The antichrist people will not repent

11/24/2025
(This podcast was previously published on January 3, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... I was looking for a church to attend and at a service I visited pastor was speaking of the woman in John 8 who was brought before Jesus after she had been taken in adultery. Pastor said, "She was naked from the waist up." I was so shocked! I have read John 8 many times and had never seen that before. I grabbed my Bible even as pastor continued speaking and read John 8. What pastor said was not in John 8. The next morning, I called this pastor. I told him I had been in his congregation the previous day when he spoke about the woman who was taken in adultery being naked from her waist up when they brought her to Jesus. I told pastor I couldn't find that in the Bible and I asked pastor where that is in Bible. Pastor said, "I can't recall where that is in the Bible." I said, "It is very important for me to know where this is in the Bible, so would you please look it up and tell your secretary where it is in Bible and have her call me and tell me where it is?" Pastor grew very silent for a few moments. Then with great anger, pastor shouted at me over the phone, saying, "Alright. It's not in the Bible. Where do you go to church?" Though pastor admitted what he said was not in the Bible, pastor showed no shame at all. Pastor did not repent. How could this be? I wondered. Later I realized, "Antichrist people do not repent." Even in the great tribulation, they did not repent. The plagues came upon them and they cursed God, but they did not repent of their own works. Revelation 9 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 20-21 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Those people in churches who fall away from scripture and go by another doctrine are antichrist, opposite to Christ. II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day of the Lord shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. In 1982, God said to me: "The "falling away" are not people leaving the churches. The "falling away" are the churches leaving the scriptures." The apostle Paul explains to us in II Thessalonians 2, that Jesus could not return until this happens. We have seen this happen and are seeing this happen in today's churches where scripture is abandoned in part and other doctrines are set up in the church groups. I've never seen any of these pastors or individuals in churches repent after they have accepted the doctrine of antichrist. Further concerning these people who will not repent: II Thessalonians 2 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God ... when did all these denominations and divisions begin in the church?

11/23/2025
(This podcast was previously published on December 20, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The apostle Paul called the elders of the church at Ephesus to come meet with him because Paul knew they would never see him again and Paul had a "charge" to give them concerning the church. Acts 20:25-30 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. The early church was already to feel division by those persons who were "antichrist". The apostle John explains: I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. And the apostle Paul explains the way some were trying to worship the preachers, which divides the body of Christ. I Corinthians 3:1-4 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 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. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? (One says, "I'm Baptist." and another says, "I'm Methodist.") Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (To try to keep from dividing the church, we can just say, "I'm a Christian," if we feel we must identify ourselves.) But often the person who hears this will ask, "What church?" for that person is carnal, failing to know there is only one church and that church has nothing to do with all these denominations set up by man to divide the body of Christ. The division in the church comes because some people put themselves into the church without having the spirit of God. Jude 17-19 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers (copiers/imitators) in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Such in the church groups are just waiting to have opportunity to say what they think. And without the Spirit, they speak their ideas to the church, what they think, and these are "perverse" things as Paul knew they would speak after his departure from the church at Ephesus. And Paul knew they were just waiting for an opportunity to draw away disciples after themselves. And by these the various denominations began where the church was divided one from another through their churches. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Jesus says: For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (Matthew 23:4)

11/22/2025
(This podcast was previously published on December 30, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In Matthew 23, Jesus spoke concerning the scribes and Pharisees, the ministers of the time when HE walked on this earth in the flesh. Many of these men who were heads of the synagogues and heads of the children of Israel, were very evil. By the Words Jesus spoke to us in Matthew 23, I see so many of today's preachers. Since we went on Internet with the ministry blog in March, 2012, we have received many e-mails from men who say they are "pastors". First they say how much they are helped by the word we publish. Then the truth comes out: send us a computer, send us Bibles, send us a projector, send us a camera, send us money to help pay for a school we have just built, send us money to help with our old folks home. They place heavy burdens on us and on other people but they won't lift a finger to help even in their own works. And Jesus said more things about these "ministers". Matthew 23 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Jesus said, concerning the end times: Matthew 24:4-5 Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. (2 Corinthians 13:8)

