Building your house on the word from God episodes

  • The prophet in the New Testament church
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    The only difference between the prophet in the Old Testament and the prophet in the New Testament, is today prophets do not kill the wrongdoers with the sword as did the prophet Elijah.
     
    But the prophets today do deliver messages of correction, and they sometimes speak of that which is to come, and they even pronounce judgments upon ministers and individuals in the churches.
     
    Several examples are given in this Podcast of NT prophets.

    *****

    The apostle Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus:
     
    Acts 20:20;25-27
     
    I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
     
    And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
     
    Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
     
    ***
     
    God instructs the prophet Ezekiel:
     
    Ezekiel 3:4-11   And HE (God) said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them.
     
    (Prophets are sent to the church... not to the world.)
     
    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 (God) 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.
     
    Free from the blood of all men:
     
    Ezekiel 3:17-21   (God says)   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 stumbling-block 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.
     
    ***
     
    Acts 20:25-27  The apostle Paul said to the elders at Ephesis:   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.
     
    ***
     
    Divorce & remarriage:
     
    Matthew 5:32  Jesus says:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
     
    I Corinthians 7:10-11  The apostle Paul said:  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
     
    ***
     
    II 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.
     
    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.
     
    13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
     
    14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
     
    (Learning from the Holy Spirit of God)
     
    15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
     
    16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
     
    ***
     
    Hosea 12:13   And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
     
    ***
     
    After Jesus arose, HE gave ministries to the church:  apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher.
     
    Ephesians 4:8;11-14 When HE (Jesus) ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men... And HE (Jesus) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
     
    12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
     
    13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
     
    14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

  • Let the prophets speak
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
     
    The apostle Paul said the following instructions to the New Testament church:
     
    "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.  If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.  For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."  (I Cor. 14:29-33)
     
    Examples of NT prophets speaking today.

    *****
     
    Do we have prophets in the New Testament church today?
     
    Ephesians 4:8;11-14   ...When HE (Jesus) ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men ...
     
    11 And HE (Jesus) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
     
    12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
     
    13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
     
    14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
     
    ***
     
    Instruction to the New Testament church:
     
    I Corinthians 14:29-33  The apostle Paul says:  Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
     
    God does not "make" any prophet speak.
     
    ... "And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets." The prophet has the choice to speak or not to speak.
     
    ***
     
    Concerning the gathering of the NT church:
     
    I Corinthians 14:40  Let all things be done decently and in order.
     
    ***
     
    Women in church taking over with questions:
     
    I Corinthians 14:34-35  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.
     
    God said to me:  "Look at what these women were doing."
     
    They were asking questions.  This would be out of order.  I believe this is what Paul is speaking of when he commanded the women to keep silence in the churches and that it is a shame for women to speak this way in the church.
     
    Then God took me to Acts 21.  Philip the evangelist had 4 daughters who did prophesy.  Prophesy is for the church.  These daughters would have to speak in the church to prophesy. 
     
    Acts 21:8-9   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.
     
    To me this confirmed the women in I Corinthians 14 were out of order and asking questions to take over the gathering of the church.
     
    But prophesy would be permitted in the proper time in the gathering of the church.
     
    ***
     
    Hosea 12:13   And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
     
    Prophets help you to get out of traps and help you to stay out of traps.
     
    ***
     
    The religious people always killed the prophets:
     
    Jesus said:
     
    Matthew 23:29-38    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
     
    30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
     
    31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
     
    32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
     
    33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
     
    34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
     
    35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
     
    36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
     
    37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
     
    38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

    Poison Gas Dream: 1979
     
    In this dream, a man was speaking to a group of people.  I went into the assembly room and sat down to listen.  A second man rushed into the room and said:  "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun!"
     
    The people in the room didn't seem to pay any attention to this man but I wanted to know what had already begun.  I looked out the windows and was shocked to see a tall pole with a yellow civil defense warning speaker on top of the pole.  A white gas was coming out of the speaker.  I knew it was a poison gas and it would kill the people.  The gas was coming directly toward us in that room!
     
