From the written transcript:
RICK JOYNER: … He said, that is the key to eternal joy, because it is the joy of the Lord, not our joy, that is our strength.
SID ROTH: And so the paradigm is all wrong for most believers. Most believers are after their joy and it’s a paradox when you go, if I’m understanding you right, Rick, when you go after God’s joy, what is going to make him joyful, you end up with more joy than if you were going after your joy. Is that what you’re saying?
RICK JOYNER: He says we were created for his pleasure. So I did a study, research, what are the things that bring God joy? And I set my heart to do these things every day. As much as I can, I’m going to, today I’m going to bring the Lord joy. And when I set about to do that, that somehow that was the key.

So Jesus wants to SHARE HIS JOY WITH US, which will happen by doing what He wants. And HE WANTS OUR JOY TO BE FULL! He says in John 15:9-14:
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. IF YOU KEEP my commandments, YOU WILL REMAIN IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you, THAT MY JOY MAY *REMAIN* IN YOU, and THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE MADE FULL.
“This is my commandment, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER, EVEN AS I HAVE loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, IF YOU DO WHATEVER I COMMAND YOU.
