    Listening to what God placed on your heart to share…and then reading through all the comments…2013 has been a hard year for so many. Going through the suicide of my son-in-law in July, and now the suicide of his dad at Thanksgiving has left our family devastated. However, we are devastated but not destroyed. I too will not let the enemy have that. Praying hard over my daughter and granddaughters, this message is like a breath of fresh air over my soul today. I trust God in all this and am looking forward to His work through all this tragedy that the enemy means for the destruction of my family. A 12th month that redeems a year. YES!! Lord, do this to the GLORY of YOUR GREAT NAME!!

    You cannot imagine how timely this is…this has been a very hard year on almost every front. I have been depressed (didn’t realize I was until I got my joy back)but told my daughter last night that I felt I had turned a corner and now was happy and joyous. It has been a slow process but I have seen the Lord working continually this year. Our year began last December 2012 and so what a great thing to have been brought to the end of December 2013 and see what God has done and to believe that He is going to finish out this year by redeeming it for us.

    I needed to hear this more than you will ever know. I rarely visit your website, so I know God brought me here. (I only visited today because the video on another website froze.) I cannot wait to see how He redeems. THANK YOU!

    Thank you SO MUCH for this devotional! It was exactly what I needed today. I personally know SO many people who are in a difficult season of life and have been for awhile, but… I will be praying with you for a victorious end to 2013 for all of us! Just love this! It has given me renewed hope!

    Beth, Needed that more than you could know. Gotta love Jesus for giving you and me and us such a timely word. There isn’t anything that comes or goes that isn’t for our good when we put it in His loving hands. I love you more than I can say with words. Keeping the faith, L

    Thank you Beth! I’m encouraged! That was really what I needed to hear right now! I’ll let you know how this month goes. I’m excited to find out myself!

    Jackie says:

    Beth, thank you so much for sharing this word with us. This year has been a hard one for me and my family too. I trust and know that God has been there all along in the good and the bad. I will be praying expectantly for what God will do this twelfth month and in 2014.

    My goodness I am so thankful for this message. Thank you Beth.

    Debbie says:

    This may not be a popular post but this is the weirdest teaching I have ever heard. This is not biblical teaching. Nowhere in scripture does God promise to redeeem people from their troubles in the 12th month. I understand how you would love to have an end to the troubles of 2013 (I sure would too!) but more accurate teaching would be

    I Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you!

    Trust Jesus through the trials! In this world you will have trouble! Jesus Christ suffered and the scriptures say it is a priviledge to suffer with Him. Hang in there! He coming back for you!

    • 62.1
      Beth says:

      There is a difference between claiming that He has promised to do something and asking Him if He would. The post was to ask God if, out of His kindness and mercy, He’d be willing to grant us an ending to the year that would keep us from looking back at it and seeing it only as a year of defeat. We do have the privilege of seeing in His Word how He’s worked in the past and asking Him if He would be willing to do it again. He can say no. We are not claiming it as a promise. We are asking as children have the freedom to do with their father, knowing we may or may not receive it but that we are safe to approach him. The 12th month in those situations were months where tables turned. That’s what we were petitioning Him for. And, meanwhile, we do indeed trust Jesus through these trials and pray to be faithful servants. Praise God, He IS coming back for all of us.

    Beth,
    Blessings that the Lord put on your heart to share the 12th month. I am doing your Daniel study now by myself (this is the 2nd time). I am doing Esther next..
    I love the verses you shared and I KNOW that God is mightly out pouring His Spirit in this time, the time that He has chosen. God is using men and women of all ages in this time to turn back to Him. We were born for a TIME SUCH AS THIS..
    Prayers for you and your family, please keep me and my family in your prayers as well.
    In His Perfect Timing!!

