Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
God hates sin in the church ... even more than I hate sin in the church.
Recently I wrote about trying to attend a small Assembly of God church and seeing hanging on the wall inside their building a photo of a long haired man representing Jesus. After the service I told the pastor he should take that photo down. That is not a photo of Jesus. There are no photos of Jesus for there were no cameras in the days of Jesus. That is a photo of a man who is pictured as Jesus. It is in fact a graven image ... this is what God said to me as I was writing this ... "graven image" ...
When I looked up graven image in Bible, there were many scriptures concerning graven image. Some of which are as follows. These show how God views graven images and how much God hates graven images. And as I wrote this I saw immediately what joy we bring to God and to the angels in heaven when we on earth destroy a graven image.
Ex. 20 ... 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God
Lev. 26 ... 1Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Deut. 4 ... 16Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 19And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deut. 5 ... 8Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Moses was meeting with God and God said to Moses: Ex. 32 ... Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Moses returned to where the people were ...Ex. 32 ... 15And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 19And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Later, through hundreds of years even to this day, religious people have set up various types of graven images in their churches. These they worship before God and the anger of God overflows because of this false worship which they are calling "worshiping God". My anger is great but I know God's anger is far greater than my anger.
One of the greatest "graven images" in the churches today set up by fleshly men is the taking of grape juice and crackers and calling it "The Lord's Supper" and teaching the congregations to do such. The Lord's supper has nothing to do with crackers and grape juice. This is fleshly foolishness in the churches. The Lord's supper is the Word of God and the correctly partaking of the Word of God. What an horrible abomination it is to relate crackers and grape juice to communion with God and Jesus. Communion with Jesus is partaking of the Word of God. We eat the flesh of Jesus when we partake of the Word of God. The Word of God is HIS flesh. The Word of God is HIS blood. How terribly angry God must be over substituting crackers and grape juice for HIS Word and daring to call such communion with HIM.
While the anger is great with God and with the angels and in heaven over such things, I know we bring rejoicing to God and the angels in heaven each time we, who are really of God, attack such fleshly idols set up in the churches.
I know this because of the following:
Deut. 7 ... 5But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy
their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves,
and burn their graven images with fire. 6For thou art an holy people
unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special
people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the
earth.
Deut. 7 ... 25The graven images
of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver
or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared
therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 26Neither shalt
thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing
like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor
it; for it is a cursed thing.
Deut. 12
... 3And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and
burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of
their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. 4Ye shall
not do so unto the LORD your God.

Kings 17 ... 38And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not
forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 39But the LORD your God ye
shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your
enemies. 40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 41So these nations feared the LORD,
and served their graven images, both their children, and their
children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

Chron. 34 ... 7And when he had broken down the altars and the groves,
and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols
throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
Psa. 78 ... 58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
Psa. 97 ... 7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
Isa. 30 ... 22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven
images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou
shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get
thee hence.
Isa. 42 ... 8I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Jere. 8 ... Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
Jere. 50 ... 38A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be
dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon
their idols.
Jere. 51 ... 52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land
the wounded shall groan.
Hosea 11 ... 2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Micah 1 ... 7And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to
pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all
the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire
of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Micah 5 ... 13Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy
standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship
the work of thine hands. 14And I will pluck up thy groves out of the
midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 15And I will execute
vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not
heard.
How dare any of you calling yourselves Christian partake of any of the abominations in the churches set up by fleshly men?
Instead, we who are of God tear down these graven images which are in the church today. We hammer against them and grind them to power before their eyes. And we may even do as Moses did and make them eat the dust of the image. And as we do this God rejoices and there is rejoicing in heaven for if we don't tear these things down, who will?
Each time I write about such, the graven image is hit again with an axe. Each time you refuse to participate in honoring the graven image the image is broken again.
And when we take such action, there is great rejoicing in heaven with God and HIS angels.
Pam Padgett refused to honor the woman at church who was divorced and was planning to remarry. She refused to honor the man at church who was marrying this divorced woman. She even went to the woman who was to be bridesmaid and tried to turn her from the abomination of the wedding which was being sanctioned at church where divorced people were remarrying and committing adultery. Please read: When the single's class at church tried to run away from me
I know God greatly rejoices when we attack graven images in the church and even in the world. And we cause rejoicing in heaven each time we swing a sledge hammer at their idols and break up their idols with repeated words against their idols.
Great is the rejoicing of God and the angels over these words we are speaking on this earth.
Judges 6 ... concerning Gideon
25And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it: 26And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
27Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
28And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built. 29And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 30Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. 31And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. 32Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
