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.
I wasn't able to attend the simulcast at Houston's First over the weekend and had a bit of a pity party because of it. Thank you for sharing the "Commissioning" statement. It describes exactly where I am today, waiting for God to answer in a situation that has gone on longer than I ever expected. I needed to check my JAW…and I was immediately humbled. Thank you for sharing this part of the weekend with us bloggers.
This made me tear up. Thank you Jesus for speaking words that I needed to hear right this very moment.
Thank you!!!
Good Morning! I loved this! It was incredible to hear all those women in the Resch Center. Worship with Beth at the end in her Packer jersey…priceless =)
Thank you Beth, You are an amazing women of God and a complete joy to learn from and listen to. I was blessed with the opportunity to go to Green Bay with six incredible women. We had a wonderful weekend and are planning on delighting in the Lord and laying our desires at His feet…always and forever.
I met and talked to a woman by the book store, although sadly, I do not know her name. She lost her brother to a motorcycle accident. My heart aches for her and her family and I am sorry they have had to endure such pain and heartache. I want her to know I will be praying daily for their continued healing and understanding. I will pray that her brothers death is not in vain, that God be the Glory. Although I do not know the circumstances, I feel her pain. My brother had a motorcycle accident 15 months ago, he spent many days in NICU and he lived. His life is changed, but God is not at the center of it… yet. We continue to pray that through this accident and the changes that have taken place in his life, God would reach him and others.( I will pray without ceasing for the rest of my life if I have to) God is so faithful He surrounded my brother and family by Christians in the hospital, my parents accepted Jesus into their hearts and lives. Having gone through that time in the hospital and this past year was, at times, more than the heart could bear. I know there are many families out there that are trying to pick up the pieces and understand why tragic things happen in our lives and…I believe all we can do is pray, love and Trust in the Lord with all of our heart. This weekend I learned to continue laying my desires at the feet of the almighty Lord, and to delight in Him, because the desires of our heart will bring Glory to God. Keep praying for the ones you love, even when you feel like you aren't being heard because patiently waiting on the Lord is not passive.
I shared a glimpse of the weekend during church service yesterday (a church we had never gone to) and a few people talked to me after and said "Beth's words are an encouragement and blessing to them" and they don't even know her! Beth you are our Gift from God that keeps on Giving ♥ THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for posting this!! My mom and I faced each other at the simulcast and said it to each other and Im so glad to have a copy of it!!!
Blessings,
Jennifer
Thanks Amanda….that was such a powerful exercise!!!
Again, please thank your Mom and the Praise Team for a wonderful, amazing time!!!!!!
Blessings,

Thank you so very much, Amanda, for posting the Commissioning. I had numerous women ask for it at the end of the Simulcast. A few were irritated with themselves that they just spoke it and didn't write it down….so…you solved that little dilemma. I am so thankful they spoke it instead of writing it down! Oh for some perspective!
Thanks,

