Psalm 17: 4-5

4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of THY lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

5 Hold up my goings in THY paths, that my footsteps slip not.

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.

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/lesbians/ and mothers who kill their own babies by abortion), 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.

Romans 1  (God's statement and view concerning homosexual & lesbian)

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;

By those verses of scripture in the Holy Bible, I can see God 's view of sin.

Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

 

1 John 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 

 

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.

1 Thessalonians 5:24  Faithful is HE that calleth you, WHO also will do it.

 

Many years ago this scripture was given to me during a trial I was going through. I was reminded again last 11/29/23.

 

This scripture has been very encouraging to me.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

One day God gave me the following Word: "The flesh never improves. It never gets any better."

 

No matter how long we have been born again (having the Holy Spirit living within us) we still carry this flesh with us for as long as we live on this earth.

 

And even though we are different after we are born again, our flesh remains the same sinful, worldly flesh we have always had. 

Galatians  5

17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

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.

Only now we are able to overcome by God’s Spirit which lives within us. 

 

I am reminded of this scripture … 1 John 4:4…greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Psalm 34:7  The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.

 💥 Cathy Varner   

 

I sometimes am encouraged by thinking on some of the verses of Psalm 107, that tell us that even if we’ve failed and done wrong, we can repent and still turn to God for His help.

 

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

 

12 Therefore HE brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

 

13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saved them out of their distresses.

 

14 HE brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

 

15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

 

16 For HE hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

 

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

 

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

 

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saveth them out of their distresses.

 

This may be a small example -

 

I often walk my dog in an area behind our house where there are paths that lead to a woods. I was wearing my winter coat and had a pair of driving gloves in the pockets. I had a thought to take the gloves out because I might accidentally drop one while getting other things from my pockets, such as dog treats or leash.

 

Unfortunately I didn’t act on that (thought/instruction) and continued to leave the gloves in the pockets. After a time, I did lose one of those gloves. I was sorry for my failure to act on that thought and asked God to please let me find that glove, although I rarely wear those gloves and knew it was not that important.

 

Probably several months went by. I would keep looking along the paths or wherever I thought I’d been. This area is right next to a field. During this time there were some strong winds on some days, winter came with snow, and then finally the field got plowed up. It didn’t seem like there was any hope that the glove would be found or be in good condition, especially if it had been in the field.

 

Then one day I was out in the yard and was so surprised to see that glove right in our yard, several feet away from the field. It was in good condition, besides a tiny rip, which may have been there previously, I can’t remember. 

 

I was so amazed and thankful that God kept it and let me find it after so long a time.

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. 

 

I am learning that it is important not to focus on what people in the world see as life or success. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (I Cor. 3:19) and causes you to compare yourself to others. My focus should be on doing HIS Word.

The apostle Paul says: 

2 Corinthians 10:12  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

💥 Jesus had a plan but HIS disciples had another plan.

 

Matthew 14

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and HE healed their sick.

15 And when it was evening, HIS disciples came to HIM, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither to ME.

19 And HE commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, HE blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to HIS disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Podcast: Live in peace. Live in the joy of the Word that God brings you from heaven.

 

 

 

Jesus says:

John 15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, HE shall testify of ME:

John 14:26  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.

💥💥💥

It is not flesh and blood that teaches us but it is God by HIS Spirit WHO opens our eyes to see truth from God.

Matthew 16  

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

(The rock that the church is built upon is the WORD revealed by God to the individuals who are born again by the Spirit of God.  This is the New Testament church that came after Jesus was crucified and taken into heaven.  From heaven we hear the voice of God and are born again by the Spirit of truth.)

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

Hymn: I'm pressing on the upward way

(Click forward arrow > to play music:)

(www.hymnal.net):

1.  I’m pressing on the upward way, 
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Chorus:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Heaven's tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.


2.  My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 

3.  I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

4.   I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

Scripture pertaining to this hymn:

v. 3.  I want to live above the world,

Matthew 7:24-27    Jesus says    whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

We live above the world by doing that Word given us by God by HIS Spirit.  We press on to higher ground each time we hear the Word of God and do the Word of God.  We build our house on the Word of God by doing the Word of God and when we live that way, our house will never fall!

