SLI Simulcast Commissioning Statement

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!

    Mary Beth Marion says:

    Beth – what an emotional moment this commissioning was! It was our commitment to going out there in the world and living this thing out. Back in the Believing God study, you asked us to write an extra verse in Hebrews 11 – after the “hall of faith” listing, we were to add verse 41, with our own names, to indicate what we wanted our faith legacy to be. Sure enough, in my Bible, it says, v. 41, “By faith, Mary Beth ….” And now I finally know what I want mine to be – “By faith, Mary Beth chose to live secure in the knowledge that she was a dearly loved child of God, was upended by His grace, and discovered that she was an exceptional woman.” May it be so, Lord … may it be so.

    Thank you for posting this commissioning … I woke up this am wishing for a copy and pop there it is!! so if I wish for a copy of the poem “except her” do you suppose it will appear? 🙂 As Beth read that poem it so helped me have a new understanding of exceptional!! Thank you!! (I cried just a little mamam!)

    I like several others here had the opportunity to do the commissioning with my mother and that was significant….so many lessons learned from her and not all of them healthy, i believe she has had difficulty in seeing me as a seperate woman and not just her little girl. This became evident during the commission … but I stayed strong and lead her…. I hope and pray that this can lead to a new chapter for us…. at 43 and 63 this would be so welcomed.

    Thank you for a wonderful opportunity and a memorable day! Our bible study group travelled (20 of us on a bus, giggling, teasing, singing and worshiping)several hours to our host site and another 300 women to share in the teaching. You should have heard the singing! 6 am – 1030pm What a day !!! We are already planning another retreat for the Sept 18 Simulcast! We have shared in The dwelling place; fruit of the Spirit and now this book…. i look forward to our next teaching sessions!! Thank you Beth and our Father!

    Beth, yesterday was exceptional. I went to a simulcast in tx, I walked in and sat by myself and had nobody to embrase thru this I had tears thru most of your simulcast. When you had us hold hands and speak to each other it was very difficult. I have went thru so many things over the last 26 years. It has been extemely difficult and listening to yesterday I feel I have the strength to go on and forgive my past and see the amazing things God has in store for me. I have been in church for a long time and tried being involved to fullfill mylife but something was missing. I know now that I am Exceptional and have the strength. I know that I am not alone that over 300,000 women are there with me as well. I hope that I continue to grow and I pray that God speaks to every women out there as well. Thank You Beth.

    Charis says:

    “Charis”, greek for grace, that’s my name…except I sound out the “ch”. (Named after my grandma, whose name was Grace). Growing up, I didn’t like my name very much because it was always mispronounced…Charles, Chris, Cherice, etc…, etc… In alot of your studies, Beth, you have explained what my name means to me, over and over, and again yesterday in the simulcast. I have come to love, love, love my name because of your explanations of my name. Thank you so much!! Now…if I could get my old self to cooperate with my new self, I could stick out like a healthy thumb.

    June Osterholm says:

    My friend, Susan, and I attended Foundry church on Saturday and experienced a ‘new beginning’ and a ‘new me’. Our friendship deepened as we shared our ‘commissioning’. Our husbands were college room mates and we had that relationship in common until yesterday. As of yesterday we are now Free and Secure in our Lord and in our selves. Thank you, Beth, for showing us the way to say goodbye to insecurity and hello to Security in Jesus and Security within ourselves. Love, June.

    Colleen says:

    Beth, I attended the Simulcast in Gilbert, AZ yesterday and found the message to be so applicable for today, tomorrow and everyday there after. I am going to be 60 this year and am learning that I don’t have to be afraid of rejection. I need to remind myself everyday (actually several times a day) that my old self is gone and it is the new me now! To live in victory will be to live a life secure in Christ Jesus.

    Thank you for your beautiful way of teaching to woman. You bring God’s Word to us with love and enthusiasm and are honoring to the Lord of Lord and King of Kings.

    May God continue to bless you abundantly.

