6. The prophets loved the scripture more than their own lives


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Jesus, could have called on the angels of God to keep them from taking HIM, but Jesus said:  How then could the scripture be fulfilled.

Matthew 26:53-54  Jesus said:  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and HE shall presently give ME more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Jesus loved the scripture more than HIS own life and enough to suffer for scripture.

The prophet, John the Baptist, loved the scripture and died upholding scripture.

Matthew 14:3-4    For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.  For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Herod beheaded John the Baptist because of the message of adultery.

Even today we are separated from most churches because they have changed the scriptures and now permit adultery in the church group.

But we cling to scripture unto our own death as it separates us from the life we once had in that church group.

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.

* If husband divorces faithful wife and she remarries she commits adultery but the husband who divorced her is the cause of her adultery.

* Divorced woman commits adultery if she remarries while first husband is living.

* Man who marries divorced woman commits adultery.


***

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.


***

Matthew 19:4-6    Jesus said:   Have ye not read, that HE which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Today's churches are teaching God loves you and wants you to be happy so go ahead and marry that divorced woman ... And to the women they teach that it is permitted in the church for them to remarry after divorce.

Some churches even accept homosexuals and lesbians while God calls these "vile affections."

Romans 1     24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

26-27   For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.


Some churches even ordain homosexuals as their ministers.

Some are excusing sins saying that person was just born with that deformity and can't help being a homosexual.  But God calls it Sodomites and says they chose to go against nature.

***

The medical profession today often calls drunkenness a disease, not a sin.

But God identifies drunkenness as a sin, a work of the flesh, and even says they which do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, 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.

These are only a few of the evils going on today in church groups.

It is the end time apostasy in the church as spoken of by the apostle Paul.

II Thessalonians 2    3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

NASB calls this falling away "the apostasy."  Church groups would "fall away" from scripture.

It must happen before Jesus returns for the church and it is happening right now in the churches as they remove portions of scripture thus allowing antichrist to enter into the church group for the restraint holding antichrist back was the scripture.

***

II Thessalonians 2    8-12  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But we who are prophets of God will not go along with this evil in the church groups today.  

I believe if we had to do this we, too, would die for the scripture, to uphold scripture ... and in fact we do die daily because we can not go among most churches today because they have fallen away from Bible and teach other things.

The separation we endure today is like death. 

But to go there is to deny scripture which a prophet of God will not do.

Nor will we have them into our houses nor wish them well as they go about their evil doings in the name of Jesus.


*****


II John   8-11   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.


He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

A man asked me to be guest speaker at their conference for ministers.

God said to me:  Find out what they are teaching.  For if they are not teaching scriptures, then it will do no good to speak to them.

*  If they allow men to marry divorced women in their church
*  If they allow divorced women to remarry in the church
*  If they allow a man to divorce his wife (except for fornication) and marry another woman at his church
*  If they excuse homosexuals and lesbians and make them a part of their church while they continue in their vile acts
*  If they allow drunks to sit among them, calling such a disease

(or if they do any other practice in their church that is contrary to Bible)

The apostle Paul spoke of the perilous times that would happen in the last days.

These perilous times Paul spoke of would happen in the churches themselves where they would fall away from scripture.

II Timothy 3  

1-5  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  
(They say, "Jesus is Lord", but they deny the power of the scriptures to rule over them.)


6-7  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.8-9  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.10-11  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,  Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.


13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

This we are seeing in today's churches ... the end-time apostasy.
Certainly we cannot and will not be a part of this.

Revelation 12:11
   And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
