💥 Chapter 11: 1983: God warns me that I am in great danger and tells me exactly what to do.

Before I ever published a broadcast on radio, God told me to have my phone unlisted.

In 1980, it was much easier, I would think, to keep your address out of public view.  We had no Internet then.

God brought to my attention the following words of Jesus.

John 16

 

 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor ME.

 

💥💥💥 

I did not like the isolation I felt after unlisting my telephone.

But I endured this.

Somehow during this period an older man found my address and showed up at my apartment.  He pounded on my door and insisted that I had a "word" for him.

I did not open the door.  I insisted he go away.  I called Don Genlino, Bible teacher at the church I attended, and he said, "Tell him to go away or I will come over and beat him up."

I was a little fleshly in my approach!  But this was my first experience with this problem.

💥💥💥

 

I traveled a good deal in those days, having tours to 3 sections of the United States where I spoke to radio audiences.  My itinerary was published so people would know the exact city and days I would be in that city and where I was speaking and the exact times.

 

I did not register by my name in the hotel where I was staying.  I registered in my mother's name, Mildred Shepard.  (But even then, some would try to follow me to my hotel room after the meeting.)  

I traveled alone from Dallas to the radio cities.

During the judgment message period on radio when I had to speak of sins being committed by the "big-time" radio-TV ministers, God gave me a terrifying warning by dream.

In the dream, University of Texas was playing North Texas State, a laughable match up in football.  

The running back for North Texas had once been the Texas University #1 running back and was very skillful.  It was obvious that Texas would try to injure him on the first play.  

They lined up facing one another and the center snapped the ball and I heard these words:  "Don't go until you see Exodus 15."

 

The meaning of this dream was obvious to me:  I had been one of the main speakers in the Faith Movement.  God took me out of that church by a dream.  God even showed me in the dream that the message being spoken was gassing the people to death and if I remained in that group, I would be killed by the message that was being taught.

 

I was now speaking of the danger of the message taught in the Faith churches and I was teaching another message opposite to the Faith Movement.

 

By this dream, God told me not to go out to the meetings I had scheduled for the radio audiences in the 15 cities where I was broadcasting at that time ... approximately 1983.

 

Immediately I cancelled all meetings. 

 

I stayed in my apartment in Dallas alone and recorded radio broadcasts. I wasn't attending any church at that time because God, by a dream, had caused me to leave Word of Faith.  The isolation I endured was terrible.  The hate mail from church people that came to us was enormous.  Offerings disappeared because the church people hated the revelations God had given me.  I finally quit the radio stations which continued to allow me to broadcast.  I had no recording to make.  I missed it greatly.  A few people continued to send financial support.  I sent written exhortations to them by US Mail.  Later I recorded exhortations on cassette tape and sent a tape to one and that person sent the tape to another and the next to another like a library system. This started in 1983 and continued for the next twenty-nine-years.  It was terrible isolation.

During that time, I moved to the state where my mother lived and I built 2 apartments on a lot which we owned.  We lived there 5 years and I bought a lot on the golf course and a couple of years later built a house and moved my mother in with me into that house on the golf course.

It turned out this house building project would be used by God to finance my old age, because money accumulated each time I sold a house and built another house.  

 

I built 2 apartments and 2 houses during that period of time.

The last week of March, 2012, God gave me a dream which put me on Internet to exhort the church by a blog.  Jesus Ministries Exhortation.

I saw a scripture which caused me to publish daily  exhortations on the blog.

Hebrews 3:13-14  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.

Hebrews 10:25-27  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.  26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

(These 2 scriptures encouraged me to be faithful to write daily exhorting the church by blog all over the world.)

💥💥💥

In mid-year, 2015, I found we could self publish books (e-books and paperbacks) on Amazon. We began writing. (Pam Padgett doing all the technical work which allow us to publish.)  Amazon has a program where you are allowed to give away 5 e-books per 3-month period and we participate in that program.

The first week of February, 2020, God gave me a dream showing me to begin exhorting the church on Podcasts.

I find this is so much better than radio.  We can publish broadcasts daily.  There is no limit on time of recordings.  Each recording is available in archive.  Podcasts only cost $100 per year to broadcast.

