Prospering

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

II Kings 18:7 ... And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth:

The key to this prosperity is as follows.

God is leading him so far as where to go, when to go, what to do.  Therefore he follows the Spirit of God and the "Lord is with him" and because of this he prospers wherever he goes.

So many today in church circles seek prosperity and fail to find it.

The key always is hearing from Spirit of God and following him.

You can set up a church and fail to prosper.  You can give to the poor and fail to prosper.  You can end up a beggar because of your good works which you find you cannot pay for.

But if the work is truly authored by the Spirit of God and not by your own ideas which seem good, then you will prosper when you follow the word given you by the Spirit of God.  And you will prosper wherever you go because you will not go unless you are persuaded God has authored the going.

I have so many invitations to go to foreign countries and help train young ministers.  I would love to do that.  But I believe God has shown me to stay where I am in Lubbock and write these messages.  So that is what I do.  In all things, you must be led by the Spirit of God and not by your own ideas and not by the good works and not by other men.  Only the Spirit of God must lead us.  And we remain still until we are persuaded God has shown us something by His Spirit.  And neither do we write these messages unless we are stirred up by the Spirit of God for it is the power of God in the work.

Therefore we will prosper wherever we go because God leads us by His Spirit we won't go unless the Spirit leads us to go.
