VOLUME 7 - Product Description

Even in Paul's day, antichrist was visible in the church groups.

Paul says,

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed

2,000 years later ... what is it like in the churches?

I have tried, since 1982, to find a church to attend.  Without exception, pastors were twisting scripture, omitting scripture, deleting scripture in each of the churches I have tried to attend since that time. 

I went to each pastor with the scripture, but in each case pastor became angry and showed no sorrow nor repentance concerning what he had done with scripture.

*****

How can this be?  What is happening?

In March, 2017, God gave me one word and by that one word I realized what it is that I have been seeing for 30+ years.

It is the apostasy Paul said had to come in the churches before Jesus returned.

The word that opened my eyes was the word: "restraint"

The restraint against antichrist has been removed.  The restraint was the scripture, THE WORD. 

Certainly scripture is still citied even in the worst church group. 

But who today speaks these words:  The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

(That is what Jesus said:  Mt. 5:32)

Antichrist is already sitting in the church groups as Paul said had to happen.  (II Thess. 2 / NASB)

The apostasy is rampant in the churches.  It will not be stopped until Jesus returns through the air.

In the meantime,  we are told in Bible to exhort one another "even more" as we see the day (of the LORD)  approaching.  (Heb. 10)

Exhortations for the Church is what this book and the other volumes of these writings are about.  To help the remnant that remains at this time to be built in the faith in God and to endure these times.

Joan Boney

Preface: Vol. 7

The wrath of God, spoken about in Bible, comes when the lawlessness moves into the churches.

It is a very serious time we live in.

Restraints which held antichrist back, were scriptures.

With the removal of certain scripture and portions of scripture, antichrist moved into the church groups.  He is here now ... in churches ... speaking to congregations ... in the form of pastors and other speakers.

(Antichrist is not one man but is a spirit operating in many men just as the devil is not one man but a spirit in many men.)

Paul wrote about antichrist coming into the churches in the following scripture: 

II Thess. 2 ...NASB ... 

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the LORD) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed

*****

Who, today, speaks these words of Jesus:

Mt. 5:32 ... But I (Jesus) 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.

I've never heard this spoken at church.  Has this scripture not been removed? 

Several years ago, I went to a dinner at a museum group.  I was seated next to a man who was wearing the largest cross I've ever seen around his neck.  He quickly identified himself as the former pastor at Indiana Baptist Church.  He began talking about this church group and said, "We have a problem.  We keep increasing the size of our church building and more people keep attending and we don't have enough room to seat all the people who are coming to our services."

I replied:  "If you would begin teaching the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery,  about 1/2 of the people would leave and you wouldn't have trouble seating people."

*****

God showed me this as far back as 1979, through the following terrifying dream.

A meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun." 

The first man resumed speaking.  

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole. A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people. It was coming directly toward us!  

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!  

I looked at the man seated next to me. He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group. But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive. He was already dead!  

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.  

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.  

God was showing me the anarchy in the church groups, at the time of the dream, 1979. And it is much worse today. 

*****

Paul said the last days would be perilous.   II Tim. 3

One of the things we are told to do in such times is to "exhort" one another "and even more" as we see the day of the LORD approaching.

This is the purpose of this book of exhortations for the church today.

Joan Boney

*7/1 ... Be not conformed to this world

Romans 12:1-2 ... the apostle Paul says to us ... 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. 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.

*****

When we turn on TV, we see all manner of things accepted by this world, which are contrary to the Word of God.

And we also find the church groups approving all manner of things contrary to the word of God. 

(such as men marrying divorced women and approving divorce and remarriage in the church ... some church groups even accept and approve homosexuals and lesbians into the congregation ... and sex outside of marriage is often sitting right there in the congregation without shame and without repentance.) 


The apostle Paul tells individuals who have the Spirit of God not to be like this but rather to be transformed by the renewing of our mind to the word of God, the Holy Scriptures.

The scriptures are the restraint against antichrist.  If we cast aside even a small portion of a verse of scripture, we open the door for antichrist to move in and we put ourselves in a position to partake of the wrath of God which is coming upon this world and the churches who accept ungodliness into their groups.


