Simulcast
We had an incredible day! Thank you so much for praying! I'm leaving for our Saturday night church service soon, but I wanted to give you all a place to leave your impressions from the simulcast. What was one thing the Lord said to you?
I'm anticipating a spell of higher traffic on our web site and the blog after such a large event, so brief comments might be best for a few days. Thanks, y'all! I can't wait to hear about your time.

Just got home from the simulcast. WOW! What a message. I am ready to do whatever it takes to get out of this pit.
Here in Abilene, TX it is WINDY! The 60 mile pr/hr wind has turned our air into red dirt and our big Texas hair into...well, we'll just say it was not pretty. We lost one satellite but thankfully there was another one that was on the side of the building that was shielded from the wind. After some shuffling around and rigging some long cables, we were connected and did not miss any of the broadcast. It was truly a miracle!
Thank you Beth and family, LPM staff, and Worship team for a beautiful day! Travis and singers were wonderful. Boy can they sing!
I got chills from head to toe when we ended singing together. I could see thousands of women (and men) singing "How Great Though Art" all over the US/Canada as one voice. I know the angels were singing with us in a heavenly accompaniment!

Drop what you are doing, sisters, get to your feet, and let's give our Great and Mighty God a STANDING OVATION! Not only did He show up, He showed Himself Mighty to Deliver. Oh, did I mention that the simulcast site I attended was located at my home in my prayer closet. God connected me with all of you. I'd love to share, but I'm trying to keep this brief.
Love to all of you,
Patti
Hi Amanda!
Just returned from the Simulcast in PA. Once again we were all blessed beyond what we could have imagined.
I realized today that I have one of each of the pits and have been spending time in each of them! But no more!!! I have decided that with the power of my Savior, I'm closing them down. I know it will take some time but I will continually reach for His waiting hand - I will not give up! Praise God!
May God bless you and your family as well as the entire lproof team!
To Him be the Glory!

God showed up in the back row on the left side in Irving. "We are not looking for relief but release.” I believe God released His spirit over us. The music so brought God to me. And Beth, you were Psalm 81:10—you opened your mouth & God filled it with Himself. When you ended with “you mean the world to Jesus,” my tears began to flow as you spoke Zeph 3:19--He gathers me in His strong arms and He delights in me. Beth, you gave me so much courage as I have struggled immensely with horrific sexual abuse memories that have just surfaced. You were a letter from God to me.
I am still reeling ... what a WOW moment for me today as a simulcast participant. It was as if the light bulb came on and there was such clarity!
God Bless You Beth & Praise Team Members ... Thank You For Showing Me How To Take The First Step Out Of My Pit Today!!!!
Thank you! Thank you for being so very honest with us. Thank you for loving us enough to bring us with you out of the pit. Beth my favorite thing about you is that you are honest and real. You don't put on airs or pretend that you have it all figured out, but when you discover the truth, you want us to know it too so we won't be left behind. Bless you!
Astounding, amazing, profound, thought provoking, life changing...I can't put it into words that do it justice.
I think what God really wants me to sit with is Psalm 18:19. He rescues me...not because He has to, not because He wants me to stop whining, not because He's tired of seeing me drown in my self created flood....He rescues me because He Delights In ME.
That, if I let it permeate my heart, is life altering.
I loved the simulcast! I could only sing part of the 1st worship song and cried through all the rest. God so made my heart tender and ready for Him (no doubt from my desperate cry of help recently). I am so ready to cooperate with Him to get out of my "pits". I'm at the place (thanks be to God)that I'm too miserable to continue being miserable - for my sake and my sweet families sake.

