Living in God's Favor 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.0:56 I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Today, we're gonna talk about how you should be living in God's favor now. Now don't waste a minute. God's1:08 got so much in store for you, his abundant favor. And you know what I noticed, Michelle, is when, you know, researching for this show, so many of God's scriptures, when they're talking about favor,1:20 they also talk about the blessing. And those 2 are so connected. God's favor and blessings are on your life. And so we're gonna talk about that because I don't even think many of1:31 us followers and believers know all that the favor of God entails in our lives, you know. And there's this prayer that I say every day, every morning, every night. I send it1:43 to my kids. I just kind of started adding things to it, and so now it's kind of become my prayer. But I like to say the blessing because the power the Bible says that the blessing and the favor of God is an1:55 empowerment. It's an empowerment on my life. So I like to say, you know, that the blessing and favor of God is an empowerment on my life, and it's causing me to multiply, increase, excel,2:08 heal, and and to succeed in every area of our lives. And I always say that it causes me to rise up above anything and everything that attempts to hold me back or2:20 keep me down. And then I go on and I say, okay, that this is gonna open doors for me. The favor and blessing of God is gonna open doors for me, my family. It's gonna close the wrong doors. It's gonna rearrange rules,2:31 regulations on policies on my behalf. Bring unusual supernatural and extraordinary anointed appointments in my life. I just keep going and I just keep declaring that favor2:43 because if God's word says we can have it, we can have it. And we need to be speaking those things. And I'll say all that before I even hit the floor in the morning. I'll pray it over my kids, my husband, and and then we2:55 say it again before we go to bed at night because I've seen this work in my life. I've seen this. And I started to say to my husband, you know, I used to walk in favor a lot. Like, I used to, like,3:07 talk about this and say this. And sometimes you get so bogged down in the things of the world that you forget about what's available to you.3:16 Oh, I love that. That that is a great word. Well, when you receive Jesus as your personal savior, you receive the grace of God and you become clothed with divine favor.3:28 And I love that. It says, surely, Lord, you bless the righteous. You surround them with your favor as a shield. That's in Psalm 5 12. And3:39 I absolutely love that scripture. And and, you know, you should always ask the Lord for his divine favor because you never know. I I remember, a time whenever I3:51 was stuck at LaGuardia Airport in the middle of the night, and I needed to be at a meeting first thing in the morning. And I mean, it was such an important meeting, or at least I thought it was4:03 important, you know. And and what is important to us is important to the Lord. Now I know our steps are ordered of the Lord, so I was willing to submit to his will to however he wanted to roll that thing4:15 out. But I kept going from, you know, agent to agent asking them to help me to get another flight. I was stuck there. And4:28 they finally just said, you're just gonna have to go get your suitcase. And I mean, it was the middle of the night. And so I went, I got my suitcase, and I, you know, I was gonna have to try to find a hotel4:39 room and find another flight, missed the meeting. So I go to get my suitcase from this man. I did not tell him my story. And he looks at me and he4:51 says, when you pray, the Lord moves heaven and earth to get you what you are asking him for. And he said,5:03 I will find you another flight. And he did. So all he said, all you're gonna have to do is go back through security with your suitcase. Can you do that? And I said, I'm in.5:15 And I made it to my meeting. It was just like another example of the Lord's favor surrounds you like a shield. Now I could have walked back I mean, I've had bad5:27 airport stories, you know, but I just feel like that was a time when the Lord's favor surrounded me like a shield and just5:35 1 of my, like, personal examples of that. He perfects every concern. And, you know, I I've seen him, you know and and when we give him the credit, when you acknowledge that was5:47 you, that was you, God, that was your favor, that was your favor all my life. I just know it. That was that was favor, that was the favor. Yeah. And and now I find myself saying that so much because I'm training, I'm5:59 retraining myself because I know that the past few years have been really difficult on everyone with the with the COVID, the pandemic, and the craziness of the world. And, you know, we can be6:11 you know, I know personally, you know, my family has gone through some things. And I just I just feel like, you know, you can get so bogged down with the cares of the world that we forget who we6:22 are and what we carry and what we walk in and the anointing that we have and the favor that comes with that because we are the seed of Abraham. And the Bible says that God's says6:34 that that he's eager to bless us, that that the seed of Abraham and the covenant of Abraham is on our lives, and that he is eager to bless us, and Abraham's blessings are ours. And that's,6:46 again, the favor and the blessings that were on his life are on our lives. And what did he do? He obeyed. He listened to God. He followed him off the map when he didn't even know6:58 where he was going. And so I thought, I want I want that because, you know, even if you prolong your obedience, even if you put off what God's asking you to do, that's still disobedience.7:11 Because if God's calling you to do something now, if God's got something for you to do, lay down something to to put away, something to, you know, turn away from, he wants to lavish7:22 his favor and his blessings upon you, and he's just waiting on you. He wants you to obey him and lay these things down and and just get under that that favor blessing, that7:34 anointing that he has for you to start moving mountains like he did for you in that time. And in ministry, we have seen a lot of that. We have seen God, you know, give us upgrades, change7:46 things for us.7:47 Time we were at the Gaylord Hotel, and they were like, are you guys best friends? Yeah. And we were like, you get an upper you're getting an upgrade.7:55 Crazy. They gave us a rock star room.7:57 It was like a house.7:59 It had, like, bedrooms and living rooms and, like, put on our little ministry budget. There. Yes. That really, like, we're we're, like, you know, on our little ministry budget. Like, and they just gave us this whole big8:11 like, it it didn't make any sense, but you could see Jesus all over the girl who did that for us. Like, it's precious. And and God just will will give you heavenly upgrades and rearrange things, you know,8:23 for you because he's got he wants you to be blessed like any parent wants to bless their children. So we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. Stay right there.

