0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the God of all things possible. He's the God of all0:22 miracles.Living in the Reality of God's Blessings 0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:55 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about are you really living in the reality of God's blessings? Do you really believe1:07 that? Like, are you really, like, gonna gonna just know and and live in the blessings of what God says? You know, so many of us are just always, like, just just1:19 never seeming to, like, be blessed. And we look around and we can say, you know what? They're always blessed over there. You know how that whole grass is always greener in the other backyard? You know, some some people's1:29 are they they got the whole golf course turf happening while you've you've you've got all the anthills. And you know, sometimes we have to just start thinking about what you're thinking about and and really just1:41 know how to how do we get those blessings and what does the word of God say about those blessings. And we need to start calling things that aren't as though they are. And no matter what it looks like, you can speak to1:53 your situation, you can say not what's happening, but what God says about that situation. Call it out, speak life, and expect to see God move and2:05 to bless you.2:06 Exactly. And I think of our times. I think about, you know, Abraham and Sarah. Everybody knows Abraham and Sarah wanted a child, and God promised Abraham and Sarah2:18 that they were going to have a child. And yet their bodies, according to the Bible, were as good as dead. That's not me speaking. That Sarah laughed. I mean, it was2:29 impossible, and yet, you know, they eked out this 1 child. Right? And and yet the promise over Abraham's life, God even changed his name from2:41 Abram to Abraham, which meant father of, you know, the multitudes. Right? 1 child. That's faith. That's right? It didn't look like the promise2:53 was manifest. Right? It it it did not spring forth necessarily the way that they envisioned it. Here they were old and, you3:04 know, practically dead.3:06 What God said. But you know what? God said it. It's gonna happen. That's true.3:10 And it was credited to Abraham as righteousness. Yes. It was put into his account as righteousness. And now look at this. Look at the world. Yes. Abraham, and he had Isaac,3:22 and Isaac had, you know, it goes on in Jacob, and it goes on and on. And and now Abraham, who died before he saw it all,3:34 has children as as numerous as the sands, by the ocean and the stars in the sky just like the Bible says. It is manifested. We don't always have to see3:47 before we believe. We can believe God, and it is credited to us as righteousness. Don't you wanna please God? It says without faith, it is impossible to please God.3:58 It's very true. And the longer we entertain what is not of God, then the longer you're gonna postpone what is. And so so many times we're doing things that we know4:10 are not of God and we're not trusting and maybe you've had a notion. Maybe you had a notion for an idea or maybe you had a notion to to start looking for another job or maybe you had a4:22 notion that you're supposed to speak to your neighbors or you're supposed to, you know, maybe teach a life group or whatever these little things are. When you keep backing away from those things, you haven't done it, you4:33 just throw it off, put it off to another time. Complacency will always steal your blessings. You know, you have to step out in faith and you have to get out there and whatever God is saying because if there's a4:45 notion that's popped in your head like that, that is something that is not really you, maybe it's something that's going to require you to step out of your box and step out of your comfort zone, there's a good chance4:56 that that's from the Lord. And I'm talking good things, like God's never going to go tell you to do something crazy or awful. I'm talking like he's gonna say maybe you should, you know, have some people over and pray, or5:07 maybe you're gonna have a Bible study over here, or maybe you're gonna step out in faith and do it. Maybe you're supposed to talk to that person at work or your neighbor. And, you know, God's not gonna change his mind5:16 about that. So the when we want to live in the reality of God's blessings, it's time for us to pay attention to what he's saying in all areas of our life. Maybe God is asking you to5:28 maybe watch your mouth. Maybe maybe you're using some profanity. Maybe you're watching some show and you're like, oh, it's just a show. But you know what? If God's putting it on your heart that you5:40 shouldn't watch it, you shouldn't watch it. And the devil loves for you to say it's just a show. It's not, you know but those are the kind of things that get in us. Garbage in, garbage out. And God's not5:51 joking when he tells you these things. We are called to live holy and according to his standards. God knows if God's telling you you shouldn't be watching that, you shouldn't be talking like that,6:03 then period. You shouldn't be talking like that because you don't know who's hearing you and who's who's that's getting in the souls. If there's children around or whatever, you have to live with it. It's so6:15 true.6:16 It's so true. It was my husband's birthday not that long ago, and we went out with, some of our family, and we went to a hibachi grill. Right? And we said,6:28 you know, can you please make it gluten free? And we were sitting at a table with a other fam with another family. And so talking about garbage in, garbage out.6:39 So we're sitting there, and he makes our whole meal gluten free awesome. He makes their meal not gluten free, and everything's great. And then he goes here6:51 and splashes the whole he's like, since he's the birthday boy, here, and he's he just hits his entire plate with the with all the wheat and all the stuff that he7:03 was not supposed to have, and that's garbage in garbage out because it was like we were shocked. I know. We went the whole meal. It was perfect. We were having a great time, and7:15 he had to start over for his meal because my husband has celiac. So he cannot eat something like that. He would have been sick. So that little bit of7:27 TV that you're watching, you know, the the it's grieving your spirit. You know it is. Mhmm. You know that the Holy Spirit is telling you do not put that in your spirit. It says7:39 if if the that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and if the eyes are seeing evil, how great is that evil? I mean, come on. We have got to begin to7:51 live in a different way if we wanna see God's promises manifested. If God has told you to do something like go out and preach to, preach on the streets, go out and,8:03 go on these mission trips, be a part of a ministry, write a book, whatever it is God told you to do. If you're doing other things and you're too busy to do it, you need to cut out the things that8:15 that are not pertinent to what God told you to do because the Bible says that those who obey him are his. If you're not obeying Jesus, you need to go back to the foot of8:26 that cross. Truly. It's so true. You better obey God or maybe you're actually not his, And you need to examine yourself, the Bible says, to make sure that you are8:38 in your most holy faith. This is not the time to play around and live with 1 foot in the world and 1 foot with, the Lord. And we'll talk more about that when we come back.8:51 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus, and that is the mission of Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, to see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.Manifesting God's Blessings 9:03 When you donate to Grace Grace ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States.

