Hi ladies! Mom just sent me the commissioning statement to post on the blog. She also wanted me to tell you that you’re the teachers pets. We love you! -Amanda
My Dear Sister
If Christ is Your Savior
You are the dwelling place
Of His own Spirit
You have it IN YOU
to be secure.
Every day of your life
You have a choice to make
You can live in your old defeat
Or you can turn from your unbelief
And choose life
Make up your mind
To put off the old you
And put on the new you.
Never, ever, ever forget
That the Lord is your security.
He will keep your foot
From being caught in a trap.
He will take care of you
To your very last breath.
Now, leave this place
And go out into the world
And act like a person
Who knows she’s dearly loved.
You were born to be exceptional.
So, Girlfriend, go forth
And walk worthy of your calling.
You are clothed in strength and dignity!
Now unto Him
Who can keep you from falling
Be glory and majesty
Power and authority
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Now and forever more
Amen.
So Long, Insecurity!
I was totally blown away by today’s simulcast. I have had it up to my eyeballs in insecurity and unbelief!! I have been attacked on everyside the last 2 weeks and was starting to loose heart about the journey that I am on. I am dealing with my junk, and it is messy. I am not a stranger to the mess, just tired of dealing with the untangeling of it all…but quite frankley it was strangleing me. I too went to the conference alone, and anytime someone asked me if I was alone, they would say “man, you are secure.” I had to tell them, “my insecurities are so out of whack…I would have sat in a janitor’s closet as long as I could hear the truth. It is high time we band together and not let the enemy or the world shake us any more.
I was participating in Kenosha, WI, with my Siesta Cindy with whom I have been doing the studies with since the first summer Bible study, and today was our first time meeting! It was awesome.
God had so much truth in mind for me today. There were so many points that cut me to the heart, but I did love when you introduced Melissa and talked about her strong will. I too have a 4-year-old daughter who wonders each day if I’m gonna boss her. But oh…what I pray she will do for the kingdom of God someday, just as your dear daughter! I went home from today, strengthened, renewed, and commissioned to live life in the security of Jesus and model that for my two precious little girls! Praise Him!
WOW!!! I was so blown away, and speechless whem I came home from the similcast. I was emotionally, physically and spiritually exhausted! My husband ask me how it was, and every time I opened my mouth to speak,I cried. The nice cleansing Holy Spirit cry. I finally was able to review my notes and share with him (he loves to hear Beth teach) and I have declared in the name of JESUS, I am a secure woman who is clothed in strength and dignity. I loved loved loved the teaching particularly about the Crown of Thorns and the sprinkling of Blood. Thank you Beth for following the Lords leading and helping me to grow spiritually. {{{HUGS}}}
Went to the simulcast courtesy of my mother in law. I’m blown away from the teaching today. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you Beth for being obedient to the will of God. I can’t wait to see where God’s will leads me and it makes sense now.
I so wished she would have put something in there about loving your big ‘ol nose. I got home and looked in the mirror and decided mine wasn’t so bad after all, either.
Loved by Him!,
Heidi
We had such a good teacher and good teaching! It made it a good day to be the “Teachers Pet.”!!! Really I brought a friend and I don’t know everything yet, but she was all teared up at the end! God be praised!
My cousin’s wife, Diana, and I spoke this over one another. We got to this line: “He will take care of you To your very last breath.” and bawled our eyes out with one another. We were verklempt and could barely utter another word…just hugged and cried.
Let me just say, we have stood together over loved ones who took their last breath and that made us both just lose it.
Loved this day, Beth. Satan tried to prevent us from being there…but we made it and God was glorified. Love you! Holly
Just spent the day with Beth, what a way to spend a Saturday. My cup overflowed and I needed a nap! 🙂 Not only was Beth there, and over 350,000 women, but the Lord was present with a message for each of us. He spoke to me again about LOVE and FORGIVENESS, and how I need to hold my head up so the sprinkles from the crown of thorns on His head can sprinkle the blood down to my heart. So Long Insecurities…..I am clothed in strength and dignity from my LORD! Thank you Beth, Praise you Jesus!
Attended the simulcast today in Mount Pleasant SC. Worship left me speechless and I’m still absorbing the message. Not a good day to forget the tissues in the purse. Good grief with the size of my purse, you’d think there would have been at least a left over napkin or something! Guess, I’m a gusher. I was blessed beyond measure. Can’t wait to get the book.
