💥 They failed to have a love of the truth.

The downfall for many people in churches is they do not have a love of the truth of the Word of God.

They love the associations of other people at church.  They love the church building and the organ and music.  They love the pageant and ritual of the church services.  They love being able to say they attend a church.  It makes them feel an emotion of being righteous.

But they do not have a love of the scriptures of the Holy Bible.

There is a terrible penalty from God upon those who do not have a love of the truth that they might be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2  

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

(In 1982, God said to me:  The falling away are not individuals leaving the churches.  The falling away are churches leaving the scriptures and setting up other doctrines.)

💥💥💥

The apostate churches of the end times.

(When Jesus returns, HE will gather HIS elect and will destroy antichrist and the apostate churches.)

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I love the Bible, the Word of God, more than I love the church itself.  

When the preacher preaches something opposite to scripture, as often happens, I choose Bible over what he says.  

I have departed from several churches for this reason, what they were teaching was opposite to that which I read in the Bible.

As a new Christian in 1975, my best friend said, "Joanie, you have to go to church."  

I said, "I do?"

So I began attending the church which she and her husband attended, a small non-denominal church where the pastors were professors at Dallas Theological Seminary.

When I began attending that church the head pastor was teaching a seminar entitled, "Tongues are of the devil."

One day I was reading the Bible and saw the following scripture.

The apostle Paul said:  

I Corinthians 14:39   Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

(The church I was attending was being taught exactly opposite from what the Bible says!)

I told this to my friend, Donna, as we were driving along the highway.  She said, "Let me see that." and she pull the car off the road and stopped. 

I always carried a small New Testament Bible in my purse.  I found the scripture and showed it to Donna.  She was shocked and said, "Let's go to my house and look up that scripture in each translation of the NT Bible."  

We did that and every translation said the same thing:  Forbid not to speak in tongues in the church.

I said, "I'm not going back to that church."  Donna said, "Neither am I."

We both left.

The love of scripture must be greater in us than anything else in this entire world!

💥💥💥

Later God showed me this is antichrist, the apostasy of the end time in the church, when I see people in church groups who are believing something opposite to verses of scripture in the Holy Bible.

If a person fails to love the truth of the Word of God, the Bible shows us that person will be turned over by God to live in a strong delusion so he can believe a lie and then at the second coming of Jesus that person will be damned.  (2 Thess. 2:11-12)

So pray for God to give you a love of the truth that you may be saved.

For to fail to love the Word of God is to fail to love Jesus who is The Word.

And if a church is teaching something opposite from Bible or omitting some scriptures, leave that church group. For it is a church of the apostasy.

💥 Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus. Men breaking away from the church and speaking perverse things and starting other denominations.

 

When did these different church denominations begin?

We can tell by these words which Paul spoke to the elders of the church at Ephesus that men among them were just waiting for their opportunity to "speak perverse doctrines" to the church group, drawing them away from doctrines of Christ.  (Acts 20:29-30)

Even in the days of Paul antichrist was trying to divide the church, speaking doctrines opposite to the Bible.  This is the apostasy of the end times. It happened in the days of Paul and John.  And the falling away from scripture in churches would get worse and worse up to the coming of Jesus and the end of the present world.

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

Acts 20  (Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus)

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

(Antichrist moving into the church by men speaking perverse doctrines and setting up denominations with doctrines of men, dividing the body of Christ.)

Prove all doctrine through prayer and reading the scriptures. 

Many churches today have fallen away from many New Testament scriptures.  That is the end time apostasy and antichrist in the church.

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.

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Hebrews 10:26-31  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.

Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:

Romans 1:21-28  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

💥 James 1:26-27

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

I Corinthians 6:1-8  

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Genesis 14:21-23  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Podcast: Where there is envy, strife, and divisions, Paul says:"Ye are carnal and walk as men."

 

 

 

 

I Corinthians 3  (Paul says)

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

💥💥💥

At the prayer group I attended when I was a new Christian, God would often give me a word of knowledge and I would share that with that group.

One day the leader of the group said:  "God is no respecter of persons.  If HE will give Joan Boney that word, HE will give me that word."

I believe this woman showed herself to be carnal.

It doesn't matter who is given a word from God.  What we delight in is getting to hear that word.

We glory in the word not in the person who receives the word.

💥💥💥

I Corinthians 3

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

💥💥💥

Envy, strife, divisions in the body of Christ are evil.

So if any has in his heart these things, pray that you many be cleansed and made right by God.

We must not live as the world lives, competing in our hearts against one another or trying to out do one another.  We delight in the Word of God and joy in hearing when someone among us has a word from God.

Once a church woman said to me:  "How can I compete with a person who has been taken into heaven twice?  (Meaning me)  Later when I mentioned what she had said, she said she didn't say that.  It seems that sometimes a person gives himself over for devils to use his mouth and then they don't even know they have spoken something evil.

