Comments by Joan Boney:
This is a message for the elect of God.
Iniquity abounds today in this world and in churches which have fallen away from scripture and set up other doctrines to approve those who sin to get them to come to church where they can be approved at church in their sins without repentance for sin or even knowing they have sinned.
There is just one problem ... The judgment of God, and the return of Jesus, where HE sends HIS angels to gather HIS elect, is coming.
No man knows the exact day of Jesus' coming ... but when we see "the season" we know winter is over and the leaves on the trees tell us spring is coming.
When iniquity abounds and perilous times come we see the judgment of God upon man in the great tribulation because of their sins, we know we are close to the end.
Hold fast to faith in God ... for much trouble is ahead for this world, for the churches of the apostasy, and even for the elect of God.
Jesus says: Mt. 24:21-22 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

What does the apostle Peter tell us, the elect of God, to do while we wait for the coming of Jesus?
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Paul says: Work out your own salvation in fear and trembling ... Phil. 2:12
I have to figure out things and people that make for peace in my own life and how to go that way in peace, without spot, and blameless ... and go that way daily as I wait.
(Today I had an extremely bad experience at the dentist office. We had already paid for a new crown which turned out to be defective. The dentist insisted on removing the new crown and putting, which she had just installed, the temporary crown back on and returning the new crown to have it remade. I had already paid by credit card $1700.00. Now I was going to have to go through everything a second time. I had spent 2 hours in the dentist chair this afternoon.
While leaving, I heard a word from God: "Say nothing on your way out of the dentist shop." So I did what I believed God wanted. I said nothing to anyone who worked there.
Tonight I wanted to stop payment which I'd made on my VISA card. I told Pam to do this. Then I decided to just let them have the money. I can afford the loss if it happens. I'm going to look for a new dentist. (My old dentist was wonderful. But she sold the shop about a month ago. I think I should have changed dentists when she sold the shop. I've noticed a big change even in the past few weeks.)

I'm sure in the time ahead we will suffer losses such as this. We must go in the way God shows us to go by HIS Spirit. Suffering loss, if needed ... keeping ourselves in peace even in such times. Bridling our tongues. Living in godliness even when people do things to us they should not have done.

The judgment seat of Christ: (after we are removed from this earth)
2 Corinthians 5
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

The world and the churches of men are comfortable like that dying person who is on a slow morphine drip.
(They don't know upon which threshold they are standing... the churches quote their platitudes of scriptures thinking they are secured by the word of God which they diligently quote but fail to do.)
Like Noah's days they live enjoying themselves and feeling secure... (wondering what on earth that crazy Noah is building out there.)
Matthew 24 Jesus says:
37 But as the days of Noe 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.

Recently God said to me:
" Write and speak to the elect of God ... not to the others ..."
So for several days now, the messages I write are to the elect of God.

If you put your hope in the salvation of this present earth or churches, or governments of men, or other humans, you are very foolish. If you live in church platitudes based even on scripture, you will see later what you've done. And you will remember the warning I speak to you.
It is critical for us that we go by the scripture that is brought by the Holy Spirit of God. That is the heart of God by the Spirit of God.

You are right to tremble because of that which is upon us.
There is an old World War II story of a rich man who saw what was coming. So he bought a place of safety on an unknown island and moved himself and his family to a place where they would be safe ... an unknown island in the Pacific called "Guadalcanal"!

They make you comfortable at most churches. And man approves you.
I might make you uncomfortable as I speak what the Bible says about sins and that which the Holy Spirit says to me.
The offices I am called to by God and Jesus are apostle & prophet.
Ephesians 4
8 Wherefore HE saith, When HE (Jesus) ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
11 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (the Word):
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into HIM in all things, which is the head, even Christ (the Word):

The apostle Peter tells us what we are to do as we wait for the coming of Jesus where HE sends HIS angels to gather the elect of God.
2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
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.

Jesus tells us about the end of this world:
Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And until Jesus comes we measure things by: "Is this truth?"
Lies will not accomplish good works.
If a man lies, we must not let our flesh be taken in by him.
Lies will not accomplish the works of God or good things.
So ... "Is it truth?"
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. If the man lies, it can't be from the Spirit of truth.
Be warned.
It will get bad! It's already bad!