    Your Sister in Christ,
    Colleen

    What a tremendous blessing it was!!! Everything, every detail, from the moment we walked in the door of the hosting church (Grace Foursquare, Camas, WA), greeted by so many lovely, joy-filled women of God, to the spread they provided us, oh my! What a way to usher us in! followed by Travis ushering us into His Presence. And then, Beth appears on the screen, looking as radiant as ever. Oh how you inspire us women! Thank You Beth! Thank You Travis! And, Thank You Grace Foursquare!

    I attended the SLI simulcast with 4 of my dear Lifegroup Sistas! We had a wonderful time together with you. The message was a much needed balm for my soul. I plan to finish reading the book and start applying The Word to this area of my life. God bless you and Thank you for speaking His Word in truth to me.

    Dee Robinson says:

    Thank you Beth. You are the channel through God teaches me things that I don’t know and that helps me live a more godly life. Your teachings backed up with scripture and the love you have for Christ, are great motivators. From Grace Community Churc in Boca Raton,Florida.

    Awesome experience with my 17 yr. old daughter. She was already a pretty confident young lady, but now she says she can be nicer about it! Thank you Beth and your team.

    Vanessa Hersey says:

    Thanks, Beth. The simulcast yesterday was such a blessing. God is moving in a mighty way and speaking to our hearts. I give thanks that you are such a mighty woman of God that allows to Him to use you. I am determined to put off the old me and put on the new me daily (or moment by moment). I am determined not to believe the lie any more. So long insecurity! And praise be to God!

    Natasha says:

    Yesterday was so amazing. I don’t know how you do it, Ms. Beth, but every year you manage to speak straight to my heart. I just have to thank you for what you do and your obedience to God to speak about the things that most of us keep buried deep within. This is the third year that I have attended your similcast and each year you uncover an issue that I have been reluctant to confront. You have shared with us tools of encouragement and strength (through the Word of God) to be able to go and dig up those issues and deal with them and say goodbye and good riddance to them!!!!

    Hey Beth!!! I’m Carmen “with a smile”!!! I ran into you as you arrived and you’re as gracious and even more beautiful up close!! I had prayed over this weekend and told the LORD that it would be amazing if I could finally get to meet you!! Thank you for taking the time to stop & greet me & my friend & hugging our necks! The LORD did SHINE through you to all 300,000 of us “exceptional women”!! Thank you for being YOU! Luv ya mucho! Carmen :o) from Marietta, GA

    Missed the simulcast. Is there any way to get it or buy it to watch from lifeway? Life has been so hectic lately. I did get all my reading done though. :o)

    I’ve just have to say: I don’t know how you all keep up!

    Love you and thanks for the commissioning statement!

    Thank you Beth and your whole gang for putting on one awesome time with God. I will admit I was a bit “insecure” during the worship time because I am not used to being so open with God in public, like a PDA, but I told myself this was the time and place to put all my insecurity away and to praise my ever loving Father the way He called me to praise Him! I love you and am so thankful to the Lord for using YOU as His servant to reach so many women that need a good word! God bless you Beth!

    Kathy B says:

    Thanks so much for just, well, everything. Were you relieved to see this week come to an end? I was mystified to see Beth walking (not limpiing, hobbeling, or scooting) around the stage and up and down the stairs. Did God bring healing as we asked –I sound surprised– or does your family have the highest pain threshold on the planet?
    I had the privilege to say this pledge to my oldest daughter. She’s 20. Thank you Father

    Janet G. says:

    Hi Beth!

    I was watching the Simulcast from Gateway Church in West Haven, CT with “my girls”. I wanted to thank you for your message yesterday, pouring yourself out and being real with us. Thank you also for encouraging us teachers to be the change in our workplace. I’m a teacher and that was especially relevant to me and what I am going through right now. Ephesians 4:32 has been springing up around me in what I read, hear etc. over the last two weeks….Yesterday hearing it at the simulcast confirmed it for me. Thanks for allowing God to use you! 🙂 Just finished “Breaking Free” with my Bible study group this week and it’s been the catalyst for huge movement of change in my life. It’s not easy but necessary and possible through Christ… Because in all things through Christ it is possible!

