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 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today we're gonna be talking about when God just jumps in there and interrupts your plans, interferes in your life, and1:08 how sometimes we might at the time, not like wondering what is going on, but you know what? God interferes in the plans of men and that is a good thing. And1:19 we're gonna talk about that today because ultimately, that's what we want. Because we don't want our own plans because no matter what plan we've come up with for ourselves, if it's not of God,1:31 we don't want that, and we want God to interrupt us. And you know, the devil has he's constantly interrupting us. Know, do you ever just decide you're gonna get in the word more, you're gonna spend the day with the Lord,1:43 you're gonna read more, you're gonna do something, and then what happens? The phone's gonna ring, some some crisis is gonna occur, something's gonna break in your house that you're gonna have to call repair, like1:54 it's like all those things. Things are gonna be the devil just loves to distract us from being in the word of God and spending time with the Lord. But when God2:06 interrupts our plans, watch out because that's when the good stuff happens. Even if you can't see it right away.2:12 Well, exactly. And and we have to think about, you know, everybody has a different reaction to when God interrupts their plans. Some people carry on and say, nope. That you2:24 know, you you've heard of the church of the frozen chosen. You know, we can all be part of that church sometimes. Our heart gets hard towards the Lord and we're trying to get our to do list done and I mean, when I tell2:36 you I have a to do list, I owe I always have a to do list. I keep a to do list. Sometimes it's 6 pages long tight.2:44 Yes.2:45 And I I just mark it off. That's sort of how I'm wired and when I don't know what to do, I go to my to do list so I can go to the next thing and and you know, but I want to2:57 be available for God to interrupt the program and do Yep. I'll do something else and I and I always say that to the Lord, you know, God, here's3:08 my plan. Like the Bible says, that man makes a plan but God is the person that causes, you know, the plan to happen and it could be a completely3:20 different plan. Like think about the Good Samaritan. You know, the Good Samaritan, there were there were people that were walking along the way, 1 was a priest. He was like, I am not touching that, he is a3:32 Samaritan, I won't be able to be around anybody for 30 days. You know, even though he was supposed to be the man of God, you would think that this good godly man3:44 would have gone to help and love the person who's beaten up by robbers. There was a Samaritan man back then, the Jewish people didn't want to have anything to do with3:55 Samaritans that made them unclean unclean and so then they couldn't go into the temple and so the priest was like, I am doing something, I am not gonna help that man. But there was another4:07 man who was on that same dangerous road who love the love of God compelled to go over and he was okay that God4:18 interrupted his plan and and man when I tell you he went and he he bandaged the gross wounds. Mean, seriously He4:27 for it.4:27 He paid for it. Mhmm.4:28 He4:29 he put him up in a hotel. I mean, he took care of the Samaritan and he was not he was not the man of God,4:40 the the man of God I should say. He was a man of God. Yeah. But you know, we need to be interrupted where we are absolutely okay to go with the flow of the4:52 Holy Spirit's plans.4:54 And you don't always understand it, know, put me in your plan Lord. When we ask for that, sometimes we have to be prepared for the answer because sometimes there's a holy discontent involved. Sometimes for you to be in5:05 God's plan might mean you have to abandon, you know, maybe there's people in your life that need to be cut out. Maybe God's moving you. We recently moved out of the city that was like, you know, just5:17 there's a lot of crime happening and and, you know, we just saw God interrupt our lives and kinda get us out of there. You know, we can't always understand or see what God's doing at the time, but we have to trust that5:29 he knows things we do not know and that we that's what we need to welcome. And you know, when you are asking the Lord, you know, even in your children's lives, when you're asking God to5:40 intercede, interrupt, I say, pull them out of their plans, do not let them look to the left or to the right, Keep their eyes straight on you. And, you know, I remember when my kids were having 2 boys and when they were5:51 sort of like in middle school and and they would be, you know, running around on their bikes with kids and, you know, sometimes doing some mischief and things like that. I remember, you know, where like a mom would call6:03 me or another neighbor or somebody who witnessed something would call me. And I remember having a chat with my younger son and he got because he was getting in trouble about something that I had heard about when they6:15 were out in their little bike squad. And so I remember him saying to me, well, how come I always get in trouble? How come so and so when he's naming the friends? And I remember telling him, you know, God loves you so6:26 much that you're even gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught in your actions because God's interrupting this so that you don't go down that stream because you're gonna learn a lesson right now. You're gonna know that6:37 that isn't normal, that good behavior that we you're supposed to be doing, and so you're gonna get caught so you don't continue down that path. And I know that might seem like a simple lesson, but that's a lesson for all6:48 of us. Like, you know, if you're if you're going down a pathway of sin or you know you know if you're doing something, you be sure your sins will find you out, and you're kind of hearing that tug,7:00 or you know you shouldn't be doing that, or maybe somebody's going to say