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 how it only takes 1 stone. What does that mean? Well, know, there's different scriptures all over the Bible1:07 that are talking about a stone in different contexts. You know, I'd like to like look at it this way, you know, with Cain and Abel, there was a stone that killed a brother killed his brother with a1:19 stone and then there was also David and Goliath where David killed a giant with a stone. It wasn't about the stone, you know, it was about what was in the heart. And sometimes it only takes 11:31 stone to just knock out whatever you're dealing with when we go to it with the Lord who is our rock. He is the stone. He is the rock that we stand on. And through him, through1:42 Jesus, we1:43 have the power to overcome anything. I love that scripture that I will take your heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh. Think about that. Like1:54 sometimes when you have been in church a very long time, you've your pastor starts preaching and you're like, heard it, heard2:06 it, heard it. And it's like, yeah. Like you're you become part of the church of the frozen chosen. And that means you should probably ask the Lord to2:18 plow through your heart with his holy spirit so that you can have a heart of flesh again, so that your heart can leap when you hear those2:30 same scriptures because God is still working all of those things out in your life, and you're hearing it again as a reminder. So I2:42 don't care where you're going to church, you can learn something from your pastor as long as he is using the word. Right?2:49 Well, also don't forsake the assembly. And so when you're gathered and also just for the praise and the worship because, you know, God inhabits the praises of his people. So that's where you're3:01 in a place for miracles to be manifested in your life. And you know I I'm going back to the story of David and Goliath and you know it always fascinates me you know we have sons and so you think about this3:13 little, you know, scrawny David. But before that, if you think about what Goliath was doing, you know, Goliath would get up every day early in the morning and put on all of his3:25 gear and all of his garb and go out and just talk trash and just, you know, threaten everybody and make all these demands and say all these things he was gonna do. And he's scared and frightened3:36 everybody. And then all day, they would hunker in and worry and what are we gonna do because of this all these these this evil about this giant is bringing forth. And then every night, the the3:48 giant would get up, go back out, put all of his gear on, get out there, start speaking trash, and and tell everybody what he gonna do to him. You know, just think about this giant, just evil evil giant.4:00 And isn't that what the devil does first thing in the morning? Is this gonna come at you and try to ruin your day, make make you wake up with some negative thought or worry for the day? And then when you're trying to4:11 turn it all off at night, when you're trying to go to bed, isn't he gonna come in there with, oh, all these things to keep you worried so that you don't go to sleep at night. But David wasn't afraid of him. David was not4:23 afraid of this giant. And think about that, he he he went over his resume. That's what we need to speak about. The testimonies that God has already done for us. He went, I killed a bear. I killed a lion. You know, he4:35 he went and got 5 stones. You know, he he he just that's all he needed. He didn't even wanna wear the armor because the armor was too big for him. He was just a kid. And so they were, you know, and then4:47 I always think about who let this kid go do this? Like who wouldn't just like go stop him like stop it?4:53 Well they went to deliver pizza bread cheese. Yeah.4:57 He was just gonna go.4:58 He's the delivery boy.4:59 I know. And it's like what me as a mama, I just would've went out there and go, you are not that is enough. That is enough. It was a different day. It was a you5:10 know, we all helicopter mommies back then.5:13 Exactly. But you know I always would have thought there this is the end. There's just no way. If the army, the strongest guys in the army with all the armor were afraid of this giant and yet this5:25 kid and we all know the story, 1 rock, middle of the head, boom, he was done. That's it because he had God and you know what? With God we can do anything. We can conquer any giant that's5:37 standing in front of you. It just takes that 1 stone and that stone is God. And so I invite you to go over the testimonies that you already have. Stop and think about what God has5:48 already done for you. You know that he's there with you. He's got you. And I know every 1 of us have experienced him answering a prayer in some way.5:57 Oh, yeah. Absolutely. And and, you know, talking about David and talking about the armor and and this stone, you think about David went to6:09 drop off something for his brothers and began to hear the carnal Goliath speaking. Think about that. And he was so6:21 disgusted and outraged because his righteous heart who had worshiped the Lord day and night as a shepherd, you know, out in the field, a humble servant6:33 playing before the Lord, He heard what Goliath was saying about his 1 true God, and he had a a heart for God. The Bible calls6:44 him a man after