Book: The Prophet In Today's Church
Chapter 3
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
* Prophets are sent to the
church, not to the world.
Ezekiel 3:4-7 God speaking to Ezekiel the prophet ... And HE said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them.
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
Luke 3:2-4 the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.
The ministry offices given by Jesus after HE arose:
Ephesians 4:11-14 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
The prophets are sent to the church to bring correction to the church, to both ministers in the church and the congregations. We see the way God uses prophets throughout the Bible and it is always to take messages to the people in the church, to ministers and congregations. Many of these messages are corrections.
* Prophets often have sharp, stinging messages for the religious people.
Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
(John the Baptist called the religious leaders "generations of vipers" ... and indeed they were and often are today.)
These were the chosen of God, the children of God. They thought themselves to be righteous. But often they were doing evil deeds.
Therefore John said to them:
Luke 3:8-9 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
We, who are prophets today, warn the church in the exact same way.
Jesus said: Matthew 23 concerning the ministers ...
5-10 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
(Today some of them call themselves "Reverend." Paul, the apostle never called himself "Reverend." Neither did Peter ... Neither is there any place in the Bible where a man called himself "Reverend." But these evil men today do this. They exalt themselves above the Bible and above all with such titles which they confer upon themselves. But this is not in Bible.)
Matthew 23:14-15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
(The so-called ministers just duplicate themselves, like clones ... having not the spirit but just passing on their own ideas and religious traditions set up by themselves, without power of God ... wells without water ... clouds without water ... spewing out great swelling words. II Peter 2 & Jude)
* The religious people kill the prophets.
Matthew 23:29-39 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see ME henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
These evil "sugary" men who have come to me saying "Jesus is Lord" and calling themselves ministers, try to feign love upon me with their many words. Some try to push themselves into my abode, draining me when they will not obey Bible, bringing upon themselves destruction. Remember as a prophet of God you must stay free to serve God. The devil tries to use evil ministers to eat you up by calling and visiting, stopping the real work of God if you allow them into your house. Then you have days lost as God restores you and raises you up again so you can do the real work of God.
Often in past, God has said to me: "Stay free ... and serve ME."
They think by their many works they will be of God, but God says a man who comes showing his works without a message from God is an evil worker.
They tell of their works: orphanages and such ... but they never share a message of God to the church because they have no message of God.
Paul called them "ministers" of Satan.
II Corinthians 11:12-15 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Some of them would deceive me, if possible. But I find God always has a way of revealing them to me for what they really are.
They are antichrist in the church, presenting themselves as ministers of God to get money from you for their many works, while they are ministers of antichrist of the end time church apostasy, not doing scripture and even twisting and changing the scripture from Bible.
They are without real understanding from God.
II Thessalonians 2:9-12 ... 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.
Prophets of the NT church will have no dealings with them.
We live today, in the apostasy Paul spoke of in II Thessalonians 2.
Paul said there would be a falling away. Churches would fall away from scripture setting up another doctrine. When the scripture is removed even in part, antichrist can move into the church. Lawlessness against God enters. Man exalts himself in the church as if he is God. Man rules over scripture, doing as he pleases, approving sin in the church.
Paul said all this apostasy in the church had to happen before Jesus could return.
II Thessalonians 2 :3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
God showed this to me in a dream in 1979.
Destruction was everywhere.
A meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a group of people. I went into the room and sat down and began listening.
A second man came 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 because I wanted to see what it was that had "already begun."
There was a tall pole and on top was a yellow civil defense type speaker which was used to warn the people. A gas was coming out of the speaker. It was poison and it was coming directly toward us!
The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there to warn us was being used to distribute the gas which would kill us.
I looked at the man who was seated next to me. He seemed to be attentive to the man speaking. He was smiling and looking directly at the man speaking. But then I saw: This man was a corpse. He was already dead.
I looked about the room and all the others were dead also.
As I sat among them I began to feel myself start to fall asleep. The gas coming from the speaker was killing me also as I sat there.
This is the apostasy that is going on in our church groups today.
Ezekiel 3:4-7 God speaking to Ezekiel the prophet ... And HE said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them.
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
