  • Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind

    Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
    Jan 22 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 11, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. This world speaks and approves one thing while God speaks exactly the opposite by HIS Word. By the New Testament Bible, we know that which God approves. Consider this: What does the Bible say? And when we think something, ask yourself: Where is that in the Bible? II Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. As a new Christian, my friend, also a new Christian, and I tried to find in the Bible where it says all men are created equal. We couldn't find that in the Bible. So we went to a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and asked, "Where is it in the Bible where it says all men are created equal?" He replied, "That's not in the Bible." We were very shocked! ***** Sayings of this world: "You'll never get out of this world alive." * I Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. *** "Nothing last forever." * Matthew 24:35 Jesus says: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away. *** Catholic pope said: " I see no problem with homosexuals." Bible says: Romans 1:26-28 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. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; *** I Corinthians 6:9-10 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. *** Pastor said, "I see no problem with a divorced woman remarrying. My sister is divorced and remarried." Bible says: 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. - Man who divorces a faithful wife, will be the cause of that faithful wife's adultery if she remarries. - Man who marries a divorced woman commits 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. Romans 7:3 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. *** Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. *** After I was born again, all these problems started. My best friend said, "Joanie, you shouldn't be having all these problems now that you are a Christian." II Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. II Peter 4:12-14 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when HIS glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part HE is evil spoken of, but on your part HE is glorified. *** After I was born again, I asked my friend, a Baptist, "What do we do now?" She replied, "Nothing." What the Bible says: Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, ...

  • Some of the instruments God uses to bring destruction to disobedient church people

    Some of the instruments God uses to bring destruction to disobedient church people
    Jan 21 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 6, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... For those people in church groups who love the form of godliness but do not love the actual Word of God, God prepares HIS instruments of destruction. God can use evil angels to lead those people in ways of destruction: Psalm 78:49 HE cast upon them the fierceness of HIS anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. These evil angels carry messages which seem to be from God but are not from God. Paul spoke of this in the following: Galatians 1:8-9 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. As we said before, so say I now again, If any preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. A divorced woman came to a non-denominational church group and pretended to be a regular single woman. She was looking for an husband. And she ignored scriptures concerning divorce and remarriage. 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? 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. 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 believe God shows me this woman (who is no longer living) brought destruction upon herself and the man who married her who committed adultery by marrying this divorced woman. Matthew 5:32 Jesus said: 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. We have an example in Bible of God using "a lying spirit" to destroy king Ahab. I Kings 22 20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And HE (God) said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. This lying spirit told king Ahab to go up and fight against the enemy and when he did this Ahab was killed in the battle. God brings "a strong delusion" upon people who will not love the truth. II Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. You cannot reason with a deluded person. No matter how much evidence you present, that deluded person will cling to his delusion. *** Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. *** James 1 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love HIM. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth HE any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Are you vexed by the filthy conversation of the wicked?

    Are you vexed by the filthy conversation of the wicked?
    Jan 20 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on February 27, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In the days before God destroyed Sodom, the sins were open and widespread in every part of the city. Abraham's nephew, Lot, was continually troubled by that which they said and that which they did in Sodom. Genesis 19 God sends 2 angels to destroy Sodom. 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 natural men.) 2 And he 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 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: 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. (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. (Lot knew that which the men of Sodom planned in their hearts to do was wicked.) II Peter 2 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: And why did Lot choose to live in Sodom where there was so much wickedness? Genesis 13 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. (The beauty of Sodom attracted Lot to Sodom. Beauty often attracts the flesh to itself and great evil often dwells in beauty.) 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. As Sodom was destroyed because of the wicked, this present world is going to be destroyed by God. (II Peter 3:10-14) Jesus said: 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. (Matthew 24:12-13) You may think you can lead them to God but they will lead you away from ways of God. God has HIS way to deliver you but you might be ignoring God's way thinking you can help the ungodly. You must rethink what you are doing if this is the case. For if you are in "Sodom" when it is destroyed, you will be destroyed with Sodom. ***** II Corinthians 6 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • No weapon formed against us will prosper, says God

    No weapon formed against us will prosper, says God
    Jan 19 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 9, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... As a new Christian, in 1975, I came across an astounding scripture with this promise from God to the church. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD. At that time I owned a small business. A man filed a lawsuit against me. This was certainly a weapon against me. Also my own lawyers were sending me bills for their work and, at the rate this was going, I would be back in debt before long. My lawyer bills were eating up all the profit from the sale of merchandise in my business. When I saw that scripture in Isaiah 54, I began to reason: I am now a Christian so this promise of God applies to me! This weapon cannot prosper against me. So I can dismiss my attorneys, since the lawsuit cannot prosper against me anyway, and I can stop all the legal bills, and I can go to court without any human legal counsel! I definitely proved the validity of the scripture at that time and I know it is true for us today and valid today! Then in 2019, God showed me something else about this scripture: This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD. As a servant of God, my righteousness is of God, because I am doing that which God told me to do in the situations pertaining to the present life, so that makes my righteousness to be of God! 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Meditating in the Word of God to enable us to believe and do the Word of God

    Meditating in the Word of God to enable us to believe and do the Word of God
    Jan 18 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 8, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The power to believe the Word of God and to do the Word of God is attached to meditating in the scriptures given to us by the Holy Spirit. Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Notice both of the above scriptures tells us: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Take that scripture which is brought to your attention by the Holy Spirit of God and keep it before you day and night until you are able to live that scripture, doing those things instructed by that scripture. Then take the next scripture that comes before you and do the same thing with that scripture. Live that word of God. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • We are blessed by God as HE reveals HIS truth to us

    We are blessed by God as HE reveals HIS truth to us
    Jan 17 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 3, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked HIS disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but MY Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church is built on that word delivered from God from heaven to us, the elect of God. ***** John 6 33 For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto HIM, 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. (Jesus, The Word, is the bread of life.) 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of (by) God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of (from) the Father, cometh unto ME. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on ME (The Word) hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. (The Word is the bread of life.) 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. 4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men. *** I John 2:27-28 But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM. 28 And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at HIS coming. *** Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of HIS glory, and the express image of HIS person, and upholding all things by the word of HIS power, when HE had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Following God by HIS Spirit

    Following God by HIS Spirit
    Jan 16 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 12, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. When God reveals HIMSELF to us, HE gives us HIS Spirit, The Holy Spirit, to live inside us. I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? I Corinthians 6:19 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? II Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? The work of the Holy Spirit who dwells in the children of God: 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, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. I Corinthians 2 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 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. This is the story of the working of the Holy Spirit of God in our lives as we live on this present earth, following God by HIS Spirit. ***** Jesus says: John 5:30 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 and did what God told HIM to do and said what God told HIM concerning those issues of this present life. We have the Holy Spirit of God in us so we, like Jesus, hear from God and do and say that which we have heard from God. ***** Examples on this Podcast: * Be baptized. * Tell your aunt about being taken into heaven. * Or you could just buy a new car. * Another storage building for your stuff? Why don't you just get rid of the stuff? * My God will supply all your need. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.

    The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
    Jan 15 2026
    (This podcast was previously published on March 5, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... God communicates directly with the elect of God, HIS children, and leads them and guides them by HIS Holy Spirit. 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 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. 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. Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Examples of following God by HIS Spirit: ***** Matthew 11 Jesus says: 28 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. *** James 3 14 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. 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. *** Psalm 23 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 HE restoreth my soul: HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
