Altars Of Remembrance

When I saw in the Word that Abraham built an altar every place where the Lord God met him with a promise. Most of the men of the old built altars to the Lord God Almighty, we too should build altars at every level of our walk.



Altars, is to remember what the Lord God has done in your life. I started to think about the places where the Lord has met me and at the levels of my Christian walk. Here are some of the places that are vivid to me starting with my life as a Christian.





First Altar: 2-27-71,
My born again experience, and coming out of the land of sin.



The Holy Spirit met me in my bedroom, and brought me to Calvary. When I looked at the one Who died for me, I cried out in the bitterness of my soul, and said My sin killed you, oh if I had not sinned! You wouldn’t had to die!



I wept bitterly and told Him I did not want my way anymore, but only what He wanted, and He could have my children if He wanted them He could kill them tonight. And He could kill my husband and me what ever He wanted He could have. And I went to bed crying my heart out. I was so broken up over what I have seen. I cried myself to sleep, In the morning when I got out of bed, it felt just like I had been drinking, I really could not figure it out because I never drank in the home. My life has never been the same. 



We were in the nightclubs yet, and I could never go up on the stage without having a double shot of Canadian Club, and i use to try everything so I didn't have to have that. But nothing worked, but after that night at Calvary, all i could think about was Jesus and when we went to work that night in the club, I went straight to the bar and asked for a glass of water. Wow! what a difference the Holy Spirit of the Living Christ makes.





Second Altar: 5-2-71,
The Spirit of the Lord filled me full of His Presence.

Our church had a teen retreat and because we had some teens we took some teens into our home. So we went to the Saturday night and Sunday morning meetings. Bob & Tony our son received Jesus Christ Saturday Night, well Sunday morning after the sermon our pastor asked who wanted to give their lives so totally to the Lord Jesus Christ,



I said yes inside of me, and then it felt like someone sat in my lap, I moved my hand back and forth to see if I could feel what was in my lap. Then there was a stinging sensation, it felt like a knife cut me in the stomach and then what was in my lap went inside of me and filled me from my stomach up to my head and out into my arms right down to my finger tips, and then from my stomach all the way down to my toes, and then I stood up and dedicated my life publicly to Jesus Christ.



Hallelujah! I was so awe struck I didn’t know what it was. The next day all kinds of poems were coming out of my mouth. I could never write anything like that before. It was all about our Lord Jesus Christ. This first poem I got was fifty verses long. And a lot of the Bible. I was so wrapped up in the Word of God. I loved the Word of God so much that I would go to sleep with it under my pillow. The Spirit of the lord would have me up in the middle of the night writing, the thoughts were coming so fast I could hardly keep up. I would really be encouraged about what was written, and I would grow with the writings. 

I could hardly wait until it was morning so I could spend time with my Jesus oh, my heart would pound because I was meeting with the Lord God Almighty. My Best Friend!





Third Altar: 6/ 71,
Got Baptized in water and the Holy Ghost:

As time went on I was thirsting for a baptism. After church on Sunday I went to my pastor and asked if I needed to be baptized, He said no I didn’t need to be baptized because you were baptized when you were a baby. I did this for three times, on the third Sunday, when I got home from church, this church program was signing off the air, and the assistant pastor said, If you want to be baptized, get on the phone and call up your friend, and I said "OKAY" and I did, I called the woman that lived down the street from us, and she came over and baptized me in the tub. 



And then she asked me if I wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I said I want anything that is of God. And we went to her home behind the house on a hill, a beautiful sight, it was a place where she would meet with Jesus Christ and spend precious time with Him. And there I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Oh the downpour was so great, she was crying and I was struck with Awe. Blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Talk about powerful. I praise God for his wonderful Holy Spirit, what a friend he is. There was such a thirst for whatever God wanted me to have; I was determined to get everything. I was not going to miss out on anything, and His word says that whatever belongs to God is my inheritance. I was to receive all that he wanted for me. And nothing was going to hold me back from getting it. Hallelujah!! Jesus Christ is Lord!! To the Glory of God the Father!!





Forth Altar: 7/4/71.
Quit smoking:

The night before when we came home from the nightclub, I fell on my knees and cried help. After being Baptized with the Holy Spirit I was getting convicted that my body was a temple for the Holy Spirit, and I was convicted about smoking. I never smoked at home, but when we were playing in the night club, I would light up and go through a pack in that night. So when I got home I cried out HELP! I can’t do it! And God knew what I was talking about. So the next night on the 4th of July while in the club, I said well one isn’t going to hurt me, and I lit up a cigarette, and took a drag and the smoke burnt my throat, and I said to the people who were sitting at the table. The Lord don’t want me to smoke. And I put it out, never to light up one again. Praise the Lord. And then my mouth was opened to witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!