    Living4Him says:

    Thank you Beth & Travis for an amazing day at our church. Worship was phenomenal and Beth the message couldn’t have been better. I had done the blog lessons earlier, but don’t think until I heard you speak that I can honestly say I closed the book a secure woman in Christ. Praise the Lord…relationships that were being destroyed are being restored. Thank you for working through such a difficult season not only for your behalf, but for 300,00 of us who come along side you to change this generation.

    I saw baskets of pocket sized Kleenex on my way into the auditorium today. Didnt think I’d need em but wouldnt you know I used almost the entire pack! I think you need to start a fan club for people unashamed to ruin their eyeliner in public by crying. Thank you for taking on this simulcast today. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for your ministry and it’s daily relevance in my life. Thank you for allowing God to use you, for being open to receiving the words he wishes to give to all of us. Thank you for taking the time to give us such a precious gift yesterday.

    Amber says:

    Thank you so much for posting this! I had a ticket and every intention of going to the Simulcast yesterday (and was super-excited!) but my husband didn’t want me to go. It’s not his fault, though. I was dressed and walking out the door when I looked outside and it was literally so dark (from the storms we had coming through yesterday) that I could not see my back yard through my back door, so I submitted to my husband and had a sweet day at home with my man and my 2 little men.

    So anyway, thank you. I heard it was absolutely wonderful and am disappointed that I missed it but at least now I can soak up a little bit of the message you shared:)

    Missy S says:

    Beth, yesterday was so awesome! God is soo good!! I am still processing the message yesterday and all that I learned from my small group study on SLI, but I can already tell you that I am NOT the same person I was when I arrived at my host site yesterday. The old me was an insecurity artist (i.e. a perfectionist). As I left the simulcast, I knew I had to go immediately back to the library to study for my law school exams. I also knew that I was behind where I probably should be because I took time away to go to the simulcast. So, I began praying on my way home that I would be able to study free of my insecurities. I prayed that the stress of being behind would not even phase me and that I see my studies in a new light. And, God made it happen!!

    I cannot explain how amazing it is to finally know freedom from the bondage of perfectionism! To be 2 weeks away from graduation from school forever and to finally break free from insecurity is nothing less than a miracle. Praise Jesus!! 🙂 He lifted me out of the pit of insecurity and gave me a firm place to stand – just in the nick of time!

    P.S. I got a kick out of your comment yesterday about telling God he better be preparing for your message while you were taking care of Jackson & Annabeth. Right then, I thought, “God, you better be studying for my exams, if you want me to be here getting a word!” Once again, He is faithful!

    glenwood says:

    You say to pay attention if you hear something more than once. At the simulcast you were saying remember what you have learned from Eph 4 and then I went to a wedding that evening and on the program was Prov 3:1-6 (paraphrased here) Forget not my law or teaching…Lean on the Lord with all your heart…In all your ways acknowldge Him.

    Deirdre says:

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Praise Him for an amazing day yesterday and I pray, the beginning of a new life 4 me and thousands of others to become truly Exceptional!! Thank you for posting this info from the msg. b/c I had just emailed the main site requesting it! God is Good!

    I’ve been “a fan” for several years, but am more than excited to have started to really learn this technology to stay connected, and perhaps even make some new friends out there who share my beliefs, challenges and questions about this amazing life God has gifted to us. I’m new to this blog, but have a feeling that God introduced this to me yesterday b/c events in my life have left me feeling very much isolated and alone. Each night I log-on to listen to one of Beth’s messages from Oneplace.com to fill my mind with truth, love and knowledge as I drift off to sleep…it is so comforting. Over the past several years, I’ve been battling Severe Depression, Anxiety and a condition just diagnosed as PNES, or seizures that are non-epileptic. I know God will bring me through this adventure and there’s a ministry in it when I’m better…but, having this outlet I know will be so helpful to my soul and mind. From 2 Timothy it says that “For I did not give you a spirit of fear, but of strength, love and a sound mind.”