I thank God for the simulcast conference! What a wonderful way to reach so many women who can’t travel to see you! I watched you, on the front row!, from my church in Sumter, SC. God used you to speak to me in SO many ways! So much stood out to me and you better believe I wrote it down! Some things.. insecurity = unbelief (profound for me), insecurity should not be brushed off as a weakness and something we just deal with. God does not want us insecure! Don’t wait until you “feel” secure to act…go ahead and act like your secure anyway. And write down and memorize God’s Truth (His Word) and BELIEVE it and repeat it until it takes root! There were many more WOW moments for me and it’s been a long time, but I felt God really stirring my heart and I told Him I’m tired of feeling dry spiritually, and I want to follow Him more closely…and to please help me with this!
I love you Beth and I thank God for you! Oh.. and you looked darling today. 🙂

I watched the simulcast today from Essex Vermont and I was so touched. I really do want my life to be changed. I want to take off my old self and put on my new self! Just a little story about how today affected me: My children were playing across the street at a neighbor’s house and dinner was ready. I new if I yelled to them they would not here me and so I new I would need to walk over and get them. Now this probably seems relatively easy and it would have been except for the fact that those neighbor’s and I had a falling out last March and I have been so shunned by them. I allowed myself to become totally insecure in my own neighborhood because this neighbor decided that I was unworthy of any of my old friends’ friendships. But today, I prayed all the way across the street saying God I know that you have forgiven me of my sins and I am dearly loved by you. I kept thinking that if I wait until I feel secure to start acting secure that I would never do it. Because of this conference today I was able to walk across the street with my head held high to get my children for dinner. Beth, thank you so much and thank you God for working through Beth to reach 300,0000 women today. God Bless. Nancy D. Essex, VT
Loved this today and so glad to see it posted on here so I can review and remember. Enjoyed seeing you today at Woodstock! 🙂
Today was an awesome experience, I attended at Pinelake in Brandon,Mississippi. God truly does speak through Beth and I am so thankful for the obedience Beth has answered to the call God has placed on her life. Please know You and your whole staff are prayed for each and everyday. Security is not thinking of one’s self. Wow! It really hit home and I will take this into the next step God places me. Again thank you and May God continue to anoint and bless your path.
Thank you so much for blessing us today. God spoke straight to our hearts about a subject that is so difficult for each one of us. I was truly moved by the spirit and pray I can face each situation with a new mind and put the old behind me. Thank you for being faithful to your calling and sharing with us. We were 500 + praising Him from Oconomowoc, WI.
Thank you for blessing us with today… was at the Syracuse, NY simulcast… incredible! Several hours later I am still speechless and just moved by the Holy Spirit in that room today. Love you all!
Wow – what an awesome word Beth brought in the simulcast. I was so touched by God in Raleigh NC. I needed that after a long weary week. I loved knowing my fellow Siestas were all over the U.S. worshiping with me. Thank you Beth! Thank you God.
Thank-you Amanda for getting this to us so quickly. A dear lady from our church and I paired up for the commissioning, and it was wonderful to look in this dear sisters eyes while repeating this!
To Tara: #6 E Exceptional in life.
Attended your Simulcast in Venice, Fla. Wonderful day. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you much……
Oh Mama Beth!! What a wonderful awesome glorious celebration today!!!! God spoke so clearly through you today! I have to share a story with you – I think you’ll be smiling big.
So, about 8.5 years ago, My husband and daughter and I moved into this brand new neighborhood. Didn’t know a soul, but quickly learned who was the who’s who of the area, at least to insecure old me :0) There was this tall, blonde, physically fit young mom who always ran up and down the roads – yes up steep hills and down them with TWO young ones in her double stroller…never looking like it hurt one bit. She always exuded confidence and was the type of lady that would never take notice, or would want to be around the insecure old me. I would see her running down the street towards my house and run inside, close the garage door and HIDE behind closed blinds!!!
Fast forward to today!!! Attending the simulcast with 8 other sisters from our Bible study group, GUESS WHO I HELD HANDS WITH AND PROCLAIMED THE COMMISSIONING WITH????!!!!!! Yes, you guessed it. The confident beautiful women who the insecure old me was afraid of!!! God soooooo showered me with love, and has made complete redemption with my insecurity and self confidence around other women. I had the most sweetest blessing to proclaim the commissioning over one of my most dearest and truest friends as the SECURE NEW ME!!!!! Praise YOU Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!
God took what was one of my most insecure and fearful years in my life, and turned it into one of the most special blessings! Thank you Beth so very much for doing what you do for us. YOU ARE WORTH IT TOO, Sister!!
So In Love with my Father ~

Loved today! Listened to the simulcast in Canyon, Texas. Thanks for all your words today. It was just what I needed. I was so glad to see the commission statement posted. I have already made it into a “poster” and am emailing it to all the girls in our group today. Love you so much.
