Going forward into the end times

Building your house on the word from God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The apostle Peter tells us to be diligent to keep ourselves in peace, without spot, and blameless. (2 Peter 3:14) Trouble will happen. We will be misunderstood (often while trying to help another person). Devils are rampant in the end time because they know their time is short. (Rev. 12:12) 💥💥💥 Comments by Joan Boney: When I "brush" against this world or religious people, I often pray the following over myself. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. I know words from people of this world or religious spirits in people often say things that are not compatible with that which God has said to me and I don't want any of those words to stick to my heart and cause me to depart from what God has told me. So I call on God for cleansing of my heart and spirit by praying for God's help by praying the above scripture. 💥💥💥 In 1975, after I was born again, God told me to "Get out of debt and stay out of debt." (With God's help, I did that.) Being in debt is a very hard yoke and a way of this world, and is not a way of God. Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Deuteronomy 28 1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments ... that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as HE hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in HIS ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 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 ... to observe and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 💥💥💥 From the time I got out of debt in 1975, I never went back into debt and continue debt free at this time. I paid cash for houses, cars, and all things. If I did not have the money to pay for a house, I just continued living in an apartment which I could pay for. This was unwise to the thinking of this world, but I did what God told me to do. "Stay out of debt." (God made ways for me to pay cash to build 4 houses between 1985 and 2002.) God also made ways for me to be able to pay cash for each car I purchased between 1985 and 2023. My dad gave me my cars while he was living. He died in 1978. Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD (against the Word). 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. So as God said to me: "Get out of debt and stay out of debt." This is the way I live. This causes me to be the head and not the tail. This allows me to "bless" the workers who come to the house to do repairs. This allows me to "bless" our church people also as I am led by God.
💥💥💥 I believe things are coming which will cause us to need to dig deeper into our cave (into our house). The Covid period of 2020 is similar to what I think we will need to do.
I believe God has shown me to place in my house things that are joyful to me, think that make me smile, things that make me laugh. (I think God continually that I have this opportunity to live in the home of another person of real faith in God.) Ecclesiastes 4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. I insist on paying Pam Padgett $1000 a month for my bedroom/office expenses. She didn't want to take any money but I insisted. She can use the money for upkeep of the property and I don't own any property, having no upkeep at age 86. This gives both of us more money. Neither of us have any debt. Pam's house is fully paid. The car is fully paid. Each of us have a goal of living godly lives in Christ Jesus, living out our lives on this earth as pleases God. Finding God's will in the various issues and doing what God shows us to so. (I'm 86. Pam is 68. Pam is a retired computer programmer from Fed Ex and does all the technical work for blog, books with Amazon, and Podcasts.) We are the same Spirit in God. So if we do disagree, we both pray for God to bring us to agreement and God does that. Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