We are talking about walking in the favor of God right now. And I love the story of Joseph.9:53 Now he he had some really high highs with favor and some really low lows. So, you know, it it sort of paces, you know, and tracks the way our lives track sometimes.10:05 Because sometimes, you know, people hate us because of Jesus, and sometimes they love us because of Jesus. And, I think about Joseph and even with10:17 his own father, he was the favorite. He got the coat of many colors. However, that caused the brothers to be jealous, so they sold him into slavery. Right? And what happens? 1 of his10:28 brothers say, oh, maybe we shouldn't kill him. You know, so he sold them into slavery. Right? So that's that was his good brother that did that. Can you imagine? We feel sorry for ourselves. Joseph's good10:40 brother sold him10:41 into slavery.10:42 And then he ends up, a slave in Potiphar's house. And Potiphar loved Joseph. He thought he was wonderful. He had the favor. Joseph had the favor of God. He was doing great. He gave he put him10:54 in control of everything in that household because he had the favor of God. And, you know, here he was away from his dad. His dad thought he was dead. His brothers thought he was dead. Most of them except for the 1. And11:06 then, Potiphar's wife put a hit out on him. You know, she wanted she she decided, you know, that she she wanted to sleep with him. So he said, of course,11:18 I would never do that wicked thing. Now see, favor, he could have lost all of that in that 1 little transaction. You know, temptation can cause us to get off track with our11:30 destiny, and the favor of God was still on his life, but guess what? Back to low. He ends up in prison and guess what happens in prison?11:42 Favor. Favor. He you know, they start putting him in charge of things and he begins to interpret dreams until finally he stands before a king, and all11:53 the while he's walking in favor and ends up in 1 day interpreting a dream and basically becoming second in command over the most powerful kingdom12:06 on the planet at the time. It was all about God, it was all about favor, it was all about God's destiny, integrity, but he walked in integrity, Joseph12:18 did, he walked in the favor of God, and I am so amazed that, you know, through his favor he saved his own brothers, forgave them,12:30 fed his family, the children of Israel, and I mean what a story right? But that's a story of God's favor on Joseph's life.12:39 An anointing. So there's an anointing that goes with God's favor and you know I love this scripture it says, in the time of my favor, that's the Kairos timing of God, in the I12:51 heard you and in the day of salvation, I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor. Now is the day of salvation. And that's second Corinthians 6 2. And you think about13:03 now because God's ready. He's got it all. He wants to anoint you and appoint you. He wants to open doors for you. He wants you to go out there and have and do and be and live and13:15 move in every way for him, through him, with him. And his favor will open those doors and lead the way. And, you know, I know, like, just recently, my kids were13:26 at a meeting, and, you know, they were getting in an elevator, and there was somebody. It was a divine appointment set up randomly in this elevator that, you know, would bless them. It was a13:38 business meeting that they had wanted or wanted to talk to these particular people. And there it was. It's just a divine open door and an anointing. And I know even in my own life, you know, when I think about13:50 how God can the the Kairos timing, when I was years ago going and and you walked me through this years ago going through such a very, very difficult divorce, it was very14:02 diabolical. It was crazy. And all of a sudden, in the midst of this, I had gotten this this this letter or that from the IRS that was just a crazy, crazy that I I didn't14:14 realize or know what my ex husband had had been doing. And and and they said that I owed all of this, and we're in the middle of this divorce. And the lawyers14:26 said right then and there that that would take another 2 years just to settle that, just to settle the IRS portion of things before I could get on with the rest and and get on14:38 with the divorce. And I was just I remember just crying. I was on my face going, this is impossible. I don't want to I I I just just take the whole thing. I quit getting divorced. Remember, I was just like, I can't do14:49 this anymore. I don't wanna do this anymore. But I remember getting some prayer warriors, and you, you know, just walking me through this going, alright, God. There's 9 more days. Alright. You know, it's 10 more days14:59 until we could mediate. 