Thanks”)I enjoyed the Simulcast today. Great lessons from Beth and Worship from Travis and team. Love you all
as so many have commented, today was incredible. Thank you, Travis and team for the incredible worship! What a word you gave us today thru the worship and praise – you can’t sing of my Redeemer for me, only I can!
Beth – I haven’t even looked through my notes yet, but I had 2 different opportunities to practice acting out security, whether I felt it or not… just this morning, before the simulcast even started! Walking into a crowded church alone, not sure if anyone I knew would be there… Then a huge blessing for me was that my former counselor was there. This is the first time in over a year or so that I have seen her (not run into her once anywhere since our last counseling session) and I was so surprised, that I fled the area of the church she was at – then caught myself in what I was doing. It took me a bit to calm down, but went back to the sanctuary, and ended up talking to someone else that I found there I knew, and when I was done, I turned to get myself settled and our eyes met across the rows, and OH the delight we had in hugging each other and catching up briefly. It would have never happened, and I would be kicking myself now, if I had let insecurity take over.
Thank you Jesus for making the things spelled out in the end of the book stick with me! Praise Jesus that I was able to read the end of it last night!!!
Thank you Beth for bringing such a fresh word, even for those of us who read the book already! It was perfect!
Love to you all,
Heather

Thank you so much for posting this. I loved it when we recited this today and I was hoping you would share this with us. Thank you for a wonderful day!
What a wonderful day! Thank You, Lord! My heart swells as I think of 300,000 women doing the exact same thing today and praising God all at the same time! Don’t you know He was smiling today! Thank you to all the Moore’s and the love and sacrifices made for us. I love you all!!

“E” Exceptional in life. You are exceptional when you put on the “new self”. What an amazing day! Thank you Beth!
Beth- Thank you for sharing about your strong will child. If my strong will child learns to have a deep love for the Lord then all of it was well worth it. Melissa- Thank you for allowing your mom to share that story!! It really IS uplifting and encouraging!!! I have an 8 yr old that should be the most rebellious teenager alive. If he lives that long. hahaha I’m only teasing. While he IS strong willed he has a beautiful sensitivity to the Lord! The simulcast was fantastic!!
Thank you Amanda! Oh…so much I want to say don’t even know where to begin….I will start by saying that this is my first time blogging and like some of you I was kinda “insecure” about the whole thing.Beth, you blessed my today! I thank God for His word today and prayed it will stay with ALL of us deep down in our hearts. Our small group just finish the study of Daniel Thursday(What a ride it was…Beth, you were so right when you said that much of our brain cells were used for this study…I really did not have much of me left for other things:-)Ahhh…but praise God, we are smarter not dummer now ) and today I went to the simulcast(watched you from Fredericksburg,Va)Oh….I want to be the “except her” at my church,family.Lord Help me not to wait to feel secure to implement with my mind and feet(walk)Beth, you said it begins with our minds….I learned not to long ago that my feelings will often lie to me..today you reminded me of that truth.By the way Beth you looked great!! What are you eating?? you look younger 🙂 the picture of you in Daniel DVD series is in my head and when I saw you today I said to my self…wow!! she looks even younger now!! Keep doing what you are doing for the kingdom!! you are a ride yourself….God is good. I wish I could sit with you and have a cup of coffee and tell you the journey God began in me last Sept. when I did my first of your studies AWHGDP…Praise you Lord for your power and your love for us. I will have to tell you all where the”His-doll” name came from next time.
Sisters “The people around us are worth it” We are His workmanship and we are precious to Him…we find our worth in Jesus along and I pray tonight that we would open our hearts and minds to receive the word…be “Exceptional in life” to His great glory.
Blessings,
His-doll
Hi! I attended the simulcast today, and of course it was earth-moving for me! At the beginning of the 2nd session, the “moderator” posted a website where we could purchase Beth’s book, as well as an additional book of scripture that goes along with it. I couldn’t get my pen out fast enough to write it down! Could you please share it with me again? Thank you!
I want to thank God and Beth Moore for truly showing me that the inseucrities that I have been struggling with a lot lately I can let them go and be a SECURE women of GOD. Everytime I hear Beth speak I hear a lot but today was a real wake up. To think I wasn’t going to go but a friend at church just bought me a ticket with out knowing so GOD knew I was to be there. Thank you to Beth for being a wonderful of the LORD and the gift God has given here to speak to the hearts of women.