I became very bold in the Lord Jesus Christ, The one who couldn't even speak over a microphone all of a sudden my mouth was opened, and I just wanted to speak what Jesus Christ would speak, and I would get ridiculed over it, but I thought Jesus Christ when he was on this earth only spoke that which His Father told Him to speak so who was I that I would be different. Colossians 2:6 As you have therefore received Christ, even Jesus the Lord walk, Adjust your lives and conduct yourselves in union with and the way He was towards His Father, we are to live deeply in him and be controlled by His Holy Spirit so that the Spirit of Christ can live His life out through us. And Jesus Christ would be glorified in our lives and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ would get the glory! Who are we to do any different than what Jesus Christ did, He emptied himself out completely and partook of the same nature [flesh and blood] This was the only way that he could die was to become man. He would be the last Adam when he died to all there was of Adam, and destroyed the works of the devil. Hallelujah! All glory to the Christ of God, who is Jesus our Lord and Savior!





Fifth Altar: 9/71:
Bob quit drinking:

After Bob accepted Jesus Christ as His Savior, he got worse, and started to drink night and day. Well this one Saturday he started to drink and we had to play that night. And Bob was out drinking, and I was mad. When he got home I yanked on his shirt and screamed at him and pulled more on his shirt, he said the buttons ripped off, and he put on a new shirt, and went out to drink some more, and I was just steaming, I picked up my Bible to get some comfort from the Lord, and my eyes fell on, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, In everything give thanks, well I was so mad, I fell on my knees, because I wanted to be obedient, and yet I was so mad at my husband and I started to scream out thank you thank you, I’m glad he’s drunk, and I hit the bed and creamed out some more, and then I went to bed to rest, and Bob came home drunker, and he ate supper.



Then we went to go to our job which was a forty five miles, and while we were driving I was still upset with him, and I didn’t know it at the time, but the Lord was dealing with Bob as he was driving. He dealt with him in a song, You Always hurt the one you love the one you should not hurt at all. When we got to the night club we set up our instruments, and Bob went down to the bar to get a drink and when the bar tender asked him if he wanted the usual Bob said, no, I will have a glass of water, and that night Bob got sober in the club and never to take another drink again. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ. In everything give thanks. It worked God took an ugly situation and turned it into a beautiful situation. He is All Together Lovely!



When we give thanks and are obedient to what the Spirit of the Lord tells us we will see that glory of God being manifested. Do we love God enough that we will obey his command? Jesus said whoever obeys my command is the one who really loves me and I will love them and my Father will love them, and I will reveal myself to them in such power that they can walk in my victory that I have won at Calvary. Oh it is so good to obey the voice of the Lord, even if you do not understand it. Doesn't The Spirit of the Living God say in His Word, Trust in the Lord with all your might and don't lean on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will cause you to have good success.



You see we give God the power to work in our lives when we are obedient, and we are having others delivered, by the cleanness of our hands. God seeks those whom he can show himself strong in behalf of them and to cause confusion to the enemy of our soul. Oh how good it is to give thanks in hard situations and to see the glory of God being manifested.







Sixth Altar: 8/3/74:
Went to the Holy Spirit conference:

Bob and I and June were one of the worship leader teams they had. And I would get so excited in Jesus I could hardly stand it, and I ask the Lord Jesus to help me not to jump so much because I was going to have a pair of platform high healed shoes on, and He knew how clumsy I was. Well when it was time for us to lead in worship, I got so excited that I jumped all over the place and never once turn my ankles.

And the people were getting into the worship with us in dancing. And then the other worship teams would come up and say we want you not to see us, but to see Jesus, and I cried inside, Lord you know that is my one greatest desire for people to see You, and how can see You when I’m jumping around, and I would feel so crushed to think I had failed to let people see the Lord Jesus, because when the other teams would worship and say they want Jesus to be seen they would stand so quiet, and I would say Lord Jesus I wish I could do that.



