The Power of Unpredictability 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 the power of becoming unpredictable. And that's like just I know it's gonna seem kind of weird and, you know, the1:08 subject matter, but it's true. Because do you know that the devil can predict your moves based on the things that you've done in the past? Like, if you always do something a certain way,1:20 if you always, you know, like, say you're you're you're trying to quit drinking or something and you you you follow these patterns. Well, he's gonna maybe it's a time when you get alone or something that1:31 you start to drink. Well, he's gonna do everything he can to make you feel lonely, to make you be in that scenario where you're alone and you're feeling like no 1 cares about your1:43 life so that he can cause you or lead you to go back to those same predictable things of of drinking. If if there's patterns in your life that cause you to do the sins1:55 that beset you, then it's time that become unpredictable. If there's always something that you do in that's that's a negative in your life, concerning a2:07 situation in your life, then we're gonna talk today all about just giving the devil just a kick in the kick him out the door because he's not gonna be able to predict your2:19 moves anymore because his tried and true ways are not gonna work anymore because we're gonna learn all about that today.2:25 That's right. We don't allow cursing on this show, Naida Lina. But what does2:28 It almost sound like you're about to cut loose. No. That's it. No. We don't allow it. So I'm just mad stinking mad at that devil. Like, that's enough. We kick him to the curb.2:41 So so2:42 That's right. We do. And we and we don't go back to our old behaviors. And, you know, even after hundreds of years of being slaves, the children of Israel2:54 decided that Moses, the deliverer, you know, he he actually was the deliverer, not the deliverer, but he he was the deliverer, and they they were complaining about3:06 Moses, and they were wanting to go back to pharaoh in Egypt because they were so used to being slaves that they decided, you know, I I you know, I can't take this. This is3:18 we're hungry. We're thirsty. Our back aches, our pace too tight, I mean it goes on and on, you know, our shoes are are bothering us, I mean you name it, and they had had it so3:30 much that they wanted to turn around and go back to being a slave, and that's what the devil wants to trap us into doing. He wants us to become that predictable slave that he has held in3:42 captivity, but the Bible says that Jesus himself, he releases the captive. That he came so that we could be released from Satan's3:54 bondage Yeah. From the captivity that Satan held us in. He held us in his grip, and and and sometimes we we we the Bible calls it,4:06 this is gross y'all, returning to your vomit like a dog. Do you want to be like that? No. I hate to be crude, but it's true. Then since tonight I almost cussed,4:17 I'll talk about vomit. I mean, it's on. So I mean, it's true. Listen. Jesus wants to change us for good, and and Satan wants to keep us trapped. Right? But4:28 we need to have our own strategy of being unpredictable. You know, the Bible always says, the Bible and everything else, any kind of war, know your enemy. Right? Know your enemy. Whatever kind of war you're4:40 fighting, know what the devil's up to. Know what he's doing. Know how he always infiltrates. Know how he sort of sneaks in when when and tries to bring depression or doubt or frustration or fear. And, you know,4:52 if you're tired, if you've been stressed from work, if you've got kid issues, family issues, he's gonna come in and say these things are terrible. They're never gonna change. He's gonna try to do everything he can to5:04 shake you. But you need to remember that you are immovable, you don't have to fall for it, that you get to be unpredictable in this. And the minute you start to feel those symptoms or those feelings or you5:16 start to, you know, listen, your thoughts, you know, start to come say, oh, it's never changing. I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Like, all these things that you start rehearsing, the devil gets5:26 that and it's a snare and it's a foothold. And so it's time that you start to say, I will not fall for this in the name of Jesus. I'm gonna pray more. I'm gonna praise more. You will not have my family. You5:38 stand up. You become unpredictable. Where he wants to throw a pity party with you, you get up and you put your worship on, and you start praising the Lord, and you start getting in there, and you start changing5:51 what the devil has meant for harm in your life, God will use for good. You need to recognize and know and stray away from these same old patterns and start living your life in an unpredictable6:03 manner that you're gonna catch him off guard. And do you know, Michelle, remember when he says, at the name of Jesus, at the name of Jesus, he has to flee. And so sometimes when I'm in the6:15 midst of something that I feel like I just can't shake or something's going on, I start going, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. If I say it a hundred times, and then I'll start to then go from there, I praise you, Jesus.6:27 I rebuke and I bind Satan. And, you know, and take your authority because at that name, when you when you are saying that name, he runs scared. The devil runs scared. And so all of a sudden, you'll6:39 feel peace come back. You'll feel the peace come back into your life. It's it's we're not saying this is also easy, but it's about recognizing today patterns, patterns6:50 that you might be in or using that seem to bring out the same circumstances or the same kinds of situations again and again and again. And it's time that we become unpredictable in our speech,7:02 in our prayer life, in our worship life, in what we agree with, and it's time to just break those off, change the course, and and and and don't give him a foothold in your life. He7:14 won't know what to do with you then.7:16 No. He won't. And and, you know, Satan wants to keep us right in the middle of our mess, whether it's a healing that we need or a7:29 relationship problem that we need to be, restored. Whatever the issue, the addiction, you name it, he's got he he wants you to stay there. And so7:40 change is scary. It is. Even for the man in John 5 verse 6, the man that was at the pool of Bethesda who was lying there helpless,7:52 and he was, you know, Jesus had to say to him, do you want to get well? Do you want to get well? What a strange question. Right? What a strange question for8:04 a man who couldn't move, and Jesus was able to heal him because he had to identify. There must have been something, I always think about that, there must have been something8:16 in the man that was comfortable. It's like, hey this is easy, people wait on me, You know, they bring me drinks by the pool. You know, whatever it is, and I like this. Amen. If he makes8:28 me well, then I'm gonna have to get up and do something. I'm gonna have to go to work. I'm gonna have to do something for God. I mean, whatever the fear is if you're well. So ask yourself,8:40 do you want to be well? And if you don't, ask the Lord to make you want to be well, and he will. And with that, we're gonna come back in just a moment.

