The antichrist is already visible in the churches

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In 1982, God said to me:  "Kenneth Copeland is antichrist."

I sat and shook ...

It was right there in my own "neighborhood" ... His mother was a close friend of mine.

When I returned from Europe in December, 1980, there were 3 people waiting for me at airport:  Barbara Boykin, Lilly Mc Bride, Vinita Copeland (Kenneth Copeland's mother) ...

This shows how much she thought of me ...

Two years later, I am told by God that her son is antichrist.

(At that time, we were thinking "one" antichrist, not many antichrists.)

Certainly Copeland is one "antichrist" as is the Catholic pope and many other ministers, large name ministers and relatively unknown ministers, for all who depart from specific scripture and preach something else are antichrist and this is the apostasy/falling away of II Thess. 2

In the church I attended when I was first born again in 1975, they thought Henry Kissinger was the antichrist.

But the truth is antichrist would come through the churches and there would be many antichrists, not just one.

Antichrist was not one man but a spirit that would come into man to make man "as god" so he could do whatever he wanted to do in the religious circles and be approved regardless of the scriptures.

In the first days of the New Testament church, the apostle John said there were already "many" antichrists.

I Jn. 2 ... 18 Little children, it is the last time:and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

The shocking thing to me is this:  I now see that all these things that I've witnessed in the churches for more than 35 years, all the wrong speaking by various pastors and ministers, has been the apostasy that has to come to the churches before Jesus can return. 

This had to happen "first" before Jesus could return, says the apostle, Paul.

II Thess. 2 (NASB) ... 1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so- called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

The apostasy was held back, sin was restrained in the days of Paul and John, but now it has moved in, in our time! 

The masses of society and the church groups themselves have joined together to approve sin.

That is the apostasy ... that is the lawless that we see today.

That means Jesus could return anytime for the dead in Christ and for those living who have held fast to scripture and the doctrines of the Bible even in the midst of the lawlessness of today's church groups and big-time ministers.

The apostle Paul saw apostasy in the church coming ...

Paul said after he was removed from this earth, it would come into the church ...

Acts 20 ... Paul says ...  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.

Apostasy (falling away from scripture) crept into one church after another until today we have reached the point we cannot find a truly godly church group to attend.

We have to come away and find another individual who still believes in all the scriptures and gather with him, often by phone and by email, for mostly we can't find these individuals in the city where we live.

It is a terrible time today ... this certainly set stage for Jesus' return ... and for the truly godly to be taken out, taken off this earth.

I Thess. 4 ...  13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
 
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep (dead). 

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The kingdom of Jesus will not be on this present earth.

II 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. 

Rev. 21 ... 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 

Jesus is coming for the true church ... and the wrath of God is coming for the ungodly churches and for the ungodly world.

Cling to the Holy Scriptures and be spared from the evil

In John 17, Jesus prayed to God and said ... 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them:I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:those that thou gavest me I have kept,

... 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  

When we are given a word from God and believe that word, we end up being "kept" by that word.

Here is an example of this.

Testimony of Pam Padgett:

Several years ago I became engaged to marry a man named Chuck.  Chuck said he was a Christian.  He had three grown children from a previous marriage.  He and his first wife divorced after she began having an affair with another man.  (Since his wife had been unfaithful, I believe he was free to re-marry, according to scripture, although a woman is not free to re-marry even if her husband has been unfaithful ... 1Corinthians 7:10 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.)

I had a strong desire to be married, and had ignored and kept quiet about things that troubled me.  

A few days before we planned to be married, Joan (apostle/prophet) and Barbara in our little church group each contacted me saying they were very troubled about this marriage.  I took these warnings very seriously, and we postponed the wedding.  I also prayed diligently about the entire matter. 

Then one day Chuck and I were talking on the telephone and he mentioned that his grown son who was in the army and stationed in Germany had called to say he was engaged to be married.  The woman he was engaged to marry was divorced.  I told Chuck that this marriage was against what we're told in the Bible, that his son would commit adultery by marrying a divorced woman.  Chuck got very quiet and we soon ended the conversation.  

Matthew 5:32 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. 

Although we usually spoke on the telephone or emailed each other every day, after I spoke against his son's marriage Chuck called me only once and that was a brief call while I was at work.  Something was not right.  After a few days I arranged to meet him so we could talk.  During that talk it came out that he no longer wanted to marry me.  My speaking against his son's marriage had stopped our engagement.  

