Vol. 1, Chapter 14
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
The apostle Paul warned us ...
I Timothy 4:1 ... Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
*****
Ideas
and attractions will come to try to lead you to go a way that is not of
God. It may seem to be of God but when authored by a "seducing spirit"
it is not of God.
Even
entire church groups will depart from certain scriptures, explaining
away scripture in order to approve humans who attend their church. This
is the apostasy in the church as Paul said would come before Jesus
returns.
II Thessalonians 2 ... (NASB) ... Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless
the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the
son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called
god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
And you know what restrains him now,
so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of
lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so
until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be
revealed
The
scriptures restrained the man of lawlessness but when churches removed
certain scriptures or explained those scriptures away, then the
restraint was removed and antichrist moved into that church group. This
has happened in one church group after another until today antichrist
is all over in the church groups.
The
apostasy spoken by Paul is rampant today in church groups. Jesus could
not return until this happened in the churches, according to Paul. (II Thess. 2)
The iniquity inside the churches sets the stage for the return of Jesus and the coming wrath of God.
*****
Many
men (and women) have a spirit speak to them luring them off to the
ministry when they are not called nor equipped by God for the ministry.
Some leave their families, having no income, to pursue "by faith" a
calling which they think is of God.
Satan appears as an angel of light (II Cor. 11) ...but Satan comes to us to lead us in "good" ways that might seem good or noble but ways that will actually destroy us.
We, who really belong to God,
know that along the way we are often pulled back into the path as we
begin to drift from side to side as we go along the path. We make
corrections to our way by the Spirit of God, by the Word of God. We pull
ourselves back into the path assigned by God by the Spirit of God as we
yield to HIS Spirit.
Seducing spirits often present things that "attract" us one way or another.
Seduce means: attract someone to a belief or into a course of action that is inadvisable or foolhardy... persuade someone to abandon his duty
*****
To
stay where God puts us is sometimes a challenge. Other things can seem
more exciting or more worthy. We see women (mothers) leave their little
children to join the army. Men sometimes leave their wife and children
to go off to minister to the unsaved when they are not really called by
God to do this. It is all a tragedy.
Then Paul says ... I Timothy 4:2-5 ... Speaking
lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God
hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and
know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be
refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer.

I
met a woman once who said she was a prophet. She had a rule that she
would not minister with anyone who drank coffee. I was shocked by this
and I asked her "why"? She replied that coffee could give a person a
"surge" which might seem like the Holy Spirit. I told her I did not
agree with her doctrine.
Some
church groups set up diets for their members ... such as Catholic which
prohibits eating of meat on Fridays and requires members to eat
something like fish instead. (Jesus called fish meat. John 21:5)
Some church groups forbid their ministers to marry ... forgetting that Peter was married and had children.
*****
And forgetting what Jesus said ... Matthew 19:1-12 ... And
it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, HE
departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
And great multitudes followed HIM; and HE healed them there.
The
Pharisees also came unto HIM, tempting HIM, and saying unto HIM, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
And
HE answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that HE which made
them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife:
and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
They say unto HIM, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
HE
saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery.
His disciples say unto HIM, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
But
HE said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to
whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs
of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for
the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him
receive it.

The apostle Paul did not marry. Peter did marry. God must ordain it when the man is not going to marry. No human can do this.
There are many seducing spirits and doctrines of devils set in the churches today.
Everything
that comes to us must be set in order by God through the Holy Spirit
and the Holy Scriptures which are able to make us wise unto salvation
through faith in Christ.
II Timothy 3:16-17 ... All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.
*****
But
we must rightly divide the word of God by the Spirit of God otherwise
Satan can use even the Bible to put a person into bondage. Many churches
today are in various bondages which are incorrect.
For example: One very strange doctrine of devils is the doctrine that in the gathering of the church you cannot use instrumental music. (This is really strange doctrine.)
Church of Christ in USA has this doctrine. They use the scripture
which speaks of singing and making melody in your hearts. But if you
really did that, you would not have to make any sound at all it would
just be in your heart.
Many
churches pass a tray with crackers/grape juice and call it "The Lord's
Supper". The Lord's supper is the partaking of the Word of God, eating
and drinking (applying) the Word of God in a proper way to your life.
Some
church groups require women to wear long dresses and put head scarves
on head, covering head. The real covering for a woman is hair.
(according to Bible)
I Corinthians 11:4-15 ... Every
man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his
head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were
shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if
it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For
a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image
and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is
not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created
for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman
to have power on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither
is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the
Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the
woman; but all things of God.
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream:
A meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.
A second man rushed in and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."
The first man resumed speaking.
I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."
There
was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole.
A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous and
would kill the people. It was coming directly toward us!
The
shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of
warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that
was poison and would kill us!
I
looked at the man seated next to me. He had a big grin on his face and
was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group. But
then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive. He was already dead!
I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.
As
I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel
sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.
