So I have been trying to figure out how to put the Beth Moore simulcast into a blog post. The more I think about it, the more I realize that I am still processing a lot of what she said and taught. Usually I can come up with something to write or say fairly quickly. But this is different.
What God has shown me is that in order to live as a victorious Christian, we must be willing to go deeper in our relationship with Christ. We must move past salvation and press forward in growing our relationship with God. This weekend, Beth made the statement that you must dig down and have deep roots below if you want to produced good fruit above. By that she means that our roots must be planted in the soil of the God's Word and growing deeper in God's Word if we want to see a hundredfold harvest above.
Saturday evening, after the simulcast, I was going over my Sunday school lesson for today and the Holy Spirit really made John 6:53-58 stand out to me. Here Jesus is explaining to the Jews that He is the Bread of Life and that you must eat of His flesh and drink of His blood if you want to have life. As I was reading these verses, the Holy Spirit really hammered home the point that we must feed on Christ. By that I mean we must be in His Word daily. In John 6:57, Jesus said,"As the living Father sent ME, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me." If we want to have any life spiritually, we must feed on Christ. If we want out spiritual life to continue to grow, we must feed on Christ daily. We must seek Him and dig our roots deeper into the soil of Christ. The deeper our roots, the stronger our relationship with Christ. The more we feed on Christ, the stronger we become and more we grow spiritually.
I'm sure there is more that I will write later on, but for today, this is what has really stood out to me. I know that I can speak from personal experience that when we neglect daily Bible study, our spiritual life suffers and we give the devil an open door of attack.
What are your thoughts? Did you see the simulcast this weekend? What did God say to you? Let me know.

Yes, I completely enjoyed the Beth Moore simulcast! I am so thankful that Melinda Eggers had the vision of bringing it to our church.
My word from God was that I am a woman of spiritual substance, and I am not average. I am pressing forth to my 100-fold harvest. Praise Jesus, I am not ashamed to be a sold-out believer!
Are you having fun blogging? It has been a terrific way for me to process what God is telling me in the Scriptures. It's fun to share it with others too.
Great sermon today, BTW.
Thank you very much for the comment and compliment!
The pressing forth is the hard part I think. I agree with everyone that I have heard say, we are a society now that wants everything instantaneously, and if God does not bless us or respond right away, we look for something/someone else to meet our needs.
And I do enjoy the blogging. I'm just now getting into the whole thing, but I think it will be a cool way to keep people informed as to what I'm doing in Dallas! Hope the move goes well for y'all. I'm working on my "Texan" already.