10 more days that I could have been done with that divorce and that that IRS situation came up. And I was praying, you have 9 more days, Lord. Settle this. You have 8 more days. Like, I was just I15:09 knew he could do anything. And then my lawyer called me and he goes, are you sitting down? I would send scriptures to my lawyers. This is what we're standing on today. This is what the Lord said today. He says, I am a15:18 just God, and I will settle and solve the cases of my people. That's his favor. And then they call me and they go, the IRS called us back and your innocent spouse, it all goes back to him with a penalty15:30 and all these things in your and the the the lawyer's going, this does not ever happen. There's a weekend in there even that how it got to the top of the pile completely read, completely settled, and15:42 completely sent back to us is nothing short of a miracle. But I'm telling you, that's how he does things. His Kairos timing, 2 years aren't God's timing. And it says a thousand years is a day and a day is a thousand15:54 years. He can do anything in a split second. He can cause you to be at the right place at the right time. Can he can rearrange rules, regulations, and policies on your behalf. He can just bring whoever you16:06 need to be part of what you need in your life. He can he can cause the Holy Spirit to bring you to mind as somebody important that needs to be part of your calling or your future. God is such aEmbracing God's Favor and Salvation 16:17 favor minded God. He wants you blessed, and it's you can walk in that favor and that anointing every day if you just know about it, know how to receive it, and speak it into your16:29 own life.16:31 I love that. And I think about, 1 of our friends who lives in Jerusalem. And we hadn't seen him in a year and a half or 2 years. Yep. And we were in16:43 Washington DC and we look over and we were like, look who it is. It's here. Wow. It was a huge crowd. We were like, no way. And so we were like, what is it that the that the Lord16:54 is doing in your life? And we were able can you believe I mean here he was from Jerusalem. We live in Houston. We were able to collaborate17:07 and do something for the Lord in Washington DC. We didn't know he was going to be there. He didn't know we were gonna be there, and it was shocking that we even bumped into 1 another. But it17:19 was the favor of God collaborating to do his great plan. And when we come back, we're gonna talk more about that.17:28 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. When17:40 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,17:52 we have done something for Jesus himself. Will you be a part of what God is doing to help those in in need and those who are hungering to hear the real message of Jesus? Give today by logging on to18:03 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, number 118:15 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. Give18:27 now.18:30 Welcome back. You are watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, and we are talking about God's favor and, you know, his favor being right now right now in your life. And, you know, we were just talking about, you18:41 know, meeting our friend in DC. And it was it was it was just such an anointed time because we were able to also say, you know, how can we help you? He has a ministry, and he's he he18:53 he's, you know, just does some amazing things in Israel. And he literally told us, you know, that he had a need of what, you know, they were asking for. And literally,19:04 we were able to meet it. We found someone who wanted to do that.19:08 That's impossible. It's impossible. But just think about that 1 split second of time where where Kairos19:17 We would be19:18 him as anointed and appointed. And you think I I read this the other day and it says, all it takes is 1 moment of God's favor and God can flip it, turn it, release it, mix it, reverse it, approve it, do it, increase19:29 it, and red see it up in your life. And I just thought, that's a rap song. You can just but, you know, don't we all need that. We all want them to flip it, reverse it, turn it, deliver us, make it all happen. But19:41 when you obey God, that's what he can do for you. That's what he can do in your life. He wants to give you that. And so when you start saying that was him, that's his favor. Ask for it. Pray for it. But19:53 here's the but. Stop declaring the problem. Stop declaring the problem. Don't pray for favor. Don't say I need this and this. And and, Lord, make this happen. Do this. Deliver, heal,20:05 whatever you need, and then go speak the problem. You speak nothing but God's favor. You say I know it's coming. I maybe I maybe don't feel it right now, but but faith is in what I cannot see. I20:17 know God's moving behind the scenes. I forbid, deny, and refuse access of these things in my body. I forbid and deny, refuse access of all this in my family or whatever it is you need. And20:29 you stop speaking even if you see it go from bad to worse after you prayed. You still say, I know you're working on it. I know you've got this because so many times the devil's waiting right there and he wants20:41 to steal your seed. The minute you've planted a seed in prayer or a deck, you've decreed it and you've you've declared this victory, He wants to come in and say it's never gonna happen.20:53 It's too late. Oh, now the symptom got worse or now I just saw my kid act out worse or the report at the for your finances or whatever it is. God has it and it's always21:04 darkest before dawn, so be so careful because the devil wants to steal that seed right before you're gonna get blessed. He wants you to just start speaking what he's spewing, the lie and the whisper that he's thrown in21:16 your ear because he wants you to miss out on that favor and that blessing. So always be so mindful of that and don't fall for that bait when you start to hear that whisper.21:27 