Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof is to serve people, the Word of God.

We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the Word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God

is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege. You know, as we look

on our scripture in this last few minutes together, we're going to look upon the mountaintop

of trouble and suffering, primarily suffering.

And I told you last night that really, this season, at least as of yesterday, as of this morning,

mine will be characterized more by responsibility right now, very often trouble.

I tell you, the enemy will bring

so much opposition and the Lord allows it to make us strong and make us stand firm. But I also

know what it's like to just have my heart absolutely broken into pieces. And as I was on my knees

praying over you and I just thought about the tenderness of women,

I thought about one time when I told a story and I'm not going to tell the same way I did

because I don't intend to put you in the same state too.

But I remember that after I told it and I really broke down and I'm not much, I don't

cry much in public, which if you've done the Bible studies, you know I'm not just

tremendously emotional up at the podium, but this time, I don't know, I just, it just did it.

And when I pull myself back together and got back to my notes and started to try to teach,

the women were out of control.

Well, you've never heard such snorting in all your life.

We blew our noses for 20 minutes, and it was the most precious thing, because somehow even that just ministered to me.