We must renew our minds to the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, the Word of God ... and we must do this often in our doctrines to keep from being swept away by the thinking expressed by the people around us and by the church groups today.

*****

Concerning divorce/remarriage  ...

I Cor. 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.

Mt. 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.

Not only is adultery caused by the husband who divorces a faithful wife, but the faithful wife commits adultery after divorce if she remarries, and the man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. 

None of these things are reasonable to people of this world.  Most church groups today teach another doctrine, approving all manner of divorce/remarriage in their groups. 

But we who are of God must cling to what God has given us in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are inspired by God.

It is critical that we stand fast to what the Bible says without wavering.

*****

Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:  

Romans 1:18 ...  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 
...  21-22  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
...  24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

...  26-27 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:  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.

Throughout the entire Bible, homosexual acts are forbidden.  In the Old Testament they are called "sodomites" and they are cast out from the people of God in each example in the Old Testament.  In the New Testament we see the truth in Romans 1 ... God's thinking ...

Also we see the following scripture saying such will not inherit the kingdom of God ...

I Cor. 6:9-11 ... Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

(of course if such are born again and repent and refuse such acts, that is another matter ... but they cannot continue homosexual/lesbian acts and inherit the kingdom of God ... as is the same case with adulterers and fornicators and drunkards and other sins.) 

***** 

Concerning sexual intercourse outside of marriage:  

I Cor. 6 ... 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.  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
 
Flee fornication.

Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

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? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Fornication is a sin different from all other sins.  Fornication is a sin against Christ's own body.

And at the time of sexual intercourse you become "one flesh" with that person ... This puts sexual sins in a category different from all other sins. 

*****

We must be firmly grounded in each of the above scriptures, keeping the doctrines of the Holy Bible, refusing all other reasonings of man.

This means it is critical for us to renew our minds often to these doctrines.  For the world and the church groups are teaching something very different from what the Bible says on these matters.

I Tim. 5:22  ... neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

*****

And we need to review the following many times for this is truth from God about the churches today.

II Thess. 2 ... NASB ... Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the LORD) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed

The scriptures restrain antichrist ... The removal of scriptures allows antichrist to come in to the churches ... Antichrist is not one man but is a spirit in many men just as the devil is a spirit in many men.

*****

The poison gas dream:

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:

A meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun." 

The first man resumed speaking.  

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun." 

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole. A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people. It was coming directly toward us!  

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!  

I looked at the man seated next to me. He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group. But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive. He was already dead!  

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.  

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.  

God was showing me the anarchy in the church groups, at the time of the dream, 1979. And it is much worse today. 

*7/2 ... The Woman Taken In Adultery ... John 8

Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery:

"Go, and sin no more ..."   Jn. 8:11

You cannot continue in your sins and be approved by God.

*7/3 ... God Gives Us Power, Love, And A Sound Mind

After we were born again, our "old man", our flesh is buried with Christ and a "new creation" is born of the Spirit of God.

With that new spirit, The Holy Spirit, comes power, love, and a sound mind.

We are completely different after we are born again.

We enter into the fullness of this new life each time the Holy Spirit reminds us of a scripture or calls our attention to a scripture as we are reading Bible, and we see that scripture and do that scripture.

We are recreated "in the image of Christ", over and over, by doing various scriptures shown us by the Holy Spirit.

*****

II Tim. 1 ... Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; WHO hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to HIS own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

*****

Power, Love, Sound Mind 

At the time we are born again, we are given the Spirit of God to live in us.  This is great power for the Spirit of God knows the mind of God and reveals the will of God to us so we can go in the way of God on this present earth in each of the issues of this life.   (I Cor. 2)

We find there are times God will have us speak HIS truth to the disobedient as we are lights in the midst of darkness.

There are other times we will depart from a rebellious individual by the Spirit of God.


All things are done by HIS Spirit which dwelleth in us ...  for HIS Spirit will remind us of a scripture to show us what to do ... or HIS Spirit will give us a WORD of wisdom, like a light going on in our head to show us what to do ... it just becomes clear to us ... but it is all by HIS Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, and we walk in HIS way by HIS Spirit in the issues of this life.

Now we live in love, not wanting to hurt anyone ... 

Because of God, we now have a wisdom above this world, knowing this present world will pass away ... our mind BECOMES no longer fixed on this world but on things above and on pleasing God while we live on this earth.

