Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
The apostle Paul instructs:
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Phil. 2:5
Moderation would be to have control over your emotions ... to control your flesh.
It is important to remain unaffected. If humans praise us ... if humans despise us ... to remain unaffected is an example of control, of moderation. We must not get excited over praise. Nor do we get excited over hatred toward us. We remain in a neutral position, centered between praise and hatred. This is moderation.
We must learn to live this way, unaffected either way. Not pumped up by praise. Not deflated by hatred.
We must come to know that the only thing that matters in all that we do is what does God think about the issue. That centers us. That removes us from the peaks and valleys of fleshly emotion.