I'm currently almost 87 years old and am able to continue to publish blog, books, and Podcasts.  I haven't been out (except by Internet) since God said to me in 1983, "Don't go until you see Exodus 15."

God gives me many end time messages to help the church and me to be ready for the return of Jesus.  (I'm free to speak whatever I believe to be from God without being censored in any way.)

I Corinthians 1:25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

 

I often read books dealing with 1930-40.  I started a new book last night and was really surprised to see how one of the historians jumped around trying to explain the reasons the Nazis did what they did.

 

Wisdom and understanding are from God. In trying to be wise, man often fools himself.

Podcast: One will be taken, one left, when Jesus returns. Will we be ready the day Jesus returns?

 

Matthew 24   (Jesus says)

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.

37 But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Comments by Joan Boney:

I have been called by God and was given the spiritual gift of "exhortation".   

To "exhort" means:  to urge the church by advice and warning.  (Romans 12:8)

Concerning "exhortation" we are told the following in the Bible.

Hebrews 3

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

So "daily" I publish on our blog and present recorded Podcasts.

Hebrews 10:25  ...  but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Often the devil says to me:  "You write too much ... You speak too much."

But I read in the Bible to write and speak even more to the church as I see us approaching the return of Jesus for the sin and wickedness of this world will get even worse as we near the return of Jesus.

So I exhort the church "even more" as the Bible says to do.

💥💥💥

The devil would like me to stop doing this so he says in my ear, "They aren't listening to you.  They tire of you."

But I see by the scriptures in Hebrews 3 & 10 to exhort the church daily and to exhort them even more as the sin increases on this earth.

And I pray to be able to do this until I am removed from this earth.

Should I listen to devil and stop and Jesus returns, I will not be "ready" for I stopped my assignment and began to eat and drink with the wicked.

Matthew 24

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

So do the assignment which God has given you and continue doing that until Jesus returns to gather the elect.

(It is very simple.)

💥 Chapter 10: God judges each person for good and bad

Matthew 23  (Jesus says)

 

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to HIS disciples,

2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Ecclesiastes 4:6  Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

 

This verse reminds me of a decision I had to make many years ago when I was working at FedEx.  I was given two options to choose from: 

1) maintain a higher-position and the salary increases that would go with that position, but be required to report directly to a company executive, which would be a much higher-stress situation and require frequent travel ...

 or

2) take a de-motion in position and continue to report to a manager, which would result in much less stress and very little travel

Although prestige of the higher position and the increased salary potential were appealing, and taking a demotion was hard for my flesh, after prayer I believed I was led by God to take the demotion.  This led to a much more peaceful and easy way of life, and I was thankful for being led to go this way.

Podcast: God leads us today by scriptures, HIS Word, which he brings to us out of both the Old and New Testaments

 

 

 

Examples given of God doing this with various Christians.  Patterns of how God speaks to us today by HIS Word.  Faith in that which God says to us.

From the Old Testament:  an example of following God by doing what God says.

God calls Joshua to lead the children of Israel after the death of Moses, and how to accomplish the will of God for our lives.  These things apply to that which God has told us to do today.

When God tells you to do something today, the pattern which will show you what to do and how to have good success.

Philippians 4:13  The apostle Paul says:  I can do all things through Christ (the Word given me by God in the issue of this life) which strengtheneth me.

Pam Padgett, a member of the body of Christ, saw a word from Old Testament which showed her to take early retirement because her job was destruction to her.

Micah 2:10  Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

What would she do with all that time ?

Pam retired in February, 2012, at age of approximately 56.

God gave me a dream to start a blog in March, 2012.  I called Pam to see if she could set it up and run it for the ministry.  (Then we learned that Pam has spiritual gift of "helps".)

I Corinthians 12:28  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Everything turned out very well for her after early retirement.  She has been working with us since she retired.  Now she has set up and maintains blog, our books with Amazon, and since 2020 Podcasts, and now the addition of the Classical Music Podcast.

Recently we had to get another church person to help Pam with all the work she has had to do.

💥💥💥

On this Podcast, I present how God leads us, often with Old Testament scripture.

