Hi, Everybody!
Saturday is almost upon us! In a little while I’ll zip up my suitcase and head out for my flight to Reading, Pennsylvania. After having this on my radar for so long, I am now in the process of steadying myself in Christ and trusting what He’s given to us for this weekend and thanking Him in advance for His faithfulness. The segment we’re studying is strongly impacting me and I pray God will use it to strongly impact you. I don’t like a lot of hype because I think it sets up expectations in the human realm that mostly can’t be met. But I believe strongly in the power of the Holy Spirit released on a sincere and seeking people through the Word of God and the saving Name of Christ. My hope is steadfastly in Him this weekend. As the psalmist said in the 62nd chapter, my expectation is in Him alone.
The entire team has prayed hard and planned hard and studied hard toward this weekend but that’s not a drop in the bucket toward what we’re really asking. We don’t want a blessing in keeping with our preparation. We don’t want what we deserve or what we have earned. God help us, no. We want a full-fledged visitation of Jesus. FAVOR. The kind that reveals and heals and steals back everything the enemy has stolen.
I am leaving this post for you in hopes that you’ll let the Mama around here know where all the participating blog chicks will be tomorrow. If you’re in a group, tell me where and what general size (small group in a den, larger group at a church), and if you’re participating solo, let me know that as well. Be sure and include your city so that we can place you on our mental map. You’ll see my own staff on there. They’ve already got a screen set up in our board room so picture all your Living Proof servants gathered among you as well! They totally amaze me.
As for you who are participating solo, approach the day and the study with full interaction! I will not forget that you are there for a single moment. (Nor any of the rest of you!) I know first hand that this medium can be tremendously effective. I had to fly back from Atlanta to Houston in January of this year before the Passion conference had ended and I watched the remainder of it from my home via my laptop screen. I sang with them and I turned in my Bible where they did and I totally engaged and at times I was so intimately involved that the tears streamed down my cheeks. I say this to testify that a personal livestream experience can be POWERFUL. God is not limited in any conceivable way here. Fully engage! If I ask you to repeat something, do it out loud and with enthusiasm! Look up every Scripture. Take down your notes. Enter in to every praise and prayer experience. During the commissioning at the end, I will be your partner. Stand to your feet and do the thing. R.E.C.E.I.V.E.
Oh, Sisters, I am so honored to serve you. You are a high priority around here. Pray for me as I pray for you. EXPECT God to speak to you and alter you in a vital, life-giving fashion. That’s what I want, too. Exercise some FAITH toward tomorrow, Sweet Things. And pray for the enemy to be bound from every direction and to be forbidden even an inch of ground. And, one more thing: pray against distraction. Lord have mercy, we’re so distracted these days that we can hardly focus on God long enough to get the full blessing out of an encounter. Set our chins like flint toward Your face, Jesus. We will not let go until You bless us.
You are so dear to me, Siestas. You can well know that you’re on my mind. I love you so. Lindsee will be watching over you all day and moderating. I’m so thankful for her.
Jesus, do this thing. Do it UP. We surrender.
I can’t join in tomorrow but was wondering if I could pay the single price and somehow record it to watch later. Does anyone have any information on this? Thank you so much!!
A big far, far, far west TX hug for our Siesta Mama from El Paso! Will have 16 ladies from my church (Rock Church-El Paso) gathering in my livingroom.
Watching with 11 other women in my living room in Abingdon, Virginia – been getting it ready all evening. Praying for you and your team – greatly anticipating what God has in store for us!

A fresh word and renewal from the Lord of all! Praising Him for your obedience, Beth!! 🙂
I’ll be watching solo in my living room here in Lake Charles, LA.
Dear Beth,
I will be going solo for the simulcast watching from my living room sofa. My heart has felt so wounded as of late I’ve had a hard time participating in anything including this blog. But I promise to partcipate in every way, shape, and form. When you call everyone to their feet I’ll be standing with you. I’ll also be standing with you in prayer. I’ve been thinking about a picture God gave me in my mind’s eye during a special service I attended a while back. In my mind’s eye I saw as we in the service continued to lift up the name of Jesus the chains around the enemy continued to grow tighter and tighter and God was able to accomplish what He set out to do that night. I am praying for the same tommorow all over this land where the enemy has trampled. We are taking it back in Jesus’ mighty name!
I moved last month from northern Iowa to South Georgia. I dropped the kids off at my parents in south Alabama this afternoon and I will be attending with a couple of sweet, long time friends at their church, Thelma Baptist, in Wetumpka AL. I think they are expecting around 300.
Listening to Travis’ tracks…
Praying that He would steal our show in Clay Center, Kansas and in every. single. location… expecting up to 100 ladies in the mercy morn.
Beside myself with excitement and anticipation.
”Do it Lord, Do it Lord, do it LORD, we are praying…
Do it Lord, do it that Your GLORY may be SEEN.”

Hi — I will be watching from my home in the Los Angeles area. God is so good to remind me late tonight of this event tomorrow. I just arrived back home from the hospital with a new baby (who came 3 weeks early). I had planned to work on making sure I was ready to go for the simulcast this week…. then I ended up having a baby. I will be listening and breastfeeding hopefully using the DVR option. Blessings to you all. My soul needs this time. Thanks so much.

There are around 90-100 women gathering at Grace East Church in Pontoon Beach, Illinois for this simulcast. We are expecting big things from our Mighty God! We have prayed, prayed, and prayed for lives to be changed today. Prayer for situations/lives to be restored, and for lives to become new. For the hope that lies within us to be shared!
We are praying for a revival, an abundance of the Holy Spirit to sweep across that church. An annointing that no one will be able to deny!
Lastnight we had an amazing time of prayer. We are praying as Gods people that today we would shine the light of Jesus to the lost, the seeking, and the hurting as we serve them during this simulcast.
We are also praying for you the team. That God will work among you!
At this point, the ladies Of Grace East are praying without ceasing for new things- for God to do a mighty work in lives of women. That no one would leave this simulcast the same.
Blessed!

FBC, Andersonville, TN. With 85 other women. Praying that hearts are made right with God today. Lord, let your glory fall!
My new friend and I are participating at the Chapel Barrington in Barrington, IL.
My friend’s marriage is in bad shape. Just this past week she has felt hopeless. None of us can survive without hope. I pray the Lord will restore her hope, give her the strength to hold on and give her peace even in the midst of turmoil. It is God’s providence that we are going, so I know He has a Word for us.
Thank you all for this opportunity to meet with God with a bunch of like-minded women all with the same desire, to hear from the Lord. Can’t wait to worship with you all.

Due to circumstances brought on by months of sickness, I’ll be watching and listening by myself today. I registered for this session at 7:00 a.m. because I was unsure if God would have a word for me. Then I read Beth’s blog and I realized satan was once again trying to distract me from a blessing. I’ll be praying for all of you and I trust you’ll be praying for me and the world that needs a special touch from God today.
I will be with hundreds at Southcrest Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX . ( more accurate count in a few hours!). We’re excited to meet with Jesus! Praying!!