Had a great time today!!! I could truly understand where you were coming from and can relate personally. This is one of the hardest lessons that I have had to learn as a Christian. Much of my early life, I was a “people pleaser” and no matter how much I tried and believe me, I really tried, I could not make everyone happy or convince everyone to like me. I just didn’t get it and it had a big toll on me emotionally and in my relationships. After several life shaking events, God got my attention and though it took many roads to lead to the end, I finally realized that I didn’t need to make everyone happy and I sure didn’t need everyone to like me. The only one that mattered was God!! As long as he was happy with me and he liked me, that was the only approval I needed!! I just can not express in words how FREEING that was to me!! Funny thing is, I quickly realized that if you are living to make God happy, there are going to be alot of other ‘worldly’ people that aren’t going to be happy with you and that is truly okay with me!! I’d rather have the whole world hate me and be right in God’s eyes than to be loved by the world and not in the will of God. I didn’t realize at the time that I was dealing with insecurities and sometimes they do raise their ugly heads, but I just have to remind myself that God has already conquered that battle for me and they don’t have any control on my life! I have to respond to them with the “new” me. FREEDOM NEVER FELT SO GOOD!! Thanks for your ministry and all that you do!
Beth, The message was so good and so relevant. A couple of my favs were “Grace is something that you can give away and keep” “It does not honor God to disbelieve His forgivness” “The decision to live secure starts in your mind” Thank you for being so real, open and wise. From ONE who was blessed because you shared. My daughter will reap the benefit of me attending today. I love you! You are exceptional!!!!!!!!
I got really choked up while I was holding hands and saying these words to my girlfriend! More than just words… My whole life has been changed since finishing this book and laying it at Jesus’s feet! I am becoming EXCEPTIONAL!! 🙂
Okay, but I just have to say on a lighter note, that during our lunch break, and only after deep theological conversations, my girlfriends and I talked about how cute your outfit was, today. (We always really look forward to seeing what you have on!) We had a little question for you, and somehow I was voted the spokesperson here. Were you wearing black wedge sandals with white socks? We couldn’t tell, but it looked that way on the screen? (We didn’t let our curiosity over your footwear keep us from hearing a word though.. just so you know!)
Sasha in Washington (viewing the simulcast in Canada)
18 months of Beth planning for today…5 months for us planning for today….nearly 600 attendees…more than 50 volunteers…and PRAISE GOD…SIX…(6) accepted Christ for the first time today…at our site alone! Lord knows how many other lives were transformed.
It was all worth it.
We have some new sisters…praise God…I’m about to cry…okay…I am crying…
It will be a privilage to follow up with these sweet new sisters next week to ensure they are discipled.
I’m overwhelmed by HIS goodness. Emailed the team leads tonight that God knew today– on the Kingdom Calendar– eternity would change. Lord, we praise you and thank you!!
Until ALL Have Heard,

P.S. Thanks for the commissioning, Amanda. I emailed it to the leadership team tonight, so they could soak it up.
Thank you, Beth, for letting God use you! I just came back from a simulcast here in CA–and I’m inspired! So excited!!
Joined the simulcast at Manley Baptist in Morristown, TN. Heard words today that I needed to hear! So thankful for God’s work in my life!
Mama Beth,
I came here to ask you for the commissioning statement. You always know just what to say and what to do! I ADORE the way God works through you. You bless me time and time again. Thank you. Thank you, Lord, for gifting all of us your will through Beth.
Today was a fulfilling and heartfelt day.
I have a question and I’m wondering if you can address it.
I’m insecure that it’ll come across as an excuse. And I don’t want it to be unbelief, but I find it a true problem.
In my current circumstance, I need my husband’s support and backing in order for those around me to say “EXCEPT FOR HER.” He and I are at different places in both a) our faith and b) this particular circumstance.
What do you do when the insecurities of those closest to you are preventing your security?
From First Baptist Hattiesburg, we had a great day even though the weather tried to cut you off this morning we just prayed in JESUS name! We came to hear from GOD and we were prayed up.I can’t tell you how much I get JESUS bumps worshipping the LORD with a room full of sisters.As you talked about the next generation of girls and my daughter-in-law setting next to me , a new creation in CHRIST expecting our new granddaughter any day. I was afraid she wouldn’t make it to the conference, but she did! GOD has saved her and she is ready to teach her new one to come, to love JESUS too. Praise GOD! Thank you and thank GOD for a fresh word from His Word!!Thanks to Travis and the singers, too..Now get some rest and put your feet up with a nice cup of coffee.(-=
Thank you for such a wonderful event…Your God inspired words touch my heart sooo deeply! I truly want to be a doer and a woman after God’s heart! I am so ready to leave the old me behind..and become a beautiful God fearing, loving, forgiving woman with a purpose! Thank you to all that made this possible..Thank You Beth
This was one of the most emotional, inspiring moments of the day! I was lucky enough to have a very good friend with an amazing mother in law get me a ticket at the very last minute and I was so blessed to be a part of something so special and to walk away isnpired and lit with the Spirit! Thank you Beth, Travis & your entire staff for being the absolute blessing to all us girls out here!