We're talking about being blessed and living in the reality of God's blessings. And so many times, the very things that have hurt you in life, that10:05 you've gone through, are the very things that God is calling you to rise up, the things you've been through and have come out the other side, and now you have a testimony of God's goodness and10:17 his faithfulness and all he has done for you. And so many times he's calling you to maybe go and testify, and that's how we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony. And so many people10:29 are gonna need to hear, especially the things that they're if they're dealing with the same issues you have, maybe you've overcome some kind of addiction or you've been through a divorce and it was so difficult and10:41 now God has has restored you. You know, so many people are gonna need to hear from you and God wants to help you be a blessing in the very ways that you have become an10:52 overcomer. And he, again, does not waste anything. And when he tells you to do something, let me just say, the first time you announce something like maybe you're gonna write a book or do something11:04 or step out in faith, everybody's gonna come against you, all the naysayers. And and like I said, when God's very first, I would not be sitting here if God didn't tell me many, many years ago to write11:16 a blog. I did not know what a blog was. I never read a blog. It was not my notion. I had no idea. And then even my son, why are you gonna write a blog? You don't write anything. You know, people are gonna come and11:28 try to talk you out of it and that is the devil trying to steal your seed. If God wants to bless you, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If God told you to do something, and I know that that11:40 was not my notion. I did not I could not have thought that up. I did not know anything about writing. My son helped me set up a blog finally, and then as soon as I started writing, it just started going11:51 everywhere. It just as soon as I hit publish, it went all over the place. And then ministry started picking it up, and a long story short, here we are. And this you had a similar path and that and then we met and God12:04 And and12:04 you just have to believe regardless of what anybody says or what you see. And years, for me, it was 26 years. 2612:16 years that I waited on God. And, and and my husband can testify that I'm not kidding when I tell you the Lord I would say this is what the Lord said, and12:28 I believe it. And and finally, it happened. But it just was like we went to the altar on a Sunday, and I believe that something there was a guest speaker at our12:39 church, and he was prophetic. And I think sometimes for those manifest blessings to come that we're talking about, you need to go get in the presence of God. You need to12:51 find like, seek the Lord. Like, go after God. You know, sometimes you you get weary in well doing, and maybe you don't wanna go to that revival meeting.13:03 Maybe you don't want to be a part of all of that. Maybe you don't wanna get in that bible study. But that morning, my husband and I went down to the altar, and the man there was a guest preacher, and he he we13:14 were going down for my husband's healing, and the Lord did eventually heal him. But let me just say, he spoke over me, and I wasn't even up there for to talk about my13:26 26 years of waiting. But he said change. God is shifting things. God is going going to change things. And that see, it seems like something in heaven just13:38 shifted. Something happened at that moment because by the next day, my destiny was beginning to unfold after all those years. So if13:50 you're stuck, go get unstuck. Go find a revival. Go get in the presence of God. Go show up at praise concerts. Do some things that are14:01 different that you have not been doing to get where you're going next. I am telling you, steep yourself in the in the Holy Spirit.14:11 Seek him with diligence. Exactly. And do something you've never done before. I know recently, just out of the blue, my husband and I decided I I kinda had it pop in my head that we14:23 should go to this other church just for the day. We weren't changing churches, but for some reason, I just felt like we should. And we're we're we're in a transition14:35 period and some things in our lives and and it was interesting because on the way there, I told my husband, I said, I think I think we're supposed to go to the altar. If they have an altar call, I think we're supposed to14:45 go there. And again, this is so out of the ordinary. We had never been to that church. And I think I had only listened to maybe 1 sermon ever that they ever had online. I I it's not a big14:57 part of my life at all or think about it much, but I felt that I needed to do that that morning. And so it was a wonderful sermon that day, and then of course there was an altar call, and we went up there, and there was15:09 a bunch of people that were praying for people. And how random was it that we get this particular woman, does not know us, doesn't know anything about us, and just said praying through, you know, something that, you15:20 know, my husband is dealing with right now. And she had a word that was like it could have been she she would have read all his emails. The stuff that she spoke over him and said for him,15:33 and it was, like, so amazing because God knew where we needed to be that day. And he will order your steps, and that's how you get blessed. And have we seen a15:44 big change or anything