And we are recreated in the image of Christ each time we do the Word of God.

***

v. 4   But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground. 

James 4:7   Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Pray:  Pour your heart out to God if anything concerns you.

Then use that scripture or concept to build yourself in the faith, thereby resisting the thoughts sent by the devil with that which God has brought to your attention by His Spirit.

Keep focused on that which God has given you in the matter at hand and every time a memory comes that would pull  you  down, make your mind return to thinking about that which God has given you in the issue. 

II Corinthians 10:3-5    For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

💥 Sharing by the Holy Spirit is Power of God

I have both daily writings on blog and daily recordings of Podcasts to share with the church.

Sometimes I will record or write several days in advance.  I often record one Podcast and then another subject comes to my mind and then another.   I consider this to be the Holy Spirit showing me to present these subjects.  This is what the body of Christ needs to hear that day.

You can even go ahead and send more than one thing.  Pam has postings set up for several days at a time. She will take care of it.  So don't hesitate to send multiple exhortations.  Please put date the exhortation is to be printed at top of exhortation or number the exhortation by subject.

 

💥💥💥

 

Please follow Holy Spirit in sharing.  When the Holy Spirit calls a scripture to mind that is the scripture God wants us to share or to focus on when we read Bible.  God just gets my attention on that verse and I get hung up and don't way to go past it.  If I do go past, I keep being pulled back.  Share That.

Or if you are reminded of a scripture, share that.

Sometimes I will open Bible and begin reading and pass several verses and hit a section which catches my attention.  That is the Holy Spirit.  Focus on that verse.  Share that verse.  Highlight that when writing.

Example:

Matthew 16

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked HIS disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but MYFather which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

(The rock upon which the Holy Spirit is built is the word God brings down from heaven to us.)

Don't look for a scripture to share.

Instead read and share that which "stands out to you" .... Share by that which the Holy Spirit causes to stand out ... For yourself focus on that scripture and drain every drop of blood from that verse.  Read it, look up key words in dictionary, and above all, do the instruction.

I try to share everything that is called to my mind by the Holy Spirit: scripture & things that God did for me

If KJV translators add a word, you can use your strike though key and mark a line through that added word.  This lets us know that word was added by KJV translators.  They, the translators, were faithful to the original to show the reader when they had added something not in the original.

Here is a very interesting example of a difference their adding made to a scripture:

I Corinthians 7:38  So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

(Translators of KJV added the word "her" twice in above verse.  Here is the difference it causes in interpretation.)

I Corinthians 7:38  So then he that giveth in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth not in marriage doeth better.

Paul is saying it is better not to marry.

39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

💥💥💥

Highlight  & color word red ,  Then tap the strike through icon on the top of computer screen page. 

Example:

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Scripture:  bold/italic/Red

Text of scripture: bold/ italic black

Size of print: Normal 

Strike through:  Words added by the translator to show these italic words were added. 

There are times I will put a text of scripture before the scripture reference.  In such cases here is the way I do that.  

The Lord is my shepherd,  (Psalm 23:1)

💥💥💥

Example:

To emphasize a word inside the text:  The LORD is my shepherd

Sometimes I will simply underline a section .

I John 1:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:

God speaks to us.  Devils also bring thoughts to us.  Some ideas some from our own flesh.

Sometimes it is clearly God speaking to us.  Other times devils just go too far and reveal themselves.

Example:

The body of the man who installed my car sound amplifiers is covered with tattoos.  My first impression of him was not a good impression.  But he did a great job building a rack for the trunk and placing the amps out of the way in the car and the sound is very good in the car.  I gave him a nice "tip" because he did such good work.  

The next day I saw a very frightening true story on TV of a woman who was on a plane hijacked in Egypt.  (By watching this TV show, I believe I gave an opening for the devil to attack me with fear.)

Later a thought came:  "That man who installed your sound system in car knows where you live.  He also know you have money because of your tip.  He is going to break into your house and steal from you.  You'd better get some bullets for your gun."

I was really frightened!  But is this a warning from God or is this another spirit trying to disturb me?

I concluded it was a devil and not God.

