Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
June 7, 2019, as I slept in the night ... I began pleading with God over a woman in our little church group, Barbara, who had risen up against me and railed with words against me.
I said to God, "If you do that to her, then devils will win out."
We certainly don't want devils to win out.
***
My pleading with God was exactly the same as Moses' pleading with God when God was going to kill the children of Israel.
Numbers 14:1-4 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured (complained) against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke ME? and how long will it be ere they believe ME, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13-14 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
13-14 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which HE sware unto them, therefore HE hath slain them in the wilderness.
20-24 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. Because all those men which have seen MY glory, and MY miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted ME now these ten times, and have not hearkened to MY voice;
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked ME see it:
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed ME fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
***
When we are in strife, of course we think "we" are right. If we thought ourselves to be wrong there would be no strife.
20-24 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

When we are in strife, of course we think "we" are right. If we thought ourselves to be wrong there would be no strife.
So I began asking God if I had done those things I was accused of doing by Barbara, for I didn't know. I had no recollection of these things since some of the events were decades ago.
***
Did I do this against this church person? against a person in our own church group? How could I continue working as a minister of Jesus as apostle/prophet if I said these things to Barbara. If I said these things, for which Barbara accused me, I was unfit to be a minister of Jesus or even a member of the church of Jesus of the body of Christ.
This had to be established by God in a way I could understand.
***
On June 7, 2019, God gave me a dream.
I opened the front door of my house and was very shocked. Someone had put bags of garbage all along the front of my house ...
bags of garbage and pieces of garbage had been thrown everywhere. I knew I would have to get someone who would clean up all this garbage.
Some teenaged kids went past me and I asked them if they had put all these piles of garbage at my house. They denied it.
There was a dead plant in a small plastic type container. I kicked the plant into the street but it rolled across the street and landed in my neighbor's yard. I would have to clean this up.
***
I believe most of the dream shows the accusations made against me by Barbara Preston.
God was showing me by the dream that her accusations were "garbage" ... which she leveled at my house, at me, at the way I conducted myself in the ministry of apostle/prophet.
(Barbara was in our church group for approximately 40-years.)
***
And I believe some of the "garbage" (especially the little dead plant), came from my cousin a few days earlier.
The week before this dream, my Church of Christ cousin, Jeanne, also made an attack.
Her attack was against the ministry office of apostle.
Jeanne and her husband (who is dead now), fought me for years, even accusing me of evil done before I was born again.
(I don't think either Jeanne or Charles understood the concept of being born again and having our sins removed by Jesus.)
My cousin is 96 and obviously is near her death. I wanted to get these things cleaned up before she dies.
***
Recently I was reminded of Jeanne's dad saying to me: "If you would come to Church of Christ, you could do so much."
To attend Church of Christ I would have to deny the Holy Spirit and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
When they quote Acts 2:38 they omit the part of the verse that I have placed in red.
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
***
To attend Church of Christ, I would have to deny NT apostles and prophets and the following scripture.
Ephesians 4:8; 11-12 When HE (Jesus) ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men ... And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
(Jesus set these ministries into the church after the crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus gave these ministries to today's NT church: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher.)
To go to Church of Christ group, I would have to deny Ephesians 4:8;11-12.
***
To go to Church of Christ group, I would have to deny all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, eliminating the scriptures of I Corinthians 12 and Romans 12.
I would have to eliminate what Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in John 14:26 & in John 16:13.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jn. 14:26)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Jn. 16:13)
And I would have to deny many other scriptures in the Holy Bible.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jn. 14:26)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Jn. 16:13)
And I would have to deny many other scriptures in the Holy Bible.
***
To go to Church of Christ, I would have to deny the heavenly vision given to me shortly after I was born again when I was taken into heaven and merged into the body of Christ, made one with the Word of God, God and Holy Spirit witnessing. (in 1975)
To deny the many dreams and happenings done in my life is to deny God, the calling of God, the many teachings God has given me, the Holy Spirit's work done in me, and the Words of Jesus and even the blood of Jesus.
***
To deny these things of God is to bring upon myself the following.
Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
***
So I have to go forward speaking the message I believe to be from God for the church.
In 1982, God said to me: The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ... over and over this same word came to me.
Then God called my attention to sins being committed by ministers: Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Kenneth Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Robert Tilton
In the case of Swaggart, Bakker, and Copeland, I could not get private written messages to these men, even though I was relatively well known at that time in ministry. They have people who filter their many messages from the church goers.
So I became persuaded to give these messages on my radio broadcasts. Then they got the message.
In Seattle, Washington, the radio station manager was standing outside the door of the convention center room where I was to have a meeting for the radio station audience. He was waiting for me.
When I arrived at the door to the meeting room, George said:
"Joan ... you have many good messages. Just speak those messages. If you speak these judgment messages, I don't know what is going to happen to you. We might have to put you off the air."
The Holy Spirit speaking through me said:
"George ... If I don't speak the message I believe to be from God then I don't have a message and I may as well be off the air."
(Yes ... they put me off the air at the radio station in Seattle. About 1/2 my stations left me on the air.)
***
More about messages given to me judging ministers in the early 1980's.
In the case of Robert Tilton, my own pastor at the time, I made a tape recording and sent it to Bob.
The report which I have from Bob's own office staff, who witnessed what Bob did with that tape, is as follows:
Bob, and his wife at that time, heard the tape along with some of the office staff. They then cut the tape in little pieces and marched around the waste baskets quoting scripture.
Their actions do not destroy the message, which was and is: "Bob, by your actions against Ava on your TV show when you stopped Ava from saying she is a prophet because you said to Ava, "it is not popular", kill a prophet. Therefore, your house will be left to you desolate."
After this:
* Bob and his wife divorced.
* Bob remarried another woman who said she was a minister. They divorced and she ended up suing Bob.
* Bob married a third wife.
* In each of his divorces and remarriages Bob committed adultery according to Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9.
Jesus says: Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Also according to Matthew 19:9 Jesus says: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
* Bob ended up losing his 8,000 seat church building with recording studio in Farmer's Branch, Texas, outside Dallas. (See report: Robert Tilton, Wikipedia)
The church building was torn down and youth hockey arena built on location. Today no one would know a church once met at that location.
* Bob was exposed on ABC, Prime Time Live, for solicitation of prayer requests and having those "prayer requests" forwarded to a bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the tellers at the bank removed the money from each envelop and threw the written prayer request into the garbage dumpsters outside the bank. (Wikipedia report on Robert Tilton)
* Offerings to Robert Tilton declined from 80-million-dollars per year to 2-million per year (still a lot of money) after the ABC Prime Time Live telecast aired.
* A church member sued Bob for fraud. Bob had taught the congregation a doctrine saying they would receive 100-fold return for the offerings they gave. The church member lost all the money and did not receive 100-fold return.
Here is what Bible says about 100-fold return:
Matthew 19:29 Jesus says ... And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
People who give to church are blessed by God but I don't believe a minister can rightly teach the congregation to expect to receive 100-fold for their offerings.
* Wikipedia reports that Robert Tilton sold everything he had accumulated in Florida and bought a hotel in Culver City, California. This is the last report I have seen concerning Robert Tilton.
The prophecy stating that Robert Tilton's house would be left desolate because he killed a prophet did happen ... Tilton lost his wife, his church, his ministry, his enormous offerings, and went on to a life surrounded by sin in adultery and turmoil.