something to you or call you out on that. You know, a lot of times, our first reaction is to be defensive about it. But why don't we stop and7:12 say, God, is that you? Are you, you know, recognize what he wants to do in your life. God is not okay with you sinning and he loves you so much that he's gonna do whatever he has to do. Interrupt,7:23 intervene, interfere to pull you out of that place of sin and put you down back on solid ground and on the right path he has for you. But the the sometimes that process is not fun,7:35 and so but but when we recognize later on some to thank you, Lord. Thank you that you pulled me out of that. Thank you that you're doing a work in my life, and you didn't you love me so much that you didn't let me7:46 continue down that path. And so so many times we have to be so grateful for the interruptions and really ask the Lord, what is the big picture in this? What are you doing through this? Because interruptions7:58 sometimes in the process are not uncomfortable, and that's the point. We all want our little comfort zones, and you know, God loves us too much to leave us where we are. Right. Exactly. And to8:09 your point, you know, I'm a child of the the seventies and eighties where when parents weren't paying attention to the kids, you know, you just go out in the yard. And whenever I got saved when I was 7, so the the8:20 Lord's hand was really on me. And so I would do something that wasn't right and God would get me, and I mean, expose me. I mean, was like, how? How? How8:32 do you know you're saved? You can't get away with a thing. Yes. You know, because God himself loves you too much to let it go. And when we come back, we'll talk more about that.8:43 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.

You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about when God just steps in and interferes and intervenes in your life. And you know what? I'm telling you, no matter9:57 what you might think at the time, it is always a good thing. And that should be our prayer. A lot of times you say, God, you know, show me. Show me where I've gotten off path. Lord, forgive anything that I might be10:09 doing wrong and create in me a clean heart, and and you know intervene in my life if there's something that needs to change. Because we ultimately don't want to keep any kind of sin or anything10:20 that's that's gonna stop us or block our blessings, the things that he has in store for us. If we're off doing whatever is that isn't pleasing to God, we want that10:32 interruption. Sometimes we might be sort of slipping into something that you might not even realize, but you want that interruption, you want that truth to set you free from whatever that is because sin is10:44 always fun for a little while, a little season, and then all of a sudden you are so in deep that you don't even know how you're coming out of it. But there's good news. When we ask the Lord to forgive us and to10:55 to to take us from these things and remove us from these places of sin and put us on his path, he will do it. He will interfere in your life and do everything. You know you11:07 know, Jesus left the 99. He leaves the 99 to go get the 1 sheep, and if that sheep is you, you know, you're not getting away. That sheep that he went after, he didn't he didn't get11:19 away. Jesus had that sheep, and so he's got us and he's we want that interference. Exactly. And in a in a lot11:27 of times what I've noticed is like because I have served the Lord since I was a little girl, there's like a pattern with the Lord. You know, I like I keep getting blocked, I can't11:38 figure it out, I'm like I remember it for example, I was going to visit a lady on a list that I had for work and I could11:50 not get in the gate and so I sat and waited for the gate to open for someone else to open the gate to her home and I had never met this woman so I end up getting delayed like 20 minutes and I'm like,12:02 I cannot decide whether this is God or Satan but either way I'm gonna sit here until I figure this thing out. I mean, after a while I was like this has to be the Lord. So I go to her home that I have her12:14 address, I go to the house, there's another gate. I'm like, okay forget it. I had tried to call, I was you know trying to get a hold of her and anyway I said to the12:26 Lord, okay, I was gonna just leave her a little gift and a note and tell her that I had dropped by And I said, what do you want me to give her? And it was like 200 questions that people ask about the12:38 Lord. And I thought, well, know, sometimes that can be controversial. I don't know her. Yes. It was a book. And so I I just thought I don't know her but I just kept feeling feeling that tug and so, you know, here's all12:50 this distraction. I'm like sitting there going, I thought you were in this. I thought I was delayed because she was gonna come. Then all of a sudden when I have this little bag ready to go, the gate opens. I'm like,13:01 oh, that's weird. She must have seen me and she goes, do you have the package? I'm like, it's like, uh-oh. Don't know this lady at all.13:10 Is this a drop off point?13:12 I don't know. I said, I don't have the package, I have a package. And so she goes, who are you? And then I turn around, there's this little girl on a bike.13:23 This lady had never met this little girl, she has a package. The Lord set this whole thing up, it was a divine distraction. And so she goes now, she gets this package13:35 from this little girl and I'm still standing there with my bag and and she looks at me and she goes, who are you again? And so I try to tell her who I am and and I could just see her13:47 face. I said, do you need me to pray with you? And she said to me later, that was the first time anyone ever asked her if she need a prayer. Isn't that amazing? And so13:59 she she goes, can you please come into my house? And I said, yes, I will. So she goes, can you come on my back porch? So we sit back there and and she ends14:11 up, she gets saved, it was the Lord God Almighty, it was a divine appointment