Beth Moore simulcast notes

Beth Moore Simulcast Notes- Aug. 1-2

Travis Cottrell started the conference with saying new beginnings.
We get one shot at this life so LIVE IT but not for self but to God.
Walk and surrender
God can set any captive FREE!!!
He can restore us, repair us, and build us up again.

Beth spoke from Luke 8:1-15 ( I challenge you to read it!)

Think about WHAT God has sown into you.
We are a woman of means, substance, and resources.
We are not superficial!

Verse 3: women who provided for Him (JESUS) from their substance.

Our life was meant to be lived out in a relationship with God.
We increase our competence and confidence in the WORD of God.

Verse 8:8 one hundred-fold harvest
She said we should have MAXIMUM IMPACT in our lives with God’s word. Learn how to let the Word crop a 100fold

Genesis 26:12 “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed Him.”
So, check this verse out in Gal. 3:29
“And you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

WE ladies are a seed of Abraham!!!! Praise God

She said that anything we lose for God’s sake He will return 100 fold!

Surrender our life to MAXIMUM IMPACT.

Did you know that Jesus disciplied twelve young men. He was sowing a seed in their lives so then they could sow into other lives including their families.

DO NOT lose God’s hope in hearing HIS voice, his promises, and HIS miracles.
DO NOT allow the enemy to tell you lies
When God speaks to you don’t allow the enemy to make you doubt it.
DO NOT let the enemy tell you that you didn’t hear God’s voice because of the sin in your life and your past. I realize that sin is different for all of us.
NEWS FLASH….when we confess our sin God forgives us…my words

Hos. 10:12 Now is the time to seek the Lord and plow up the hard ground of your heart.

“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Ok, she gave us 7 Truths

1. Treasure the wonder- the BIBLE
2 Tim. 3:16
Gen 2:7
God will thoroughly equip us!
She said as woman we are competently competent!!!

2. Protect your heart- hide God’s word in your heart
Luke 8:12 Ladies this verse is so good. How many have you gotten excited about God’s word then WHAT happened? Did you memorize it, retain it, study it…was it deep rooted in your heart or did you allow the enemy to snatch it. Did you allow the enemy to steal your seed because you didn’t spend time watering it?

Do you realize what Satan’s agenda really is? His entire agenda is to make sure YOU do not become healed, restored, repaired, liberated in Christ. To make sure we don’t live out our purpose and fulfill our destiny. Is that something to get mad about??? Nothing is more important to satan than to steal God’s word from you and make sure we are ill equipped to do WHAT God called us to do. He cannot steal our salvation so he will try to steal everything else good in our lives.

John 10:10 more abundant life
Psalm 119:10-11
I loved this…when God gives you a word then we must put our hand over our heart to protect it. So, stop what you are doing and think God for a word He has given you and gently place your hand over your heart and tell the enemy this WORD is not for you but for ME. You cannot steal God’s Word from me. I love doing this; it just gives me much comfort. J

FAITH and FREEDOM- inseparable
Because of our faith we have freedom.
We can be delivered from addictions and the sin in our life.

Ask yourself this question? WHAT DO I BELIEVE GOD IS CAPABLE OF DOING IN MY LIFE...not anothers but your life

I can be a WOMAN of spiritual means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was all on Friday night and it was good and encouraging.
I know this is a lot of notes especially on God’s Word but you know what without God’s Word what do we have. When I left there Friday night I just felt so encouraged and free as a WOMAN. We should hold our head up high because Christ dwells in you and me. If you don’t know Jesus then you won’t have this freedom. It takes a relationship with Jesus Christ and accepting him as your savior and Lord. It takes confessing your sin and admitting that we are sinners and we can’t do this life thing on our own.
God has forgiven us of our sins so WHY haven’t we. We all have our dark past and dark secrets but there is NOTHING that will separate you from the love of Jesus. I want to share a beautiful verse with you that gives me HOPE. Romans 8:37-39 I actually painted this on a canvas and have it hanging in my home because I need that reminder that NOTHING can take God’s love away from me. Ladies that is comforting and powerful. I have no idea who will be reading this so I have to share my heart with you. I can’t imagine living in this life with out GOD. I have asked God to give me the exact things to share with you. I know I told some of you that I would type notes for you and some of you are probably a little overwhelmed. That is ok, just print the notes and take it at your own speed. I just could not keep all this to myself. If you find these notes and you don’t have a relationship with Jesus then I beg you to call a friend, family member, anyone to help you or call me Joannie 356-9164. Your life will never ever be the same!!!

Ok, so let’s press on with day 2. God will restore in your life what the enemy has stolen! Take a step of victory. Let me just share with you that victory was a word God gave me several months. You better believe I put my hand over my heart and I said VICTORY is mine in CHRIST.
So, I remember the verse God gave me. “Victory comes from you, O Lord, may your blessings rest on your people.” Psalm 3:8

When I am having hard times and I am being persecuted and my family is going through trials then guess WHAT I have a word…my WORD. Victory is MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I wrote that verse on an index card and I meditated on it all day so it would be deep rooted in my heart. That is just an example for you. I hope that helps you.

She said that Life is tough but we will rejoice!

She read Luke 8:8-15 from The Message

The time to move on a Word is NOW!

When we sow God’s word in our heart then our life begins to change.

Isaiah. 55 10-12

When the season of testing exceeds the season of believing, we are headed towards a season of falling. I had to read this over and over to get it. We have to have our faith and believe especially during hard times.

3. Expect the test.
Testing – peirasmos (greek word)
Trials- God - to make stand Temptations- satan- to make fall

The Word of God is meant to be applied in our toughest times.
1 Cor. 10:13 God is faithful and will make a way of escape

Psalm 126:5-6

She said we can’t bull God! He knows our heart so tell him your issues!