"What does God want me to do?" is our continual thought, for we now serve God rather than serving ourselves.


Therefore we continually overcome in the midst of a very crooked generation through God by HIS SPIRIT.

*****

The Bible tells us a great deal about the Spirit of God, The Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, The Comforter.

Jn. 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.

Jn. 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 Cor. 2:9-13 ... 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. But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

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.

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.

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.

*****

And we learn to wait in peace for Jesus Christ who removes us and changes our bodies into our new bodies for eternal life, gathering us to HIM in the air with those who have gone before us ... with Abraham, David, Paul, Peter, John and all others whom we love though we have never seen them in the flesh ... with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ... with Daniel ... with Josiah ... with Gideon ... with Stephen ... with Moses ... with all who have served God and worship HIM.


Romans 8 ... What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not HIS own Son, but delivered HIM up for us all, how shall HE not with HIM also freely give us all things?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth?

It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, WHO is even at the right hand of God, WHO also maketh intercession for us. 

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For THY sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
 
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us. 


For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*7/4 ... Sharing The Reward In The Work Of The Ministry

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet


Here is a letter I wrote recently to those in our little church group ...

*****

Each of you faithfully give to this ministry.

I believe that enables you to share in any good work done ... in all messages ... in all encouragements to all believers all over the world.

I believe you share, though I write these exhortations.

You take part with me in the reward that is laid up for us in heaven because you, too, believe.

And I often point out to God your faithfulness in tithes and offerings, for this is to your credit.

And each of you are very faithful to do this.

When I spoke to the woman at Costco on parking lot as I reported to you, you share in that too.

And I believe all this will be to your credit because of your tithes/offerings to this ministry appointed by God, for you are a part of it, in equal share with me, as I view it.

*7/5 ... That Good Thing Which Was Committed To You Keep By The Holy Ghost Which Dwells In You. II Tim. 1:14

The Holy Spirit reminds us of everything Jesus has said to us.  (Jn. 14:26)

We hold fast to the faith, keeping ourselves in the faith, by paying attention to that called to our mind by the Holy Spirit.

God gave me a spiritual gift of exhortation so I could do these writings encouraging us in the faith in God and the way of God.

*****

When negative thoughts come (and they do come), often I will be reminded of the following scriptures which keep me in the way of God and on the highway of God on this present earth.

Heb. 3:12-14 ... Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.   But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.   For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Heb. 10 ... but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

*****

And Heb. 10 says to exhort "even more" as we see the day of the Lord approaching.

I have no doubt we see "the day of the LORD" approaching because of what God showed me about antichrist being in the churches because of their removal of various scriptures which was the restraint keeping antichrist out. 

*****

Phil. 3:1 ... the apostle Paul said ...   To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

II Cor. 13:1 ... This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

It is important for us to read the same scripture over and over ... It is important for us to share godly dreams and what the Holy Spirit said multiple times.

Thus I am not hesitant to share the following critical information with the church in multiple writings, missing no chance to repeat the story.  We don't know but what this is the first time someone has come across this account.  Also it is very good for each one of us to have repeat warnings from the Spirit of God. 

***** 

II Thess. 2 ... NASB ... Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the LORD) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed   

***** 

And what if we continue to sit in a church group where scripture has been removed or explained away:

I believe the following dream shows what happens to the congregation in such churches.

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:

A meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun." 

The first man resumed speaking.  

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole. A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people. It was coming directly toward us!  

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!  

I looked at the man seated next to me. He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group. But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive. He was already dead!  

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.  

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.  

(The apostle Paul said it is beneficial for the church to hear godly instruction repeated ... Phil. 3:1 & II Cor. 13 ... I know Satan comes to steal the word unless we build a strong root system through focusing on the word and by taking action appropriate to the message ... Mk. 4) 

*****

I depart from discouragement and keep myself by focusing on the instructions of the Holy Scriptures as reminded by the Holy Spirit and by action appropriate to the information given by the Spirit of God and the scripture.

*****

Sometimes church people are lukewarm about things of God and that would discourage me from sharing what God has given me except for the following encouragement given by the Holy Spirit as HE reminds me of the Holy Scripture.