It was very hard for me to comprehend what had happened.  But as I drove away, I heard from the Holy Spirit "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers".  Immediately I saw that although Chuck said he was a Christian, he was really an unbeliever, for he didn't believe the word of God in which we're told that a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

God delivered and kept me as I believed and spoke HIS word.  

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 

for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Today I have no doubt that had I married Chuck, it would have been a very terrible and hard situation.  I would have been continuously troubled by what Chuck and his children said and did, and there would have been problems as I held to what God has told us since Chuck didn't believe and became upset with me when I spoke up about these things.  I am so thankful I did not marry Chuck.  

Divorce/Remarriage: What Bible says

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Jesus says:  Mt. 5:32 ... 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.

3 forms of adultery:

- The husband who divorces the "faithful wife" will be the cause of the faithful wife's adultery when she remarries after divorce.

- The faithful wife will commit adultery if she remarries after divorce.

- The man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Paul explains the following as "the commandment of the Lord" for the New Testament Church.

I Cor. 7 ...  10 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.

Paul is speaking to the New Testament Church by the commandment of God when he speaks the above scripture telling the woman not to leave her husband but if she does leave she must remain unmarried or return to her husband.

The divorced woman is not to remarry.

Some churches teach she can remarry if her husband has committed fornication.  This is not what the Bible teaches us.  I Cor. 7:10-11 makes that very clear.

It will sound wrong to the natural mind to think there are different rules for men and for women in Bible... but there are.  (Consider hair length for example.  I Cor. 11)


If the wife is unfaithful, husband can put her away (divorce her) and if so, husband can remarry.

But there is no place in NT where we see a scripture saying the wife can remarry after divorce.  Scriptures tell us if the wife remarries after divorce, she commits adultery. 

Romans 7 ...   1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 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.

Some churches say, "We're not under the law in the NT church."

Didn't the apostle Paul know that when he wrote these scriptures?


Consider again:   I Cor. 7:10-11... 10 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.

The wife is free from "this law" if her husband is dead. (Romans 7:1-3)  Then the wife can remarry, "but only in the Lord." 

I Cor. 7 ...  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.

Zechariah 11 ... Viewing the works of God through scripture

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled:
a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

4 Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 

6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 

9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. 

12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. 

14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Dreams From God: Chapter 6 / Book available at amazon.com

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

God Instructs Us Through Dreams

After my mother died, a cousin tried to get me to move to the city where she and her husband and 2 adult sons lived. She said the sons would be such help to us as we got older.

But God gave me a dream showing me that I could not go through my cousin's house. I had to find another way to go. So I did not move to the city with my cousin but went in opposite direction, 350 miles away.


Juliett Walton, a member of the body of Christ in our little church group, reported the following dream.

In this dream, each person in the church group, was given an assignment......handed an envelope. 

A man was first to receive his assignment. The rest of us watched to learn from him.

Others received their assignments.

The work was not difficult but once the assignments were started, they had to be continued to the end.

A woman stopped her assignment before completion. The reason was not shown.

I received my assignment and started to work on it.

It was not a struggle to do the work but was a struggle to complete the work.... to keep going.

I saw most of the people grow weary but most kept going. I was determined to keep going also.


This scripture was in my notes

Galations 6:9 

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I Timothy 6 ... Reading through the Bible

1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. 

These things teach and exhort.  3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
 
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
 
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 

13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
 
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
 
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 

Grace be with thee. Amen.

Proof that Jesus could return any time

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

II Thess. 2  (NASB) ...  1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so- called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 

Apostasy is defined as:  the abandonment or renunciation of a religious belief


Apostasy is departure from scripture or twisting of scripture making the instruction given by scripture and once held as "true" and "valid" to be no longer valid in the church.

KJV ... apostasy is called "falling away" ...


In l936, King Edward VIII in England was forced to abdicate the throne in England because he was determined to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorced woman.

In 1936, the church of England taught remarriage after divorce would be adultery.  The masses abided by the teaching of the church of England.

Edward went to parliament to try to get approval to marry Mrs. Simpson.  Parliament said the masses would never approve a divorced woman being Queen of England.  Parliament said they would all resign if Edward insisted on doing this.  So Edward abdicated the throne in December 1936 and married Mrs. Simpson in France after her divorce from her second husband became final. (See Wikipedia on Internet / Edward VIII)

By this event, we can see Bible doctrines still being upheld in religious teachings and among masses of people in a nation and by governments of men (parliament in England) in 1936 ...