11/21/2025
(This podcast was previously published on January 10, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... When we are born of God, the Spirit of Truth lives in us. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. (I Corinthians 3:16 & I Corinthians 6:19) Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people: We know the truth. After I was born again, I went to a non-denominational church. I would shudder at some of the things the pastor and members of the congregation said. I knew the truth. But I didn't know then that I knew the truth. What they were speaking was not the truth and I was grieved, though I didn't even understand that I was grieved. Later God would show me truth about a scripture and often God reminded me of the bad feeling I had when these pastors taught opposite to that which God was showing me. We learn to recognize and to trust the Spirit of Truth when HE speaks to us. Many of those things taught today in our churches are not truth. And we know this because we are of truth. Jesus even says the voice of strangers we will not follow. (John 10) That is the reason we are troubled by many things spoken today at our churches by both pastors and by people in the congregations. In this Podcast I share some of those things. ***** I John 2 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 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. 29 If ye know that HE is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

How can we live the way of this world, and not go down with this world when troubles come upon this world?

11/20/2025
(This podcast was previously published on January 7, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... During Coronavirus, I watched TV reports for several months. People drove up to the food banks in their new cars to get the free food. Never once, I did see anyone in the line in an old, beat up car or pickup. What does this show us about the way people live today? (A life where they drive a new car, which is likely not paid for, to pick up free food?) If we, as the church, live by the way of the world, we will greatly suffer with the world when the world is affected. This world sets up all sorts of "special" days whereby they celebrate one thing or another. None of these days are prescribed by God in the Bible. They are all ideas of men, and other men thought it would be a good thing to celebrate these days, so they do. What happens when that "special" day fails to live up to our expectations? (sadness, depression, disappointment) We bring the failures of the plans of this world upon ourselves when we yoke ourselves to these plans which are not set forth by God. (such as: Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day) I've heard women brag about what they received from their husband on various holidays. Later the same women are depressed, for their husband is no longer living to give them these things they lusted after, and the women remember the past with longing, pulling themselves down by their own lusts. God's way is as follows: Colossians 3 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with HIM in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: If we live the way of this world, we will go down with this world. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Prayer requests? YOU should pray.

11/19/2025
(This podcast was previously published on November 29, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... No one knows the circumstances of your problems like you know them. James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.To be "effectual" that prayer must be according to the will of God "for you." You are the one who must go to God to find out the will of God for you before you pray. To be "fervent" that prayer must be "red hot". Most of us cannot be "red hot" concerning a stranger. We usually just do not experience the torment a stranger is going through. In your need you are "red hot" over your suffering. And your faith must be in God, and not in us. You should pray! Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (You pray directly to God.) 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. I John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us: And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM. You pray directly to God! ***** When a minister prints on his written materials, "Send me your prayer requests" usually, that minister is hoping you will put some money in the envelope with the prayer request. In such cases, requests for your prayer requests are fund raising gimmicks. ABC Primetime Live investigated Robert Tilton at Word Faith Family Church in Farmers Branch, Texas on November 21, 1991. (see Robert Tilton, ABC PRIMETIME LIVE, Wikipedia) Tilton printed, "Send me your prayer requests," on his published materials and told people to send him their prayer requests on his radio and TV shows. 80-million dollars per year was received according to the ABC News report. After the expose aired on ABC, offerings fell to 2-million dollars per year, still a lot of money. Some in his church began trying to sue Tilton for his hundredfold return doctrine. He divorced and ended up marrying 3 times. His church property was sold to the city of Farmers Branch and was torn down. I had the same advertising agent as Tilton. When I refused to ask people to send prayer request, the representative from the Michael Ellison Advertising Agency told me, "Well, you're missing a good bet by not doing this, for when they send prayer requests, they will usually put money into the envelope along with the prayer request." This was a fund raising scheme. When the envelopes arrived at Tilton's church, they were forwarded "unopened" to a bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where bank employees opened the prayer requests envelopes and removed the money, depositing that money into Tilton's bank account, and they threw the prayer requests into the garbage where ABC investigators found them in dumpsters. In my opinion, it would be impossible for ministers to adequately pray over individual problems when they received hundreds of prayer requests this way. This is all very evil. You, who send prayer requests, are somehow thinking that minister has more power with God than you have. So your faith is in the prayer of the minister rather than being in faith in God. And a minister who uses prayer this way does an evil deceptive work. I do not want you to send prayer request to me. I tell you in writing on our blog that you should pray. I have never solicited prayer requests during the past 40+ years that I have done ministry work as an apostle/prophet of Jesus Christ according to Ephesians 4:11-12. You should pray directly to God. *** A woman in our church group once asked me to help her pick out a lighting fixture for her dinning room. I agreed to meet her at the lighting store. Enroute to the store, I prayed: "God, please help us to find a light fixture immediately so we will not have to go all over town looking for one."

