About the JOI Project


The JOI Project is an Oasis of Healing, Hope, Encouragement, Inspiration, Learning, Growth and Relaxation.

It ministers to the whole Spirit, Soul, and Body merging the Christ centred spiritual with the practical day-to-day challenges of living.

The JOI Project is a free Christ centred inspirational information based Community with an optional fee-based interactive personal Online Life Coaching Workshop and Courses to assist you to develop skills creating new patterns and pathways for your unique breakthrough, and a fresh lease of joy in your life and your intimate relationship, as well as for your professional relationships development within your church and/or ministry organization.


The JOI Project Community is an inter-cultural loving and supporting network with unconditional regard for one another. We are all uniquely different, with different life experiences and needs. We’ve come to Christ desiring His Life to be manifest through us, yet meet with daily challenges that seem to pull us away from being the best that God created us to be, and doing the will of the Father for Him to enjoy .... it’s called being ‘human’.

Whilst it is important for us to have a greater awareness of being spiritual and living in a spiritual world rather than just in a natural world, we have also been given the stewardship over our soul, emotions, mind and the body to celebrate and enjoy.

The key motto here is: Optimize, celebrate, focus and work on your strengths to become greater, and only manage your weaknesses.

Please connect with people you might flow and have a synergy with in order to work through issues together or on your own but with an accountability partner. Much like a typical workshop, the JOI Project will encourage you to work on your own as well as in groups.
Enjoy!

Please share this website with those who you feel would benefit from it!

The JOI Project is to be used in conjunction with the articles and other support material on:

Dreams Café at Your Journey of Intimacy



Just in case you wonder ....


We're supposed to realize we're saved -- but ONLY by grace (and not by any works OF OUR OWN! Right?) -- but then, do you ever wonder "How does this works thing work?" James proclaims in James 2:18 that he'd show us his faith by his works. Though works DO NOT affect salvation -- they do SEEM to have eternal consequences. That is, our works don't matter in one way... yet they make all the difference -- in another way!

This Community and the Workshops focus both on the spiritual aspect of our relationship with the Lord, but there are also some practical aspects, some natural 'works' that we will need to grow in with all skillfulness, so that we do not perish for lack of knowledge.


Pastors and Ministry Leaders



It is altogether easy to get so tied up, stressed-out and even burnt-out with with the various ministry obligations we all face daily.

Too often the relationship with the Lord, oneself and especially one's spouse suffers.

Find here tips to strategically create more 'space' and time in your life for what really matters to you.






.... and if you are believing for a spouse, then this is certainly the right place for you to help you become more sure that your choice is in alignment with God's will for you.









Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

The Five Love Languages


What are your primary Love languages?


My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Words of Affirmation.

Here are mine in order of priority:

Quality Time
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service


Unhappiness in relationships, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

What are your love languages?

------------ Developing Divine Relationships in Strategic Divine Alignments ------------

... the intimacy with your spouse (or spouse to be) you've always dreamed of living, with no barriers, or walls.

Imagine intimate passionate relationships both with Christ and each other, and a deep sense of spiritual fulfilment.


A loving, passionate, and intimate relationship can be challenging to achieve and to sustain.

There are certain relationship skills that need to be comprehended and continuously practiced, such as: understanding of yourself and your loved one, giving, abandoned receiving, trust, intimacy, honesty, thankfulness, and alignment.



Welcome to Your Place of Hope, Healing, and Joy where You can be Yourself in the midst of Life's happenings ...... Combining the Revitalizing Tender Love of the Holy Spirit with Practical Knowledge



This is a place where not only your needs are addressed, but it also provieds a Pool of Giftings, Strengths and Anointings to meet the needs of each one of us.




During a major pastors and ministers leadership conference in the US, the hotel, where the ministers were staying, made an interesting observation: At night, privately in their rooms, 83% chose to watch porn channels.

This is not an isolated incident happening just in the US. This is an epidemic situation that affects many nations.

We have confidentially worked with pastors and minister leaders, both male and female for nearly 20 years regarding the issue of intimacy problems. As per usual, there are always two sides of a coin. Men are hurting just as much as women. This is a very delicate issue, and especially those in leadership find it difficult to confide in others.



The JOI Project Workshop is designed to assist you on your Journey of Intimacy – Intimacy with the Lord, Intimacy with yourself, and Intimacy with others, especially with your loved ones, e.g. your spouse or future spouse.




The JOI Project Workshop provides a feast of resources to bring healing, restoration, hope and joy. It also provides resources preventative in nature to encourage strengths and virtues resident in each of us. The emphasis is on a balance of spiritual and practical personal growth.

We address many areas where lack of knowledge and understanding might cause hindrances or disruptions in your journey to fulfill your divine assignments.

The inStrengths Ministries JOI Project also includes a section for those of you who are church and ministry leaders to help you create the optimum for your organizational relationships. If both home and organizational relationships run smoothly, then the Gospel mandate and ministry assignment can move forward in a more affective way!

