My Dear Sister
God has not overlooked you
He has not ignored you
He hears every petition
And intimately knows
The heart beneath it.
Give Him full access
To all your longings
Pray every single day
To become a person who delights in Him.
When it seems to disappear
Remember to check your JAW
Are you jealous?
Are you angry?
Are you worried?
Roll it all on Jesus
He’s strong enough to carry it
Big enough to handle it.
Trust God with all your heart
Now leave this place
And go into the world
And do some GOOD.
Thank you for putting this up! These were such beautiful words to end a beautiful simulcast! My mom and I got through about two lines before we were crying these beautiful words to each other rather than saying them! =) Beth blessed us so much this weekend and we are still basking in God's goodness from it!
Thanks for posting this, Amanda!
Loved it. Thanks for posting!
Thanks again for posting this, Amanda! And for sharing your words with us again, Beth. You are both such a blessing.
Thanks Amasnda. This was very powerful. Ther whole weekend has me so pumped, I feel like a kid on a sugar high!
Love ya'll,
Jan
I wish I could have recorded the second session. the one on Saturday morning before the break. Beth you almost broke my heart. I stopped taking notes. I just sat there stunned. Like a deer in the headlights while you spoke right at me. Right. At. Me.
I need to hear it again! about 200 more times. I want to understand.
oh, and for breakfast we had amongst the danish and coffee….moon pies. I've posted a photo on my blog. Just thought that would bless your heart.

Thank you so much for your thoughts. It could not have come at a better time. We just left a church plant because we needed more intense teachings instead of basic christian teaching as was the way of this church. But it is like we have dropped off the face of the earth. Not one person has spoken to us. I feel so crushed as we were not out to hurt anyone by leaving. Where is God in all this??? Really, Have I disappointed Him?
Your posting came at the right time. Thank you Rebecca…Canada
Would love to have the commissioning statements that Beth had us say to each other in Fargo too!!
I needed to hear that more than you know this morning! I didn't make it to the simulcast, so thank you for posting!
Love it… needed that this morning! : )
I couldn't go to the Simulcast : ( but I prayed for you all throughout and felt as if I was there in my heart! Know it was a HUGE blessing (as always!) Have adored reading all the comments!
Counting days till Memphis!
Emmy : )
Sweet Amanda,
You are an answer to a prayer this morning.
Thank you for that commission! I was disappointed to have missed the simulcast but, thrilled to be able to keep tabs through the LPM Blog. Thank you for the work you ladies are doing here. I am so grateful for Beth and LPM in our generation!
Oh my goodness. That's awesome!!
Hello! I didn't get to attend this event, but I knew Beth would be teaching on Psalm 37, so I asked my son, James, to read it to us this weekend. What wonderful words of promise….
The commissioning is beautiful!
Hugs,
Adrienne
'Do Some Good' has been the theme of this last weekend for me! I wasn't able to attend the simulcast but I heard that phrase several times on Saturday and then on Sunday morning it was the topic of the sermon at the church we visited! I know now God is speaking to me. I need to find my place in this world as Michael W. Smith says in his song, and will also remember to check my JAW on a regular basis. This was a powerful commissioning! If at all possible, please consider making the simulcast into a DVD to be purchased. It sounds like it's something we could all benefit from hearing more than once.
I'm loving that God continues speaking through you in such a powerful way! Thank you Beth, for listening so lovingly to His call for you.
Blessings for a restful week for all of you at LPM, a simulcast is hard work!
thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU for posting this. EXACTLY what I needed this morning. Your ministry is a true gift from God.
Thanks for posting this. I was at a simulcast with my darling daughter, and we got to speak these words to each other. I'm asking God to move in a mighty way because of these words in both our lives. He is faithful.
Beth, it was a great teaching, may the fruit of your efforts be multiplied over and over! I pray rest and strength for you, and I'm blessed to sit under your teaching. I love you. May the heart of your desires satisfy you beyond reason.
And oh by the way…God sees beyond the heart of our desires to the heart of our desires (chiastic structure) touches me deeply…as I delight in Him this morning.
Thank you so much for sharing that – what an inspiration for those of us who didn't get to attend – thanks for letting us still have a little piece of cake:)
Thank you!
Did you write that just to me? I've felt much of everything mentioned. Life has a way of attacking and destroying.
Thank you for the encouragement.
God is good!
Reading this is an powerful as it was to say it on Saturday…Thank you!!!
The Lord was moving so pwerfully Saturday in Green Bay as we prayed that prayer over each other! I couldn't even say the words most of the time because I was crying so hard. I found out after that nearly everyone in our group had the same experience! I am so thankful you published this prayer, because I hardly remebered it for tears… 🙂 We were SO blessed to be in Green Bay for the conference!
I don't know why you decided to put the commissioning on the blog again, but I'm so glad you did. Sharing these words with a woman who has been supportive, encouraging and loving to me over the last few years, at the event this weekend meant so much to me. We are friends/co-teachers/sisters in Christ who often speak faith to one another.
Thank-you again for the simulcast. The Word and the worship were precious to me.

