Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Do you know the season in which we are now living?
We are not the early church where the message of Jesus being the Christ was new.
We are the end-time church where apostasy has come into our church groups and scriptures have been removed and the church has fallen away from scriptures once held sacred.
We are the individuals witnessing this happening.
The message now is very different from the early church message.
We have moved from spring to winter.
It would be very foolish to continue to dress ourselves in summer clothing when snow is upon the horizon.
Where we live now is as follows:
II Timothy 3:1-5 (This was to happen inside the church groups and is happening today in the church groups who have set aside portions of scripture. For this is the apostasy in the church where we live today.)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (inside the church itself)
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
*****
These men have "an appearance of godliness" but they deny the power of the holy scripture to rule over them as they cast aside portions of scripture and fall away from some scriptures and cause those around them who would hear them to fall away from scripture and accept and approve evil doers into the church itself.
Also this is the mark of the beast ... to fall away from scripture and to seek the approval of man... the "number" of a man, man's approval.
This is a time of warning for us concerning churches. You cannot blindly sit there approving the falling away from portions of scripture. You must not do this!
Paul said in the end time, they will be "ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." II Timothy 3:7
And of this time, in the churches, Paul says: "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." II Timothy 3:13
This is not the happy time of the NT church where we gather together and jump up and down in glee as did the early church. Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Now they try to be "one accord" but not in pursuit of upholding the scripture rather in effort to make everyone feel approved regardless of the sin.
The enemy is within now, not without. (And you will find that you, as a believer in the Word of God, are an exception in the group. Most are not believers in today's churches for they do not hold to scripture but rather explain scripture away. They joyfully sing songs, but they are not followers of the Word.)
Dress for winter. And accept the truth.
That which has been troubling you concerning the church is real. It is antichrist in the church ... opposite from the way of God ... it is the end-time apostasy in the church... the time of the "falling away" where churches fall away from scripture.
The scripture told us this would happen: Read II Thessalonians 2 in both KJV & NASB.
(NASB)
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. (HE was taken out of the way by removal of portions of scripture.) Then that lawless one will be revealed
When Paul wrote this scripture 2000 years ago, antichrist was already trying to get into the church groups with his contrary doctrine. Paul knew in the last days, antichrist would get into the church and he was warning us of this time.
Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
This time is NOW.

In 2017, I changed hair dressers. The new woman sends her daughter to a church school. She is married and seems "decent".
I wanted to take her one of my books but I had a "check" about doing this and decided to hear more of her words before I did this.
When I got to my appointment with her, I found she had dyed her hair red.
She began talking of all types of secular desires. Nothing at all spiritual came from her mouth.
Then she told of how she really had a desire toward Halloween. (That really surprised me because we are several weeks past Halloween and are now deeply into the Christmas season.)
As I listened, I believe she revealed herself.
Sometimes we make the mistake of joyfully speaking of things of God and they say nothing as we talk and we think they are like us because of what we are saying.
We must learn to listen to them for they will reveal themselves to us by what they are saying.
We cannot imprint ourselves onto their image.
We have to be willing to see them as they really are.
It is a time of danger and warning.