I Cor. 15:57-58 ... But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

*****

Because of this instruction, I continue in the work assigned me by God, choosing to focus on this scripture and the instruction rather than the negative report I often see from individuals when I share the word of God.

*****

A young man described the Bible as "legalistic".

I was very grieved when I heard this.  I turned to God with his statement and the Holy Spirit reminded me of the following scripture which brought truth and joy back to me.

Jesus said:  

Mt. 7:13-14 ... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The world wants freedom to sin ... to be approved in sin.

And the churches today are happy to approve them in their sin and to explain away the scriptures which would condemn sin.

Paul said it would be a "perilous time" and it is.

*****

But the word of God is the way of life.  When we start to pull off God's highway, we are pulled back onto the road by being awakened as the Holy Spirit reminds us of a scripture.

Scripture frees us from the bondage of sin when we do the scripture!

The Holy Spirit reminds us of freeing scriptures.

So the apostle Paul instructs us to "keep ourselves" by the Spirit that dwells in us! 

*7/6 ... Entanglements Of This Life

II Tim. 2:1-4 ... Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who hath chosen him to be a soldier.  

*****

When we entangle ourselves with this present life, we are pulled away from the way of God.  And when we try to pull back on God's road for us, often we find ourselves bound to parts of this life that restrict us and divert our minds to worldly matters.

Jesus said such things keep a person from producing from the seed of God.

Mk. 4 ...  And HE taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in HIS doctrine,
 
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.  And HE said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

...  14 The sower soweth the word.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 

And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

*****

We must understand there is nothing more important to us than the Word of God.

It is like treasure, like that pearl of great price ... spoken of by Jesus.

Mt. 13 ... Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

*****

My mother told me of the following dream she had about me.  I came to visit and was driving a large white van.  She said I was very protective of that vehicle.  I kept walking around it, viewing it carefully from every perspective, allowing nothing to harm it.

I knew immediately that pertained to the ministry and the work to which God has called me for the church.

Through the years, I have avoided many people and circumstances which would interfere with my freedom to speak as I believed God wanted me to speak ... not perverting HIS word. 

When I was on radio in Seattle, Washington, the radio station manager said to me: 

"Joan, you have many good messages.  Just speak those messages.  If you keep speaking these judgment messages I don't know what will happen to you.  We might have to put you off the air."

Instantly ... without any thought at all ... the Holy Spirit spoke the following words through me ...

"George ... if I don't speak the message I believe to be from God then I don't have a message and I may as well be off the air."

This has been a defining word for the remainder of my life.

*****

And often God has said to me, "Stay free and serve ME."

The apostle Paul said ... 


Gal. 1 ... For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

*****

We cannot allow any thing nor any person to interfere with that message that we believe to be from God.

Mt. 4 ... Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve.

 

*7/7 ... Paul says: Hold Fast the Form of Sound Words, Which You Have Heard From Me

What did the apostle Paul tell us?  Remembering the words of the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God.

Hold fast to these words ...

I Cor. 7 ... 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.

*****

Today's churches have changed these instructions in order to please people in their congregations and also they changed these instruction in order to attract people to their churches. (antichrist)

Paul knew this would happen in the churches after his lifetime ... 

Acts 20 ... Paul says ... 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.   

*****

We must not allow ourselves to be swept away in these times by doctrines of men which have replaced the word of God in the various churches. 

Jesus said the following would happen in the end times and Jesus warned HIS people that this would happen and told us not to be deceived by those who come saying "Jesus is Lord" ...

Mt. 24:4-5 ... And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ; and shall deceive many.

*****

Because they come saying, "Jesus is Lord", many will listen to what they say and be deceived by their perversions.  Jesus warned us not to allow them to deceive us. 

If a church group is teaching it is alright for the man to marry a divorced woman, DO NOT BE DECEIVED ... Hold fast to that which Jesus said ... This change from scripture is antichrist working in the churches.

Mt. 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.  

*****

All scripture is inspired by God ... and is profitable that we can re-prove our doctrine ... II Tim 3

 Are you really buying that doctrine in churches which says God's loves you and wants you to be happy regardless of what you do on this earth?

JESUS went to the cross so the scripture could be fulfilled. 

