Building your house on the word from God

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

***

Jesus says:

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.

Jesus is The Word.

The Word comes to our mind by the Holy Spirit to show us what to do in each issue of this present life so we can go in the will of God in the matter at hand.

Fear strikes.  We cry out to God for help.  God uses the Holy Spirit who is in us to bring to our mind scriptures or concepts to fight that fear and to give us faith in God.  And also God uses the Holy Spirit to show us what to do to handle the situation where there is fear.

Therefore in all things we have the mighty Spirit of God to guide us in each issue of this present life.

16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 

(Their actions and responses are inappropriate to the situation.) 

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. 

But wisdom is justified of her children.

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

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.

God sends thoughts to us by the Holy Spirit to show us what to do ... thoughts also comes from our own fleshly desires and from devils.  Therefore we must determine the spirit that the thought comes from before we follow that spirit.

I John 4:1   Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

Don't be afraid.  God can make it clear to us when we belong to HIM.

It seems to me that so often when we are trying to rush to get an answer, the wrong spirit jumps in to help us.

We have to learn to trust God, and to relax, and to know that God can and will help us.  And then wait until the answer comes and even, if needed confirm the source of that answer through prayer.

I had been speaking about antichrist come through individuals in churches and I was making a recording, and the thought came, "You're wrong. Antichrist doesn't come through humans."

God reminded me of following scripture:

I John 2

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

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

***

The Bible shows us antichrist coming through people in the church even in the days of the apostle John.

The object of antichrist is to cause us to depart from the Word of God and to set up doctrine contrary to the Word of God.  

The object of the devil is to destroy the people of God, if we allow ourselves to be destroyed, following destructive thoughts of devils and our own flesh.

Therefore the apostle Paul instructs:

II Corinthians 10

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

5 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.

(Making every thought obedient to Christ, THE WORD.)

As long as we live on this earth, we must deal with every thought to make that which "we think" conform to the Word of God, casting all thoughts contrary to the scriptures from us, establishing the truth and what we believe by the scriptures by the Holy Spirit of God.

Before the great tribulation and the coming of Jesus, the following two things had to happen.  They have both already happened!

*  The apostasy in the churches.

II Thessalonians 2

KJV   

3 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 had to fall away from scripture and set up other doctrines.)

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.

NASB

3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

This falling away, apostasy, has already happen in the churches qnd continues to happen and will happen until Jesus returns and the great tribulation of God comes upon this earth.

***

* The second thing that had to happen, and has already happened, is as follows:

Matthew 24   Jesus says:

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

The wrath of God, the great tribulation, is coming upon this world because of the increase of evil in this present world.  The evil we see today is a sign showing us the closeness of the coming of Jesus and the wrath of God that will come at the end of this present world. 

No man knows exactly when the great tribulation will come or when Jesus will return to gather the elect from off this present earth, but we have signs.

When we see the leaves appear on the trees don't we know spring is upon us?

Jesus explains to us in Luke 21, that it will be the same today.

As the wickedness increases around us and men approve wickedness, this signals the pending wrath of God that will come upon this world.

One of the signs is increase of homosexuals, as it was in the day of Sodom before God destroyed Sodom.  (Genesis 19)

What God says in Bible about 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:  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.

So we know this is one of the sins which brings the wrath of God in the destruction at the end of this present world.  As we see the increase of this sins, we can know the wrath of God is not far away.

Genesis 6:12-13 ...   And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

But God looked on Noah and had respect toward Noah and saved Noah and his wife and his sons and his sons' wives and many animals.

Violence is often cloaked under the guise of "good".  But God sees the truth.

Today we see great violence in the heart of humans as policemen wrongly kill other men, and as protesters fail to allow God to judge the evil actions of men, and as men with violence in their hearts take to the streets in various cities and some loot businesses and do many additional evils.

It turns out that all are evil for even the ones who think they are doing good by protesting, fail to trust God ...

Romans 12:18-19 ... If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Therefore the police who kill wrongly show they are "antichrist"... and the protesters who go forth with wrath show they are "antichrist" as they fail to follow scripture.  

These happenings warn us today that we are racing toward the great tribulation which God will bring at the end, on all people on this earth who do wickedness.

Ezekiel 7:19   They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

***

Luke 21   The powers of the heavens will be shaken ... before Jesus returns ...

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

(Hasn't Coronavirus helped us to see how it will be possible for such things to happen to the whole earth and lives to change on this earth?)

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Pam Padgett, put her car up for sale.  Her friend was interested in buying Pam's car.  The friend borrowed the car and took it to her mechanic to examine the car.  That seemed so strange to me for she knows Pam well and should know Pam would conceal nothing from her concerning the car.  Further she knew Pam took good care of the car through the years and the car was priced at a low price for the quality of the car, $6,500.  A new car of the same model and equipment would cost $55,000.

The people who bought my house in Texas wanted a sure thing so they hired a man to inspect the house.  They seemed to need a guarantee from another human.  The inspector found a few very minor things wrong at the house.  (He was being paid to find things wrong, so of course he had to find things wrong to justify the amount he was being paid by the buyers.) The buyers could have fixed these things themselves but they wanted me to fix them. 

So I just added $7,000 to the price of the house to allow me to fix these things.  I didn't know how much it would cost, so I had to guess at the cost, and I raised the price of the house to cover the cost.

It ended up costing less than $3,000 to fix the items.  The buyers could have saved $4,000 by just fixing these things themselves.

Being wise in your own eyes can cost you money.  But this is the way people of this world live.

Also the people who bought my house wanted a "warranty" which cost $600.  I added this to the cost of the house and these people ended up paying for that warranty themselves.

Recently I had some sound materials added to a car.  They tried to charge me $700 for insurance on the speakers.  I told them I did not want that insurance.  The way I live is this:  If I can afford to replace the item. I don't buy insurance.  If I cannot afford to replace the item, then I will consider insurance, such as on a house or medical supplement.  I had difficulty in getting the store manager to remove the insurance from the cost of the project.  But I insisted and he removed the insurance.

We had exactly the same problem when we purchased the car.  They wanted to add an extended warranty.  We insisted that they remove this.  They really fought us.  But we did get it removed.  The dealer must make a great deal by getting people to buy these "warranties".

Pam's neighbor, Jim, a retired Marine, bought warranty on his house but he could never get them to fix anything.  When it broke, they just said, "The warranty does not cover that."

I manage to have money left over after purchasing something and I keep that money in my savings and pay for the item, if something goes wrong.  I find it is less expensive for me to do it that way.

But I find the people of this world usually want this world to protect them.  And often it ends up costing them more than it would have cost if they had just saved money to replace that item after the lifetime of the item.

Also when something goes wrong, the company issuing the "insurance" sometimes files bankruptcy if there are too many claims and they don't cover the warranty anyway.

It is better to trust in God than to put your trust in humans.

I like to be sure God is showing me to make "that" purchase.  That is my peace.  But this world has no peace in God.  Their peace is in their plans.  It is a very hard way of life.
