13. Is Joyce Meyer Ministries a "word of faith" ministry?

    • Joyce Meyer Ministries believes in the Word of God. Joyce teaches that God has made promises to us in His Word and as believers, we should trust His promises (see 2 Peter 1:3,4). However, it can be damaging when people place their faith in faith alone instead of placing their faith in God. Misappropriation of God’s promises solely for personal gain is not scripturally supported. For more information, view our Statement of Faith.
      
      
      

14. Does Joyce Meyer Ministries teach a "prosperity gospel"?

    • Joyce Meyer Ministries believes that God desires to bless His people. Joyce teaches that God’s blessings and prosperity apply to the spiritual, emotional, physical and financial areas of life. These blessings and prosperity are then to be used to bless others (see Genesis 12:1-3). A “prosperity gospel” that solely equates blessing with financial gain is out of balance and could damage a person’s walk with God. For more information, view our Statement of Faith.

    • This has been one of the most challenging things for Joyce. She would love to be able to read every individual letter and personally speak with and pray for all those who call in. However, because of time constraints, her many responsibilities and her desire to stay faithful to God and focused on His call for her life, she is not able to respond personally to the many requests she receives. If you are in need of prayer, please contact one of our staff members who will pray with you. You may reach our prayer line by calling (800) 727-9673.