Mt. 5:32, Jesus said:  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.

In 1940, in USA, sins of adultery, fornication, homosexual/lesbian and other sins cited in Bible, were committed but not approved by the masses.  Morality of the masses was closer to teaching of Bible.

2016 in USA and many countries, sins that were forbidden in 1940, are not only being sanctioned but any public figure who dares to call these acts "sin" is in danger of strong action being taken against him ... Approval of sin is not only sanctioned by masses but is required.

Today, in the churches, so many scriptures which were once held to have been either completely renounced and a new set of rules set up to approve sin in the congregation ... or the churches just stop mentioning scripture such as the following words of Jesus in Mt. 5:32... "whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."

What we are seeing today in the churches is the apostasy which sets up the return of Jesus, and the wrath of God that is to come upon this world in the end of this world. 

The apostasy has taken place in the various churches and is taking place right now, today, in the churches as they have fallen away from many scriptures once held as "sacred".

The lawlessness today inside the churches sets the stage for the return of Jesus where HE takes out those who have held fast to the Bible in the midst of lawlessness against the Bible.

Now there is also a "unification" program where many Christian ministers are meeting with Catholic church to agree and have unity.  But no one repents, not the Catholic pope and certainly not the Christian ministers who seek this unity with Catholic pope.   This is the apostasy of the Bible where scriptures are changed and people are approved in their sins because there is no longer the restraint of the Bible.

There is nothing we can do but come out of those church groups when they have cast aside scripture and have set up "another doctrine" in place of those scriptures.

We have to find other individuals who have Holy Spirit and speak with them often by phone or in homes, when possible.  We cannot continue to sit in apostate church groups.  To do so will bring God's judgment upon ourselves.

II Thess. 2 (KJV) ...  10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   

II Thess. 2 ... NASB... the apostle Paul says ...5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 

Paul was telling us that in HIS day there were already antichrists among them.

Antichrist was not one person.  Antichrist is a spirit that man allows to come into his heart.  It is a spirit that takes that individual away from the ordinances of God cited by the Holy Bible and sets up new rules opposing various scripture or explaining away various scriptures.

Antichrist was in many people even in the first days of the New Testament church.

The apostle John said ...  

I Jn. 2 ... 18 Little children, it is the last time:and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

The apostles, Peter, John, Paul were restraints against those person who would bring perversions into the church.  But Paul said the following ... Acts 20 ... 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.

We certainly see that even in 1936 there was some truth in the doctrines being spoken in the church for they held to the doctrine that man could not marry the divorced woman so King Edward VIII had to abdicate the throne of England to marry a divorced woman.

Church doctrines gradually changed through the decades with scripture being omitted entirely or twisted to allow sin to take place in the congregation ... The apostasy ... the "falling away" from scripture by church group.

Examine your own church group.  A very good test is this:  Do they still teach the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  I've never heard this taught in a church group.  It is just omitted and they keep silent about this subject but each church group I've attended since 1975 when I was born again has approved men who marry divorced woman.

The apostasy is happening right now in the church groups.  

Jesus could return for HIS followers, those who uphold the scriptures ... this return of Jesus could happen any time now.  

Hold fast to scriptures.  Keep doctrines of Bible before you.  Surround yourselves, your minds daily with Bible and godly exhortations.

Cling to the Holy Scriptures ... Doing the instructions of Bible can save you from this unlawful church generation and can separate you from the apostate church.

When the restraints are removed

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The apostle Paul says when the restraints are removed, the lawless ones will be able to flaunt their sins openly.

II Thess. 2 (NASB) ... Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 

3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so- called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 

The "apostasy" (KJV "the falling away) has already come to our church groups.  This is the changing of scripture or omitting of scripture in the church gatherings which allows sin to come into the congregation.

For example:  When was the last time you heard the following scripture preached at a church group?

Mt. 5:32 ... Jesus said ...  whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Churches today even set up "singles classes" to allow people to meet and marry ... many in these singles classes are divorced women seeking "Christian" mates, hoping to remarry.

Paul said the following is the commandment of the Lord for the New Testament church ...

I Cor. 7 ...   10 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.

