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!
Wow what a day! God was here in PA for sure. It was one time I didn’t mind missing out on the sunshine because God was shining his light on all of us!! Thank you for sharing with us your Love of God. Can’t wait until next time!
Blessing to all of you!
Barb
AMEN!!!
I have done many of your studies and have been to two conferences prior to today’s Simulcast. God has used them all mightily in my walk with Him, but He spoke a fresh new word to me today. The “So Long, Insecurity” Simulcast has changed my life! Thank you, Beth for being faithful to bring the word of God to the people of God.
Thanks so much, Beth, for a great day with you and with the Lord. I have never had the “right” time to attend one of your conferences or simulcasts, but God opened up today and it was what He knew I needed. Thanks for listening to Him. You are a blessing! I listened from Topeka Bible Church, Topeka, Kansas.
I was not at the simulcast today, but had an overwhelming need to pray for all of you and especially Miss Beth and your TOE. I was in the middle of a family party, excused myself to the ladies room and went to pray for you all. Silly, I know, but I was so filled with a need to pray and I had such joy in doing it! Sounds like it was just a blast!
Love to you all,
Mair
I attended the Simulcast today in Clarksville, Tennessee at Hilldale Baptist Church. It was one of the greatest experiences of my Christian life. I have been thinking that my low self esteem (the same as insecurity) was just a weakness I needed to work on, but I now my mindset has been completely changed. I used to blame my husband for not complimenting me enough. I actually told him that he was bad for my self-esteem solely because he did not pay me enough verbal compliments. There were so many things you said today that just struck my heart like an arrow for me to change. Thank you so much for obeying God to share this message. It is exactly what I needed to hear.
Loved it. I wanted to soak it up but I was thrown back into normal life right away and got to practice some of those skills I learned today. I really prayed on the way home I wouldn’t be caught up in my perfectionism but just keep getting back up when I fall back to insecurity. You touched us all–thank you!
You so read my mind I was hoping for the words to that. Thanks
Beth, It was a blessing to be able to go through the book with you and complete the simulcast today. I am so grateful that you were so willing to open your life up to share your experience with us the last year. I know that God is doing a work in my life and your willingness to do this has been a big part of it. My journey actually started last summer when I did Living Beyond yourself from your online study with a friend. This was the second simulcast that I attended. I really related with the forgiveness thing you are so right. I have to know with out a shadow of a doubt that God has forgiven all of my sins before I can give others the Grace that was so generously given to me.

Wow, Wow, Wow! What a day! I thought how precious life can be and now I know Life is Truly Very Good!
There is SSSOOO much I want to say but I’ll just say this…
Consider myself taught-ed!! LOL!!
LOVED being in Woodstock today (even if it was by myself)!!
I’ll NEVER, EVER be the same. Big Thanks to GRACEVIEW BAPTIST in TOMBALL, TX for treating us like royality!
Beth, I have made a decision girlfriend. I almost took my clothes off during the event so I could hurry up and PUT ON the NEW ME. But Jesus did that!
Now let me introduce myself. . .
Thank you so much for posting this! I felt I was transformed while these words were spoken and was moved to tears. Thank you Beth for sharing your heart with us and teaching us through your experiences. You make us laugh, cry, and really dig deep.
Beth…as always, I left an event of yours thinking “That woman needs to get out of my head!” 🙂 You said every.little.thing I needed to hear right now. I got dizzy as we all sang Amazing Grace at the end. The thought of 300,000+ women across North America singing that song at the same time was truly overwhelming.
Amanda…you came and sat next to me in the pew at Foundry. I did my very best to keep my mouth shut for fear of prattling on and on to you about how much your Mom’s ministry has helped me the last two years. I knew you’d had a rough week and just wanted to enjoy your Mom’s message before you had to go back to Curtis and the kids. Know that you witnessed a miracle without even realizing it…me being able to keep my mouth shut! 😉
I attended today’s event with one of my dearest friends. As we walked out the front door of Foundry we tore off our name tags and said goodbye to the old, insecure versions of ourselves. Thank you for posting this commissioning. I’m going to print it out and give it to my SECURE partner in crime in the hopes that we can hang on to the freedom we both felt today.
