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.
Going with a friends church in Platter, Oklahoma to a nearby church in Denison, Texas. There will be 13 of us joining the larger group there.

Jesus, do a fine and powerful work throughout this ministry. You reign. We love and pray in your sweet name. Amen.
We will be going solo this weekend due to a sick baby and Hubby out of town! Please pray that I can study with my other children (7, 5 and 3 years old) and we can all be refreshed by the Word of God. Praying for all of you!
Patti walker, attending at Niceville united Methodist church in Niceville, fl. So very excited. Bring it on Miss Beth!!!
Diane – Roswell, GA – watching solo via my computer! Thank you for having this option otherwise I couldn’t have joined in today! 🙂
Sitting here in my baggy t-shirt and yoga pants with my laptop. Hair is still foofy from the updo I had last night for the Wigs 4 Kids fundraiser. Glad to be spending a perfect Saturday this way. My exhausted self [full time work at a school, grad school for myself, battling students’ germs, craziness all around] is so glad for this option so I didn’t have to choose between things this weekend or wear out my poor self at such a time. Bring it, Beth!
The enemy is at work… As the simulcast test worked fine for the event today. Just before the event began, the Lifeway simulcast webpage went down. We can’t even login to our simulcast accounts and all technical support lines have been busy for the last 50 minutes.
I get to go with my mom to my church, Ephesus Baptist Church, in Winston, GA! Thank you for this day to be together in God’s word.
Naomi – Colorado Springs. Simulcasting solo. Just want to thank God for the Word He has already given me with the first message.
I am watching you at home. Palm City, Fl.

He is Sovereign!

Watching the Simulcast from my house in Thailand. So blessed… Thank you Jesus that you are glory, peace, light, power, victory,l ove and LIFE.
Darla; watching alone from Steelers Nation—Pittsburgh, PA. 🙂
Beth, I just have to say that you are definitely your children’s mother and grandmother—-as fantastic as you are looking for today’s broadcast, it looks as though you’ve given yourself a knee-ectomy! 🙂 Thanking the Lord for a wonderful session today. God bless you, mama!
Mighty Father, I pray that your Holy Spirit would continue to sustain Beth and her team as the teaching time comes to an end (3:30EST as I type…). I pray that those who have received a fresh word from you today would not forget it as though looking in the mirror and forgetting what they’ve heard when they walk away but that it would sink deep down into their souls and change the way they live every single day. Thank you Jesus for technology and the positive ways that you are choosing to use it. Bind the enemy from interfering with his false lies and deceit. In Jesus name, Amen.
I wasn’t able to attend, but I’m praying! Blessings on you and your team Siesta Mama.
I drove to Topeka Indiana- a large group of women and hearig Jesus speak directly to my soul-
Just wanted to thank you for the Simulcast in PA. I watched remotely and felt very plugged in even from the seat of my couch watching on my laptop from the mountains of WV. God is using your ministry. Well done everyone- wonderful music and wonderful topic.
Just know I felt God’s presence and in faith, may we all find that courage to spread the good news. May we always pursue God’s purpose for our life.
I first was introduced to Beth Moore Bible Study in Georgia about 10 years ago. Love your passion for Christ- it’s contagious.
Thank you so much for offering the individual viewing this year. There were no churches in my immediate area offering the simulcast and I was afraid I would have to miss it this year. I watched today from my home computer and everything went off without a hitch. God is so faithful in all things! As always, I loved the message and the music. You all make a great team and your love for our savior makes it even more special. Blessings to you all. I’m already looking forward to next year!
Thank you so much Beth. What a wonderful day. Every minute super. Love, 🙂
I loved the conference! Thanks for the prayer you prayed to each One of us. Is there anyway we can get a copy of the words of the prayer. I’d like to pray it for my daughters. It was everything I was thinking, but couldn’t put into works.
To Him be the Glory,
Jodi
Going solo in Cincinnati, OH! (Milford, more specifically). Had to hit the pause button to attend my daughter’s soccer game and finished up a little later than most. PROFOUND WORD, Beth! Today is a date worth noting in my spiritual journey. Thank you, Beth. Thank You, Jesus!
DeRidder, Louisiana. Local church two towns over. We had about 40 from all over the community. We all participated in worship and singing. We talked back, amen-ed and clapped throughout. I even got to text back and forth with a friend who was solo at home.
Wonderful. Powerful. FAITH-FULL
About 17 of us at First Baptist Church Quitman, GA
I participated from my home, solo!

Mrs. Beth I went to your show today and I would really like to let you i enjoyed being there. I’m am 15 years old and what you said really inspired me to be a better christian. I will admit that i was not living my life like I should have,but you have spoken Gods words and opened my eyes. I would like to thank you for all that you did today, I am proud to say that I know I wanted to be your sister so bad and know I am. I know that thank you is not near enough to show you how truly thankful I am.
Love,
Daisy Jewell from ft.McCoy FL.
I love the way our Lord moves. I didn’t want to go this morning only because I worked all week and needed a day to take care of housework. But as soon as I got to the front door of The Mission Church in NY, the power of the Holy Spirit moved on me. Beth, I praise our God for using you to bring His word into sharper focus in our lives. I too had my jars open on my counter after one of our pastors preached using the same scripture. What I had missed is our jars are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I am excited to see the fruits grow from today. Blessings to my sister in Christ.
