Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
When we speak the Word that came down from heaven to us, often church people will be offended and depart from us.
Are we willing to recognize the truth of the following scripture?
I John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
When we started this blog, in 2012, I had a dream about the blog.
In one part of this dream, there was a woman who came in and looked and stood there for awhile and then turned and walked away.
We present what we have heard from God and it intrigues some for awhile. But then they walk away. This shows us they were not really "of us".
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
If they depart, let them depart. This happens so it can be manifest to us that they were not really of us.
I've had people who stayed in our church group for 40 years, only to depart. And during those years there was trouble because of them and often they rebelled in their hearts during those years over the word I spoke from above. Eventually they left.
When they leave us, we must be willing to believe they left so it would become visible to us that they were not really of us. This is mercy of God to those of us who can enter into the truth of this word.
I John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
