In the church: Keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In the church, I do not hesitate to bring godly correction as needed.

Each person in the church must speak the same thing by the Spirit that there be no divisions.  Therefore one must submit to another when there is godly correction and all are subject to the same Spirit and the same Lord, who is Jesus, and the same scriptures which are the word of God.

We bring one another into unity by correction and godly people will accept godly corection by the Spirit of God through the Holy Bible.

The ungodly will not accept godly correct and will leave.

I John 2:18-19   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Ephesians 4:1-6    walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

II Corinthians 6:14    Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

There is one Spirit and that one Spirit speaks one thing and that thing the Spirit speaks is truth.

When division occurs in the church there is heresy.  Someone is operating by his own ideas and not by the Holy Spirit of God.

There is one doctrine which is truth, for the Spirit of God is not divided and speaks truth for he is the Spirit of Truth.

But many speak by another spirit and not by the Spirit of truth.

Jude  vv. 11-21   Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;  How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