When envy and strive and divisions hides in our heart, it shows one way or the other.

Repent and pray for God to give you a new heart and a new spirit if you recognize this in your heart.

I know when I receive an email from one in the church, I rush to open it to see what God has revealed to that person and I marvel in that which God shares through that person.

Certainly there are times they speak and really are just trying to say something and I know that and their word has no power.   (They will receive for that when their work is evil that comes through them.)

I Corinthians 3

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Examine your heart to see what is really in your heart.

If true joy, let joy come forth.

But if you are pretending to rejoice, repent.

A few days ago, I wrote something and a woman said:  "Amen" and I recognized this as truly coming from her heart on the matter at hand and her word which was pure caused joy in me. She truly meant, "Let it be so."

Thus when it is a true and pure reaction from our heart one to another we will be blessed by God.

If it is feigned, pretended trying to make oneself be something, that person will suffer loss in heaven.

Keep your heart pure and true!

Be good and good will come forth from you.

If an evil heart is lurking or a grain of resentment has been stored in our heart, then evil will come from our heart.

If we are good, good will surface from us.

James 3:14-16  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Jesus says:

Matthew 12:33  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

When I sense evil lurking in my heart, I usually pray:  

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

"Forgive me God."

💥 Instruction to a prophet and from a prophet of God to you today.

When God instructed me in the office of a NT prophet to the church, God instructed me as follows:

Ezekiel 3  God said

1 Moreover HE said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

2 So I opened my mouth, and HE caused me to eat that roll.

3 And HE said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

4 And HE said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them.

5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

10 Moreover HE said unto me, Son of man, all MY words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.

11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at MY mouth, and give them warning from ME.

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and HE said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.

24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

God says:  You cannot continue to be around the disobedient who sin against MY word, for to walk with them is to approve them in their sin and is to cast ME aside before their eyes.

Podcast: If a brother in Christ is continuing to commit sins

 

 

 

 

 I Corinthians 5

1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Puffed up:  feeling "How could you possibly do that?  I wouldn't do that."

Mourned:  grieving over that brother

3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

We cannot allow wickedness to sit with us in the church. It will eat through the church as an unattended "canker" (cancer).

7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

💥💥💥

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

12  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

💥💥💥

If a "brother" in Christ be found to be a sinner you must put him away from you.  He knows the doctrine of Christ and is willfully sinning.  

He cannot be instructed since he already knows this is a sin.  Therefore there is nothing we can say.

We turn him over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh.  We do this by separating from him and by refusing to keep company with him.

And we do this that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Hebrews 10:26-31  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.

2 Peter 2:17-22

17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

In the last days before Jesus returns, many churches will fall away from doctrines of Christ and will set up doctrines of antichrist and the apostasy will be rampant in the churches.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scripture."

When Jesus comes the second time HE will raise the dead in Christ and send HIS angels to gather the elect of God who are still alive on this earth.  And Jesus will destroy antichrist and the apostate churches.

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 (Jesus) 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.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Doing The Word Of God

 

Chapter 1 

 

We are GOD's workmanship created in Christ Jesus, The Word, unto good works

 

Philippians 1

Paul says:

6 Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

(God who began a good work in us and revealed Jesus Christ, The Word, to us will perform in us that work to the end when Jesus returns to gather the church.)

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ (The Word of God), unto the glory and praise of God.

Ephesians 2

1 And you hath HE quickened (made alive), who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (manner of life) in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for HIS great love wherewith HE loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

(We were dead with the world, living as the world, but God chose us not because we were good or worthy but just because it was HIS will that we be saved, raised from the dead of this world and put into the body of Christ as HIS own children.)

6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come HE might shew the exceeding riches of HIS grace in HIS kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (The Word).

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (The Word) unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God creates each of us to do HIS will and HIS work.  

God gave Pam Padgett the spiritual gift of "helps" so she could do the technical computer work so we could publish ministry blog, books (Amazon), and Podcasts, to send spiritual exhortations to the body of Christ daily around the entire world.

I Corinthians 12  (Spiritual gifts)

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church (to work in the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

💥💥💥

God set me in the body of Christ and ordained me as apostle and prophet according to Ephesians 4:11-12.

Ephesians 4:8; 11-12  Wherefore  HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.  And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

(The New Testament Church and all the ministry offices are gifts given to the church after Jesus arose, after the crucifixion and resurrection.  And from heaven Jesus calls each member of the body of Christ to be children of God.  And Jesus teaches each of us by HIS Holy Spirit who lives in each of us.  He brings to our mind the Word of God and teaches us all things and even guides us into all truth.)

John 14:26  (Jesus says)  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

To some God gave families and prepared husbands and wives to do HIS will on this earth as they are lights to their own children and neighbors in the word of God.  You are HIS workmanship.  Placed to do HIS will on this earth.

