When something is of the Lord … no one is left wounded on sidelines. There are 3 people who are deeply wounded. Enough said. The Lord Will and always has the final say.

[@KingsDaughter1957]

Very well stated.

[@BeverlyMurphy-ii2wp]

marylara176. You got it. What has been going on here for FAR TOO LONG IS NOT OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY MANY MORE R WAKING UP TO THE "UN" TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANNNNNY MANNNNNY YRS & THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT. NO LONGER THIS HOUSE & THROUGH OUT THIS WORLD 🌎. JESUS IS "TURNING THE TABLES UPSIDE DOWN & THROWING OUT ALL THE MONEY EXCHANGERS FROM "THE FATHER'S HOUSE" BE AWARE BE ALERT REPENT OR THE SUFFERING WILL INTENSIFY "ALL GLORY & HONOR BELONG TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY". WE NOW SEE BACK PEDDELING IS BEGINNING NOT GOING TO WORK.HEARINGVA LOT ABOUT MARCUS/DAD. TO MUCH BACK PEDDELING NOT WORKING REPENT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SET YOU ALL FREE "TRUTH" 🤔 YA THINK 🤨🧐

[@roxymay3938]

This is not biblically accurate that “when something is of the Lord no one is left wounded on the sidelines.” I know of many accounts where this happened in scripture. Sometimes it looks wrong from our perspective and sometimes it seems the enemy is winning like when Joseph was put in a hole in the ground and all that happened to him but sometimes for God’s will to happen people have to go through things. Why did the Israelites have to be in slavery in Egypt? God foretold Abraham this wayyy before it happened. It’s best not to judge and let God do His job. Just keep loving God and loving people and always try and think the best of people. ❤

[@lovestodesign]

Actually there are more than 3 people directly hurt by this. Doug had a family too by his wife of 20+ years. No way this didn’t hurt them too.

[@lovestodesign]

@@roxymay3938 Just because things happened the way they did in the Bible doesn’t mean certain people weren’t guilty for MAKING them happen. Pharoah was STILL guilty. Joseph’s brothers were STILL guilty. Potiphars wife was STILL guilty….God took what they did and turned it around for good, but Gods purpose could have still come forth in OTHER, less hurtful ways. So it still doesn’t mean the acts of disobedience went unnoticed by God. God doesn’t just wink at sin, no matter what good might come out of it later on. Nothing should have come between Joni Lamb and her son. That role was promised to Johnathon all his life and Marcus, who expressed his desire for DayStar to be led by Johnathon, would be very hurt by this. Just because God can bring something good from it anyway doesn’t mean what Joni and Doug did was okay. Doug’s family was also hurt by this, he and his wife of 20+ years had children, too. But the ones hurt the most it seems are Johnathon and Suzy. If Joni wanted to marry Doug, which was wrong because he divorced his wife to do it, she still didn’t have to just hand the company over to him to run it. It should have been Johnathon’s and she betrayed her own son, and Marcuses wishes, to do it.

@@valiana1975 As I was approaching my son's hospital bed my son was suddenly lifted up by his shoulders and turned toward me. He had sight in his eyes and as I proceeded to walk to the other side of his bed and greeted him he was then gently laid back down with his eyes closed never to open again in this lifetime. When I looked at him lying there I saw a big tear running down his left cheek. I got a paper towel and wiped that tear away. While all this was happening I physically was not comprehending he was dying. He was received just a short time later. I believe there were angels there with him ready to take him to his eternal home. I am most grateful to Lord Jesus for all He has done in bringing me through this ordeal. I give Him all the glory.

My first grandson (I have four daughters) died when he was 5 from an aggressive strain of meningitis in 20013. I saw him healthy and hearty Saturday afternoon and he was found dead in his bed the following morning(mothers day). Two years ago my daughter (his mum) had a near death experience during emergency surgery. She found herself at the edge of a meadow and saw her son on the other side. He was older, taller and stockier and his blonde hair had turned brown. He was grinning at her from ear to ear. She went to walk towards him but he shook his head to signal 'no' and held his palm up. It wasn't her time to cross over. God bless you Tiernan. We all miss you but know we'll meet up again in Heaven 🙏

[@dianned1094]

[@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways]

​@michaelcunis8329 You're right. It is not in the Bible. Mark ‬ ‭10:2‭-‬12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ [2] And the Pharisees came to him (JESUS), and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. [3] And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? [4] And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. [5] And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. [6] But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. [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. [10] And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. [11] And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. [12] And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:1‭-‬3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ [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. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:1‭-‬2‬, 10-11 & 39 ‭KJV‬‬ [1] Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2] Nevertheless, to AVOID FORNICATION, let every man have his OWN wife, and let every woman have her OWN husband. [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. [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. Luke‬ ‭16:14‭-‬18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ [14] And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. [15] And he said unto them, Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is ABOMINATION in the sight of God. [16] The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. [17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. [18] Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth ADULTERY: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth ADULTERY. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be ONE FLESH. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:4‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ [4] Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and ADULTEROUS.