Our online general workshops are designed to give you the practical help you need to make real changes in your life, together with prayer support and spiritual mentoring.

It is free for you to enjoy. There are many inspiring articles, uplifting prophetic messages, areas for worship, soaking in God’s healing presence, relaxing nature video areas, joy and laughter, practical tips for daily thriving, explorative tips for your personal Journaling, and so much more.

The Journey Of Intimacy - JOI - Project is for serious people only. People who are really hungry for intimacy with God, and want to go on a personal development path to create the intimacy with their spouse or their future spouse




Before anything else, and at the core of this site and ministry is:
SPIRITUAL INTIMACY

THE SECRET PLACE OF HIS INTIMATE PRESENCE



Here are some of the many issues we’ll discuss regarding Relationships:

• Do you keep choosing the wrong person for you and repeat relationship patterns? You may want to check out our Singles Group
• Do you enjoy HONEST communication? (e.g. you don’t pretend to be someone you're not to make another happy and give up something which is meaningful to you for the sake of the relationship ...)
• Changing or fixing the other person won’t work ... or will it?
• Know the difference between real love and fantasy, infatuation, ego thrills or dependency.
• And many more subjects ...



The complete Pathway of the Journey of Intimacy:



It is vitally important that you focus first on the JOI Poject before you can learn to experience the higher Bliss within the Inner Chamber!

It does not matter whether you are preparing for marriage, or are married for 50+ years. The pathway is always the same:

• 1 Intensify to Intimacy with God
• 2 TOTAL HONESTY - Deeply get to know Yourself First, then your partner
• 3 Learn skills, grow in knowledge and wisdom to create the relationship of your most cherished dreams




First of all, you will need to know precisely where you are on the map of your life and relationship right now, and where exactly you want to get to.... and why.




Who are you, I mean, who are you, actually, and what do you really want? Who defines your identity? Is your identity defined from the inside out and aligned with the way God sees you, or are you defined by the roles you play in life, and by other people?

Any change we hope to see in our lives will always go from the inside-out. It always starts with spirit, then moved through our soul and then the body.

Our identity first and foremost comes from the Spirit of the Living God in our spirt. So, let's take it from there.

"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV).

Only when we perceive the face of the One in whose image we were made do we come to know who we are and the One for whom we were made. And because of whoHe is, to behold Him and remain inchanged is impossible.

Many hope that a relationship will give them a life, make them happy or feel better about themselves - give them an identity. Some seek for their partner to give them the approval they have been denied before, take care of them and give them a sense of validation of their own worth.

Only when you truly know yourself, both from the prespective of your divine identity, found only in the cavity of His heart and birthed in His Love, lavishing you with the reality of His goodness, His irresistible glory, being 100% for you, not against you; and respect who you are in the natural, too, delight in your own company, are certain of your own values, needs and goals; feel so full of the affirmation, strengths, and blessings, and recognition of God in your life that you are not looking to your spouse to get something you need met - only then will you be able to embark on the journey to understand your loved one, and the journey together. (To avoid misunderstandings here, God very often will meet your need through your spouse. The key here is to look to God to meet your need, not look to your spouse).


NOTE: Getting to know the true you, as taught here at inStrengths JOI, has nothing to do with self-centeredness which destroys relationships and marriages! Getting to know yourself means coming to a place of wholeness and maturity. It means taking full responsibility for your own life; taking full responsibility to change your own life and not that of others. Only that way will you be far more effective in relating, interacting and serving others. Jesus always brought people to personal wholeness before He send them out to minister to others.


This requires some serious prayerful thinking and 'soul' searching to discover your ways, that which is helpful, and that which is not. Discover the real beauty in you which God created in the first place, and then grow in that sharing it with others.






You will need to do some writing, such as doing a personal strengths inventory, and journaling.

Please check out Journaling - Moments with God, Moments with Yourself




Essentially it does not matter where you write things. If you use a book, if possible, use a beautiful book Why? Simply because you treat your beautiful book with greater respect. This is Your life after all that you are working through!

Whether you use an elaborate scrapbook, or an elegant leather bound book, make sure that you'll paste in picture images of the end-result you're believing God for. Pictures such out of magazines, or photos you take, that make your heart sing and stretches your faith.


Digital scrapbooking is really easy. Do some Google or Yahoo image searches. right-click on them, save them in an image file on your computer, and then upload them here on your personal page.

If you do digital scrapbooking, or indeed here on your own page at the inStrengths JOI Project, make sure that you protect your seedlings of faith. Some people you can share things with, and others you can't. Like with Joseph, there are times you'll need wisdom as to who you share your dreams with.

To this end, you have different privacy settings here on the inStrengths JOI Project. Pictures, videos, and blog entries you can set as entirely private for your eyes only, if you wish.


Above all have fun excavating the real you, the authentic you with the unique assignment God has on your life, and then align all that with all the various discoveries you make within your loved one.

Enjoy!



The Book of Love
for the dance of your life together!


The online international inStrengths Community
