Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
I was born again in August, 1975.
I was in "the ministry of God" full time by 1980.
While I was on radio, many came to my meetings and sent offerings and seemed to be of God.
They would stay for awhile and then drift away from me.
***
One woman found me through radio broadcasts and came among us, but she troubled me with her strange decisions. I found I was often troubled by her.
Later she was the only "church person" I knew who was living in the city where I lived.
I was growing older and had reached my 80's, but I often prayed this woman would never be in charge of me if I got to the point where I needed help.
***
On December 6, 2018, I fell and had to be taken to hospital and was scheduled for surgery.
The medical people brought me forms to sign telling who was to be responsible for medical decisions if I was unable to do such.
I said, "Pam Padgett is to be responsible for me."
(Pam had been doing the technical work for the books I wrote on Amazon and I had many occasions to witness the way Pam prayed and made decisions.)
This church woman who lived in the city where I lived was standing there when I said this where I named Pam Padgett.
This woman was very shocked!
She replied, "How can Pam be in charge? She doesn't even live here."
I replied, "I don't know how she can be, but she is. She will pray."
I had often seen this other woman fail to pray ... and I had witnessed many very questionable decisions she had made, and I often had to straighten things out when she spoke.
I had no blood relatives to take charge of me.
I certainly was not going to put a person in charge when I had witnessed strange decisions and decisions coming from her own wisdom.
***
One time, this woman called me wanting me to go with her to hunt a dining room light fixture. I agreed to meet her at the store. As I was going to the store, I prayed that we find the light fixture immediately and that we not have to go all over town hunting a light fixture.
When I walked into the store, I saw a light fixture that would work well for her house ... I didn't tell her because I wanted her to select the fixture.
She looked all over the store while I waited in a chair nearby.
Then she returned and said she didn't see anything.
I said, "That would work." (pointing to the fixture)
She looked and agreed and bought that fixture.
Afterward, I asked her if she had prayed before we met at the store.
She replied, "No ... because I knew you would."
***
After surgery on December 10, 2019, I had a vision. I saw this church woman standing at the foot of my hospital bed. She looked at me and then turned and walked through the wall, disappearing.
I thought I was having a drug induced "vision" because they had given me strong pain killers after surgery.
But approximately two weeks later, while I was in a rehabilitation hospital, this same woman came to my room and said, "I don't care about anything or anyone any more. I don't read Bible or blog any more."
I replied, "But what will happen if you go that way?"
She replied, "I don't want to discuss this with you."
(If you don't want to discuss spiritual things with me, how can you be around me?)
She disappeared from my room as I had been shown in the vision. Then I knew the vision was from God showing me what would happen.
Later this woman said she was sorry she had done that. She said she showed no mercy toward me. I told her not to be concerned at all for I felt she had tried to do something that was not of God by trying to "take care" of me.
***
Pam Padgett surfaced during that hospital time and took charge and made godly decisions and helped me during the 2 1/2 months I was in rehab hospitals. She flew several times from Colorado to the hospitals in Texas.
Then when I was released from hospital, she moved me to her home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 450 miles from the city in Texas where I had been living.
During that time, Pam even flew to Texas and got my old car to take to Colorado and got my cat and took cat with her as she drove back to Colorado Springs in my old car.
(It took Pam and two other women 3 1/2 hours to catch my cat and to get cat into the cat carrier to make that trip to Colorado! Cat was definitely not happy until I appeared at Pam's house about a month later.)
This was all of God.
God worked it all out for me and it works great because Pam prays over things and we operate in one Spirit while dwelling together, and because of this we can live in peace and not in trouble.
How can you settle for less?
How can you take the "seen" when that which you can see troubles you?
I couldn't.