Psalm 105:17-22
Until God’s word comes to pass it is refining us, pruning us, proving us true

God will burn out the fake in us. When we pretend then God will humble us. I am sure we can all think of a time when this happened. It isn’t always fun either so just be transparent with God, yourself, and others. I have been on this journey and it is freeing. Be what you seem.

4. Dig the roots- God’s love, he has not forgotten you
Eph 3:17 being rooted and grounded in love

Do you remember the song, “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so”? Parents start teaching this to your children. This will carry you through a death, lost job, illness, critical spouse etc….

2 King 19:29-30

5. Stop the choke- Anxiety chokes God’s Word out of us
Luke 8:14-15

Whatever we are worrying about chokes the word right out of you.

Phil 4:6 the root of worry is losing control

Ladies, we all deal with worry. I want to share with you what I have been doing first thing in the morning that helps so much. I simply ask God to order my day, order my work, my relationships, my phone calls, my time whatever it is you may stress about.

Oh, I loved this too. We are called to be WARRIORS not worriers!!!

Anxiety shows that we aren’t trusting God.

Life is hard and we aren’t going to feel good all the time. Our temptation is to make our self-feel good with pleasures. This was very freeing for my personal life. Have you just felt down and felt bad about being down or in a funk and you couldn’t figure out what was going on with you?

God will birth passion from our pain and that is WHY Beth is so passionate about God’s word because she will tell you God brought her from the pit!

1 Cor. 1: 5-7 we are enriched in everything

Everyone of our lives has purpose! We need to e competently competent in Christ, we will have a 100fold harvest.

Salvation has nothing to do with our denomination but with a relationship with Christ. Have you spent time with God today?

Romans 10:9 confess with your mouth

My faithfulness….your faithfulness can affect 1000 generations to come!!!! Did you get that, one thousand.

Beth shared that she came from a background of sexual abuse at the age of 3-4 yrs olds. She doesn’t remember the first time but she remembers at this age having shame and as a teenager not knowing the word NO. She didn’t say who caused the abuse but she said it was an authority in her life whom she should have trusted. Ladies, I am so sorry if you too went through abuse. I know I did and it does something to your self image and your self confidence. You don’t feel worthy of anyone’s love. There is HOPE ladies in God’s love and His grace. So, we come from a background of victimilization and then we victimize ourselves. God is a God of healing.

Psalm 107:20 God healed them with his word

God will put His word in your life to heal you and set you free!

She talked about her daughter’s strong will. She cried when she was young many times. I can relate to that with my Josie Hope. J Now, her daughter is married to a minister and pouring into the lives of broken people. So, we have to get out of God’s way and let him work in our children’s lives.

Luke 8:15 noble and good

Noble- beautiful (greek word kalos) good- benefical (greek word agathos)
A beautiful and benefical heart

WE are left here on Earth to be a benefit (help) to others.

Phil 2:17 help others

God allowed what happened to us to minister, heal, and help others.
What God brought us through is about others and helping them.
Beth said that a lot of people come up to her and say why did God allow all of that to happen to you…she says to birth my passion to set others free.
So, ask yourself what has God brought you from, healed you from.

Oh, I totally loved this…Let’s make the enemy sorry that he messed with you and your life!!! Our only defense and weapon is the WORD…God’s word. Satan can not make us lose our salvation. He wants us to lose our effectiveness because he is mad.

Ecc. 11:6 sow our seed first thing in the morning because we need out seed all day

Isaiah 50:4 God will give us knowledge in the morning

We should all have our PHD - Pure hearted disciple

Isaiah 50:10 walking in light

God CAN change our life not just our day.
PMS- please more spirit (she is silly too)

6. Retain the Word
Greek word retain is kateche- to hold in an a vice grip, to posses, to own
Meditate on your word all day. God will give you a daily word and a life word like my word VICTORY…that is my life word. So, listen to God speak to you. Oh, listening to God simply means opening your Bible and reading his word. God is reading to you and you are listening. Some days I don’t want to get out of bed and I don’t feel like doing my quiet time with God so I just get my Bible and start reading. My attitude usually changes and I get some truth. Some days are awesome and others and good but the bottom line is I am obeying God and staying committed to giving him my first.

7. Press forth to your 100 fold- persevere
Just like I am doing with these notes, I am finishing them for you guys.
Sometimes we will start something and then we don’t finish. She said that anytime we get in the middle of doing something for God- we want to quit!
This is when we have to press on…press forth
I am tired of typing but it isn’t about me or my comfort.
A harvest doesn’t come quickly, it takes time….if we quit then we won’t see the 100 fold, our harvest won’t come.

Believe God for the finished work!!!!!!!!!

Revelation 10:7 the mystery of God would be finished
All questions will be answered

WE ARE WOMAN OF SPIRITUAL SUBSTANCE AND MEANS WHO HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE!!!

Hey Ladies,
I hope you got something ONE THING from all of the notes. I know I just couldn’t allow all the TRUTH that Beth sowed in my heart be snatched and forgotten. I hope this blesses you and encourages you to STAND UP for Jesus and live for HIM and HIM alone. He will teach us how to love others; our spouse, friends, parents, children EVERYONE.

Blessings to all of you and share this with others.
If you have any questions or comments please email me or call me.
If you need prayer and encouragement then I am here for you.

Sweet blessings,
Joannie

God gave me this verse on Aug. 4th

“Then he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” Luke 7:50

You know what, I have been praying for peace in my life for years.
God was refining me as I waited, he didn’t forget my prayer.

God loves you
