Book: Exhortations For The Church
Vol. 8, Chapter 9
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
When I was in elementary school, I overheard my mother speaking with my aunt concerning my dad's first wife... I was shocked.
I didn't know my dad had a "first" wife. And I was also devastated. My childish reaction was I didn't want to see my dad again because I knew divorce and remarriage was against God.

How did I know this? I had never heard any human say this. I didn't read the Bible at that time. I didn't attend any church at that time. So how did I know this?
I believe it is what we see in God's description of the New Covenant.
Heb. 8:10-12 ... For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Later, when I was about 15, I went forward and was baptized at church.
But I was not born again at that time. I was baptized because I didn't want to go to hell and my understanding at that time was if I did this I wouldn't go to hell. (Later when I was 37, God spoke to me by HIS Spirit and I was then born again, born of HIS Spirit.)
At that church group, there was a young man who pursued me. At one point, he tried to get me to have sex with him. I refused because it would be wrong ... God had put this into my heart.
Humans have a mind and they think they learn everything of themselves and they glory in what they can do.
They forget God.
