• Try the spirit to see if the thought brought by that spirit is from God
    Nov 15 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... I John 4 (John says) 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. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Only the righteous will be taken into heaven
    Nov 10 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Matthew 24 (Jesus says) 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away. 💥💥💥 2 Peter 3 (Peter says) 13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 💥💥💥 I Corinthians 6 (Paul says) 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 (those who speak vile words toward others), nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 💥💥💥 Galatians 5 (Paul says) 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. consumed: completely destroyed; used up; absorbed of the attention and energy of someone. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 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. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: 💥💥💥 2 Peter 3 (Peter says) 10 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. 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. 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. 💥💥💥 Revelation 22 (Jesus says) 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • The end of the world: The sun and moon stop shining, the stars fall from heaven... Jesus says, "Be ready"
    Nov 9 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... A woman in our church group had the following dream: She and her husband were going out to buy a new TV. She was "ready" and was waiting for her husband at their car. (He was not ready.) All of a sudden, the sun turned completely dark! She said it was terrifying even though she knew Bible and knew what that meant. (Jesus would return through the sky soon to gather the elect of God to take the elect to the New Heaven and New earth which God has created for us. (Rev. 21:1-5) ) She started to run back into their house but then she knew that would do no good so she just fell down on her knees calling on the name of Jesus. 💥💥💥 Matthew 24 (Jesus says) 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. *** Acts 2 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:15 For these (men) are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of MY Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of MY Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 💥💥💥 The apostle Peter tells us in the Bible how we are to live as we wait for the return of Jesus: 2 Peter 3:10-14 (Peter says) 10 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. 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. 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. 💥💥💥 💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • What the Bible says will happen at the end of this world
    Nov 8 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Matthew 24 (Jesus says:) 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 💥💥💥 When it goes totally dark in the middle of the day everyone on the whole earth will be terrified! and will know something is happening. * The sun stops giving light and goes completely dark. * The moon gives no light. * The stars fall from heaven. Total darkness results. And what of day 2? will the sun shine? or will darkness continue? 💥💥💥 How could this happen? The powers of heaven have been shaken! 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • The Days of Vengeance
    Oct 19 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Jesus says: Luke 21:20-22 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. In other words: This is the trumpet of the beginning of the end of this world as we have known it. 💥💥💥 "that all things which are written in the Holy Bible may be fulfilled." Isaiah the prophet spoke the following which we read in the Holy Bible. It will be fulfilled during this time. Isaiah 13:13 God says: Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger. In the l980's God gave me a dream ... The earth slipped on it's axis. People were terrified. The governments of men were meeting with the scientists and with religious leaders to see what might be done to correct this problem. A newscaster was trying to report this on TV but as he spoke he became so terrified that he just walked out of the studio, leaving the camera. The consequences of what would happen by the earth moving in the solar system would be enormous all over this earth. Jesus tells us this will happen after the tribulation of those days. Matthew 24:21-22 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 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. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The elect will be changed into their new heavenly bodies. (I Cor. 15:47-52) And will then be removed from the earth and taken to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth only righteousness. (Revelation 21:1-5) God changes everything. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • The Bible is full of treasures showing the way of life for us
    Oct 3 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In two verses in John, Jesus explains the working of the Holy Spirit. 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. 4 things the Holy Spirit who lives in us does for us: - teaches us all things - reminds us of all that Jesus has said to us - guides us into all truth - shows us things to come Matthew 11:28-30 (Jesus says) Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • The end of this world as we have known it came October 1, 2024
    Oct 2 2024
    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Acts 1 7 And HE (Jesus) said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in HIS own power. We may not know the exact time Jesus will return, but when we see Israel surrounded by armies and attacked, I believe a trumpet sounds for those of us who belong to God and know Bible. (When the leaves fall, we know winter comes next and it is only a matter of time before snow falls. I believe everything changed as of October 1, 2024, when Iran fired missiles on Israel. From this point on it will be expansion... one thing after another.) 💥💥💥 A look back 2000 years: Just before Jesus ascended into heaven ... Jesus said: Acts 7 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 9 And when HE had spoken these things, while they beheld, HE was taken up; and a cloud received HIM out of their sight. And since that time that Jesus was taken up into heaven, we (the church) have been waiting for the return of Jesus, the great tribulation, the end of this present heaven and earth. The heavens and earth will pass by fire. God has created new heavens and new earth for the righteous. And only the righteous will be in that new heaven and new earth. There will be no more bodies of human flesh. Then there will only be righteous spirits. (I Cor. 15) Acts 1 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as HE went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. (Where the wait for the return of Jesus began.) 2 Peter 3 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. While we view this time between the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as 2000+ years ... in God's sight it has only been 2 days! Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 💥💥💥 What's next? The great tribulation where God judges this earth with HIS 14 plagues ... that could take a few decades ... expect one plague after another ... and then this heaven and earth soars with fire and a loud noise vanishes ... Jesus returns and gathers HIS church and we are changed into our new spiritual bodies and are taken to the new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem wherein there are only the righteous! Matthew 24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 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. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to...

  • Though our outward man perishes, the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)
    Oct 1 2024
    Re-published from March 28, 2024 Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... If you are born again, hopefully you have learned to focus on something other than your physical body as the world does. I go to physician assistant once a year in order to get a prescription for Ambien sleep aid. Other than that, I will go in if I really need help with something and can't take care of it with standard over the counter medicine in a reasonable time. I'm 86, and most of the time, I don't have to go to medical office except once a year. But I have learned to pay very little attention to my human body. Usually it gets well by itself after 2 or three days. I think God created it that way. I don't do "preventive medicine", because I don't want to do it. I don't believe in it. I have the right to choose. So I choose. But being a real Christian, I'm really not afraid to die. Recently I was so depressed by something a church woman did, I asked God to let me die. But God didn't and HE caused things to help me recover. Remember how Elijah asked to die when Jezebel was after him? But God had an angel cook him a meal out in the wilderness and after Elijah ate, things looked better to him, and he kept doing the work of a prophet of God. The outward man usually perishes. I really don't consider this to be a big deal as some church people do. So what? Life doesn't end just because we die! There is an appointed time of 70 years life in Bible, but some live longer. Many are already well past that 70 year time and they try to hang on as if they were 20. I consider this foolish and I choose not to do this nor do I choose to put myself into the medical system thinking to extend life. I only want to live as long as I can exhort the church. I've asked God to let me die the day I can no longer exhort the church. (I'm 86.) My PA thought I might be having heart attacks and she offered to administer an EKG to find out. I thought about her offer, and then said, "I don't think so." (I don't want to be caught up in this.) If I die, I die. I learned to take aspirin when the pain struck and in a few days it stopped.) I've met people who can't do anything much but think about their bodies. That is a trap I really do not plan to participate in. (Of course if the pain got bad enough, I might ask for some pills until I could die. So far, that hasn't happened. But I'm not trying to live on this earth. You have to know what your goal is.) 💥 My goal is to make provision at my house where I can read more Bible. I'm totally uninterested in going for a walk or things like that. And I eat what I want to eat. I don't mind looking like the homeless woman who can't walk. Sometimes if we do go out in the car, I put make up base over the brown blemishes that have appeared of late on my face. Sometimes I even put on light lip-stick. Why not? But I don't focus on fixing my flesh. I just cover up a little! 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