distraction and timing and only God can14:23 do something that good. And I mean, I was like finished with something early and that's why I decided I would go there and it was all just the Holy Spirit and sometimes whenever things are not working out the way14:35 you think, maybe it's because God is divine, divinely lining you up with someone and that lady is 1 of our dearest friends.14:45 And she she a She14:49 moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Her family got saved. She is awesome. Yeah. We love love love her. Yeah. And I mean, what a gift for us. What a gift. I mean, it just the15:00 whole thing was God himself.15:02 I remember another time you and I were together and we were we were going to some partners houses to visit some partners and we pulled up. We we were trying to find a house and we were getting all turned around15:14 and honestly Yes. We were coming into some weird parking lot.15:17 And we started talking about divine distractions. Yes.15:20 Like this has to be the Lord. This is weird. What are you doing, guys? Because like why are we not finding this? Like why is their address like keep bringing us to parking lot and it was so so strange. I15:32 think Siri is a terrorist and all this crazy stuff. Were laughing Seriously,15:37 Siri is dumped us off and It was like15:38 gravel gravel roads with dogs on This is place.15:43 Like, lord, where are we? And so long story short, we wind up finally finding this house. Now, this is like an hour later and we were it was starting to get dark so we almost gave up15:54 and we were gonna go home. And so we and and they know it was gonna be unannounced. This was like a partner we were dropping off a gift to them with someone new, and when we finally found the house, we were just gonna16:06 pull up in the driveway. In fact, I was waiting in the car because you were just gonna drop note, and so it and it was when you were working at CBN, that was the purpose of the visit. And so16:17 so it was weird because this year dropping this off and all of a sudden this some car pulls in the driveway and then it's like long story short, they invite us in the house. The the woman does.16:29 She invites us in the house and starts telling us all of this stuff. Her marriage is in a humongous crisis that her husband's leaving her. They're about to get divorced, and they had been married forever. They were a16:40 little bit older couple, and it just was crazy. So we just sat there, and we started praying with her, and I'm sitting there in this dining room, and I go, there's a man in your backyard. And it was like all of a sudden16:52 her husband comes in after we had prayed. He left. He left. And he comes in the door. We all start praying. They were they were like crying, stay the night. It's too17:04 far for you to travel back to Houston. It was Louisiana. And so they were we're of course, we did not. But we but it was like The17:10 Lord did a work in their marriage.17:12 Their marriage. And they were both crying, and they were like, couldn't believe we were there, and all of this stuff. But if we if we had blown it off, if we had have just instead of17:23 persevering and knowing that our interruption of these parking lots and all of this stuff was God's perfect timing to get us where we needed to be. We are gonna come right back. Stay right there.17:35 You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:38 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. To see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.17:50 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States.

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?

You can also send in a check to 63 15 b f m 14 88 road18:25 number 1 22 Magnolia, Texas 7 7 3 5 4. Grace Grace Ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission18:37 today. Give now.18:40 Welcome back to the show. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we're talking about when God just interferes, intervenes, interrupts your plans, and just steps right into the middle of whatever's18:51 going on or whatever he's got in store for you and how we need to pay attention to that because it's always good. It is never not gonna be good. When God wants to switch your plan or19:03 change you or or interrupt your plans, it is always always gonna be glorious and always for the best because the blood of Jesus, the word of God is life transforming, it is19:15 soul refreshing, it is sin delivering, It is health restoring. It is so victorious in every single thing. And what could he not do for us? And so sometimes19:27 those things, those you know, don't let those be your your hill to die on. When you feel like something terrible has happened to you, you know, ask stop and say, the lord19:39 lord, what are you doing in this? You know, maybe you lost your job and or maybe you're going through a horrible divorce, and I know I've experienced a divorce. I know how horrible these things can be.19:51 But then, let's ask the Lord, you know, God knows conversations that are going on about you in the back room. God knows things that you don't know, and we always have to know that his plan and purpose for us is always20:02 for good. He is good. He can never not be good. And so when we stop and say, okay, you know, you are doing something here and I know it, and so just just help me through this time20:14 because even if you're walking in the the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil because God is with you and he is gonna take you out of that. He's gonna set you down20:26 on solid ground. He's gonna show you his plan and his purpose for you. He's gonna reset your life and it's always gonna be for good.20:35 Well, right. And and the Bible says God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. So I don't care what is going on,20:46 God will turn it around for your good. God is right there with you. You are not a you are not alone. You know, and and we're talking about, you know, divine disruptions,20:59 divine interruptions, and and and then also distractions to to get us off