Action Taken as we Draw Closer to the End


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

I find my life changing as I draw closer to the end. 

The end comes by Jesus returning or the end comes when we near physical death. 

(I feel fine physically but there has been a substantial change in what I am doing each day of my life.)

Each of us realize there are some things that are not profitable for us, things stirring up our flesh in various ways.  I find it unprofitable to allow a curiosity about what people are doing in the world to lead me to watch newscasts... for newscasts stir me up, troubling me.

Therefore I usually do not watch newscasts. 

There are TV shows that trouble me.  Some secular books trouble me needlessly.  I just stop participating when I realize this is happening.

Today I cut back my TV package, thus eliminating some stations which present temptations for me.

Immediately after I terminated these TV stations, the Holy Spirit called the following scripture to my attention:

Romans 13:14 ... But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

This is exactly what I have been doing for the past week or so.

Instead of visiting by phone individuals who often vex me by their words (even individuals in our own church group are prone to doing this), instead I visit friends of the Bible at night.

Friends such as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ... Dan. 3

David  ... I Sam. 17

Abraham ... Gen. 12

Moses ... Exodus 1

As the iniquity of the churches and the world increases around us, there is special danger for us.

(If individuals in our church friends will not discipline themselves, how can we visit them and be vexed by their words caused by that which they are picking up from their choices on this earth.)

Jesus warned concerning the end times:  Mt. 24 ... And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

For many years, since 1982, I have found much twisting of scripture in churches by pastors as I have tried to find a church to attend.  I didn't know why this was happening.  I was bewildered. 

In April 2017, God gave me one word to reveal what is going on in our churches today ...

"restraint" ... the restraint against antichrist was removed when portions of scripture that held antichrist back was eliminated from the church group ... thus what we are seeing today is apostasy in our church groups.

Paul said this apostasy had to happen before Jesus could return.

II Thess. 2 ... NASB ... Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the LORD) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed

The restraint was the scripture.  When portions of scripture were removed from the church, lawlessness moved into the churches ... thus the apostasy in the churches.

You will say, "My church isn't a part of the apostasy."  (and you will be so proud)

Does your church teach the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery?  This is what Jesus said:  Mt. 5:32

If your church allows men to marry divorced women, it is a part of the apostasy.

Most church goers will be totally blind to what is going on at their own church.

But if you are troubled by some of the doctrine today at your church group, and that doctrine doesn't fit what you read in the Bible, then what I am reporting here will help you to see what is going on.

No one knows exactly when Jesus will return but we are aware of certain signs ... When leaves come on the trees, we know summer is near.

When iniquity abounds, the cup is filling leading toward the day God removes us and brings HIS Wrath upon this present world.

Just like the day of Noah and the flood.  God shut the door of the ark and the rain began.

I believe we have to take personal action to remove ourselves from today's iniquity whether it is iniquity in the church group or iniquity of this world.

And we need to replace the empty feeling with godly men and women ... which we have access to in the Bible.  We choose to fill our spare time visiting with these folks!

I believe it is very serious now.

From new book we are now writing:


FAITH BUILDING MOMENTS
  FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT

Exodus 14 ...

And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

God has a way to separate us from current enemies.  HIS angel stands between us so when they think of coming to us to attack us, they see darkness ... But God's way is light to us.

Example:

My neighbor who lived behind me (he is dead now), came to me asking if I would consider "renting" him a room.  He had overflow of guests coming in for a celebration and wanted to rent a room at my house for two people.  I said I would not consider renting a room but he could certainly use a room.  He said his wife's daughter and her "friend" needed a place to sleep. 


Then it hit me ... "Her friend?"  what does this mean, I asked.

He said they are lesbians.

I told him I couldn't have that in my house but if there was a married couple that would work.

He replied he didn't approve of lesbians either. 

I never heard any more from him.

About two years passed.  Unknown to me he died.  I saw his wife and inquired about him and she told me.  I expressed my sorrow.  Then she said, "I want to talk with you."  I told her I would certainly be delighted to do that.  She said, "I will come over to your house tonight."  I said, "Fine."

I prepared some wine and cheese for her visit.

It grew later and later.  I had turned on my porch light for her in the back.  She lives directly behind my house.

But she didn't come and I heard nothing from her.  (That was about 2 years ago.)

As I wondered what happened to her, I recalled the lesbian situation and I realized she wanted to come and have it out with me, attack me, and I knew God had spared me by stopping her.
