Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In 1975, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me: "Joan ... you know all those mistakes you've been making? ... Those weren't mistakes ... Those were sins." I was shocked. I had no idea until this point that I was sinning.
Then a few days after this, I was asleep and was transported into heaven. I knew I was with God, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit though I saw nothing at all. It was an experience in the Spirit. At that time, I was "merged" into the body of Jesus (made one with the Word). A few days after this, the exact same thing happened again to me.
After that I cared nothing about my business. I only cared about the Word of God.
At my retail business, I began having noontime Bible classes. I talked constantly to people about God.
My business was American Indian Arts. One day a man came in wanting to buy a Kichina doll. He said he was looking for power and there was a superstition that there was power in the Indian dolls. I took this man into my office and told him there is a power ... a great power ... but that power is not in art objects. I told him about Jesus and God.
I put writings about God in baskets at the door of my shop.
I put a fish symbol on the front door of my shop.
I put a fish symbol on my car.
The greatest thing that could ever happen to a human had happened to me. God revealed Himself to me.
I had no idea I was to be a minister. That came later. I just wanted to read the Bible and know things of God.
There was a complete change in my life.
That is what happens, change, when God reveals Himself to us by His will.
