Podcast: Words which God spoke to Pam Padgett

 

 
Comments by Joan Boney: 

Pam Padgett is a member of the body of Christ, chosen by God and given the Holy Spirit by God.

I wanted you to see how God speaks to Pam for this is a very good example for you to know that God speaks to all of those who are the elect of God, not just to HIS chosen ministers.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Pam says:
 
In 1970 a boy in my class died in a motorcycle accident.  For the first time I realized that someone my age could die.  I also knew that if I died that day I would go to hell, and that the rituals I had been taught in the Catholic church could not save me.  
 
I strongly "knew" that my only hope was God.  

(Though Pam didn't realize it at the time this happened, it was God who put in into her heart that her only hope was God.  She was likely born again at that moment when Pam realized this.)
 
So I started to pray, but realized I didn't know who to address this prayer to.  

(We had been taught in the Catholic church that there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but I didn't know which one to pray to and it was very important to me that this prayer be heard.)  
 
So I started my prayer by saying "I know there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but I don't know which one to pray to.  So please get this prayer to the right one."  
 
Then I asked that, if there was any way possible to save me, to please do so.  

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
After I prayed, my eyes were drawn to the following scripture which was written on a bookmark.  It strongly stood out to me and comforted me.   
 
Matthew 11:28-30  Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 
For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.

Now I am sure it was God giving me the understanding that the rituals of the Catholic church could not save me and that God is my only hope, and drawing my attention to Matthew 11:28-30. 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
A short time after this, where I turned to God asking Him to please save me, I began to realize that there was "something of God in me".  
 
One example is when I was talking with a few girls before class began.  One of the girls said "You could never guess where I went yesterday afternoon."   

I knew within me where she had gone.  I said "You went to the cemetery, to Tommy's grave."  (Tommy was the boy in our class who had died in the motorcycle accident.)

She said that was correct and that I must have seen her there.

I told her that I had not seen her, but they had gone on talking about other things and didn't seem to hear.  

But it was obvious to me that there was no way I could have known that she had gone to the cemetery.  It had to be that God had given me this information.  
 
I now believe this was a word of knowledge from God.
 
I Corinthians 12:8  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
During my senior year of high school, when my family returned home from visiting my sister at her college, a friend of my mom called her.  This friend's husband owned the wrecker service in our small town.  She told my mom that there had been a serious car accident involving some of the boys from our high school, but she didn't know who the boys were.

That night I was given a dream in which I was shown who had been in the accident and that Steve had been killed in it.  

Steve was in my class. 

The next morning my mom spoke with her friend again on the telephone and learned who had been in the accident.  My mom came to my room to tell me, but before she said anything I told her that I knew that Steve had been killed in the accident.  
 
I think my mom assumed I had overheard her talking with her friend, but I knew that God had told me this by the dream. 
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
Although I knew there was "something of God in me" after I asked God to please save me, I didn't know what that was.  
 
A few years later God explained to me that it was the Holy Spirit in me as I read the following in I Corinthians. 

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I Corinthians 6:19   What? 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?


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
Psalm 46:10   Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Pam says: 

During the last months of college I rented a room in the home of a woman, Cindy, I had met in the singles group at the church I attended at the time.  Cindy had been divorced twice and had a young daughter.  At first she seemed content to remain single and raise her daughter.  But then she began to look for another husband.  
 
I spoke with her and shared scriptures with her warning that she would commit adultery if she remarried.  It was a big shock when she replied "I don't care what the Bible says.  I know what I believe."  

But God says:
 
Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
 
I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
 
I graduated and moved from Cindy's house shortly after this to a town about 30 minutes from where this church group met.  So I no longer attended the singles group meetings but still attended the Sunday morning service and sat with those in the singles group, visiting with them before and after the service.

Someone told me that Cindy had become engaged to marry a man who also attended the singles group, Terry.  
 
