God's Unfinished Work in You 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.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. We're so glad you joined us. Today, we're gonna be talking about how God is not finished with you yet. He's not finished with any of us. And, you know,1:07 I I think so many times lately, I'm hearing over and over again that people are are kind of, like, losing hope and they think that, you know, there's just nothing left for them anymore to do1:19 or God's not there with them anymore, or they're just just so discouraged. And so we want to encourage you today that it's just the beginning. If you are here still on this earth, you are here1:31 for such a time as this, and God has got a plan and a purpose for your life, and it is so far from being over. He is not finished with you yet, and we're gonna talk all about that today because his plans1:43 are so much better than anything you could ask or think. So it's time to get encouraged, encourage yourself in the Lord, and we're gonna talk that today and get you guys1:52 back with filled with hope. Amen. And I mean, how many1:56 of us, Nina, have ever felt like, well, my best days are behind me. Oh, you know, this is this is it. I really blew it this time. Like, it's all over now.2:08 Have you ever felt that way?2:10 Have I? Well, you know, seriously, you're you're my my BFF. You know, you've heard the phone calls and vice versa. So, you know, we're we're preaching to ourselves today too, that's for sure. So, but,2:22 you know, do you ever think about this? Like, I was laughing to myself the other day reading some of the Psalms because, you know, David wrote most of them, and he is the big worshiper, and he created the2:33 instruments and all those things. But you heard him even say, you know, that he would be, you know, everything's terrible and then strum on his harp, And everything is a horrible mess and Lord, you know,2:45 like tear out their teeth. Strum strum strum on the harp. Like he would like go write a poem about it. Like here he was this powerful warrior, like think about him, like Rambo, like the stuff stuff he went through and2:57 the wars and everything, and yet here he would be like, tear out their fangs and tear out their teeth and that they smite me and then strum strum strum dancing before the Lord. I mean, that's I mean, there is3:09 everyone in the Bible we know have had discouragement in rough times. I mean, you can go through every single person. Look at Joseph and Paul. But if you think about it, it was there's a3:20 season for that. And then get up. Get yourself cleaned up. You know, get the tears going. Start encouraging yourself in the Lord. And 1 of the best things3:33 is to find somebody that needs something. No idea for going through it. Get out of your own mind, your own space, your own headspace, and go be a blessing. Invite somebody to lunch.3:45 Call somebody. Bless somebody in some way, and get your mind off yourself. That's a huge way to kind of encourage yourself.3:55 Well, I I think talking about David, you know, he's the king of this. I mean, he he was a king, and he was a king of he could have thought at any moment that his best days were behind him. I mean, think4:07 about it. As a teenager, he killed Goliath. Yeah. So could have been the pinnacle of David's life. Right? But it wasn't. I mean, when he was, you know, walking with the ark4:19 and they you know, someone touched it, Uzziah touched it, and he absolutely was mad at the Lord because how4:31 did you kill this man because he did not respect and have an awe of the presence of God? So he could have thought then. Right? He could have thought that when his son4:42 started acting like he was gonna take over the throne, Absalom, and then Absalom died hung by his hair. Yep. He could have thought his best days were behind4:54 him, and yet we I I just read this last week about Solomon. You know, God's word promised that David would always have someone Yes.5:06 Reign on the throne. The faithfulness of God to do that for a man that messed up over and over and over again, and I didn't even talk about Bathsheba where he had her5:18 husband killed, you know, I mean5:20 He put a hit5:21 on it. Could have 100 percent said my best days are behind me. I have blown it. But God was faithful to him, and when I was reading about the temple, his own5:33 son Solomon got to build the temple. And all throughout that chapter, I am undone when I read it because I just think, god, you're5:45 so faithful to David. You're so faithful to perform your word. How? How is it that you're so faithful to a man who was not perfect? You know what5:56 David was? He was a man after God's own heart. Amen. And that's what we need to do. We we cannot give up. We have to know our best days are ahead of us no matter what we're gonna go through on the6:08 earth because our heavenly days are ahead of us. So no matter what, our best days are ahead.6:14 It it it's always out ahead of us. And if you think about 1 of the things is to really stop trying to fit into a world that never really will fit6:26 you. Because once you are saved, once you are born again, take the whole world and give me Jesus. And so a lot of the things that people go through are trying to fit into6:38 a world that is really what you're not about anymore. Like, have you noticed that? Like, it's like for me Yeah. Sometimes I just think, you