Joy in the Journey: 40 Years in Ministry | Joyce Meyer

In 1976, when God spoke to Joyce’s heart that she would someday have “a large teaching tape ministry,” she could have only imagined what would happen over the next four decades.
From a Bible study in their home…to airing on a few local radio stations…to eventually reaching a potential audience of two-thirds of the world through the Enjoying Everyday Life TV program, Dave and Joyce have watched the Lord use their ministry to bring help and healing to millions, including missions outreaches that now span the globe.
They recently sat down to discuss ministry milestones, funny moments, how it all began, and the incredible things the Lord has done all along the way.

She thanks God for letting her teach the word

[@eboniking4860]

Joyce ministry is founded on her husband. People have failed to realize they’ve been successful because of resembling a relationship with the Lord. Most ministries haven’t been resembling God through their marriage and they wonder why there’s no anointing.

@@daisybell603 VIRAL THIEVES: The first arrested in the crime, Devon Swan, 26, was denied bail on a first-degree murder charge shortly after Johnson described him as a documented gang member and felon with a history of gun and narcotics crimes. A frustrated Johnson stepped up his call for tougher laws against repeat gun offenders, "Lavontay wasn't someone who made some bad decisions and lost his way or got involved in a gang conflict," Johnson said. "He was just a little boy with his whole life ahead of him." Standing next to Johnson at police headquarters was the Rev. Michael Pfleger, who hailed people who came to him with information that helped lead to Swan's arrest and the courage of citizens who went with him to police. "Your faith has to be greater than your fear," said Pfleger, a civil rights activist and the senior pastor of the Faith Community of St. Sabina in the Auburn-Gresham community. Swan made incriminating statements to witnesses and later to detectives following his arrest, police said, but the case is far from closed.

I think she rocks... regardless of anyones opinion... the one thing we all know if you listen to her, you easily identify with so many of her battles, attitudes and shes the first to put her hand up , publicly l might add and own her good bad and ugly moments... days in her life along this life journey we are all on. I think if your getting offended by Joyce... brilliant.... instead of pointing the finger at her... go and look within yourself at the internal mirror see whats poking the bear so to speak with in... l know she rattles me sometimes and ive thought.. blip you joyce. Blip you.... but thats only cause she said what others wont... things i need to hear... like everything in life sift through it and own what you need to and let it in to work on those aeras needed. Repent where needed and see Christ in people... you look at any person long enough with your own eyes youll always see fault. Personally I'd like to thank Joyce and her family for keeping it real, for persevering with the suffering and being bold enough to put it under a microscope for world to scrutinize as it does so some of us can obtain knowledge to make better choices, increase quality of life becoming more christ like. Bless you Joyce, and your children and your childrens children.
