I MISS YOU GUYS!!!! Much to catch up on! You guys want to get together for 30 minutes and livestream? And how would it be to actually know a day in advance this time?? SO, if you’re available, mark it down somewhere, jot it on a post-note or tell Siri on your iPhone to remind you to meet up…
Wednesday January 9th (tomorrow) at straight up 12:00 noon Central Standard Time. We’ll say hello, catch up a bit, grab hold of a Scripture, pray together and get you right back to your day in a flash.
To join in with us tomorrow, simply click on this link a minute or two before we air and you’ll be good to go. For you early birds, if you arrive too early, you’ll see that it is password protected. This is so that we can get it set up and ready to go without an audience. Grin. If you’ll be patient with us, we will remove the password about ten minutes prior to going live. So don’t let the password mess with you! It will come down right on time.
If you’ve having a problem accessing the livestream channel through the link provided, you can also find us by simply typing “Living Proof Ministries Livestream” into Google.
I love you guys! See you tomorrow? And pray for me to be able to serve you diligently and filled with the Holy Spirit. God can do a lot in half an hour. I do want to have fun but I don’t want to take it lightly.

I just happen to have some bright colored construction paper, I am going to make myself a crown, what a neat visual!I love that verse in Psalm 65, I love thinking of God crowning this new year with goodness!
Thanks so much for this uplifting, jump starting devotion for the new year,
Kathy
Loved the description of the crown encircling us, very safe feeling in very uncertain times. Thanking God in advance for His good bounty!! Had fun today siestas!!!
Dear Beth and LP team, Thank YOU so much for the Word and prayer…. very powerful and encouraging. Received the prayer on my knees and then replayed to copy portions for my prayer journal.
“For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.” Ps. 21:3 (NKJV)

THANK YOU, MISS BETH!! I can’t wait to make my own tiara~crown AND I may just start it as a new family tradition! 🙂 There are no words for you and your team – Thank You is only a start. Oh how we love you and our God who works uniquely through you. XXX OOO mauh!
Psalm 91: 1 (niv) Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
just rec’d my email…missed the fun! is there a link I where I can watch the message?
I think we’re going to have a whole lot of Psalm 65 check-ins on the 15 this month! 😉 Thank you so much for the word Miss Beth, it was exactly what I {and so many other it sounds like} needed. Love you! {and thank you for helping and hanging with us Lindsee! Love you too 🙂 }
My husband and I are studying the Bible study on Deuteronomy. It is powerful and has been a great encouragement to us. Wanted to say that Melissa’s commentary is great! It is an added bonus to the great teaching that we are receiving from Beth. Thank you, Melissa, your knowledge of this amazing book is profound and I find it quite liberating. The law was given to us . . . a gift . . . His demonstration of grace. I love that! It is an attribute of our God, part of His beauty to give us what we need so that we can have an abundant life in Him. So grateful for that! Thank you for sharing with us!
Blessings,

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarely die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die, but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 ESV
I know this question doesn’t pertain to this post, but I didn’t know where else to leave it.
I’m participating in SSMT2013 and had recently, just a few months before 2012 was over, really began dedicating time to scripture memory). I’ve memorized scripture before, but I always find myself losing hold of those verses which I’ve memorized. Any suggestions or resources on how frequently a verse should be revisted, once committed, in order to keep it fresh and vibrant in the mind, always ready for God to use in my life?
Megan,
I’ve found the spiral notebook really helps with this!!!
You can flip back and forth throughout the year to refresh your memory, and often when committing to memory scriptures that are super relevant at the time, you will find that you may need to pray more than one of them over your current situation!!
May God bless your committment!
I watched the “live” video 22 hours post air, and enjoyed it so much! I have now fixed it so that I get an email when new posts are added to the blog, so that NEXT time, I can watch it live for real! Thank you for your love of Christ that shines through!!!
Hey Beth, I got to watch the livestream just a few minutes ago, and I’m so glad that I did! I really need the encouragement. God has brought me through a very, very hard time at the beginning of 2012 and He did a miracle, I think, in my life that I don’t ever want to reverse or back track! You are so right that we need to encourage one another and all the more as we see the day approaching. I totally agree, I want to bear much fruit this year, so proving to be His disciple! I don’t want to miss out because of my own fears and unbelief. Bless you much today, Beth, I am grateful that the Lord has put it in your heart to serve us, and I’m so glad that He loves us like that, that He would heal us and use us to His glory:) Please keep praying for us, your Siestas, we need it! Praying for you, warmest HUGS always:)
OK Momma Beth…. Thank you for being so open to The Lord and His leading!!!
I have been a CAREGIVER for my BFF, Kaye for over 22 years. She suddenly went home to be with Jesus right before Thanksgiving, leaving me with my head spinning. I have been without a job, credit history or renting info during that period of time. THIS YEAR… is the year to find MYSELF. I have decided to relocate to Florida and start afresh. This WORD WAS SO FOR ME!!! Thank you for listening. He is so good!!!
What a sweet time of fellowship. I’m home on my own most days, so it was a delight to kneel and pray with all of you!
mama beth-
I am not finished listening yet to the live stream, but I so far heard about the crown…I absolutely can agree with that, and its a beautiful visual, but I also wanted to add to it in regards to God from what my pastor has taught us.
We need to start seeing God in a linear way, that there is order to the way He is…probably the most powerful thing I’ve ever heard. But I can agree the crown around us in the way he does things.
Love you all 🙂

“For His anger is but for a moment,His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may last for a night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 (NAS)
James 1:5-6 (NIV)
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Thanks so much for the inspired Word, Mama Beth! Thanks also for leaving it online so those of who couldn’t catch it live were able to watch it and be blessed!
I think we might do a family devo with the crown for a craft.
Love you sweet mama and your team!
(loved lindsey’s post too…made me wonder…what would I ask?
Thanks, Beth! Sure would be fun to livestream Tuesday night Bible study 🙂
May we continue to look for the blessings and good God is doing in and around and through us~He does not disappoint!
love,

But now, this what the Lord says, He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1 NIV
WOW! I got to watch this a few days late, but SO timely. We received some tough news yesterday and both my husband and I began to sink into discouragement, feeling like we were about to venture into a battle with our child that we would never have victory over. But, praise God…the thought came that this could actually be the beginning of a breakthrough. Whether or not the breakthrough comes, the reality is that His goodness will be found through this. When I was struggling with feeling I would never bear good fruit as a parent, this word came to say otherwise…thank you, Lord! What does His good/bounty speak to me now? I’m reminded of His word to Martha – Mary has chosen that good part (Luke 10:42) – maintaining that relationship with Jesus! Thank you for this word! Oh…and, my daughhter and I are making our crown crafts too! 🙂
