

With that word, God revealed HIS truth to me and caused me to be born again, giving me HIS Holy Spirit to live in me and teach me and guide me into all truth!

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In 2021, the New York Times revealed an email sent in previous years by an NFL coach where he showed his "hatred" against a black person by saying, "His lips are as thick as Michelin tires."

This coach was forced to resign as NFL football coach.  

He said he was sorry to have hurt anyone with this statement.  He said he was sorry he sent the email.  "It was a mistake."  

He did not realize that hatred is "a sin" and that he revealed hatred against this other person when he said this word. Hatred was in his heart. That which comes out of our mouth reveals that which is in our heart. (Mt. 12)

Many people of this world think they have made a mistake when actually what they did is a sin.

Galatians 5

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

I Corinthians 6

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

When the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin, we are born again, given a new heart and a new Spirit by God.  Recreated into a new creature!

II Corinthians 5:17   Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Ezekiel 36  (God says)

23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

πŸ’₯ Incompetency: Lack of Understanding

 
One of the problems of the end time will be a lack of understanding in people.  They will grow to be worse and worse and they will twist the stories they speak and it will be increasingly difficult to determine what is really true in that which they speak.

For so many of them will belong to the devil and there is no truth in the children of devils.

Jesus says:

John 8

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love ME: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but HE sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand MY speech? even because ye cannot hear MY word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Corruption breeds corruption:  So many individuals will delight in being around corrupt people and so they will be corrupt, lying for personal gain, having no integrity.

During the telecasts after the Uvalde killings, a mother of one of the victims said:  "I hope those police who stood there allowing that shooter to kill children ... I hope they will not be able to sleep at night."

I thought:  "If they have any integrity they will not be able to sleep at night because of their failure to act properly."  But the problem is they likely have no integrity and therefore will twist the story and try to explain their lack of action away ... like their father the devil twists stories.

(Don't worry:  God will judge  them.)

Romans 19:12  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

2 Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection (homosexual and lesbian: Romans 1:26-27), trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness (attending church), but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

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

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

Through God we endure in spite of them.

Podcast: The apostle Paul says: My God will supply all your needs (Phil. 4:19)

 

 
 
We, as Christians, trust in God.

The people of this world often trust in men and in governments of men.

The world frets over gas prices and over the prices of food and over shortages.

But we know this truth from God.

Philippians 4:19  (The apostle Paul says:)  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

πŸ’₯ God shows Daniel what "kings" of last days will be like.

 
Daniel 8  (The kings of the end times)

11   He magnified himself 

23  A king of fierce countenance

24  He shall destroy wonderfully

25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:

(Hitler was especially good in destroying by peace ... for he came saying peace while he was planning war.)

Daniel 11

3  And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

(He does what he wants to do and pays no attention to his advisors:  Both Adolph Hitler and Donald Tromp have ruled this way.)

4  And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

11   shall be moved with choler, 

choler: having ready disposition to irritation; irascibility; anger; wrath; resentment; bitterness; malice; spitefulness; venom; antipathy; malevolence; virulence; animosity; hostility; poison; bad blood; feeling ill will toward others

(Again both Hitler and Trump have been moved with choler.)

12  his heart shall be lifted up and he shall cast down many

15  neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

(His own chosen people shall not be able to withstand his will ... Hitler & Trump)

19 But he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

Another king arises in his place:  (Daniel 11:20) but in a few days he shall be destroyed.

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

30  and have indignation against the holy covenant

32  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

36  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

(No woman will control him.)

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

45   yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

(Consider Hitler:  in the end none could help him.  HE listened to no one.  He often killed those who objected to what he said or did.  But the end came for him.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble (The Great Tribulation), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Podcast: What it is like in heaven, according to the Bible

 
 
 
 
God will give us new bodies before we are taken into heaven:

1 Corinthians 15

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(Blink:  That is how fast we will be changed into our new spiritual bodies.)

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness:

Revelation 21:1-5

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.

πŸ’₯ A sign of the great tribulation that comes upon the whole world.

 
Comments by Joan Boney:

Amos 5

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

One problem will come on top of another problem:  (And some of these problems will strike large portions of the earth at one time ... and some such as Coronavirus will be all over the world.)

* Coronavirus
* Great heat 
* Great fires
* Wars
* Poison of seas and rivers
* Fish die in the waters
* Pollution of sea with "blood"
* Signs in sky:  great star falls from heaven
* 1/3 part of sun, moon, and stars smitten (darkness)

* Locust with power to hurt men:  Revelation 9:  1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:  
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

* Another plague:  Revelation 9  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

* Sores will come upon men.  They will be very bad smelling and very grievous.
* Death in the seas
* Rivers and waters become as blood
* Great darkness upon men
* Spirits of devils working miracles will come upon the earth and will deceive men

* Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

These are plagues sent upon this world by God at the time of The Great Tribulation.  