I tried that spirit as the apostle John said to do in I John 4:  I said:  "spirit that brought me the thought about the sound installer,  Do you confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh?"  I heard:  "No."

***

I John 4

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

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

(I believe we must do this.)

Proverbs 31:30  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

(JB ... Now this is the right way to go ... spiritual and not carnal)

Joshua 1:8   

This book of the law (the scriptures from Holy Bible) shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Titus 2  (about women)

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

***

I Timothy 2  (Paul says: about women)

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

***

I Corinthians 14

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Comments by Joan Boney:

When God showed me I was called to be a minister, I said to God, what about that which Paul said in I Corinthians 14 about women keeping silence in the church?  God said to me, "Look at what these women were doing."

I looked at verses 34-35 and felt these women were disturbing the gathering of the church by asking questions.  The church at that time met in homes and it would be very easy in home meeting for women to try to take over with questions.  

Then God showed me these women:

Anna:

Luke 2  

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of HIM to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Prophets are sent to the church to speak messages from God to the church.

***

4 daughters of Philip who did prophesy:

Acts 21 

8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

 

Prophecy is for the church. These 4 daughters who did prophecy, would have to speak in the church to do prophesy.

***

Deborah  who judged Israel:

Judges 4  

3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he (the ruler) had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.

8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

9 And she said, I will surely go with thee:

Comments by Joan Boney:

In January, 1980, an angel of the Lord spoke 3 words into my ear while I slept:  "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS"

By that God put me on radio in the United States to exhort the churches from city to city, coast to coast.

Then in 2010, God gave me a dream and by that dream showed me to start a blog and exhort the church by blog all over the world through writings.

Then in 2015, God showed me to write books exhorting the church by books published on Amazon.

Then in 2020, through another dream, God showed me to exhort the church in things of God by Podcast.

God persuaded me by these things to exhort the church, mostly by writings.

I have not been persecuted by the churches because I'm a woman but I have been greatly persecuted because of the messages God had me speak to the churches, especially messages concerning corruption in the church through big time radio and TV ministers.

I have no disagreement with the apostle Paul and I love Paul and God greatly used things Paul said in Bible to teach me about the Holy Spirit and to teach how to present materials from God to the churches thought my writings and Podcast.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

***

This morning while reading in Matthew 6, verse 13, I was reminded of something that happened many years ago.

I usually took my dogs for a walk in our neighborhood each day and would take a plastic bag to pickup after the dogs. One day, however, I forgot to take a plastic bag so was unable to pickup after the dogs. I noted where we were with the intention of going back later and taking care of this.

Shortly after I got home, however, the doorbell began ringing over and over. I looked out the door's peephole and saw 2 young girls (approximately 12 years old) standing on my porch hitting the doorbell button over and over as fast as they could. This made a terrible noise in my house. I was very irritated when I opened the door, intending to yell at the girls for doing this.

But when I opened the door, nothing would come out of my mouth.

Then the girls pointed out a plastic sack obviously containing dog droppings which they had put on my porch. They began telling me that I should pickup after my dogs. The spirit in the girls was very bad and I wanted to strongly reprimand them.

But the only thing that came out of my mouth was very quietly saying, "I usually take a plastic bag but forgot to do so today."

Unexpectedly to me, this completely stopped the girls from saying another word. They quietly turned and walked away.

I threw the bag they left in the trash and went inside my house.

Trying to grasp what had transpired, I turned to God and said, "What just happened?"

The Holy Spirit spoke to me, "I have kept you from the evil."

These young girls certainly brought evil to my porch. And I was very much provoked. But God delivered me from their evil in this unexpected and powerful way. 

Ezekiel 3:26  (God said to Ezekiel)  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.

When my husband retired at the end of 2008, we moved to Virginia, not far outside of Charlottesville.

When we were considering where to move after he retired, and which house to buy, I turned very strongly to God with these decisions. It was a very happy time for us as we were both excited about the move.

We finally got it narrowed down to two houses in Virginia, They were both very expensive but we had more than enough savings to easily buy either one.

I kept praying over and over and over … Please don’t let us make a mistake. Please don’t let us buy the wrong house.

It is so interesting to me how God steps in and helps us. He always has a way to guide us and direct us.

