    Something Joni said in her book....”you know that feeling when you’re in the middle of a joyous occasion and a depression sweeps over you?...it’s a longing for heaven and the Father”. In other words...nothing on earth can compare to where we’re going one day “.

      Love is such a beautiful place to be. God cares as do others this wonderful love story thankyou Joni and all. One day healings will be complete and everywhere we know God desires this and will then be overwhelmed. Jobs ten children were gone he was given ten more and twice as much of everything else yet in that a promise of the first returned one day. A promise faith in the return. Twice as much.

      I read all the obituaries in our newspaper.
      Every obituary says, they went to be with their lord and savior Jesus Christ, or ..
      I hear this one a lot,
      They went to a better place.
      Not everyone goes to a better place.
      There are two places of eternity...
      Heaven and hell
      We make that choice while we are living, we don't make that choice after we die.
      And God does not send us to hell, those who reject Jesus Christ and his work on the cross reject him and salvation, that is the choice that sends people to an eternity in hell.

      This movie just came up on U-Tube. I hadn't seen it before. God had this for me today. Right now I'm struggling with mobility from OA & OsteoArthritis & MS which was Diagnosed in 1995. Don't claim any of them. He sends me earthly & heavenly Angels to help me. Leaning. On Jesus! This movie quoted Isaiah 4031, which is one of my favorite Bible verses
      I witness as much as I can, even though I don't get out much anymore!🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌

    I look at Joni and realize how God has used her all these years to love, introduce to Jesus, teach, comfort and inspire the hurting and disabled. Just think, before her, there was no national ministry focusing on just these precious people. Now because of her, there is and her ministry shows the rest of us how to help too. Wow. May we all be as dedicated each day to serving and loving as Joni is ❤️

    "I rather be in this chair knowing Him and healed without Him"
    Nobody volunteers to be a partaker of Jesus's suffering and it takes His Holy Spirit to accept, bow down to the pain, let it be then embrace and give thanks. I myself long for the plenitud Joni displays after she did and cannot wait for how Jesus will surprise me, manifest that "all in all" He will display through my two daughters and I.
    Thank you Father, thank you Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit for the reality of your existence, your love, your mercy and your promises

    Joni is such an inspiration to me and earlier today I saw her on Facebook. I'm not paralyzed but I am disabled. In pain almost every day. I can walk but not without debilitating pain. I've prayed & prayed for a healing and haven't gotten yet. I just want the pain to go away. I trust our Heavenly Father God with all of my heart than one day I will be made whole again as you Joni, will also be. I needed to watch this movie it taught me so much. Thank-you Jesus for leading me to Joni's & finding out about her movie & Hallelujah it was on RUclips and thankyou Joni for being a huge inspiration in my life. There's always a reason for the season no matter what it may bring the Glory goes to God. I was meant to see you on Facebook & I feel I was lead to this movie and I found this movie when I Googled your name for reasons I didn't know until now. Sometimes we can figure out the why's or in his miraculous ways...he shows us.
    God bless you Joni 🙏🏻 ❤️

      Wow, I'm glad Joni has inspired you so much as well. God has truly used her life. I am housebound with a chronic illness and pain, and every day and night is such a challenge. Joni has helped me see pain and suffering in a different light and how God uses it to bring us closer to him and depend on him. We really need him in our suffering. I'm glad we need him so badly. We're blessed in that way and in every way because we have Him.❣

      A prayer using caps as emphasis to communicate GOD'S RESCUE PLAN THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
      On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
      YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
      YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
      If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
      They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
      They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
      Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
      LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
      LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
      LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
      LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
      If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
      Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
      O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

    What a terrific movie. Joni is such an inspiration. I only heard of Joni thru a 1984 Documentary called " Heaven Is Real " & I had no idea she was handicapped. Holy Spirit led me to look her up & I only learned at that time that she was in a wheelchair & that she was also an author. So I ordered 1 of her books called " Heaven : Your Real Home" ...very good book. I had no idea there was a movie about her life that"s played by the only 1 that can play her best & stumbled upon it when I happened to be watching TCT. GOD is an awesome GOD & HE nvr ceases to amaze me. I'm so glad I watched this. Not a dull moment in this movie & a blessing. I try to think of her & all others that are handicapped, when I want to complain abt stupid, trivial things. Joni...u are truly an inspiration. LORD, thank u for leading Joni to tell her story. PRAISE YOUR PRECIOUS NAME...AMEN. ✝

    Joni, your life is truly inspiring. That first self portrait of yourself, was incredible, because you captured all the feelings you were going through then, and after that your talents were really stirred up, with your exquisite pictures.
    I've yet to see where God didn't turn a bad, into good. God didn't cause the accident, but He allowed it, maybe seeing Joni would be His trusted servant, to win souls to Christ. We mostly are so focused on things looking perfect when God is more for saving ppl, not by how they look. And just look at the number of ppl, that come, to hear her speak.
    You can't tell me God didn't give her that skill, to do beautiful artwork, and her very beautiful singing voice.
    Stay blessed.

    I loved the film. Loved the song that Joni sang so beautiful. So happy she believed in God and her faith got so strong. She believed in herself to preach to the world . I loved her paintings. She had a supportive family that really cared for her and be there for her needs. She is a very strong lady. Loved the film very much.

    Thanks for showing this movie 🎥! When I see it I am thankful for God Jehovah Grace & Mercies in my life. I could have ended up just like Joni, but I walked away. Have life long suffering. Joni is a example to everyone saved or unsaved about what God can do in that person's life. It's a reminder for me personally to focus on Jesus Christ & the cross in front of me,not on what is behind me.

As an occupational therapist I see in my mind so much more that went on behind the scenes, the additional therapy, the issues with personal care, the risks of complications- the movie is fantastic. Read her books too! And interviews on RUclips 😊

    Amen and Amen! Awesome journey to trusting God again after literally losing feeling, along with John the father who is a former fighter, and caring family trying to make the best of the living arrangements and overall situation for Joni. But God, showing Joni the power that he blesses her with no matter her physical abilities, and Pastor Graham with the association of telling this powerful true story. Exodus 14:14, 20:3, 23:25, Isaiah 40:4, 40:31, 41:10, 43:2, 53:5, 54:17, 55:8 Psalm 46:10, 91, 121, Galatians 5:16, 6:7, 6:9 and Lamentations 3:22, 3:23🙏🏾💪🏾💗🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🌊🌅 Stay safe and encouraged everyone!