(Revelation 8; 9; 14;15;16)

Podcast: Glorifying God by following God and by sharing what God has told us

 
 
 
 
Humans usually share that which they have done so other humans will respect and admire them in their works.

But we, who are of God, share that which God has done for us, thereby giving glory to God and even suffering shame for the sake of God as Jesus did.

Each time we share what God has told us or what God has done for us, we give glory to God.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Jesus says:

Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

πŸ’₯ Uvalde Series Report: 611 downloads

 
Every human who is Christian needs the information provided on the Uvalde Series Report.

My favorite aunt was a life time Church of Christ member.  Before she died, I spoke with her by phone.  She asked:  "What do you think happens when we die?" I replied, "We fall asleep."  She said: "That's what I think too."

(Many churches fail to teach this.)

In the Uvalde series God gave me additional understanding as to what happens to us when we die which each of us need to know.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In the Bible, Jesus shows us death is like "falling asleep."

πŸ’₯  John 11:11-14  (When Lazarus died he fell asleep.)  These things said HE (JESUS): and after that HE saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12 Then said HIS disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯ James 2:27  The body without the Spirit is dead:  

The Holy Spirit reminded me of this which shows us we are not sleeping in a grave under the ground.  At the moment of death, our spirit (soul) leaves our body and sleeps in Jesus.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯  

πŸ’₯ I Thess. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.)

15-18  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep. 

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

We will be given new spiritual bodies before we are taken into the new heaven.

I Corinthians 15:49-51  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

God will destroy this present heaven and earth with fire:

2 Peter 3:10-14  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. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,  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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In our new spiritual bodies, we will be taken to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness:

Revelation 21:1-5  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.  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. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

πŸ’₯ Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind to Word of God. (Romans 12:2)

 
This world speaks many things.  But we read the Bible and God opens our eyes to see the truth and we follow what God says, being renewed by the Word from God.

The world frets over many things:  climate control which they think they can change; bodily exercise which they think extends their lives; the foods they eat and the foods they don't eat by which they think they can extend their years on this earth.

But when we read the Bible, we see many things opposite to that which they, of this world, spoke to us.

I want to build my house on that which God says, for I know it never fails.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Climate control:  

Genesis 8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Matthew 24:29-31  Jesus says:  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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Bodily exercise:  I Timothy 4:7-8  But refuse profane (secular) and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Foods we eat:  I Timothy 4:3-5  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Length of life:  Proverbs 3:1-2  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

They say:  "All die."   I Corinthians 15:49-52  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

God gives us a new heavenly body when HE raises us from this earth.

Some in this world say:  "All things work together for good."

But what the Bible says is this:

Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.

Read the Bible for truth and pray for God to open your eyes to HIS truth.

August 8, 2022 - Podcast: My kingdom is not of this world

 
 
 

When we understand this, it is much easier to live in peace.

John 18:36  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

This world will be destroyed by God at the end.

2 Peter 3

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.

God creates a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The apostle John described that new heaven and new earth in the following scripture:

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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

When we are taken into heaven, we will be changed out of these current fleshly bodies into new spiritual bodies.

Paul explains:

I Corinthians 15

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

πŸ’₯ To school principal: Robb Elementary School, Uvalde Texas


7-28-22

From: Dr. Joan Boney

Dear Principal:

I listened to your interview on CNN. 

As soon as I heard of the shootings on May 24, I wanted to help the families at Uvalde.  

I have many things which deal with destructive thoughts which I learned from God and believe will help.

We started placing advertisements in the Uvalde bi-weekly newspaper beginning on July 17.  The information published in the Uvalde newspaper will appear through August 7, 2022.

I believe these recordings would also help you in dealing with your issues through God.

And I am asking you to tell the survivors about these recordings which I think will calm their anger and pain if they can receive this help provided by God.

I know what you are going through is terrible and only through God is there real healing.

The apostle Paul said:

Philippians 3:13-14  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.

For you:  The memories will come but you must make yourself go forward in God by simply saying to God:  "God ... please help me."  (and God will give you the help you need to go forward doing HIS will)

(I suspect there are many things God would have you to do in future to help people and God will show you and even good can come as you go forward.)

Each time the devil reminds you of what happened, just cry out to God:  "God help me!"  

The only real help any of us have comes through God.

I hope you can listen to these recording which I made for the Uvalde people but which will help anyone who trusts in God.

Joan Boney
