Comments by Joan Boney:
I was watching Episode 10 of a production on Netflix: Hitler: Circle of Evil
All of a sudden something happened. Great joy came upon me and I knew it was from God. It was sort of like when I was taken into heaven twice. I didn't want to go back to earth. And truly I never went back to the person I was before this happened.

Recently I have to put 2 women away from me and out of our church group. Please read the report of this on blog (click the following): Sunday December 29, 2024 💥 Recently I put 2 women out of our little church group: One for railing against me and the other for idolatry toward me.
(Before continuing with this report, you need to go back and read that blog.)
💥💥💥
I could write to each of these women separately but then I would have to write again and report to our little church group and then write it again on blog, so I'll just write to each of them on the blog today.
First to Barbara Preston: The railing is attached to James 3: Sweet water, bitter water.
James 3 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
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.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Barbara Preston: railing
You can be one of the nicest, sweetest, compassionate people I've ever seen. Then I've seen you foolishly rail out like a mad woman. (This ought not to be for anyone one in the church to do.)
But the answer is God. Only God knows the holes in your life and in each of our lives and only God can fill up those holes where needed. So far that has not completely happened with you.
You are like a highway with pot holes. Those holes need to be filled in by God.
If I were you I would sincerely cry out to God over and over, pleading with HIM to help me. I would do this in a very intense way until He did it. Sort of like in the scripture given us in Luke 18.
1 And HE (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge HIS own elect, which cry day and night unto HIM, though HE bear long with them?
8 I tell you that HE will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall HE find faith on the earth?

Sandra Chupik ... Idolatry
Your problem is so much like the children of Israel when they insisted that Aaron make them a god when Moses disappeared and didn't come back and they didn't know where he was.
Moses they say is their God and who knows where he is?
They didn't see it was God who delivered them from Egypt. So when something went wrong they murmured against Moses.
You think you must do everything yourself. You make a "token prayer" to God but you really don't believe God will do it. So you must do it and therefore it frustrates you and you turn to other people for help (making them your god) and it frustrates them.
Barbara once said to me, "I just can't be involved in Sandra's decorating problems."
If you see God helping, you don't have to get us to help. You don't see God. So you try to make us into gods since you can't trust God.
I believe God can straighten this out in you.
I see part of the problem but not nearly all of the problem. I would help if I could but I can't because I don't know. But God knows everything. You have to see that and make HIM your God.

I Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
God might have to do this to save both of you.
I know God destroyed Don's flesh. He told me this. And I think God destroyed Linda's flesh over what I think was idolatry toward me. (I didn't know that was the problem at the time.)
I would think God would have already shown both of you some of your problems and I would think God would have already healed some of these. You haven't told us and I think you should do that, giving glory to God, just send email to Pam or me as report when you feel God has helped you.
As long as you keep what God does hidden, you go deeper into the abyss. To find your life you must be willing to lose your life. Right now I see you, Sandra as having no life so not much to lose. (I was shocked when you came to Clovis for that is what I saw then. You having no real life in Christ. It was all a façade.)
Most who say they are Christians have nothing of God to offer. It is a structure they have constructed to look like a spiritual person, like a movie set where they are playing out a religious person's scene.
God can fix everything for each of us and then we tell what God did for us.
But if your reputation is precious to you, you won't tell.
It is not until we are willing to be seen as nothing at all important that we can share things real that God has done with us.

PS I said to Pam ...
Do you see Barbara as a godly woman?
Do you see Sandra as a godly woman?
Pam thought seriously ... and then answered, "No."
I think a church woman desires to be a "godly woman." But sometimes they build a façade like a stage set and put themselves into that picture and try to show themselves as being good without actually having anything that is from God.
We should show God ... What God has told us and done in our lives ... But if we do that we might not appear to be as "good" as we picture for the role we are trying to portray as our image to other people.
But God has taught me to tell what HE has done in my life and what HE has said to me. And when I do that it might make me seem foolish, or much less in the eyes of people, but I do that anyway because that is what God has taught me. It shows God in me. It does not show me to be God.

I believe my own mother filled the role God created a woman to be.
* She was truly a help-meet to my dad. I think my cousin was truly a help-meet to her husband. And my aunt was a help-meet for her husband.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
* My mother wanted to go out and get a job and my dad said, "No ... I want you to stay home and take care of Joan."
Before he died, my dad said to me, "I've been thinking about my life and I believe I've done OK because I made enough money so your mother could stay home and take care of you."
My mother once said to my dad, "You're ruining her. No man will ever be able to give her all the things you give her." But there would be "no husband." God had another plan for me. Neither did I need to play with dolls for I wouldn't be dressing small babies. God had another plan for me.

I view most woman as evil ... I see them measuring the situation by "what can I get from a husband... not by how can I be a help-meet to my husband." I view them as scheming, coy women, lying and tricking, focused on make up and that which makes them look good.
Proverbs 31:10-12 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
My mother said, "I've never known what to do with you."
Some of us do not fit the mold. God has other plans for us!
Most women marry and have children. and then try to fulfill themselves.
My dentist sent us an email today telling us she needs to spend more time with her 3 very young children so she sold her dental practice but will still work a little there. I sent her an email telling her I see this as godliness and rejoice.
The main thing is godliness and that comes from being born again and following God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Bible in godly ways.

Once a church woman who knew I was dating said to me, "What did he give you? flowers, jewelry, candy?"
The truth was nothing. I had never even thought of such a thing as this!
Apparently I missed 101 of the lesson on how to be a woman.
And my mother taught me not to cry. If I did cry, she beat me with a switch from a tree which she kept on the refrigerator. Crying is one of the weapons women usually learn to use to get what they want from a man!
But after I was taken into heaven twice, I was made one with Jesus the Word and then all I thought of was the Word, God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, the Bible, and the church.
But I greatly admire women who are faithful to their own husbands and care for and teach their children in godly ways, living in godliness!