    Again, thank you to everyone whose hard work made yesterday truly a life-changing event for me. That message, I felt, was “goin’ out” to my heart & soul so intimately. But, what an awesome thing to know that I was part of a real movement for Him. From sea-to-shining-sea…all the way up there to Juno, Alaska! I know it will take several days for me to truly KNOW the impact of these lessons and LEARN to truly be SECURE! but I am so looking forward to the journey. Thanks again!!!
    With so much love from a soon-to-be-EXCEPTIONAL-woman, wife & Mommy in Pittsburgh, PA,
    -Deirdre 🙂

    Dear Beth,
    I want to thank you so much for your teaching yesterday. Toward the end, I was looking at you and thinking, “I am really grateful for this lady.” Even though you do not know me, I was one of the 300,000 “ones”(Knoxville, TN) and it was so obvious that you really do care and want to help all of us. Thank you for spending your time preparing and delivering just so people like me can benefit. Jesus was glorified through you.

    Sarah Rader says:

    Thank you so much Beth for allowing God to use you yesterday. We had 300 women at our church and the Spirit moved and worked in our lives. Thank you for loving Jesus and all us girls so much that you said that we were worth the difficult journey that you walked in order to birth the thoughts in the book. I knew you meant every word you said…..and that is why I love you so much. Thank you for being real and transparent so that we can see how our “theology can meet our reality” (which God taught me through Believing God). You really are Living Proof of Almighty God using willing vessels. Thanks for allowing God to make you one of the exceptions and I am praying that God does the same in my life. He is all I want!

    Love,

    Today I had the great privilege to attend the simulcast with about 300,000 other women across the United States and Canada. This was such an amazing experience. To realize I was in a room with 300 other women from all over my area to sit in a crowded church pew with them and worship with them and cry with them and then to hear that 300,000 of us were doing this all over the United States at the same time, I can’t begin to describe how surreal that was. I was just sitting there blown away with God’s glory and what He was doing in the hearts of women all around me and listening to the voices singing praise songs to Him and I just couldn’t even begin to imagine what heaven will feel like. Thinking about those women’s voices right now singing Amazing Grace as we closed the teaching today still brings tears to my eyes. So needless to say my heart is full today. There was so much that God did in my heart as well. I’ve been on this “So Long Insecurity” journey with about 6,000 other women on Beth Moore’s blog and today just felt like a completion took place. I’m just so excited about this new part of the journey He has me on and can’t wait to see how He works through those amazing 300,000 other woman who have made the choice to live a secure life with their security resting in Him. Beth Moore said it best today this wasn’t just a study this was the start of a revolution, and I’m ALL IN!

    Caroline says:

    I have to say I have read through every single one of these comments. They’re all SO GOOD! I love you all like sisters 🙂
    I am posting this after a conversation with my MIL (mother-in-law) just now. She is not the warmest person and I struggle so much to be myself around her. I have a very tender heart and just want to love on the women in my life. I now realize that I need to now allow the insecurity she conjures up in me to have a voice, but instead, to love her well. For I have been taught!
    AMEN!!!

    Beth. Just wanted you to know 500 in Memphis gathered for the simulcast despite major storms and tornado alert so while we were singing The Revelation Song refering to lightning and rolls of thunder we burst into applause! Amazing Experience!! Gods teaching through you completely changed my life and realtionships! I just picture my hand with a cup full of overflowing grace instead of an empty cup!!

    Deanna Bartlett says:

    I stand amazed!!
    I came home and told my husband ( who had my house cleaned, laundry done, and dog bathed) that I am on my way to being FIXED!
    He said he wished she would have had this conference 15 years ago! I just love him!!
    I am thankful for a husband that encourages me and listens to me go on and on about every detail of the day. I had one friend who could not come because her husband is unsaved and would not allow her.

    Beth – I loved when you said how God has freed you from so much that surely you would not live out the rest of your days with your battle with insecurity. That is what did it for me! He can and will help me with the thing that has caused me so much pain since childhood. There is hope.

    I admit… I came to see and hear Beth, BUT instead I SAW AND HEARD GOD!!!!!!!

    Debbie in CA says:

    I am so glad you posted that I so badly wanted a copy of it! I praise God for what he has shown me through the book and this awesome simulcast, I will not be the same. God and I have a lot of work to do, but I know he is faithful!

    Kristi says:

    Oh!!! My heart is soooo full!!! So incredible! I’m not sure I can condense it enough to put it in this comment!!