The devil tries to destroy us by getting us to do "good works"

11/18/2025
(This podcast was previously published on December 26, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Men come to us saying they are ministers asking us to send money to them and asking us to give them such things a computers and Bibles. They cause us to feel guilty over the blessings God has given us. All this are devils working through these "ministers" to harm us. We have blessings from God because we deliberately set ourselves to follow God by HIS Spirit. These men who want us to give them things do not seek God as we do, therefore they "lack" when they should have plenty as we do. Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. There are many deceivers today, especially they of the ministries. Don't be deceived by them. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

God will destroy this present heaven and earth with fire

11/17/2025
(This podcast was previously published on December 28, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Because of the Bible, we know that which is coming in the time ahead. Peter tells us: II Peter 3:10-13 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. Knowing the future things that are coming, according to Bible, changes everything! We cannot put our hope in a continuation of things on this earth as we have known them. We cannot build our lives on this earth as we have done. Everything we can see with our natural eye will be destroyed by God and that could happen at any time. I see it as something similar to Coronavirus. Those things we had were gone immediately! In one day, all sports in the USA vanished from our sight. Businesses closed. Streets became vacant. When God sends the great tribulation, at first, some people may not even realize anything significant is happening. Plague #1: Revelation 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. A third of the earth was affected. If this happens in USA, will the people in Russia know anything that will affect them has happened? (A virus in China has nothing to do with us in USA? does it?) But look at that which happens with the 4th tribulation from God: Revelation 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Now everyone all over the entire world will know something is happening. And this world will be greatly affected. And far more is to come: 10 more tribulations which will be even worse Revelation 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. ***** Colossians 3 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with HIM in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of HIM that created him: 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus...

God shakes the heavens and the earth and then Jesus returns to gather the righteous

11/16/2025
(This podcast was previously published on December 24, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... God created the heaven and the earth and kept them in place by HIS Word. At the end, before Jesus returns, God shakes the power of the heaven and the earth. The prophets of the Old Testament saw the end of this present world. Joel 2:1-2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in MY holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. Joel 2:30-32 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. Amos 5:18-20 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? Isaiah 13:13 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 1980's, I had this dream: The earth slipped on its axis. People were terrified. The governments of men were meeting with the scientists and with the religious leaders to see what might be done about this problem. (Nothing can be done for it will be God causing the earth to slip.) A TV newsman was trying to give a report about the happening and he was so terrified he couldn't continue speaking. He just stopped and walked out of the newsroom. Jesus tells of this end time: 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. 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: 30-31 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. Then God destroys this present heaven and earth by fire: ***** II Peter 3 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...

The last 7 plagues of the wrath of God before the return of Jesus

11/15/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 23, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Revelation16:1-2 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome (smelly) and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. Many doctrines in churches today are doctrines of men and not doctrines of God. As churches follow the doctrines of men, the people of those churches take on the mark of the beast, worshiping something that is not God. Upon these people comes the wrath of God. Plagues of blood to follow: Revelation 16:3-4 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And the angels in heaven rejoiced saying: 5-6 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and Thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are THY judgments. But the men of this world who have taken on the mark of the beast curse God over these plagues and they repent not of their works. The fourth angel of the 7 angels, brings a plague that affects men greatly. ***** Revelation 16 8-9 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory. 10-11 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 (Jesus says) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. We will not be ashamed in the day of the Lord when we follow the instructions given by the New Testament Bible, for by these we correct our way on this earth and come into agreement with God and HIS Word, Jesus. But those in churches who agree with antichrist and follow his doctrines will be ashamed when Jesus returns for His righteous. Correct yourselves now by the New Testament Bible and follow the doctrines of the Bible and turn from the antichrist doctrines being taught by man, and agree with God, while there is still time. Revelation 16 17-21 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell...