We had been intently looking at both houses with our realtor, trying to make a decision. And I’m still praying silently and fervently … please don’t let us make a mistake.

We were at the point where we needed to decide so we made one last visit to both houses. One of the houses had a pond adjacent to it which was appealing.

But as we walked around the yard, we noticed a lot, and I mean a lot, of little squiggly tube shaped things, that were found over much of the yard.

We asked the realtor what they were and she said …"Oh, that's goose poop."

Apparently the pond next to the house attracted a lot of birds.

The thing that had initially seemed so appealing was the thing that ended up turning us to the other house.

And even though we had been to that house numerous times and had never noticed the goose poop, God made sure we saw it on our final visit, keeping us from buying the wrong house and answering my prayer!

When I had developed a crack in one of my old fillings, the dentist I had been going to wanted me to get a crown. They were very much into doing crowns, even suggesting I have this done to replace all of my old fillings even before any problem arose.

 

I was uncomfortable with having this done but didn’t know what else to do. I kept praying, asking God what I should do. After a while I was given the thought to see if there was another dentist who could do something else, more mild. I also had a dream where my dentist was going to impact my tooth and it was scary. The dream made me even the more cautious of going to this dentist and having the crown done.

 

So I began looking for another dentist and asked God for help in finding the right one. At first I tried to find one close to where I lived but none were available. I branched out and found one in a nearby city. I thought I would have to try several, but to my amazement this dentist said he thought he could just refill the tooth.

 

He did refill and that filling has lasted a long time. I was very happy with him and the people in his office until just recently. There was a problem and I felt I needed to switch to another dentist. I believe God led me both times.

I just had a chance to listen to the podcast for 1/27/24 - I enjoyed hearing the classical music in that podcast. It was peaceful and pleasant. 

 

The first time I noticed classical music was in one of the neighborhood stores in our community in Seattle in the 1940s & 1950s.. I went into one store to buy something. I noticed the music playing was nice, calming, and different. It invited me to calm down or be quiet. I liked that atmosphere even as a child. 

 

The next experience of being introduced to classical music was in college. The instructor would tell us what a particular selection was about and encouraged us to listen carefully to how the music portrayed a scene or title. This encouraged me to want to listen carefully. 

 

The last experience was after I had graduated from college and had moved to Denver. My uncle had a grand piano at his home. It was really nice and I did not want to touch it and mess it up in any way. When he played it, the sound was wonderful. 

 

This uncle took me to concerts. The people were dressed nicely and were quiet in their actions. I enjoyed these concerts very much.

 

I shared all this to say that I enjoy classical music and that it was nice to listen to in this podcast. Also to know how this music helped Joan in this podcast.            

I Samuel 16

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

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

💥 Psalm 107

 

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for HE is good: for HIS mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom HE hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And HE led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For HE satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

12 Therefore HE brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saved them out of their distresses.

14 HE brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For HE hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE saveth them out of their distresses.

20 HE sent HIS word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare HIS works with rejoicing.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

24 These see the works of the LORD, and HIS wonders in the deep.

25 For HE commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and HE bringeth them out of their distresses.

29 HE maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so HE bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men!

32 Let them exalt HIM also in the congregation of the people, and praise HIM in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

36 And there HE maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

38 HE blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

40 HE poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

41 Yet setteth HE the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Podcast: End time wisdom from God

 

 

 

Jesus says:

Matthew 24:12-13  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

💥💥💥

(Comments by Joan Boney:)    So God has me surrounding myself with things that make me laugh.  Why go down with the iniquity of this world?  

Go forth spiritually, avoiding the evil and the insanity of man who has no idea Jesus is coming and this world will be destroyed by God.

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.

(Jesus will send HIS angels to gather the elect of God to take us to the new heaven and new earth before God destroys this present earth.  See: I Thess. 4:13-17 & Matthew. 24:29-31 & Rev. 21:1-5)

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.  (Revelation 21:1-5)

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.

Recently I spoke by phone with a woman who has heard exhortations I have given to the church since 1980.  She knows all the teachings I have about following God by HIS Spirit.  

As I spoke to her, I heard much bitterness come from her heart by her words against President Biden.  This will only destroy her.  It will do no good. This world will be destroyed by God according to Bible.

