• How God got me out of Debt!
    Dec 8 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 25, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... It is a hard bondage to be in debt. The first thing I remember God telling me after I was born again in 1975 is this: "Get out of debt and stay out of debt." Then the Holy Spirit of God guided me step by step and I followed HIM and ended up out of debt. I have stayed free from debt since approximately 1976. When Coronavirus struck the world, I'm sure those of us who were free from debt had less suffering than those who had debts. God says: 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. God promises that it will be shown to us if we want to know how to get out of debt if we will ask God! And we read: Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: *** Deuteronomy 28 12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: *** Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes to you
    Dec 7 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 21, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The Holy Spirit of God, given to the children of God today, searches the heart of God to reveal to us the will of God in the specific areas of our life, so we can know what God wants us to do in situations of this present life. (I Corinthians 2:9-14) Jesus describes the Holy Spirit as being the Spirit of Truth and The Comforter. John 14:26 Jesus says ... 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 Jesus says ... 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. The Holy Spirit lives in the believer.(I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19; II Corinthians 13:5) The Holy Spirit never makes us do anything, such as roll on the floor as the "Holy Roller" churches did in the early 1900's. This was another spirit, not the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit brings ideas and scriptures to our mind to show us truth in the situation and also to show us the will of God as we deal with issues of this life. The Holy Spirit is a great benefit to us and a great gift to us from God. But some in the churches today do not understand these things about the Holy Spirit so they miss many of the blessings of God available to us, the believer in Christ, The Word. And some believers pray but then fail to understand how they can know which idea that comes to them after prayer is from God. James 3:17 tells us how to recognize that idea which is sent from God. 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. The power of God is given to us through the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in us today. ***** Jesus said: John 5:30 Jesus says ... I can of MINE own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and MY judgment is just; because I seek not MINE own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent ME. Jesus always heard from God the Father so HE knew that which God wanted HIM to do as HE walked on this earth. *** The Holy Spirit lives in each person who believes in Jesus. I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? *** The Holy Spirit of God searches the heart of God to show us the will of God by bringing ideas and scriptures to our mind. I Corinthians 2:9-13 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 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. *** A human cannot understand the things of God by his own natural mind. I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. *** The Holy Spirit does 4 things for the believer: He teaches us all things; He reminds us of scripture and godly concepts; He guides us into all truth; He shows us things to come. John 14:26 Jesus says ... 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 Jesus says ... 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. *** We can recognize the ideas that are from God by the following: 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. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Who are the "saints" of God according to the Bible?
    Dec 6 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on November 13, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In the Holy Bible, all the church, the elect of God, those who are born again, are called "the saints." A few of the many scriptures in Bible showing this are as follows: Romans 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 8:27 And HE that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because HE maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints (the church). I Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. II Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward HIS name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Jude v. 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (the church). The "saints" are the entire church of Jesus Christ. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • When an angel speaks a message other than God's
    Dec 5 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on February 25, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The apostle Paul said: Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. There is only one gospel, and that is the Word that is from God, the Holy Scriptures. Angels carry messages from God. What if a message comes to you which is opposite from the Bible? Many years ago, a woman told me that when she met her 2nd husband, she heard this, "He's going to be your husband." She, a divorced woman, did marry this man. I wondered about that for several years. How could this message have been from God when it went against that which we see in the Bible. If a divorced woman remarries, according to Bible, she commits 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. Recently the scripture in Galatian 1, spoken by the apostle Paul, was called to my mind and I recalled this story where my divorced friend had heard Hal was going to be her husband. And I realized this could have been an evil angel speaking to her a "gospel" which was opposite to the Bible. There are evil angels. (Psalm 78:49) The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, so the Holy Spirit will always be compatible with scripture when HE speaks a word to us by bringing a concept to our mind. But an angel might bring a message to us also, and that message is usually from God, but if it conflicts with scripture we must not go that way. It could be an "evil angel" speaking. Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ***** Looking back on this story of my friend and what happened to her, there were signs for her not to marry the first husband. And then after divorce, she practiced deception and hypocrisy at the next church which she attended and this could have opened the door for the evil angel to bring her a message. She was raised Baptist. She wanted to marry a Catholic man. She went to Catholic school to convert to being Catholic so she could marry this Catholic boy. Catholic doctrine has many teachings opposite to Bible. Her stepfather, a Baptist, refused to allow her to come back into his house if she married this man and became Catholic. They married. Then her husband left her. They divorced. She left Catholic church and went to a non-denominational church. Later when she wanted to remarry, she didn't tell anyone at that church that she was a divorced woman. (deception & hypocrisy) (When Donna practiced deception by not allowing anyone at that church to know she was divorced, this might have opened the door for the deception to come by what appears to have been an "evil angel" telling her Hal was going to be her husband.) Hal's wife died of cancer. He wanted to remarry. He began to consider the single women at the church he attended. He selected 2 women to date, looking for a wife. One of these women was Donna but he did not know she had been divorced. Hal fell in love with Donna. Then she told him she had been married and divorced. Jesus says ... whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. They married. (This happened before I met them.) Later I asked Hal if he had known Donna was divorced would he had dated her. He thought for a minute and then he said, "I don't think so." Hal committed adultery when he married the divorced woman. (Matthew 5:32) Donna as a divorced woman committed adultery when she married Hal. (I Corinthians 7:39; Romans 7:1-3) *** One of the things we will do in heaven is to judge angels, whether they are good or bad. A good angel carries messages from God and does the work of God.An evil angel speaks opposite from the Bible. Psalm 78:49 He (God) cast upon them the fierceness of HIS anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. I Corinthians 1:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? II Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And Paul warns the church: Galatians 1 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from HIM that called you into the grace...