These scriptures show us what to expect to see just before Jesus returns

11/14/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 22, 2020) 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 the sun and the moon go dark and the stars fall from heaven, know that the coming of Jesus and the end of this present world is very close! God keeps the solar system in place now but when God shakes the powers of heaven, everything changes. The earth will be moved and the entire heavens will be changed by God and affected. Notice the following concerning this earth: Isaiah 13:13 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. God gave me a dream in the mid-80's as follows: The earth slipped on its axis. People were very frightened. The governments of men and the scientists and the religious leaders were meeting to see what might be done about this. (Nothing can be done for it is God who has made this happen.) A TV newscaster was trying to report the story on TV but he was so frightened that he just stopped speaking and stood up and left the studio. What about the 14 plagues and woes of the great tribulation? (Discussed on this Podcast) ***** I believe these scriptures show us that the order of the end times will be: * Many antichrist move into the churches as ministers, speaking perverse things, and the churches fall away from various scriptures. (II Thess. 2:3-4) This has been happening since the death of Paul. (Acts 20:29-30) Thus the church divided into denominations. Many antichrist doctrines are taught in the churches today. Many doctrines are opposite to that doctrine of Christ taught in the Bible. Example: Mt. 5:32 Jesus says: " ... and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Churches teach another doctrine today and permit men to marry divorced women. This is antichrist. * 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. * The great tribulation is sent by God: (Revelation 8, 9, 16) * 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: (Matthew 24:29) * Then Jesus comes through the clouds and gathers the church to Himself. (Matthew 24:30) *** Specific information about the great tribulation: God directed me to focus on the following: 1/3 of the earth as shown in the first, second, and third plagues. Revelation 8: 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were...

When Jesus returns for the church

11/13/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 25, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The word, "Rapture", is used in many churches to describe the church being removed from this present earth and taken into heaven. The first time I ever heard this word, "Rapture" used at church, I was very shocked. I checked New Testament Bible and found this word, "Rapture", is not in the Bible. It is a word that was made up by man. I never use this word to describe the church being taken into heaven. The following scriptures wonderfully tell us what will happen: I Thessalonians 4:13-17 ... The dead in Christ rise first. 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 (dead). 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. ("In the air" is very important for it shows us Jesus' kingdom will not be on the present earth. After we are removed from this earth, God will destroy this heaven and earth by fire. We will be in our new spiritual bodies and will be taken to the New Heaven and the New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.) I Corinthians 15:48-52 ... We are changed into new spiritual bodies. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (On this earth we have the physical form resembling our parents. In heaven we will have the form of God and Jesus which is a spiritual form.) 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52 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. ***** An artist depicted the rising of the church but this artist showed individuals rising out of their autos in their present physical bodies. This will not happen. First those on the earth at the time Jesus returns will be changed into the spiritual bodies. This physical body does not rise for it is corruptible, subject to physical disease and pain and emotions which are hurtful. In heaven, there will be no pain, nor sorrow, nor death ... thus in heaven there will be no physical type body as we know the body today. *** Revelation 21:1-5 ... We are taken to the new heaven and the new earth. 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. *** II Peter 3:10-14 ... This earth is destroyed by God. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass...

Hearing the Word from God and going forward doing what HE says

11/12/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 29, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... * How are your finances? Have you heard anything from God, which way to go forward? Have you talked with God about this? 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. *** * Is there anything that is difficult or complicated in your life or in days approaching? Is your yoke easy? Or is your yoke hard? Jesus says: Matthew 11: 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. If your "yoke" is difficult, then you have somehow yoked yourself to plans of men rather than plans of God. You have done that which was wise in your own eyes. Turn to God in prayer and ask HIM to help you, to undo those burdens, to help you to go forward in HIS ways and in HIS plans. 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. If anything in your life is difficult, complex, financially draining, then you are not going in the wisdom of God. When God gives us HIS plan, it is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy. Is there anything that troubles you? Are you concerned about anything? If so, pray, and settle the matter with God. Pour out your heart to God on the matter. Let your "requests" be made known unto God. Philippians:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ***** Matthew 7 Jesus says: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Are you able to recognize the 14 plagues of the great tribulation? I think it is a good idea for us to know what they are so we will understand if we see them.