The apostasy/falling away in the church groups is the omitting of scripture such as the above to permit sin to enter the congregation.

I once attended a dinner at a university.  Seated next to me was a man who was wearing the largest cross I have ever seen around his neck.  He identified himself as former pastor at Indiana Street Baptist Church.

He began talking:  He said, "We have such a problem at the church.  We have so many people attending that we can't seat everyone.  We have enlarged the main room several times and still more come and it is filled again." 

I replied.  "If you began preaching what Jesus said in Mt. 5:32, ' whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery'   about 1/2 of the congregation would leave and you wouldn't have a problem seating the people."

The congregation will grow in size when scripture is omitted or when scripture is explained away to permit violators of scripture to come into the congregation and feel approved in the various sins they continue to commit.

Consider this:  the apostle Paul says ...  

I Cor. 5 ...11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.    

Jn. 8 ... Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery ... "Go and sin no more."

This woman who had been forgiven would no longer be able to commit adultery.  Now she would have to live another way, a way according to the Bible.

Jesus once healed a blind man, and after the man was healed Jesus said:  Jn. 5:14 ... Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.  


Jesus removed sin from us ... Jesus did not approve sin ... We were freed from sin so that we could serve God.  You cannot be a servant to sins and serve God.  Romans 6

The apostasy in the churches today makes sinners feel approved in their sin so there is no repentance from that sin.  They can come to church and feel good about themselves.

Restraint has been removed from the church by changing or eliminating scripture.  This allows lawlessness into the congregation.  This is the apostasy/the falling away (churches falling away from Bible).

Antichrist reigns in the heart of man when this happens.


II Thess. 2 (NASB) ... Paul says ...

5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.  

8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one (antichrist) whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Antichrist comes into "the temple of God."  

Paul says ... I Cor. 6 ... 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
 
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Antichrist moves "into the temple" showing himself that he is god... doing what suits him rather than obeying the instructions given us by God through HIS Spirit in the Bible.

Therefore "antichrist" is a spirit that operates in the heart of men and women in the churches.

Antichrist operates through leaders of the church, pastors and such, when they speak as they will and will not correct themselves by the Holy Scriptures.  (I've encountered this many times in church groups.)  

Antichirst is also in the members of the congregation when they go along with sins. 

The apostasy in the churches is happening right now.  This had to happen before Jesus could return for HIS people.

And what should we do?  

We leave those churches where sins are approved and accepted without repentance.  We get with those persons who have the Holy Spirit.  We speak with them by phone, assembling with them, often by phone or emails.  Jesus said: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Mt. 18:20

More than once, I have heard Christians say:  "I can't find a church to attend.  It is so watered down.  There is nothing there." 

I can't find a church to attend either.  There is so much error spoken by the pastor.  Each time I have attended, (Baptist, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, and various non-denominational churches) I have gone to pastor after I have heard the error and have talked with pastor.  I've never yet seen any of these pastors repent nor show any shame over misquoting of Bible.   

This is simply "antichrist" in the churches, in the pastors ... anti (opposite) to Christ, to the Word.

What we must do following:

Heb. 10 ...  23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 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. 

We assemble ourselves with other individuals who desire to build their lives on the world of God.

And we must read even more Bible daily and we read "godly exhortations" daily, filling our minds with the pure Word of God.

That is the purpose of these books (see Joan Boney on amazon.com), to exhort the church today in the ways of God, to restablish doctrine from Bible in our hearts and in our minds.

If you allow yourself to hate, it will be much harder for you to pray

(This exhortation will be reprinted weekly between now and November.  It might help someone.)


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The apostle Paul instructed ...

I Tim. 2 ... 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

If we involve ourselves in this USA presidential election and jump on a bandwagon and hate and fight the other candidate, we have moved back into this world.

Have we forgotten the Bible?

Jn. 18:36 ... Jesus says:   My kingdom is not of this world:if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews:but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Col. 3 ...  1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

II 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.  

There will never be "righteousness" on this present earth.  Paul said ... 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Tim. 3

We will never see righteousness on this present earth.  It is the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth rightousness.  (II Peter 3)

John told us about the new heaven, the new earth, the new Jerusalem ... in the following scripture:

Revelation 21 ...  1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:for the former things are passed away.
 
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write:for these words are true and faithful.
 
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second death. 