I went to Terry and shared scripture with him warning of the adultery that would be committed if he and Cindy married since she was divorced.  Terry said he would consider these things, but he didn't stop the wedding plans.  
 
Matthew 5:32   But I (Jesus) say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
 
Then I heard that another woman I had met in the singles group, Lisa, was going to be maid of honor at Terry and Cindy's wedding.  
 
I went to Lisa and shared scripture warning of the adultery that would be committed by this marriage.  Lisa said she knew this was wrong but that they would get married anyway, so she was going to be maid of honor.  

I Timothy 5:22 ... neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Then something strange began to happen when I went to the Sunday morning church service.  

One Sunday morning I got to the church a little early and sat in the area where those in the singles group sat, but none of the singles came to sit in that area.  As the service was about to begin, I turned and saw that those in the singles group were sitting in an area behind me.  

The next Sunday morning I sat in what I thought was the "new" singles group area, but those in the singles group sat in the "old" area.

The following Sunday morning I got to the church building shortly before the service began.  I went to where those in the singles group were sitting and sat down.  

Without saying a word, they got up and moved away from me to sit another area of the church auditorium.

Now it was obvious to me that those in the singles group did not want to associate with me, but I didn't know why. 

I cried out to God, asking what was going on?  Had I done something wrong? 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

A few weeks later a woman I didn't know very well came to me after the Sunday morning service.  
 
She said she had a word from God for me.  
 
The word she delivered was that God knew how those in the singles group were treating me, and that I needed to know it was because I had spoken to the various people involved in Cindy and Terry's wedding, and that this is what HE (God) had wanted me to do. 
 
It was so comforting to receive this word, for I then knew why this had happened and that I had done what was right in the sight of God. 
 
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

 
In approximately 1983 while sitting in the Metrochurch auditorium waiting for the Sunday morning service to begin, I heard the following:   
 
"What are you doing sitting here?  I told you to get out.  Now get out."
 
I became convinced this was from God and asked God when HE had previously told me to leave this church group.  I was reminded of the "Poison Gas Dream" which Joan Boney had shared with us and warnings she had given to us about those church groups that corrupt the Word of God. 

The Poison Gas Dream   (1979) 

(Comments by Joan Boney)
 
Destruction was everywhere.

In this 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 into the room 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.

Dream ends.

God was showing me the anarchy in the church groups, at the time of the dream, 1979. And it is much worse today.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Pam says:
 
So after God showed me this, I left that church group.    
 
Metrochurch was approving and performing marriage ceremonies in which the woman was divorced.  Many scriptures in the Bible show us that if a divorced woman remarries she commits adultery and the man who marries her commits adultery.  

Matthew 5:32   But I (Jesus) say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
 
 
Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 
 
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
 
 
I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
 
I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Pam says:

Here is another example of God speaking to me, this time by HIS Holy Spirit.
 
 When my mom was very ill in an intensive care unit, I asked God if I should go to Oklahoma to be with her and help her.  I heard the following and because of this, I did not go to Oklahoma:
 
"To go there would be like stepping into a hill of fire ants.  And your mom has everything she needs."

I believed this word.
 
When my mom recovered enough to go home, I spoke with her on the telephone.  She told me of several people who had come to the hospital to see her.  I realized that what these people tend to say and do is a grief to me.  It is like being stung by fire ants, very painful and requiring me to need healing by God from the poison of their words and works.  
 
My mom also told me of the wonderful care she had received.  She had everything she needed. 


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


One day my sisters called to tell me my dad was very ill and not expected to live more than a few days, and that I needed to go to Oklahoma right away to be with him before he died.  I asked God what I should do and I heard:

"You've already said everything needed."

I did not go to be with my dad.  He recovered.  A couple weeks later when I called to talk with my parents my mom told me my dad was out mowing the yard.  

When my dad died a few years later, he simply died in his sleep.  
 
After my dad died, I asked God if HE would please let me know in some way whether my dad was born again.  