Just came from hearing Beth here in Tyler. WOW is the word I will say. Simply amazing. I feel so blessed to have heard His word spoken from such a uplifting warrior of His.
One of the sweetest times was at the very end (You attending the simulcast did not get this experience I am sorry). Travis led us in worship and God's spirit was so so sweet you could taste it!!
Thanks Beth for pouring out your heart.
All my prayers to you
I was watching in Boone, NC. We had an AWESOME time in the Lord.
The whole event was heavily anointed. The praise and worship, speaking times, everything.
I officially want to have lunch with Beth and all the girls on the praise team!
Greeting from FL simulcast. One thing? The challenge of a call to courage. I came home and dug up a card from my childhood with Jesus' photo titled HAVE COURAGE, it ends with this verse: "Be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart" Psalm 27:14
Stepping out of the pit takes courage. And it takes courage to just keep walking away. Thanks Beth.
By the way- in a beach community in FL - humidity and hair... well let's just say flat hair is OK 'round here.
Even at a simulcast site I could feel the Holy Spirit in the room. The most lasting impression I have is that God has reached down, taken hold and lifted me up. But what was most important to know was that I extend my WEAKNESSES to him - I don't have to hide or compensate for them because God wants to lift us from our weakness to His glorious place of strength.
Just wanted to say thank you Beth (and by the way Amanda you are as sweet and precious as your moma describes you) but God used you both in a mighty way today. You encouraged us to minister to one another during lunch so I mustered up the courage to open my mouth and take off my veil. I am not sure yet why God told me to tell my story of being delivered but he did and I did. This is something I could not have dreamed of doing before. I was in a pit of addiction just 3 months ago. I was getting high everyday just to get through the day. Yet in the middle of my sin (mind you, I didn't even ask God for His help--He just came and got me) our Mighty Lord who is gracious and loving beyond words delivered me from that life and family destroying pit. Praise His Name! I am also living proof that our God delivers and boy am I on fire now to help other women see that Yes, we are God's delight! He loves us and removes that guilt and condemnation no matter how ugly the sin.
Beth and daughters, thank you for keeping it real!! The Lord showed up in Irving today for sure!
Raining here in St. Louis today so lot's of flat hair! WOW! What an awesome God. I need time just to process the day. Relief not release! I just want to praise God that my husband was so willing to take over the kids and the house today. What a blessing! Thank you all so much! The music at the end was just icing on the cake. What an awesome feeling to be in a room with 700 hundred other women and know that around the country others were praising in the same way at the same time. Thank you thank you thank you!
I don't know how to properly express my experience at the Simulcast gathering today in our little corner of the Midwest. It was so amazing for me to know my mum, almost 700 miles away in Ontario, Canada was 'attending' with me! What a blessing! We always say it is a small small world in the hands of a big big God! It was a joy to take part in the worship and to hear the Word of God spoken through you, Beth. Thank you!
I was not able to attend the simulcast. I prayed for you and the entire team, Beth, that God would speak through you in a mighty way. From the posted comments, it is clear to see those prayers were answered. When the storms were ripping through the mid section of the country I prayed that the simulcast would not have any technical difficulties.
Thank you Lord for revealing Your glory and love today to so many hungry people.
Thanks to Beth, Travis and company and to everyone who worked so hard to make the day a success.
Amanda, thank you for keeping us connected.
Love to all in Christ!
I just love how passionate your mom is and how she has to move all the time. She just can't stay still even when she's looking for a scripture verse. I think it's just so cute.
What I got most out of it was the action verbs from Ps.18:16-17 (I used the NASB so here are the words it uses. God sent - God took - God drew me out - God delivered me. He can't just send for us, He needs to reach down, then draw us out, but when He draws us out we need to let Him DELIVER us so that we don't go back in. I thought that was AWESOME!
Just got home from the simulcast in Wa state. Many of us braved some snow to hear from the Lord today and we were truly blessed. Thank you to all who put time and energy into bringing us God's words for His people. May my life so serve Him that His glory shines all the time.
Delivered and rescued from my many pits TODAY from Largo, Flordia! All glory to God! Thank you Beth for having the courage to be transparent and giving everything you've got for the sake of the LORD's Kingdom! I have already been tempted to jump back in, but the LORD is instructing my every step and praise Him I can hear every word AND obeying it! Jesus rolled the stones over my pits, never for me to dwell there again. I can't wait to see how He will glorify Himself through me! The Worship Team was incredible. All 400 women from our lil' area (representing many denomonations) sang with all our heart along with you and the angels in glory. God bless you LPM. Sista Shelly
I coordinated a group from our church in Connecticut to attend the simulcast in Brewster, NY and all I can say is WOW!!! I could only imagine what heaven looked like when the Lord saw 150,000 women and men in Praise and Worship to Him and studying the same thing at the same time. It is awesome and I want to say thank you Beth for allowing the Lord Jesus Christ to speak through you today. It is awesome to know that He loves me so much that he doesn't want me to stay in my pit but to deliver me and rescue me! I moved from Houston, TX in 1999 and by the way attended FBC and met my wonderful husband Mark there in the singles group while I was Steve Seelig's assistant and we both miss Houston very much but the Lord called us to New England to New Milford CT. We have had a wonderful opportunity to bring your Bible Studies to the ladies of the church and they just love them! Thank you for staying true to the Word of God and sharing with us!
Allison H. in New Milford, CT
I couldn't be there - but, sistas, know I was praying mightily for you all throughout the day! We praise Him for His MIGHTY deliverance.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
I LOVED today - and was challenged to "grow up & get out of a hole before it deepens into pit." I'm thanking God for giving me a holy fear of where I don't want to go. And I shed tears of gratitude for the pits He has helped me escape or avoid so far.
When I met the woman next to me, we found we are both named Beth. We're both brunettes - (but hers looked natural ;) and we talked about how a Beth Moore Bible Study really hits you between the eyes when she includes her name in the "quotes" of what God is saying to her.
Thank you - everyone at LPM - for bringing us "quotes" from God today.
I have to say that my first comment was also WOW!!!! It was a crisp and clear day in Lancaster, CA and we welcome the warmth of the santuary!!! At first there was static when the telecast started and I asked the LORD if was in HIS will to provide a clear channel to please allow it. Boy, HE sure came through for us!
Beth, I personally want to thank you for your honest and profound message!! I bought your book a few days ago, and I am almost through with it and your presentation complimented what I have read. Although I want to say that I want to drink it in deeply and, of course, that takes time.
To answer the question, the LORD spoke to me that situations of calamity are really days for deliverance. We should desire a comprehensively intimate relationship with OUR FATHER.
The whole Worship team did an outstanding job. I really loved the music selections- it was a good blend of different ones.
I could feel GOD's hand on this very special day.
I was profound that all of us were together for this 5 1/2 hours sharing this special time!
Pamela
Wow! What a tremedous blessing this simulcast was!!! I just want to say thanks to Beth, Living Proof Ministries, Travis and the Praise Team and everyone else that worked so hard for this simulcast to be as wonderful as it was. I do not have the words to describe how I was challenged, inspired and blessed by the Word from Beth and blessed by the music from Travis and the Praise Team.
God Bless you all!!!
Karen
My favorite part today - "Deliverance in Christ is contagious!" (Ps. 40:1-3). What a challenge! I know I need to get serious about living out my "deliverance story" to everyone God puts in my path.
I just keep thinking about how important it will be to continue praying for every person who heard the Lord's message today. I'm thinking that Satan will be on the prowl big-time, trying to discourage women from believing the truth about God's very personal offer of deliverance to us. Let's lift up in prayer each of our sistas and make this one really bad day for that ugly devil!!
The simulcast was awesome~ just what I needed to hear at this point in my life. There are so many thoughts, feelings & emotions that I came away with today that it is hard to pick just one to comment on. God's Word truly spoke to me when Beth quoted Psalm 73: 13-15. "I can't tell anyone what I am going through or I will betray your chidren." I have felt so lost & hopeless lately. God is the only one I have poured my heart out to. Today I realized that He is enough, I need no one else to share these feelings with. God understands. He has reached down His right hand to bring me safely from this pit. I am hanging on!!
In His awesome love, Kelly
Praise God--He is so worthy! My soul needed the fellowship of my sistas to praise His name out have His Word spoken over me. My husband is deployed and we have a 2 yr old daughter. She's so sensitive right now I can't leave her. So I took her with me. Don't you know she remembered Psalm 134 and was lifting up her holy hands in the sanctuary. She clapped and gave God her sweet little praise. Oh how my heart was moved. God is so incredible. I am ready to permanently vacate my pits and live by the power of Christ in me--and stay on my knees that my daughter will KNOW the redeeming power of her Creator. My soul just gushes forth praise right now and I am so excited to live in victory!
What an awesome event! God really showed up in Chapin, SC! This was truly release and not just relief. What touched me was the reality that God delights in ME! Travis and team were GREAT! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put this event on. Thanks to Nancy for standing in the gap for us. Tears flowed!
I was so blessed.This was my third simulcast and it was amazing. I took my mom and she loved it also. I wish I could back up time and hog tie all my girls so they would have had to be there. Sometimes you have to go even when you don't feel like it. I guess it all boils down to how much you want to be free. Call me a "Beth Moore wanna be" and I'll say, "yes, I I "wanna be" free just like her".
Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you to speak to me today. I needed to hear the Word about being released from grief, and all of the added responsibilities/pressures that come with it. I needed to be reminded that my God is bigger than those things. You see, my Mom died from cancer on Dec. 17th just 5 days after we found out her cancer had returned. Three days later, they discovered a mass on my husband's liver. On Jan. 4th we found out that he indeed had cancer. He died Jan. 26th. I am now an "orphan", a widow, and a single mother of 3 children (12, 5 and 2) at only age 39. Just this week, I felt almost as if I were being crushed by the weight of all the pressure stemming from the added responsibiities financially, physically, mentally, and spiritually. So, as you said, I have been thrown in a mighty big pit. But, you reminded me that my God is even bigger! During the prayer time, I was able to give all of that over to the Lord, and take on His yoke instead. Thank you for bringing His Word for me today!
Blessings!
Terri in Madison, AL
Praise God from NC!!! What an incredible day!
The most meaningful thing for me today is that the Lord of our Universe and Creator of all things delights in me....
I thank God for you Beth, for being obedient and humble before God and 150,000+ women...
I prayed today...though, my hair was flat. Do you think that's ok? Hee hee! How about if it was done in humility to pray? Love you guys! So thankful for what God is going to work through each heart! Praise Him! Isn't He SO good??

