Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In the New Covenant, God says HE will put HIS laws directly into the hearts of "Israel"...into the hearts of "the promised"...into the hearts of the elect of God.
The elect of God are taught by God, while the church of man are taught by flesh and blood, by humans.
***
Hebrews 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 (who are of Israel, the promise) shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

The "seed" came through Abraham by the promised son, Isaac.
Romans 9:6-8 For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
***
There is a called of God, an elect of God. Those are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit of God.
Ephesians 1:3-14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as HE hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS grace; Wherein HE hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

Having made known unto us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS good pleasure which HE hath purposed in Himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times HE might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in HIM: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of HIM who worketh all things after the counsel of HIS own will:
That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.

Hebrews 10:16-17 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

With Jesus came the New Covenant. Now we enter into things of God by Jesus' blood which paid for our sins.
Now God plants HIS laws into our hearts.
Therefore the apostle John said:
I John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.
***
The Holy Spirit of God is given to each believer to live in each believer. (Ephesians 1)
God plants in our hearts HIS Word and brings HIS Word to light by HIS Spirit who lives in us.
We believe HIS Word and know HIS Word because God has already given us an understanding so we recognize HIS truth by that which God has put in us.
When others speak truth, we recognize that truth because God has already put HIS truth inside us by HIS Spirit which dwells in us.
We "abide" in that which God has shown us, living in that truth given us by God.
(Some join a church group but do not have the Spirit of God in them. They join by the will of man, by the flesh, but they are not born again of the Spirit.)
Those born of the Spirit of God, by the will of God, are the church.
God reveals things of God to them by HIS Spirit that dwells in them.
I Corinthians 2:12-14 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Paul says:
II Timothy 1:12 I know whom I have believed
Each of us who have heard from God, know WHOM we have believed. We know it was God who revealed this truth to us. We know it was God and not flesh and blood WHO revealed these truths to us.
Can anyone or anything convince us otherwise?
Indeed we are now a "peculiar" people ... a people who have heard from God and are persuaded of the truth by God!
I Peter 2
v. 1-2 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
v. 9 ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of HIM who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light;
We praise God by our lives ... by living the WORD given unto us by God.
This causes us to be very different from the people of this world who seek their own desires, seeing this world only.
God has planted HIS truth in us, causing us to seek another way and to go another way... becoming very peculiar to people of this world who seek their own way.
Often the people of this world hate us, as they hated Jesus and hate the Word. They hate us because we are different. We are not like the people of the world. We are chosen by God.
Often the people of this world hate us, as they hated Jesus and hate the Word. They hate us because we are different. We are not like the people of the world. We are chosen by God.
We are different because God has caused us to be different.

It is the same blessing that Jesus spoke of in the following scripture.
Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked HIS disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (the Word revealed by God) I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
When another comes with the Spirit of God, we recognize him because we have the same Spirit in us.
We are taught by God and not by man so we will not fail.
Therefore we recognize truth when we hear truth. And we are uncomfortable with other words spoken by man when those words are not truth.
John 10:4-5 The sheep follow HIM: for they know HIS voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (the Word revealed by God) I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The "rock" is that Word revealed by God to the individual.
They did not learn it by man but by God HIMSELF.
God planted the truth in their hearts ... the new covenant. Now they are born again by the Spirit of God as Jesus was born in the flesh by the Spirit of God. Now they can "see" spiritual things which the world cannot see.

Hold fast to "that Word."
Asking yourself, "What has God told me?"
When another comes with the Spirit of God, we recognize him because we have the same Spirit in us.