happen? No. But we can stand on that word because she was so specific in what was gonna happen. And sometimes it's just that little nudge that God will maybe15:56 give you a word or somebody will call you or you you expect those things, like, to you expect to hear from God and that he will answer you. And, like, again, we haven't seen the fruit16:08 of this. We haven't seen the change of this, but I know that that was so random that we wound up there today and that was just through obedience because I I felt like we should go there that particular16:20 day and we did. And then we were able to get that word that we can go back and remind ourselves of. Remember God said this and there's no way that woman could have known any of16:32 that and yet she said this, we're gonna believe, we're gonna stand on it no matter what happens or no matter how long it seems to be taking. We're gonna know that we're gonna live in the reality of16:44 God's blessings because God is not a man that should lie. And his promises are always yes and amen. No matter what, his promise doesn't say it's gonna happen in a split second and it's gonna be there tomorrow.16:56 So you keep waiting and you keep standing and be blessed in the meantime and bless him in the meantime with praises and thanksgiving no matter what is happening. Praise17:08 him in the storm. Praise him anyway, and that's how you're gonna live in the reality of his blessings and his truths.Overcoming Spiritual Warfare 17:17 Amen. And just, you know, Paul, they used to he used to pray over handkerchiefs and pass them out. I still believe in that. You know, if it's in the bible and17:29 they did it, let's do it. You know, I I have a friend who was dealing with, he needed a healing. He had an inoperable tumor. I had some evangelists pray over this, handkerchief, and I mailed17:41 it to him. And I said, I know you're a Baptist, but this is in the Bible. And, you know what? That was almost a decade ago. He he he he believed it. He didn't have, you know, anything he could17:53 fight with, so he put he put that handkerchief on there, and he believed and I believe. And, you know, that tumor is just sitting there. I still believe God's gonna completely heal it, and it's gonna be manifest, it's18:04 gonna be gone, but here we are. You know, all these years later, God is a faithful God, and he wants to manifest his blessings in your life. We're gonna talk more about that when we come18:16 back.18:17 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, to see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ. When18:29 you donate to Grace Grace ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States. The Bible says that when we help the least, the forgotten and the overlooked,18:41 we have done something for Jesus himself. Will you be a part of what God is doing to help those in need and those who are hungry to hear the real message of Jesus? Give today by logging on to18:53 nainaandmichelle dot com or text the word give to 3 2 5 6 0 3 3 3 5 4. You can also send in a check to 63 15 b FM 14 88 road number19:05 1 22 Magnolia, Texas 77354. Grace Grace ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission today.19:16 Give now.19:19 Welcome back to watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we're talking about being blessed and living in the reality of God's blessings. And, you know, the minute you're gonna step out in faith and do something19:29 new for the Lord, you know, you can expect some ground shaking, especially if you're doing something for the Lord. The devil is not going to like it. But we're here to tell you do not give up, do not give in, do not19:40 listen to that. You have to know that that's the devil who doesn't want you serving the Lord, who doesn't want you to be blessed, and doesn't want you to live in the reality of God's blessing. And I heard this story 119:51 time about these these ants. And if you put in a jar, if you put black ants and red ants together in a jar, they will just live in peace and be all fine. Nobody will20:03 fight with each other, they'll just carry on and live like nothing happened. But if you take that jar and you shake it violently and set it back down, the black ants will try to kill the red ants and the red20:15 ants will try to kill the black ants and they think they're each other's enemies. And you know, who's the they'll think that each other have shaken the jar or caused all of this turmoil in their lives, when20:27 really, who is the enemy here? The 1 who shook the jar. And so, we have to think about what the devil, he's always trying to rattle our cage, he's always trying to shake our jar, he's always trying to20:39 get us off the path that God has for us, he's gonna throw in the distraction, he's gonna throw in the negative phone call, he's gonna throw in, you know, the the side tracking20:50 of what we have to do. Everything will will will tear you off of the the plan of God, but that's because you typically that you you'll need to know that's where you should be.21:01 There's going to be warfare if you're doing something for the Lord. That is a promise. It's just gonna happen. And Thursday, I went to an event in Dallas, and21:13 it was a, you know, a god ordained event, you know, and it was important. And we were on the seventeenth floor of this beautiful place, and it was all glass.21:25 And let me just say, all of a sudden, the tornado alarms started going off. The people that were in charge of the place were like, you're gonna have we might have to21:37 