That night when we went back to our motel room I was still crying inside and I fell asleep, and I was awaken with this Word Jesus gave to His disciples. When you see Me you see the Father, and I screamed, Hallelujah! When they see me they see Jesus, whether I am jumping or standing still, and the Spirit of the Lord comforted me in this trial of people taking me the wrong way.



Jesus did say we would be persecuted when we followed him and all who would live godly will suffer persecution. Sometimes we can't understand why our brothers and sisters take us so wrong when they can't see our hearts how we want to so bring glory to Jesus, Oh, How the heart of that one would ache because they feel so condemned because they can't fit into the mold that others would put them in. 



You see all I had to say was King Jesus, and it would feel like I took a drink. Back in the seventies no one was acting like I was so they thought what I was doing was so wrong, but today it is happening all over the place, and it is the normal thing to do now when the Spirit of the Lord comes upon someone. But back then, I would hear a prophecy that was given about how the Lord was jealous and that he would not share his glory with another, and I would scream in delight, because I just knew the Lord was jealous over me, and that would make the religious people upset, because you were not suppose to act that way. But I knew I belong to Jesus and that His Holy Spirit was living in me.



You know I would be so sure of His Spirit within me that when I was jumping rope one time, I stop and screamed in delight, You are jumping rope with me, and I would be so happy because He was so personal. It was such an intimate fellowship, that no one could understand. 







Seventh Alter: 7/1977
I had a hurtful Gethsemane.

We had a women’s meeting every single month there was about 70 women that would come to these meetings. and I was president of the meetings, and we had the rest of the officers that was needed to one day go into a Women’s Aglow Fellowship, so all the officers we went down state to one of the Aglow meetings they would hold yearly. And I decided to turn it all over to the Lord and ask Him to do as He would want to do.



This one particular meeting the breakfast was late, and the women were getting uneasy, and the Lord told me to have this couple minister in music, and so I did, and then the vice-president wanted to give a testimony about how much fun we had down state. And I said no, the Spirit of the Lord says to have this couple worship, and she was quiet, then a few minutes later she asked again if she could talk, I said no. The Spirit of the Lord says for this couple to worship. Then the vice-president says she was not going to talk at all, and I looked over at my daughter and asked her if she would later give a testimony and she said she would, and it was what the women needed.



Then later on in the day I received a telephone call and the vice-president we are not going to have anymore meetings, this was it, and that they were going to hold a meeting with the officers and some other women that they called to come , and I was accused of manipulating the meetings, and that I had to write a letter and tell the women we would not have anymore meetings. I said can’t we hold one more meeting and let them know, and all the officers said no. Write the letter, and the pastor of the church that I went to was against me, they were all accusing me of all kinds of things but I just kept my mouth shout, and when I went home very hurt, I laid on the living room floor and cried Lord if there could be any other way, but then I screamed with all that was in me, Lord. Not My Will Be Done, But Your Will Be Done, and Lord Jesus came back with a Word, I Understand, The Cross Looked Like Defeat, But It Was Utter Victory!



And I jumped up from the floor and cried You went through the same thing. You cried and asked the Father if there could be any other way, but not My Will but Your will be done. I jumped up and down for sure joy. And then I said what will people think about me, and He came back with dead men don’t worry about what other people think, and I said, oh I just died to this. I laughed. And I sat and wrote the letter about the experience that I had and brought the letter to the officers, and some other women, and they said we can’t accept this there is to much about you in it, I was shocked because I was telling them about my Gethsemane experience, I thought they would be happy about what the Lord has done. Then I said, you write the letter, and they came back with such a cold letter, and I said I'm not going to sign my name on this, you sign it. 



Latter on I thanked the Lord Jesus for allowing this to happen, but this was a growth for me and I appreciate all that happened, because you learn to walk in forgiveness. That is one of the greatest gifts that can be ours to walk in the forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ. That way you don't give satan a foothold to bring bitterness to you. That is one of satan's great tools is to walk in an offense that turns into bitterness. And then serpent eggs begin to hatch, and then the character of satan comes forth, many have lost their way because of walking in offenses that others give to you, but when we know our Lord God and how great he is and that Jesus Christ said I give you power and authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions power over all the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you, we will walk in a different realm where nothing can reach us, and the battle belongs to the Lord God!





Eight Altar: 2-78
A supernatural memory came.