I Cor. 6 ...  9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you:but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 

We who belong to God have another way, a way not like the people of this present world.

We are commissioned by God through the Holy Scriptures to live in peace as we await for Jesus.

You cannot live in peace if you allow yourself to depart from these scriptures and join this world, focused on men of this world and their actions.

I Jn. 5 ...  19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Our hope is in God and remains in God.  And we must deliberately focus on things of God, on HIS truths.

I think the current US presidential race is interesting and it excites the flesh for it is very different.  But there will be much hatred spread over the coming days.  

If I choose to listen to the hatred, I might be caught up in the hatred.

When it is all over, if the one elected is called to my mind by God, I hope to remember to pray according to I Tim. 2.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Daniel 4:25 ... The most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever HE will. 

Zechariah 10 ... Viewing the works of God through scripture

1 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 

5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

(When God is with you, the following applies.)

Isaiah 54:17  

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Zechariah 10

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.

(They had been taken in the captivity of 70-years which God appointed by the king of Babylon.  They were removed to captivity because of disobedience to God.  We also see captivity today when people of God refuse to hear God and choose their own way.  Devils move in and take them captive when they do this and also humans prosper over them and rule over them.  It is a terrible thing.)

7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.

11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.

God Comforts Us With Dreams

When I built the house in Lubbock, the contractor fired his bookkeeper during the construction. As a result there were some expenses we did not expect. When he gave me the bill, I was shocked. I told him to just put the house on the market. I couldn't pay for those extra expenses.

During this time God gave me a dream to show me what would happen:

In this dream, a meteor was outside my kitchen window. It was just "standing" there. Then it lifted and went over the house. I was waiting for the explosion which would blow the house and me away. But nothing happened.

Also I was given a scripture as follows:

Isaiah 65 ... And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 

23They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 

While it looked as if I would lose the house, this did not happen. God showed me to borrow the money for the extra expenses from one of our church members who offered the money without my asking for money. I did borrow from her and within 6 months had fully repaid her.

I Timothy 5 ... Reading through the Bible

1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
 
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 

8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
 
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
 
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
 
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 

19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
 
21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 

22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
 
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
 
24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. 25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

What do we do in the midst of the sin of this world?

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The apostle Paul says to Timothy ... 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.  I Tim. 4

Toward the end, before the return of Jesus, Jesus warns us:

Mt. 24:12-13 ...  12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

To endure in the midst of all the sins we are seeing today and in all the approval of sins, we must take even greater effort to surround our minds by the reading of Bible and the reading of godly exhortations.

(For this reason, to help the church in these evil times, we have written 13 ministry books available on amazon.com ... see "Joan Boney" for listing, description of books, and pricing... available in e-books instantly and in paperback large print, shipped all over the world through Amazon)

There are many times in evening, I turn off TV for I know it will not edify me in ways of God ... and I go to my bedroom and read these ministry books for they are filled with information about way of God, scriptures showing various doctrines, and words from God which build and help sustain faith in God.


We must make diligent effort.

Paul once told Timothy:

I Tim. 4 ...  7 But refuse profane (secular) and old wives 'fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little:but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Spiritual exercises:  reading and thinking about the application of Bible and godly exhortations into your life.  Continuing in the instruction of God.  Reproving the doctrine of God.  Making changes to our lives as needed to conform us to way of God.  

There is a daily need for us to exercise ourselves in ways of God.

Aren't the days on this earth growing more evil?  This shows the eminent return of Jesus for the church.  This open wickedness must happen before Jesus returns.  Wickedness proceeds the wrath of God at the end.  The cup of evil must be full before the wrath.  And it is very obviously filling before our eyes.

As never before, sin is being approved and flaunted before us in this world.

Why?  Because now the homosexuals/lesbians ... adulterers/fornicators ... feel safe and approved by society so they can do their various sins openly, before all ... they once did these sins in secret.  Now they feel freedom to sin before all.

In 1936, the king of England, renounced his thrown so he could marry a divorced woman.  What does this show us?  In that short time, the sin has been eliminated by the thinking of the world at large.   

At that time, Bible still had a carry over into parts of the world.  

Jesus says:  whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.  (Mt. 5:32)

In 1936, King Edward VIII went to parliament to try to get it approved for him to marry a divorced woman.  Parliament said the English people would not accept a divorced woman as queen of England.

What would they do in 2016? 

