Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
When we touch “the unclean”,
the world and the people who attend churches but are not born again, it is like
touching a person who has a running sore … or a leper…
You would not
deliberately run you hand over that person who has a running sore and let their
“puss” come off on your naked hand.
Nor would you
deliberately go unprotected into a leper colony and hug the lepers.
When we go among the
“unclean”, among those not born again, we risk danger. We must have protection. And afterward, when we come away, we must be
restored. It is like taking a shower and
scrub bath when exposed to harmful chemicals.
Our “scrub bath” comes
from the Holy Spirit as we commit ourselves to God and hear from HIM and are
cleansed by HIS Word that HE gives us after we turn to HIM in such times.
I find more and more, I
am discussing things with God. I am
discussing what people said to me with God.
I am asking God to cleanse me.
This is critical to us.
We cannot live in peace
until God settles us from the words of the unclean people.
The Spirit of God settles
us. The Holy Spirit s the Spirit of
truth. They live in the lies of their
own flesh and in the lies of the people of this world. They spread their lies with their words like
germs. We are cleansed by taking their
words to God and allowing God to bring HIS words through HIS spirit to us by
faith in HIM.
And we have to wait in
faith, knowing God will rescue us from their images when they come to our mind.
Learn to talk with God
about them and what they say. Learn to
trust God. Learn to be still and wait
quietly. Learn to be cleansed from all
unrighteousness of their flesh and their words.
You must really work at
removing their images by committing yourself to God in prayer.
You will start to read
Bible and they will pop into your mind and you will find you are reading Bible
but really you are thinking of that person and what that person said or did. When
this happens, you are not cleansed of them.
STOP reading Bible and
start praying again. Talk with God. In faith, ask God to help you to be rid of
there images so you can be in peace and read Bible. You cannot read Bible when you are disturbed. When you are disturbed that is the time to
get into bed alone and talk with God and wait there until you are helped by
Holy Spirit. All this has to be in
faith, really believing God will help you and restore you.