    Well, first of all, I also have struggled with raising my hands during worship. But God’s Spirit broke through, and while singing “In Christ Alone” near the end, the phrase “No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand!” had me literally reaching upwards!! Felt like I wanted to grab a cloud right out of the sky!!

    Then, during the short part about struggling with being “female”???? Oh! I almost felt smacked!! (In a good way. If that’s possible.) The tears started down my face… You mean I can really celebrate being female?? I’ve never felt very girly, but I absolutely loooove girly things! (Being mother to 3 boys.) Well, this will need more attention, for sure.

    My husband and I had dinner reservations with 5 other couples that evening! My very good friend looked at me around 8pm and said “You sure look bright-eyed for being at a seminar all day!” Really?!! Well, just let me tell you all about it!!! 🙂

    Just found out there’s a simulcast in September??!!! Can Not Wait!!!

    Beth, thanks soooo much for writing this book and speaking from your heart. You are amazing, and it’s amazing how God works through you.

    Melissa Lynn says:

    Oh my did I need this simulcast. I loved it!! God has pin pointed some very specific areas in my life that have needed a change but I didn’t know how and kinda didn’t want to…it’s comfy to keep doing what I’ve always done. Now that I have a heightened awareness of what my insecurities actually are, why I have some of them and that in Christ I AM SECURE, I envision myself as God knows I can be…walking secure in His love, entering social situations that typically scare me 1/2 to death with confidence bc I know I’m loved and ok, dealing with certain relationships that have always been hard in a brand new way bc I’m letting that brand new girl come out of hiding and kicking that old self in the hind end outta here. I know it’s gonna be tough and I have to be intentional. I want to do it. Enough is enough. I want to be the exceptional woman, the “except her.” I want my 11.5 yr old daughter to be the “except her” and I want her to see me as an exceptional woman, worthy of emulating. My friend and I had a unique experience as well with this simulcast. 2 weeks ago one of our good friends committed suicide (leaving behind 2 precious little ones – 8 yrs old and about 5 yrs old) and my friend and I were devastated, still are, just in shock. We found out that the memorial for her was going to be on the same day as the simulcast. We weren’t sure what God would want us to do, so we both prayed and asked Him. He told us both that we should go to the simulcast bc He was gonna show up for us, had things we needed to hear from Him. In addition, He told us to make the day a memorial to our precious, wounded friend. We talked to her family about it and they were over whelmed by it and gave us their blessing. So we went yesterday and dedicated the day, our healing and our ability to become the “exept her” to our friend’s memory. She wanted to be that so badly but just couldn’t get there. Insecurity and fear ate her alive and she just could not break free. She was a believer and loved God, but she made her devastating choice. So we are determined to get this and be a role model for girls and women God puts in our lives. It was a wonderful mix of a day…bittersweet, sad, healing, hopeful, and exciting. His mercies are new every morning…we know He’ll use all this for His glory and we so want to be a part of that. Bless you Ms. Beth…once again God used you to do something impossible in my life, but I see now it isn’t…not with Him fillin up my cup of worth!

      Melissa-
      Prayers go out to you for the loss of your dear, dear friend. To read a post such as your’s reminds me of just how important it really is that we take what we heard and learned yesterday and become ALL IN and truly the EXCEPTIONAL women God calling us and loves on us to be. Your words hit home very personally to me only b/c I have been fighting against depression, insecurity, failure and all the lies Satan can put in one’s head for several long years. I have, unfortunately, I can only imagine had many of the same thoughts/actions of those of your dear sister-in-Christ who passed away so recently. I battle daily against them as I’m sure many others do as well. Mental Illness, in whatever form, is one of Satan’s strongest and most difficult to fight against. I am sure your friend was so very blessed by you and she would have wanted nothing more than for you to honor her as you did. Your decision to attend yesterday was truly “a God thing” as they say. I can only imagine how hard it was for you, but I am indeed sure that from that day you and the girlfriend you attended with…you two will be able to share your stories and be those 2 women who are the “except those 2 friends” Beth talked about. Hang in there…and know there are many, many women out here, your sisters-in-Christ who are struggling along each day to also become EXCEPTIONAL, too! Much love, Deirdre from Pgh, PA 🙂

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I read the book, did the on-line blog questions each week and attended the simulcast (thank you, too, Christ Lutheran of Otsego, MN). I have been convicted, blessed and encouraged. What a wonderful way to bring women together and minister to them. SECURE…I am working on all 6 areas and believing God will bring me through to the other side of my insecurities. Love and blessings.

