Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
The apostle Paul show us how corruptions develop ... Paul says ...
Eph. 4 ... 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Young women at early ages (such as 14-17) often
follow after vain, romantic ideas of how wonderful it will be to be
married, how much honor it will bring to her if she can marry such &
such. Often these ideas are based on foolishness and if they continue
to deepen in her desires they can be extremely destructive to her and to
others and result in much depression and despondency if she
accomplishes her fleshly pursuits. She awakens to find the horrible
fact that it was all wrong! But now she is trapped in a marriage and life that she despises. (And when she fails to get the person she desires, corruption of that desire often disrupts her life for many years and turns her to an unreasonable bitterness.)
Men
and women both often lust after power, money, possessions, fame, praise
of other humans. These desires, when followed, grow and produce much
corruption and perversion.
Paul explains ...
Eph. 4 ... 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard HIM, and have been taught by HIM, as the truth is in Jesus (The Word).
And Paul tells us, to put off these fleshly lusts which are the clothing of the "old nature of man".
Eph. 4: 23 ... And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
(After God: Not your image of God but rather after those things God has taught you for these are righteousness and "true" holiness.)
If your world seems empty, it is probably because it is empty.
These
worldly things do not fulfill the humans even when we obtain them. We
are only fulfilled when we are rejoicing in things of God. Things of
God are eternal. Things of this world are temporary. That which is
temporary will vanish. That which is eternal will continue forever.
Jesus said: "MY kingdom is not of this world." (Jn. 18)
Neither is our kingdom of this world.
Like those who have gone before us, we consider we are just "strangers and pilgrims" on this earth, just passing through. (Heb. 11:13)
So
if we are trying to fulfill ourselves with another human or a job, we
are going to reach a time our life will feel very empty.
Therefore Paul tell us ...
Col.
3 ... 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with HIM in glory.
