Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
So much depends on our doing two things:
* Identifing and withdrawing from antichrist people.
* Following those scriptures daily which have been given by the Holy Spirit of God.

For the past 40 years, God has removed antichrist people from me and also has shown me not to keep company with antichrist people.
First, when I speak the truth of God and the scripture, many leave me!
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.
So as we speak certain portions of scripture to them, they will be offended and leave us.
Some of the especially offensive scriptures are:
Matthew 5:32 The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Romans 7:1-3 The divorced woman who remarries while her husband lives commits adultery.
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 The churches fall away from scripture and antichrist comes through the church and sets himself up in the church.
II John vv. 3-11 We must withdraw ourselves from antichrist church groups and from antichrist people in the churches and we cannot have those people into our home or keep company with them.
I Corinthians 5 We can't keep company with a "brother" who sins. All we can do is put him away from us. It won't work to counsel him or pray for him. Paul says: Put him away from among yourselves.
These are some of the scriptures which offend the church goers the most.

You can tell them what I say and they might not leave you. They will just blame me and think I am wrong. But if you tell them yourself directly, they will hate you.
Example:
Pam Padgett was attending a non-denominal church group. A woman she knew who was divorced was planning to remarry. Pam told this woman, if she remarried she would commit adultery according to the Bible.
Pam also told the woman's intended husband that if he married a divorced woman he would commit adultery according to the Bible.
Pam also told the woman who was to be maid of honor that this man and woman would commit adultery when they married. The maid of honor said she knew it would be adultery but they would marry anyway so she planned to go ahead and be maid of honor. (I wonder what would have happened if this woman had withdrawn from this adulterous wedding?)
These people hated Pam so much they would not even sit by Pam when she went to the main church service. They all got up from her and moved to another section of seating in the church auditorium.
Instead of telling them what the Bible says, what do you think would have happened if Pam had mailed my teaching to them on these subjects?
They would have hated me and continued to accept friendship with Pam. Therefore antichrist in these people would have continued being "friends" with Pam.
By confronting them directly with Bible, Pam caused these antichrist people to remove themselves from her.
Which is exactly what we have to do today at this point in time, before the great tribulation and the return of Jesus.
We put antichrist church people away from us or we speak truth from God and let them leave us. Either way we are free.

And we refuse antichrist who often appears to us on television. When the movie troubles us, we just turn it off and find a movie that does not trouble us.
Amazingly blowing up Germans or Japanese or even Americans in WWII movies does not trouble us, for we know hardly any of the people on either side are "good" in the sight of God and watching such does not allow antichrist into our lives. In Bible, God often killed entire communities of people. Read Joshua for example.
Last night, Pam and I were trying to watch an episode of a TV mystery show. In the first episode, it started with them gathering for a séance. So we turned the TV to the next episode. It had a setting in a church building, perhaps catholic. We turned to another episode. When Pam left my room and went to bed, I went to three or four different TV shows before I found one that I could watch. Then about 11 p.m. I turned off the TV and read the next day's blog which had just published.
There are things and people which we must turn from to keep ourselves and to endure as the wickedness of this world and the wickedness in the churches abounds.
The great tribulation is coming ... sometime! In the meantime, we must deal with ourselves to endure.