    I turned to the man who was sitting next to me.  He had a big smile on his face and he was looking attentively at the man who was speaking.  But then I realized this man was a corpse.  He was already dead.
     
    I looked at the other people in the room and they, too, were already dead.
     
    As I sat among them, I felt myself drifting off and I knew this gas from the speaker was killing me too.

    Message delivered to Jim Bakker on subject of adultery:
     
    Matthew 5:32 Jesus says:   But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
     
    I Corinthians 7:10-11 The apostle Paul said:  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
     
    Mark 10:2-12   And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus), and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM.

    3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
     
    4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
     
    5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
    6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
     
    7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
     
    8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
     
    9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
     
    10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.
     
    11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
     
    12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
     
     
    Romans 7:1-3   Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
    2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
     
    3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
     
     
    I Corinthians 7:39-40   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.

  • Following God by HIS Spirit
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    In this Podcast, I show exact ways the Holy Spirit leads us and how HE guides us into all truth, concerning the issue at hand, one step at a time.
     
    Also we learn to recognize the difference between fleshly ideas, ideas from devils, and ideas sent to us by God.
     
    We learn to know the characteristics of the Holy Spirit so we can follow God with confidence and be assured of God leading us in the way we are going.  This is an anchor for our souls when thoughts come to try to pull us off into another direction.

    *****
     
    Setting a foundation for understanding the working of the Holy Spirit:
     
    Each believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit:
     
    Ephesians 1:13   In WHOM ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in WHOM also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
     
    ***
     
    The work of the Holy Spirit in the believer:
     
    Jesus said:
     
    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. 
     
    ***
     
    The Holy Spirit never makes you do anything.  The Holy Spirit brings you information from God which allows you to know the will of God in the matter at hand.
     
    Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
     
    The Holy Spirit is a gentle voice Who brings thoughts from God to your mind, scriptures & concepts.
     
    The thoughts brought by the Holy Spirit are always compatible with the New Testament Bible.
     
    John 10:10   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
     
    ***
     
    Proverbs 16:25   There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
     
    ***
     
    James 1:5
     
    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all  liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
     
    ***
     
    How to recognize the ideas that are from God:
     
    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.
     
    But if you are in envy and strife:
     
    James 3:14-16   But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
     
    15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
     
    16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
     
    ***
     
    Your heart must be cleansed by God:
     
    Psalm 51:10   Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
     
    ***
     
    Ephesians 4:29   Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
     
    ***
     
    Matthew 6:33    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
     
    Follow that one verse of scripture which the Holy Spirit causes to stand out to you.  Do that scripture.  When you are reminded of another scripture, follow that scripture, then another, then another, one scripture at a time.
     
    This is like going down God's highway, and you will end up where God wants you to be, and amazingly, along the way, "things" are added to you without your focusing on getting things.
     
    But be sure you are actually "doing"  that scripture!  For if you hear the scripture or read the scripture and fail to do the scripture, you deceive yourself.
     
    Follow verses of scripture, one at a time ... rather than following after getting things!
     
    ... and all these things shall be added unto you.  (Matthew 6:33)

  • The Lord's supper: The Word of God.
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    * Jesus said: "I am the bread of life."  (John 6)
     
    * Jesus, The Word is, "The bread of life."
     
    * Jesus says:  This is the bread that comes down from heaven.  I am the living bread which came down from heaven.  He that eateth of this bread, shall live forever.  (John 6)
     
    * The Lord's supper:  Crackers & grape juice, or the Word of God?
     
    Scriptures
     
    John 6:30-35   They said therefore unto HIM (to Jesus), What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
     
    32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
     
    33 For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
    Then said they unto HIM (to Jesus), Lord, evermore give us this bread.
     
    35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.
     
    48-51     I am that bread of life.
     
    (Jesus, The Word, is that bread of life.)
     
    Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
     
    50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
     
    51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
     
    53-58   Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink HIS blood, ye have no life in you.
     
    Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.  For MY flesh is meat indeed, and MY blood is drink indeed.
     
    56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him.
     
    As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME, even he shall live by ME.
     
