“Brothers, pray for us.” 1 Thess. 5:25

Dear Brothers,

Something happened in the last several months of our Living Proof Live women’s events that we’ve never seen before. Groups of men felt compelled by God to band together and intercede for the women attending the event in their city. The occasions were completely unrelated to one another. We knew God was stirring it up when the lead-out event with a covering of men was in Canada. Not only were we thrilled and grateful for their participation around these events through prayer. We saw remarkable works of God and felt that He’d nodded over the unity and mutual esteem. And, to tell you the truth, just feeling significant to them felt significant. We believe deeply that God honored the way these brothers in Christ honored their sisters. He listened, He approved, and He responded. The willingness of these men to do the work of intercession in our behalf humbled us, blessed us, and brought us a unique joy before God. Esteem is a powerful form of love and it was not lost on us.

This coming Saturday, September 15th, well over 150,000 of your sisters in Christ will gather through a Living Proof Live simulcast for a fresh encounter with God from 9:30 – 4:15 Eastern Standard Time. If God has His unhindered way, this could be a true revival of faith for many women. That’s what I feel He’s purposed for it and called me to specifically request from Him. A goal like that is completely out of human hands. I can’t study hard enough for what I’m asking. We can’t pray long enough or prepare well enough. Our knees are down, our faces are up, and our Bibles are open but what we need is Heaven wide-open and grace spilled down in a drenching flood. We want God to reveal Himself in a way we can’t ignore or recover from the next week.

Recently my eyes fell on a little 4-word verse (in the ESV) at the conclusion of the First Letter to the Thessalonians: Brothers, pray for us. I stared and stared at it and thought, sometimes you just up and ask for it. And that’s what your sisters are doing right now. Based on what we’ve already seen God initiating in the hearts of men these last few months, would you graciously commit to pray for us on Saturday? Or even right now toward Saturday? We’re not asking you to do anything particularly formal or in groups. We’re just asking as many brothers as possible to pray on their own for a large group of sisters meeting in the name of Christ and the Word of God. By all means, we want the prayers of many husbands of participants but we’re really asking for something broader. We’re asking for brothers to pray for sisters they may never meet. We’re asking you to pray for a harvest that you may personally never see.

We’re asking for some young men to pray and some old men to pray. We’re asking for some single men to pray, some husbands to pray and some widowers to pray. We’re asking some student ministers to pray and some senior pastors to pray. If some of you happen to feel led to go the extra mile and fast through lunch on Saturday in order to be more focused in prayer, who are we to argue? We’ll receive it! There are no rules or restraints on the process. Just do it however God leads in the name of Christ.

If you’re willing, we’d be tremendously encouraged if you’d give us an idea of the of support system we have among you by leaving a brief comment to this post. All we’d request is your name and your city. It could be as simple as this:

Keith Moore in Houston, Texas.

If you’re a pastor or you serve at a church or in a ministry, we’d also love to know where.

If you’re not that enthusiastic about signing on the dotted line here through a comment, no worries! Just pray!

We don’t just want your prayers. We need them. So many women out there feel like they’re drowning in an ocean of demands or evaporating in a desert. They need courage and encouragement. Lord, have mercy, I do, too. This is no culture for Christian cowards. You certainly know that.

Please fight for us.

We will gladly repay this debt of love and pray for you.

Thank you so much, gentlemen. Believe God for us and may God backwash immense blessing right over you. By the way, the main host site for this Saturday’s gathering is in Reading, Pennsylvania…at The Sovereign Center. Yep. We’ll take that.

“He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords…To Him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.”

In His unfathomable love,

Beth

We are crying out to Him, “Please save our nation, restore it back to where we Americans put you first in our lives. You Father, Abba, Prince Of Peace are our first love. Please forgive us for all the baals in our lives. We need you, Lord. Come Holy Spirit! Fill us Holy Spirit! Open our hearts and eyes so we can receive you, all of you. Cleanse us, Lord. Cover us with your blood, The Blood of Christ. I pray a very special blessing on Beth, Lord. Anoint her for Saturday, protect her from the enemy. Just allow your Spirit to work in her. Thank you for her life Lord and her obedience to you. Thank you, Jesus! In His Precious Holy Name, Stephanie Solomon

    Beth, my 17yr old son Dustin said he will pray for you and your crew. It touched me he was interested when I mentioned about it. He was worried he would forget by saterday so he told me he spoke with God about it. He asked me if the women were also praying for the men…smile.

    Dear Beth and all my sisters,
    How I would love to be with you in Reading PA this weekend. I wanted so badly to go to the LPL in Knoxville this past August and no one else could or would go. Then I thought of a friend that I had in Harrisburg PA that would live to go but now I have no one to watch my 88 yr old dad.
    I feel very blessed to have gone to two LPL conferences and they really lifted me up and inspired me to press on in this exciting journey thru life with Jesus.
    I will be praying that many will come to know HIM and be compelled to follow him in a daily walk that will lead them to the truest joy known on earth.
    Bless you Beth for allowing God to use you . It has and does inspire me to listen and hear his voice thru His WORD. May GOD’S spirit rain down on all of you !
    In HIS LOVE,
    Mary Ellen Ray. Wayne,WV

    I will pray starting today. Today is my 9th year wedding anniversary, and I reflect on how when we first got married we prayed separately and maybe a few times a week. 9 years later we pray every night, together holding hands, separately each morning in our personal quiet time and the together with our boys before we leave the house. I totally believe in the power of prayer, and the seriousness of this movement.

