We’ve been asked a few times lately what in the world G.P. means. (Beth says it in the Esther videos.) G.P. stands for God’s Property, which is from Kirk Franklin’s song “Stomp.” It’s an LPM favorite. God’s Property is actually the name of the choir that partnered with him on that song. This is not great quality, but here’s the video for you. Enjoy!
Glory, glory!
Amanda, bless your little heart for filling us in on “G.P.”! We had our Bible study yesterday morning and we didn’t have a clue “who” or “what” G.P. was! ha I kept thinking maybe it was one of Beth’s close friends from out of town or something attending that session. Glad to know she was talking to US! I’ll have to fill the ladies in on what it means.
We are absolutely loving Esther! We are getting to know the Bible better, Beth better and each other better!
I loved the literary terms and explanations used in Session 6. Right down my alley!
Thanks again.

Beth, Thank you so much for explaining GP…our Bible group is doing Esther and didn’t have a clue what GP meant…makes sense now. Love you….
Thanks so much for clearing this up! I was one of those who wrote in asking what G.P. meant. Our bible study group went nuts trying to figure it out. We guessed the following: “God’s Princesses”, “God Papers”, “God’s Peeps” — LOL! Can’t wait to share the true meaning of G.P. with my Sisters during our final Esther session this coming Saturday morning. 🙂
Oh HOORAY! I used to love this song but forgot about it…thanks for the reminder!! I instantly went to itunes to buy it but I cannot find it there! Do any of you Siestas see this song on there????
We love us some Kirk Franklin at Mission Raleigh! If you would like, I can hook ya’ll up with some great titles that our kids (especially our teenagers) just love! I can’t think of anything more “dope” than rapping scripture.
Oh yea!!! I love to put the grove on to this song!!
I’m with ya G.P.!!!!!!
Love this song! I downloaded it to my iPod after we sang it at Tuesday night bible study (during Wising Up or Breaking Free..?) – Anyway- definitely one of my favorites!
Thank you so much for telling us that Amanda. Not knowing what GP was was driving me crazy and I told the ladies that I would find out for them. So thanks.
I lead a group of about 30 women on Tuesday mornings and we finished Esther last week and this past Tuesday we had a morning of fellowship and watched the movie One Night with the King. It was great to see the differences. Even better to KNOW the difference.
All of us Ladies agree Esther was Beth’s best study yet. We love taking a book of the Bible chapter by chapter, like The Patriarchs. THANK YOU MISS BETH! WE LOVE YOU!
check out a group on GODtube called relentless ministries…they do a remake to that song (a dance) that is great!!!
We love us some Kirk Franklin at Mission Raleigh! If you would like, I can hook ya’ll up with some titles that are kids (especially our youth) just love! There is nothing more “dope” than rapping scripture.
LOVE IT! I have always wondered what GP meant. Thanks for the revelation!
say AMEN !
Yep! It was this study and my search for the answer…(I found it in the old blog entries last year)…that caused me to buy that CD AND another Kirk Franklin CD. I love the music, but I can’t dance that good. But it doesn’t stop me from trying! Much to the embarassment of my 11 year old daughter.
Can I get a witness!?

THANK YOU! Muchas Gracious! I needed that-and I am almost 60 and I just rocked with the Holy Spirit right here at my desk- we need to remember God invented fun-
Siesta playlist??? Oooh, I’d love to see that one. Must search for it!
Never, ever heard the song – smiled the whole way through – love to see God’s people having a good time!
Can hardly wait to tell my Esther group what GP means! Love you!!! And I’m with you!
Glory! Glory!!! Loved the video! Not sure my teenage daughter thought my moves were all that….but I’d like to think God loves our praises to Him even if we are white chicks wishin’ for a little more rythym in our bones. I’m off to buy all of his cd’s now….
“Oh Yea, We Havin’ Church – Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere!”

My 2.5 year old little girl was sitting in her high chair enjoying some red jello and when I clicked on the vidoe she got SO EXCITED and said “mommy I get down I get down….I need to DANCE!
Of couse I let her down and we got our dancing on to Stomp in my kitchen!
GLORY, GLORY! Takes me right back to taping Breaking Free at Franklin Avenue! Oh Yeah, We Havin’ Church – Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere! Even when the power went out! God’s power is great!! G.P.!
Too funny cause my eldest’s son’s youth choir just performed a routine to ‘Stomp’ this past month. I love Kirk Franklin’s music.
My son made it a point to tell me what G.P. meant. 🙂
Loved it! GP! Bought and paid for.
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Hugs,
Mary
Love the song and boy do I wish I could join you in whooping it up. Unfortunately, I like Steve Martin in “The Jerk” just don’t got the beat. But, I sure like that. I need to find that and get it on my MP3 player. We will be doing ESTHER in the fall so I am a step up on my sisters. Thanks and I sure would like to be in the car behind you Beth and watch you get down!

I’m facilitating the Esther study at our church and we have a wonderful group of 30 women who are LOVING this study!!!! Week 6 DVD is this Sunday. Wooohoooo!
Love, love, love the video and the song!
Blessings,
Ginger
You’re so cool! I’m with you! My granddaughter and I love to romp and stomp to this!