know, once we give that up and say, I don't care about these things. This is not6:49 this is not my concern. Am I good with God? And he knows on our on our best days, we're we're as filthy rags and we blow it all the time. But that isn't a surprise to God. He's7:01 made us. And sometimes the personality that you have in there that causes you to rise up and get things done or maybe maybe, you you know, for we always talk about justice. I'm all about justice and all of7:13 those things. Some of those things that that are are the very things God put in you for such a time as this. Right. And so you your best days are ahead, like you said, you have not blown it. You you are not7:25 that powerful to just do too much wrong that God can't use you. That is that is, you know, acting like you're in charge of that and you're not. It's I'm glad that we're not that powerful. No7:37 kidding. Because, you know, we when you start walking every day seeking him first, asking him to order every step you take, laying it all down, say, I I I just7:49 just Lord, take my life and do something with it for your kingdom. And when we all get about doing the father's business, you know, even if it's just a random act of kindness,8:00 if every 1 of us do you know how many Christians there are in the world? If we all just started with that, instead of our grumbling and our fault finding and our complaining, we will see transformation.8:13 Amen. And I think we'll see8:14 the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. That's what the Bible says. Yes. We will see the goodness of the Lord. So expect that. Expect to see the goodness of the lord. We are his, and we8:26 are not objects of his wrath. He loves us. Yes. He may discipline us for a season, but it is only for our good, and your best days are still ahead8:38 if you're willing to obey the lord. And we'll talk more about that when we come back.8:44 When I started MyPillow, it was just a problem solution, 1 product company.

I am excited to tell you that you have not blown it. We are believing that your best days are ahead.9:55 And you know what I think, Nina, is the number 1 thing about your best days are ahead? Are we willing to obey God? How much are we10:07 willing to obey God? Really? Like are you gonna just be 1 of these Christians that goes to church, that checks the boxes, that reads the Bible, you listen every now and then you listen to10:19 some praise music, and sometimes even raise your hands. But you know what? We have to obey. We cannot go through empty forms of religion.10:31 We have to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit.10:35 Yeah.10:35 How do we10:36 hear it? Well, so many people know who Jesus is, but they don't know Jesus. And there is a big difference. Like you're saying, like if you go to church and maybe you have this checklist10:48 of prayers that you repeat, but if how would that be if that was the dialogue with your spouse or your kids? If you just repeated the same, like, little11:00 mantras or prayers. And I'm not saying that's wrong to, you know, we we are constantly repeating scriptures and things like that. But sometimes, like, you might say the Lord's Prayer. And you know that prayer since you11:11 were this big. And do you even stop line by line and go through it and think about what it actually says or do you just rattle it off? You know, we're the thing about about having a11:22 relationship with someone, if God's not finished with you yet and he has so much yet in store for you, then sit with him and ask him, what are we doing next? Where do you11:34 want me to go? What should I be doing? And you'll start to get those inclinations about, you know, maybe he'll lead you to a scripture or lead you to go to some meeting or some prayer conference or whatever it would be.11:46 And or maybe he's just leading you to telephone somebody or call call a friend or or to pray for somebody. He is using you every day even if you you don't even realize it. You know, just11:58 just in your own prayer time, if you have a prayer, even prayers right now for our nation. Mhmm. Our nation's in big trouble. And we we need to The world is in big trouble. The entire world. And12:10 and that to be an intercessor for the things that are going on, if all of us together as the body of Christ were able to all be praying every12:22 day, set your alarm and say a prayer for the nation, and for for for God's will to be done in the nation and for him not to be kicked out of everything in our nation anymore. But12:33 to to have his way here in our nation and in the world, Do you can you imagine what the army of believers could accomplish? And and so he's got those things in store12:45 for you. He is not finished with you yet. And so that's where when it comes from just really seeking him and getting in that place where you just, Lord, what? What what use12:57 me. Take it all.12:59 Amen. And and I think, like,13:01 I think 1 thing with, you know, feeling like you're finished, like God is finished with you because you've done too many things wrong, or you're just tired. Maybe you're weary in well13:13 doing, and you think, I'm just so tired. I I don't know how I can do 1 more thing. And and and you've begun to go through the motions of serving the Lord. You know,13:25 I think that there are scriptures in the Bible that would lead us back to feeling refreshed and to knowing that God isn't finished