    Beth, I couldn’t get down on my knees to pray with you because I fell on the ice today. Praising God that I didn’t lose any teeth, and I only have a busted chin. It sounds so funny … but I was totally sprawled out on the ice in the McDonald’s parking lot. Put a hole in my favorite pair of jeans. Ugh. Got to church after falling, to teach Sunday school, 5th grade … and the lesson is about Jesus because of Christmas … and I just thought how hard life is … and how we so desperately need Jesus. I cried like a baby when I fell down … cried on the way to church … and a tad bit at church … it’s just a reminder how fragile this life is … one minute, we are fine … the next, we may be suffering. Oh, we need Jesus. Praising our sweet Savior for being there for us … for living and dying for us.

    And praying for your precious family. You all mean the world to me. Your faith is beautiful. God has been so faithful to your family, and I know He will turn this year into something beautiful!

    Deborah Mott says:

    Praying for this for you and your family! Thanks for sharing TRUTH and HOPE of SURE WORD!

    Last Sunday, heard a sermon on same King Jechonias (KJV) Matthew 1:11-12 on how CHRIST TRIUMPHED/ overcame all curses, in particular He overcame the curse that none of this king’s ancestors would sit on the throne and yet this king’s line is traced through the line of Joseph and we find: JESUS IS KING ON THE THRONE!
    Just listened to Revelation 12 sermon: Satan never loses more power or is overcome more dramatically than when death brings forth VICTORY! 1 Co 15:26 Last enemy to be defeated is death…Death has been defeated by CHRIST and because OF HIS VICTORY He even forgives murder and all sins!
    I am still awaiting HIS FULL REDEMPTION and been under such serious attacks…even life threatening ones! Still struggling with major issues! Relentless attacks…one of hardest times ever and in a hard life this is saying a lot!
    Genesis 50:20 part of Sunday School lesson today as was Psalm 23:3-4 The righteous path: HE IS WITH US… we walk THROUGH the shadow of the valley of death….JESUS WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DEATH…(not the shadow of the valley) OF DEATH itself…so we will never see death spiritually! BECAUSE JESUS OVERCAME DEATH: HE IS RISEN! THAT IS A TREMENDOUS PRAISE and helped me make it through the day! Col 1:9-20 sermon on how CHRIST Qualifies us! He REDEEMS us: EXTRACTS US FROM BEING A PRISONER, takes us out of Jail! He delivers us from danger and places us in LIGHT, Safety of GOD’s Kingdom! So what you shared resonates with all the themes of what the LORD is showing me and helping me to see! SO NEEDED to hear this. HOPE deferred makes the heart sick …have had lots of hope deferred for lots of years…but the verse does not end there… but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Praying for the DESIRE to COMETH in this 12th month. May Adar… month decreed by enemy for destruction be turned into one that SAVES THE LIVES OF MANY! BY HIS GRACE, HIS SPIRIT, IN CHRIST ALONE, OUR GLORIOUS SAVIOR, our CORNERSTONE! The tree of death (the cross) brought forth the TREE OF LIFE forever for us who believe in God’s dear son and His blood’s covering! He has overcome!

    Thank you again. SPOT ON HELPED ME!!!!

    Believing CHRIST JESUS for His REDEMPTION, Deb

    Melissa says:

    Thanks for the message! I’m praying in agreement that God does something amazing in this 12th month. I’ve been in a very long trial and I am expecting God to turn things around in this 12th month. Promise to share praises when he does!

    2012 was a very tough year for us. I had emergency surgery in late April, and the recovery was sllooooowww. For a while there, I wasn’t sure I was going to get better…. but in October, after 6 months in the valley, the tide started to turn. By Christmas, life was sweet again. I am so thankful for God’s mercies to me.

    I have learned that each day is a gift, not to be squandered. I pray that I live each day to the hilt and not waste one moment.

    Beth, I prayed tonight for your family — for your girls, your husband, your in-laws.

    May this promise in Psalms 65 be alive in your hearts: “You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.”

    Grey says:

    This year has been a challenging for us, also. Last week, after recounting yet again, all of the difficulties we faced this year, God laid it on my heart to stop counting the difficulties and start seeing the blessings. After that revelation, anytime I caught myself saying, “another thing going wrong,” I would stop and think of a blessing, either in the moment or recently. The blessings are innumerable (from the very breath I take to the food we eat, etc.). I don’t want to be the “what have you done for me lately,” child of God. This change of perspective has helped to change my focus from me to Him. Thank you for the reminder that God can use and change ANYTHING!