    (We live by Jesus, The Word.)
     
    58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
     
    ("This bread", the WORD.)
     
    63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
     
    66-68   From that time many of HIS disciples went back, and walked no more with HIM.
     
    Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
     
    Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
     
    ***
     
    I Thessalonians 5:21    Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
     
    Prove all things by the Bible.
     
    "Where is that in the Bible?"
     
    ***
     
    Example of things no longer taught in the churches that I have witnessed:
     
    Matthew 5:32  Jesus says:  ... whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
     
    (The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.)
     
    ***
     
    Example of eating and drinking the Lord's supper:
     
    Ephesians 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
     
    How do we avoid temptations:
     
    I Corinthians 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
     
    ***
     
    I Corinthians 11:23-32   The apostle Paul said: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which HE was betrayed took bread: And when HE had given thanks, HE brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is MY body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of ME.
     
    After the same manner also HE took the cup, when HE had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in MY blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of ME.
     
    For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till HE come.
    Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
     
    But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
     
    (As we read the Bible and consider the Word from God, we examine ourselves by that Word from God.)
     
    For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
     
    For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).
     
    For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
     
    (We judge ourselves by The Word of God.)
     
    But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
     
    (We are saved by The Word from God.)
     
    ***
     
    The Lord's supper is the eating and drinking of the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Bible and applying those scriptures in a proper way to our lives.
     
    For example:
     
    I Corinthians 6:15-20   Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
     
    16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.

    (Even if you have sex with a prostitute you become one flesh with that prostitute.)
     
    17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
     
    18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
     
    What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
     
    For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
     
    I Corinthians 7:2  to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
     
    The Word of God is the Lord's supper.  We have to eat and drink the scriptures correctly, otherwise we bring damnation to ourselves.  I Corinthians 11:29-30

  • The Holy Spirit never makes us do anything.
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, the comforter.  The Holy Spirit never makes us do anything.  The Holy Spirit does not take over our bodies in any way.
     
    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus and HE teaches us all things, reminds us of that which Jesus has said, guides us into all truth, and shows us things to come.  ( Jn. 14:26 & Jn. 16:13)

    *****
     
    I Thessalonians 5:19   Quench not the Spirit. 
     
    We quench the Spirit by keeping what he says back, and by failing to speak, but the Holy Spirit never forces us to speak.  
     
    ***
     
    Concerning the Holy Spirit:
     
    Jesus says:
     
    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.
     
    ***
     
    Angels can be very strong and forceful, but the Holy Spirit simply presents information to our mind.
     
    In Genesis 19, there is an example of angels as they took the hand of Lot and his wife and daughters and removed them from the city.
     
    Genesis 19:15-16   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 (Lot) lingered, the men (the 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.
     
    Angels are very strong and often take strong actions.
     
    But the Holy Spirit simply brings information from God to our minds.
     
    ***
     
    I Corinthians 14:40   Let all things be done decently and in order.
     
    ***
     
    I Corinthians 14:34-35     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.
     
    (In the next verse, look at what these women were doing ... they were asking questions.)
     
    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.
     
    God showed me a scripture about the 4 daughters of Philip the evangelist.  They did prophesy.  Prophesy is for the church.  They would have to be permitted in the church to speak in order to present prophesy.  I believe the women described by the apostle Paul, in I Corinthians 14, were interrupting the church gathering by asking questions to draw attention to themselves and to take over the gathering.
     
    Acts 21:8-9   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.
     
    ***
     
    Spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit:
     
    I Corinthians 12:4-11   Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
     
    5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
     
    6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 
     
    7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
     
    8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
     
    9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
     
    10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
     
    11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE (God) will.

  • The power of God to be a witness
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    The Holy Spirit who is in us rises up from time to time to witness and to bring God's truth to others.  When this happens, this is the power of God.  The Holy Spirit never makes us speak.  We learn to yield to that which the Holy Spirit brings to our mind when we are speaking.  We can quench the Holy Spirit by holding back.  Paul says, "Quench not the Spirit."  (I Thess. 5:19)
     
    But there are other spirits which we do not permit to speak through us, fleshly spirits and spirits of devils.  Knowing the difference between wrong spirits and the Spirit of God is critical for us.

