If we speak of what we have done, we glorify ourselves.
But if we speak of that which God has done or that which God has said to us, we glorify God!

On August 5, 1975, God said to me: "Joan ... you know those mistakes you've been making all these years? Those weren't mistakes. Those were sins."
I was shocked! and horrified.
And this caused me to be born again!
💥💥💥
A few nights after this, I was asleep in the night when God transported me into "heaven".
I was with God and Christ and The Holy Spirit. (I saw no images. It was a spiritual experience.)
At that time, I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
And a few nights later, the exact same thing happened again.
I was really on fire for Bible and things of God after this. All I wanted to do was hear about God or talk to other people about God.
I owned a small business at the time this happened but I had no interest at all in my business any more. I just wanted to be with other Christians and go to church and read Bible.
(I thought this happened to everyone who was born again.)
💥💥💥
One day, I was having breakfast with my young friend Bill. He had been a Catholic and was born again about 6 months before this happened to me. All he wanted to talk about was God. I thought Bill was crazy ... until this happened to me.
(Bill had the personality of a big Saint Bernard puppy.)
He was gobbling down his food almost without taking a breath.
I said, "Bill ... you're right. This thing of being a Christian is great! What I like best is that thing that happens to you in the night."
Without stopping eating, Bill said, "What thing?"
I replied, "I don't know what it's called ... It is when you are taken into heaven and you are with God and Christ and the Holy Spirit ... and you are merged into the body of Jesus ... made one with the Word of God."
Bill had become frozen ... He was no longer shoveling his food into his mouth ... In fact, he was motionless and seemed to not be breathing at all.
(This was my clue that this didn't happen to everyone who became a Christian!)
Bill repeated: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ... Have you told Donna about this?"
I replied: "I haven't told any body about this! I thought it happened to everyone who became a Christian."
He said, "It didn't happen to me!"
(Donna was my best friend who had been raised Baptist. I did tell her and she was no help at all! She just sat there crying with joy!)
It was years before I mentioned it to anyone again. Even after I was on radio, I never told anyone at church about this. I never told my pastor. And I never told our Sunday school teacher who had become one of my best friends.
I was reading a book about Exodus and the author mentioned that when you are called by God for a ministry, sometimes God will do an unusual thing in your life. I thought that might be the case in my being transported into heaven twice.
And I read the following scripture which seemed to pertain.
I 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.

God began teaching me Bible.
HE took me all over both the Old and New Testaments but especially all sections concerning prophets. I saw those things the prophets did and the persecutions that came when they delivered the message from God to the religious people.
I learned clearly that prophets were sent by God "To the church." ... not to the world.
Ezekiel 2
2 And the spirit entered into me when HE spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard HIM that spake unto me.
3 And HE said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against ME: they and their fathers have transgressed against ME, even unto this very day.
4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, "Thus saith the Lord GOD."
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 And thou shalt speak MY words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And HE spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
For five years, between 1975-1979, God taught me Bible.

God taught me about Deborah:
Judges 4
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee:

And God drew my attention to the 4 daughters of Philip the evangelist. They did prophesy.
Acts 21:8-9 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Prophecy is for the church. To prophesy, these 4 daughters would have to speak to the church.
I asked God: What about what Paul said about let your women keep silence in the churches?
God said to me: "Look at what those women were doing."
I Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
When I re-read this, I felt these women were interrupting the gathering of the church by asking questions.
I've seen women do this and had I been in charge, I would have stopped them as Paul obviously stopped the women at this church.
And God reminded me of Anna, a prophetess.
Acts 2
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant (that they brought the baby Jesus into the temple) gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of HIM to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

The New Testament church has 5 ministry offices:
Ephesians 4:8;11-12 Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
* Multiple (some) apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers.
* Pastors and teachers are separate offices not "one office" as some teach. Paul was apostle, preacher, teacher ... but not "pastor" ... This shows us that pastor and teacher are not one office.
I Timothy 1:11 (Paul says) Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
* Paul was not the "last" apostle as many churches today are teaching. They even say there are no more apostles today in the churches. And those churches think nothing of setting up doctrines opposite to Bible. They are the end time churches of the apostasy, antichrist.
Paul was not the 12th apostle, replacing Judas. The 12th apostle was a man named Matthias.
Acts 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Matthias was the 12th apostle. Paul was persecuting the Christians at the time Matthias was selected to be the apostle replacing Judas. (Acts 1:15-26)
Where does Paul fit? He was one of the first of the New Testament apostles who were appointed by Jesus from heaven.
Acts 26:14-18 (Paul explains to king Agrippa) And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art THOU, Lord? And HE said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in ME.
15 And I said, Who art THOU, Lord? And HE said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in ME.