❤ Joni, you as a new widow, you were free to remarry in God’s timing…to someone that Almighty God had handpicked specifically just for you……. But the timing of you becoming re-involved with another man was far too short….you honestly needed to give yourself more time to walk through this journey of the deepest loss of your life! Your three children, Jonathan, Rachel and Rebecca desperately needed time to walk through the deep loss of their dad! It wasn’t long enough for them…not at all! And something that is extremely difficult for the countless people that have known you and Marcus, and your three children, and their families is that there wasn’t enough time to process the loss of Marcus and the ministry that you each had! And for you to have gotten involved far too soon with someone else, has been SO hard! Most of us do not understand the fact that you married Doug Weiss…since he used to share such strong statements of how great his marriage was to Lisa, and that it was not very long before he divorced her! Why is that??? The four of you were great friends with each other, hung out together! You knew each other really well! Jimmie Evans never gave the same time of day to an interview with Lisa, for her to share her deepest heart, as he did with Doug! Why not? And deeply sad is that Doug needed Time to walk through the deeply tragic divorce that he went through with his wife and children…a few years for sure! That didn’t happen, did it! No time wasted in connecting with Joni! Something doesn’t sit well with all of this! And we are really missing seeing your son Jonathan and Suzy, Israel and Ariel on your programs…with you Joni! It must be deeply hurtful and deeply difficult for Jonathan see his mom be in a relationship with someone other than his dad…someone who is obviously fully taken in with his mom…kissing her, being very affectionate publically, and emotionally not at all ready to see this! Can you not see this and understand their deepest heart in all of this? Your daughters must deeply feel this too… Your personal family are still grieving for Marcus…that takes TIME…..countless of us are deeply saddened and honestly don’t get it!

It concerns me that she married so quickly. Women can feel very vulnerable & alone at this time but it isn't the time to make life choices. Grieving properly takes time. Women are strong and you might find out how much you truly like being single. It's easy to find someone but the right one takes time.

[@joycemullane5337]

Agree! Any good counselor (Doug's a counselor!) will suggest you don't make any life changes for a minimum of one year after the death of a spouse or a divorce.

[@ebonysharee]

I talked to a marriage counselor before and she even mentioned that after a year most that are divorced begin dating again...although Joni's situation is a little different, it's actually quite common. Most of the time, what we think things should look like isn't what God is actually doing. That's what I have learned...He can expedite the grief process. I also believe someone like Joni who has this type of ministry, honestly shouldn't be without a spouse. Similar to a male pastor not being single. You could also think of it this way, Marcus probably wouldn't want Joni to be single for the rest of her life or not live an abundant life just because he is gone. Life has to be lived regardless if one loses their spouse. Also, if you watch one of the recent videos, God brought Doug into her life after a year and they had counsel around them during the courting phase.🙂

[@joangelaparker2845]

Also both Marcus and Joni knew Doug , he was on there show and also counseled them , so Doug knew what he was doing , if he were a Christian counselor and Christian man , he would had giving her ample time to grieve, heal , and get on her feet ,and far nothing take advantage of her weak self , if true , my mother was 39 yrs old when my father passed at 40 , left with four young children , house , cars , stay at home mother , and a Christian , I remember my grandmother came helped with us kids , for almost 2 years , but our mother put children first died 96 yrs old , never remarried, Doug left his wife to marry Joni , if they were so spilt in there marriage why didn’t he leave years ago there marriage, Doug and his wife were marriage counselors , come on can’t save ur own marriage , your in wrong business close the doors , fishy story there telling , truth will be revealed.

What he says seems fake, forced and I very uncomfortable watching the program. I honestly feel he needs to be off the set and the program he’s not made for it.

Agree 100%. He's obsessed with sex, exercise and himself. But the biggest issue I have with him is the statement he made "Jesus died on the cross so we can have great sex" when he was on Joni Table Talk (Sexless and Married / May 28, 2019). I find this statement to be disgusting and not something a man of character and integrity would say.

Correct. It's because he's an adulterer since he divorced his wide and remarried. Run from this and stay away from fake Christians who condone adultery.