It is for freedom that Christ has set me free!
He delights in me!
The tombstone has been rolled over my pit and I am SEALED for Him!
Praise be to our Living, Merciful, Lavish God!
In Him,

WOW!!! First of all, I had to dig my way to my car with the snowblower through 5-6 inches of snow. So much for the hair do-hehe
When I lived in Houston prior to June 2004, I belonged to the LPM volunteer prayer team for Beth's Tues. nt. studies. About 30 people would generally be going into the sanctuary to people who pray over the seats. So, I sent an email to the coordinator of this host site (not my home church) and was called and invited to join their "team".
However, when I got there, I was the only prayer team people who was there, as they apparently had never used this practice of prayer before. So I went ahead and prayed over the sanctuary by myself, but it was great. I could just feel Him making His Presence known there already! I was whisper reading the song, "Holy Spirit, Come and Fill This Place" and peace just washed over me almost immediately.
Then later on, I went up to help out with "invitation time". I only spoke to one dear lady, but we spoke and prayed for almost the entire 30 minute break. She was already a child of God, but seemed to be in some sort of deep bondage. By the time we were finished, she had tears streaming down her face and was ready to reach out to Jesus and was willing to have the Lord help her get "out of the pit" of unforgiveness. It was pretty intense.
I was very blessed by the rest of the broadcast, too! I ended up grabbing a second listening guide at lunch time, as I had used up the first two pages with notes already. =)

It was so neat that you made it personal to each one of us -- to listen to what God said to our own hearts, not just thinking the message was for someone we brought.
How awesome about God doing ministry when He puts those who are in the pit with those who have been delivered! So true! God redeems the pain we have walked when He uses it to reach out to someone else on such a deeper level.
It was a beautiful day of worship and just soaking up every word as God spoke through you. Thank you for your prayers, faithfulness, and sacrifice. God blesses!!
I attended the simulcast with a few friends and we were all so blessed. I very much appreciate Beth's heart and humble spirit. I am so excited to allow God's hand to pull me out of the pit and stay out!! I also felt like the Spirit nudged me to buy the book to give to a neighbor who lost her brother to suicide last week. I will be praying that God uses it to minister in her life.
We had BIG wind here in Greeley, Colorado too. The first 15 minutes were full of static and hard to hear the worship, but it cleared up by the time Beth came on to speak! Praise God!
Blessings!
Dear Beth, I just want to say thank you for being so faithful to your fellow sistas. You really put yourself out there for all us because you really care about all our scrawny necks! Your love for us is real I just don't feel it I KNOW IT and your earings ($15.95) are fake just makes me love you bunches. Girlfriend your demonstration of our loving Lord reaching down in my pit with his strong right arm and me reaching up with my weak left arm will forever be with me. Thank you Beth. Now to you I want to say you stay away from the pit. We know it's not about books or anything one would misconstrue. You are a writer and oh how this world needs what the Lord has layed on your heart to share. Your gift of communication blesses us so much.
Thanks to Travis and the praise team he also speaks so well always pricking our heart with praise and worship. I am in awe of all of your wonderful, wonderful voices.
I'm from Michigan and we so have been touched by y'all :) two weekends in a row! It's just not going to be the same around here next weekend. Many blessings.
Psalms 18:16
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes who were too strong for me.