    Joy French says:

    Beth,

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing that very encouraging word. Our middle son was killed in a car accident this year while traveling from Wheaton to Kansas City to see his bride of 9 months – who was trying out for the women’s pro. soccer team. Needless to say our year has been one of great sadness. We are all doing pretty good, the body of Christ has been incredible in their support, love and encouragement, but I will be so glad to see 2013 go! That was such an encouraging timely message, thank you for really listening to the Lord and being willing to share what you hear with me. I am going to take this message VERY personally! My favorite name of the Lord is REDEEMER!
    Love to you and yours,

    joy french~

    Dear Living Proof,

    I’m not sure if anyone reads replies or has time, whatever the case, here is a testimony from the East-coast. . .

    This year I had the privilege to decorate one of the many trees in our church. Those who know me, know that no matter the size of the task, I will pray over its entirety. The Christmas tree I decorated was entitled, “The Word Became Flesh.” From the enfolding of this wonder-filled task and the feedback I had begun to see the works being used to witness to many. Then, on this Sunday a sweet woman gave me a gift, a cd by Beth Moore and Travis Cottrell. I smiled and thanked her not realizing the bigger gift I would find inside the case of the cd. This morning during quiet time I remembered the cd and opened it up like a child opening her first Christmas gift ever, couldn’t open it fast enough. Upon opening the cd case the action of unwrapping became like that of a frozen ice sculpture, all from my eyes reading Beth’s title, “The Word Became Flesh.” I’m almost certain the cloud of witnesses became quiet in the heavens as the realization of a revelation all the way over to Texas to New Hampshire was confirmed! It was a “it is finished” sound from our Lord.

    Pamela McDonald says:

    Thank you, Beth, for sharing such a timely and encouraging word! This really has been a hard year for our family, but I will leave out the details here.

    Praying for all your family, and trusting in God’s goodness.

    Sonya Polino says:

    Hello Beth! Thank you for your message. I am praying for you! You have brought so much of the Lords grace & love to so many of us I can only imagine the uproar that Satan casts your way. I was thinking of a couple of verses from Psalms 90

    Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! Psalms 90:10, 12, 14, 15, 17

    I have only recently come to know of your teachings through a Law of Love study a couple of months back – but my life has been so enriched by the light that you share within the word!! Thank you for giving all you do! I will continue to pray for your strength, wisdom and protection!

    Obviously, you and I have had very different years. 2013 has been one of the best years of my life. Not because my circumstances are great, but because I have changed so much! 2012 was probably the worst year of my life and I think 2012 had to happen in order for 2013 to be the best ever! I had to hit rock bottom. I do have to say things turned around in the 12th month of 2012 for me. I did hit rock bottom at the start of the 12th month last December and started to get truly sober for the first time since I was 16 years old. I met the best people in that time. I didn’t appreciate them at first, but I learned to. I know that they were only hard on me, because they cared. Now those very people that I couldn’t stand are some of my very best friends. They tell me when I’m going astray and they encourage me when I’m doing well. Those are the marks of true friends. And yes, I relapsed last June, briefly. VERY briefly, thank God, but I jumped right back in, more determined then ever to improve my life and even though I can’t say I’ve been sober the entire year like I’d hoped, it has still been one of the best years of my life. And I’m sure, if I keep doing what I’m doing and what I was taught from the beginning, 2014 will be even better!

    I Greet you Beth in the precious Name of Jesus:

    As I listened to your words, I thought to myself; “I am not alone!” Then as I am reading all the posts, I truly know that I am not alone – for many have found 2013 to be a very difficult year.

