Building your house on the word from God

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Some people keep trying to forgive a rebellious person when what they really need is to avoid that person, especially if that other person identifies himself as a Christian while he disobeys God by rejecting scripture.

10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

God teaches HIS people by HIS Spirit.  If a person says he is a Christian but he is "ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth", that person is not being taught by God.

You can't help that person.

All we can do is warn him once or twice, and then leave him alone, don't try to keep teaching him, for if you keep doing this, he will eat you alive by his disobedience.

I once said to my mother:  "You can go down.  But I won't go with you."

My mother then straightened up and began agreeing with scripture and stopped doing that which had been against scripture and she was born again.

We must not continue teaching them when they have rejected the scriptures.

Antichrist comes speaking of the works he is doing ... But I show them the works God has done through giving me HIS instructions.

When I examine them, they can't tell me "how" God told them to do the work they are doing.  God didn't tell them to do that work.  It is a work out of their own fleshly imagination.  People are rampant in doing works for God, works dreamed up by their own fleshly minds.

Jesus says:   

Matthew 7

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

This podcast presents examples of such.

Jesus says:   Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.  Luke 21:36

Before Jesus returns, the powers of heaven will be shaken.  There will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars.

Luke 21

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;

To be ready for this, the apostle Peter tells us the following:

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

Here are the ways we can live in peace continually, daily.

What scripture are you following right now?  

It is your path to safety as you wait for the return of Jesus, before God sends the great tribulation upon this present earth.

I was born again in 1975, and one of the first things God showed me to do is to get out of debt and to stay out of debt.  This has been critical in keeping me from purchasing wrong things and keeping me from being involved in wrong works.  I only buy that which I can pay for immediately.

"using the world but not abusing the world" ... as some people do.  (I Cor. 7:31)

Also, one thing we must do, between now and the return of Jesus, is to be in peace constantly for the apostle Peter said to be diligent that when Jesus returns HE would find us in peace, without spot, and blameless.  (II Peter 3:14)

We can only live in peace if we take each troubling issue to God in prayer and allow God to settle us by HIS Spirit.

Philippians 4

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Do you consider little details of the Bible to be unimportant?  Sometimes by knowing these things we see which preachers are antichrist so we can avoid them and save ourselves from such.  This is really critical to us!  

Also we can often identify counterfeit Christians when that person says they are Christian but they don't care what Bible says and they consider it really doesn't matter.

I was engaged to a man who said he was a Christian but he showed he didn't think details in Bible mattered.  I was saved from what would have been a very bad marriage with a false Christian.  It ended up he got some of his Bible training from movie director Cecil B. DE Milles' movies, and the information was false, and Howard didn't care that it was contrary to Bible.  A marriage to him would have been disastrous for me.

When God brings a scripture or a concept to our mind, and we follow that instruction, then our "righteousness" is of God for God is the author of our plan.

We can follow "that" direction with assurance and cling to that concept and know it will come to pass in our lives.  Also our faith is in God when that is the situation.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

When a person comes speaking of being a Christian and then begins to tell you he is Baptist or Catholic or Church of Christ, that person causes immediate division in the body of Christ.

I avoid such persons.

Paul said:  I Corinthians 3 ... 

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

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

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism ... Eph. 4

We should simply identify ourselves as Christians if we do anything.  For to identify ourselves as a denomination brings division in the body of Christ.

Titus 3:9

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Pastors and church goers are often terrified of real prophets.  Man cannot control what a real prophet says.  That prophet who is trained by God as a prophet will speak what God says.

And God sends prophets TO THE CHURCH.

Make no mistake, there are prophets in today's church.

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

Examples:

Paul warned the men, even if you have sex with a prostitute, two become one flesh. (I Cor. 6:15-18)

It seems when birth control pills were made available, Bible morals began to disintegrate even more.  Fornication became rampant, even in churches.  Yet in the Bible we read fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God.  (I Cor. 6:9)

As we grower nearer to the return of Jesus, sin increases.  

Jesus says: 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.  (Mt. 24:12-13)

We will not be saved if we live by the way of this world and turn from scripture.