(See? Look how much I rambled here! I told you that you witnessed a miracle!) 😉
I went to the simulcast today with my 14 year old daughter who is struggling with MAJOR insecurities and my mom. We have both been praying for my daughter and were hoping this would help her see how beautiful and wonderful and loved she is. Well, she was deeply touched and we talked, really talked, for a long time afterwards. I had the previledge of saying the commissioning to her, face to face. It was very powerful. The message was of such beauty and touched all three of us in very profound, but different ways. Mom and I have done most of the Bible Studies, but this was my daughters first intro to Beth. She loved it. She still has a ways to go before believing that she is truly loved and special, but she is going to read the book. Thanks for opening a door for her. Thanks for touching my life so profoundly over the past 10 years. Thanks for helping my mom to grow into a woman of grace and beauty. You have blessed us richly and abundantly. Thanks!
Beth,
I just returned from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where I enjoyed your simulcast with 7 other ladies from my church. On the 1.5 hour drive to get to the church some of the older ladies in our group were expressing to me that I was “lucky” or blessed to be able to learn some of these lessons about finding security in Christ, and other topics you’ve taught (particularly about marriage)at a younger age then they did. I praise God for using you as a vessel to speak to me and at LEAST 300,000 other women! Thank you for being willing to be used by Him. I read “So Long, Insecurity” a few weeks before today’s simulcast…and might I just say that God knew exactly what He was doing when He put that book in my hands. I went through something in my marriage about a week after I started reading the book that would have normally shaken my insecurity so much that it would have been almost unbearable; but God had a plan and He was with me through it and is helping me heal, and did not allow me to fall apart. I pray for you and love you as a wonderful sister in Christ, Beth. It has been an amazing day.

My beautiful 19 year old daughter and I were gripped with emotion as we spoke the commisioning statement over one another.I will never be the same.I have put off the old way and put on the new way by HIS GRACE!I am in full time ministry and feel my insecurity has held me back in some areas that I need to move forward in.I am determined to take hold of that which Christ took hold of me.I pray the Word takes root in our hearts and that God will bring it to full maturity. I NEED HIM MORE THEN EVER!!!!Thanks Beth for stepping out there…300,000 WOW!
Hi Beth! WOWZERS!! God answered SO MANY prayers today with this simulcast teaching!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for enduring the intense pain and groaning as God prepared you this past year for such a time as this. That alone, brings such encouragement to me! To think of what HE can do w/ us 300,000 women, is astounding! HE must have surely cherished this day. 🙂
WAHOOOOOOO!!! Looking forward to much freedom, to simply be me.
I attended the simulcast at Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Branson, MO with two friends. We really enjoyed the day even though we missed part of the afternoon session due to bad weather. Travis would have enjoyed the freeze frame shots of Beth as we kept losing the signal. Would someone please reply and let us know what the final E in secure stands for? Thanks so much.
I attended the simulcast in Canada and I feel so blessed to have joined thousands of women in this! I was hoping to find the Commissioning Statement, and am grateful to see it posted here! Praise Him!
Beth, thank you for allowing God to take you on your journey last year. I can surely believe how incredibly hard it must have been. Your “realness” speaks volumes to me and women everywhere.
I was able to attend a simulcast in Louisiana. It was everything I had hope for and OH so much more! Your message was definitely totally empowered by God’s Spirit. I think the point that spoke to me most was that I want to be the “except her” that you talked about. I choose to live my life as a much loved daughter of the King of Kings! I will be different!
I thank my God everyday for you and pray that He will continue to use you mightily for His glory alone. Also, that you will be a constant reminder to others of what a woman looks like who is totally “sold out” to walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you …..
WOW…..what an AWESOME time with God, Beth, Travis & praise team!!! Please know that your painful season last year was NOT in vain and it was for God’s great glory!!! 5 of us in our group at Grace Bible in Columbia, MO (3 under 30 & 2 over 50). Did the commissioning with my dear friend and my nephew’s fiance’…tears of joy and security from all 3 of us. So many great notes; new knowledge that, ‘grace is the only thing we can give away and also keep.’ My prayer is to become an “except her” woman — by God’s grace. Beth, I am so thankful you are obedient and willing to be used so mightily of God. May He continue to keep filling up your vessel – including your cute nose!! 😉 (Can’t wait for the St. Louis LProof event). Grace, peace and healing to the Moores!! With love and gratitude!