I do not have the words right now. Just know that these words were taken deeply into my heart to a place that has needed healing for a long time. I was not able to attend the simulcast; so, if you had not posted these words to this blog, I would never have heard them. God bless you for being His Mouth and His Healing Hand for me.
aah…I needed that. So many problems just now and it is so easy to slip into worry about it.
Excuse me while I rest in the Master's care.
Thank you for reminding me to do so….
Amen sister!
Amen!!!! Thank You Jesus!!!
Thank you! I needed to read just that this morning.
Thank you, Amanda!!!! I typed my notes, but this puts it all together so that I can share in a more relevant manner- God Bless, God Bless you, your mother, Melissa and all who contribute to this ministry, wish I could send you all for a day of spa "pampering" and relaxation to show my appreciation- I am in AWE of the number of women seeking our Lord and you ladies are a beautiful caring voice for our Lord. I'm ready to SEE God's work in each of us- An Appreciative Austin Aunt Siesta
Amanda,
Thank you for posting this! It was an emotional time for me and I had a hard time even saying the words. Now I can look at them and remember them. Thanks again! I pray that all of you have a wonderful week!
Nice summation… accurate and succinct. Well done. This has been the most impacting event I've attended and E V E R Y 'WORD' was just for me. I pray that all 90, 000 others received it as 'just for them' as well. G-D has delivered me from so much, yet 'through' even more. He will be who He is: FAITHFUL and TRUE… and He will not change any of His truth for me… but PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, He will change me by His TRUTH… does that make any sense? He refuses to change His words or definitions, but He changes my perspective and heals me to see it truly… no more distortion… no more perversion or lies. Sometimes it's hard to leave out the details. I hope it makes sense anyway. I was asked to leave 'churches' as a child because the intensity of what I live in everyday intimidated people (I guess). I've learned that JESUS doesn't get dirty washing me clean… what a relief! Thank you ALL for all you do. Your work makes a difference! It gives those of us in the trenches with you a vocabulary to explain… and, more importantly, weapons of TRUTH do stand our ground in Christ and view HIS mighty work from the front lines of THE battle. Keep speaking truth! Keep encouraging! Keep doing GOOD. Though I've never met you I love you! One day you will know all you do for the kingdom. One day we will get to thank you in person… Now and always HE gets the GLORY!!! Peace and His mighty blessings to ya'll and to you all!

Wow! That's awesome! I saw so many amazing things tweeted through the simulcast. I hate that I missed it. But I am grateful for all of the follow up blogs and tweets that were posted about it! Thanks for posting this!
Amanda
Thank you so much for posting this. I was just thinking yesterday that I wish I had it or could even remember most of it. It was a very special moment for myself and my friend I shared it with at the simulcast.
Your mom ROCKED that Simulcast! So many women have told me it felt like she was talking straight to each one of them individually. What a blessing of a weekend! I have so much to meditate on. Thanks!

This weekends' simulcast was my first Beth Moore event–can I just say "WOW!" God has truly blessed Beth and I am so ready to "wait" for my heart's desires to be met! Thanks for a terrific weekend!

Outstanding simulcast. So challenged by Beth's words.
Thanks for posting this.
Thank you. Some day I hope to be able to hear the whole simulcast again. There was so much that could be heard over and over again!
You all are such a blessing and sooo loved! <3
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED AND BLESSED TO BE A SIESTA! WHAT A WEEKEND – I WAS THE FACILITATER OF THE SIMULCAST OF 400 WOMEN!
AND GET THIS…ONE WOMAN GAVE HER HEART TO JESUS AND ONE RE-COMMITTED HER LIFE TO HIM!
I FEEL SO EXAHSTED AND BEYOND BLESSED – LIKE I WAS PART OF A DREAM!
BETH, BETH, BETH: WE LOVE YOU! YOU SPOKE ON SUCH A WORD FROM GOD, I HAVE MANY WOMEN THAT NEED IT ON CD TO LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLEASE SAY THERE IS SOMETHING WE COULD DO. THESE WOMEN WANT TO GO OVER AND OVER THESE WORDS – I KNOW YOU WANT NOTHING SHORT OF BEING A HUGE HELP TO THEM IN JESUS NAME – PLEASE LET THIS BE AVAILABLE ON CD.
OH, AND THE WORSHIP – STOP IT! YOU GUYS ARE JSUT BANANA'S. WE WERE ROCKIN.' IT WAS GREAT!
BLESSINGS TO YOU, LPL TEAM, WE LOVE YOU!