with us. Number 1, we13:37 forsake not the assembling. I say that all the time because it's so true.13:41 It is very true.13:42 Number 2, practice hospitality. The Bible talks about practicing hospitality. When was the last time we had people over to our homes? Or I don't care where you13:54 live. Invite someone out to dinner. Like practice hospitality. Think about what can I do today that would bless somebody else? Do you have someone who is14:05 sick in your life? You know, maybe bring them a meal. Do you know people don't do that as much as they used to. You know, I mean, honestly, like when I had my children, I14:17 had every kind of casserole you could even imagine. I didn't even know that you can make that many casseroles, you know. But as we have, gotten along in time,14:29 the church doesn't gather as much on the side as they used to, or at least most churches. If you're in a church that does, God bless you, stick with them.14:39 Do you know what's happened, I think, in in this regard? If you think about like you and I both grew up and lived by our whole families for many many years. And I think14:51 nowadays people are very transient, and people don't have that whole opportunity to live with your whole extended family nearby. And and, you know, we had that growing up. But then also,15:04 the phones. People are so distracted. Like, you go to a restaurant and people aren't having conversations. They're all sitting there on their phones and all their kids have a phone and an iPad. And and, you know, and I15:15 think that that has ruined so many things. And I and I think that if we got back to some of the basics, like real conversations, and and even if you can't if you're gonna use your phone, FaceTime some15:27 family that you don't live by.15:29 Well, exactly. And put your make it a practice in your household to put your put your phone down. We we try to do that in our family, you know, when we're having a meal.15:41 We talk about hang up and hang out, you know. Yeah. Make sure that you are, you know and my my girls always say we we sometimes will FaceTime each other. My I15:52 have 2 girls, and a son, but the girls will FaceTime and they'll say it's high time for some I time. And so that's our our big thing. We say together it's silly, but16:05 it makes people feel connected when you have the, the heart to sit down and listen to their stories. It16:16 lets them know they're important. It lets them know that there's hope. I remember when we went to Africa there How could we forget? How could we forget?16:26 We we That was quite a trip.16:28 Crazy because we're we're like looking out in a in a hot air balloon and looking down on Wild Kingdom basically, but it was real.16:40 Migration. Yes. Migration. And and, you know, we saw some lions, and then there's 1 animal that's not16:48 a lion, and he's alone. And I'm thinking, you're16:52 a goner. Because you're isolated. You're not with the herd. Get with the herd. God made us herd people, and we need to make sure that we are17:04 in fellowship. It's a sweet fellowship. The Bible says, how do you know that you're a Christian? By your love for 1 another. Yes. If if you're too grumpy to hang out with17:15 others, really, you need to get with the Lord, and you need to make yourself do it. Do it out of obedience to the word, and I believe that that'll help your best days to be in.17:26 Yes. Hallelujah. That's good. We are gonna come right back and talk more about that. God isn't finished with you yet. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:36 When I started MyPillow, it was just a problem solution, 1 product company. Well, since then, with the help of my dedicated employees, we now have hundreds of products, some you might not even17:48 know about. To get the word out, we're having a 25 dollar extravaganza, My pillow sandals, 2518:00 dollars. And for the first time ever, our 6 pack towel sets, you guessed it, just 25 dollars. Our brand new 4 pack dish towels, 25 dollars. And I've18:12 never done this before. Premium MyPillows with all new Giza fabric, any size, any loft level, even king-size for only 25 dollars, and there's so much more. So18:23 go to my pillow dot com or call the number on your screen. Use your promo code for our 25 dollar extravaganza. Order 75 dollars and over. Your entire order ships absolutely18:35 free.18:36 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. Just wanting you all to know today that God is not finished with you yet. He still has a plan for your life, and, you know, his mercy and his kindness18:48 endure forever no matter what. And, you know, that is in Psalm 1 36. And do you know that there's 26 verses in that Psalm, and every single verse19:01 contains the words, his loving kindness and grace endure forever. His mercy and grace endure forever. His his love never fails. And depending on what version of the Bible you're reading, he is19:13 reminding you that over and over and over again. God is love. God is mercy. God is kindness. God has a plan for you. You have not blown it. And you know when so many19:25 things that people are dealing with really is just your mind And and really the thoughts, this is this is so key is because even if you're thinking right now, that thought that19:36 you've blown in and it's too late and you've done too much wrong, is your thought that and where does that come from? Because God isn't saying that to