    Thank you as always for speaking truth into our lives! I love how the Lord works! As you spoke about the twelfth month to redeem a year – I started to look up how many verses relate to the number 12 (151 Net Bible)! 12 tribes to make Israel – Joshua placed 12 stones in the River Jordan, where they carried the Ark of the Covenant across – 12 Apostles – There were 12 baskets left over after Jesus fed the 5,000 + – Then from each of the 12 tribes; 12,000 are sealed and in the City of God, there are 12 gates, with 12 angels at each gate, and from the river of life which comes from the “Throne of God & of the Lamb is “flowing down the middle of the city’s main street,” will be 12 trees, producing 12 fruits, from each month of the year! May our focus continue to be on Jesus, who already has redeemed the ashes of these past 11 months into joy!

    You are loved ~ Beth Moore ~ prayer for & prayed over =)

    What a great devotional! I was so sad to read of Amanda’s difficult year, on her blog, but I will be praying along with you for a reversal in this 12th month!

    Kami says:

    I share Amanda’s sentiments in the first line of her raw, transparent and beautifully honest blog post about 2013.
    Like her, I am searching for every gift that truly redeems this past year, and I Believe I will find it directly rooted in our Loving, Faithful God. Bring on 2014 LORD!!

    Kathy says:

    OK Beth, you did it again! God and I have been “discussing” why I seem to be blocked from some plans to escape for a few weeks during a very dark season.

    In my prayer time, he seemed to tell me I needed to “feel” fully the last 2 years and fully release (not escape) those feelings to him.

    I have reluctantly accepted that direction. Yesterday he led me to list the progress he has allowed over the last 12 months. I sat down and started listing the progress that has been I believe God directed. Yes very difficult and heart breaking to say the least, however remarkable and miraculous when considered as a whole.

    He seemed to tell me – Get ready for “round two” of my provision. Well, I am ready for God’s great Turn Around this 12th month of the year. Only by the grace of God is it possible to still be in my home town and surrounded by dear friends. Yes, there is still imprisonment that is overwhelming and scary – your video post is “spot on” with how God is directing me- May all of us in Siestaville experience God’s hand turning what Satan meant to destroy us and our loved ones into us getting the “upper hand” and may we see the Goodness of the Lord in the Land of the Living. Amen and blessings to you and yours, dear Beth.

    Cathy S. says:

    2013 has not been an easy year for our household either. Our oldest son lost his job in October of 2012. He has not been able to find a position in his field more than a year later. He does have a job, but it is not something he trained to do nor wants to do as a career. He is grateful to have it though. Our youngest son got married at the end of 2012. His wife’s dad died of brain cancer in September. She dropped out of school to be with him before he died. Her college required her to pay back all the scholarship money she had received. Although, they didn’t have it to spare, God provided $3,600 so that they could do so. Our son found out last week that his work hours are being cut to two days a week. They are grateful that they were able to pay back the money before his pay was cut. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in September. I was diagnosed with MS today. We are grateful for good health insurance and for advances in medicine that will help us live altered, but good lives. We are living by Colossians 3:17, “In all you do and say, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Though I do not know that God will provide restored health and jobs in the next 22 days, I am trying to say, like Pedro Arrupe, a Bishop in Japan who suffered several strokes (as quoted in Ann Lamott’s “Help, Thanks, Wow)” “More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This is what I have wanted all my life, from my youth. But now, there is a difference. The initiative is entirely with God. It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know and feel myself to be totally in God’s Hands.” Perhaps that is the miracle that we have been looking for here at the end of 2013.

    Siesta Mama Beth, I was able to watch this last night, but wasn’t able to comment until this morning, which is good, because it gave me a night to think about what you had to say, and what the Lord had laid on your heart to say to us…I really don’t know what all your family has gone through this year, and how painful and hurtful to your hearts the things you all have been through this year may have been, but I hope that your hearts are encouraged that He is able to redeem this year for you all here in this 12th month. Just growing closer to Him and becoming more like Him in your suffering defeats the enemy’s plans every time…no doubt you all have done that with a crazy year like this year. Hugs, hugs, hugs to you Siesta Mama Beth! I love you too:)

    Michele says:

    Oh, Mama Beth! I am not sure you will ever know (this side of heaven) how much I needed this exact word. I have not even been able to express what it was to the Lord, but knew I needed it. Thank your for being so sensitive and aware. God is so good. I will be praying this month and I am sure of few of my family will start praying too, when I share this with them. We need to end it KNOWING and remembering Who God Is, and not what satan has been doing.

