Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
We are working on a book which is a compilation of faith building examples from the Old Testament.
These examples so clearly show God caring for HIS people, for HIS elect.
God went before them making things work according to HIS will.
Thus the apostle Paul said: (Romans 8:28)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.
It is "the purpose of God" and not my own purpose which caused me to be living in this current period of time and in this exact place.
If you are the "called of God", the same is true for you.
God keeps us in place exactly as God keeps the sun and moon in place, by HIS Word.
And God moves us by HIS Word, that word carried to us by HIS Spirit.
Many people, especially those calling themselves ministers, set out by their own desires to do a work "of the Lord."
But no work of the Lord can be done by our own will ... It is by the will of God and HIS appointment that all works of God are done.
Everything else, all other works, are futile.
We can't take the place of God.
Our role is to obey God, just as all the examples in the scriptures, Old and New testaments, show us.
We are HIS servants, set here to do HIS will, to fulfill HIS purpose.
God shows us as we wait on HIM.
We stay very still ... then when HE speaks, we move very fast.
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
