Beth Moore simulcast

Did anyone else reading this go to one of the Beth Moore simulcasts? A couple of ladies from our church were going and I had said I'd like to go if I wasn't working. I didn't have to work so I decided to go. I'm so glad I did.

I was going to meet the other ladies there so I drove in right after balancing the checkbook. There is room for improvement in the checkbook and there is not much wiggle room at all. Anyway, I got to the simulcast location and they asked if I had my ticket. I said no, that I needed to buy one and they said that was fine. Another lady walked up and handed me a ticket and said another group of ladies had come in and had an extra ticket and told her to give it to someone who didn't have one. How cool is that?! It was like God was saying, I'm still taking care of you, I've still got my eye on you. I nearly cried.

I met up with the other ladies and the simulcast got started. I've done Beth Moore studies, with the videos and workbooks but had never been to something like this. It was awesome from start to finish. I'm still processing everything I took in. Apparently there were 714 simulcast locations (plus the Louisville location where it originated from) all over the world including every state except NH, Puerto Rico, Canada, and a group of missionaries in Guatemala. They figure there were 70,000 people at these 715 locations coming together to worship God and learn how to have a hundred fold harvest in their lives.

For me personally, a lot of what I took away from it had to do with this crazy long adoption process. A few of those things are; everything from the devil is to make sure that you do not. Everything from Christ is so that you may have. One of the main points was to "expect the test". Yeah, I've noticed that one. She said testing comes in two forms; trials, which come from God, to make you stand and temptations come from satan and make you fall. I also learned that anxiety chokes the Word of God out of us and the root of anxiety is our desire to control. Also, living in defeat makes satan happy, and I don't want to make him happy.

If anyone else went to one of these simulcasts I'd love to hear a comment from you.