A few days later, I was given a dream in which my dad was my "brother".  I believe God was showing me that my dad is my brother in Christ, born again! 
 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


Several years later I recognized a change in my mom.  She no longer spoke about other people and what they were doing.  Instead, she spoke of reading the Bible and things of God.  

She was changed, born again.

Several months later I was given a dream in which my mom was putting things in order.  I believed I was being shown she was putting things in her life in order and was about to die.  

She died about 2 weeks later. 


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In 2001 when looking for a house to buy near the new location of my work, none of the houses which were available to buy and which I had seen appealed to me.  I asked God to please show me what house to buy.  
 
I was given the idea to go through the information sheets I had picked up about each house I had seen.  As I did this, my attention was drawn to something about each house which showed that house wouldn't work for me ... each house except one.  
 
The Holy Spirit was showing me truth about each of these houses as I went through the information about the houses.  
 
John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall he speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
 
I arranged to again see the one house for which I was not shown any problem.  As I walked through the house I began to see things I really liked about the house but had missed the first time seeing it.  I purchased that house.  
 
This house has worked out perfectly for me throughout the 20 years I've lived in it. 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The house layout even allowed me to add a main-floor bedroom and handicap accessible shower which I was led to add starting in July, 2018, 17 years after buying the house.  
 
The main-floor bedroom and shower were nearing completion when Joan Boney fell at her house in Texas in December, 2018, and she knew that she could not live alone any more.  God had also told her that she would never see her house (in Texas) again.  
 
After spending 2-1/2 months in hospitals, Joan moved from Texas to Colorado in February2019, and she has lived in the main-floor bedroom of my house since then.  And she finds that the handicap-accessible shower works very well for her.  
 
Its been wonderful to have another of the elect of God living right here, and it allows us to work together very easily on blogs, podcasts, and books. 

Notice the timeline of this story.  God worked it out perfectly:

* July, 2018, began construction, adding bedroom downstairs and handicap bath
* December, 2018, Joan fell at her house in Texas and spent 2 1/2 months in hospitals
* January, 2019, construction finished on downstairs bedroom/bath
* February 24, 2019, Joan moved into downstairs bedroom/bath

Proverbs 3:5-7  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 
In all thy ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In 2005, the man I was engaged to marry, who said he was a Christian, told me with gladness that his son was engaged to marry and what he planned to do to help with the wedding preparations.  The woman his son was engaged to marry was a divorced woman.  
 
I told him that, according to the Bible, his son would commit adultery if he married a divorced woman.

(Matthew 5:32  Jesus says:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.)
 
After telling what God has told us in the Bible about the adultery committed when a man marries a divorced woman, the man I was engaged to marry no longer wanted to marry me.  
 
I was quite upset.  
 
But then the Holy Spirit said to me "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers".  

And I immediately knew that this man was not a "believer" although he said he was a Christian, for he did not believe and uphold the Word of God given to us in Matthew 5:32.

It was a great comfort to me to be shown the truth about this man I was engaged to marry, and it made me very grateful to God that I did not marry this man.  

 2 Corinthians 6:14-18   Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

In 2011, I was shown to leave my computer programming job at FedEx when the following scripture strongly caught my attention: 
 
Micah 2:10  Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

This is one of the scriptures given to me by the Holy Spirit which I believed and it set my course of faith in God for the remainder of my years.

God says:
 
Psalm 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Another scripture given to me which has been very important.
 
Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
 
When my 20-year old cat was sleeping more and more and not as steady when she walked, I asked God how I would know the best time to put the cat to sleep.
  
I heard "You'll see blood".
 
A few weeks later the cat vomited and I saw blood in the vomit.  
 
Immediately I was reminded of the word I had been given to know when it was time to put the cat to sleep, and I did this right away.  
 
It was a great comfort to me to have been given the best time to do this.

Dream given to me - 3/19/2006

I was in a rather small army and we were about to be attacked by a much larger army. We were led to go into a room on an upper floor of a building. We knew the enemy would come there and that the battle would be in this room. 
 
