Part 3: Examples: Working the works of God because we believe the Word

(This podcast was previously published on January 24, 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: From the time I was born again in 1975, God spoke to me many times by HIS Holy Spirit who brought information to my mind concerning the situations of this present life. By these, I knew the will of God for me in the matter at hand. A few of these examples are as follows: * December 6, 2018 In the night, I fell in the hallway about 6 feet from my bedroom. I lived alone at that time. I was badly injured as I fell on the hall floor. I felt my left hip was broken and my left hand was bent completely backward from my wrist. I managed to roll my body onto my right hip and I started trying to crawl to the bedroom where there was a phone on the night stand. My goal was to pull on phone cord so the receiver of the phone would fall onto the floor where I could reach it and call for help. But as I tried to inch my way down the tile hallway, the pain was so severe I felt I would lose consciousness. I couldn't do this. I couldn't get to the bedroom. But if I didn't, I felt I would die on the floor in that hallway, for no one was due at my house for another 8 days. Then I heard this word from God by the Holy Spirit: "You can do this." Because I believed "that" word, I began to move toward bedroom inch by inch. It took me 4 1/2 hours to reach the carpet area of the bedroom, which was about 6 feet from the place I had fallen in the hallway. It was even more difficult to crawl when I got to the carpet. But because of that word from God telling me, "You can do this," I made myself to keep crawling. When I reached the phone and pulled on the cord, the receiver squirted off and I never saw the phone receiver again. But under the table I saw a Kindle tablet which had been recharging. If I could reach that tablet maybe I could get an email out to our church group and get them to send ambulance to my house! I tried several times to send email. I was almost unconscious and could barely see the screen of the Kindle table, and I only had one hand to work with, for the other wrist was broken and the hand was doubled backward and could not be used. About 30 minutes later I heard someone at my front door. I knew one of the church members had gotten my email where I said, "fallen ... help ... send ambulance". (Pam Padgett who lived in Colorado got the email and called the Lubbock, Texas, police department and told them what had happened and asked police to send ambulance to my house in Texas.) As they had me on hospital gurney and were rolling me past my front door to take me to hospital, I heard these words from the Holy Spirit of God. "You'll never see this house again." I didn't care. I knew God had a plan for me! And what a plan it turned out to be! *** * February 24, 2019 I was in rehabilitation hospitals for 2 1/2 months after surgery. During that time God worked it out for me to move into home of Pam Padgett in Colorado. Pam came several times from Colorado to Texas (450 miles one way). On one of the trips, Pam managed to get my cat into a cat carrier (3 hours to do this), and she took the cat to Colorado as she drove my 25 year old car, in January 2019. I was released from rehabilitation hospital on February 24, 2019. (I was 81 years old at that time and I couldn't walk except by a walker and then only a few feet.) Pam flew from Denver to Texas to help me with the plane trip. I took pain and nausea medicine and we flew to Denver, Colorado, and drove another 60 miles to Colorado Springs to Pam's house. When we got to Pam's house, I had a great deal of difficulty getting into the house because of a step on the porch. I could walk and was using walker. It looked like I wasn't going to be able to get up that step. But I kept trying and finally did make it into Pam's house. The next thing we did was put a ramp from garage to laundry room of Pam's house. I still use that ramp to get in and out of the house. *** * March, 2020 I had put the house in Texas on the real estate market in December, 2018. It did not sell for the next 1 1/2 years. I kept praying! Coronavirus became known to all in USA on March 11, 2020, when businesses began closing, and all sporting events were cancelled in USA. (Never before had we seen anything like this!) People were terrified! and I was saying to God, "What about that house in Texas? Is there anything You want me to do?" Instantly I heard following from the Holy Spirit of God: "Reduce the price of the house and put it on a special sale price for the next week." I told my realtor in Texas to do this. The house sold ...