  • Following The Lord. Following Jesus. Following "THE WORD".
    Dec 4 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 19, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Each time I see a scripture which speaks of following "The Lord" or "Jesus", my mind automatically translates that into "THE WORD", following the instruction given by THE WORD. When we do that, it makes the Bible so clear! For example: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I (The WORD) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME (The WORD). So this verse is saying two things to me: * "THE WORD is the way to go." So I ask myself, "What has God said about this?" And I think on the most recent word brought to my mind by God concerning the subject at hand. I think on the scriptures, THE WORD. And I follow that word, making my plans accordingly. * "No man comes to the Father except by THE WORD." A man cannot go to THE FATHER by Buddha or by Mohammed. Only by THE WORD (Jesus) can a man go to God. So they cannot deceive me when they worship by another god. And people who come to me saying they are Christians cannot deceive me, for unless they are living THE WORD, those persons cannot be of God, for THE WORD is the way to God, The Father. Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus says: Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. They come saying they are Christians and because they say Jesus is Lord, they deceive many, for they have not the Spirit but are religious by their own thinking. Scripture becomes clear when you think of "The Lord" as "The Word." Psalm 23 The LORD (The Word) is my shepherd; I shall not want. (As I follow "The Word", I shall not want. If I follow other men, I might come into want even when I read the Bible. But as I hear The Word who is my Lord and do The Word, I shall not want.) 2 HE (The Word) maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE (The Word) leadeth me beside the still waters. So if it is hard or turbulent, I'm likely not following the plan of God, The Word. There is plenty of food, both spiritual food and physical food when I am in the place God would lead me, "green pastures". 3 HE (The Word) restoreth my soul: HE (The Word) leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake. ***** John 6 Jesus says: 33 For the bread of God is HE (The Word) which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 35 ... I (The Word) am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME (The Word) shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME (The Word) shall never thirst. 44 No man can come to ME, except the Father which hath sent ME draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 48 I am that bread of life. (The Word is that bread of life.) 50 This (The Word) is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I (The Word) 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. (We eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood each time we conform our lives to the Word of God as we walk on this earth.) 53 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. 54 Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 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. 57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME (The Word), even he shall live by ME. *** (The Word raises us up at the last day, for the Lord, The Word, comes with a shout, and the dead in Christ are awakened and rise to meet Jesus in the air.) I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. *** John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made....

  • HE hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephesians 1:6)
    Dec 3 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 15, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Remember when you were born again? All of a sudden, God by HIS Spirit opened our eyes to see our sin and we believed and were saved by faith in HIM. We didn't do works to earn salvation. It was a gift to us. After that, we read the Bible and believed the Word and were changed into the image of Jesus, The Word, as we believed. II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Being born again is all about change. The old man is passed away. All things become new. We are different now! And the remainder of our life on this earth we are conformed to the image of Christ the Word as we encounter issues of this life and settle those issues by learning what God wants us to do about each thing that comes to us. The apostle Paul says: Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Now we, too, are servants of God as is the apostle Paul. And we seek to please God in our decisions by prayer, asking God what HE wants us to do, and by following that brought to our minds by God's Spirit, The Holy Spirit. Our life becomes hidden to this world but we become alive to God and our lives are hidden in Christ as we follow the Word of God, conforming ourselves to HIS Word. And we know this is all that matters. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Ministers of Satan spoken of by Jesus, Paul, Peter, and Jude in the Bible
    Dec 2 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 7, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Jesus warned us about the last days when false ministers and false Christians would come in HIS name deceiving many: Matthew 24 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. (Ministers and individuals in churches will come saying "Jesus is Lord" and because they say that, many will accept them and they will deceive "many".) Paul calls them "angels of light": II Corinthians 11 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. The apostle Peter says: 2 Peter 2 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 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. ***** Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (They deny Jesus as they explain away "The Word" who is Jesus.) 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, ...

  • Many love the outward appearance of religion, but they do not have a love for the Word of God
    Dec 1 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 14, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... This is the first time I recall having the Spirit of God "dictate" to me the title of a writing or Podcast. Yet this was spoken in exact words to me as I wrote down the title. Then I received the message by the Spirit of God. It is amazing, but so many hundreds of thousands of people love their church buildings and they love the stained glass windows in their buildings and they love the art works and carved alters where their ministers preach ... but they do not have a love for the actual Word of God. We, who are of God, delight in the Word of God. The apostle Paul told us: 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. *** The only thing that matters in our religion is this: Do we delight in the Word of God? 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