The very next year the Spirit of the Lord visited me with something that was real special, and it was at the time I was hurt, and for five years He would come and visit me in February and March, it was during lent. The first time He came like this was as I was sitting on the floor and it was around the time I was hurt the year before, and I was reading Psalms 118, and all of a sudden I knew that I knew this chapter word for word, and I went to Bob and showed him and he said, how long did that take you and I said I read it over three times, well that month I had 60 chapters of the Psalms in me and I could say them all day long speak them out and then after the month it was gone and I could not say it again Word for word.



The next year He showed up in this way again, and I would have a knowing in my spirit and all the chapters that I had the year before came back and now He was adding some others, and this went on during February and March, and then it would depart, this went on from 1978 to 1983, during February and March I would have chapters memorized before I even got out of bed. The first six chapters of Hebrews, and I was overwhelmed. The last chapter that was put into me this was Revelations chapters 4-22. And then it never came back.





Ninth Altar: 10/31/1979
We moved into our new home.

Before we received our new home, the Spirit of the Lord put a scripture into my heart that we were going to build houses and inhabit them and at that time we were remodeling our trailer, I said is this what You call building? And then I said out of the clear blue, Bob what if the Lord is having us remodel this trailer so we could sell it. And Bob immediately went into prayer and said Lord give us a house close to work. And then Bob got a real desire to add on to the trailer, and so we went to see how we could barrow money to add rooms on to the trailer.



And they turned us down and Bob got upset and what am I’m suppose to do barrow forty thousand dollars to build a house and he stormed out of the office and I said Bob don’t get mad at them, it is not their fault we must praise the Lord for this. Well the very next day at work there was a big add in the paper 7 &3/4 % to finance to build. Well Bob was so excited and he called me up all excited this is better than what I was trying to get, let us build a home, and there was the building the Lord said we would do.





Tenth Altar: 10/31/1980.
I got into an accident

It was on a Sunday morning and I was going to get ready to go to church, and I could hear a tugging on my spirit to stay in Marquette, and I said but they need me at church, and I was praising the Lord and worshipping Him and Loving Him, and I could feel this tug on my spirit again to stay in Marquette, I said I can’t they need me, and so I got dressed and I said well the angel of the Lord is around me and delivers me from destruction. And away I went the twenty miles to go to church.

And the roads were very icy, and I got about 1/2 block from the church and my car went out of control sliding all over from side to side and I put my foot on the brake to stop it and I started heading down off of the road down the hill and I came to a forceful stop and flew out of the driver seat and struck my head on the front widow of the passenger side and then I fell on the floor. And I got up and said well praise the Lord.



This was a Volkswagen, I tried to get the door open and it wouldn’t open then I sat there and was looking at some tops of trees that is all I could see, and then I tried one more time and got the top of the door open and stuck my head out and cried Jesus , Jesus, and someone going to church heard me and said that sounds like Betty down there and they stopped and came running down the hill and got the door opened for me, and they said be careful this car is just sitting and it might move, and I got out climb up the hill, and got to church and immediately I danced and praised the Lord. Then I called Bob.



But during the month of November I got real offended because the Lord let me go into the accident, and I would pick up offenses from people forgetting my birthday, and nobody paying attention to me. It was very bad. After the month I said I don’t care I’m going to rejoice in You anyway, and the praising in side of me came back and I knew the Lord was back. Because He was so quiet and I could not hear Him or even pray but I would stay in my prayer position till my time was up. But I grew in that month, then the Lord says to me. I told you to stay home.





Eleven Altar: 4/5/1981
A healing for my appetite came to me

It was at a Full Gospel Business Men’s meeting I was sitting in church one day and the Spirit of the Lord says go ask for healing for your appetite, and I did, It was at a Full Gospel Business Men’s meeting and the president was saying the scripture of Jesus Christ asking Who do you say that I Am, and Peter answered and said You are the Christ the Son of the Living God, well that word started to race through me, Christ, Messiah, Conquering One, deliverer, the anointing that destroys the yoke of bondage, and that word set me free.



Then every time I went to eat I would thank Jesus for conquering in me. And He would rise up and take over my eating desires. And He went in and changed all my taste buds, where sweet stuff tasted terrible and broccoli tasted sweet and all the stuff I didn’t care for tasted good to me, I took some ice cream at home one day, and spit it out and said who can stand that horrible stuff, and I would put a little piece of cake into my mouth and my mouth would fill up with such horrible rotten taste and I would have to go and wash my mouth out.