We were close….we thought it meant “God’s People”…but I’ll be sure to tell everyone next week!!
I too have been known to cause quite a commotion while “praisin'” in my car….especially when i forget to notice the light has turned green!
I loved Amanda’s post…..about the mask and about “GP”. We’re in the second to last week of Esther and the girls have been guessing what they think Beth means when she says “GP”–noone has been right! Tomorrow, I’ll tell them!
We are so thankful for your ministry at Living Proof!
love in Christ–judy
I love it! I’m going to have to visit Lifeway and find this CD. I haven’t heard his music before I don’t think!
Thank you for clearing that one up! We were all wondering last night…
I talk about my Beth Moore closet in my video blog today if anyone’s interested.
Love you Beth and crew!
peace~elaine
Thank you! I don’t think anyone in our Esther study caught it, but I was very curious.
Never heard the song before…
but I’m leaving here and going straight to ITunes…
didn’t take long for me to answer back, out of my seat,
Oh Yeah, We havin’ church, ain’t goin’ nowhere!
This kind of music stirs something inside of me I cannot explain! LOVE IT!!!
ps – my teenage son just asked me from his bedroom—“What are you doing Mom??”
“I’m havin’ church in here by myself!”
I’m with ya!!!
We just finished the Esther study Tuesday night and were very reluctant to bring it to a close! It’s not tough being a woman when you have siestas who will study with you, pray for you, and love you for who (and Whose) you are!!
When we got to the “G.P.” mentions, about half of us knew what it was and I couldn’t get the song out of my head. Love it and still turn it up when it comes on my local Christian radio station. Thanks for putting up the video,Amanda and Beth – I’m raisin’ that roof right along with you, siesta!
I thought she was asking the “General Public”!! ha ha ha
Glory !
Dear siestas, please pray, Fargo (ND) and surrounding communities are getting hit hard. The flood is overwhelming and snow on top of it.
I’m leaning hard on my 1st scripture vs…Proverbs 3: 5-6 amp.
Much thanks Beth for this blog and all the reminders that we are indeed GP!

HAHAHA. I love this song too. I’ve been trying to bring it back into my mix these last few months. Didn’t know about the video though LOL. Awesomeness.
LOVE this song – one of my all time favorites! When I’m walking with it on my Ipod I can’t just walk anymore, I have to dance! (the sista in me comes out every time!) 😉 Glory glory!
Oh yeah, I’m with ya’! That is one of my favorite songs/videos – you can’t help but want to just get up and “get your praise on”!! And Beth, I’m am so with you on the taste in music. I’ve got several of Kirk’s cds downloaded on my computer at work and listen to them often. The only problem is tryin’ to keep still and not sing out loud!
And Rachel, I know what you mean about Salt ;o)
Oh can we please get Travis to do some of this at LPL? How fun would that be??
LOVIN’ IT!!! We were trying to figure out GP at Bible Study this past Monday night. Can’t wait to “enlighten” everybody!!
Love you Beth!
I love it! I’m a 61 year old moving and stomping Grandma for the LORD…G.P. all right! Hey, let’s move it for the LORD…”in Him we live and move and have our being!” We are never to old to keep movin and groovin for the LORD, and I feel His pleasure when I do. Come on, Siestas! Let’s do it for His pleasure, and teach your grandchildren to dance for Jesus too. They love it! They raise their little hands in joy and abandon and we have the best time praising Him.

Now, let’s get the groove on for Jesus!
Praise Him! I said, “Praise Him! to the beat…..”
Oh yea….Oh yea….Oh yea
We’re Havin’ Church, Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere!
How’s that for a GP Glory Hallelujah!

Do you think Kirk and his G.P. can come to the Siesta Celebration next January??????
Oh, yeah, we havin’ church, we ain’t goin’ nowhere!
Kirk Franklin is wonderful, especially his “Hero” CD.
Thank you for the encouragment of your ministry 🙂

THANK YOU! I recently added “Stomp” to my i-pod and wondered what GP stood for. I absolutely dig Kirk Franklin!
This is my personal revival song! Make the hair on my legs grow!! G.P. are you with me?!
i CAN’T WAIT to get to heaven with all you people!!
So this shed’s some light as to what really goes on at the LPM office all day. We are on to you guys. I think there’s alot of hairspray happening, onion rings eaten and a whole lotta dancing in the streets. I think the book of Esther has really affected you guys!
(O.k, I confess, it’s starting to affect me too!)
Actually, Beth, thank you for the visual of you AND Sabrina car-praisin’ – beautiful! Love it! Thanks!
Ok! So why can’t I find this song on itunes? Is it locked up in the vault like old Disney movies? Seriously…I want to jam to this song. Can anybody tell me how and/or where to download it? Help!! 🙂
Lindsey in Louisiana
YES! Awesome! Thanks for sharing this Amanda. I will share this with my group of ladies when we get to session 6.
Much love,
Sharon, NC
We also just finished our Esther series. It was absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank you Beth for bringing me closer to the Lord!!
Is there an explanation for the peace sign?