Thank you Beth so much for the message this weekend in Green Bay. I was there and it was heart warming to see you. This teaching this weekend has opened my eyes that no matter what happens God DOES love me more than anything, and I can DEPEND on him and TRUST him… Do Not Fret dear siestas and let the peace of God roll in because he WILL be found faithful, no matter what!!
Love,

What a great Word that was shared this weekend!! Touched me in many different ways! Thank you Beth for being a faithful truthful biblical teacher!
God Bless
I am a 60 yr old ( I can hardly believe THAT!) woman who attended the Simulcast in Round Rock. I have survived sexual abuse as a child, physical and emotional abuse from a father and a husband, the loss of our entire possessions, the loss of my only daughter at 19, the death of my husband, left behind a life I had built over 30 years to start a new one with a brand new Godly husband and I tell you, I really had thought all my dreams were over, so much so, that even now, on Monday morning, I'm not sure I could tell you even one, BUT, the one point that relit that little birthday cake size candle was from Beth's point # 2 – Beneath the desires of our hearts is the heart of our desires. I am meditating on that because for me, I feel that's a key to renewal. I'm so glad my friend "badgered" me into going. I love Beth, and know better, but somehow I thought, I'm not gonna go and have that desire reopened, only to be disappointed again…I was not disappointed. Thank you.
WOW. Powerful stuff.
Thank you. Just what I needed to hear today.
Thank you for posting the Commissioning. I had a wonderful time at the Simulcast event. God is Good. May we live in Him, today.

Beth,
I can't tell you how applicable your teaching was on Psalm 37 to my current (past 3 or 4 years)circumstances! I went home Friday night and my sweet husband was in bed but I just had to tell him all about your talk! The test you talked about, "Every Christian is given the test, 'Is God good? Will the judge of all the Earth do right?'" We have been living this in phases for a few years….the story is too long to go into now. In a nutshell, losing a business after 9 years of laboring, seeking God and counsel along the way; a son whom we have desperately been praying for for years, and now on the verge of losing our "stuff"(home). But these circumstances have stripped me to the very bone and there is NOTHING that can distract me from the truth that God is judge and he is good. I am thankful for the buiding up that God has done in both of us through the trial.
For our son, actually each of our kids we have prayed that God do whatever it takes to bring them to a passionate relationship with Him. I loved your teaching about when we see delay the possibility that destiny and God's glory may be at stake. My prayer will now be what you have prayed, "Protect my family, except where Your glory is as stake!"
Thank you for your passionate pursuit of our Savior!
Any chance of selling auido or video of the simulcast? I would love to listen again with my husband.
Blessing to you and your team!

Awesome. After meditating on the entire simulcast experience for several hours, I had a breakthrough Saturday evening at dusk while picking berries in our raspberry patch, one of my favorite meeting places with the Lord. The heart of my desire finally revealed itself. To be a powerful woman of God. To leave a legacy of doing good. Not powerful in the world's definition, but powerful in the sense of doing my part to bring the Kingdom into the here and now. Where I am, who I am (or am not) with, what I'm doing for a living – all secondary. I want my "dash" to mean something in God's plan for all of us. I think that was God's message for me from the simulcast. Thank you, Beth and your entire team, for being His instrument to deliver it. It took Him 62 years to wake me up, but plenty of time left to do what's out there. I love you all as I'm rolling up my sleeves…
Thank you for posting this!
Love in Christ,

Beth and Team –
The commissioning has blessed my heart this a.m. And it has renewed in my heart and mind all that I learned from the week-end.
Thank you for the blessing of hearing a new approach on such a familiar passage of scripture. I carried my "Holy" glow throughout the week-end – and so far, I think it's still on low beam this Monday a.m.
I must brag about the ladies of the church where we attended the simulcast. I am from a small West Texas town, which would have difficulty in hosting, so for the past 2 years, we have gone to San Angelo, to The Heights (Baptist Church) to enjoy the simulcast. Those ladies went so far beyond and above being such gracious hostesses! They fed us, they hugged us, they welcomed us, they fed us some more, they prayed with us, they fed us some more, and then, they sent each one of us away with a treat bag! I have asked God to just return to them tenfold the joy they gave to us by being such awesome hostesses!
Great week-end! God is so Good!