In USA it is getting to point where "anything goes" ... and anyone who stands up against the sins will be persecuted.

Even in the manly field of USA football, players who have spoken out against homosexuals have been greatly chastised by the ruling body of the NFL.  One player was suspended for an entire year because of his objection to an homosexual team mate.

Now if anyone dares to speak out in public against sins such as homosexuals, that person often apologizes the following day and retracts his objection.

In 2016, the US Navy announced they will name a new ship for a homosexual man who was first to announce his homosexuality before he was elected to a political office.  This man was former navy.  He is being lauded and praised today by US Navy.  At one time, not so long ago, homosexuals were kept out of military service.  Then the military, under pressure, instituted the "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy.  Now open homosexuals are praised for their "courage" in telling they are homosexual.

In case anyone doubts, here is what God has to say about homosexuals/lesbians in the Bible.

Romans 1 ...  24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

(We must keep our minds renewed to that which God says for that is what matters.)

Thus sin becomes "without restraint" and sinners feel approved in various sins.

Don't they feel "peace and safety" today as never before?

And what does the Bible say about this?

I Thess. 5 ... 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (The WORD), 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Zechariah 9 ... Viewing the works of God through scripture

1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord. 

2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. 3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Prophecy of coming of Jesus Christ.)

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

Several years ago, I had the following dream:  Some men were sitting around a table where they were examining very precious stones.  Then one man said, "Then it is settled ... let's go help her."  

I felt these "men" were angels of God sent to help the church who are very precious stones.

God Shows Us The Truth Through Dreams

In 1979, I had a terrifying dream and like Daniel I was upset several days over this dream and at first I didn't know what the dream meant.

In the dream, a meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a group of people and one chair was vacant on an aisle. I went into the room and sat down and began listening to the man who was speaking.

A second man rushed into the room and went to the front of the room and said: "Stop ... wait ... can't you see ... it's too late ... it's already begun."

After he said that, I looked out the window to see what was happening.

There was a tall, yellow civil defense type warning speaker and out of it was coming a poisonous gas which I knew would kill us.

The shocking thing was the gas was coming from our own speaker which was supposed to warn us. Instead it was poisoning us.

I looked at the man sitting next to me. He was sitting up in his chair looking directly at the man who was speaking. His eyes were open. He had big smile on his face ... but he was already dead ... he was a corpse!

I looked around the room and saw all the people who were listening to the man who was speaking were dead. And as I sat there listening, I felt myself beginning to fall asleep.

It was many months before I understood what this dream meant.

I was at a Wednesday night service at the church I attended at the time of this dream. All of a sudden, it felt like I was surrounded by dead people. Everything felt dead to me. The people looked like they did in that poison gas dream.

I got up and went to Ladies Room and began talking to God. I said to God, "I think YOU are showing me to leave this church group. I'm going to get into my car and drive away but if you want me to return I will."

(The church group was Word of Faith, Robert Tilton, pastor.) 

God didn't want me to return. HE began showing me some serious errors in doctrine being preached at that church. And then I realized this was an example of the poison gas dream. The speakers who should have been warning us were killing us with their doctrines. And if I sat there among them, I would fall asleep and die.

Since that time, I've seen many church groups like this. They fail to correct the people. They teach a type of "I'm OK, you're OK" doctrine. And as a result of no correction, the people in the congregation fall asleep.

And I have seen preachers even add things to the Bible. Each time I witnessed this, I would go to the preacher (in private) and show him the Bible and he would not correct himself. He just got angry with me and tried to accuse me. I've never yet seen a preacher correct himself when he was speaking things not in the Bible.

A prophet once told me she would go in to speak to groups at churches and she knew the message would cause them to be angry so she would speak for several minutes about other things and lead up to the message. As she spoke leading up to the message she noticed the people in the congregation seemed to be asleep. But when she began the warning message, they awoke and got mad at her.


They ran Jesus out of town because of the message he was speaking. Lk. 4 ... concerning Jesus ... And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29And rose up, and thrust HIM out of the city, and led HIM unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast HIM down headlong. 30But HE passing through the midst of them went HIS way,

They did same to Peter and Paul.

And when we speak those things given us by God, we will often find a type of persecution.

But it is the job of a real minister of Christ to speak truth of God, warning the people to turn from ways of the flesh and ways of corruption and to return to the way of God in the Bible.
