Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
The shooting of the man 7 times in the back by the police in Wisconsin is a terrible sign of the rampant evil in man during the end times.
Paul said, in II Timothy 3,
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
incontinent: unable to control themselves.

It is incredible that a police person today would shoot a man this way with all the recent stories of slaying by police officers.
I don't see it as much over race as over basic evil in humans who have position to do evil and that is a sign of end times.
For us, I believe we focus on:
Romans 12
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
We, who believe in God, know God will avenge the situation.
At the judgment seat of Christ each person will receive for that which he has done, whether good or bad. II Corinthians 5

I'm equally horrified over the sexual scandal involving Jerry Falwell's son.
On TV Falwell's son attributed the problem to the "self righteous" people.
When the sexual sins are sins against the Word of God and God and his own self.
And the weakness of the leaders of the group made a statement and left God totally out, trying to reason with worldly "wisdom" which is not wisdom at all.
I Corinthians 6
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

We, who belong to God, must cause the Spirit to rule over our flesh by the Word.
These are terrible times at the end.
We must not think our own flesh can deal with issues. Our flesh does works of the flesh and never gets better.
Galatians 5
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
We control our flesh and keep it from taking over by hearing the word of the Spirit and choosing to follow that Word. We suffer in the flesh, making our flesh suffer, each time we follow that spoken to us by the Spirit in the issues of this life.
Keeping our flesh crucified by the Word of the Spirit of God and choosing the way of the Spirit over the way of the flesh is our safety and victory.
The 2 events reported today should awaken us to see the evil that is going on today as we see people who allowed their own flesh to rule.
We must allow the Spirit of God to rule over our flesh and keep our flesh put to death by that which the Spirit gives us.

Jesus told us the evil of the end times.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
***
Increasing in both prayer and meditating day and night in the scripture brought to us by the Holy Spirit of Jesus greatly help us to endure.
It will get much worse before the end.
You have seen me increase the exhortations for that is what the Bible tells me to do.
I'm increasing meditation scriptures for myself, adding some from our blog and others from Bible, to keep these good ways before me day and night. But we also always depend on the Holy Spirit to give us truth to hold onto.
I had a dream about a woman who was once in our church group. In the dream I was shown she has not improved but makes her self appear attractive on the outside.
I didn't want to focus on this dream for we hope they are better not worse.
But this dream is truth to keep me from being swept away by vain imaginations.
A few days after the dream I had wild thoughts about her, "She's better now." But God shows me she isn't better. I'm sure the devil wants me to think she is better and even to try to get me to communicate with this woman again and make her feel good about herself and resume a friendship with her.
But by the dream, I'm instructed by God and warned about this woman and know to continue on the path of leaving her alone.
Each of us must follow that which we believe God has shown us and set aside vain fancies.
For the times are evil. Our own flesh will led us to destruction if we allow it to happen. We must hear from God and settle issues with God, finding out how God wants us to handle each situation of this life.
We must be able to confidently say, "God showed me to do this."
If we can't say that, we probably followed the wrong spirit or followed our flesh.