wonderful! thank you!
Beautiful… I needed this today!
I needed to hear this today. I went to a Woman of Faith weekend with my girl friends, our bible study group, we call ourselves the Soul Sisters.. and one of them is doing things I could never imagine doing.. she is dating a married man.. and it is breaking all of our hearts how Satan is fooling her.. we've prayed and prayed that God would use this past weekend to show her His love.. that she would see that His love is sufficient for her.. that she doesn't need this married man to fill that void deep in her heart.. she is so afriad of being alone, so afriad. We have been studing Esther.. and every week Beth is touching on fear and how we let our fear control us.. how we should give our fears to God and live without fear… Well as far as I can tell, she didn't respond to God this weekend.. she isn't looking to God for strength to say no to this relationship and stand Firm on God's WORD that He is enough for her! And the burden of this dear child, my friend, weighs heavy on my heart.. I have done all I know to do.. I have tried to speak truth in love to her about this situation, I have prayed, oh how I have prayed.. and I am feeling the weight of this on my shoulders.. as the "leader" of the Soul Sisters.. I feel responsible for her.. but I too.. must give this weight to God.. for only HE can carry my burdens.. I must trust God only with this for He wants her to see the truth just as much as I do! I must stand firm on GOD'S word and know HE IS GOD! And He will never leave me nor forsake me.. and He is here for me to have strength to continue to speak the truth in love to my dear friend who is so lost… I must give my fear that I may loose her as a friend because I am not condoning what she is doing and speaking the truth, God's truth about this to her.. for God's truth is more important than our friendship.. for I would rather loose a friend speaking to them the truth than let a friend follow satan deeper into despare..I must pray and know that God will get the GLORY! For she is His child.. and He will over throw the stronghold that satan has on her.. and He will Have the VICTORY!
Sweet Amanda –
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU _
as we prayed holding our dear
friend's hand – I had to hold
tears of all kinds of reasons
back. One being – wish I had
a great memory to know the words –
to hold them on my heart to keep
me ACCOUNTABLE!
Hugs to you – the staff – and
our sweet Beth who is so infused
with God's word I sometimes ache
with the best joy there is.
love you, patti
Has the question been answered on whether or not the Green Bay LPL Simulcast will be available to by on CD or DVD(preferred)?
I so needed that word this morning Amanda. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing that, Amanda. I had to miss Saturday because my husband was sick … I needed to stay home with my girls. Just broke my heart; so thank you for updating me on some things I missed out on!
Love, Shelli Littleton

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I was at the simulcast in Blue Springs, Missouri. Is God stronger than my JAW? YES! That is what I am going to ask myself when jealousy, anger, and worry present themselves in my life.
Amen and amen. A friend and I drove 2 hours round trip both days to attend the simulcast, and were blessed by it indeed. We both had to check our JAW- she, her anger, and me, worry. The praise and worship was worth the trip in itself! We are planning to attend Beth's live event in Tampa in April. Thank you Beth and everyone at LPM for obeying God and reaching out to women around the world.
Thanks for this reminder
I so enjoyed your simulcast over the weekend. It was what the doctor ordered. I allowed just that afternoon on Friday for someone to take my joy and delight from me. So using your approach on the memorization process I found Poverbs 12:16 A fool shows annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. I was a total fool and am working on being prudent. As a pastors wife people (non-believers) think I'm perfect, well I sure did prove them wrong on Friday. Thank you for being so real for us real folk.
Your sister in Christ
Christine
Beth, Thank you so much for the simulcast. The message hit home with me. I will pray to keep my delight always and do not give up on my desires. Make God my life and not a priority. Thanks to the all of the LPM and Life Way Teams.
Thank you again
Susan
Beth, I was so blessed by the Truth of God's Word that you taught via the simulcast. Thank you so very much for loving God so much that you can love me too. Ps. 37:4-7a was one of my memory passages for this year. I was blessed to receive teaching on especially verse 4. It certainly is food to "JAW" on for awhile.
Love and appreciation to you,
Deidra
I needed this more than you know today. We are trusting God for a HUGE things in our family this week. I really needed to read those words today!
I was going to ask for this very thing – thank you for posting it!!
Amen.
I have been repeating Psalm 37:4 all weekend. Thank you God for speaking through Beth.
I am still so empowered by this weekends simulcast and I still keep thinking about the JAW topic. That SO resonated with me. I am even more aware now that when I am getting upset or tense I tighten my jaw. SO I trying to keep it in check. I just thank you for your ministry and I freedom to be real and talk openly about things that lots of us struggle with. I am delighting in the Lord this morning!
Thanks so much for printing the commissioning. I attended in Snellville, GA and absolutely loved it. I learned so much!! When Travis mentioned Snellville we all screamed!!
I cried during my 'commissioning' because it meant so much to me.
Beth, you are an anointed teacher and I love, love love your sense of humor. I laughed really hard about the 'cake' story, but when you said it was like a mom with kids saying perrrrtect, perrrrfect I was really laughing (as a mom of four ages 19 – 27).
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I start Breaking Free next week and cannot wait!
