Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In the Old Testament the people received salvation through the Law of Moses, through works.
In the New Covenant, forgiveness of sins came through faith in Jesus' works.
Paul said:
Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Jesus) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by HIM all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
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 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.
***
God refuses to remember our sins ... so why should we who believe in the blood of Jesus remember our sins of past over and over after we are born again?
After we are born again we are given a new spirit to dwell in us, The Holy Spirit of Jesus.
The Bible explains:
II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
We are continually recreated in the image of Christ as portions of the Word of God are illuminated to us and we do those scriptures and follow Jesus, The Word, through those instructions.
As we obey the Holy Word of God in the issues of this life, we show a reverential fear of God.
We go forth continually correcting ourselves as we deal with others. We know the will of God in the matter at hand by the Spirit of Jesus who lives in us and guides us and teaches us.
The continual process is allowing the word brought by the Spirit of God to rule over that which we choose to do on this present earth.
We walk in the light of that Word.
Thus we read the following:
I John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ HIS Son cleanseth us from all sin.
***
But some who say "Jesus is Lord" do not walk in the light of the word.
When this is the case, we do not have fellowship with them for they separate themselves from the church as they walk in bitterness and unforgiveness or other sins, for to do such things is to walk in darkness, turning from the word.
And they can't see their own sin but become blind to their own sin as they depart from the instruction of the scripture and the Holy Spirit and follow another spirit.
God shows us the truth of their acts.
We walk with those persons who show faith through their fear of the Lord, which creates in themselves an obedience to God.
***
***
We might show the word of God to the disobedient church people, but then after they reject the Word of God, we have to leave them alone, considering them as an "heretic."
Titus 3:10 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
(Heretick: One who refuses to submit himself to the power of truth, rejecting God and the Holy Scriptures on the matter at hand.)
Such a person often walks in a strong delusion and that delusion might be from God. If so, we can't do anything about it.
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:
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.
When they cannot see and refuse to see and continue to live in a lie, all we can do is walk away and work to live in the light of the Word. We cannot walk in light with those who refuse light. And I pray for God to cut such a person out of my heart so I don't wallow in their sin and fret over them. For it only destroys me.
***
There is a "willful" sin, after the knowledge of the truth.
We are warned about this as follows:
Hebrews 10:22-31 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
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:
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.

There is a woman who was in our church group. She troubled me for 40+ years. When I was in the hospital after a fall in December, 2018, I had been given drugs to control pain after surgery. I opened my eyes and saw this woman standing at the foot of my hospital bed. She stood there looking at me and she turned her back to me and walked through the wall, vanishing!
I thought this was a drug induced vision ... until the following happened a few days later.
This woman came to my room and told me she didn't care about anything anymore. She said she no longer cared about Bible or blog. I said, "But what will happen to you if you go that way?"
She replied, "I don't want to talk with you about this."
I am a minister of Jesus Christ. If a person doesn't want to talk with me about spiritual things, then there is nothing more to say.
I said, "Well then ... bye."
She got up and went into the bath room located in my hospital room.
A nurse's aide came into the room at that time and I called out and asked Sandra not to leave until the aide was gone.
But Sandra snuck out and disappeared.
That is last time I saw her.

The vision I had about Sandra disappearing was not from the pain medication I was taking at that time, but the vision was from God showing me what was going to happen.
John 16:13 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.
***
Six months later, another woman from our little church group railed out against me with bitter, vehement accusations of things from decades past.
I had no memory at all of saying these things to her, as she reported them.
So I asked God to show me the truth about this.
God gave me a dream. I opened the front door to my house and was shocked to see someone had dumped garbage all the way down the front of my house.
I took this to mean this woman from our church group dumped "garbage" at my house.
***
I had called Barbara and she became so vehement in accusing me of decades of wrong dealing with her that she hung up on the phone call.
I called her back, wanting, if possible, to restore unity of the Spirit and bring a bond of peace between us.

