As I was talking to the Lord one day I asked Him for a word. The word He put in my mind was “peace.” I said, “Lord, how does that look?” I realized I was experiencing some grief over Tom’s death, even after seven years. I was feeling alone as a widow in the midst …
Has anyone ever noticed that birthdays come around once a year? If you have noticed, and are reading this, that’s actually a good thing because it means that you’re still alive. The challenging thing is you’re a year older. My great-granddaughter just turned 3 years old. She doesn’t know what lays ahead and doesn’t know …
WHAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND FREEDOM? ACTS 5:17-20: ” . . . . But, during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and leading them out said, Go, take your stand in the temple . . . .” The scripture does not suggest that this was a normal occurrence. To my …
Today, July 26, 2023, I was set free from a negative body image I’ve dealt with all my life. When I received this picture from my dear sister in Christ, Kathi Frye (taken at Jesus Culture Sacramento), I immediately said to myself, “you look like an old, fat lady with a perm!” Was I smiling? …
When Saul was on the road to Damascus, “. . . ‘suddenly’ a light from heaven flashed around him; he fell to the ground, and heard a voice. . . . ” Acts 9:1-18 Saul’s entire life changed with that “suddenly” as he had a personal encounter with the risen Christ. It included forgiveness; physical …
Acts 2:1-4: “And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And “suddenly” there came from heaven a noise like a violent, rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

God has been speaking to me about the word “suddenly.” It is when something happens abruptly, quickly, unexpectedly and without warning. How would you react to a “suddenly” in your life? I’m sure most people experience a “suddenly” at sometime in their life – accident, unexpected death of someone they know, a financial gift they …
http://fireonyouraltar.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-king-has-another-move.html?m=1 Over the past several months when I see any comments that express hopeless over world events, my response is, “It’s not over til God says it’s over. Keep praying.” God promised to bring the darkness into the light. He will “drain the swamp.” He will do it in such a way, no one will …
RUN YOUR RACE A couple of years ago, we were doing a spiritual exercise with Agape Freedom Fighters. We were asked to think about “What horse represents who you are and how you see yourself?” The first name that came to me was “Hildago”. Hildago was the movie about a wild mustang that was captured …
READ “BREAKDOWN” AND THEN “AFTER THE BREAKDOWN” TO UNDERSTAND When my car stopped running on the freeway last year, I faced the challenge of having no car. As I prayed, people began giving money to me to get it fixed or possibly buy another car. WOW! My mind swirled with thoughts and questions, “What do …
My car stopped working July 10, 2021, and I had it towed to my daughter’s house where my son-in-law could take a look at it.

How do you pray thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven? Recently I had an opportunity to pray with someone who was very sick. While I had prayed for that person and shared the word with them, they were still experiencing really dramatic swings in their symptoms. No …
On July 10, 2021, I was on a 3 ½ hour zoom phone call with Agape Freedom Fighters ministering to a group of people in another country. This was a training call and it required at least 12 AFF team members to help in 6 breakout rooms for ministry training after the teaching by Rev. …
The Lord gave me a picture in my mind of a weathervane. A weathervane usually sits high on the top of a roof or pole and it turns as the wind blows to show the direction of the wind. The Lord says; ” I have set my wind in a different direction. I have shifted …
I am praying that this will link to Al Houghton’s teaching today. The first time I heard Al teach was in my church, New Wine Christian Fellowship. I came away saying, “I have a voice. “ Hearing this teaching [I usually listen to every Monday teaching] my heart rejoiced again with the words, “I have …
The Lord and I were having a discussion about a conversation with someone who is praying for healing and telling me, “I pray, but I don’t understand why nothing is happening.” It is a frequent comment I hear people ask when they pray and don’t see results right away. At one time, I was one …
Psalms 2:4 As I was praying today, this laugher arose out of my belly as I could see and hear the Lord laughing. I began to laugh and I knew it was Him. I searched for a sound of laughter similar to what I heard. Gods laughter was richer in tone and had an eternal …
In Proverbs 26:24-28 the Lord, said “He who hates, disguises it with his lips, and lays up deceit within himself; when he speaks kindly, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.” “Whoever digs a pit …
Prayer from teaching by Al Houghton, 10/19/20 Romans 1:18 – “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” “Father, in the name of Jesus I come to you right now.
