I have read a 5 or 6 of his books. Generally, they stir up in me a love for Jesus. Rick Joyner is obviously very intelligent and furthermore I believe many of his revelations have their roots in God. The Bible says, "Test all things. Hold onto the good. Avoid even the form of evil". So we would need to discuss individual aspects of his writings and prophecies. We can't unquestioningly accept everything.

There is also a difference between what one sees and how one interprets it. It is also possible to receive good revelations but make a few serious errors in terms of who one associates with. I believe Rick Joyner made a mistake in aligning himself with these Knights of Malta, or whoever they are. It seems he also failed to discern the sin in some of his leading prophetic friends until it all came out. No one is perfect. I think we should look for what is helpful and learn where we can, without committing ourselves to swallow all that he does or says, or the way he says it as being from God.

So its a complex issue.