    Thank You. Love You.

    (P.S. I was ‘home’ this weekend taking my monkeys out for a Christmas outing we do every year, and my 11 year old nephew and I were talking and somehow, something we were talking about…your name came up. They know who you are because of the many Bible studies I have gone through “with” you and from the LPM blog and the things I share with them. It was so cute, though, and I thought you’d like to know…when your name came up, my nephew, said, “Oh yeah, Beth Moore, your friend”. I guess because we “talk” through study and the blog ~ He got the idea that we were literal friends, like we knew-KNEW each other and have not just met (which we never have in person) but were FRIENDS. Thought that might make you feel a bit happy :0)

    Shirley says:

    Oh dear Beth, How my heart needed this Word. I have been on the verge of giving up, after my 37 yrs of trial. How I need God to turn it around. I had already prayed over what I desired 2014 to be, for the obstacles to be removed and for God to have top priority and focus over everything else. I cannot tell you how this has resonated with my heart need and prayer. Oh I pray for God to turn it around in the remaining days of this month. Thank you for hearing God’s Word and for sharing it. POWERFUL!!!!!! May God richly bless every lady and turn many things around in each life for His glory. Loving you and many blessings to all of the LP staff and you, Beth…..

    Sheryl Potts says:

    Beth,
    Thank you, again, for being vulnerable enough to share your heart – a gift! I’m praying for you, your family, and Living Proof Ministries. I’ve been blessed beyond measure through your Bible Studies and count it a privilege to lift you up! May your 12th month redemption be so overwhelming filled with the grace of the savior who never leaves or forsakes us! Merry CHRIST-mas!!

    Renee says:

    Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Back in March, the Lord gave me the scripture from 2 Kings to claim for myself, and in the midst of some challenging times, I had completely forgotten about it. My husband is facing surgery tomorrow and that puts us in some financial tension, as he is self-employed, and I could just feel the enemy pressing in on us today. BUT … God used this word to remind me of His promise to me all those months ago, so I can now look forward to seeing what He has in store for us as this year comes to a close. Thank you, sweet Beth, for your sensitive heart to the Lord. Praying your family receives the JOY that it so richly deserves!

    Pam Seipp says:

    Thank you, the words you spoke have been in my heart and on my mind.

    In fact, we had decided not to send out our annual family letter this month as we did not want to focus on tragedy.

    Redirection with the twelfth month “turn-around” study is a blessing.

    Donna says:

    In a year when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, we moved, our home didn’t sell, our new home wasn’t ready when promised and then moved again I was just about ready to write the year off. In the twelfth month….my sweet precious daughter accepted Jesus as her savior and decided to follow through in baptism. What an amazing year 🙂 Praise God!!!

    Thank you, Beth and LPM. This post was perfect to listen to while I have (and still am as I type) vein procedures done on my legs. It was so nice to have my mind focused in the Word. It calmed my nerves. Grateful beyond words.

    Leanne says:

    What a timely and perfect word for me today! I am an avid journaler and just Monday I wrote how I am so ready for this year to be over. “Surely a new year will be more promising than this one. Discouragement and weariness have been my constant companions.”

    I have been slammed over and over and over this year by the enemy. My prayers have been pitiful as I have cried out to the Lord to fight for me. I am a youth minister and have been for 5 years and by far this year has been the hardest. I have flirted with the idea of throwing in the towel more than once as my heart has been broken and trampled upon.

    BUT, I am determined to end this year in praise to my Lord. He has been faithful and even though my circumstances have been hard, my joy and hope is in the Lord. I am desperate for that reversal and turnaround the Beth talked about. I want an increase of joy. I feel a glimmer of it already. Thank you Jesus!