Dear Precious Beth: Release not relief! Thank you, thank you for your indescrible conviction to get the message across to us that we are meant to be free!! I'm overwhelmed and numb at the same time. More passionately than I have ever witnessed I know you cried the heart of God over each one of us today. I heard HIM!! I believe HIM!! I LOVE HIM!! Thank you too to the Worship team, the music was beyond beautiful. I pray rest, joy, health and safety for you all. It was wonderful having you in E-Texas. Thank you for coming over to the chapel. You are so sweet and The Real Deal. We made eye contact but I couldn't get a hug in, maybe next time. May His Grace be poured out to you and your precious family beyond measure.
Goose bumps, tears, arms raised to be pulled out of the pit and hugged.
CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO. GREET. YOU. IN. PROVIDENCE. IN. AUGUST!
You'll know me 'cause I'll be the only one there who knows where Arkadelphia is. = )
Stephanie in Rhode Island
Thank you. It was a relief to know that not all pits are ones we choose. Our family has been thrown in one. But no matter the cause, the Deliverer is able and willing to reach down with His strong right arm to get us up out of there. Our God is good.
I'm so excited to share all my notes with my hubby!!! He has just been rescued from a 25 year pit this year. He even learned the stone has been rolled on top, so he can't go back! Everything you said touched my heart so deeply!! I'm so grateful you are willing to share your story for the sake of kindgdom work. I'm praying with you for the million from all the ripple effects.
Please pray too because a friend of ours is in such a pit that he is believing he is just too far gone and cannot be delivered from his addiction. He is so very broken, feels unlovable, and is giving up. He is separated from his wife and two kids. Today is their 17th wedding anniversary.
Thank you Lord for meeting with all 150,000 of us! Thank you Beth for being obedient! Thank you Travis and Praise team for opening the gates of Heaven! I can't think of any other way to spend a Saturday than what we all did today! Former Pit dwellers-stand and give the Lord praise! The great state of Ohio has been uplifted today!
I have so much to process from today...still simmering but i will say this I AM LIFTING MY LEFT ARM my weak arm to the One who truly sees me..and I got it today that God delights and me...and if i am having trouble with some of this it might be an authority problem and that there can be mini pits and that the enemy NEVER INTENDED FOR IT TO GET THIS FAR WITH ME! so good Beth..and love those shoes girl!
I'm believing God to keep my pit covered with the stone He rolled away from The Tomb ! Praise you God for your awesome power ! I do not want to get back in a pit !
Thank you Beth Amanda and Living Proof staff for praying and fasting,
God was so awesome, I felt anointed from head to toe, in and out.
One thing God poured into me at the simulcast was to stay away from the pit my loved ones and family are in. I was in it too. As soon as I got home I received a phone call, an invitation to join her in the pit!
Hello! Right when I got home!!! But God is AWESOME! Thank you Beth for encouraging me to hold onto His Right Hand!!!
He REACHES DOWN...
TAKES HOLD OF US...
"MOSES'es US...
AND RESCUES US...
SAFELY TO A FIRM PLACE TO STAND!!
(Tried to be brief, but I took 7 pages of notes -- 7 pages!!! Blown away is the best way to put it!!!)
I'm writing you from Lexington,Ky!!! I just loved at the end Beth when you told me that rejoicing means to "spin around!" So just like a little kid I went home and I've been spinning around in circles till I've made myself sick! ( I even pulled my car over in an empty parking lot and did doughnuts while listening to my praise music in my car)!!! Thank you Jesus! There truly "ain't no high like the most high!" I am gonna spin my way out of that pit Beth....I am!!! And the world better watch out....cause I'm brining the glory of God with me!!
I went to the simulcast in Georgia today and it was more than I could of hoped for. I almost backed out this morning because my dauhgter was not feeling well and my husband insisted that I go. I am so glad that I did. Thank you Beth and Travis for your uplifting message and the many blessings that were happening across the country today.
I just got home from Tyler. AMAZING!!! God was moving in that place!
Today was my first exposure to Beth's ministry. A woman from the church invited me to come along. When I heard the topic, I knew it was where God needed me to be!
I've experience being delivered from the pit in the past, but in the last several years circumstances have pushed me back into the pit. I needed to be reminded of the truths of God's promises.
Well, as of today, I'm OUT! I'm FREE! I'm released! Now I am standing in the gap for my husband's release.
To God be the Glory!
Thank you Beth for being a humble servant and choosing to be used by the Lord.
God bless.
We left the Simulcast in an ice storm--Yuck! But,awesome is still all I can say. I think one of the statements I will not forget was when Beth was talking about reltaionships in churches and said "your pit may have a steeple". I have worked in the church for many years and can get bogged down and focused on some of the junk that is inevitable when you deal with people. I'll not leave my church, of course--but I am NOT going back in that pit! Thanks Beth--God spoke through you in a mighty way and worship was AWESOME!
Terry in Illinois
Claim, claim , claim the scriptures , then with the Lord's awesome power live them out ladies !!! (and men - oh i so wish the men would be in on beth moore too - with her contagious passion and love of the Lord and His Word.) I so want to share her with them just like she wants to share what the Lord has done for her with others and just can;t hold it to herself. !! Awesome day - I prayed the Lord to show His victorious power over satan and He indeed did - of course ! I can just imagine the warfare in the spiritual heavenlies. ! Beth Moore's passion for His Word has helped me study the Scriptures with a new desire and depth like never before - is truly each time the very breath of God speaking to me personally . And I am now claiming scriptures in prayer, it is awesome. ! Thank you Beth for being His vessel as He would have all of us do. Amen and Amen !!
I participated today from Winchester, Virginia and was completely blessed in many many ways. Thanks for all you do....
It is hard to put into words but God was AMAZING!! There were so many things that spoke to me but I loved how Beth said that deliverance in Christ is contagious. Beth talked about the meaning of I cried, it was a cry of anquish, the cry of those approaching the breaking point, or the "ugly" cry or I howled unto God. My heart was burdened for an older lady at our location who at break truly howled unto God. A group gathered around her and prayed over her for a long time. I will never forget this lady. I was so glad Beth taught on crying unto God, it gave a freedom to the women to cry out today!!! God delivers us because he delights in us! The singing in our sanctuary was beautiful. It sounded like one voice lifting praises to God. I stopped and just listened. I stand in awe of our great BIG God!
Love,
Patty
i prayed so hard for you freshly rooted, deliciously ditzy ladies! i love you so much!!
was the blessed event taped so that those of us unable to make it can still see it/purchase it?!?!?!
(who plans a teaching conference for college students at 8:00am on a saturday!! don't they know we got sistas to support, pits to get out of, and WORD to learn?!?!...oh my, i bet they have dark roots too...)
My mom was at the simulcast and called me to tell me about it... she couldn't get through it without crying... she was truly blessed as well as all the other women from her church...
Went to the simulcast in Bryan, TX. Wow, wow, wow. The one thing that keeps resonating with me is this: Do I just want to be delivered and left to return to my pit, or do I want to be delivered and set on the ROCK? No more dangling my muddy feet over the pit.
Oh, and I must say that I loved that Travis had us sing "Annie's Song" to the Lord. That was beautiful.
Amanda, I just had to say that I LOVE the new look of the blog! It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Great job!
In Him,

WoW!!! What an amazing day full of life transforming truths. Words cannot begin to express the depth of all that I experienced alongside my sisters in Christ. I KNOW that God was in this thing today. I felt HIS AMAZING PRESENCE from the beginning to the end. The worship was alive with HIS spirit and I so appreciate the humility and heart of the team. Beth, You are an amazing servant of our Heavenly Father. Your humility, honesty and transparency comes shining through and God has done what he said he would do. He uses us for His glory if only we will have the courage to submit ourselves to him. Thank you for being HIS vessel today. I finally understood the difference between believing and knowing God's love and truth is for me. I can believe it all day long for everyone else but truly struggled with knowing His promises and truths were for me, because He delights in me. WOW. I am so grateful for the heart and passion that you have for God and the truth of His Word. I am blessed beyond measure and am filled up to overflowing with God's love and delight in ME and I can't wait to get out there and encourage others to get OUT OF THAT PIT!!!
May the JOY of our Father fill your heart today!
Love Bonnie in Idaho
I was blown away today ! Not by the wind outside but by the Breath of God!! The Holy Spirit was definitely present! Thank you Elizabeth for allowing God to use you in touching so many lives in such an awesome way! Nancy in Alabama
I can not believe that as I sat in the pew today realizing the pits I have found myself in-some delivered, some in the process ... it was/is through my circumstances and not inspite of them that He delivers me. Just by definition it makes more sense that way! I was blown away at the intensity of the emotion ... I am still completely unable to even imagine myself able to give in to display my anguish before the thrown(too many years of burying the feeling and fearing that my emotion would betray me) but am acutely aware that as we are always a work in progress ... God has shown up and done a hundred things that I could have never imagined Him doing before they were done! Everyday I will remind myself that He delights in me ... and the picture of how I delight in my own son will be my reminder, knowing that He is the perfect parent and my love, no matter how great in my own eyes, pales in comparison!
Thank you for being splayed before us ... you told us today that healing is contagious ... and like hundreds of other women I caught it from you ... 10 years ago I didn't know another woman who had been molested other than me. And now the words do not consume me. Thank you for being candid ... for obeying God and for not just believing in God but honestly believing HIM! My strong tower!
We were so blessed out here in California. How does devine deliverance takes place? He reached down and takes hold, draws out and rescues me. I can't wait to open up Psalm 18 with the new insight! Thank You Beth ! You looked darling!
WOW! I was at the conference in tyler and GOD was there. What an awesome time Beth you are a beautiful women of God and I thank God for you testimony, and what he has done in your life. I love your passion. started climing out of my pits today Praise the Lord!!!

