My beloved Sisters,
Thanks is too small a word for the privilege to serve you. You are graces of a merciful God to me. How I pray God revealed Himself to you in an intensely personal way today. Here is the equipping that I promised in the simulcast to those who are ferociously ready to forsake fear and take courage. You will find a cover sheet for your notebook, a letter from me suggesting how to use the resource, and enough verses to keep you well immersed for a good while. They are life and liberty to any of you who, like me, have battled a stronghold of fear but they are also vastly useful when you are facing a temporarily intimidating or frightening situation, like surgery or a speech in front of your class or a hard conversation requiring you to speak the truth in love. It doesn’t matter what circumstances are tempting you to fear and to shrink back from your faith and your calling, you are invited and even commanded by God to take much courage. It is your right of daughtership, “for you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [and daughters!], by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’” (Romans 8:15)
By all means, you are welcome to openly share this link with anyone else who could use this kind of equipping, whether or not they joined us for the simulcast.
You’ll need Adobe Reader to download the booklet, so if you don’t have it already, you can click here to download it for free.
Stay in the Word, Sisters! You are chosen and loved by the sovereign King of all creation and the calling on your life demands power and insight that only He can bring. Trust Him. He cannot do you wrong.
Christ is life,
Beth
Hi Beth –
Today was amazing – there were 250 women at the Calvary Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Your message today was powerful – I loved the part when you said that not all of us are able to teach but all of us are able to tell which God did bless me with the ability to not know a stranger and therefore I shared with everyone around me about the experience I had with you a year ago when you visited Lincoln, Nebraska and prayed over me and another woman. I’m wondering if you remember me – I was from Wahoo, Nebraska and I told you I wanted what my daughter had because she gave her life to Christ as a Freshman in High School. My new birthday is June 25, 2011(the day you prayed over me) and I do feel I am more aware of God and things that have happened and that only God could orchestrate – so now instead of saying what would be the odds of that happening I say that was a “God Wink Moment”. Read the book choosing to see by Mary Beth Chapman and the part where you had a dream and then told Mary Beth is amazing. I have done several of your bible studies and I never would have known this much about the bible without your help and instruction. You have been such a blessing in my life – may God continue to work through you as his messenger of his word. Would love to hear back from you – Much Love – Your Sister in Christ – Jeanine Hrdlicka
As always, blessed beyond words by today! Thank.you for allowing God to use you. I was wondering, the prayer was so powerful for me…is there a way to get a copy? It would be amazing to have that printed out to.know someone was praying that for me, to pray it for another woman & to pass along that prayer to her to have her pray it for another & so on.
Again…thank you…thank you…thank you!
I too would very much like to have a copy of Beth’s prayer.
I would LOVE to get a copy of that prayer as well. What an amazing day of faith revival! Thank you, Beth.
Beth said on Twitter that mid-week she would put up the commissioning and the prayer on the blog! Woo!
Me too! And I’ll share it with the other ladies from my church. Thank you!
Me too 🙂
I would love a copy too.
Thank you for that powerful and BOLD prayer. I sure would love a copy as well! Great suggestion, Nikki! Beth, thank you, thank you, thank you! I praise God for YOU and the miracles He’s performing in you, through you and for you!
I agree with everyone else, very powerful prayer. Is there a way we could get a copy of it?
Thank you very much!
Yes, yes, yes please! That was SO powerful!
I also would like a copy of that prayer.
Oh my! I know why God compelled you to pray over us (me) today. I have been struggling with fear, anger and resentment over some personal issues in my life. God woke me up at 5:30 EST this morning and I began to pray for today’s session. God laid you, Beth, on my heart, to pray for you and allow God to show you what was needed. Even if it wasn’t in the program plan. I soooo needed everything today and when you said what God wanted you to do, I listened and absorbed every word of that prayer, it was for me, even if not for the other 149,999 women. Thank you for being obedient to God and doing exactly what I needed from God. How amazing that God could choose to speak to me through such a powerful and public venue. I ask for continued prayer as I continue this journey and again, thank you for following the Holy Spirit. I left changed and with a new perspective on how I should respond in my situation. Praise the Lord!!