Mt. 26:51-54 ... And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and HE shall presently give ME more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

*****

What the apostle Paul told us by the inspiration of God is the following ...

I Cor. 6 ...  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

*****

When God revealed HIMSELF to us didn't we turn away from those sins under which we were living?  We were changed.  We became "dead to sin" and alive to God.  We now wanted to serve God, not sin.

And when the woman was taken in adultery, what did Jesus say to her?

Jn. 8:11  "Go, and sin no more."

*****

No one can continue to live in sin and inherit the kingdom of God.

Do not be guilty of going along with the sin of the churches today nor with the sins of other people.

You will never bring anyone to God by approving sin.

By exposing sin, we learn righteousness.  Laws are made for the lawless that they might see their sins and turn away from such sins and turn to God and HIS righteousness.

*****

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:

A meeting was going on.  A man was speaking to a room filled with people.  I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said:  "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."

The first man resumed speaking.

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole.  A gas was coming out of the speaker.  I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people.  It was coming directly toward us!

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!

I looked at the man seated next to me.  He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group.  But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive.  He was already dead!

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.

*****

God was showing me the anarchy that was already going on in our church groups

  

*7/8 ... Follow God With Them Who Call on God Out of a Pure Heart

II Cor. 6 ... Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 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. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

*****

I Jn. 1 ...  God is light, and in HIM is no darkness at all.

*****

Those having a "pure" heart toward God are those who walk in HIS light with no pollution of darkness of this world.

Pure means:

-  not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material
-  wholesome and untainted by immorality
-  perfectly in tune and with a clear tone 
-  nothing else added

Having the pure word that comes from God.

When a person who says he is Christian refuses to be ruled by the power of the Word of God as many do, the apostle Paul tells us to depart from them.

II Tim. 3:5 ... Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

*****

Few will find the way of life, says Jesus.  Mt. 7

We cannot follow light with darkness.

When I was born again, 1975, my best friend and her husband attended a non-denominational church which taught tongues were of the devil.

But I saw the following scripture:

Paul said ... I Cor. 14:39 ...Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.  

I left that church immediately.  I showed this scripture to my best friend and she also left that church group.

The scripture has power to rule over me.

By this we show we are of God.  By this also those who deny the power of the scripture to rule show they are antichrist and they deny Jesus, the Word of God.

Depart from them.

*****

After I was born again, I took Bible and read the following scripture to my mother (non-Christian) who enjoyed horoscopes. 

Deut. 18 ... When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

After reading this, my mother said ... "Then I guess we'd better not do that anymore." 

I'm sure my mother was born again when she submitted to the power of the scripture to rule over her.

*****

We cannot follow God with a person who says, "Jesus is Lord", but who denies the instruction given by the Holy Scriptures, which are JESUS, the Word of God.

It just won't work.  We will needlessly frustrate ourselves and we are in danger that we will be swept away with them.

Titus 3 ... A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. 

II Thess. 2 ... 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.

*****

Just walk away from darkness when you see darkness.

We who are light cannot follow with darkness.

Another example:  In 1985, a contractor in Clovis, NM (USA), who was also a deacon in a Baptist Church tried to get me to have sex with him.

Immediately, I took Bible and read aloud to him the following scripture ...

I Cor. 6 ...  Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by HIS own power.
 
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. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
 
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 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?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

I learned later that this evil man had also tried to get other women in the church to have sex with him.

It is exceedingly terrible when men who are leaders in the church do such evils.  

We must stand up against evil and refuse to participate when evil doers come across our path. 

The apostle Paul says ... 

I Cor. 5 ... But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. 

Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

 

*7/9 ... Faith

Faith is believing you have heard a word from God and acting upon that word you believe you have heard from God.

Heb. 11:7 ... By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

*****

8-10  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

*****

At one point in my life, I played bridge.  I wanted to stop.  My bridge partner said, "It would be fine for you to stop bridge if you had something else you were going to."  (this way is opposite to faith)


When I did leave bridge, I just went home and waited.  I didn't try to go anywhere else for God had put into my heart it would be futile.  I just waited.  It was about 7 months later when God gave me a dream about a blog ... and I knew then to start a blog and begin writing exhortations for the church.  

