Comments by Joan Boney:
One of my neighbors asked if he and his wife could come to one of our "Bible Studies". (They had attended one of our home church sessions during the summer of 2024 at Pam Padgett's house in Colorado Springs Colorado.)
We don't actually have what I would call a "Bible Study".
We tried this summer to have "a gathering of the church" as defined by the apostle Paul in I Cor. 14:26. How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
As they came together, as the church, every one shared as led by the Holy Spirit.
Each one was free to share what God had said and had done in their lives.

When I attended Word of Faith church in Farmer's Branch, Texas, the teacher of our single's class would always say, at each meeting: "Does anyone have a Word from the Lord." and we were free to share doctrines or spiritual gifts. God often gave me many "word of knowledge" gifts for the class.
I Cor. 12 (spiritual gifts) 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Many years ago, on a Wednesday night, a church had a gathering where people gave "testimonials." I found this service very interesting and it is the only time I've ever seen a church do this. To me, it is much more like Paul was telling us in the Bible, to do as we came together, as the church.

Most church groups don't seem to know the following: The ministry offices in the NT church are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. (A person can be called to more than one ministry office in the church.)
Paul was an apostle, preacher, and a teacher. (2 Timothy 1:11)
Ephesians 4
8 Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE 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:
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:

After I was born again in 1975, one night I was "transported" into heaven. It was similar to Paul's description of a man taken into the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:2-4 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
***
In my case, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were there ... I saw no "physical type images" ... it was a "spiritual experience." I was "merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God ... God and Holy Spirit witnessing.
A few nights later, the same thing happened again.
(Much later, I felt, at that time, I was "ordained" into the 2 ministry offices to which I was set in the body of Christ by God and Jesus: apostle & prophet.)
For the next 5 years, as I read Bible, I was very aware of God teaching me the scriptures by HIS Holy Spirit. God taught me what the NT apostles and prophets do in the church today.
* New Testament apostle has an ordination concerning the scriptures and especially in dealing with the New Testament Bible and the "laws of God" as set forth for the New Testament Church. See: Acts 15 Dealing with such things as divorce & remarriage, and other doctrines in the church, many of which have been changed in churches today and other teachings opposite to Bible set up in the gathering of the church, approving divorced women remarrying when Jesus said: "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." Mt. 5:32
Romans 7:2-3 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
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: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
So many churches today teach that the divorced woman can remarry after divorce but this is not what the Bible teaches.
***
* New Testament prophets deal primarily with delivering corrections to individuals in the church and sometimes delivering messages to the entire church group, often warning them about things to come.
***
I continually do the work of a New Testament apostle and prophet in the messages I deliver which you read and hear.

In 2019, a major change occurred in my life.
I had been living alone for several years and I felt God showing me that the time was coming when I could no longer live alone. (at that time I was 82-years-old)
I fell at my house in Texas on a night in December, 2018.
As the ambulance workers rolled me past the front door of my house in Texas, God spoke to me, saying: "You'll never see this house again."
That did not trouble me at all. God had another plan for me and HE would work it out. The experience I had during the previous 44 years showed me I could trust God and HE would do far better for me than I could ever do for myself.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
The "power" that works in us is the Holy Spirit of God which does the following for each of the children of God, those born again by HIS Spirit.
Jesus says:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
(The Holy Spirit brings to our mind what God says about our situation, showing us the will of God in the matter at hand.)
God also showed me what the Holy Spirit does for us by the following scripture.
I Corinthians 2
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written (OT), Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM. 10 (NT) But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
That did not trouble me at all. God had another plan for me and HE would work it out. The experience I had during the previous 44 years showed me I could trust God and HE would do far better for me than I could ever do for myself.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

I put the Texas house up for-sale from the hospital in Texas in 2018. And in February, 2019, I moved to the home of Pam Padgett (a woman of great faith in God) in Colorado, Springs, Colorado.
The house in Texas sold in the summer of 2020 for $308,000. I had no debt. I wasn't going to need to buy another house. I paid Pam rent of $1000 per month to help with her household expenses, although she did not want me to pay anything, but I would not live there unless she accepted the money for rent.
I put the money from the sale of the Texas house into a MMDA at a bank in Colorado. By this money God financed my old age. I was 83-years-old at that time.
***
Pam was a retired computer programmer at Fed Ex so she was able to set up a blog which God showed me in a dream to do in 2012. We self published ministry books on Amazon starting in 2015. And by a dream God showed me to start Podcasts in 2020.
It costs nothing to publish the blog or books. And we pay approximately $200 a year to publish ministry podcast and a Classical music podcast blog. We have almost no ministry expenses yet 1-million-700 thousand have downloaded our blog, and we have published over 17,000 exhortations going all over the world to churches everywhere. And I do not have to beg for offerings to pay for our ministry works.
We have 6 or 7 people left over from the radio audience of 1980-84. They give offerings to the ministry: Jesus Ministries

