Hey, Darling Things!
I bet I don’t have to tell you the one big thing that is on my mind this week. No weekend event on my annual calendar looms any larger in my mind than a Living Proof Live Simulcast. It stays on my radar from the time the LifeWay event team tells me it’s scheduled until the last song of the final session. At this point, I’m thinking about it every waking moment, praying, studying, and believing God to invade every single host site and every single screen. Please pray with me to that end. Only Jesus can do what we want to see done. Only Jesus can make it worth the time and effort for anyone to attend.
As I picture our “class” out there on the other side of that screen this coming Saturday, I have great comfort, joy, and even a unique peace in imagining those of you from this community who may be among them. Out of His great mercy and purpose, God fashioned my heart to love women – of all sorts of ages, sorts, denominations, backgrounds, colors, vocations – and I am graced immeasurably to get to serve a single one. You, however, are the closest community I have out in the public sector and a tremendous source of joy to me. I would love to get a general estimate of how many of you Siestas will be participating in the simulcast and the location of your participation, whether in a group or solo right in front of your computer screen. [For individual/small group registration, Lifeway can set you up here.]
I think you also might love knowing that information on one another. You may have a Siesta tuning in only 15 minutes from you and you could both sit in front of the same screen or engage and interact via text, Twitter, or Facebook. It’s a blast just to know who’s out there and exactly where and it might make some of you who are going solo feel more connected throughout the day.
SO, let’s take a roll call! And let’s give our information in this order so that the cities where we are attending will appear first:
City and State, Name, whether in a Group or going Solo, and, if with a group, Where. (Not the address, of course, especially if it’s a private location. Just the name of the church or public place or if it’s your friend’s home, just say that much.)
Mine would look like this:
Charleston, West Virginia (the host site where it will be taped live), Beth Moore, group, Charleston Civic Center.
Your turn!
After you sign in, please pray for us. Please pray for many lost women to attend and for every single one of them to be FOUND in Christ. With the Holy Spirit’s infiltration, we will give a clear presentation of the Gospel. Pray for God to also perform miraculous works of deliverance and for the entire paradigm of faith to shift for those in desperate need of Truth. Pray for every person in attendance to hear dramatically and clearly from God. PRAY BIG.
My coworkers each prayed Scripture over me Monday at our staff meeting and gave me their prayers on index cards or pieces of paper. I have each one in my notebook and I was profusely built up in my spirit and in my faith over them. Sabrina prayed out of Psalm 85 (Vv.4-13) and the words seemed so perfectly suited for our event on Saturday that I thought I’d add them into this post for your intercession. I wonder if you would agree with us in prayer that God would do exactly what these verses request and MORE!
Restore us again, O God of our salvation…revive us again,
that Your people may rejoice in You.
Show us Your steadfast love, O LORD,
and grant us Your salvation.
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
Yes, the LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him
and make His footsteps a way. (ESV)
Isn’t that powerful? I think God would be so pleased for us to come around that segment of Scripture as diverse people of unified mind, turning it into prayer for His great glory to be revealed this coming Saturday.
You, Sisters, are treasures to me. My walk with Jesus would not be the same had you not come along.
*** Siestas! We also are so happy to tell you that for any of you that cannot afford a ticket to the live site in Charleston, WV, we have 20 tickets to gift to those of you that funds are just too tight to come on your own.

Praying Jesus shows up mightily and that His Presence is palpable. That we are all forever changed from having been in His Presence. No tech issues, double portion anointing for the team and great hair day for our Siesta Mama!!! 🙂 In the matchless name of JESUS. Amen

Hey there Siesta Mama,
So sad I won’t be able to watch this weekend. I hope it will be available later on to watch when time allows. But I promise to be in constant prayer for the event. This weekend I am spending time with a lovely woman who I have had the privlege of sharing my faith with. She told me I am the first person to share my faith with her that has not made her angry. God is so faithful! I am so glad He has given me the words to say in a way she can recieve them. I’m taking her to church this weekend and praying in earnest for her salvation. If anyone would like to agree with me in prayer for her, her name is Natalie. Thank you! Blessings to siestaveille and of course our Siesta Mama! Will pray w/o ceasing for event!
My goof! I must have totally missed this is just roll call for those who will be particpating. I’m so sorry! I won’t be offended if you delete my comment…Egg on myface.So embarassed! But know my prayers will be with all of you as my heart always is.

Hi Beth,
My Women’s Bible Study will be joining you from Anchorage, Alaska,for the Simulcast on Saturday. I invited my adult daughter, for whom we have been praying, and she agreed to come! I pray that God will be able to reach her, through you, the same way that my heart has been opened and my faith strengthened by my studying the Word with you. Thank you so much for accepting this calling. May God continue to bless you.
Sincerely,
Meghan Lochner

I’m meeting my cousin to attend. We won’t know anyone at the church. But as I’ve experienced in the past, there is a bond between believers in Christ that does not require that we worship in the same church or the same city to feel at ease with each other!
I prayed for you this morning Beth. I’ll continue to play for you each morning until the simulcast 🙂