Galations 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
***
Matthew 24:1-5 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Hymn: Trust & Obey

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way;
While we do His good will,
He abides in us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Chorus:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His WORD quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do;
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Matthew 24:12-13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
***
To endure, we must:
* pray continually, taking all perceived offenses and trespasses which we think to be against us to God in prayer, trusting God to settle everything and establish us in HIS truth.
* forgive those who trespass against us ... for if we do not forgive in our hearts, God will not forgive us. Matthew 6:15
* overcome all situations in a godly way and overcome all thoughts sent by devils and instigated by our own flesh and by the flesh of other humans ... we overcome by committing everything that happens to us to God and trusting God to deal with both us and them.
Jesus says: Luke 21:34-36 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

(Watch yourself that you not be swept away from the instructions given by God by HIS Spirit through the Holy Bible ... for sin and unforgiveness can destroy you and drive you into a form of madness.)
We live in exceedingly dangerous times whereby we must keep our own hearts with all watchfulness through prayer and by allowing God to establish truth as God sees truth in each issue.

Scriptures pertaining to this hymn:
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
The fear of the Lord is a deep respect for God and The Word.
When we "fear" God, we are basically afraid to go in a way opposite to God's Word for we have an inner understanding that God knows what is best and to violate what HE says is to go in a way of self destruction.
Therefore our trust is based on the awe we have for God.
And we obey God, doing what HE says to us by HIS Spirit.

In December, 2018, at the age of 81, I fell at my house.
As the ambulance people were removing me and we reached the front door, I heard the following word in the form of a thought that came to my mind: "You'll never see this house again."
I believed that thought was from God.
Therefore I believed there would be another way for me to go if I survived the accident.
I put my house up for sale even as I was awaiting surgery.
A church person said to me, "I don't see how you can do that." (I don't think she understood faith in God.)
I explained to her that when you believe you have heard from God and there is a way to go, you simply obey ... no hesitation.
I never looked back and I never saw that house again.
I did not know where I would go when I put the house up for sale but I knew God would work it out for me and reveal it to me and God did within a few weeks. A woman in our little church group took me (and my cat) into her house to live in Colorado. She is a very godly woman and prays over everything! It is a great joy for me to live in a house with such a person.
My life was made better after my accident, not worse.
God had a plan for me and I knew HIS plan was all that mattered.