Having no debt, I am able to do many things which could not be done otherwise ... plus I hardly ever think of money at all so this frees me from "serving" money.

Matthew 6 (Jesus says)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
(I believe we lay up treasures in heaven each time we choose to do a scripture. And that scripture lives in us when we do that scripture.)
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

I do urge you to get out of debt if God makes a way for you to do so. I believe the time we have left before the return of Jesus is short. I say this because I know by the Bible the evil of people on the earth greatly increases before the judgment of God comes upon those people and nations.
Also the apostasy begins in church groups where they fall away from scriptures.
This has been happening for several years.
You should be able to see the loss of integrity over the past decades by just witnessing what is currently going on with sexual sins reported by those men in high places and also in the masses of the world who are committing fornication and adultery and how it is openly approved by people of this world.
In previous societies where sexual sins were open before all to witness, God brought judgment to destroy those nations and to cause a fall of nations of men.
Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that HE had made man on the earth, and it grieved HIM at HIS heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before ME; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
(But God made a way for righteous Noah to be saved.)
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
All people who were not in the ark were killed in the flood that God brought in the days of Noah.
After the flood: God made promises to Noah:
Genesis 8
16 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
But the present heaven and earth will be judged by God and the Great Tribulation of God will come upon unrepentant humans before Jesus returns 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.

Judgment is coming. No man knows the exact day or time. But we know judgment comes because of the sins of humans on this earth.
Therefore, says Paul.
Philippians 2:12 ... work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2 Corinthians 5:9-11 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;

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

They deny the power of the scriptures, failing to have faith in the Word of God.
Because of the way people are inside themselves at the end times, there will be many troubles not seen before. (open sexual sins, ungodliness, love of money and pursuit of earthly things, lack of integrity, failure to love and respect truth, desire for personal reputation rather than desire for that which is "right" and good in the sight of God.)
💣💣💣
Often when they speak it is like a bomb exploding! (And one bad thing is spoken after another.)
They carry fear of what might happen. Whereas God carries to us love, joy, peace as we rest in HIS Word.
God cares for us. But unless we are very well grounded and experienced in God, and in HIS Word, terror will reign, even in us.
Church goers are often totally unprepared.
God, by HIS Word, gives us everything we need.

As I considered having home sessions for myself and neighbors, I was troubled. So many things are needed. I doubt that they even know the types of problems to expect at the end which I believe is near because of the sin that is rampant today.
And so many are so burdened with activities they can barely return your phone call or email. This world is eating them alive already.
💥💥💥
On the morning of February 4, 2025, I awoke with the concept that I could write these things and publish them on Amazon e-book for all the world, with our other books. Then everyone over the entire world could read what God illuminates to me concerning that which is coming and already greatly troubling people.
💥💥💥
I have no concern at all, because I know and trust in God and have experience with God and that replaces fear of man and what man might do to me. And if fearful thoughts do come, I know to pray immediately, putting my trust in God and doing that which HE brings to my mind.
God has already prepared me to deal with that which they threaten to do today!
And I know by the Bible what God is preparing to bring upon this present earth.
God knows future and reveals to us many things which are going to happen so we can be ready and God even makes events happen in our lives to give us that which we are going to need in the days ahead.
We know we can rest in God and stay ourselves on that which HE has already given us and in HIS Word which shows us what to do on this earth.
And God's word to us and HIS preparation will never fail us.
"In the days of famine we will even be satisfied for God has prepared us ahead of the famine."

We are anchored in God's word to us and we will not be destroyed with the masses who have only wisdom of man and jump one way and then, with the next puff of news, another.
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD (the word of God); and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I've been working diligently on transforming my life by that which the apostle Peter said to do and how to live as we wait for the return of Jesus:
2 Peter 3:10-14 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.