Thank you for the most encouraging day! I have struggled with insecurity’s my whole life but it’s reared it’s ugly face more than ever over the last 3 years when my younger daughter was born. She has been though 2 open heart surgery’s, 6 heart catherization’s and MANY trips to the ER. Insecurities almost destroyed my life. I had came to the end of my rope with severe depression and anxiety when the Lord spoke so clearly to me. I’ve been healing however being insecure has still been running my life. Over the last few weeks of reading your book and then hearing you today I can say with confidence NO MORE will I let insecurity rob me of my life with Christ, NO MORE will I let the enemy lie to me, NO MORE will I FEEL NOTHING because I’ve filled my life with strongholds, NO MORE will I chose to let my mind become dark and twisted NO MORE. You have shown me the most amazing stepping stone to find MY WAY WITH CHRIST!!!!! The way he has set for me. I will be a secure woman in Christ. LORD HAVE YOUR PERFECT WAY IN MY LIFE. GUIDE ME THOUGH YOUR SCRIPTURES SO I WILL KNOW HOW TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE CALLED ME TO. SHOW ME WHAT A SECURE WOMAN OF GOD LOOKS LIKE. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING RIGHT TO MY HEART IN THE WAY ONLY YOU COULD. AMEN. Thank you Beth for being obedient in Christ.
Thank you, Beth! What an awesome way to spend the day with 300,000 of my sisters!
Also, thanks to the ladies at Lewis Memorial Baptist Church in Barboursville, WV for their gracious hospitality!
Thanks so much Beth for a wonderful Simulcast it was my birthday and I had a wonderful day sharing it with 300000 siestas. Praise you Lord for such wonderful fellowship and Beth I would love to do this again next year for my birthday maybe you could come to Maine heehee Love you

ALL YOU LADIES OUT THERE YOU ARE IN MY HEART!
What a wonderful day! Beth looked great in yellow. Melisa’s face when her mom outted her childhood antics was priceless! The worship is always amazing and brings me to tears. Beth’s events have been a reconnecting place for my mom and I. With never feeling close to her and sometimes having major insecurity around her, Beth brings us together and our love is expressed in the best way possible.. through the love of Christ. Praise you Jesus! My insecurity was left at South Hill’s Bible Chapel in Pittsburgh today. I can’t wait to be ONE of 300,000 plus woman that will be a living example for my daughter (18 months old)… and her daughter… and her daughter’s daughter, if I may be so blessed. Thank you so much for caring so deeply about us all. God is truly good.. all the time. With love and in the security of Christ I thank you!!!!
I was so thrilled to join some wonderful friends at the Simulcast and enjoyed every minute of it! There is a song that would be a great anthem for today’s message- It is called My Security and it kept popping in my head every time Beth talked about God being our Security. http://www.youtube.com/salientband God is our second-wind, for sure!
Thanks for what a blessing your message is to so many women!!!
Beth, what an amazing event! We had over 500 women from 10 different churches in Kalispell MT. I have struggled with this all my life and you have brought such clarity to this bondage. Thank you. Looking forward to reading the book.
Beth!! Thank you for thinking I’m worth your time!!!
Loved today, and truly felt like we were right there together, just like be at home in Houston!!
We truly felt like we were part of something HUGE!!!
Love and blessings to you and the family!! April
Hi Beth!
Sorry I didn’t make it today…but I was OK with it. God knew that when I REALLY needed to be there two years ago, He made a way.
His Timing.
I’m enjoying the SLI book and rejoice TODAY with all the Girlfriends!