    *****
     
    Holy Spirit had me read the following scripture to my mother who had enjoyed reading horoscopes all her life. After I read this scripture to my mother, she said, "Then I guess we'd better not do that anymore." She was born again when she agreed with that scripture.
     
    Which of us would have ever read that scripture to a person thinking they would be born again by that scripture.
     
    But the Holy Spirit knew!
     
    Deuteronomy 18:9-14  When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
     
    10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
     
    11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
     
    12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
     
    13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
     
    14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

    10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
     
    11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
     
    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
     
    13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

  • Homosexuals/lesbians: What the Bible says
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 
     
    For the New Testament church, the only thing that is important is that which is stated in the New Testament Bible.  Here are the statement in the New Testament as set forth by God concerning homosexuals and lesbians.
     
    *****

    Romans 1:26-27   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.
     
    ***
     
    Concerning those who say they were born homosexual or lesbian:
     
    Jesus says:
     
    Mark 10:6   from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
     
    ***
     
    Genesis 19:1 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 do not have wings.  Angels look like regular men.)
     
    2 And he (Lot) 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 (Lot) 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 part of Sodom to have sex with the men, who were actually angels, 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 ... 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 (the homosexuals) said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow (Lot) 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 (the 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 (Lot) lingered, the men (the 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 (the angel) 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:
     
    (The evil was in the cities where Lot wanted to stay.)
     
    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.
     
    (But when the fire and brimstone from God destroyed the cities and the plain, Lot was afraid and fled to the mountain for safety as the angel first told Lot to do.)
     
    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 anything 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 (Lot's) wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

    *** 

    Concerning looking back:
     
    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:
     
    ***
     
    Sodom:  Sodomites (homosexual)
     
    I Kings 14:24  And there were also sodomites (homosexuals) in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
     
    I Kings 15:12 And he took away the sodomites (homosexuals) out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
     
    I Kings 22:46   And the remnant of the sodomites (homosexuals), which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
     
    II Kings 23:7  And he brake down the houses of the sodomites (homosexuals), that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

    If you are born again, and return to your past sins:
     
    Hebrews 6:4-8  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
     
    5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
     
    6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put HIM to an open shame.
     
    7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
     
    8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
     
    ***
     
    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.
     
    ***
     
    I Corinthians 5:1-5   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.
     
    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.
     
    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 idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
     
    13 ... Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

  • Divorce/remarriage: What the Bible says
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
     
    The rules of God for the New Testament church are stated for us in the New Testament Bible.  There are rules set up by God for the church today, though many churches have eliminated portions of the Bible in their churches.
     
    2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
     
    💥💥💥
     
    Matthew 5:31-32   Jesus says:
     
    It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
     
    32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
     
    - The faithful wife who remarries after divorce commits adultery but her husband who divorced the faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery.
    - The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
     
    💥💥💥
     
    Mark 10:6-9   Jesus says:  from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
     
    7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 


    Mark 10:11-12  And HE (Jesus) saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
     
    12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
     
    💥💥💥

    I Corinthians 7:10-11 The apostle Paul says:  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

    💥💥💥 
     
    I Corinthians 7:39   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.
     
    💥💥💥

    Romans 7:1-3 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
     
    2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
     
    3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
     
    💥💥💥
     
    At the time of sexual intercourse, two become one flesh ... even if the man has sex with a prostitute: 

    I Corinthians 6:15-20    Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?  God forbid.
     
    16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE (God), shall be one flesh.
     
    17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
     
    18 Flee fornication.  Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
     
    19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
     
    20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 

    💥💥💥

    To avoid fornication: 

    I Corinthians 7:2   The apostle Paul says:  to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

    💥💥💥

    I Corinthians 6:9-11   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. 

    💥💥💥

    But if you return to your previous sins, after you are born again, there are serious consequences for you: 

    II Peter 2:20-22   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. 

