When there is repentance and restoration in church

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Lk. 15 ... What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?  9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Recently I told the story of the woman in our little church group who told of having committed adultery and abortion and how I took very strong action even to putting her away from us.

And how she was lost to us for about a week.  And then she was restored, I believe by God.

I hope each of you were rejoicing over this.  When I prayed about this I was reminded of Lk. 15.  You might want to check yourself and your feeling.  If you heard this story and weren't rejoicing maybe you died... or are too self absorbed.
