(This podcast was previously published on January 22, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    John 6:28-29  Then said they unto HIM, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on HIM whom HE hath sent.   Examples:   *  August 5, 1975   The following came into my mind.  It was God speaking to me by HIS Spirit:  "Joan.  You know those mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."   SINS!  I had no idea they were sins.  But I knew this word I had heard was true!   (With that I was born again.)   ***   * 1977   I was scheduled to testify at a court trial.  I heard:  "Don't testify."  I believed that was a word from God.   I told my lawyer I was not going to be able to testify.  He said he thought we would win the case anyway because Flo had also witnessed the event and she would testify.   Now the persecution is going to come "for the Word's sake", to try to drive me away from obeying that word which I believed to be from God.   When Flo learned I would not be testifying, she became very angry with me and said:  "Now all the burden will be on me since you won't testify.  I replied, "What can I do?  I believe God told me not to testify so I can't testify.   Then the man I was dating said, "Joan you aren't doing this woman any good by not testifying."  I replied, "I'm not trying to do her any good.  I believe God told me not to testify so I can't testify."   Then during the court trial, my lawyer came to me and said, "Flo's testimony wasn't as strong as I had hoped for.  But if you will testify we will win this case."  I replied, "I'll see."  I went into the ladies room at the courthouse and prayed asking God what HE wanted me to do and I heard, "Don't testify."   I returned to the court room and just shook my head indicating "no" to my lawyer.   The court case proceeded.  I did not testify.  We won the case.   More examples of believing you've heard from God and doing that word will be recorded on this Podcast.   ***   *  1978   I owned a small business in American Indian Arts at the time I was born again.   During this time, an itinerant salesman of Indian arts filed a lawsuit against me.  I hired a lawyer to defend me. But the legal fees were eating up all the profit from my business, and God had shown me to get out of debt and to stay out of debt and I had done that.  Now I was faced with the prospect of having to go back into debt because of the bills from my own lawyer.   The Holy Spirit called the following scripture to my attention:   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.   I looked at that scripture and began to reason:   I'm a Christian now so this promise of God applies to me.   This weapon of this lawsuit cannot prosper against me.  So why am I having a lawyer represent me in court.  I can stop the legal bills by dismissing my lawyer from the case and I can go to court without any human legal counsel.   I was a very new Christian at that time so I decided to make an appointment with my pastor and tell him my plans.   As I drove to meet my pastor, I was praying, asking God to give the pastor wisdom.   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.   After I told the story to the pastor and revealed my plan to him, pastor said:  "Joan, I perceive you have faith to handle this situation this way."   I released my lawyer.   Lawyer said, "Joan, you don't know how evil these courts are today.  You can't do this."     Then lawyer said, "We're willing to work with you.  It will only take about $10,000 more to try your case."   I was shocked and screamed, "$10,000  MORE ...