Praising Jesus for the anointing of His Holy Spirit today Thank you Beth so blessed and looking forward to Lord what are you making in/of me… Praise and focus
What a blessing you are !! Thank you for being such a great and obedient servant !!! I would love and really need a transcript of your prayer ! I do believe that was the most life changing prayer I have ever heard. NEVER doubt that God was leading you to do that… I would love to have it to read daily and keep with me !!! Please let me know if it is possible to get it.
BLessings my dear sister

Beth-
Thank you for the powerful and touching event today. As always happens, our good and faithful God brings us to where we need to be.
How could we ever questions that there are miracles all around us?
Your energy, sincerity, and true love for the Lord were evident during each part of the day. Your stories and victories touch us in the real places that we live, and help us hear that God truly has plans for each of us.
Thank you for having the courage to answer God’s call even when the naysayers sling their arrows.
I definitely received a Word (or two or three) today and what God spoke to me via you, I shared with my life long best friend and she has been extremely encouraging. :o)
Today was AWESOME, Thank you
Thank you for your faithfulness and the immense amount of time you put into the preparations for the simulcast today. Our church in Whitehall PA joined and I think I can speak for all in attendance when I say that we were greatly blessed by both the message and the worship. We laughed with you and we cried with you. It was truly an amazing day. I for one am already looking forward to next year! May God continue to bless you with this great gift.
First of all, Gods spirit was powerful in you today. He s using you to accomplish amazing things and I am thankful for it. I felt your hands laid on me during your prayer and his Living Water poured into–and out of–me as a result. Praise Him.
That being said, I know your prayer was genuine and personal, but it was a game-changer for many women and I think a powerful resource. Please, please consider posting it somewhere. I have a hard time recalling it already and you put so eloquently into words just hat I ha e been trying to ask God. Thank you for your faithfulness.
I missed today – my husband was gone all day and I was home by myself with the two little ones. However, I wanted to jump on and say that last night, just before my middle-of-the-night nursing for my 3 month old, God awoke me with you on my heart. I spent those 15 minutes of nursing praying for God to bless you, protect you, equip you and this ministry and for this simulcast particularly. So, I had the 3:30am to 3:45am shift for you 🙂 You are a huge blessing to so many!
Please post the prayer from the simulcast today. Many things in it I need to process and discuss further with my Father. I believe it, I received it, but I want to review it again and again. Thanks so much for today it was powerful, wonderful!
The Simulcast was an awesome work of God! It was “blessed in the Presence”! I watched from the privacy of my home and felt in my inner being that this was exactly where God wanted me to be today. I give Him praise for “the Word” He gave you, Beth, and His obvious anointing in bringing it to the women who would spread the good news. I’m believing God that I received the fresh anointing and spiritual renewal your prayed for so I can be one of these women. I was Girl A. I’m putting out my jars!
Thank you for your faithfulness, Beth, and all the time and energy you put into your ministry. So thankful to God you care as much as you do. I’ve prayed for you before and during the Simulcast, and I hope you are encouraged, edified, and blessed as you continue to believe God.
THANK YOU … MamaBeth, Travis and every person on the team who made this day possible! Thanks for serving us and being a channel of God’s lavish love – may our Savior return the blessing to you all and give you REST 🙂
My daughter and I were refreshed and challenged as we joined in from our living room. By God’s grace, we will not be the same! And God couldn’t have planned things more perfectly – I just finished my preparation to co-lead our Bible study ladies through Jennifer Rothschild’s ‘Walking by Faith’ this week, so today’s ‘word’ was an amazing, heaven-sent gift! I have been settling for ‘fine’ – I want to trust God fully again and put the faith back in my faithfulness…for His surpassing glory!
Dear Beth,
Once again a blessing to sit under your teaching. Thanks you for listening to God, for teaching us to deal with fear,and for praying for me…no one has ever prayed over me like that.Thank you for the time away from your family. Thank you for the challenge you put forth. I also want to thank you for the worship we experienced through Travis and all. Just didn’t want to leave but I want to be one of the many,many women ready to spread the good news. I hope you family was there to love on you when you got home. Thank all that prayed for us. May God hear and grant you prayers. I found out this week I am facing some pre-cancer surgery, but through the word and song I was so strengthened today.
