The Lord has shown me many miracles in my life time. The things I have bared witness have all been supernatural, nothing man or the flesh can produce. I was invited to attend church at the Lion of Judah, August 22, 2007. I was seeking answers and a close friend of mine had received a divine healing that he had been seeking for 7 years and had received the healing from Prophetess Joyce; his wife told me I she was taking the youth to meet the woman who had healed her husband. It was a Wed and the Holy Spirit lead her into miracle night. She called many of us up and spoke a word over each us. I was the last she had called up that night and spoke a word of prophecy over me and then a divine healing soon followed. She has brought me much comfort in my walk with the Lord. I have the audio recording of that night.

I was hoping to return to SC to site under her anointing once more, to observe her closely. I have so many questions about the divine, that I know her knowledge would be invaluable to better understanding the workings of the Holy Spirit. She remains the only person I have ever encountered who can operate so freely in the Holy Spirit. Many proclaim to the have the gift but none could produce the results that this woman of God has done over and over again. I was getting ready to set up a local revival and wanted to have her come here over the summer and I was most likely going to leave with her once it was over. I was boasting to my friends about a real prophet in SC. It was one of them doing a search on her that asked me if she was still alive...

You will be greatly missed. I love you and your family so much. I know there is a lot of work here on Earth that still needs to be accomplished. I believe I found someone who has the potential to be just as powerful in the Spirit as you are. I wanted you two to meet. I love you and will cherish your memory everyday, for there has not been a day that has passed that I have not thought of you.

Godspeed

My husband and I came to know and appreciate the ministry of Joyce Still many years ago while she was ministering in Hanover, MA at Jim Purtell Ministries. Her mother played the piano at that time. God blessed Sister Joyce with many anointings such as Prophetic, Healing, Creative Miracles, Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom and certainly the gift of Discerning of spirits as well as the gift of Deliverance. People came from near and far to attend her meetings and were always blessed and never left the same. My husband and I were saddened to learn of Sister Joyce's passing, but are delighted for her. She is in the Arms of her Jesus and we look forward to to joining her some day. We send our love and prayers for her family. God Bless. Sincerely, Joe and Tina Santacroce.

Aunty Joyce has been a great blessing and a testimony to me over many years. I got to know her when she ministered in Malaysia. I have very fond memories of spending a Christmas with her and hosting her when she visited my family and I in England.
Jewel in Christ's crown, that's what you are.

My heart goes out to the family of Prophetess Joyce Still. I was deeply heart broken when I got the news and remembered the last time I saw her at Gates of Glory Church in Dallas Texas. She called me mama. Every time she looked at me she had the most beautiful smile that would light up the whole room. I will forever remember her for the love and the ministry she shared throughout the world. You are in my prayers. It was a honor to be a part of her life. I was also called the lil love blanket because of the love I covered her with even when I saw her at the Eagles Nest Chatheral where I first met her. I know she is gone from this life on earth but is in another life with the Father. I will forever carry her memory in my heart. Much love goes out to her husband and family.

It was the greatest honor bestowed upon us when Jesus place Pastor Joyce in our lives. Words would never be able to express our gratitude for her life, legacy, and ministry. She gave till she had no more to give, then gave more. Our lives are all better because of the gracious, humble Woman of God. God bless Pastor Dan, and the family.