Do not try to copy another but depend at all times for God to prepare you for that which you have been assigned by God, following the Holy Spirit of God, doing that which God has placed in your mind and in your heart.

💥💥💥

Jesus says:

John 15:16  Ye have not chosen ME, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in MY name, HE may give it you.

I was following my own ambitions and desires when God spoke to me on August 5, 1975, and said.  "Joan ... you know all these mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."

I was greatly shocked as the apostle Paul was shocked when Jesus spoke to HIM on the road to Damascus. 

Acts 9  (Jesus speaks to Paul)

3 And as he (Saul, later named Paul) journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt THOU have me to do? 

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

💥💥💥

God speaks directly to our minds also and causes us to be born again by HIS Word.

With this word God spoke to me in 1975, HE caused me to be born again, made into a new creature, instantly changed from that person I had been.

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.

💥💥💥

Our bodies look the same to humans that we have been friends with in the world, but inside, after God speaks to us, we are no longer as we once were.  We now have a new heart and a new spirit given to us by God.

Ezekiel 36:23-27  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.  

(They will see you are different.)

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.

(After I was born again, I no longer wanted to be with the worldly people that I had been with.  Now I wanted to be with children of God.  I wanted to read the Bible.  I wanted to hear about God.)

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.

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

💥💥💥

A few nights after I was born again in 1975, I was transported into heaven as I slept in the night.

I was with God and with Christ, and with the Holy Spirit.  

(I saw no physical images.  It was a spiritual experience.)

At that time, I was "merged into the body of Jesus", made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.

A few nights after that, the exact same thing happened to me a second time.

I believe at that time of being made one with the Word of God, I was ordained into the 2 ministry offices to which I was placed by God in the body of Christ, apostle and prophet.  And it was God who taught me the work of the ministry in these two offices.  The Holy Spirit led me through the Bible, taking me from scripture to scripture, teaching me, for the next 5 years.

When it was time for me to do ministry work as apostle and prophet, I was asleep in the night on January 10, 1980, when a trumpet-like voice spoke 3 words into my ear.  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"

(I believe that voice that spoke to me was an angel of God carrying to me a message from God.)

I jumped out of bed, and wrote the letters "KWJS" on a note pad, not wanting to get these letters mixed up because I felt immediately they were call letters to either radio or television.

When I found these letters to be a radio station I spoke to God and said:  "Are YOU telling me to go on radio?  I wouldn't know how to do that."

The Holy Spirit brought to my mind:  "Call the radio station manager."  

(Which I did that same morning.)

I told the station manager God might be showing me to go on radio.  And I asked, "How would you do that?"

The station manager said:  "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting we will offer you a contract."

I recorded a tape that same morning and mailed it to the station manager and within 5 days I was on KWJS exhorting the church.

We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus, "The Word" that comes down to us from heaven.

Our assignments differ, but God is the author.  And HE puts us into the body of Christ and does as HE wills with us.  We simply do what we believe God has told us to do.

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

💥 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Podcast: What the Bible says

 

 

 

Recently, the thought came to my mind, "Is there any place in the Bible where we are told there will be a rise in homosexual/lesbians in the last days?"

Immediately I was reminded of this scripture:

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, 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, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Concerning being without natural affections:

Romans 1:26-28

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

💥💥💥

Once my cleaning lady asked me, "But what about those homosexuals who say they were just born that way?"

I turned to God with this question and was reminded of the following:

Jesus said:

Mark 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

They were born male or female but God turned them over when they failed to acknowledge HIS truth.

Romans 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

💥💥💥

From what the Bible says, we certainly should expect to see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the last days.

And we can see from the Bible God's thinking on this subject.

Deuteronomy 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

There is no place in either the Old or New Testament where God approves homosexuals or lesbians.  Sodom is given to us as one example of God's dealing with this issue.

Genesis 19  (God sends 2 angels to destroy Sodom)

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

(Angels have the form of natural men.)

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

(Homosexuals came from every quarter of the city of Sodom with the intention of having sex with the 2 men who came to Lot's house.)

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

(know them:  have sex with them)

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men (who were angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 And the men (the angels) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered, the men (angels) laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21 And he (the angel) said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

25 And HE overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife (Lot's wife) looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when HE overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

2 Peter 2

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

(Lot knew the deeds of the men of the city of Sodom were "wicked", see Genesis 19:7 )

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

💥💥💥

Genesis 13

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

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

💥💥💥

Before God destroys this present heaven and earth, we should see a rise in homosexuals and lesbians in the nations of this earth and in the approval shown them by the nations of this earth.

As Christians, we live in peace, knowing what we can expect to see is foretold by God in the Bible.

The perilous times of 2 Timothy 3 as stated in the Bible.