That's that's a great word. And and and also remember, you have not because you ask not. And you need to ask the Lord for favor. Ask the Lord for his anointing. Ask the Lord for divine appointments.21:39 And also talking about that trip to DC, we went for Grace Grace and to to report to our audience what was happening in DC. It was a great time of prayer21:51 and ministry in the the nation's capital, and so we Nina got us some press passes. We got back there, and we were gonna represent the audience of Grace Grace22:03 and, you know, we're, you know, we're just 1 of many ministries that were back there. And, all of a sudden, I just ran into my friend. And I said, what are you doing? And she goes,22:14 well, I had a friend, she got sick, and she asked me to be here. And she said, so, you know, I'm the gatekeeper for who gets an interview. Who do you wanna interview? And so22:26 we started Everyone. We want we want the main people that are here. Jonathan Khan, we want22:32 it we want it Thorboe, Danny Gokhie.22:34 All of them. She goes, okay. So it'll be the 2 networks that are here, then 9 m Michelle.22:40 And we interviewed all of those people. That's crazy. They prayed for our viewers. And, you know, we've said from the beginning that this whole ministry, our show, everything about it has been God. He has made it22:52 happen. He's given us such favor. We the way it even started, the way we even met, everything has been God. It's been his favor on it all because we give it all to him. It's not us. It's not our ministry.23:04 It is all his and whatever he wants to do. And he has just opened these doors and blessed it and given us such favor. And we've had some crazy times. We've been all over the world with his favor, and23:15 we've we've slept in some crazy hotels with Bibles on ourselves and and just wondering are we God? Are you, you know, are you Are23:22 you here? Country.23:24 But he has really opened doors for us and and, you know, we just we feel so blessed and so grateful. And it's not to say that it's not hard sometimes because when you do serve the Lord, there there is23:36 it it it can be hard at times. But we know that his favor surrounds us like a shield, and it goes before us. It covers us. It's around us. It's his mercy and grace are are around us23:48 always. It's around you always. And when you really know that and see that and visualize that, you know, what what will he not do for you? And it it's just amazing to think about.23:59 Amen. And step 1, if you want the favor of God, is go to the 1 who gives the favor. Yeah.24:05 And24:05 that is Jesus Christ. If you have never asked Yep. Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and savior, I am telling you you are missing out. This is what24:17 you need to do. It is a matter of heaven and hell. You can go to bed tonight having peace knowing you, my friend, are gonna go to heaven if you ask Jesus,24:29 to be your Lord and savior. The Bible says that Jesus came to die for your sins and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and that if you will ask him to be the Lord of your24:41 life that he will come into your heart. He's knocking on the door of your heart, and if you open the door of your heart, he will come in and sup with you, and he will be Lord, and your whole life will be forever24:53 changed. So we're gonna pray right now for God to to save you if you've never been saved, and we're gonna pray for you to have favor. Lord, we just call upon you right now. We ask you into our25:05 hearts. We ask you, Lord, to be our Lord and savior. We thank you that you died on the cross. We thank you that you were raised from the dead and that, God, that you are now seated on the throne and25:17 that God that we can call upon you in our time of need, and that father that you are the the author of favor. And we pray over everyone who is watching and listening right25:29 now. We ask you for divine favor to rain down on them, to surround them like a shield, that they will have an anointing of favor going forward, and we ask you for all of these25:41 things in Jesus name. Amen.25:44 Amen. You know, God's purpose and plan for your life is is his gifts are gonna make room for you. There's nothing he won't do for you when you just give it all to him. Lay it on the altar, and25:55 he's got you. We love you guys so much. Thank you for watching our broadcast today. Head on over to our social media.

God bless you. We love you.26:22 Does science disprove God? Is there a war between science and faith?26:27 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 ignore26:39 reason?26:40 Logic. Critical thinking. Science.26:50 RDOF uses logic and reasoning. RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts. If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the27:02 existence of God, RDOF is the place for you. Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these27:14 claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:26 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 believe27:37 in the existence of God. I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance. I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith.27:49 RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man. The appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:02 The lights, the crowd, the videos.