11/11/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 17, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In the Bible, concerning the end time, we read: Daniel 12:1-3 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. During the plagues, the scientists will look for reasons for the various happenings, as they always look for reasons. But in Daniel 12:10, we read: Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. The plagues and woes of the great tribulation are divided into two parts. The first seven plagues are loosed by individual angels who sound their trumpets. Revelation 8 & 9 The first trumpet sounds and there comes hail and fire mingled with blood coming on 1/3 of the earth. The second trumpet sounds and a great mountain burning with fire is cast into the sea and 1/3 of the sea became blood and the 1/3 part of the creatures in the sea died and 1/3 part of the ships were destroyed. The third trumpet sounds and a great star which was burning fell from heaven and it fell upon 1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of waters and the waters became bitter and many men died of the waters. The fourth trumpet sounds and the third part of the sun and moon and stars were "smitten" so they were dark, and the day shown not for 1/3 part and the night likewise. The fifth trumpet sounded and a great star fell from heaven and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit which he unlocked, bringing smoke of a great furnace which darkened the sun and air and out of the smoke came locust upon the earth and they had great power to hurt those men for five months who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads. The sixth trumpet sounded and the 4 angels which were bound in the Euphrates were loosed and killed the third part of men. The seventh angel sounded and made the declaration that there should be time no more. Then 7 more angels poured out vials of the wrath of God upon the earth: Revelation 16 (each angel pored out a vial of the wrath of God) * There fell a smelly and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast and which worshipped the image of the beast. * The sea became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea. * The fountains and rivers of water became blood. * The vial was poured out on the sun and great heat scorched men with fire. * The next vial was poured out on the seat of "the beast" and his kingdom was made full of darkness and the men of his kingdom suffered pain and gnawed their tongues. * The sixth vial was poured on the river Euphrates and the water dried up, and three unclean spirits like frogs came out of the mouth of the dragon and the beast and the false prophet, for they are the spirits of devils working miracles. * The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air and a great voice from heaven said, "It is done." And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings and a great earthquake, and the cities of nations fell, and every island fled away and every mountain disappeared, and great hail fell, and men blasphemed God. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Is there a "Law of God" for the New Testament church today?

11/10/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 21, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... It is important to read New Testament Bible and to keep scriptures of what God says before us so we will not drift away from God's laws with the thinking of humans and be turned over by God to a reprobate mind. Romans 1:28 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; 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 only thing important is: What does God say? By the New Testament Bible, we set our thinking to match God's view. *** Consider this: 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. In churches, people are often told, "We don't go by the law in the New Testament church." We don't go by the law of Moses concerning sacrifice of animals for sins, but we still go by the New Testament laws of God as the New Testament church. 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 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. Matthew 5:32 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. (If a husband divorces a faithful wife and she remarries, she will commit adultery but her husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery. And the man who marries this divorced woman commits adultery.) Mark 10 2 And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus), and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM. 3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter. 11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. At the marriage ceremony, most couples vow that marriage is "till death do them part." That is certainly what God teaches. *** In the Bible, the apostle Paul shows us how the two become one flesh. I Corinthians 6:15-16 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh. (Even if a man has sex with a prostitute, the two become one flesh.) How do you separate one flesh? You can't explain it away by divorce papers from...

None of the wicked will understand the plagues of the last days but the righteous will understand and be purified

11/9/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 18, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... During the great tribulation that God sends upon this earth, we read: Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. God sends HIS wrath upon this earth: great hail stones, fire mingled with blood, a great mountain moves into the sea, a great star falls and the waters are poisoned and many die, the solar system changes and there is 1/3 less sun, moon, and stars, locust come out from the bottomless pit and "sting" men who have the mark of the beast upon their foreheads and hurt them for 5 months with torments of their stings, 4 angels come from the river Euphrates and kill 1/3 part of the men upon this earth, the 7th angel declares there shall be time no more. (Revelation 8 & 9) Then the vials of the wrath of God are carried by the next 7 angels and they are poured out one by one upon the earth and the men who have the mark of the beast on their bodies: great smelly sores came on these men who worshiped the beast, the sea became as blood and every living soul in the sea died, the fountains and rivers became blood, the sun scorched men with fire, the kingdom of the beast was filled with great darkness whereby men of the beast suffered pain and gnawed their tongues, spirits of devils working miracles were loosed from the river Euphrates and the water dried up, the 7th angel pours his vial into the air and announced, "It it done," and there were voices and thunders and lightnings and a great earthquake and the cities of the nations fell and every island fled away and every mountain disappeared, and great hail fell ... "and men blasphemed God." (Revelation 16) Revelation 9:20-21 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Even when the plagues came, they could not repent and they did not repent. They had taken on the mark of the beast, antichrist. They blasphemed God instead in the midst of the plagues. "None of the wicked shall understand." (Daniel 12:10) The main way we recognize antichrist today in the churches today is when we speak they cannot understand what we are saying for they do not have the Spirit of God but the spirit in them is another spirit. Jesus said: John 8:43-45 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth. They do not have the Holy Spirit in them though they say "Jesus is Lord". So like their father, the devil, when they speak they speak lies and they do not understand the truth therefore they do not repent of their sins. * But the righteous understand ... and are therefore refined and purified in the tribulations ... and repent of their past sins. But none of the wicked understand. (Daniel 12:10) 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Christmas? Where is that in the Bible? Christ's mass?

