  • If you or a loved one is battling an illness or chronic pain, ask God for his healing touch. But be sure to pray for courage, endurance and hope as well. Even more than changing your physical problems, God wants to transform your heart!

    Its always a good morning when I see your bright smile and a Joyful Word of encouragement from the Lord! Thank you,,,, even when I wake up in utter pain and have to work through it to just get started, you remind me to pray the 80/20 way of prayer! thank you,,,I will focus more on this path rather than the 80% whining about my pain and few % on other things. I know that its hard to pray like that when you awake to level 9 or 10 on the scale of pain, but I am hopeful that I can push through with the Lord's help...Have a great day,,,,,Susan

    Thank you Joni,
    my cancer has come back and I just confessed to a sister in the Lord that I had never had enough faith to ask Jesus to totally supernaturally heal me. HE HAS GIVEN ME HIS STRENGHT AND CALMNESS. YOUR 80% REALLY GUIDED ME. HE HAS BEEN DRAWING MY FAMILY CLOSER TOGETHER IN LOVE AND PATIENCE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON AND OUT OF APPENDIX CANCER SINCE AUGUST OF 2014! XOXOXO

    Yes, Joni, Having had 2 disabling diseases for 35 years-now I am 60, God has brought me through many times as you, death defying times. I also pray for Him to have the glory in it all. I am an RN. that will never change. What I go through, my first thought is for others going through it also, and how they can be helped. I support your ministry and pray for you. I know that this side of Heaven --I will not be healed, unless God directly intervenes. That is not my main concern and never has been. It was when Iived in the hospital for months at a time, for me to be cooperative and kind to the caregivers, as I know their side all too well, to say "Good Morning, how are you?" To live out God's love in the ways I was able and to listen to their problems and give my testimony. I am now home bound and rarely get out. I miss the fellowship of believers at church, although I have many friends I keep in touch with. Thankfully Covid did not come to our house. I live with my oldest son and his family. I am thankful and I often fail, but I try to live each day so that God will have the glory.

    I love you Ms. Joni. He's still workin'. A lot happening in His love. The blessing that lies before us, the harvest in His resting place and all the word yet unspoken. The presentation as we continue to step forward is an amazing one. I love the bond with Christs love.. It will happen. As alot is being released and prayers offered. The power of God has yet to become a disappointment. Just wait... Sometimes in His silence....
    Its the waiting in the purity in His love.... Its worth it. You look amazing mama! God bless you always! The good stuff....lol as you are. And thank you for being an encouraging word

I’m going through the toughest trail at this time and God has used you tremendously already. I’m not disabled physically but God has put me in a position where I cannot do anything about the situation. Well, I just wanted to let you know and wanted to thank HIM and thank YOU. 🌸

    Thank you for sharing sister Joni!! Even in the physical stuff I deal with, with the tremors, back and neck trouble, I find it is my heart, mind, and emotions that are in greatest need of God's touch and healing. These videos have been and continue to be such a great blessing to me, a source of comfort, strength, and encouragement, for which I am so thankful. Sister Joni, I know it's not been an easy path and journey for you, but I want to say Thank You for being available to God to be a vessel He could use. Yes, it's all God's grace, but you were and are willing to receive and accept it and allow God to work His grace in, with, and through you. Thank You for giving your availability to the Lord! God bless you sister Joni, you are in my prayers❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