the path of God's will. And sometimes good things can look like God21:10 things and they're not good because really God called us its bait. Mhmm. And and like even in the bible in the New Testament when the disciples who had witnessed all that Jesus had21:22 done, they they were to go and tell there were widows that were being unattended. And those widows, that's a great you know, the bible says, what is pure religion undefiled before man? To take21:34 care of the widows and children and orphans and, you know, those are important. That's the heart of God. That's pure religion. Right? So but the disciples could have gotten caught up21:46 in that they needed to take care of them. What they needed to do was delegate that assignment because God had called them to go tell, to tend to the word, and to minister to him21:58 in prayer. And so sometimes just because it's good doesn't mean it's God. Sometimes we need to discern the spirits. That's what the bible says. Mhmm. Have a spirit of discernment. Ask22:09 the Lord for a discerning spirit to rightly divide what it is you're supposed to do. Yeah. And so truly good things can cause you to miss the22:21 target because you think, well, that's my that's my job to take care of that. Well, that yes, they did take care of it. They stopped what they were doing, they assigned22:33 other people to the job, they made sure that those widows were ministered to but they went back to their true call, the 1 that is that caused them to be polished arrows in the hands of22:45 the Lord, the 1 that was ministering to God in prayer and to the the word of God and to ministering the word of God.22:53 And and so many times it requires when God intervenes, it is you having to step out of your comfort zone. It is letting go of the side and getting out in that deep water and and and23:05 just trusting the Lord because, you know, it it it's sometimes, like I said, it's a holy discontent. It is not always comfortable, but there's no sometimes there's no way for God to23:17 shake you out of where you are and unless it is an uncomfortable situation. And you know, you ever just think like, the other day I was like yelling at a squirrel from my car. Do ever23:28 just go like, get out, die poop, like you're you know, obviously It happens. The squirrel is not gonna hear me. But you know, I thought I go, isn't that what God does?23:37 Squirrels where we live.23:38 It's like, don't you think God is up there screaming at us like a squirrel in the world? Like, sometimes like, I don't And so, sometimes I just if we stop first thing in the morning when we're23:49 praying, get you know, tithe your day, seek the Lord first, and ask him to order your steps for the day, and I ask him, don't let me miss you. Whatever you have for24:01 me today, order my steps today because that's what it says. The word says he orders every step, but are we taking those steps? Are we off on our own steps and then, you know, having all these issues? So it's like, don't24:13 let me miss you. Put me in your plan today wherever I need to go, and then pay attention. Maybe you're heading to the store and you feel led in your spirit, like, I'm gonna take this road, or I'm gonna go that store24:23 instead. You know? Pay attention to those things so that you don't miss the assignment of the Lord on your life and and don't be the squirrel in the road. So so, you know, because God's plan is always better. Let him.24:35 Let him interrupt and let him interfere with your life. Do you wanna pray, Michelle? Yes.24:41 Lord, we thank you. We give you praise. We we just come right now and we ask you, Father, to to give us the words to pray. Your your word says, we don't know how to pray, but the Holy Spirit will pray through us.24:53 And so God, you know the needs of those who are watching or listening, Lord. We we ask you, Father, that you will meet their needs and that God that you will25:05 just just tell them what25:07 it is you want them25:08 to do. They're crying out for the will of God in their lives and we just say right now in agreement with them, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven for these people25:20 that love you and are called according to your purpose. And Lord, let all the plans of God for their lives be yes and amen. And that father that that that they will rightly divide any distraction25:31 that is keeping them from the will of God. And we ask you God that they will go towards the love of God and helping those who need you and25:40 and and and let them be able25:42 to discern the difference father. We ask you for these things in Jesus mighty name, Amen.25:48 Amen. We hope that we have interrupted your day with the word of God and that you are blessed by this broadcast.

We love you guys. God bless you.26:21 Love you.26:22 Does science disprove God? Is there a war between science and faith? 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?26:33 Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid.26:37 Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.26:50 RDOF uses logic and reasoning. RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts. If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence27:02 of God, RDOF is the place for you. Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you want to be equipped respond to these claims27:13 and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:25 Evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:29 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:32 We believe in rationality, we believe in reason, we believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.27:39 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance. I never believed in God. This thing goes craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my,27:51 full belief, full faith in the Lord, man.27:55 The appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:02 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:08 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to audio f dot org or find us on Facebook at audiof events.