Doug was married and he had opportunity to help his marriage recover. But joni became a reason to end his. Temptation attracted to his intention was stronger to divorce his wife. And something because of timeline her son Johnthan is not mentioned anymore. I think because of his absence the questions remain. We all sinned. David story is an exampled of taking matters into his own way. She ignores humbleness and truth. I want her to be happy. But. Doug Weiss is not going to be that happiness without facing the trouble that comes with his divorce. And denial of Lisa dential of 30 years and children and within months he let it go for the fitting part of biblical excused by Jimmy Evans a marriage counselor. Of course we all can find a way to make it happen...

We are not to judge but rather be fruit inspectors. By the fruits they shall be known. I am one to examine carefully all things. The only reason for saying anything about this matter is for other believers to see how wrong each one of.us.can be.when it comes to asking God for something. The enemy can deceive the most knowledgeable person. I heartly believe this. From my experience. Joni is a precious sister in Christ. Bottom line , she was free to marry afain. But Doug was not. God is the God ofnthe impossible. He could of brought reconciliation to his marriage with Lisa. 39 years and he gives am" condolence call to Joni". And adds by.the way I am divorce?". The whole matter isnt something God would.bring about. God isnt one to break up marriage. Why not allow Lisa to tell her side of what happen. Why isn't Johnthan and Susie around nor talked about and the grand kids. There need not to be a detail explanation. But the truth and Honesty is healing for all. I pray for God's way to make a way. For the whole situation to be put to rest.

Bah, who cares, we will just ask for forgiveness, right? That ANYONE would delight in this sham is clearly willful blindness. She turned comments off on her wedding video. Why? Because she knows how hurt Lisa (Doug's WIFE), her family and the rest of us see. Discernment is a gift. Joni is willfully dismissing that. I'm surprised she left comments on here.

[@mimaw1365]

My husband passed with Covid in early 2021. We were married 43 years and we both had Covid during our 43td anniversary. He passed away later that same month. My heart was broken into a million pieces! I’m still not over it and it’s been over 3 years. I’m so very lonely although I know the Lord is with me but I still feel so much loneliness. I still cry everyday because I miss my husband. He’s in heaven waiting for me I know. We served in ministry all our married life. Life is so different now. My dad passed away 9 months after my husband and my twin sister passed away last year but losing my husband has been the most difficult and painful thing I’ve ever gone thru. I’ve had 2 open heart surgeries and pacemaker put in but through all the surgeries and illness, nothing compares to my broken heart. I know Jesus is coming back very soon and I hold on to that hope when I will finally be whole again.

[@EternalifeservingGod]

Praise God for obvious that you are such loving wife !

[@hildamohlamonyane3587]

The pain is real and loosing a loved one is devastating however you decided to stay in your pain or Jesus to heal you completely. The Bible says we should not be like people who do not have knowledge about the people who passed on. Staying unmarried is not a sign that you loved them dearly but it’s a choice that everyone should respect. The Bible specifies when should people be listed in the widow list . If you are still young Marry than commit sin .

[@gailthornhill3299]

You'll be whole when you LET GO OF THE PAIN and SURRENDER TO JESUS. I say the following Scripture almost everyday - especially during this SPIRITUAL WAR we're fighting - and it always quiets my mind and heart: "Be anxious (worrisome, fearful) for NOTHING, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. and the PEACE of God, which transcends ALL understanding, WILL GUARD YOUR HEART and MIND in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 I was widowed more than 20 years ago (my husband was an alcoholic) and then remarried and divorced by a man who cheated on me twice. Most of my family is gone and the family I have left lives out of state. I am never lonely because Jesus is always with me. During COVID the Lord brought a wonderful man into my life. We just celebrated our third anniversary. (The man who cheated on me died a couple of years ago.) Here's our testimony on FB: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4486649271415496&id=100002114016416&sfnsn=mo Click on "Open in Browser" to hear the 10-minute video. I'm on FB - Gail Howell Westover or you can email me - [e-mail] If you're not on Facebook or you need help opening this link let me know. I would love to talk to you and encourage you. Your husband is having a GREAT time with Jesus! He is not sad and does not miss you. He LOVES you and he THINKS of you OFTEN. He and the Lord do NOT want you to be lonely. However, in order for you to be happy, you have to open your heart, surrender your pain and let the Lord fill you with his love, peace and joy. The Lord also may have someone else with whom to spend the rest of your life, but you will never be able to receive that person until you LET GO and SURRENDER your pain to Jesus. ❤✝️🙏