I called her back, wanting, if possible, to restore unity of the Spirit and bring a bond of peace between us.
But even after I called back, Barbara broke into an angerly, vehement accusation against me.
The second phone call with her became so bad, at one point I called to Pam Padgett, from our church group, to witness and to mediate. (I live now in Pam's house.)
Although Barbara knew Pam was listening on the extension, and Pam even spoke from time to time, Barbara railed out again against me with Pam as a witness.
***
Matthew 18:15-17 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

It was unbelievable to me that this could happen from a church person who had been with us for more than 40-years.
After the phone call, God brought the following to my attention, showing us what to do with Barbara.
I Corinthians 5:11; 13 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat ... Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Railer is defined as: one who speaks in a bitter, vehement way against
(So Pam and I put Barbara away from us.)
***
But I have also asked Barbara to forgive me for those things she said I said ... I have no memory still of saying those things for which I was accused.
I do know I was trying to do the following with Barbara:
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
I could see in Barbara spiritual gifts, likely word of wisdom and word of knowledge.
I knew when she read emails and blog she would likely have impressions which would be of God.
I did all I could do to encourage her to share those messages.
Certainly there were times I was angry with her because she held back. But Jesus was angry with the money changers in the temple. Jesus deliberately made a whip to use on them and then HE used that whip.
If you correct a child once, you are likely milder with that child than you will be upon the child repeating the same offense.

We had to put Barbara away from us for "railing" ... speaking criticisms with bitterness and vehemence. (I Corinthians 5:11;13) If she will hear this message and repent, she can be restored to us.
If we cannot fellowship, then we deny that Holy Spirit that is in each of us. For God says:
I John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
***
These times today are very dangerous, and devils are rampant, and will destroy all who will allow them to do so, inside the church itself.
Take this witness as a warning as to the danger and also the need to keep ourselves by prayer and truth of God and to continually keep our own flesh, our tongue, crucified, not allowing it to speak evil, and also to forgive and keep our heart continually, not allowing offenses against another to pile up through decades, for such will eventually bear evil fruit if we allow the seed to germinate inside us. And the evil will destroy us.
It is an exceedingly dangerous time.
Revelation 12:12 Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
***
But we have power to shut the door on devils through forgiveness and cleansing by turning to God with each offense and with each situation of this life.
Let nothing slip.
Do the following continually.
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Witness from Pam Padgett (concerning phone conversation with Barbara Preston)
6-5-2019
On the telephone yesterday, I heard Barbara Preston strongly express bitterness and resentment for things she claims Joan had said years ago. Barbara has been harboring these things in her heart.
As she started telling something she said Joan had done years ago, it was very confusing.
It was so obvious that devils are involved in all of this, bringing thoughts to Barbara that she is believing and acting on.
At one point I kept having the thought that Barbara needs to take each thing she thinks Joan has done against her to God, laying it out before God, letting HIM sort through each matter.
I told this to her, and asked her if she would do this, but she didn't respond.
Toward the end of the conversation Joan again encouraged Barbara to follow this counsel, but, again, there was no response from her.
(JB ...Of course God would have to give her a good heart and soften her heart to do this.)
The railing accusations, bitterness, and resentment she brought forth against Joan were terrible.
She never showed any shame for the evil she brought forth.
She showed herself to be a railer and wicked, just as we are told in 1 Corinthians 5:11-13.
I Corinthians 5:11;13 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat ...
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Vision of two women in our church group:
Several years ago, I had a vision of a barbell, the type with round weights on each end, like weight lifters sometimes use.
This barbell had equal weights on each end and I realize these 2 weights were two women who were in our church group: Sandra Chupik and Barbara Preston
They had been in our church group since 1980, almost 40 years. Through the years I had to deal multiple times with each of these two women and was often grieved over them.
Sandra left our group in December 2018.
Six months later, Barbara showed her vehemence against me and therefore had to be put out from us according to I Corinthians 5:11;13.
***

I am very happy to report that both Sandra and Barbara have been restored to us as of today.