PS: MY VERIFY WORD IS NISEST! I LOVE IT.
Amanda, you could not have known in all the world who I am or what I have just been through in the past year and a half and especially the past 4 days. I have been praying for my 38 year old sister-in-law (she would have been 39 this Thursday, Sept. 3) who had a very rare form of cancer. I have cried out to God through hundreds of prayers asking Him to heal her. Last Thursday God took her home. She leaves behind a 17 month old baby girl and a grieving husband. Now we are left behind with questions of Why? The funeral was yesterday and quite frankly I am exhausted – physically, emotionally and sorry to say spiritually. This battle has taken everything I had. I am totally drained. I would like to think I gave it my all (prayers, encouraging scriptures through text messages, books on healing, baby sitting) but I still feel maybe I shoulda coulda done more. I am usually a very up beat person but today i would like to crawl under a rock and hide away from the worries of tomorrow (how on earth will my brother take care of a 17 month old by himself?). Of course my family and my parents and her parents will be there but…you know what I mean. Thank you for what you wrote today..I really needed to know that God has not overlooked me or ignored me. That He heard every prayer and knows the heart behind it. I needed to be told to basically get back in there. I love the Lord. I may not understand the "Why?" but I do know the "Who" and His name is JESUS.
Thank you for the encouraging word, siesta.
Love, Alisha
I head the simulcast was amazing! I wish i could have been a part of it! Beth is always a blessing to me!! Love you Sisters!
I didn't attend the event but the commissioning speaks directly to me. I need to roll over the JAW to God. I am guilty.
Thank so much Beth and with much love.
I so loved the simulcast!! The best of both worlds…I get to get away with God and sleep in my own bed!!
Lord change my want to!!
Thank you so much Amanda!
Hope you will post some pictures from your vacation!
Much love!
At one point Saturday morning, during praise and worship with Travis and his group, I looked over my shoulder at over 300 women in our church praising the Lord.
And I thought, this is great and heaven is going to be even better!!!
Praise the Lord!!!

I'm currently reading Get out of that Pit, after admitting to myself that I am most certainly in a pit. Thanks to my friend suggesting I listen to the session from the Esther study on fear, I'm on my way out. Beth, you have been such a bright light to me, directing me towards Jesus as my remedy. Thank you for your ministry. The simulcast was exactly what I needed to hear. God has given you an amazing ability to teach. Thank you for being the messenger.
Thank you for posting this. The Simulcast was such a blessing and exactly what I needed to hear. But, then again, God always knows our needs better than we do. I am so grateful to Beth and the whole team for putting together such a wonderful experience for us all. It was truly amazing and I can't wait for next year. God's blessings to you all and much love.

The simulcast was was my first Beth Moore LPL event. I went desperate for God. During the break Saturday, as I was sitting crying and praying to God, my desires on my lap & asking Him if I should attempt to talk to someone or just stay seated and pray (my emotions were out of control at that point), I felt hands on my arms and the lady who sat beside me during the session was kneeling down at my feet. She had tears in her eyes and asked if she could pray with me and I nodded. We both prayed silently, and my tears fell so fast. Then she assured me that God loved us and was going to help us. I just thanked God for the love and compassion I sensed from her. Later, we happened to be partners at the commissioning, and though we both cried through it, we made it. I hate to say that I was praying it would end because it was misery for an introvert like me to face someone while crying. But I can tell you that afterward, I felt so freed up, I was lifting my hand by the last praise/worship song.
It was such a blessing to be a part of the simulcast. This was so powerful, and a great charge to head out into the world…
LET'S ROLL!!!
I LOVED this! I found two sisters I hadn't seen in 20 years and we rejoiced together both days! I'm sharing all I learned and had reaffirmed with my office gals who keep me lifted up daily and were glad I didn't give up hope, that I went back, recommitted myself and my life to Christ and walked away feeling 10 lbs lighter! Thanks Beth for allowing God to use you!
Beth,
Were you in the car with us Friday night? As we were driving to the simulcast we were talking about being or in my case not being a domonstrative person and whether we were at football games.
My friend who was with me lost her husband last month and at his beautiful service they talked about how he lived his dash.
Beth this is the second time you have spoken the exact same words we had been discussing on the way and the last time my life had a major change, for the better.
I can't wait to see what God is up to this time?
By the way I have been every year since before (1994 or 5 Little Rock AR??) Lifeway becacme involved excetpt one either in person or at a simulcast and sometimes was fortunate enough to be able to attends two event.
Have a great restful week
Thank you so Much Beth for being following in obedience to your calling and for giving the Glory to God. Beth the Words God Has not Overlooked just melted my heart 1 samuel 16:7 We live in a world of appearance . I do not have it But he has not overlooked me. I will worship while I am waiting and i will go into the world and do some good For the Cause of Christ. thank you beth again for giving all the Glory to God because without him we are Nothing. phillipians 1:21
From someone who tends to lean toward being "right"…thanks for the reminder to take action and do good. With four Bible studies and three Living Proof Live events, I am still inspired to my core after letting Beth interpret the Word for me.
i was in greenbay over the weekend and was at the event with beth. amazing. all i can say is that i have tons to think and pray about and i'm eager to dig deeper…thank you beth. thank you.
I attended the simulcast at Salem Church in Dayton, OH. It was PHENOMENAL!!! Beth's teaching was incredible. What a message – and on that I needed to hear. Thank you Beth, for staying true to God's Word, and thank you Living Proof Live for bringing Beth to us. What an awesome blessing.
Maybe it was just my imagination, but when I looked into the eyes of my friend and repeated these words, it felt like I was looking into the eyes of Jesus. She has the most beautiful, dark brown eyes and it just seemed to me like that's the way Jesus' eyes would look. I couldn't help but cry. She was crying, too….it was beautiful! Thanks for a great weekend!!
I'm so glad you posted it. I didn't take any of it to heart that day as I was trying not to sob all over the stranger next to me that I was SUPPOSED to be encouraging! I'll print it out and drink it in now. Thank you!
Just what was needed to place on my fridge this morning. Thanks!