Oh, Praise God! Just finally got in from Simulcast in Wentzville, MO. Awesome day with Miracles and Blessings. Just couldn't wait to tell you about the storm that temporarily broke our connection during the Singing prior to the Third Session. In the middle of Awesome God... no feed. First came a moan of utter desperation and sadness.. Then all over our sanctuary came the voices... singing how our God was an awesome god.... then the booming of loud thunder!!! To tell us, yes he was! And then more singing... a few stops and sad looks.. then more singing... Then THERE IT WAS... and we were almost in the same place as you with our song! I couldn't wait to tell you about this. What a day... Thank you and Praise God!
Oh the Lord romanced me today! Can you believe that!!! He gave me a diamond today, out of the blue... Travis bringing Annie's song to worship EL ELyon, just made me bawl, because that's been a forgotten favorite song of mine for a long time (had it in my wedding) and today my God gives it back to me to worship Him with! He just astounds me! Thank Him for all of you!
Totally loved the simulcast! It was my first Beth event and was so blessed by His word spoken through your mama! Praise Jesus for being so real and so mighty. I am counting on his mighty hand to pull me up. And I want to stand firm on Him MY rock!

Beth, you are so contagious! Nine of us did our spinning in the parking lot - Mechanicsville, VA! I am a delivered and I want that for my friends more than anything. I don't think I'll ever forget: reach down, take hold, draw out AND rescue!
I attended the simulcast in Lubbock and I think our wind was-well it was windy. If Beth thinks that humidity is hard on your hair-try a good ole West Texas wind storm. Our sound was not as good as I would have wanted-but lets be perfectly honest-there is nothing like in person Beth and in person worship. One (of many) profound things the Lord spoke though Beth today was Speak what scripture says you are until you feel that way(and that is paraphrased). Lots of other good stuff also. Thanks for all the effort on LPM's part.
Hey Sista's My adopted mom was in Tyler today to see Beth, she bought me her new book while there. Beth you have been such a Spiritual blessing to so many. I wish I could have went.I am never able to go financially however read your books whenever I can get a hold of them. God Bless you Beth for doing the Lord's work so faithfully.
The one thing that stands out to me the most from today was Phil.1:20. God has brought me out of all 3 pits there are or maybe I am still climbing...but if I know His deliverance, why am I still ashamed and keeping His deliverance my secret? I don't have the courage to tell others where I have been. I personally don't even like to think about it. So does that mean I am walking around in bondage? And what exactly is that, and how do I actually get to abundant life here on earth, and why do I have so much to work through??? I guess I realized I am still on the journey and that the road is longer than I thought. Can anyone else relate or has everyone else been delivered today?
What a blessing! I attended the simulcast in Rome,GA. Thank you Beth, I have anticipated this for weeks. I am a Pastor's Wife and needed so much to be fed and to drink in what God had for me. When you said "our pit" can also be within the walls of the Church - it was like everything stopped and God got my attention! We have had some difficult struggles recently in our church and I have been to the point of wanting to just lay down and say no more!
God spoke to my heart today and I say Praise to you Lord Jesus!
Love,
Debby
Mrs. Beth you are a true gift to the body of Christ. I wish you hadn't had to go through the pit, but thank God that you came out with victory over the pit and your wallpaper! It reminds me of how Jesus has victory over death and the grave. Not only that, but you want all of us who have been pit dwellers to know that there is more to life than that. Thank you so!
Today I learned so much, it is hard to know where to begin. The most amazing thing of all is that my Knight on a white horse wants me to have release, not just relief.
I watched at a church in Kentucky, and we too had a horrible storm brewing. We lost our connection right when Beth said there is a lie the enemy wants us to believe. Can someone PLEASE tell me what that was...PLEASE!
May God seal His great deliverance in us all!
He delights in me!! I love that and that's what I got from today. I'm amazed at God's sovereignty. I'm one of those that has been delivered from a couple of pits and will never be the same!! Thank you, Beth!! May God richly bless you for your obedience to Him.
I just want to say a huge Thank You for being the vessels and servants you all are! We were blessed today. What an awesome experience! What an awesome God we have!!!
What an incredible day!!! I was at the event in Little Rock Ar. It was raining so hard that the first 20 minutes of Beth's first session we missed but we picked right up. After lunch we worshipped with Travis till the last song and we lost signal again. A lady in the back of the church started singing HOLY HOLY HOLY. We all started singing acapella and as soon as we finished the last word of the song Beth came on clear as a bell and said Praise you Jesus. It was amazing. We were binding Satan and begging to hear from God. We did!!! Thank you Beth for a powerful message. Our God loves us with heavenly hugs and I praise His name. What a MIGHTY God we serve! He can send the rain and Satan can try to use it against us but we know HE sent the rain and HE IS FOR US!!!!!!! For I know whom I believed and am persuaded that He is able to take that which I've commited!!!! Thank you Jesus. We love YOU!!!! Side note- Beth, Cute outfit and loved the hair! :) Amanda, I am sure yours was cute too.
The simulcast today was such a blessing for me. I said as we were leaving that I wish we could do this once a month. It brought me such hope for my husband getting out of his pit. He has been out for months but his foot is dangling on the edge of falling back in and I got so much strength today from listening to the encouraging words of Beth that we don't have to fall back in that pit. We can call out to God to rescue us. I will be standing in the gap for my husband as well as telling him about all I learned today in order to help keep himself from falling back in. Thank you Beth Moore for being faithful to God and bringing the messages he gives you to us.God is an awesome God. He always gives us the word we need right when we need it most.
Your sister in Christ
Marcy in Amarillo
I was in the Tyler meeting today. Wow. It was amazing. I still have so much I am processing from the day. So many things God is teaching me. So many things I have been challenged with, and encouraged with. Thank you LPM staff and worship team for all the hard work and prayer that went into making today a wonderful place for God to inhabit and us to be a part of.
The breath of God is my deliver Thank you for that word. Also, thank you for speaking to the ones who were "leaders" today. Thank you for reminding us to listen to what God had for us today! YOu know us all too well!! Love you and thank you for allowing God to use you today. I love that His word is fresh and you could tell that today. Thank you for the faithful servent you are. Love, Vicki
A wow moment~ the ladies I planned to go with didn't go... I went alone. I didn't know that 4 other ladies from our church went to another host church! God must have wanted me to focus solely on HIM~ and be alone.
What an awesome experience. YES, Beth I have watched you for years and years...... I love you my dear sister. I feel connected to you..
YOU are living life on purpose..
lots of pits to overcome... when you said two reasons why we were there.... YES... for the past year or so.. I have felt and incredible JOY as I am giving it all to HIM and living life on purpose. I KNOW that God wanted me there today... to affirm .
Thank you Amanda for this site. I didn't know it was here.
be blessed,
Teena mom to 1/2 dozen
Cindy in Springfield, Missouri - Thank you so much Beth for the message today. I've really had some 'issues' and all I knew.. was I had to get to this conference. This was the 1st time I had the pleasure of hearing you and your praise team. My life is now headed in a new direction. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I can't tell you how much I needed to hear it! Blessings to you and your team - Cindy
Amanda, I know I already commented... but went on down and read the blog entries about Jackson's birthday. Thank you for sharing with us!
It is so very true.... hold on to this moment... write things down. You probably already do... (blush) I love writing to my children for them to read when they are older...
our oldest will marry this November too! We are all very excited but like the other sister shared.. it seems like yesterday that I rocked my son. God has blessed us with 3 other sons and 2 girls... I am an older mom! They age from 21-3 ....