Joshua 1  (God taught Joshua how to do the work to replace Moses in the job of leading the Children into the promised land.)

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

(The assignment given Joshua differs from our assignment but the method of doing the assignment still applies to the New Testament church today.)

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

(The "book of the law" for us is the New Testament Bible which contains laws of God for the New Covenant church.  Also many promises of God apply to the New Testament church today.)

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

💥 Chapter 9: Advertising agencies and ministries

 

After I went on radio, my pastor, Robert Tilton, came to me and said:  "Joan ... you need to contact Michael Ellison Advertising Agency.  They can do you a lot of good."  

 

(He said Ellison represented: Kenneth Copeland, Jimmy Swaggart, Marilyn Hickey, himself, and many other ministers at that time, 1980)

 

I had no idea that ministries had advertising agencies!

 

It turned out that most big time ministries have an agent who sets up radio-television contracts, program times, special appearances,  books, and other presentations.

 

I called them and they explained what they do for the minister. They assigned me to one of their agents and scheduled a time for him to come meet with me in Dallas.

It turned out they did a little more than arrange for me to be on radio stations.

 

They have enormous influence in getting you scheduled in the prime broadcast times and in getting guest TV appearances for you to speak on other shows.

 

Immediately they booked me for one week of television in Detroit. (although TV was not my main interest in ministry, radio was, for radio was where God showed me to make my focus.) 

 

The agency received 10% of the money I paid the station for broadcast time.

 

***

 

Problems came instantly!

 

The agency said they wanted me to put in writing on all mailings and envelopes; "Send me your prayer requests" ...

 

I said, "I don't want to do that!"  (They were shocked!)   

 

"YOU Don't?", they said.

 

"NO"...  They should pray!  They go to God through Jesus, not though Joan Boney.

 

Then the agent said, "Well ... you're missing a good bet ... for when they put prayer requests into the envelope, they will usually enclose money."

 

IMMEDIATELY, I recognized this was one of their fund raising gimmicks!

 

💥💥💥  

 

 I never did this.

 

💥💥💥 

 

A second problem finished me with the agency.

 

They said: "Joan ... we can fill Soldiers & Sailors auditorium for you in Pittsburgh." 

 

"All you have to do is don't say anything on your broadcasts to offend anyone." 

 

I was really shocked at this.  And I said, "I'm a prophet.  Prophets always say things that offend people.  For prophets carry messages concerning sins the church is committing." 

 

Another thing:  The agency said they didn't want me to write anything and send it out unless I first sent the materials to them to edit!

(I told them I couldn't do this.)

A few days later I got a phone call.  My agent said, "Sadly they were having to cut back on the number of their clients and I was one they decided to let go."

I knew I was headed for "big-time" ... and I had blown it.

God reminded me of a scripture:

Matthew 4:8-11  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Ezekiel 3  (God speaking to the prophet Ezekiel.) 

 

 4 And HE (God) said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with MY words unto them.

5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;  (the church)

6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto ME: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

10 Moreover HE said unto me, Son of man, all MY words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.

11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

Ezekiel 5

 

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem (the church): I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

6 And she hath changed MY judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and MY statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused MY judgments and MY statutes, they have not walked in them.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in MY statutes, neither have kept MY judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

According to the Ellison agent, Jimmy Swaggart came to them because he wanted to get more people to attend his meetings.  He was tired of such small numbers of people attending.

 

So they evaluated his ministry and found him to be a country western singer so they told him to preach less and sing more and when he did this entertainment, the numbers changed dramatically from about 400 to 2000.

 

Marilyn Hickey asked me several times to "pray" that Michael Ellison would approve her going on TV.  She wanted very much to have a TV show.  (Notice she never asked me to pray that God would let her go on TV, but the ad agent.)

 

Marilyn told me she had figured out how she could ship her Bibles and books to her meeting on the airline without cost. In those days we had curb side check in and not all the security we have today.  She said, "You get a roll of $1 bills and be sure the baggage check-in man sees that money.  Give him the bags and boxes of books, and then give him the roll of money as a "tip".  He will send the bags and boxes of books through without charge.  And she said she had taught her 12 year old daughter how to do this and she could do this also." 

