Louise teaches on agape love to start with, a type of love we don’t usually teach.
Here’s a good description of “agape love” from AI.
“Agape love is the highest form of love—unconditional, sacrificial, and rooted in the will to seek another’s good, regardless of merit or reciprocation. It is the love God shows to humanity and the love Christians are called to embody.
🕊️ What Is Agape Love?
Agape (Greek: ἀγάπη) refers to selfless, willful, and sacrificial love that desires the highest good for others.
It is not based on emotion, attraction, or obligation, but on a deliberate choice to love—even when it’s hard or undeserved.
In Christian theology, agape is the love God has for humanity, demonstrated most clearly through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross (John 15:13; Romans 5:8).”
And here is more Scripture:
Biblical Foundations
1 Corinthians 13 is often cited as the clearest description of agape love:
“Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
1 John 4:8 declares, “God is love,” emphasizing that agape is not just something God does—it is who He is.
Jesus commands His followers to love with agape: “Love your enemies” (Matthew 5:44), and “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34).
Much more on love and how it works in Scriptural teachings.
Jail ministry which Louise does on weekly visits pointed to as very gratifying. Love teaches us all. Everyone wants peace in some fashion or another, and Jesus made peace possible for all of us.
Various topics that Louise deals with in this teaching. Below are a few notes from Part 1. Go to end of this section for notes on Part 2
Notes on Part 1
The sovereignty of God. What is it? Much of what she teaches comes from Scriptural lessons from Pastor Bob Yandiuan, Tulsa, Oklahoma, a professor and pastor at one time at Rhema Bible program, Tulsa.
God knows the past, present and future. He sees all, and knows everything from the foundation of the world.
God allowed for free will but he saw all, if you would be saved, or not, etc.
You have “free choice” even God knows what you will choose. He predestined your life.
Redemptive sovereignty is from the Garden of Eden to the Cross.
If you are predestined, why even listen to God on such issues as salvation, healing, etc.
However, you’re not a puppet. Adam had a will just as you have a will.
You can follow the word, you can receive or turn it down. But you have to receive it.
You have been given the Holy Spirit to help you make right decisions.
Even the best of us can hear, but choose not to hear and obey.
So, God’s sovereignty is given to all, but must be accepted freely and he has also given us his word and his gifts.
People are hung up on God’s sovereignty. In healing, for example, some people do not receieve their healing and so believe it hasn’t been given to you.
God wants to speak to you on all situations. You have to listen to him.
So, in healing, he has spoken that “all shall be healed.”
Louise retells the story of the blind man who Jesus asked, “what do you want?” The blind man said, duh, “I want to see!” Jesus wanted to hear his words, see Chapters 15 and 16 of Matthew. Healing is life everlasting. Please listen to Scripture and believe it is for you.
There are certain factors which, however, will keep you from healing. You have to have a vision to attach your faith to. Patience and love are necessary to stand in to receive your healing.
It’s because of the atonement that we receive divine healing. You don’t need to ask God. You are a well, born-again, child of God who is refusing to receive sickness. God has given me healing as part of the atonement for salvation.
Then Louise provdes some examples of how deal with symptoms and sicknesses and how you need to deal with them directly though faith in the atonement/faith message.
I have received salvation and healing through the atonement.
People all around you are watching you. How are you living with regard to salvation and healing for example.
Think about these things. Like, is God a child abuser. No! He does not take children tor his Kingdom because needs some “new angels.” Our God does not do that! Study instead what he says in his Word, and what he has done fo us.
Bye, bye.

Notes on Part 2
What is the sovereignty of God in Scripture? My instructor in this is Pastor Bob Yandian, Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can find his teachings online.
God predistinates based on his foreknowledge. God knows the past, present, and future. We know about the first two, but not the third, the future. God sees everything from the very foundation of the world.
God didn’t take your free will out of the picture but he knew what you were going to do, predestination.
God’s sovereiognty does not negate human responsibility to choose, although he knows everything about you.
All have a choice to make a decision about salvation, etc. You have free will. But God knows what you will choose.
Louise explores this subject at length. Make sure you opted for “live caption” to not simply llsten to Louise, but to read what she says as it appears in print automatically in a box below.
On healing God has specifically spoken that all should be healed. Faith is ignited by what comes out of your mouth, (like the story of the blind man who Jesus healed) and Jesus said he will do for you what you ask for.
Faith, patience, and love are factors important in receiving God’s healing. Listen all the way to the end for the full lesson.

Louise teaching from Matthew 13:3-9 and 18-23 today. See Scripture immediately below. Chapter title is “The Parable and the Sower.”
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
This lesson is a continuation of first one Louise did on Sept. 1, 2025 on the Sower of the Seed.
Seek Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom.
Also, see notes from previous lesson.
“Let us go to the other side [of the lake]” Jesus said with certainty.
Jesus spoke through faith in the circumstances.
Trials and tribulations build faith.
“Deceitfulness is a hard one.” We have every need through Christ Jesus. Key to prosperity is that you are the master of money and money is not your master.
Check out your priorities. What is it? It’s not wealth but the word of God. You hear the word.

Some of her points. Need to speak with knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
Knowledge: we have to pursue
Understanding: comes to us through the Holy Spirit
Wisdom: teaches how to take knowledge and apply it in our lives.
Wisdom is also good common sense.
On the parable of the sower of the seed. Soils and hearts very similar, some great and receptive, others stony and hard.
To have a prosperity crop, you need to prepare the soil; same with knowledge and wisdom and the heart.
Teaching in the jail very instructive.
How to deal with trials and tribulations, cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches.
Louise teaches in this lesson on asnwered prayer. How do we pray? How do we know our prayers will be answered? Largely, as always, on lessons on prayer, such as the Apostle Paul’s, in Scripture.
Louise and Pastor Sammy Hughes, New Life Outreach Church, Cottondale, Alabama in their series “Living in the Word.” Pastor Sammy teaching on getting the word of God so it will be instructive and useful in our lives.
Louise addressed teaching in Tuscaloosa County Jail, mentioning that all Christians are called to the ministry of reconciliation.
Among lessons Louise and Sammy presented were:
Seed the Faith
God sowed and we do the reaping
God loves, God gave and God gave his love away
Salvation call discussed. God so loves you. You should give to others as God gives to you