    💥💥💥

    Hebrews 10:25-31   ... exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
     
    26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
     
    27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
     
    28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
     
    29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
     
    30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.
     
    31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

  • Seeking your wisdom from God. HE knows future.
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
     
    The people of the world go by what they think and by that which they can reason. 
     
    We who are of God have a far better way.  We can turn to God and ask HIM what HE wants us to do.  God has one great advantage over those humans that we can ask for counsel.  God knows the future!

    Proverbs 3:5-7   Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

    *** 

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

    *** 

    James 1:17   Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
     
    ***
     
    Isaiah 55:8-13   For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the Lord.  

    9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.  

    10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:  

    11 So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 

    12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
     
    13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

    The real Christians are those who will follow the scriptures, making the scriptures their way of life.
     
    Psalm 37:4    Delight thyself also in the Lord: and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
     
    ***
     
    Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

    Matthew 6:33    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

    Counterfeit Christians:  the antichrist comes into the church before Jesus returns
     
    Matthew 5:32 Jesus said to the men: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

    I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
     
    ***
     
    II Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 
     
    Churches fall away from scripture. 

    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.
     
    ***
     
    II Timothy 3:1-7   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.
     
    (This is in the church today where they go by doctrines of men and have a "form" of godliness.)

    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.

    II Timothy 3:13-17  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

    14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

    15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

    16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    17  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

  • Be doers of the WORD and not hearers only
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...
     
    Some Christians attend church faithfully, and hear the WORD over and over, and read the scriptures in the Bible many times, but they fail to do the WORD, failing to apply that instruction of the WORD to their own lives.
     
    Without knowing they are doing such, they become as "hereticks", spinning their wheels in the same problem for years (troubling you) as they fail to "overcome" through doing the scriptures.
     
    Jesus is returning for an "overcoming" church.  (Rev. 2 & 3)
     
    This podcast contains scriptures and examples of overcoming the problems of life today by the scripture and the other WORD from God, given through dreams and the Holy Spirit.

    *****
     
    Being as an heretic through failing to do the scripture.
     
    Philippians 4:6-7   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.

    ***

    Titus 3:10-11   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
     
    11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
     
    Some have attended church all their lives but will not do the scriptures when you share scriptures with them.  Thus they condemn themselves.  We must walk away from them after we have shared and they fail to apply those scriptures to their lives.

    *** 

    James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
     
    Remember this:  Those humans we ask don't know the future.  God does know the future!  And God knows everything about us, and exactly what we need at this point in time!  So ask God.  HE is able to communicate with us in a way we can understand.
     
    ***
     
    Jesus says:
     
    Matthew 24:4-5    Take heed that no man deceive you.
    5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
     
    They come saying, "Jesus is Lord", but they fail to do the specific scriptures.  And when you present scripture to them, they still do not do the scriptures.  Walk away from them.  Save yourselves.

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

    I Peter 5:7  Casting all your care upon HIM (on God); for HE careth for you.
     
    ***
     
    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, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
     
    ***
     
    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 Corinthians 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
     
    ***
     
    They deceive themselves into believing they are Christians and they deceive you if possible.
     
    II John vv. 7-11    For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not (by their actions) that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 
     
    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 (lives 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.
     
    ***
     
    Many attend church today but fail to apply the WORD of God to their lives as they live on this present earth.  They hear the WORD but fail to do the WORD.
     
    They must be considered as hereticks, though they attend church faithfully.  They do not abide in the doctrine of Christ and they trouble you needlessly and will pull you down with them.  After the first and second admonition, you must walk away from them.  They show, by their failure to do scripture, that they will not be turned.  You will not restore them to the Word but they will pull you down with them if you continue with them.
     
    A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.  (I Corinthians 5:6)

    ***

    I Corinthians 5:11-13   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 idolator, 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.

    ***

    Deuteronomy 18:9-14    When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
     
    10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
     
    11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
     
    12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
     
    13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
     
    14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
     
    (Put away horoscopes and such things of this world.  Make God your trust and your hope.  Seek God's way and pray for HIM to lead you second by second.)
