First support your family

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

An evangelist wrote me yesterday.  He works at secular job and was concerned because he doesn't get to go out to people as much as he would like to do because he has to support himself at secular job.

My reply:

I'm sure you know apostle Paul worked at secular job.  He was tent-maker.  He continued to support himself all his life and did the ministry work as he could.
Just do what you can ... but first always support your family ...
We always want to do more ... and often this is how ministers get into trouble.  Some of this is driven by our own flesh and not of God.
God by HIS Spirit will reach HIS chosen.
It is by the mercy of God that we are allowed to do what we do ... But we also read this ...Romans 1 ... Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

In other words, God even preaches by HIS creation ... The sky is visible everywhere ... all men (who have natural vision) see the sky.  It testifies of God.  And the Spirit of God is not limited.  I was born again by God's Spirit speaking directly to me.  The apostle Paul was born again by God's spirit Speaking directly to Him.

So you see, it is not because we get to go to them that they are saved.  God has mercy on us and uses us from time to time but they can be saved without hearing from any man.

So relax ... do as well as you can in your secular job and when you can go out.

Love, in Christ,

Joan
