Book: Overcoming Through God
Chapter 13
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
I used to greatly fret over the unrighteousness I see on this earth.
Then God showed me the following.
II Peter 3:13 we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
That righteousness we so desire will be in the "new heaven and new earth".
***
I still hate the evil of this world, but now I live in the joy of the Word which frees me and separates me from that evil.
And I know God will judge both the evil and the good. Everything will be set right by God one way or another according to HIS purpose.
***
For me ...
Live in peace.
Live in joy through the Word God has given.

A church going woman visited me recently.
God did not have me speak anything spiritual to her.
She is constantly troubled because of what she sees people do. But she chooses to associate with those people. And they trouble her.
I try not to do that. I don't want to go through problems needlessly, when I can not help correct the problem.
God has brought me to a place of great peace and joy as I have followed Him, what HE says, The Word.

The Catholic church people who are so upset right now have every right to be upset because of the child abuse coming from the priests in the Catholic church. This is a terrible thing.
Some will likely see all they can do about it is to come out of that church group and remove their families from that church group, for no matter what the leaders might say, the structure itself of that church group is the problem because it is not set up by the Bible and therefore this sets the stage for the perverts in the ministry.
There are many rules in the Catholic church which are opposite from that which we read in the Bible.
The rule where their ministers cannot marry is doomed to failure for that is not God's rule.
The apostle Peter in the Bible was married and had children.
Matthew 8:14-15 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And HE touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
Another proof in Bible of Peter being married.
Peter said he was an apostle & elder.
I Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder.
The qualification for elder is as follows:
Titus 1:6-7 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop (elder) must be blameless, as the steward of God;
Elder and bishop are same thing in Bible. Requirement was to be married and have faithful children. A man who did not have children, and one wife, could not be an elder/bishop, according to Bible.
I Timothy 3:2-7 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
***
To marry is normal for most men.
We even see the following instruction in the Bible:
I Corinthians 7:2-4 to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
***
For a church to set up rules opposite to the Bible is to court disaster.
For a church to be set up where their ministers cannot marry is a natural attraction for those men who are sexually perverted.
Fornication and adultery take place among many ministers in the protestant churches but I don't think I've ever heard of child abuse in a protestant church, although it probably has happened.
Antichrist is also working in protestant church groups as doctrines are changed from the Bible. (Neither could we sit in those groups in peace.)
These are problems of the end times as we draw nearer to the return of Jesus.
Jesus warned us about this:
Matthew 24:12-13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure (in the Word of God and in faith in God, The Word) unto the end, the same shall be saved.
***
The church groups will crumble, the ministers will crumble, the Word of God will never fail.
We just have to fix our faith on the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, and hold fast to The Word from God.
If we follow traditions of the church group, we will fall with them.
But it is the Word of the Lord, The Word of God, that endures forever.
To try to sit among them when their way is not set up by the Bible will not work. To stay there will only trouble us and we will never be able to get them to go in the way of the Bible.
All we can do is come out from them and live in peace and try to structure our lives by the Word God brings to us by HIS Spirit.
It would seem to us that God would want us to go to church. But when that church group fails to do scripture and goes another way, it is antichrist.
We can't stay there when their way is opposite from specific scripture.
It
will get increasingly terrible toward the end, especially in the
churches as they fall away from scripture and set up other ways.
This is ordained to happened before the return of Jesus.
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
***
The church members who refuse the love of the truth of the scriptures and delight in the doctrines that are being set up in the apostate churches will have a very fearful end when Jesus returns.
II Thessalonians 2:7-12 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