11/8/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 15, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... According to Wikipedia (Internet Encyclopedia) "Christmas actually evolved from pagan traditions celebrating the winter solstice." It was a long winter so they met to celebrate the sun ... they worshipped the sun. Christmas is not mentioned in the Bible. We are not told by GOD to do any of these things the people of this world do concerning their holiday, Christmas. At one point, God even said HE hated those solemn feasts: Isaiah 1:13-17 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto ME; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide MINE eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before MINE eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Men establish so many feasts and holidays which are not appointed by God and they become idols of worship to men. Much sorrow comes through these things which are not called for by God. In the early Christmas, it was a worship to the "sun" for the long winter was ending in the north countries. When God commands something, how often does the world flock to do that commandment? The vast popularity of Christmas testifies to it being something of man that he thought to be a good idea. There is no word from God in the Bible to "celebrate" Christmas or Easter. These were ideas of man and set up by pagan men and became idols of men. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Why do men allow other men to call themselves "Reverend"?

11/7/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 14, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... A man wrote to me and at the bottom of the letter he called himself "Reverend." Immediately I told him he should not call himself "Reverend", for only God in the Bible is called "Reverend." Psalm 111:9 HE (God) sent redemption unto His people: HE hath commanded His covenant for ever: holy and reverend is HIS name. This man said he went to Bible college and they told them now they could call themselves "Reverend". God said to me: "But you wouldn't allow them to call you Reverend." (I thought about this.) How is it that I wouldn't allow this when they do? Then I realized it was because I have the Holy Spirit of Truth in me and they do not. They have another spirit. Then I saw the following scripture, concerning the mark of the beast. Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the dragon & the beast), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

Many in the church are weak and sickly and many die because they mishandle the Word of God

11/6/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 9, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In both the Old and New Testament we have strong warning about the misuse of the Word of God. God gave very specific instruction concerning the building of the ark of the covenant. It was to be made from specific wood and covered inside and outside with pure gold. For the ark was to contain the most precious thing of all things on this entire earth. What did they carry in the ark? rubies, gold, diamonds? No that which they carried was far more precious than the most precious things of this world. God said: "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee." And only select men could carry the ark. When a man who was not appointed to touch the ark, reached up and steadied the ark when the oxen stumbled, God struck this man dead. II Samuel 6:1-7 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. Uzzah was not one of the men who was appointed by God to touch the ark, the Bible. Paul explains to us that because men use the Bible unworthily, many are weak and sickly and many die. ***** In the New Testament, Paul says, I Corinthians 11:27-31 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die). 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (In this scripture, Paul is speaking of the way we use the Bible.) Using the Bible is a very serious matter. The examples of the Old Testament show how precious the Word of God is and how it must be handled carefully. This is confirmed in the New Testament. Jesus, The Word of God, is above rubies and all other things to see or desire. Because of the misuse of the Word of God, many today are weak and sickly and many die. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

One says, "I'm Baptist." Another says, "I'm Methodist." Paul says they are carnal and divide the body of Christ. (I Cor. 3)

11/5/2025
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 13, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... People think they witness to God when they tell the name of the church they attend. But when a person does this, he shows he is carnal and he brings division to the body of Christ according to the apostle Paul. I Corinthians 3:1-4 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 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. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? If we speak of God, we should speak of that which God has done with us or of that which God has said to us. (They don't do that! They speak of their church and love to tell where they go to church. They think they witness to God when really they are promoting their church group.) If we feel we have to identify ourselves, we should just say, "I am a Christian." Ephesians 4:3-6 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