There was a table and chairs in the room. Although I thought about turning the table on its side to use as a type of shield, other people had already started doing that. 

We didn’t have weapons such as guns; we were given forks. 

(The weapons of our warfare are very different from the weapons of man.)
 
There was a closet near the door through which the enemy would enter. I took a fork and went into the closet, leaving the door partially opened.

Then the enemy started coming through the door. I reached out of the closet, grabbed an enemy soldier, and stabbed the soldier several times with my fork. When that soldier fell, I reached and grabbed another. 

After having done this several times, the enemy saw what I was doing and 3 of them came to kill me.   It looked totally hopeless for me.

But then, suddenly, the fighting stopped. 
 
I asked others in the army I was in why the fighting stopped and was told that it was because I was being attacked. 

There was a rule that if a soldier was already injured, they could not be attacked. At first I wondered how this pertained to me, but then saw a small cut on my left arm.  I don’t think I was even aware of this during the battle, and it certainly hadn’t stopped me from killing several of the enemy.  But, evidently, this was seen as a serious offense by those in power. So the fighting had been stopped and the enemy army was held responsible for this by those in authority.

Jesus said:  Matthew 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

I was concerned that I had stabbed each enemy soldier several times and wondered if this was going against the rules as well. However, I was told that this was ok since I stabbed the soldier multiple times in the same attack ... I hadn’t set out to attack someone who was already wounded.

As we waiting in the room, we received word that the enemy had admitted they were wrong. We thought the fighting would now resume. But as we waiting in the room for the enemy to return, we noticed through a window that the enemy troops were marching out of the city. The battle was over.


I turned and told those in the room that this was God’s doing (that we weren’t destroyed by the enemy and that the battle was over), and others agreed. 
 
 
After waking from this dream, I was reminded of the following:

II Corinthians 10:3-5   For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Isaiah 55:8-9   For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
Dream given to me - 2/27/2020 

There had been an explosion.  Somehow it was known that the person responsible for this explosion had setup another explosion for a specific day.  We even knew the approximate time.

I started to leave the building where I was working on the sixth floor before the second explosion was to take place, but just a few steps down the stairs I remembered my purse and that all my identification was in it.  I ran to where my purse was and got it. 

Then I proceeded to leave, going down the stairs very quickly I counted each floor as I passed by it descending down the stairs.

Some people were standing along the stairs, talking.  I could tell by their talk that they knew the explosion was supposed to be coming, but they seemed to feel no sense of urgency.  I didn’t stop to try to persuade them to get out right away.  Instead, I went around them and continued getting to the first floor so I could leave the building. 

I got out of the building and continued quickly on my way to leave the area. 

At one point I was aware the explosion had happened.  There was a wall of glass doors in the outside area where I was.  I went through one of the doors to the other side, getting as far away from the destruction as I could.  I kept walking as quickly as possible. 

At one point I saw a woman walking around with a dazed look.  She was carrying a recording device.  I heard her say she was interviewing people who had been hurt or raped during this event.

I kept walking as quickly as possible toward the parking lot so I could leave.


After I awoke from this dream, I heard: “Save yourself from this untoward generation”

Acts 2:40   And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 

Untoward:  warped, winding, perverse, crooked, froward, inappropriate, offensive, willful

 
 πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
Dream - 7/9/2020 

There was a war going on.  The enemy was coming to the house where I was.  I thought I would be safe if I went to an area behind the house and sat on a chair behind a large tree until the enemy left. 

I got a chair and started out the back door of the house, but then noticed movement in the trees behind the house.  I knew the enemy was in that area as well and that it wouldn’t be safe to go to the big tree.  

I was trapped, with the enemy approaching the front of the house, and the enemy already in the trees behind the house.  

Then the war was suddenly over, and the enemy had lost the war.  

As people were moving about in the aftermath of the war, I walked away safely. 


As I woke I was reminded of:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Matthew 24:21-22)