God's own heart, and he would not wear that armor because you like you were saying, you know, Goliath would get up and he would put on his armor.6:56 Well, was the flesh, the carnality of Goliath. And David David went with a right heart and with a right spirit, and he heard7:08 Goliath speaking and when I mean, this had been going on. This wasn't like 1 day. This was going on for 40 days. Terrorizing the village. Terrorizing them, and David7:20 David comes back with, no. Oh, no. You didn't say that about my God. And goes and gets permission. I can't understand how Saul gave him permission. Saul was7:32 head and shoulders above the rest. You would think that their king would not have been a coward, but he who at 1 time been right with the Lord had hardened his heart, and his heart had become7:43 like stone before the Lord. And David, a man who loved God, got out there, wouldn't put the carnal armor on, but instead went in the armor of the Lord and he said,7:55 Goliath, I don't come to you in my name. I come to you in the name of the Lord. And that is what we have to do today. We have to come before our situations, not in8:06 our own flesh, not in some carnal get up, but in the name of the Lord with a heart after God. Right?8:15 Because that's that's everything.8:18 Yes. If8:18 you have, you know, you and God are the majority. Whatever you need, whatever your giant is, think about this, he took a rock to a sword fight. He took a rock to a sword fight and then used the8:30 giant's very own sword to chop off his head. And that's like that's everything because when you have God, God fighting on your behalf, you can do anything and we will talk more about that8:42 when we come right back. Stay right there.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission9:44 today. Give now.9:48 Welcome back. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about how it only takes 1 stone, and there that can be either way. It takes 1 stone to just and that's10:00 God standing on God to knock out whatever giant you're facing in your life, and it only takes it takes God to roll away any stone in your life. Think about God. He isn't throwing10:12 stones. He's rolling them away, and whatever you are dealing with in your life, you just ask the Lord. You just come before the Lord because Jesus is the rock. Jesus is the rock that we are standing on and he10:24 can help you overcome any giant that comes before you and I don't care addiction, whether it's a wayward child, whether it's you know an issue in your marriage, finances,10:35 whatever it is, there is a rock for that and that is Jesus and it only takes 1 stone. It only takes our faith and our belief in the rock that we we10:47 pour our faith out on him. And he is the way we can overcome every single thing that we are facing.10:54 I love that prophecy in Daniel that talks about the different empires. You know, it's a it's a helmet and it goes down and basically it's this statue that represents all of11:06 these kingdoms that have occurred throughout the earth. And then the Bible talks about and then 1 rock came and crashed the whole thing down. I love that. And that's what's11:18 gonna happen, that the that we've had all these kingdoms in the earth, different leaders, different rulers, and some have been tyrannical, and you know, there was11:30 Alexander the Great, and there were you know, you you have all these rulers, evil and otherwise, and at 1 point, finally, Jesus11:42 is gonna come and the rock, the real rock is gonna come and knock it all down, and the bible says, and become the whole earth. It's gonna cover the earth. So we11:53 have so much hope. If you know Jesus today, there is so much hope regardless of what you're looking around and looking at right now. Even though tyranny once again12:05 is trying to grasp hold of our earth again, we know that the king of kings and the lord of lords and the lord of lords is gonna12:16 ultimately come and knock it all down. All the kingdoms of the earth, they're nothing compared to God. Right? Isn't that amazing? Nothing. And think about12:28 the the the stone that you need rolled away from something. You know, maybe you're like Lazarus in a tomb. Maybe there is a tomb of fear or anxiety or illness12:40 or despair of some kind. Maybe you are depressed and oppressed and all of these things, and I love the story. I love the story of of Lazarus so much because, you12:52 know, he was a good friend. Mary and Martha and Lazarus, they're siblings. They are good good good friends with Jesus. They hung out all of the time, so they were always in his13:04 presence, and so always seeing miracles, always knowing what Jesus is up to and what he's capable of and what he can do. And yet Lazarus dies and they send13:16 for Jesus and Jesus is in absolutely no hurry to get to that and that is his friend. That's his good good friend. But when you look at this story and you think about when13:27 Jesus finally gets there, Jesus wasn't worried. He knew that he was gonna go and raise Lazarus. He wasn't like, oh gosh, I guess I might be late. He he wasn't thinking like that, but even13:39 these these sisters of Lazarus who had witnessed over and over again the power of Jesus, their friend, could not see how Jesus could do13:51 something and and change the outcome for their brother. They were so discouraged. They were mad at him. They