*****

Faith can come upon us when we are reading the Bible.  It is as if a scripture just jumps out at us and we can't read past that scripture.  If we try to go on reading, we keep being pulled back to that verse.  That is God getting our attention on something we need for that specific day.

Faith is always based on hearing first from God.

*7/10 ... Evil Often Tries to "Creep" In

Sometimes evil (unbelief in God) is so subtil ... just as the serpent in Genesis 3 was described as "subtil" when he carried an idea to the woman Eve.

The purpose of devils and antichrist is to take us opposite from God... to get us to add to something God has said ... or to get us to take away from something God has said ... or to cause us not to believe what God has said.

Paul spoke of evil creeping in ...

II Tim. 3:5-6 ... Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

*****

For us, often when evil tries to "creep into our thoughts", the Holy Spirit will counter and fight the evil by bringing the truth to our mind.

And as we renew our mind to the word of God, often we uproot evil that has crept into our thinking.

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.  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.

*****

I Peter 5:7-11 ... Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.
 
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto HIS eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.  To HIM be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 

*****

Vain imaginations are often seeds planted in us from things spoken by other people.

At mailbox, I saw one of my neighbors and she came to me to "chat".

She noticed the man who lives directly across was building a fence which extended to the edge of my house.  She mentioned maybe he was putting a dog run in that location.

I am an animal lover.

But later that day, I began to be troubled.  That "dog run" would allow dogs to come within about 8 feet of the room where I do all my work.  DOGS BARK!

I began fervently praying.  And heard nothing at all from God.  I continued crying out since I continued to be troubled.

Later that day, I began to think about this and wondered how I came to think there might be a dog run.  I realized the other neighbor simply said "maybe" this was going to be a dog run. (I don't even know if the man who was building the fence has a dog.  I've never seen a dog in that area, nor heard one.)

After the fence was finished it was obvious that it was not going to confine anything.  I suspect he built the fence to block the noise or the vision of cars that travel on the street adjacent to us.

Jonah 2:8 ... They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

*****

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:

Destruction was everywhere.

A meeting was going on.  A man was speaking to a room filled with people.  I went in and began to listen.

A second man rushed in and said:  "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."

The first man resumed speaking.

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole.  A gas was coming out of the speaker.  I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people.  It was coming directly toward us!

The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!

I looked at the man seated next to me.  He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group.  But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive.  He was already dead!

I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.

As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.

*****

God was showing me the anarchy that was already going on in our church groups

*7/11 ... What Denomination Are You?

I Cor. 3 ...  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?
 
(While one says, "I'm Baptist" and another says, "I'm Methodist", are ye not carnal?)

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?  I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

*****

There is one body of Christ, one Spirit, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism.

Jn. 4 ...  The woman saith unto him (to Jesus), Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe Me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship HIM.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.

*****
 

When they come to you asking, "Where do you go to church?"  

They are either trying to trick you to condemn you or they are desiring to glory in your flesh.

Either way, the question shows that person to be very carnal, not spiritual.

It is usually divisive ... unless you happen to attend the same church group as the person asking the question ... He is trying to evaluate you, whether you are of God, but he does this by fleshly means and not by the Spirit of God.

He is saying, "If you are of God, prove yourself ..."

(He fails to see the proof is in the work and in that Spirit that is in us, but he, likely having not the Spirit in him, cannot see the Spirit that is in us.  He wants to prove by fleshly ways ... where do you go to church ... by what authority do you speak ... what man commissioned you ... just like the Pharisees who came to question Jesus. But what he shows by asking the question is he is carnal.)

***** 

It is also exactly the same as those who mocked Jesus when HE was on the cross ...

Matt 27 ...  And they that passed by reviled HIM, wagging their heads,  And saying, THOU that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save THYSELF.  If THOU be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Likewise also the chief priests mocking HIM, with the scribes and elders, said, HE saved others; HIMSELF HE cannot save. If HE be the King of Israel, let HIM now come down from the cross, and we will believe HIM.

*****

Our works in God, our countenance in God, the Spirit that is in us shows who we are ... the evil one is "daring" us to "prove it". 

When this happens to us, we commit ourselves to God who judges justly.

Heb. 12:3 ... For consider HIM that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 

And just walk away from that questioning person.
