Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In the spring of 2018, I began reworking the arrangement of my sound equipment in my TV area.
At the same time, Pam Padgett told me of a project she had been planning for downstairs of her house. Pam wanted to get a bath downstairs so she could move to that area for her bedroom. Pam said she began thinking of doing this after she fell part of the way downstairs and she thought she might need to provide for herself a bedroom/bath downstairs.
She met with a contractor to discuss the project but his partner told Pam a lie so she cancelled any plans to work with this company.
Then she arranged for a decorator to come to her house and she realized all she wanted was to get the decorator out of her house, so she knew not to work with this person.
Then the project went completely dead.
Pam said it was as if a cloud was over the planned project.
This is usually one of the stop signs when following God. If that happens to you, it is unwise for you to try to make yourself go forward with the plan. Something is wrong.
God knows everything. Nothing is hidden from God. God knows when we should do something and when we should not do that thing we planned.
In the Old Testament God led HIS people through the wilderness of this world as follows.
Numbers 9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
I've had many ideas which just didn't work. I would pray, "Should I do this now?" And sometimes the way would be completely clear for me to move forward while other times, something always stopped me.
I think many worldly people would say, "Just grit your teeth and do it." But I never found that to be the way of God.
God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light. Matthew 11
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Isaiah 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:

Update: Pam Padgett / 6-2-18
Yesterday morning I was talking with God about the project I had been considering doing at my house ... moving the TV and sound equipment to the same area where my fireplace is and, possibly, converting my current theater room into a main-floor bedroom and bath. The project had kind of gone "dead" several weeks ago, but a few days ago I had a thought that maybe I could get some software which can be used to layout various options in remodeling and redecorating a house. This kind of interested me, but I didn't want to stir myself up doing this if this project wasn't the way for me to go.
So yesterday I asked God to please give me something strong and clear if I was to move forward with this project. I also asked that if I was to move forward with this project to show me how much to do and who to work with on the project.
A couple hours later I was filling in holes the dogs have dug in the yard with dirt and needed to get another bag of dirt from the garage. I bent over and turned to pickup a bag of dirt, but hadn't picked up the bag, when I felt something strange in my lower back. I could not move for a minute or two. Finally, I was able to slowly walk by holding onto things, but there was pain.
Without filling in any more holes, I went into the house and just sat, using roll-on medication and a heating pad and Aleve to help with the pain.
Sometime later yesterday or earlier today (I don't remember which) I recalled my prayer to God yesterday morning asking for something strong and clear if I was to move forward with the project. I felt that this back problem was a strong and clear indication that I need to move forward with the project to get a bedroom and bath on the main level of my house.
Such an interesting way to be given something "strong and clear" to show to move forward with the project.
I feel sure my back will get better. It already seems better than yesterday. But this recovery time for my back keeps me fairly immobile, perfect for working with the software and contacting the contractor.

From Joan Boney concerning Pam's direction in going forward:
Last night in talking with Pam, I began trying to see where she could put subwoofer "if she ever went forward with remodel"
Yet I felt we had to get design now for sub.
I had no idea Pam had started seriously praying again about the project and that she was on the verge of actually doing the project.
I just knew we had to get the sound equipment design finalized, and immediately, which is what we did. Certainly God knows what is about to happen and all we do is follow those moments when God shows us to do something.