    Lord I pray for courage for the women who are seeking you. There is something in our path ahead that you have planned, and it is my heart mind and soul’s desire to see you exalted. 2 Chron 7:14 is pressing on my heart for these Jesus followers. You must become greater, we must become less. Please lead us Holy Spirit, teach us, keep us all in line with your plan, the only plan that matters.

    My husband & I are co-Ministers of Education @ FBC-Madisonville, KY. We escorted a group of women recently to the Knoxville, TN LPL. We were overwhelmed by His mighty presence at this event. We were stunned to find 4,000+ men in the Knoxville area had prayed for the event prior to our arrival…true evidence of the power of prayer! We will be praying this Saturday.
    P.S. Plus, we were one of the groups that were blessed to meet you at Calhoun’s on the River after the conference. Thank you so much for coming back and meeting our group of ladies. We were blessed!

    Ladies,

    The book of Genesis tells us that God created you as mans compliment. My wife is definately my compliment. She is also the wens ministry director at my church where I serve as the youth director. I pray for strength and success for her everyday and will begin to pray this same prayer for you wonderful ladies as well.

    Father I ask for you to watch over these ladies as they gather in Your name to worship You and glorify You. Your word tells us that when we call on you that you will answer and because of that we will honor You. These ladies are honoring you so I ask that you cover them with blessings and love. Everything they are doin is to bring Glory to Your name an that is what they are commanded to do. Please convict those who might stand against this and provide this event and ladies with your protection because they are your children Lord. I ask these things in your sons name. Amen.

    Dear Living Proof…
    When I was in my quiet time this morning, God put it on my heart to pray earnestly for you and your team as you share in His sweet and powerful Word. I believe God will be moving with Holy Spirit fire and everyone who hungers for a Word will be fed! I pray Acts 2:1-2 for all in attendance and protection for you in heart, mind and soul as you worship and speak in the precious name of Jesus. His work is finished, the enemy has been conquered and any plan the enemy may have to interfere with God’s plan will be thwarted. He is surely calling the Body of Christ to come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Our country is in great need…the people are in great need and there is nothing our God cannot do for those who love Him! God Bless all of you. Thank you dearly for sharing your heart for God. I so enjoy listening to Beth Moore on my radio station here in N Ga (Victory 91.5) and all the Bible Studies I have been powerfully blessed by. I am a grateful sister in Christ! much love in Jesus….

    Kris says:

    Beth …I will never forget the bible study we did by you, not sure which one, where you told the story of you and Keith riding on the snowmobile and how the Lord showed you about you being protected by your husband. You looked straight at your video
    audience and assured us that Keith was praying for all of us whose husbands did not. I have never forgotten that and have often thanked the Lord, knowing that even though my husband may not be, I know of one man of God who is praying for me…tell him thanks, will you? And keep on praying!!

    Don Perry says:

    My wife Terri has been a faithful fan of Beth for quite a few years. As far as I know, she has purchased everything Beth has ever released. (My wallet feels the pain, believe me:) But,her spiritual growth from countless hours spent in God’s word (and Beth’s studies) has been nothing short of amazing. And,each one of those studies has been loaned out so often I don’t know how Terri keeps track of them.

    Then we have the Beth Moore conferences. Hmmm. How many? I can’t count them all! But, always a blessing!! And I am so excited for Terri that she can be at another one. My prayers are with her, Beth and everyone that attends–for a wonderful time of fellowship and even more profound spiritual growth!

    Dear Beth and Living Proof Ministries team, thank you so much for the great opportunity to have the conference in Moldova, Eastern Europe today, September 15, 2012. Just got back from the conference – Jesus, the One and Only – held by Paulette, and her team from Romania and the USA. The Holy Spirit brought through these wonderful women a refreshment for my soul and an encouragement in the ministry with the women in my church. Thank you for the materials provided for the women here and for all the support that you and the Beautiful Gate Translations give for God’s glory and His Kingdom. Blessings!

    Houston, TX

    You are all so dearly loved by me. I want you to know that I follow you regularly but not always on your time frame. I am still teaching the Kelly Minter series on Nehemiah to my workplace Bible study. The girls were just wanting to camp and we do the study at lunch and people forget their books or didn’t read the lesson – so we are going through one day each week. Everyone has been totally blessed and it was so wonderful for you to open us up to this new writer of Bible Studies. We are loving it.

    I have been blessed beyond belief by your ministry always.

    Love,
    Your sister (or Sista) Deborah 🙂
