Devil comes to steal The Word which we have heard from God

(Chapter 3:  Book, Spiritual Warfare, coming July or August, 2019, on Amazon)

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Hebrews 2:1-4    Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.  For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him; 

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to HIS own will?

 
*** 

God speaks to us through dreams, concepts and words brought to mind by the Holy Spirit and through scripture.

The Word of God is as much "The Word of God" when given by a dream or concept as it is through the Holy Bible.

If that Word comes to pass, it was a Word from God and it is holy.

***

To hold onto that Word given in a dream, concept, vision or scripture, we need to build a deep root system for that Word by keeping it before us day and night.

Joshua 1:8    This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

***

What I have begun doing is sending myself an email telling the dream, vision, concept, or scripture so I can think on it throughout the day and evening.  I've been doing this with scripture for a long time.  But now I have added dreams and concepts, for a season, to help guide my way and straighten my thoughts, for I have a tendency to think well of a person even when God shows me something else about those people.

Dream:  I opened my front door and was shocked to find piles of garbage outside my door and all the way down the front of my house.  I believe God was showing me the accusations made against me at that time by two church women were "garbage".  (June, 2019)

Concept:  When she comes to you expressing great shame over that which she did, pay attention. (June, 2019)

Concept:  When she comes saying she did something "because of a specific scripture", pay attention to what she says.  (2019) 

Word from Holy Spirit:  "You can do almost anything, if you are willing to be embarrassed in front of everyone."  (July 4, 2019)

Mark 4:14-21    The sower soweth the word.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.


And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

And HE said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

***

Good ground ...
Proverbs 4:23-27    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Put away from thee a froward (stubbornly unruly) mouth, and perverse (twisted, confused) lips put far from thee.

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.  (Pay attention to what God says about the issue.)

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Recently I was re-writing an account of something that happened to me in the 1970's.

Since I was a new Christian at that time, I decided to go my pastor to review before him a situation and to tell him the direction I planned to take.

Pastor said to me, "Joan ... I preceive that you have faith to do this."

Almost immediately, my lawyer came to me and said, "Joan ... you can't do this.  You have no idea how evil these courts are."

I did what I felt God showed me to do and that which pastor confirmed, rejecting the lawyer's words on the issue.

It worked out perfectly for me, and for everyone around the situation.

I was basing my decisions on the following which had been called to my attention by the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 54:17    No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the Lord.

***

God gives the Word ... and we, who hear the Word, work to keep that Word from being stolen from us.