I say who can stand that horrible stuff. Then I would when we went to a restaurant after church services on Sunday morning I would go into the restroom and ask Jesus what He would like to eat today, and He would want to eat so He would make me full, and I say You don’t want to eat. And I would go and watch everyone else eat. I would laugh. Because He was so real. This went from 1981-1984





Twelfth Altar: 2/1984 
February & March of Being fed supernaturally:

We were going to Minneapolis; our pastor was taking us there to learn about teaching Sunday school. And when we were driving for quite a while, I started to get so hungry, and when we stopped for gas, I got out of the car and went to the pastor’s car and asked when are we going to eat I am so hungry, and he said when we get to a real nice place we will stop, I said I hope it is soon.

I kept getting hungry and hungrier, well we finally got to a restaurant and I said I’m going to order everything a great big steak and salad bar baked potato, and so I did, while we were waiting for our food I got so full and the pastor said now what is the matter. I said I don’t think I’m going to be able to eat, he said your the one who got us to stop and eat, I said, But I am so full I wont be able to take one bite, and then this one lad that went with us I see he just ordered coffee and I told him he would have to eat my food, he said good I didn’t have any money.



And I got so happy and laughed and watched everybody else eat. This happened to me in February and March I would be so hungry at home and by the time I would get to the refrigerator I would get so full so in those two months I was eating supernaturally from Thursday through Sunday. And then I would eat the other days. Sometimes I would be in a restaurant and start talking about the Lord and get so excited I would get full and when the food would come I would have to give it to someone who didn’t order.





Thirteenth Altar: 11/ 1984
Started my journey to a higher place.

A prophet came to our church one day and gave each one of us a Word, and he spoke to me to get prepared to go to a higher place with God. I thought, wow! I'm sure enjoying the Lord now as it is, and then to go higher. I was really elated, the very next day I lost my temper in church in front of everyone. This started a period cleansing that lasted for eight years. Every time I hear someone say the Lord wants us to go higher, and people would get so excited. And I would think they have no idea of what that really means.





Fourteenth Altar: 12/4/1984,
I lost my prayer chair:

It started with a phone call from a man who knew me but I didn’t know him, and he spoke very bad and I hung up and soon the phone would ring again and I would hang up and the tormentor called about five times, and the fifth time I told him he was going to get in trouble, and then he asked what he could do and I said accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior, and he hung up never to call again.



One day as I was praying all of a sudden these thoughts would come to me that were very filthy and I had to leave my prayer chair, and walk around, and pray, and I would try to run away from the thoughts. I thought they were of me, because Bob and I would sit and watch filthy movies, and these things would come back. And I would be reading and all of a sudden the thoughts would come and the feelings would come and I would have to run and go shopping with my friend, and I would do everything to get away from the thoughts. I could hardly read, I would force myself to read, and I could not have one place to pray, I would have to go every where, and then Bob and I were doing services in the prison and that was going on for almost a year.



The Lord during this time of cleansing was very gentle with me and He would come to me in special ways and that would stop the torment and then the fight would start again, and I would see my flesh so much and I grew to hate it and there was no power to perform what I wanted to do, after three years of this I picked up a book I had read a few times but decided I needed it. And the first page I looked at was when the Lord wants to take someone to a higher place. Well that caught my eye, and I read and saw that the Holy Spirit removes the veil that has been covering that person, and then this person sees nothing but their flesh and they start the struggle of Romans seven, until the Holy Spirit gets them to the higher place, which is a deeper death.



I went wow, but even with that revelation I still had to go through more and more revealing of the flesh and all the junk that was in me. And He allowed me to see how horrible the flesh really truly is. And the flesh wants no part of God. He had showed me that it was His grace that made me love His Word, and it was not of my own self.





Fifteenth Altar: 11/1985
Had a visitation from the Lord God

I was writing a letter to a prisoner and to another prisoner’s wife about the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, when all of a sudden the love of God over whelmed me and I was just beside myself I would cling to the wall trying to get in and then I fell on my knees and cried over His great Love and then I saw myself up on the mountain, and all of a sudden the wind came and sucked me right into the Lord and it shook me so bad it left it’s mark upon me the whole night.