Donna, I know you believe the Rapture is coming really soon. However, the Lord isn't going to return until we have done OUR part. We must OCCUPY all 7 Mountains until He comes through the Great Awakening and Joel 2. He is going to pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh. Young men with dream dreams. Old men will see visions . . . We must lay hands-on the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead and mostly tell people about JESUS - the GREAT COMMISSION. God is waiting for the CHURCH to WAKE UP. He is cleansing the church from all the apostasy and apathy and SEPARATING the WHEAT from the CHAFF. He is EXPOSING the WOLVES in SHEPHERD'S clothing. The CHURCH needs to ENGAGE in POLITICS, ARTS and MEDIA, Economics, EDUCATION etc. Where are the pastors and the Christian parents in the battle for our kids' minds in the school system, college campuses and media? Because of the ABSENCE of the CHURCH our society - including the political, media and educational environments are corrupt and evil.

Covid was a very difficult time for hundreds of thousands. Your husband is gone now, and he would have wanted you to remarry. Your daughters are so beautiful. The dark-haired one almost looks like a cousin. ❤❤

It takes Courage and Faith to move forward. I'm so thankful for all Marcus Lamb did to serve God and obey the call in building Daystar, and the Legacy this has left for you, Joni, your children and family. But we recognize that his race was unexpectedly finished just like the late Dr. Myles Munroe, who said "Die Empty" Give everything you can while you're on the earth. Marcus finished well and has finished strong with a Starry crown of righteousness! Prayers will continue for your new chapter of Life, Love and Daystar, and I pray God will continue to lead you as you embrace this new chapter. You can never go back in History but you can step forward into your destiny! Thank you for sharing your Life, love & faith so transparently, seeing the beautiful clips of wedding, grandchildren and transparent moments. I pray people can see God at the next level of Chapter as the work of the Gospel must continue to reach the world. Godspeed to you, Dr. Weiss, Johnathan, Suzi, Rachael, Rebecca, their spouses, children and the Legacy of Daystar. Continue having healthy boundaries, truthful friends and accountability partner's. You will need them in the days ahead. Blessings always ❤

There is always two sides to a story and then there is the truth. Lisa Weiss should write a book as well don't you think?

[@joycemullane5337]

Absolutely not! She deserves privacy. She did not choose to have her personal life displayed on international christian television. She's dealing with hurt, betrayal and humiliation. Joni and Doug chose to make their engagement, lavish wedding and reception public and blast it on international christian television.

[@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways]

I pray for Lisa as a woman whose husband divorced her after 26 years of marriage and remarried. I have now kept my vows for almost 42 years. Joni is an adulteress against God and Lisa. She needs to repent and end this.

[@antoin8207]

@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways I am só sorry to hear about the hurt you went through, you must have loved him very much. You are a strong person because you servived and still serving God. No one will understand that kind of hurt accept the Lord Jesus Christ, who also was betrayed by those He loved and still He forgave them. My the Balm oil of the Holy Spirit restore and strengthen you.

@@joycemullane5337 Correct. ‭1 Corinthians 7:10-11 KJV‬ [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.

Some people don't want to be alone. I pray she didn't make a big mistake. Flesh is something else.

[@debbiesmith5455]

I keep thinking this is Joni’s life. Let her live it!! She is grounded in God’s word, she knows how to hear from the Lord and honestly it is her business. But, yes, choices do affect others. Her son will have to let the Holy Spirit work through this with him.

[@paulachinn6306]

God's word tell the Biblical reason for remarried. God's voice is not contrary to God's word.

I just shared that scripture on my FB page, that I was so thankful that Jesus said He would never leave me or forsake me. Even in my mistakes or whatever the case may be He will NOT leave me! He is there always! I am so thankful. I want your book. I have been in some big storms in my life and I have to say HE was there through them all and He gave me peace that I knew could have only come from Him. I can’t wait to read your story! Many blessings to you for being so transparent in telling your story! ❤

Watch dad pass away from cancer in 87' watched him take his last breath... saying I love you as oxygen bubbles came out. Heartbreaking... to watch a loved one die in front of you!

[@L_Jan_Turner]

I know what you mean. It's like part of your heart is going with them. But the Lord showed me some things that really encouraged me. He said, "He's not in your past, he's in your future." and, Don't think about his death, think about his life.

I remembered watching her show how she embarrassed Pastor Lindy Ray for being divorced not even given her side of the story.Now she married a man that divorce his wife let alone a pastor and the wife is still alive.Dubble standards I salute Jonathan for taking a Biblical stand and do not comprise that speaks alot.He is a man of integrity.❤️🙏