 

I didn't recognize what she was doing as sin until much later when God opened my eyes. It was stealing from the airlines.

Podcast: Mark 4:3-20

 

 

 

Jesus says

3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

Jesus explains:

Mark 4

14 The sower soweth the word.

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

💥 Chapter 8: A word spoken to me in 1983.

The meetings were growing in size from a beginning of approximately 150 people to over 2,000 people per meeting.

 

I had just completed a series of meetings in Seattle and was on the airport bus heading to my plane going to Dallas when God said to me:  "The foundation is laid ... Now we're really going to move!"

 

💥💥💥

 

On the plane, returning from another church meeting a few days later, God said to me: "The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ... The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ... The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God."

 

I had no idea what that might mean ... but soon I would find out!

💥💥💥 

 

God began reminding me of several big-time radio and TV ministers ... and things they had done ... and as a prophet I knew I would likely have to warn them for that is part of the work of a prophet of God!

 

Ezekiel 3:14   So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

 

***

 

Ezekiel 4

 

 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at MY mouth, and give them warning from ME.

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and HE said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

I asked God if there was any place in the New Testament where the blood of one person was required if they did not speak a message from God to an evil doer in the church.

Acts 20

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

First, God reminded me of Jimmy Swaggart, and the way he had come to the advertising agent, Michael Ellison, because he, Swaggart was tired of the small audiences at his meetings and he asked Ellison what he could do to get bigger crowds.

Ellison told Swaggart to stop preaching so much and do more singing and piano playing, entertaining the audience.

Swaggart did this and the number of people attending Swaggart's meeting rose from approximately 400 to over 2000 immediately.

The message I had for Swaggart from God:  "Stop entertaining the people and return to preaching."

When I could not get this message to Swaggart, I felt God showing me to give this message on my own radio broadcasts which were coast to coast, naming Swaggart by name.  (Then he would get the message.)

Apparently the message reached Jimmy Swaggart.  

 

Swaggart owned 2 radio stations.  One in Dallas-Fort Worth and the other in Houston.  They threw the switch on both stations and cut me off the air immediately!

 

***

 

(About 1/2 of my 15 stations put me off the air during the following weeks as I spoke what God showed me about the big-time ministers.)

In Seattle, outside my meeting room, the radio station manager was waiting for me.  He said:  "Joan ... you have many "good" messages.  Just speak those.  If you continue speaking these judgment messages I don't know what is going to happen to you.  We may have to put you off the air."

 

The Holy Spirit arose in me, I replied:  "George ... if I don't speak the message I believe to be from God then I don't have a message and I may as well be off the air."

 

Seattle stopped the broadcasts.

 

💥💥💥 

Finally I stopped the radio broadcasts.

I had no more heart for broadcasts.

I continued sending messages by US mail to the radio audiences who continued with me.  (There was no internet at that time.)

It was to change in March, 2012, when God gave me a dream which showed me to start writing a blog.  (Internet had come to USA.)

I had heard of this thing called Internet.  And I saw a blog on a computer on the movie "Julie and Julie".  

 

As I watch the movie and saw this thing called "blog", I though, "How exciting ... I wish I could do that ... but I don't have anything to say."  (She was writing a blog about cooking Julia Child's recipes.)

***

A few nights later, God gave me a dream.  A woman was singing.  I said, "It's a nice little voice.  A little voice, but a nice little voice."

 

God was showing me a blog ... and to start writing a blog for the ministry exhorting the church.  I called Pam Padgett who just retired as computer programmer at Fed Ex.  I asked Pam if she could start a blog for the ministry.  She said she didn't know anything about blogs but she thought she could set up one and if she couldn't she knew someone who could.  Good enough!

We were publishing a blog, Jesus Ministries Exhortations, in 3 days.

The first day, we had 2 people from Germany go to our blog.  We were so excited.  We didn't realize the blog went all over the world ... as in WWW.

Since the last week in March, 2012, to current date, we have published 16,686 exhortations and have 1,649,776 downloads.

It costs no money to publish blog.

Indeed:  It is "a nice little voice."