Love in Christ,
Joy
Oh my stars! Siesta Momma! Today was a freeing day for me. Fear, worry, and anxiety have been such a paralyzing part of my life over the last few months and I am SO looking forward to being FREE from it! Just hoping I have enough ink on hand to get these pages all printed tonight. How late is Office Max open?
Thank you Beth for your courage and your perseverance. The word you shared today was so powerful, I believe this was truly an annointed word from God today. Thank you for praying for me today, I was moved to tears. For so many years I have been halted by fear, fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of sounding stupid, fear of not hearing God correctly, fear of not having a degree, fear of not knowing what to say or how to say it and the list goes on and on…But God, my Lord and Savior is a mighty God, and He will never leave me nor forsake me, he is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, He is all powerful and He is for me not against me. Thank you for encouraging us today to keep our faith.
Love, Your sister
Dear Beth and LPM, thank you so much for today’s simulcast! I was so blessed and revived (having a tough year). I wanted to say thank you also for the prayer, and I see others have asked and I want to ask too for y’all to please make that prayer available for us to print. I also want to say that Beth, you are so blessed to have both of your daughters walking with the Lord and obviously so close to you. I have a prodigal daughter and I really needed to be revived, and God definitely worked through you all today. Throwing out the “formula” and living in faith! God bless.
YES PLEASE…Can we have the prayer. It was powerful. I want to pray those things back to the Lord again and again!~
Me too! 🙂
Oh my Sweet Mama Beth …
I cannot tell you what this Word you brought has done to me. I truly feel that God has been working a HUGE thing out in me since last summer when you MADE me do Breaking Free. Between that and the SSMT verses all year, my world was TREMBLING. I was TRULY changed by that study and by capturing of His Word in my heart! And then the message at SSMTC2012 … and then Curtis’ message that Sunday … and THEN – oh, mercy, THEN – the prayer that “someone” (grin) prayed over me at that service after Curtis’ sermon…. OH. OH. OH. I cannot begin to tell you.
Since then, he has been reaffirming it all, over and over. And today – again using you – He brought it all home. I am ready to trust the Mystery. I am ready to forsake. I am ready to run with ALL I have to cling to His feet. I am ready to be emptied so HE can fill my jars. Done with the “fulness”, I am ready for the FAITH. Bring it Lord.
I RECEIVE the prayer you prayed over me today – it WAS over me, as much as that prayer in January. I RECEIVE it and, again, it was what I needed to hear from Him then and there!
I know I am rambling. I know I don’t make sense. I know because when I try to explain it to my man, he looks at me like my next stop is gonna be a padded room … but OH, it is so FREEING!
I AM FREEEEEEEEE!
All this to say thank you.
THANK YOU!
THIS woman, pink hair and all, is ready to join the other many, MANY women and spread the Good News! Praise His HOLY Name!!!
Beckyjomomma –
Woman, I saw your pink head a few rows up and over from me in Houston in January and wished I found time to meet you (the Lord was blossoming a precious, precious friendship btw me and another solo Siesta who lives clear across this country and we sorta hunkered into what God was doing there). Reading your reply here today and thinking back to all He has ordained in the last 12 months in my own life… girl, I just stood here in my basement office with ‘kid litter’ at my feet and work surrounding my keyboard and totally FIST-PUMPED a victory prayer for you!!! Our God is so GOOD!!! One of my SSMT passages was Psalm 68:9-11 – the translation said “the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng.” Proclaim the Word, siesta! How can we stand to keep Him to ourselves!? Holy hugs. 🙂
Awww, how sweet are you?! I wish we HAD met – I cannot resist me some siesta love! This thing God has done here is so very beautiful. The love in this community is the real deal and SO stinkin awesome!
Yes, pump that fist in Holy praise – He is SO faithful and SO good. Many times over the last few days I have pondered what He has done here and found myself saying YES LORD! Yes indeed!
Thank you Beth for a wonderful Saturday! I loved every moment with you! I did want to thank you for the special prayer for “me”, your sister. I know all of us must have felt the same way but I took the prayer personally from you…to our Lord about me. I must say it was powerful! I only wish I could have written it down because you know the enemy will try and still it away. I will push him back!
