Ladies, the finish line is in sight! Let’s run the rest of this race marked out for us. What a privilege this has been, you guys.
I think I told you guys recently that I’d gotten a new Bible. I absolutely love it. I always choose one Book of the Bible to read through carefully when I get a new one and this time I chose the Book of Acts. I’ve been so incredibly inspired by it. The verse I’m memorizing this time is for the sake of prayer. (Do you guys often use your memory verses in prayer, turning them into intercession? It really stirs up my faith and my strength.) I’m praying that what happened when Peter was in the midle of bringing the Scriptures to attentive listeners will happen in our environments, too. I’m praying this for my pastor and those who hear the Scriptures through him. I’m praying it for myself and for those I’m privileged to serve. I now pray it for you and those you teach and encourage with the Word of God.
Beth, Houston. “While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the Word.” Acts 10:44 ESV
Lord, let it be! Drench Your listeners with Your Spirit! While we are right in the middle of sharing the Scriptures, fall on every single person who hears. I want this so much. I want a fresh anointing, don’t you? I think our God is willing to give it. Let’s ask Him boldly! All we have to do is make absolutely certain that He gets every ounce of credit. Oh, what He’d be willing to do if we jealously guarded His glory and humbled ourselves as slaves of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ok, Girls. How about yours?
I love you so much.
For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a slave of Christ. (1 Corinthians 7:22 ESV)

Hi Beth!
I did not start regularly reading this blog until September. I guess I can officially call myself a “Siesta” now? Any way, I was wondering if you will be doing the Siesta Scripture Memory for 2012? I have never challenged myself to memorize so many verses, but I’d like to try. You and your enthusiasm for God’s Word inspires me!
I love reading this blog and I love, love, love you! You don’t know how often I whisper in my prayers “thank you for Beth Moore”! I will be in Knoxville, TN next year for you Living Proof Live conference and I can’t wait! I just hope I get a chance to give you a big hug!!
Praying for you and this ministry always,
Heather

do not judge others, and you will not be judged. do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. forgive others, and you will be forgiven. give, and you will receive. your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. the amount you give will determine the amount you get back.