God is good...all the time
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON~
still reeling from the simulcast!
blessings,
Teena mom to 1/2 dozen
It was wonderful! Thanks for letting God use you! We had quite the amazing mixture of women at our church in Billings Montana...Praise the Lord!!
therefore the REDEEMED of the Lord shall return and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head Is. 51:11
hey, could someone tell me where I can get that song: "He took the shackles off my feet so I could dance...I just want to praise Him.."
Hello from Amarillo, TX.
I was reminded in a very powerful way where I had been (THE PIT) for years and how God delivered me more than 4 years ago and how it has changed and transfomed me. I am not the same person I used to be, Glory to HIM! I also was made aware of the responsibility I have to tell people about it. New people in my life that did not know me prior to my deliverance, do not know what God has done in me. I was made aware of the importance to tell that God is real and HE is able and willing to deliver you from anything. I stand firm not just believing, but KNOWING THAT GOD IS ABLE!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Please tell me that you have put that on dvd. I missed session 3 for a previous engagement with my family. I bowed down and cried last night as I read thru Psalm 18 and believe he pulled me from the pit of dispare I was in. I feel refreshed this morning but would really like to go thru the whole sessions.
The winds were blowing in ada, Ok very hard, Psalm 18:9 says "He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind." He was here, Truly here!!!!
Lisa, Ada, OK
I attended by myself--drove 1 1/2 hrs. to Fargo, ND (with flat, prairie windblown hair!), but was with my friends in Liberty, MO, and my mom & sister in Shakopee, MN, in spirit! Thank you for the message, Beth, and for allowing me to see how far out of the pit I've come. I made it home safely in the blowing snow, too.
WOW! It's Sunday morning, and my fingers are still shaking. His presence was with me and I'm still crying. That He would take someone like 'me' and give me peace and freedom to have the unimaginable to desire to HAVE TO TELL OTHERS! Beth you are so blessed by His presence and Praise be to God that he used someone like 'you'. God Bless you all!
Beth,
We had a great mix of women from a variety of denominations at our site in Grand Junction, CO. You gave such great "meat" for us to chew on. Probably the most significant statement for me was that "we must want more than relief; we must want release!" It's encouraging also to know that sometimes we get tossed into a pit we didn't choose. Others around us may stay in their pits, but I am responsible for the pits I'm in. I will spend the next few days going over my notes again seeing how I can start living this stuff out. So much . . . so rich . . . thank you for your passion! Our God is an awesome God!
Terri in Madison, Al your post blew me away and into instant prayer. I don't even know who you are but I will be in prayer for you. Please remember Psalm 61:2 When my heart is overwhelmed;lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. and Exodus 33:14 My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
Carrie
Think William Wallace and his last cry before he died...FREEDOM!!
We could also shout
DELIVERANCE!!!!!!!!
With deepest soul love..
Your sista!!!!
I have been having the "ugly cry" as I was reading through the posts. Yesterday after coming home, I just couldn't put into words how I...well, I just couldn't come up with words. period. As a volunteer at the Tyler site, I had been really excited, but also didn't know how much I would get to participate because of my volunteer duties. When Beth said the part about this being between this being between you and your God, not who you brought or who you know who needs to get out of the pit, I felt a weight lift off. I realized that I'm the girl with one leg in the pit doing the splits. And that position can be very painful. I am ready to stand up on MY ROCK and stretch my legs!!
Thank you, Jesus, for showing up and showing off for this TYLer girl!
Wow....I don't think I can just name "one thing" about the day and what was spoken. I love the way David starts out Psalm 18..."I love You, Lord!" I do love Him so!
It was also very windy in Norman, OK and our satelite had a few problems, but we too stopped and prayed because we knew satan did not want this to go on. It didn't last but a couple of minutes and was back on. It is interesting to read about all of the different weather conditions all over the U.S. and how satan thought he could use that to distract.
I would like to thank the host church, Journey Church for the very special way we were treated. The hostesses were awesome.
Beth, thank you for sharing the truth to us. I was thinking about a song we sing in our church "Love Lifted Me" but our leader always changes the words to "Christ Lifted Me" and that is what I've been singing this morning after hearing the message yesterday.
God bless you, the praise team, your Living Proof staff, and all who had any part in getting this simulcast together. We love and appreciate you all!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this simulcast. As Kelly said in an earlier comment, I loved hearing Psalm 73:13-15. God whispered to me, "Listen to this my child." It spoke to me in an amazing way and I had never read this scripture before. Living Proof Ministries rock!
I was at the simulcast in GA today. I was blessed beyond measure. I want to thank Beth & Travis for following where the Spirit leads them. When I go to these events I never feel like I am listening to a pre-planned show. The day always seems to ebb & flow with the Holy Spirit. Your message od Deliverence will stay with me all of my days. I thank God that both Beth & Travis have followed the calling that God has placed on their lives, because it has touched so many!
My Dear Beth,
My name is Claudia Sullivan. I live in Salem, Missouri and I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. In the midst of all the doctors and tests, I have been given the true gift of peace from the Lord. It is confirmed every day in His word over and over. I was so disapointed that I would miss your simulcast and our revival beginning the Sunday after your simulcast, but the Lord is truly gracious and saw fit to postpone my surgery until March 5th so I could hear you and be strengthened by your words and those of Brady Weldon, our preacher for the revival this week. My real reason to write you is to let you know that when I got home, I had a letter from one of my brothers who attends a Catholic parish in St. Louis. He shared my illness with a friend who asked a group of nuns to lift me up in prayer. I received the card from these ladies after the simulcast. Inside was a card for healing and another card with a picture of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemene. On the back was Psalm 18:1-3, 6, 30. I cna't begin to describe the comfort of the power of the Lord. It truly is not a Catholic, or Baptist, or Penecostal thing, It is a GOD THING! He works to comfort us in the deepest of trials and let us know that he will reach down, pull me up by my hurting diseased left side, and cradle me in his arms as he delivers me through this illness. I am grateful to you and your team for your heart for the Lord and His people. I wanted you to know that the work you do is not wasted. The Lord is leading you in ways you can never know...I wanted you to know about this one. God Bless You and your Wonderful Team!
Claudia Sullivan
Thank you to all who made the simulcast happen. What God spoke to me was that I don't have to be perfect to be used by Him. Thank you Beth for being so real! I am joining the race and running for THE PRIZE!!!
The simulcast I was at was 3.5 hours from home... I really didn't know what I was going to. I have done 3 Bible studies of B's and a friend invited me to go.
Honestly, I am not sure, yet, what the Lord has done in me during the service. I'm still too full and close to it to know. I have been walking through grief. (We lost our oldest son, age 20, 5 months ago.) But I know the day was a blessing.
Thanks so much.~G

Beth,
Your hair looked FABULOUS!!! I could tell the Spirit of the Lord was on you the moment you walked on stage, your face was glowing with His presence. Up here in Alaska it was -10 degrees, but my hair managed to stay BIG. Everytime you mentioned Anchorage Alaska we all clapped and screamed like we knew you could hear us! It was so cute!
I LOVED every thing you brought to us. My one thing is not only do we Believe, but we KNOW...and our deliverence is contagious. Because you taught me to believe God, I now know what it is really like to KNOW Him in the very core of my being.
Thank you and Travis, and Amanda and all the people it took to put this on. Lets do it again soon okay? LOL...
Get some rest Beth, and may our Father fill you right back up!

