The Birthing
Joy of the LORD Ministries was birthed through Joy Allen in November of 2004 and incorporated as a non-profit Christian ministry in May of 2007.
God first spoke instruction for the ministry and ordained its inception in 1994, under a very heavy evangelistic anointing, followed by powerful miracles, signs and wonders. As
time progressed, the ministry steadily became more prophetic and apostolic in nature. God continued to mandate the mission, adding instruction and anointing exponentially.
By God's grace, lives around the world have been impacted by HIS word and HIS work through Joy of the LORD Ministries.
The Vision
Joy of the LORD Ministries exists to teach and promote sound doctrine and biblical instruction to those seeking to "rightly divide the word of truth." Our prayer is that believers throughout the world will not be deceived by false teachings and oppressive traditions, but will seek the face of God through prayer, Bible study and holy living. We emphasize the power of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life and His ability to empower, lead and teach the believer in all things. Joy of the LORD focuses on replacing religion with RELATIONSHIP!
Our three-fold vision entails numerous assignments from the Father, with instruction to preach SALVATION to the Lost, teach TRUTH to the Believer and offer SUPPORT to the Called.
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8).
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (1 John 2:20).
The Mission
Prophecy
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word of my mouth, and give them warning from me" (Ezekiel 3:17).
Evangelism
"Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
Reconciliation
"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
Sound Doctrine and Holy Instruction
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen" (Matthew 28:19-20).