were calling him out and rebuking him, and they were so mad. And yet, at the same14:02 exact time that this is going on, they're literally he they're literally saying, you're late. You didn't come. You didn't care. All this stuff. It says that the others the others were rolling away the14:14 stone. So in the midst of their grief, their complaints, they're being mad at God, they the stone was being rolled away. And even with that, they said,14:26 it's too late. He's gonna stink. It's been 4 days. They were still not receiving the fact that Lazarus could wake up and come out of that tomb. They fought it.14:38 They fought it with Jesus like in front of their face and yet in all of that Jesus wept. He loved them. He loved these siblings. They were his friends, his dear dear14:50 friends And no matter what, he stood there in such compassion and love and still rolled that stone away, called Lazarus forth, and out he came. Out15:01 he came. And then at the same time, he had others help him because he was still bound. So sometimes we might have the stone roll away, but are we completely free? He was still bound in the grave15:13 clothes, and others went and helped him and got him free completely because that's how God is. When he rolls the stone away of your life, it's not partway. He doesn't do anything15:25 halfway. He gives you complete and total freedom. Complete and total freedom from everything. And whatever stone is blocking your freedom, we are gonna pray today15:37 later in the show for your freedom and for your stone to be rolled away.15:42 Yes. And you can be trapped. You know, if if for those who feel like you're in bondage to something, maybe you feel entombed, you know, and we know that15:53 Jesus and Lazarus. Lazarus came out of the tomb, he didn't save the world. Jesus came out of the tomb, and he ascended to the right hand of the Father. And so we16:05 know that that same God that brought Jesus and rolled away the stone is the same God that will get you out of whatever16:17 bondage you're in. And maybe you've been entombed for years, and you have a stone in your life. Some something is holding you hostage in your life.16:29 And and we want to today to tell you that Jesus is the way, he is the truth, he is the life. If you've tried other things,16:41 maybe you've tried other gods, maybe you've, you know, tried Buddha. Maybe you've tried other religions, and and and maybe you've tried religion. Maybe16:53 you've gone to church, but you've never actually met the real rock, the rock that is your salvation who is Jesus. And if you have not done that today, we're gonna17:05 pray for that stone to be rolled away and and pray that God breaks you out of the bondage that for years you have been in, and we're gonna pray that you will make him the rock of your salvation17:17 today. Yeah. We believe it.17:19 Yeah. We do because there's we we know, you know, having gone through things ourselves, like I say, I I had a huge issue with fear and anxiety, and it was really before I was saved.17:31 It was so terrible. It was crippling and awful. And, you know, just watching how God has delivered me from that and now uses me to pray, roll that stone away, and help others be delivered because17:43 it's so important to God. And stay right there, we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:50 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 Jesus18:01 Christ.

You can also send in a check to 63 15 b f m 14 88 road18:37 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 commission18:48 today. Give now.18:52 Welcome back. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. And today, we are talking about the rock. It only takes 1 stone. It only takes 1 rock. And and I was just talking about how anxiety had19:04 been a and fear had just been a crippling. It was really debilitating in my life. I remember being just so afraid of so many things. I was afraid to fly. I was afraid to19:15 speak. I was afraid for everything concerning my kids. It was just absolutely debilitating. And, you know, I was raised in a religion, and I literally through all of19:27 this, this was before I was saved. I was just a very young mom. I thought God was so mad at me. I thought because in the religion I was raised in told me that every day that, you know, that19:39 if you did 1 wrong thing that God was like basically up there with a clipboard, you know, putting check marks by your name, and that you were just too far gone. I mean, we had we had nuns tell us that we're19:51 going to hell for every little thing, all of those things, which I think in and of itself brought a lot of anxiety to my life as well as the way I was raised before I got to go live with my grandmother. And so I20:03 I do think that once I found Jesus, I don't think I know, once I found Jesus, it was like that was broken off. I was delivered from that. And, you know, that20:14 still is the the what the what the devil tries to bring on me, but I recognize that and I cast it down because Jesus is the rock. He is the 1 he says there's a time to20:26 throw stones and a time to gather stones, and I always think, you know, if if people are hurling those stones, if the devil's hurling those stones at you, gather them all up and build an empire. Because what the devil20:37 means for harm, God will use for good. And he is the rock. He is our deliverer. He