Yesterday marked the anniversary of 3 years being a widow. My husband went home to be with the Lord on the 24th of March, 2004 at 50 years of age due to brain cancer. You had no idea that when the Holy Spirit led you yesterday to Phil. 1:12 that I felt like God reached down to remind me once again..He is sovereign and in control. The day we found out about my husband's cancer we were reading Phil. 1 together and that's the verse we came accross,
12.Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.
My husband decided right there that whenever anyone asked us "why" about his brain cancer..this would be our answer. Thanks, Beth, for the reminder!! Being brought out of the pit as we speak!!
Tammy in Virginia
We attended the simulcast and were so blessed to be a part of such a huge event. Thank you Beth and team for your continued obedience in all that God directs you to do. We were all blessed beyond measure.
As someone who has been delivered from the pit, but still likes to dangle a foot in sometimes, yesterday was a great reminder to ask God to roll that big rock over it so that I can't be tempted to go back.
Beth was on fire yesterday and a true truth-sayer! My prayer is that the women at the prison in Marianna, Florida heard God's message yesterday and will lift their left arms to Him so they can be delivered! My thoughts are so strongly with them all and I can't help but ask us all to remember not just them, but the women throughout this world who need the strength to stretch their arms! I hope they heard Him yesterday. Oh how I pray.
Beth - thanks for your dedication to the cause. I can only imagine the preparation that went into that sermon. Please know you got it right. You nailed it! And the heavenlys were just a rockin'. I can't wait to see that footage when I get to heaven!! How fun! Safe travels this week. We have y'all lifted in prayer.
Love from your Tallahassee Sista!
Hi Beth & Amanda, I helped coordinate the simulcast at a Prayer Center my husband and I are involved in. Just wanted you to know there were about 20 different churches in the Tampa Bay area represented there yesterday! It was awesome! I loved it when Beth talked about all the different churches and denominations taking part, and many of those mentioned were there in our room! All of us involved were giving very enthusiastic amens! The simulcast was terrific. I got so much out of it. Travis and the singers were awesome. The Lord really showed up in a mighty way yesterday and there were some women healed and delivered! You should have seen this little old couple that came, they were so precious. They drove about 1.5 hours to come to the prayer center - it was so sweet to see this lady with her man at the simulcast....Thank you so much!
Went to the simulcast in a small town Creedmoor, North Carolina. The presence of the Holy Spirit was in the church during the simulcast. It was a great word and great way to hear Beth if you can't be there in person. Thank you all!!
To Holly who wonders if everyone has been delivered today -- I too feel this is a long journey sometimes, wanting the abundant life here. It is such a process of ongoing growth and depth. I find myself after this simulcast just praying that God will make it clear to me what my pits are or have been, and that I will take the message to heart. I want to embrace all He has for me and not miss out on the abundant life and purpose He made us for. "Don't pass me by!!" is the cry of my heart. I'm a work in progress. Holly, you're not alone.
Carolyn-
the song you asked about is called "shackels" and you can find it on either Travis Cottrell's website, or on Mary Mary's cd called 'thankful'.
hope i helped!
Sarah in Tampa
P.S. Abby- i am SO with you on wanting to purchase a copy of the simulcast! I didn't get to go...i am SOOOO sad.
To carolyn who responded at 6:09 a.m. it's a song by Mary, Mary. It really is Beth's Theme Song.( I think they should rename it!)
I just sat here and cried over all these blogs- just praising the LORD for being HUGE and Mighty! Oh, He is GOOD! Thank You Jesus!
I feel idiotic, because I thought I couldn't attend a Simulcast event since one wasn't being held at the church that I attend. I missed such a blessing; believe me, if there's another such Simulcast, I'll be at the closest church, no matter how far away that might be.
Beth,
The main message to my heart (among so much truth that was spoken at the Simulcast) was your personal response when you've felt unable to deal with heartbreak and have wanted to give up; the Lord has said to you that you'd either go into a pit yourself over it or you could teach others to stay out of the pit.
You model courage to me, Beth, and I feel God's nudging me similarly; that part of my victory will be to share honestly my story of deliverance with those He safely connects me.
I am overwhelmed with His message of hope to my heart.
Dearly love you, Beth.
Dearly.
To Terri in Madison, AL
Terri, I pray that God's unfailing love will rest upon you even as you put your trust in Him
To Holly,
I have so been where you are. Until February 14, 2007, jealousy was the address of my pit. God did a supernatural work and I have been delivered. Run to Jesus first, and cry out to Him. The enemy of your soul does not want you to confess anything, much less out loud, and certainly not to another person. (see James 5:16)
To Marcy,
I prayed for you and your husband from Colossians 3:12-14, that you clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. I pray that you bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. I pray you forgive as God forgave. And over all these virtues I pray you put on love, which binds together in perfect unity.
Standing in the gap for my sisters,