    Susan Church says:

    Incredible day. Insecurity is Unbelief! We had 176 women attend South Lewiston Baptist Church, a church that can seat 248 uncomfortably:) Thank you Beth, the comments today in worship show us the need for women to gain victory, to put off, and put on and live knowing that we are loved by the very one who created us. We were blessed to be a part of the 300,000 women and are expecting great things to happen as we all just “Do it!” Thank you.

    I was so blessed to attend the Podcast yesterday. There were so many highlights to the day but my favorite was sharing the commissioning statement/prayer at the end of the event. I held hands with my best friend of 30+ years and we spoke those precious words to each other and over each other with our eyes, hand and hearts locked together. We know each other so well, our intimate battles with insecurity, many which we have seen each other battle since the young girls that we were when we met. It was a precious gift to speak those powerful words of Truth to my precious friend. The Lord has done an amazing work in both of our lives up to this point and I embrace with excitement and joy KNOWING that He is not done yet! Insecurity…you have been a bad friend, it is time to say good bye!

    We had a wonderful time in Phoenix. I was blessed to have 2 of my daughters there and they each bought a book. There’s no better gift from my daughters than to see them seeking Him. My 3rd daughter was in the midst of a move or she would have been there too, but she’s reading the book. Several years ago this was only a dream of mine. Also, I copied and pasted the commissioning statement and sent it to our whole Bible Study. Some of the girls attending were so amazed that I could remember such a thing. I did confess at the bottom of the email that it wasn’t from memory. haha I also just posted the website on my facebook page. I want all women to be secure and free in Christ.

    LOVE the “Except Her” examples and would love to have the examples! Thanks so much for being available to the Holy Spirit’s leading and walking in obedience to your calling! Thank you for posting the commissioning statement too! I was the hostess for 400 women in our location and it was if you were standing right in front of us in person! The women were blessed and challenged to be the exceptional women they are! 1 John 3:1

    Thank you Beth for bringing that message to us. Insecurity has wreaked havoc in my family for generations. The causes for it and the reactions to it have been vast and varied. Believing I can be free from insecurity after walking so closely with it for 43 years brings me to tears not just because of what it means for me but for what it means for my kids. They can live their lives having only known insecurity as a passing acquaintance in the early years of their lives. I can’t think of a better gift next to salvation. A fresh vision, a new life, a new heritage.

    Bless the name of the Lord both now and forevermore!

    I was just going through my texts between my daughters and myself and had to ‘tell’ on ourselves.
    Friday night at 11pm – a text from my oldest – “we got the easy part out of the way, now for the difficult part…what to wear!”
    I text her back and tell her to be casual cause it will be just a bunch of women 🙂
    She texts back and says, “that’s the problem; it’s harder to dress for women – Why? because we are insecure!”
    She goes on to tell me that no, she isn’t going to wear a T-shirt that has printed on the front, “I am insecure.” that one of brothers in the Lord had suggested earlier in the day.
    Then fast forward to Saturday – most of the way through the Simulcast, she texts; “I know what I am wearing tonight… (to a Saturday night young singles service, where the women all look like they have come straight off a fashion show runway)… Freedom! because I am free!”
    Praise the Lord! Hello New One!

    My family and I were at the coast for this weekend, but I was able to make it to a simulcast in Rockport, Tx. It was such a blessing, thank you Beth, Travis and your whole team. I loved the whole thing, but exceptional part was…well, exceptional. That really hit home for me. Praise the Lord for His mercies.

    PS: hope the Jones’s are well!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had no idea how much (how VERY much) I needed to hear this tonight until I read it…God bless you, for you have surely delivered His Word to me this evening!