Joan Knapp from Santa Barbara, CA
His peace to you!
I would love to get a written copy of the prayer that Beth prayed for her sister (me) at the end of the Simulcast. What a glorious day!
Today I went to the simulcast desperate to hear from God and left hungry to hear more. I can’t begin to describe what happened today…I am longing for my personal experience joy to return and to live with expectation that my jars indeed will overflow. Thank-you for your obedience, transparency, and faithful ministry today. From the worship to the final amen it was annointed. Praying all God’s best for you all.
I had the privilege to attend the Living Proof seminar in person today. I was blessed beyond measure!!!! Beth, you are truly God’s instrument. I pray that I can live up to the challenge.
Thank you, You never cease to amaze me. BLESS you!!!
Beth,
Today was wonderful. I was in Reading and it was a true revival of faith for me. Thank you for your faithfulness to His Word. Would it be possible to get a copy of the prayer/petition you prayed over us at the end? I was on my knees! I would like to put it in my Bible.
Love in Him,
Mary Sandifer
Indian Head, MD
Thank you so much. I thank our God that you were able, though his mercy and grace to overcome your fears. We had 100 sisters at our simulcast event today…and even though we had technical difficulties throughout the day, our ladies hung in there faithfully and bathed in His message through you. Thank you for your heart and your courage. I’ve printed the Forsake and Take handout…I’m looking forward to continuing to draw nearer to Him as He calls me.
In Christ,
Margie Evitts
Mama Beth, you have been a blessing to me over and over again. God is using you mightily for his glory. Thank you for all the work you do on our behalf and through it God continues to pour into this jar of clay. I receive it eagerly and what a joy to receive the prayer you prayed for me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much to everyone that allowed me to attend. I was so blessed.
Is there any possibility of the teaching today being release on DVD’s? There so many I know that need to hear this message.
Thanks again,
Kathy
Thank you SO much for your teachings today. You really were speaking to me on so many different levels. You shook my core and got right down to the depths of my heart! My mother and I both gained so much from your message! Not only did it help us both individually, but it was an amazing day to spend together. I am ready to go from Girl Z to taking on FAITH! Thank you for your honesty and having the fearlessness and faithfulness to say what so many of us feel.
Thank you also, for giving me the first step. So many times I find myself asking exactly what you said today, “Where do I start?” You gave me that today and I will continue to grow from it. For so long I have been pretending I am content for fear that if I did ask for something, that it might not happen or that I would be disappointed. But now, I have a renewed sense of excitement. Your message today was my version of your magical closet. I can’t wait to see what comes out of this journey towards FAITHFULNESS!
Thank you for all that you do and may God bless you, your family, and your team!
I attended the simulcast at Martin Tennessee “The Great Forsake and Take” on September 15, 2012. My friend went with me and gave her heart to Christ during the prayer you prayed for those who would “receive” it. I would like to have a copy of that prayer since my friend prayed for salvation and I prayed for more of Him. Would this be possible? It would add great value to my prayer life and would remind me of the commitments I made that day. The prayer was straight from God. Thank you…Pat
Beth:
Thank you so much for today!…. I have been overcome with fear for a very long time now. Between my health and job concerns, my world feels like it has been turned upside down and fear has had a huge hand over me. His words through you were and are very encouraging and I can’t wait to run these off and read them over and over again.
Love you so much… blessing on you Siesta Momma!
Dear Beth,
What a wonderful day and powerful word. The worship was also such a blessing! I would love to have a copy of the prayer. There was so much in it and I am one women who wants to believe and receive. Thank-you to all who made this day possible.
I just returned from the LPL Event in Reading, PA.
I don’t even know where to begin…there are just no words sufficient to explain how this message spoke to “me”. I am Girl A…I have almost nothing, “in American terms”. Over my life time I have experienced so much loss, but the last 5 years has,in so many ways, paralyzed me with the fear of “what’s going to be next?” I try to push the enemy’s lies out of my head that I am a vessel of dishonor, that’s why I have next to nothing and what little I do have is, so often, taken away…physically and emotionally. But I love God and desire more than life! How could He have chosen me to be a vessel of dishonor but caused me to love and desire Him so? So,I am fearful…like Girl Z, afraid to love too much, afraid to ask too much, and so afraid to hope too much…until tonight.