Dear Beth, Amanda or Melissa – please delete 1 of my posts – Cindy in Columbia, MO. I didn’t think the first one worked and lo and behold both are there for moderation. So please remove one…I’m not sure how to delete it. I’d get all bothered but I went to a great simulcast today on being SECURE so I’m not even too upset about it!!! Love you 3! 😉
Oh, Beth. I could barely sleep last night. We had crazy wind here in Colorado, our four-year-old crawled in bed with us, and I just kept thinking, “How does Beth Moore sleep the night before something like a simulcast?” I just felt a burden to pray for you! I don’t know how you do it (well, yes I do) but you speak the truth under the banner of Jesus to 300K women…and it seems like every word was perfectly knitted together. I was in a room with 450 dear ladies of every age and race. You spoke to me, you spoke to my friends. I nodded at the screen and clapped and felt like you were looking right at me. So, we’re best friends now…aren’t you glad?
Thank you, Beth, and all of your staff for a wonderful, Spirit-filled day. The tank is filled up and I am on fire. Blessings! You mean so much to so many.
OH, wow! What a fabulous day this was in Christ! It was well worth the 3 hour drive to Shreveport to attend at my mom’s church. I took a friend from my church with me whom my mom had never met and as we walked out the door of the church,at the end of the simulcast, they were hugging good bye (as we were heading straight back to our little town)and chatting and laughing with one another. I looked at them both and said to my friend,
“OK… I’m feeling a little insecure about my mom loving you more than me!”
We all got a big laugh about that. Even at age 47, there’s still just something about wanting my mom to love me MOST!
Thanks for such an awesome, eye-opening, convicting-yet-healing, restorative WORD from our precious LORD on being secure in who we are because of who HE is.
Love, Beth Herring
My eyes are rather tired compliments of the 8 (4 hours each way) hour trip i made today to go to your simulcast Beth. WORTH EVERY SECOND. I can only imagine our Lord and Saviour grinning from ear to ear at his precious daughter “bouncing off the walls” down here. Your blatant adoration of Him is contagious and your vulnerability (where’s the spell checker??) a constant testimony to us all. I spent the few hours driving there listening to Dr Caroline Leaf talk about our crown of thorns. Do you know that everything you spoke on today is backed up SCIENTIFICALLY!!!!! In your spare time (LOL) I just know you would get such a kick out of her book, or you could watch her with Joyce Meyer this year (HUGE LOL…don’t know why but that tickles me) ANYWAY she talks about the actual toxic “tree’s/thoughts” in our brains and that they have what looks like actual thorns on brain images!!! They (scientists) have discovered that forgiveness actually releases chemicals in the brain to begin to disolve these negative thoughts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you STAND IT !!! As DR Leaf says – scientists are only now catching up with what Gods word has always taught us!!
Anyway thank you once again for letting us GOd bless you through that adorable little body and CUTE AS A BUTTON NOSE!!!
PS Where did you get your shirt\blouse from LOVE IT

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had tears streaming down by the end of this statement…. It was such an amazing experience… I attended this here in Lee’s Summit, MO with my best friend and we said those words to one another… it was so powerful!
I left a new woman…. I have already had to pray for the old woman to stay away…. she has tried to creep back- very sneakily… 🙂
Thanks again! I was blessed!
Thanks . Not only for an excellant teaching. Not only for being vulnerable with us regarding your jounrey, but also for sitting the front line as our teacher. My computer died some weeks ago so I’ve not been able to respond to the blog qustions. But I do want to share with you that I’m coming to accept myself, That probably sound strange, but I was always taught that I am too much. Too loud too confident
too much of me! So I’ve spent 40 years toning it down. And not liking me at all. Neithe who I was or who I was trying to be. Throuh all of this study God is shown me that He chose my Dna and I have a purpose, now I just need to hear shat it is…. And hop and pray that I have the courage to become that prson. Funny the further I come the furthr I have to go! Bless you ! And thanks again!

Thank you so much! I was blessed when God introduced me to you a year ago and he keeps working his wonders for me through you! You were able to get a message into my heart that a year of Therapy hasn’t. I need to let go of grudges. I will be praying for God to soften my heart to certain people tonight and know that through the love of God I will be a woman of grace who can face her insecurities. I am excited to be the new woman that God has always wanted me to be!! Thanks again
I had heard of you before, but never read anything of yours or heard you speak. A friend invited me to come, and I went simply for something to do. But God really spoke to me through the simulcast, and will continue to speak to me about this subject. The host sight I went to bought several books and had a drawing at the end, and I won one…and I never win anything! So I guess I’m not done yet dealing with my insecurity, and can’t wait to dive further into your book!
