Jennifer Lynn Joy
“I see more travel and more writing for
you. A change of seasons. The LORD has been preparing you. You are
prepared. HE will be giving you revelatory knowledge in a new, deeper,
more intimate way. A season of HIS abundance. A season of HIS fragrance.
A season of HIM delighting in you even more.”
09.21.04 ~ The
LORD provided a "tent meeting" atmosphere for me to work in on Tuesday
during the day. In the evening, Joy, Mary Ellen and I enjoyed dinner
before the Lebanon Aglow Meeting. During the evening, Barbara Gibson,
the guest speaker from Lebanon, Tennessee gave the following prophetic word
to me:
Your ministry will mushroom…mushroom…it is
like it has taken off a little…but I just see it spiraling …wider and
wider and wider and wider and it’s going up which I can only interpret
as being … more and more and more wonderful like the Spirit of God. As I
just see it spiraling and it is ever increasing and it is also
increasing in speed…and I don’t know why HE is saying that to you but HE
is saying it…and in it …(speaking in tongues)…in this spiral…in this
spiral is all provision….it is not just a haphazard spinning…it is a
spinning with purpose and it is a spinning that has all provision in
it…so as the circle gets wider and it gets faster there’s all provision
in it…all the energy, all the understanding, all the revelation, all the
finance is in there so there is nothing lacking. It is not spinning out
of control it is spinning with much purpose.
09.22.04 ~ This
Scripture was waiting for me when I awoke: Jeremiah 31:14 “I
will satisfy fully the life of the priests (you, precious JennJoy) with
abundance (of offerings shared with them) and My people (you!) Shall be
satisfied with my goodness, says the LORD.”

During my morning
walk I noticed little acorns under the large sprawling oak trees
and pondered the miracle of the miniature seed and the majestic
braches of the oak tree spread over me in canopy style, a parable of
GOD hovering over me.
The people of Tennessee are very friendly...as I walked through
the neighborhood of large brick homes with white trim, everyone
outside of their homes would meet and greet me like a new-found
friend. The south has certainly captured the art of majestic
entries....captivating doors, adorned porches and beautiful
driveways are commonplace. |

At high noon, DL,
Savannah, and Terri came by to take me for the girl's afternoon-out-southern-style including shopping and dining. The afternoon was pure
delight and joy. As only GOD could ordain, I met DL and Joy in May 1999
at an Aglow Retreat on the Oregon Coast. Now, the LORD has opened doors
for DL to minister in Washington DC and the open door for the "I AM"
Glory Ring ~ America and Israel to be hand delivered to the White House.
All for HIS Glory!
Joy and I shared a
relaxing Eagle Peak kind of dinner. The LORD had designed this trip to
be one of rest, peace and blessings beyond compare....HE is so
faithful.

09.23.04 ~ Joy, Mary Ellen and I met Barbara Gibson for
lunch and a delightful afternoon of sharing dreams and visions
the LORD had given us. Barbara began ministering about 30 years
ago, she is now 74.....which so totally blessed me as I was 44
when the LORD birthed HGRM. A complete gift of the LORD to be
able receive an impartation and blessing from one so faithful to
our FATHER's Kingdom. We are very excited about what the LORD is
bringing forth in this new season. (Left to Right: Jennifer,
Joy, Barbara and Mary Ellen) |