  42. 92
    Sheralyn W. says:

    Beth,

    Thank you. It seems that each year is harder than the next but how I wish this year to end in a victory that outweighs the death of my mother, my best friend abandoning me, and my first relationship ending as quickly as it started- all within the same month and at the ripe age of 19. All topped off with the hurt of broken promises, zero confidence, and a deep need for Jesus. I know that even still, this year can be turned around by brightened heart that knows it is loved. Dear Jesus turn my heart.

    Blessings.

    Kathy says:

    WOW!!! I listened to your video Beth today, Dec. 11th. Earlier in the day I had watched Christine Caine on Life Today, recorded back in October.
    She was teaching on freedom…getting out from behind the prison gate and walking thru to a life of freedom beyond the gate in Jesus.
    She spoke of how we can be delivered from something physically, yet remain in prison mentally/emotionally…playing the victim.
    God revealed to me that I was doing just that…playing the victim! I DID NOT SEE IT UNTIL TODAY!!
    HE did indeed deliver me out of a bad situation, yet I was still wearing my prison clothes!!!
    I asked HIS forgiveness. I knew HE wanted me to be free so HE would get the glory.
    Then on your video, when you read 2 Kings 25, it coincided exactly with being free from prison and REMOVING THE PRISON CLOTHES!!!
    About 2 months ago I believe God showed me that HE was going to bring me into a “good land”. I had no idea what that meant, but now I do!!! HALLELUJIA!!!!

    I hope that many gals will write in with testimonies of how Jesus has indeed redeemed this past year. I look forward to reading all about HIS faithfulness!

    Good Word! Thank you for sharing.. listened to it a couple of times. So good to remember He’s got this. Praying for you that God would turn your year to good. Praying for your family. Praying for my adult children and our family. Praying for my job and our finances that God would do the thing :o). My boss has made going to work a fiery trial… praying for God to turn this around.

    I am asking God for a turn around that is so unbelievably God I will be “slack jawed” with nothing to say but.. Praise Him! May God be praised as we rejoice in what only He can do!

    Micah 7:7 But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

    I was a bit delayed in having a quiet moment to watch, but am so glad the Lord gave me that moment this morning. Thank you for sharing with us. My hubby, in particular, had a rough year and I am going to be praying that in the coming weeks the Lord redeems it and the year ends with my hubby seeing and feeling the goodness and blessing of God.

    Thank you for this, Beth. I watched it Saturday but somehow never commented. Your family has been in my prayers since you first asked. My family has been in intense trials for at least 3 years now, but God is faithful to sustain us in their midst and keep enabling us to put one foot in front of the other day by day. The blessing is that we have no illusions right now that it is His grace holding us up. No illusions that we can handle life on our own.

    I add my prayers to yours, that He would hit us all a walk-off grand slam in this final inning of 2013. I also pray that I, for one, would rest in His timing and count the various trials and siftings to be joy for as long as they last. All praise to Him that an eternal “12th month” is surely coming, with no more tears, death, anguish, or pain. Come soon, Lord Jesus.

    May I just use this opportunity to just praise Him for His love for me. Our Father has shown me He is with me, over and over again. Matter of fact, He has even shown off a lot to just ensure that I know… all because He can! This video tonight after all the blessings and “sightings” of God… just put Words to exactly what He has done. He has redeemed everything that started badly in January 2013. He has actually turned the table! And the best part… He asked me to watch Him “do the thing!” I am so blown away that He does give us the opportunity to scream from the rooftops! Praise You Father!

    This word truly spoke to my heart as well. I went through a long trial for 12 years in total bondage to it and also playing the victim due to an unfulfilled expectation resulting in disappointment. But praise the LORD this year I have had a turn around and a great deliverance because Jesus is faithful to move when you finally turn it all over to him and become obedient to his Word! Can understand now what it means to say, “I know that I went through this trial for my good.”. I grew in the LORD because of it. It’s like you said, we have to take the power out of the hands of the devil and speak the Word to the victory!

    Thank you for this – it has been an amazing but at the same time difficult year. I am looking forward to 2014 and what it has to bring.