says he always delivers the seed of the righteous. And so whatever it is that you're dealing with, we're gonna20:49 stand in faith believing that today is the day that you are gonna walk free, that those that bondage, those chains are coming off because the rock, Jesus Christ, has already already paid the21:01 price for your freedom and for your deliverance.21:04 Amen. And you know, for some, you guys have been delivered through the through the rock of Jesus, And the Lord wants you, and and I want21:16 to encourage you and challenge you today to begin to tell what the Lord did for you. The Bible says that we overcome by the blood of the21:27 lamb and the word of our testimony. So God wants today, I believe, to challenge you to tell your friends. The bible the bible says don't be ashamed of21:39 the gospel because it's the power of salvation. So we cannot be ashamed. It says if we're ashamed of him before men, he will be ashamed of us before our father in heaven.21:51 So wherever you are, if the Holy Spirit begins to nudge you and tell you to share your testimony, do it and do it afraid, do22:03 it embarrassed. However, if you think they're they're gonna think you're strange, they probably will. But you know what? If you share that Jesus saved you and that he delivered you from22:15 name it, whether it's drugs, alcohol, addiction, he saved your marriage, he saved your kids, whatever it is, he healed you. You begin to share what22:26 the rock of your salvation, Jesus Christ, did for you, then you are going to be used in his kingdom. And I believe that there are so many that want to do something22:38 for God. And I think every day you say to yourself, God, what do you want me to do? I wanna do something for you. What is that? And sometimes it's just this, share your22:50 testimony. Your testimony can help save those who are lost because if Jesus did that for you, don't you think he wants you to do that for others? Pass it on.23:02 You know, and I think about in first Samuel 7 7 through 12, it talks about how the Israelites were under imminent attack from the Philistines, and Samuel23:12 built a a stone that he called Ebenezer because it meant victory, and he publicly declared it. And I say to you23:24 today, do that same thing. Build an altar that said this is my testimony. Publicly declare that you have victory23:36 in Jesus to all your family, all your friends. Maybe you lose some people over it, but that's okay. We're not gonna be embarrassed of the gospel.23:43 You're in23:44 really good company if that happens.23:45 That's right. We'll hang out with you. Over and over again23:48 in the in the bible it says you will be persecuted for your faith, but you know what? Where else would we turn? It's like I'm so grateful every day that that that Jesus is my Lord and savior and that my23:59 children are saved and you know, it's exponential. And so we When you get a hold of that good word, it says we are overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony.24:11 So again, speak speak that. Speak life. Speak it everywhere you go and go testify. The world needs to know about Jesus now more than ever. And, you know, when you do24:23 that, you don't have to worry about if it worked or if they're gonna like you or don't like you. Who cares? You're planting seeds, and then Jesus can do the rest. And so just just get out there by faith and trust that24:35 God's got you strategically placed. So many times when he has asked us to go and speak to somebody, like, you just feel that nudge, he's already gone before you and prepared that person. That person24:47 is asking the Lord for something. That person that happens so many times. They're like, I was just asking the Lord for that for a word today and thank you. So so we're gonna pray now. Michelle, you wanna pray? And we're24:58 just gonna declare victory over any stone that's holding you back right now.25:02 So father, if if you've never asked Jesus into your heart, I ask you right now before we get started praying, just stop right now and just say, Lord God, I believe that you sent25:14 your son, pray with me, That you sent your son to die on the cross. I believe that you raised Jesus from the dead and that he was, he would hung on that cross for25:26 my sins. I ask you to forgive me for my sins, and I make you Lord of my life. And I thank you for that. And now, right now, through the power of25:38 the Holy Spirit, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit that breaks the yoke of bondage, we declare and decree that those who are in tombs, who25:49 need to have the stone of addiction, of of of relationship bondage, of of anything that is hindering their finances,26:01 of of poverty, of of cancer. We pray, God, in Jesus name that you would roll the stone away and bring the blessing that comes with the26:13 anointing that breaks that yoke of break the yoke of of bondage over cancer, over over addiction. We pray that you restore marriages, that you save households, God.26:25 Bring prodigals home, Lord. And we thank you, Father, that you are doing a great and mighty work through the rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name.26:35 Amen. We are so grateful. We love you guys. God bless you. And and we'll see you next time.26:50 R d o f uses logic and reasoning.26:53 R d o f has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.