evacuate. The sirens were so loud and there were there you could see because it was all glass and we were on the seventeenth floor, like, just torrential rain21:49 and there were reports of baseball sized hail and we're thinking how are people even gonna show up to this event?21:56 Oh, yeah.21:56 Right? Because it was right before. But you know what? We just kept getting ready. We just kept preparing and, and and just bracing ourself for the event, and and we just ignored22:09 all of those things. They didn't tell us we had to evacuate, so we didn't. We would have had they told us to, but we just kept we just acted like we have to ignore the storm. We're going to22:21 break through with this event, and it was an amazing event. God was there. And I just really believe that that was just an example of occupy until I come.22:31 Mhmm.22:31 You know, the Bible talks about in the last days, and there are a lot of things that go on in the last days that that, you know, wars and rumors of wars and, famine and earthquakes and22:43 hurricanes and all these things, but the Bible says occupy anyway. Mhmm. Work while it is still day because there's going to become a time there's going to come a time when you're not gonna be able to work. You're22:55 not gonna be able to witness. So get it done now and ignore the enemy. Whatever the lord has told you to do, do it. Yeah. Do it. And don't be afraid of the sirens and the golf ball sized23:07 hail. Don't just keep working and just keep ignoring that because to me, that's that's the success that you'll find in ministry. The most successful ministers have to ignore the devil. It's23:18 true.23:19 And it's constant and we we we have people that intercede for us and pray for us when we're gonna film. We've seen so many things happen so weak when we know that we're filming. There's it seems like the devil wants to23:31 thwart everything we're trying to do, but that's how we know we're in the right place because nothing can stop what God ordains. And if you just keep keep on keeping on, you just pray, and and it's23:42 very helpful to have an accountability partner, somebody that believes like you, that will pray with you and stand in agreement with you because when we're it is we we say the table23:54 tennis of trials many times because what we're doing, but23:58 You have to be good friends enough to call each other out.24:01 Trust.24:01 Because she'll call me out. I'll call her out.24:03 Yes.24:03 I mean, she's practically perfect, but sometimes we have to call24:07 each24:07 other out. We can say24:08 I can also confess. I can say, oh, I'm I'm feeling this way. I'm so mad right now or I have this unforgiveness right now. And I know And your permanent damage done. Yes. And she's not gonna judge me. She's gonna pray24:20 with me and vice versa because that's the thing. When 2 or more gather in believing and having that accountability so that we don't keep going down that path. If you if you, you know, we wanna before24:32 we'll complain or get in. We need prayer for this. We we need this. And before long, we're praying so hard and and and just asking the Lord to forgive us and that we would be in the right place to move forward so24:43 that we can be a blessing, that we can receive God's blessings in order to be a blessing to other people. And so get an accountability, get some partner, get somebody who's gonna pray with you and believe with you24:55 and not negate your prayers, not tell you it's not gonna happen. Somebody that's gonna believe the word of God just like you. Yes. Should we pray, Michelle?25:04 Yes. And find somebody who's mature in their faith.25:07 Yes. You25:07 know? Lord, I thank you. We're gonna pray right now that God is gonna manifest his blessings in your life and and bring prayers to fruition. God, we right now, we come before25:19 your throne. We reach into heaven for all those blessings, all those prayers that were prayed. We you said with 1 word, your word, you can you can bless. And so, god, we25:31 speak that you will command a blessing on every person that is coming into agreement right now, that you will manifest their dreams that you birthed in their hearts. We say, thy kingdom come,25:43 thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We grab into heaven right now in Jesus' name, and we ask you to bring out to to manifest those prayer requests, those blessings25:56 right now in Jesus' mighty name. We thank you in advance.26:00 Amen. Amen. God is so good and so powerful. So thank you for joining us today on the broadcast. You can follow us on social media. We also have a couple of podcasts.

Love you.Faith and Science: A Harmonious Relationship 26:28 Does science disprove God?26:30 Is there a war between science and faith?26:33 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational. Is there no evidence for God? Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore26:45 reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.26:56 Our RDOF uses logic and reasoning.26:59 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:03 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:14 Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check27:29 out r d o f dot org.27:31 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming. Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable. We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe27:43 in the existence of God.27:45 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:50 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man.