Sixteenth Altar: 9:87
Breaking through a black door

I was down state at a woman’s retreat, and I was to be the speaker, for the Friday night service. And Friday morning we were in the chapel praising the Lord when I saw a black door in front of me. I called it a threshold and it stayed with me through the lunch hour, and the head one for the retreat asked me if I wanted to get alone with the Lord before and I said I would love to, and I went into the cabin and laid across the bed with this threshold door in front of me, and I was struggling to go through it and I said Lord I’m willing to go through this, I don’t know what it is, and from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm I pushed and at 5:00 pm light broke through and there I was running dressed in white with gold belt around my waist, and I was holding a lighted torch up high and I had green winged shoes on my feet and running in the wind. That night when it was time to speak the Spirit of the Lord broke through and gave scripture to every single woman that was there concerning their life, and none of these women I knew. Glory be to God




Seventeenth Altar: 7/1988
Another visitation from the Lord.

Let me start out with this one thing. We were at an Aglow meeting here in Marquette, and the president of the Local Aglow chapter approached me when the meeting was over and said they had money to send someone up to the Aglow retreat, and I told her I didn’t want to go, and she would not let me alone, and I made up some excuses which she wouldn’t accept, and then I said when is it, and she said Thursday and I said I can’t go, I have a Bible Study and she said when is your study I said in the morning and she said this was at night, so I gave up and the secretary wrote out a check for me, and went up to the Retreat scraping my heals all the way.



Then on Thursday night in an Aglow Retreat when we were worshipping I said everything Lord, I give everything, and then I sat down on the floor and put my head on the chair weeping, all of a sudden I was in a vision and I was kneeling at the foot of the cross, and the light from heaven was beaming down on me, and it seemed like a long time, and then the vision turned where I was weeping over Jesus Christ feet my tears were running over His feet, and then on the mountain, I saw my self come out of Jesus and I was dressed in white, and the wind was blowing softly and I was looking over the mountain, and as I was looking He said to me wherever you are looking I’m going to send you. And I could see He was smiling, and then I came out of the vision and got up from the floor and felt in awe.



The next day when we were worshipping again I could see the Lord bending down at my feet and removing some chains from my ankles and he would show me a great big ball with a word on it and it described a part of my life, and there was five big ball and chain He removed.

Then it was an hour before lunch and the president of the retreat said we had an hour and for each one to take that hour by themselves and spend it with the Lord, and I did, and as I was meditating on the visions that I saw, I ask the Lord, Why back in 1985 when I was up on the mountain I was in my old clothes and an big wind came and sucked me into you with such force. And now this time I came out of You with white clothes on?



And He said, back then you were sucked into the furnace, and this time you were coming out purified. And when you go you will come out of Me to bring My Word. I said Oh Lord I love You so much and I didn’t even want to go here but thank You for not letting me have my own way.





Eighteenth Altar: 10/1989
San Francisco earthquake

In the morning of that day I was busy doing something and the Spirit of the Lord says Worn My people about the disasters that are coming. Well at five o’clock that evening San Francisco was struck with an earthquake and it was a very bad one, and that one overhead highway was flat and on the news they said there can’t be anyone living in there and the Spirit of the Lord spoke up and said there is one living one in there. I thought I’m not going to say anything to anybody, and sure enough many hours latter they found a living man in there and I fell on my face in fear and said Lord You really mean it to warn people. But who is going to listen to me?





Nineteenth Altar: 4/1/1990.
Another Vision;

As I was making my bed that morning, I kept getting a vision of me down at the Ramada Inn, giving my testimony. And I would put a stop to it and say that's enough stop day dreaming, and again I would be seeing myself down at the Ramada Inn again I try to put a stop to it, told it to be gone, and the third time, I said I’m getting out of this room and ran down stairs and sat at the piano to play a few chords and I was getting real heavy, and I though well maybe the Lord wants to say something. So I took a pen and paper and started to write and He said I’m sending you out, you will be amazed at all that I plan on doing. And the visions that you are seeing are of Me, and don’t fear rejection, but you are accepted now. You will be seeing in a different realm. And the little touches that you touch are going to grow into big touches and over whelm you.



The very next day the president of Aglow called me and asked if I would give my testimony this month, and I read to her the prophecy that the Lord had given me, and she said we were right on. The night that I gave my testimony the place was full and I looked about and saw with my eyes the faces and a little fear tried to jump on me, and I heard fear not I’m here. And peace came over me when I got up to give my testimony it touched quite a few people, and the Lord ministered greatly to the people.





Twentieth Altar: 4/25/1990
My mother died

Our God is so real and so near to us at all times. He had told me back in 1980 that she had ten years, and when the nursing home called me here in 1990 and ask if they could put an intervenes in my mother. I said yes, but then I called up my Heavenly Father and asked Him to have mercy upon my mother, I said she would have to have that intervenes for four months. Please Father have mercy, I don’t want to see her, like that, and they called right back and said Your mother just slipped away before we could give the intervenes I said praise the Lord and I told the nurse what happened. And she understood.