you. And so once we get our minds under control, God19:48 said in his word that we're to have a sound mind. And so you can talk yourself happy. You can cast those thoughts and imaginations down that are not of the Lord and say,20:00 no, God has given he he wouldn't say that to me. He's given me a sound mind. It is not too late. And then everything that your mind is telling you, you answer that with the promises in the20:12 Bible for that. Like, no, with a long healthy life, I shall live. No, my children are all coming back. No, you know, the the God is it can save, you know, in a day, he can change20:23 everything in a day. Just look what happened with the Red Sea. You know, anything can change when you absolutely start believing in faith for God to move on your behalf, and you start20:35 encouraging yourself in the Lord. Get your harp out like David. Get your harp out. Start strumming.20:41 It's so funny that when you're talking about the Psalms and David and what he prayed, I usually think about Nina because she does pray justice prayers, but she tries not to.20:53 So it's so funny. I do what? Pray those justice20:56 prayers. I20:58 know. But sometimes we are both praying, you know, tear the teeth out, you know, but we're just talking about their21:05 ability It's what the word says.21:06 Yeah. It does. We're just quoting the word, but I when I read those, I I usually think about you. So just to just to let you know, you're in my morning devotional time with the Lord sometimes, and21:18 I'm kind of laughing to myself. But, you know, the Lord is so faithful when we cry out to him. Amen. And and as long as we cry out, he's just as21:30 close as the mention of his name. What have you done that could be so powerful that it would overpower the blood that was shed21:42 by the king of kings and the lord of lords Jesus Christ? Nothing. Nothing. You have done nothing Exactly. That could compete with the blood. So think about it. Like if you21:54 whatever it is, if the enemy's reminding you of your past, you can remind him of his future, but also remind him of the blood that was shed for you so that22:06 you could walk in righteousness and so that you could walk in peace and in hope. Yeah. You know? You need hope. You need to remember that22:18 God's plans for you are good. They're not evil. They are for a hope and a future. So if God's word says that, your best days are ahead, so let's22:30 take him at his word.22:31 Well and and here's the thing. The Bible says that before we ever lived a day, he wrote our stories. He it's from start to finish, he's the author and the finisher of our22:43 faith, and he has not changed his mind. You know why? Because he what he wrote was perfect in the first place. God didn't say, oh, my bad. I I screwed that 1 up. They're just not good22:55 enough to do that plan. I'll get him a new 1. That is not him, that is not his heart and so every day say your plan, what you wrote for me in that book, I want that today.23:07 What do you have on my page, 387000? Whatever page you're on in this book that he wrote for you, ask for that. Say, you know, show me, order my steps, and let me live this out23:18 and and and move according to what your will says for my life. That's what I want. Take the whole rest of the world and give me Jesus and ask the Holy Spirit. Just say Holy Spirit, be23:30 present in my life today. Lead me, guide me, and show me. And I promise you he will because he is restoring you today. He is giving you a hope and a future and just23:42 start speaking life over your life and your situation and say, I know God's plans will prevail. And we're gonna pray about this right now, that your hope would be restored23:53 and renewed. Amen.23:56 The first hope is if you know Jesus, let's ask the Lord into our hearts. If we don't if you don't know the Lord, will you pray with me right now? And let's get that24:08 straight first, so that your best days really will be ahead. Amen. So let pray with me. Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross. Thank24:20 you for for forgiving me of my sins. I confess my sin. I ask you to forgive me. I make you the lord of my life,24:32 and I will listen for your voice, and I will obey it for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. I thank you now, Lord, for every person that24:44 is messed up. I we ask you to forgive our sins, Lord. Wash us, Lord, from all unrighteousness. Take out our iniquity. Your word says that you were bruised for our24:55 iniquity. That's an inside bleed for an inside sin, Lord. We ask you, Lord, that the you know the thoughts of our heart, whatever it is, we ask that you cleanse us,25:07 renew us, make our lives better than ever before. Let us hit the bull's eye, though, of what your original plan was, god.25:19 Your word says we will be a polished arrow in the hands of the Lord. We pray this in Jesus' name.25:26 Amen. Amen. Powerful. And so we hope that that brings you hope. If if you want to learn more or to just get encouraged daily, you can follow us on social media. We25:38 have daily devotions there every day.

There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:27 Is there no evidence for God?26:29 Am I delusional for my beliefs?26:31 It It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed?

I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man. The27:52 appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.