What a blessing this weekend was. I learned too many truths to list here. Satan tried extra hard to keep me from the simulcast—-GOD WON! The Holy Spirit was hanging around First Baptist Church, Natchez, MS Hallelujah
Thank you for posting the beautiful words we spoke to each other. I was excited to go but a little hesitant in my heart because I didn't want to have any more desires, to just have them fall through. I am so blessed and the Lord has done so much inside me. I want to go over and over my notes and continue to ask the Lord to show me and work in my heart.
Thank you and bless you and your whole team.
Thank you! Thank you so much for ministering the way you always do. Several of the ladies from our church were able to attend the simulcast and it was such a joy to see their faces and here their testimonies of the ways God used you to minister to them. For many this was their first time to attend an LPM event although we have done Beth's bible studies. I just want to say Thank you! As a women's ministry leader it is so exciting to share LPM with others and know that they will receive the WORD in a way that will help further develop a passion for the WORD in a new way. Thank you, Thank You. I hope that we are a simulcast church for next year- that is my prayer.
I was so sad not to be able to attend this~ but thankful that so many were blessed.

I had the priviledge of attending the simulcast with the woman of God that questioned me to bring me to the awakening that I was not a Christian as I thought. Because of her kind mentoring and love for God, this October will be my second birthday in Christ. I too had to hold her hands while saying this commisioning and could not get through it without crying. We spent the majority of it, clinging to each other. It was a very humbling moment. I know if it weren't for her "doing some good", I wouldn't have been standing there with her. God really used her, and thanks to her willingness to serve Christ, I am a changed, transformed, set-apart, lovely creation made by and for God. Thank You Jesus! And thank you Beth for your willingness to bring God's words to us who desperately need them! Love you Siesta!
Thanks! Just printed this out and taped it in the front of my Bible for a daily reminder!
Beth, thank you for so faithfully sharing the Truth with us. I was thinking this weekend how God has really blessed you with an amazing gift. I know each time I hear you that it is He who is really speaking to me….you are merely the frame holding His beautiful picture.
Thank you for saying yes to Him and allowing Him to use you so dramatically!
Sounds like it was such an amazing message! I wanted so badly to go, but had family in town & couldn't make it happen.
Any chance LPM will reproduce it? Please!
Love,
Missy