So I warned her.

💥💥💥

Some people fret over things that don't really matter.

God is in charge.  HE will destroy this present heaven and earth and will bring the great tribulation when HE is ready to do so.

You can't save USA from God.

The Bible says:  HE (God) raises up one and sets down another.  (Psalm 75:7)

Sometimes God even sets a man up for the purpose of destruction:

Pharaoh in the day of Moses was ordained by God to destruction.  (Romans 9:17-18  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew MY power in thee, and that MY name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath HE mercy on whom HE will have mercy, and whom HE will he hardeneth.)

💥💥💥

God shows me not to let myself be troubled.  

Avoid the evil.  Seek the righteousness of God, God's way to go on this earth in matters pertaining to me.

Surround myself with peace.

Fortunately I like classical music, not all, but composers like Mozart & Beethoven.

(They play lots of things on our local FM radio station that I don't like.  So it doesn't work well for me to depend on the radio station for classical music.  I record my own music which I can play and enjoy and have peace.)

We started our own classical music blog in September of 2023.  You will find this listed on the right side of the home page of our daily blog:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations.  (Daily at the end of our blog we play a classical music composition.)

Why classical music?  It is abstract sound.  Popular music lyrics often carry evil and remind us of past, even past sins, and can cause us to become depressed or lonely or fall into various sins through fleshly desires the lyrics rekindle within us.

Paul says;  

Philippians 3:13-15  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,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:

💥💥💥

I bought 2 USB/AM/FM radios.  They cost about $30.  (Amazon or Crutchfield:  USB Portable Players)

     

 

We put classical music on USB and plug it into these radios.  We copy the music I like.  I often turn this on and let it play while I read Bible.  I sometimes play this while I write exhortations to the church.  I play this music at night when I am going to sleep to mute the various household noises from electrical machines which disturb me.  

Eliminate disturbance from your mind when you can with both prayer and other ways.  I settle my problems by turning to God in prayer and allowing God to work with me.  But when it is noise from various things within my house, I pray.  God told me "to turn on my tablet and the classical music and use earphones and when I do this, I can't hear the motor noise!"  It worked of course because it was from God!

(It doesn't cost much to do these things and it really help me to live in peace!)

To me, Mozart is one of the most beautiful and calming and orderly of all composers.

💥💥💥

Another thing I believe God showed me to do:

Put things in my house that cause me to smile and even laugh.

My butler ceramic frog:

 

The closet in my bedroom:

Owl Mug:

 

 

Fresh flowers from yard in season:

💥💥💥

Avoid TV shows that trouble me!

Avoid people who disturb me!

Concerning Politics:  If you allow your toe to dip into that pond, corruption will likely follow.  I do not vote.  The Bible tells us to pray for "Kings" and for those in authority that we may live quietly and in peace.  

The World tells us to vote.

The Bible does not tell us to vote but tells us the following:

2 John 

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

(If we approve someone, wishing him well, and he does evil in private, we are partaker of his evil deeds.  I certainly am not going to wish politicians well ... and I don't loosely say to a person, "Have a good day,"  as most people tend to do, wishing people well.  I wish the followers of God well!) 

💥💥💥

And Paul exhorts us:

Philippians 4

4 Rejoice in the Lord (the Word) 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.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

We live in a beautiful area in USA, Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.  We can go for little drives into various areas of the mountains, leaving our house for 1-2 hours, just short drives.  We work long hours on our blog and podcasts exhorting the body of Christ daily!  It is usually pleasant to take a little break and look at the things God has created in the mountains and sky.

We take the dogs to the nearby animal park.  (I sit in car and usually read Bible.  Pam walks the 2 big dogs.)

Jesus says:  (During the Great Tribulation)

Matthew 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

But now, at this time before the great tribulation, let us live in peace, righteousness of God doing that which God approves/ that which is right in the sight of God, speaking things to edify one another and to cause us to consider God and HIS ways.

Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

CHURCH GATHERING 

IN COLORADO SPRINGS:  July 22-26, 2024

We would love to have you join us!

We are going to try to conduct these meetings as Paul said to do when we gather as the church:

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