Bob Tilton was pastor at the church I attended from approximately 1977-1982, Word of Faith church.
I never told anyone at that church that I had been transported into heaven twice and merged twice into the body of Jesus. I never told them God had shown me I was to be a minister.
One Sunday morning, Bob made the following announcement from the pulpit. "Joan Boney is not called to be a teacher. She is a prophetess."
Also God had told me this: "I have called you and set you into the body of Christ as an apostle."
"APOSTLE," I questioned. "What's an apostle?
Word of Faith church professed to believe there are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers in the ministry according to Ephesians 4:11-12. But we had no apostles at Word of Faith.
I went to our Bible teacher and asked him, "Who are the apostles at this church?" He replied, "I don't know."
Then I asked, "What do the apostles do in the church today?" He replied, "I don't know."
So God had to teach me what apostles do in the NT church today.
God took me to Acts 15 to show me the work of apostle.
There was a dispute and question in the early church. "Did the Gentiles have to be circumcised to enter the NT church?"
The apostles and elders came together to settle the issue.
Acts 15
After much disputing, men such as Peter and Paul spoke, sharing both history of the nation and their experiences with God and the Gentiles.
Then the apostle James said:
Acts 15
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom MY name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all HIS works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
With this, the doctrine concerning this matter was established for the New Testament church.
God showed me NT apostles consider doctrine for the NT church and help the churches today to establish those doctrines by the Bible and the experiences of the apostles and the history shown in the Bible.
For example: Hundreds of years ago God showed prophets such as Isaiah, Joel, Amos what would happen in the days of The Great Tribulation at the end of this world. We consider what these prophets said as we establish doctrines concerning the end of this present world.
NT apostles today in the churches have a special anointing to help establish the doctrines of Christ in the church. We often speak of the scriptures concerning such things as divorce/remarriage, homosexuals/lesbians, fornication and proper Biblical foundations for Christians as they live in today's world.
Apostate churches today have departed from many doctrines of Christ of the Bible. We present the proper doctrines and encourage individuals to live by these doctrines.
💥 Divorce and remarriage:
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.
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: 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.
(We do not live by the Law of Moses in the NT church today but Paul speaks of living by the Law of God for the NT church as is written in the New Testament Bible.)
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.
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.
Mark 10 (Jesus says)
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Churches today, for the most part, have stopped teaching the doctrines of Christ and have set up other doctrines which permit men to marry divorced women, and permit many forms of divorce and remarriage in the church to allow their church members to please their own flesh.
(I've never heard some of the above scriptures taught in any church that I have attended in the past years.)
💥 Homosexuals & lesbians:
Romans 1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
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.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
💥 Fornication:
I Corinthians 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... 13 ... Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
I Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
I Corinthians 6:15-18 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.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.
(At the time of sexual intercourse the 2 become one flesh, even if sex is with a prostitute.)
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.
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.
(So many church groups today have fallen away from doctrines of Christ as presented in the New Testament Bible, and have set up other doctrines in their churches. These are apostate churches, churches of antichrist, in the end times.)
The only doctrine for the New Testament church today is the doctrine set forth in the New Testament Bible. Doctrines opposite to verses of scripture in the New Testament Bible are doctrines of antichrist.
When Jesus returns, HE will destroy this world and the apostate churches.
2 Thessalonians 2 (The apostle Paul says)
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(In 1982, while reading the above scripture, God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the church groups ... The falling away are the church groups leaving the scriptures.")
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
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.

* January 10, 1980 ... I was asleep in the night when God spoke (by an angel) 3 very loud trumpet like words into my ear: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS" ... by which God put me on radio to present exhortations to the body of Christ. In 5 days from hearing this, I was broadcasting on radio KWJS. Within a year, I was broadcasting on radio from "Hartford area to Seattle" as I was shown that night when HIS angel spoke to me.
* March 2012 ... In a dream, I was shown to start a blog, writing exhortations "daily" to the church on Internet.
* 2015 ... God by the Holy Spirit led me to begin writing a series of ministry books (e-books & paperback) on Amazon. Free books daily available all over the world.
* February 2020 ... In a dream, God showed me to present daily Podcasts of Biblical exhortations in writings and recordings speaking all over the world.
