The Halls of Kingdom Legislation
When Aglow began in 1967, none of us knew what we were doing really. We simply had a desire to experience God, to grow in our relationship with Him, to learn the things of the Spirit, and to grow in our identity as women. I began as the leader of the Edmonds, WA, Aglow. Securing…

As we draw near to November 5th, our nation is flooded with messages from political parties, each vying for leadership. They present their cases as to why they believe they should lead the country as the next President of the United States. However, as believers, our focus should be different. What we need to ask…

The Word of God is very clear in its instruction to us regarding prayer for those in authority. I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all…
Read MoreSpiritual Authority
I recently was drawn to a book I read many years ago. It has been a time of rediscovering truths I have walked in, yet with a fresh realization of going to a new level of these same truths. Perhaps you are in a similar place of hunger for more and moving deeper with what…

It caused me to take a trip down memory lane realizing the rich legacy of the ministry. Even in the year 1981, the names…

The opening sentence read, “If headlines screamed, ‘Over one billion…

I recently purchased a new copy of, My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. This is a book I have read many times in past years. Then out of the blue, the Holy Spirit brought back the memory of this classic and drew me back to many treasured thoughts of the past. I will…
Read MoreEternally Strengthened
Lately, it seems God has chosen to wake me in the night and speak to my heart. His latest word to me was simply the word ‘strength’. I had not been feeling physically weak, rather more relaxed and at peace. Yet, the word felt very personal to me. “As your days, so shall your strength be.” Deuteronomy. 33:25

Because of the times that we live in, I am often asked what Aglow’s stance is in the midst of what looks like the redefining of society. To know where we stand, you can read our Core Values. Our stance will always align with Biblical values. Those values are fixed and cannot be redefined. Our…