Beth prayed a prayer tonight over every “sister” who would receive. Although there was probably over 5,000 women in attendance I felt alone in the room as she prayed and that she prayed that prayer specifically for me…I am believing that the chains of years of fear fell off tonight.
Me too, Sabrina. I am standing with you. Much love, Anne
I am so thankful for the simulcast! God sent a Word to me today. I tried something new, I am a big believer in fellowship, but today I watched by myself on my laptop. God knew exactly what I needed to hear, and being at home, I believe my mind and heart was able to process the deep truth I needed at this time in my life. Thank you, bless you, the “fear not” scriptures will be a true gift to someone that has fought fear and anxiety my whole life! MOVE BACK Satan – Today was packed full of so much truth! I absolutely loved the prayer at the end, how amazing it would be to have a copy of that prayer! You are a true servant for Christ, thank you for being obedient to His calling on your life.
im pretty much at a loss for words right now (which is rare for me) but I wanted to thank you ms. Beth for your FAITHfulness to Gods calling. today’s message was basically the culmination and confirmation of something the Lords been communicating to me for months now. I have printed out the Great Forsake and Take and read every verse already twice claiming them as mine. I have been absolutely crippled by fear over Gods call on my life and I’m soooo ready to become unrecognizable to my own self. so ready I can’t stand it. I am a sister who RECEIVED your intercession today and I pray that I will never be the same from this day forward, to the great glory of our Almighty God. may He alone receive the praise for what He has done and will do in my life. I’m ready. He is faithful. that’s all I need to know.
Best ever! Thanks to Beth and your whole team.
To Beth and all those who labored to bring the simulcast to us today:
Thank you, thank you for all of the work you did. So many of us, in reading the comments, were delivered today. So many were healed and transformed. So many of us heard from God – heard him call our names. I feel so blessed to have been able to participate from my home today. More than once, tears and then laughter and then more tears came. I feel as though I have laid a hold of a great treasure today, one that I will never, so help me, let go of.
All of you labored and it helped so many of us to get back up to our feet after having been knocked down, brought down and dried out. Thank you and THANK GOD for being the one to come and help us all.
Much love, Heather in NH
I received your prayer for me.
By Faith and with more Love and Gratitude than I could ever communicate to you.
Angie in Michigan

Beth, I Am amazed on how God uses you to speak to my spirit. Your prayer at the end of the conference was powerful. I was wondering if there is any way I can get a printed copy of it? It was As if something inside of me was set free.
Today’s revival is what I needed! Thank you for sharing the truth in God’s Word! This Girl Z learned so many paralyzing fears that are crippling my faith walk … out with the “fine” and in with the FAITH. Thank you for sharing the “HOW” with me … Thank you for praying over me … Thank you. To HIM be the glory.
Beth,
Today was absolutely Spirit filled! We were at the church watching on the screen but we felt like we were there.
What a wonderful message that God spoke through you today. Thanks for sharing the Word with us today and encouraging us to get our face in the book. Also for encouraging us to revive our faith and push back the enemy.
By the way we love the way you talk and all your antics.
God Bless!
First Baptist Church, Haskell, OK there were 31 ladies
Beth:
This was a Spirit-filled, life-changing, powerful and awesome worship service. You and Travis were outstanding. Thank you for sharing your story of deliverance from fear. I have learned that fear, shame and guilt are all from Satan. My prayers are with you as you continue on your journey. Thank you for helping so many women to get set free and empowered to go on in the name of Jesus. Be Blessed!