I am sitting here in tears reading everyone's post on how God moves! He is awesome...and so big--reaching into each of our corners of the world...
I would love to hear how God moved in the women's prison!!
I was in Springdale, AR, and the power and presence of God was so evident! I am so amazed on a daily basis, how our loving God has such perfect timing in His revelations to us! Wed. night, our Pastor's message was Psalm 18! Although his message was from the perspective of having a lift that will last, I needed the perspective of Beth's as well. It so reminded me of her Bible study, "Breaking Free", as well!
But, the miracles did'nt end in what happened in my life yesterday, but continued, as I shared my testimony with a young lady, and at the last break, was able to lead her to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!
Beth has been such a blessing to women with her love for God and his Word, and her willingness to place her life in His hand to do the work she does.
Wow! I have never commented before, but I just want to say "Thank you" for your obedience and passion for God's deliverance to be made REAL in our lives.
The part God has used the most SO FAR was the explanation of the word "love" in Psalm 18, and how God used that same word toward us, that He really wants to come and interact and touch us and be with us, just like I do when I see a baby. If I (we) could just GET that, that He loves us SO much. . . So much of yesterday was a reinforcement of what the Lord is already teaching me. . . Thank you and keep pressing on!
I admit that I didn't read what our church flier said. I thought with "Deliverance" in the title, it was a follow-up to Breaking Free and since 9 of us took a van, I didn't even know where I was in Maryland! But I know you & your staff PRAY, and I expected to hear from God and certainly did. You are teaching me these days in ways that you could not know. (Only God could do it!) Thank you, everyone, for your obedience to the voice of God! Glory to God!
P.S. to Holly,
What I neglected to say in my earlier comment was that for the better part of the last five years, prior to my deliverence on February 14, 2007, I had been asking the question, "Am I in bondage, Lord?" The answer, obviously was yes. When I called out to Him, when I was on my face before Him, He supernaturally delivered me from the jealousy that had been deeply embedded in my heart. I could go no further with Him until it was removed. I'm told that people who have heart surgery say afterwards that they never realized how sick or tired they were until they were well. I didn't know how deep the root went until the Great Physician removed it. Holly, it is worth whatever it takes to be free.
Been there, done that, so I know how to stand in the gap for you,
Patti
To Amanda and Beth,
I hope it's okay to comment on the comments of other sisters.
Taking a risk - cause my comfort zone is not a pit I want to go back to,
Patti
The simulcast was great yesterday!!! You were awesome, Beth, and so was Travis and the praise team. God was all over the place in Bardstown, KY! Beth, you always look too cute, but can I just say that I love your longer hair? :) Seriously though, thank you for teaching all of us how to recognize a pit, and most of all, how to stay out of one. While I've never met you face to face, through the conferences and bible studies, you have become my friend. Thank you for all you do. You are the most refreshing, intense, sold-out-for-Jesus woman...I have learned so much about God and His character through you.
Wow, the mighty wind that was in TX was blowing here in Colorado too! 60+ miles per hour and yet we still had a HUGE turnout to the simulcast. Awesome message! Cannot stop talking about it with my friends. We all plan on buying the book so that we can meet as a small group and continue to encourage eachother to get out of our PITS! Thank you so much!
I was watching from Corona, CA. I had wondered how the worship time would work without the praise team in the room. It was so great I forgot that it wasn't right in the room with us. Thank you, Travis and the Praise Team! And thank you, Beth, and your staff for bringing God's message to so many of us living in different size and depths of pits. I didn't realize I was in a pit until yesterday and I intend to live outside of it! Thanks for reminding me that all I have to do it cry out to Him to be picked up and held in His safe, loving arms!
Someone was asking about the song "Shackles." It is on Travis' cd called "The Lamb Has Overcome."
I felt as if Beth was in my back pocket all week and spoke the message on Saturday to me specifically! Isn't that just like our God... meeting each of us where we are.
I specifically needed to hear about forgiveness...even when the person you need to forgive doesn't get it...doesn't even admit there is a reason to be forgiven. It gave me great hope to know it is possible to sit in the same room and not have feelings of hatred anymore! I need that, and I want that...oh so much.
Hopeful1 in PA
God is using the simulcast and Beth's new book to help me identify the pit I was thrown into and have lived in for 26 YEARS!!! I am asking Him to overwhelm me with my identity in Christ rather than to continue to allow the pit I am leaving to define me.
Thanks for following Jesus, Beth. And for allowing us to get in on
the journey!
April in Louisiana
Oceanside, CA here! It was fantastic, a fresh Word is what I got! I am still processing all that was said. Thank you once again for reminding me how he delights in us! We had a bit of a sound glitch the first half of the casting, but all went well. I was empty and needed this feeling of the Holy Spirit, and it was medicine for my mind, body and spirit. Thank you Travis for worship and praise, and thank you LPM for all you continue to do to minister to the body of Christ for His glory! love you all so much, marianne
I attended the simulcast in Nashville, TN with two of my closest friends. I don't even know where to start! I haven't been able to put into words what God spoke to me! I have a blog too, and I am aching to share Saturday. One was the reference to Psalm 73:13-15 and the struggle to not reveal your "pit" to anyone. This is me in so many ways! Lastly, one of Beth's final comments was that our pit may have a steeple on it. My family and I have recently made the decision to leave the church I have attended since I was 13 (I'm now 36). It has been hard and heartbreaking. The two friends who attended with me are also trying to make the same decision. Beth's comment was one more confirmation from God. Thank you!
Hello,
Ijust want to say that I had an awesome time this past
Saturday. I've been in church sonce my teen year and have also memorized Ps. 18 and 40. But let me tell you the Lord refreshed my mind and Spirit!!!. Beth or Amanda, if you read this blog let me tell you that I'm writing on depression in women and how can it be overcome through the power of Scripture and renewing of the mind in Christ. Please email me at isierra10@hotmail.com
I would love for you to read it.
Love,

P.S. Remember the poem Babylon from the Daniel Bible study. Is there a way of getting it?

I drove 7 hours to attend the simulcast with my mother at her church. Several PITS back I would've driven twice that distance to be the first one to "tap the keg"! Forgive me if some one is affended by that but that's just how it was. Anyway....it was worth every mile there and back. My mother and I will never forget it. God showed up in a huge way.
I wasnt able to attend but I loved reading all the comments!! I'm one also asking...can we get this on DVD??? Or online even??? I'm thrilled for all who were able to attend. I'm so glad that so many were reached and are healing!! Praise God!!! (But I have to admit my heart was very sad to have to miss it.)
All I can say is WOW! How awesome is God??? I think we were all truyly blessed. Thank you everyone who had any hand in Saturday. I know that God was working!

PS - Beth your hair looked magnificent. You know us okies are fond of big hair too. :)
Thank you for the wonderful word picture you gave me of how much God loves me. Just as Amanda rocked her son, I can know imagine God, in his rocking chair throne :), rocking me and telling me about all the things He loves about ME! Not a collective Me a Me, ME! :) Something I struggle with so much. Thanks for giving me something to think about so I can truly experience His great love for me.
Yesterday at my church, the story of Peter walking on the water was read, and then the question: Where are you in your faith walk--Do you see Jesus walking out there and fear Him? Are you stepping out of the boat in faith? Or are you sinking down in doubt?
I wanted to jump out of my chair and say: You forgot the rest of the story!! (Matt. 14:30-31)"..beginning to sink, (Peter) cried out, 'Lord, save me!' IMMEDIATELY Jesus reached out HIS HAND and caught him...The best place of any I can imagine. Being rescued by my Knight!
I also have a 5-year old daughter, Morgan, who loves to dress up...and I explained to her Saturday night why she loves fairy tales and being a princess. I told her, she's going to be the bride of Christ in Heaven, and He is her Prince...she thought for a minute and said, "but mama? What are boys when THEY go to heaven?"
I also hear "songs of deliverance" everywhere around me now, that I didn't seem to notice before!
Beth Moore, your love for Jesus, and His love in You IS contagious!