Thanks for posting this so quickly, Amanda!
I was able to say this to my mom today, and I was crying through most of it. Insecurity has wreaked havoc in both of our lives, but no more! In so many ways (too long to recount here), God began healing me today of the insecurity that has sought to wreck me for years. Thank you, Beth, for following the calling God has on your life to share His good news with women who desperately need to hear it.
After such a crazy week and an intense message today, I’m praying that God provides you with rest and renewal in the next few days.
Mrs. Beth– hello from Berryville Arkansas! my heart is so overwhelmed! thank you for listening when God speaks to you. i needed my ears stretched today. you pulled on them pretty hard and i want to thank you for that! we lost ya for about 10 minutes and missed the end of the “hair” story–we are dying to know the rest… may God continue to bless you and your family. YOU ARE SO LOVED BY THE WOMEN OF BERRYVILLE ARKANSAS
What an AMAZING day! Thank you Beth for your obedient and grace-filled life–you are such an exceptional woman and role model for me! I had never considered that my insecurity was “unbelief”–thank you for opening my eyes and my ears! (I laughed so hard at your description of wondering all day if your ears were sticking out!)
I attended our event with two of my daughters (middle school and high school). My prayer for them is that they would not suffer from the same unbelief that I have over the years, and would walk in the security of KNOWING in the marrow of their bones that they are BELOVED daughters of an amazing, incredible God and live out His purpose for their lives!
Beth, my specific prayer for you is that you would KNOW that your obedience to what God prompted you to work through over the last 18 months has created a “movement” that will have lasting impact on so many women!
Blessings to you and your family!
Karen
Wow! Today was so amazing, Beth! Thank you for speaking God’s truth in my life! I am choosing today to be a secure woman in Christ, because I know that is what He wants for my life! I know that most of my insecurities has been because of being self-absorbed, and I am tired of letting pride manifest itself in my life. I am ready to be a secure woman who “sticks out” and lives a life of love! Thank you, thank you for today! Your passion for God and His Word is inspiring and contagious!
Thank you so much for posting this!
I wasn’t able to attend today so I am grateful to be able to read the commissioning statement. It was like I was there.
I’m going to write it in my book.
Still praying for you all.
Blessings,
Michelle in VT
Who am I, O’ Sovereign Lord, and what is my family that you brought me this far? 2 Sam 7:18
For the sake of Your Word and according to Your will, You have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.. And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant & (her) house. Do as You promised, so that YOUR NAME will be great forever…2 Sam. 7:21,25
Beth…thank you once again for being so obviously the woman God wants you to be. I wrote about my insecurities on my blog tonight I am no longer going to hide behind them rather I am ready to let it all hang out. i am who God created me to be and that woman is beautiful and I am ready to move forward and claim it:)
Thank you for being used in a time such as this. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you to 300,00plus women today!!
Loved today! At least two churches in Corpus Christi, TX enjoyed saying so long to insecurity!
Honestly, thank you isn’t enough. Today was perfect. It was obvious that every single word was prayed over and came straight from the Holy Spirit. I laughed. I cried. I learned. I was transformed. This book has changed my life and therefore, changed the lives of my daughters, my sisters, and my nieces. Thank you, Beth for being so honest and transparent so we can become the woman God created us to be. 300,000 women thank you and love you. You, your family and entire ministry team will remain in my prayers.
Oh Beth,
Snowstorm at 7200 feet and I couldn’t make it, the interstate was closed on APRIL 24th!
Phooey!
I’m still claiming that commission as my own!
Snowed in again in Laramie, Wyoming.
Such a blessing to participate in Pinetop, AZ! Thank you Beth for speaking truth. I sure don’t want to miss my calling. I will intentionally clothe myself in God’s grace, strength and dignity! May God abundantly bless you and your family. Thank you for allowing God to work through you and being so real with us.