Seven years after the word,

It was seven years when the word of get prepared to go to a high place with God, I started to see in the Spirit realm. I was listening to a tape that had my voice on it I tapes all the names of God, and all of a sudden I saw a vision, a woman that was bound from her neck all the way down to her feet, like a mummy is bound, and two black figures were standing on each side of her, and they picked her up and carried her over to a vat filled with boiling oil, and put her in feet first, she went down slowly and when her head went under, the bounds broke and she was dancing wildly before the Lord, I screamed there’s no death, there’s no death. I was shocked, it shook my whole being, and this started the freedom of what I was bound with. Feelings that took over my being. My heart ached during those times.





Twenty second altar:
I found my heart crooked;

This one day I was so heavy and I was trying to play piano I remember I was feeling so crushed, and I ran upstairs flung myself across my bed and screamed my heart is wicked, my heart is wicked, and the Holy Spirit came back with in Christ, and I looked up and said that’s right my victory is in Christ, and I thanked Him for being so good and got my eyes off of self and unto the cross and started my journey to righteousness in Christ Jesus.





Twenty third altar:
Shout it from the roof tops:

While I was praying and reading in Matthew, the Scripture jumped out at me. "What I tell you in darkness shout it out from the roof tops, and I said to the Lord. I’m afraid of heights, and I would not know how to get up there they would think I was crazy and who would hear me, and then He showed me a television set. And all the antennas hooked up to the roof. And I said, is that what You mean? I’m sure not going to tell anyone that. About three months later the president of the Local Woman’s Aglow as me if I ever thought about going on Television, and then I told her what the Lord has told me, and we prayed for sometime and she came up with "Coffee with Betty"





Twenty fourth Altar: 9:91
We started Coffee With Betty

Blessed be the name of the Lord. Bob went down and bought a desk we already had a camera, and he bought some curtains and we started right away. We are now 267 tapes we have done in the five years that we have been taping. The Lord is so faithful every week He was right there to give the Study, and there was a time I was getting really sure of my self and a little proud, when I said I bet I could take any word and give a bible study on it. So I tried and I was so miserable I was stuttering, I could not read, I said stop the camera, I have to repent. Then the President of Women’s Aglow said. "I was thinking what is the matter with Betty?" So that was the only time in the 285 tapings that I tried that.



Then we started three more ministries. Master’s Call, UpBeat with Jesus, U.P. Servants. I would be busy five days a week.



Twenty fifth Altar: 1993,
The Cross became more real to me.

The programming was tuned over to me and was I uptight. That meant I had to do the interview and the teaching. Then the Cross became more and more real to me. I would have to seek the Lord Jesus more, I then started to change the format and got singers to be with me to listen to the preaching and have them to match it with a song. Then I got a woman that could end with prayer. And it went real good.





Twenty sixth Altar: 1994
Started to pick up offenses.

I started to go into a spirit that picks up offenses. I felt like I was not wanted anymore or needed. I felt like no one accepted me. And a different kind of a battle started, and the very self life (king I) had to die deeper. It was a hard fight. I could not get anyone to say they appreciated me, or to even pray for me. They would pray for every other ministry but mine. And I thought I don’t belong here. And I talked it out with a prophetic person one time, and they said. That is good, because if they get involved you would not be able to say or do what the Spirit of the Lord would have you to say. She said it is good for you that the Lord is taking you this way. So I accepted that, but it was still hard. I still had the deep hurt inside of me.





Twenty seventh altar: 4/10/1995
I went to Toronto Canada

I went to the Toronto Blessing with a group of women and I was still feeling the effects of the offenses, and I was looking for something from the Lord. I knew He wouldn’t reject me. So the first night at the meeting. I was O.K. and I was being blessed, but the second night when I went up for prayer, I stood in the prayer line for hours, and they kept by passing me, and I was beginning to hurt physically my feet from standing, and my shoulders and my head was pounding. And so I left the place where I was standing and I said to the Lord Jesus. I’m very disappointed; I told them back home that I was going to get something big from You, and where is it. I’m hurting and no one seems to care.



