    What a deep and powerful message.. Jesus brought me here to listen to this.. what an encouragement again..
    Joni has been a role model for me and, over the years, became my favorite teacher when it comes to suffering.. The presence of Jesus resonates from her..
    As I have to deal with chronic pain every day for more than 40 years, Jesus gives me the greatest comfort when I listen to Joni's teaching.. it's authentic from experience.. it's completely honest..
    And yes, even in a hospital, there are chances to throw a little seed here and there.. amidst the pain and all..
    I've experienced it again, as I went through a 2 week treatment at a pain unit in hospital recently..
    When I found Jesus 38 years ago at age 22, I preached to people, hoping to convince them.. bad mistake..
    Now I'm only a witness, talking about my own experiences I had with Jesus since I met Him, and about trustworthy people like Joni..
    Step by step, I'm learning to practice the Presence of Jesus..
    Thank you, Jesus, for Joni..
    Thank you, Joni, for speaking up for Jesus..
    ❤❤❤

      It's been awhile since I've listened to Joni, but something told me to listen tonight.......then I read your post. Your brokenness is much like mine - loss of my son, and husband, within the past nine years (illnesses), no contact with our son's three little boys, and an ongoing pain syndrome, (managable).
      Life just hurts......and I "want to go home, Lord", but Joni is always on my mind........Joni is what keeps so many of us just keeping on keeping on.
      My heart goes out to you, in your own pain.
      Living for Jesus, so we can SEE Jesus, someday, so hoping it's soon. 🙏 💦

      I to want to go home to Heaven. So much pain. It is crushing and hard to get through each day, but by Gods grace we get through each day.

    Joni saying that she should not be the exception, but the norm of a Christian life really resonates with me. As a relatively new Christian I see that most Christians around me do not live as followers of Christ. They believe in a philosphy, not the practice of the presence of Jesus. They love and serve when it is convenient and doesn't require truly the cost of following Jesus. My heart has been so heavy watching this.

      I pray for you, pati99, that JESUS will show Himself to you and give you such an encounter with Himself that you will surrender to Him and make Him your LORD and Saviour. Joni would much rather see that for you than have your support. Today is the Salvation. Don't put it off. Life is so short. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. Hugs to you, my friend.

      Thank you for your very personal comment on this video. There is no easy answer for facing a lifelong physical situation, especially when our prayers for healing go unanswered-or at least not answered in the way we might hope. I pray the Lord is able to meet you in your current situation.

    I respect Joni so much. I did feel concerned when I heard her say that God allowed her neck to be broken in response to asking for help with sexual sin. I really don’t think that’s how God corrects us. I think God allows for severe correction in situations where there is a hardness of heart, but Joni asking for God to help her, is evidence of a heart convicted and wanting to honor God. God is a good father, and that would be an abusive response. He disciplines us for our good but I think we should be careful in connecting painful things in our lives to God correcting us. That may or may not be true.

    Why, when Joni is sharing about how difficult and painful her condition currently is (around 2:50), did the interviewer (Wollen) SMILE?? Not one expressions of compassion or empathy. Just a smile. As if she were sharing about what a fun time she had eating ice cream yesterday. Really hard to watch that.

      ​ Granted that 'Religion" is strange; however, this "Faith" is a relationship with the knowable and living God the grantor of eternal life and the cost and debt for this eternal life is paid in full. Now by faith believe and receive - suffering for now - and eternal life forever more

      Religion tells you you are broken and has the cure. It's nonsensical.