Join today from a church in Orangevale, CA (Sacramento area) and loved the event. Was blessed tremendously. Bless you Beth for what you are doing to encourage women, we certainly need you anointed words!
WHAT AN AWESOME DAY WITH YOU IN CIRLCE MONTANA!!! about 150 women were together there…so appreciate you message and your heart for women!! God Bless!!!!
I was truly meant to be at the simulcast today. I had other events for the day, but somehow God moved, rearranged or minimized the other 2 and wanted me to hear you today. I did not even know what the simulcast topic was, but I knew it would be God driven. I have been under tremendous stress lately and from the beginning of the lecture, I could tell the main reason for my stress is my insecurity!! I can’t wait to read more of your book and review my notes. God is so good………….
Awesome message today. Thanks Beth.
Beth,
I really enjoyed hearing God speak to me through you today in Sioux Falls, SD at the First Assembly of God. I hope to be able to share some of what you said with my co-worker who was unable to attend. I just hope I can present it to her with the same enthusiasm you have 🙂
As I arrived home tonight, I was going through my mail before heading in to my house- with the Children’s Bible Songs CD playing for my little ones. One of the packages/envelopes in the mail today contained the information and Certificate of Insurance from our supplemental insurance company whom we have just started a policy with. As I was looking over it, I said a little prayer, “God, I pray that we never have to use this, but I am thankful to have this type of security in our lives. If this be your will, I know that you are in control.” And just as I am in the middle of this prayer the song playing on the CD is “Jesus Loves Me”. Oh- My- Goodness! “Lord, you are good, I know YOU LOVE ME!” Beth, thank you for allowing God to speak through you! I will forever think of my security in Jesus whenever I hear this song. SO LONG INSECURITY!!!!!
THANK YOU!! I told our group of girls that I just knew you would post this for us! Such an amazing day. Thank you so much for the message straight from the heart of God. After reading the book this week and attending today….God has done a mighty work and certainly a NEW thing in my heart and life!! I will never be the same! For that I am eternally grateful to you Beth, but mostly to my Heavenly Father who really does love me NO MATTER WHAT!!
Great day at the simulcast here in Colorado Springs. Thank you. God is at work and it is mind boggling to think about 300,000 women walking out in security and touching the lives of the girls and women around them.
WOW….what an AWESOME time with God, Beth, Travis & praise team at the simulcast!!!! Beth, thank you for your obedience and for your willingness to allow God to use you in new and mighty ways….last year’s painful season for you was NOT in vain dear Siesta! Our group of 5 at Grace Bible in Columbia, MO had a wonderful time — 3 under 30 and 2 of us over 50 – what great stuff for all of us to grab hold of! Did the commissioning with my dear friend & my nephew’s fiance’– tears of joy and security in all of our eyes. Just know that God did a MIGHTY work through your vessel today. 🙂 So many good notes…new knowledge was, ‘grace is the only thing we can give away and also keep!’ My new prayer will be to become an “except her” woman…by God’s grace! Bless you Beth and may God continue to keep filling you up! (Can’t wait for St. Louis LProof event!) Amanda – prayers for Curtis & family.
Thank you, Beth. What a blessed event and what a blessing to be a recepitant your God-given passion for women of faith. I spoke this commissioning statement with someone I just met today and expect to seldom see again. We were both crying by the time we finished. Thank you and God bless you with lots of rest and peace. Amen
I had the privilege to go to the simulcast with my 13 year old daughter who just persuaded me to take the day off work and take her to the simulcast. She was the only teenager in the event and she didn’t mind. We both loved it and came out blessed and prepared to be different women in this world. We want to be the exception and show that our security comes from Christ alone. Beth mentioned how different our lives as women would be if we were fed this information early in life. My daughter is getting it early on and I am so thankful because in this world it is tough being a woman. We need to be aware early of the lies of this world and the truth in Christ that is ours. At the end of the event my daughter and I held hands and spoke the commissioning statement to one another. What an amazing moment that was. Beth, may The Lord our God keep blessing you and protecting you. And Thank you for not letting all the tough times in life go to waste. We are blessed with your ministry and pray that God will continue to do a mighty work through you.
E… Exceptional in Life….
Beth… wow I am always amazed at how God just flows through you and rains down all over me and 300,000 women… Today was wonderful!!!!
Thank you for being His servant and teaching us!
Love you so much!