And then in the spirit realm I saw a little package, and I said, what is this? And He opened it and it was a diamond that was oblong and it looked like a crystal, I received it like an insult. I guess because I was hurting from rejection and hurting in the body, and besides the women I went with were having a great time and I was miserable. Finally at three o’clock in the morning we got to go home, and I cried myself to sleep. The next day when we went to the morning meeting, I was telling one of the woman that last night the Lord gave me a diamond, and when I said that I gasped and said that’s the glory of God, and I ran and got my Bible and looked up in Revelation 21:11 John was describing the Lamb’s wife. She was cloth in God’s glory, in all its splendor and radiance. The luster of it resembled a rare and most precious jewel, like jasper, shining clear as crystal.



I was so elated I forgot all my pain from the night before, and I rejoiced in my Savior, (and one thing the Lord always had me in a white wedding gown and we are always dancing. And one night as I had this and my eyes were close one of the ministering team came to me and said let the Bride rise up and dance over the wheat fields. ) well that night we went to have our cloths prayed for and the music leader said no I will not do that because it becomes an idol and they get their eyes off of Jesus, and I said holding my hands out to him. I promised to bring something home to two ladies, and he went right into a worship and said Lord I recognize the vessel, Lord I recognize the vessel, and I was just beside myself and I said the Lord recognizes me, He knows me, and I got such a beautiful prophetic prayer about using my voice for the Lord in preaching and teaching.



No one could take what I have received that night away from me. Every offense left, and the hurt with it. And it has been gone ever since. I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was accepted in the Lord I did not have to have man’s approval or acceptance The Lord put up with me, but He understood me and His mercy was extended to me and He was so gracious towards me. I was flying high, and on the way home He started to reveal more about His Jewels. Malachi 3:16-18. I tell you He took me out of those horrible self pity hurts. Always wanting some one to approve of me, or to confirm me. I always felt like I was alone.



You see the Lord allows a person to be set aside and rejected, the other people don’t even realize it but He has a special plan for the one, and it has to come to the place of I am fully accepted in Christ Jesus. I ask the Lord to forgive me for thinking so little of His gift, but only got excited when it grew. Oh Lord how we must hurt Your heart when we reject what You give to us. I was so concern about self that I could hardly receive the gift from the Lord. When we want self to be recognize offenses will come, but there is always a deliverance in the cross Hallelujah!!

Went back to Calvary:

I went back to Toronto with some people from the church, and had a lasting experience. I can’t tell all but the part that really affected my life was in Thursday evening service. I was on my face and I saw something that could be worshipped. It was a figure sitting on a throne, the eyes were bright, and I was just about ready to bow down and worship when the covering was taken off and the most ugliest thing was sitting there. I said what a deception!



Then I saw a burning Cross, and I said this too is a deception, and the Lord said no. Where there is a counterfeit there is always a truth. And He told me how everything was burnt up in that fiery judgment of the Cross. All my past everything of Adam no matter what it was burnt up in the judgment. And then we walked through the cross. And we were on a narrow path. Just the Lord and I. And we were fellowshipping and telling secrets, and there was a ditch along each side of the path, and there were little black things trying to come up on the path but they would slide back off.



And then when we were half way down the path the Lord had me turn around and I saw the cross and it was pulsating with glory, and I thought of Paul God forbid that I should glory in anything but the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. And we continued on and when we were just about to enter into the most beautiful throne room there was a leprous thing in rags trying to come but it shriveled up to nothing. And then we went in.



And I was holding this ball that was so beautiful, and I stood in awe of all the beauty of the throne room it was so pure and bright and shined like crystal and the one sitting on the throne was like crystal. I hit my breast and all of a sudden this big bulge was coming out of me and it resembled everything in the throne room. And I said what is this, and I heard beauty of Holiness. Then I glanced back and I still saw the Cross pulsating with glory, and I woke up out of the trance I was in. And was in awe, and this vision has kept me and my thought life



Then when I was prayed for again I saw myself in a little boat with no oars on a peaceful river. Off in a distance there was turmoil, like the Niagara falls. But where I was very peaceful. I thought it is the river of grace. But when we got back from Toronto, The Spirit of the Lord gave me the verse in Isaiah 33: 21. There the glorious Lord will be our mighty one, He will be broad rivers, no enemy boats will be on that river, no powerful ships will sail on them. Hallelujah!! This is the Altars in my Christian life. That means so much. Where I can look and see where the Might Holy Spirit has taken me. Hallelujah!! To God be the glory for all that He has done.