The early evening
brought a prayer journey to Franklin and Brentwood, Tennessee, two
cities overflowing with profound history and rich inheritance.
09.24.04 ~ The
Morning Scripture waiting on the breakfast table: "For JennJoy ~
Zechariah 9:12-17, "Return to the stronghold of security and prosperity,
you prisoners of hope; even today do I declare that I will restore
double your former prosperity to you. (Psalm 40:2, Isaiah 40:2). For I
have bent Judah for Myself as My Bow, filled the bow with Ephraim as My
Arrow, and will stir up your songs, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece,
and will make you (Israel) as the sword of a might man. And the LORD
shall be seen over them and HIS arrow shall go forth as the lightning,
and the LORD GOD will blow the trumpet and will go forth in the
windstorms of the south. The LORD of hosts shall defend and protect
them; and they shall devour and they shall tread on their fallen enemies
as on slingstones that have missed their aim, and they shall drink for
victory and be noisy and turbulent as from wine and become full bowls
(used to catch the sacrificial blood), like the corners of the
(sacrificial) altar. And the LORD their GOD will save them on that day
as the flock of HIS people, for they shall be as the precious jewels of
a crown, lifted high over and shining glitteringly upon HIS land. For
how great is GOD's goodness and how great is HIS beauty! And how great
(HE will make Israel) goodliness and (Israel's) beauty! Grain shall make
the young men thrive and fresh wine the maidens." (Amplified)
On the highway to
Knoxville....signs along the way: Easton Coach, Eagle Transport,
Ezekiel 16, and this great sign: “That “Love Your Neighbor” Thing. I
meant that. God." One very different aspect of the Southern
States in comparison to Oregon is that many of the bill board signs speak
about different aspects of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST...which is so
refreshing.
| Last summer, Laurie
Montgomery contacted me through our web site email asking for
prayer. We began communicating through email and then she sent
her Testimony,
included in our quarterly mailing. The LORD's kindness prepared
the way for us to meet in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was my joy to
give Laurie one of the "I AM" Glory Rings for America-Israel and
a personal Glory Ring - "The Fragrance of HIS Freedom and Love."

Joy and I prayed
through the cities of Knoxville, Crossland, and Crossville as we communed
and worshipped the LORD.

The evening
held an extravagant dinner at the McFadden's followed by sweet praise, heartfelt worship, heavenly foot massages,
and anointed prayer. Kathie Junker (HGRM Intercessor) and her
sister, Linda Palmer of Lafayette joined us.

09.25.04 ~ In
the morning, Joy and I went to an Aglow Prayer Meeting in Cooksville, TN.
As soon as we arrived, I was asked to share about HGRM. Delightfully, the
ministry and I were very well received. During a brief lunch, I
handed out the Flags, Banners...Teaching Notes and met Karen McMains who had
contacted me via email about hosting a Glory Ring Workshop. GOD is
certainly in the divine appointment ministry!

Joy brought three
Glory Rings to share: 1) For the Nation of Greece, 2) For the
State of Tennessee and 3) The FATHER's Lavish Love-one of Joy's
personal rings. As only GOD could order it, in 2000 when the
Glory Ring was made For the State of Tennessee ~ PRAISE HIS
MAJESTY! Scriptures: Psalms 144-150, two large butterflies were
placed on each side of the ring. As soon as I finished sharing,
Mary Bolton from Knoxville, shared a vision the LORD had given her at a
recent Prayer Conference in Georgia about butterflies. Then Venoy
Burger, President of the Central TN Area Aglow Board from
Cooksville, brought a teaching on butterflies. The LORD was
pretty clear about HIS message of the butterfly. As the Glory
Ring for the State of Tennessee had been in Joy's stewardship
for 4 years, she offered it to Mary Bolton from Knoxville,
Tennessee. (Photo Left to Right: Mary Bolton and Jennifer) |
In the afternoon, we
stopped by Mary Ellen's for awhile to visit with Kathie and Linda just a
bit more before they headed home to Lafayette. The evening
affectionately held
church service at River of Life with Michael and Revered DorotheLee
Withers. A sweet evening of praise and worship led by Mary Ellen, divine
impartation, powerful prophetic words, passionate prayers and FATHER
GOD's love covering it all.
09.26.04 ~
Sunday, Joy and I went to the Catholic Church with Mary Ellen,
interesting that the Mass reading was Psalm 146 (same Scripture as the Tennessee Glory
Ring). After church we went to Mary Ellen's for a light Sunday Morning
brunch then home for a relaxing afternoon which included a walk in the
park and a 1957 movie filmed in location on Greece about discovering
hidden treasures.
09.27.04 ~ Joy
dropped me off very early at the airport which was followed by a quiet
flight home. My daughter, Angie picked me up at noon, then she, Elijah
and Sarah came over to visit. As I was given a suitcase full of clothes
during the week in Tennessee, she wanted to see all the blessings of the
LORD.
In closing, the Holy
Spirit shared this Scripture which I pray will bless you, especially to
those that have been faithful to pray for me through the ever changing
seasons of this ministry. Luke 6:38 ~ "Give, and it will be given
to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they
will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be
measured to you in return."
A Bondservant of
the LORD,
Jennifer Lynn Joy