Thank you Beth for your absolutely touching and inspiring words. I am from San Antonio, TX and attended your Simulcast at Community Bible Church in Bulverde. I have struggled many weeks and months to let go and forgive my ex for the feeling of abandonment of our marriage and daughter. I have wanted to let go and forgive by the Grace of God but just have had such a difficult time. With your message God gave me the power to have complete Faith in Him, to forgive, and let go. I feel more at peace today than I have for such a long time. With rededicating my life to Jesus, I am choosing not to let the reminders of my ex’s comments and hurts take me back to the dark places in our marriage. It is the past. With my sights on Jesus, His Glory, His love, His forgiveness, and faithfullness, I am letting go of the past and moving to the blessed future I have with our Lord, Jesus and the priceless plans He has for me in my future. Thanks for your inspiration. Thanks for allowing me to take back my life, and be the very best that God intended me to be. Part of it is to be a great sister for one of the best sisters in the world. Her courage and strength is unsurpassed. She is a beautiful person on the inside and out! She desparately wanted to be with me today at your Simulcast but her medical condition did not allow her to be. She tried though. She came for a little over an hour. She did not want her disease to take her from this event. She felt is was the devil. But she came and tried and I believe that that was a wonderful miracle. I believe in God and He was speaking miracles to her even though she was not there. You, Beth, were speaking God’s truths to her even though she was not there. Thank you for that! Thank you for drawing me closer to God. I am now ready to face anything because the power of Jesus and my Faith will get me through anything.
Thank you Beth!! God spoke to me through you today. I have struggled with trusting God over the last few years because I have begged Him to heal my chronic migranes to no avail. I had tried all the formulas in hopes that it would work. I even had a man of God pray over me for healing in Israel at the same place that Jesus healed the blind man with mud. Jesus did something powerful in me that day but He didn’t heal me from migranes. I had stopped praying for healing, settling with fine, trusting in fullness in other areas of my life. Today was a huge awakening!! The miracle I’ve sought after has already happened on the day of my salvation. Anything more than that is an added blessing. Today I choose to trust Him and allow Him to do miracles of HIS choice inside me. Beth, you have spoken words of truth & freedom into my life so many times. How can I ever thank you enough for heeding God’s call on your life. So grateful today…and blessed!
Lori-I have a similar situation and my take home was pretty much the same. Just know you are not alone in this. I’m super encouraged with this take home and I hope and pray I won’t go back to unfaithfulness and distrust. I feel like a new woman in Christ!!!
Hi Beth, I attended the simulcast in Tucson, AZ. I appreciate the seven points you made, especially #3, “Fear is the crippler of a walking, talking miracle.” This past year I have overcome a 24 year ‘fear’ and am experiencing walking/talking miracles each day! I’VE BEEN SET FREE!!!!! Praise God. Thank you for confirming what God is leading me through. God bless your ministry!
It is almost 11pm and I am still thinking about today…funny- even though you told us so much, one thing still goes through my mind- (not sure I am saying this right) living by faith instead of by sight. I became a follower of Christ at 12 – but today I started living for Christ. What an amazing and puzzling feeling!
Dear Beth,
I was one of the individuals singing infront of my laptop in my pajamas this morning. 🙂 The Lord spoke powerful words through you today, but I wanted to specifically thank you for praying over ME! It SO was amazing, just as if only you, me and God were in the room. The Lord be praised!
Whewww. What a Word. I had finally made it to being FINE. I don’t want to be fine anymore. I need my faith back. I want my faith back. Thank you for praying for me. Thank you for being honest and speaking the Truth today.
Beth: Thank you Thank you Thank you! You have no idea..but God did in his perfect timing how Eastside Baptist church in Mountain Home, AR would need this revival today. Our pastor (of 20 years) was killed in an accident a little over a week ago. He would have been so happy to see the church filled and going forward and trusting in our Lord Jesus Christ. I know you touched many today, myself included.
Thank you my dear friend for helping me see that God can indeed use broken vessels. God and I celebrated 21 years of sobriety a few days ago…but by the Grace of God go I.
I needed so much to be reminded that He can use a wretch like me! Meet you at the throne!
Thank you so much for your word today! We saw many miracles in Jacksonville, Florida as we watched together at CrossRoad Church, UMC. We are all so grateful for you and your team. Thank you! Is there any way you could post a copy of the prayer you prayed over us (me)? Or could it even be posted on Youtube? or your website? It was so powerful. I would love to hear it again as a reminder of what God is going to do in and through me. Also, we had a couple of ladies who had to leave early for work. We love you!! We pray for you always!!
Thank you Jesus! Wow! Did I ever get a WORD. Keep doing the thing girlfriend…I look forward to sharing how much God has changed me exactly 3 months today! I will walk by FAITH and am taking the next step in Jesus name.
