Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In approximately 1979, I went with a friend to a church in the Dallas metroplex. This church met in an old warehouse. Approximately 200 people attended that group at the time I first went there. The pastors were Bob and Marty Tilton.
Before long, Bob was excited to go on radio. He made the statement that he planned to be bigger than Kenneth Copeland. Bob began adding radio stations all over USA.
Then Bob contracted to go on TV. (He was really excited about TV broadcasting.) He began adding TV. And Bob began getting stranger and stranger from the pulpit ... fund raising became a main focal point and he used a scripture concerning 100-fold return to "extort" money from greedy people in congregations.
Bob was becoming very big in ministry circles.
There was a woman at his church who was said to be a prophet. Her name was Ava. Her best friend was Marty Tilton, Bob's wife.
Bob invited Ava to be on his TV show. Just before they went on camera, Bob said to Ava ... "Oh, just one thing ... don't mention anything about being a prophet for that is not popular." Ava told me about this. She was devastated. I was horrified.
God gave me a judgment against Bob Tilton which was a scripture at the end of Mt. 23 ... Because Bob did this, he "killed" a prophet. Here was the judgment against Bob.
Mt. 23:38 ... Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
I recorded this judgment and sent it to Bob. I received report from Ava that Bob and Marty and some of the office staff did listen to the recording. Then they sort of danced around the tape and quoted various scriptures over the tape disclaiming the judgment against him and took scissors and cut the tape in little pieces, thinking they destroyed the message on the tape.
I was reminded of the king in the OT who tore up the parchment from a judgment message sent by a prophet and threw the pieces into the fire and burned the writing. But this did not destroy the message it only destroyed the paper. And God had that prophet write another judgment against the king with even more words on the second message.
Concerning Bob Tilton ... it wasn't too many years before he and Marty divorced. Then ABC aired an expose againt Tilton and the extortion being used to gain money from people. Then some of the church people sued Tilton. Then Tilton remarried. They divorced and she sued him. The expose is printed on Internet on Wikipedia (Internet encyclopedia) for all to see.
Bob's house was left to him desolate.
At one point Bob tore down the old warehouse where we had been meeting and he built an 8000 seat building.
Today that building has been torn down and a bowling alley sits on the spot with no evidence that a church ever gathered there.
The last I heard Bob had drifted off into churches in Florida (USA) and he was still trying to be big time with big money ... but the report is instead of $70 million a year money decreased to $2 million a year. (That is still a lot of money.) According to Wikipedia (Internet Encyclopedia, Tilton is still speaking in church groups. There are many in church group who are and will be deceived by men who say, "Jesus is Lord". Mt. 24:5
The story of Robert Tilton is yet another message showing the following scripture:
I Tim. 5:24 ... Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
... examples of "ministers" whose sins are
open beforehand ... shown to all ... There are other "ministers" whose
sins are hidden until the day of judgment and their sins "follow after"
them and will be revealed to all then.