Today, we're talking about being unpredictable, And and and that means being unpredictable where the devil does not know what to do with you, and that's a good thing.10:04 Because what he's used to doing in your life is no longer gonna work because you're onto him. You are identifying his strategies and the the same types of situations, the things that he tries to10:16 get you to say, the things he tries to get you to do. And when it always works, then what happens? 1 more trip around the proverbial mountain. Because you're gonna go back to that same place just like the10:27 Israelites. Oh, the Israelites. Like, do you know? But think about slavery. That seemed better to them, like you were saying. It seemed better to them to maybe I don't know. What was that? Out being10:39 out in the the terrible heat, half starving, making bricks, or whatever they were doing.10:45 Straw. I mean, they were even it wasn't even easy.10:48 And they they were having to haul all these do all this stuff. And yet, you know, being free from that and watching the sea open, watching all these miracles take place, food falling11:00 from the sky, water coming out of a rock over and over and over again. Yet by day. They were still complaining. And and all11:12 those wonderful things that God had in store for them in the promised land, which was 11 days, took 40 years and only 2 made it. What in the world? And11:23 so we don't wanna be those people. Do you wanna miss your promised land? Because let me just say, when the Bible says that that God has written a book for each of us before we11:35 ever lived a day, he wrote your story start to finish, beginning to end. He's the author and the finisher before you ever lived a day. And so today, I always stop let's stop and11:47 say, whatever that book says for me today, today, this day, give the date. I want that. I want that. And if your life isn't that, because if you're struggling, if you're stressed11:59 out, if you are sick, if you've got all these things going on in your life, I severely doubt. I can promise you that isn't what God's best is for you, and that's not what's written in your book for you today. And12:10 so you get up and you declare you're gonna have what God has for you today, that you're not gonna mess around, you're not gonna listen to the devil's lies, you're not going around this mountain 1 more day, you're gonna12:22 get up, rise up, start speaking the word of God, declare you are victorious over any and all schemes of the devil, that you are an overcomer through the blood of the lamb and the word of your12:33 testimony. You speak life. You speak deliverance. You speak faith. You speak Jesus. And you can be an overcomer, and you can become unpredictable where the devil just12:45 cannot keep up because he runs like a scared little nothing that he is when we are speaking Jesus and when we are praising Jesus. Amen. That's it.12:56 That we Drop the mic. We can stop the show.12:59 That's that's a fact. That's all it takes. That's I've had enough. That's13:05 enough. That that is a fact. Now, you know, let me just say I'm gonna say I'm gonna speak to a a, sensitive topic. There are people that are watching13:17 and listening right now, and you've lost someone to, you know, to what name it. You know, whether it was through cancer and they died,13:30 addiction.13:30 Wreck, addictions, what whatever whatever the topic is. And you are stuck in grief, and you13:42 feel like, you know, everything before this, I was moving, I was doing things, and I was changing, and I was on the right trajectory, I was right with God.13:54 You know what? God cares about your sorrow, and I just wanna address that right now because I don't wanna just have, you know, Nina and I up here doing happy talk, you know, saying, you14:06 know, you better do this and you better do that. First and foremost, I wanna say we're sorry this happened to you.14:13 Amen. And14:13 and and number 2, the God cares about your sorrow. It says he is close to the brokenhearted, and so he hasn't forgotten you just because you've gone through14:25 this. This does not have to, forever change your life to where now it's negative and bad. This is, you know, before this death and after this14:37 death. You you know, we need to get rid of the grave clothes and decide today, yes, there is a time to mourn. I agree. And if if something just happened to you,14:49 get ready because at some point, you're gonna mourn, and then 1 day you're gonna have to move on That's true. Past it. Otherwise, the devil himself will trap you15:01 in this grieving process, and and God wants you to be free of everything. Even something as serious. Yes. I agree. I have gone through someone dying in my15:13 house. I mean it it was terrible as a as a child. I've shared this, you know, my father died. And my mother, I didn't think she was ever gonna come out of that grief. It took it took her years and years15:25 to come out of it, but I am telling you that once she did, once she set her mind to move on and to shift out of that grieving process15:37 and to move on, she she really did go on. She had a successful career after that, which she hadn't had that before. She met another husband. She she she15:49 married, and, and she she, you know, bought homes. She grew in her faith. She had a good life. And so, you know, we don't have to be stuck there, and16:01 so I I just wanna address that sensitive topic today that we can change even in the grieving process.16:08 Yeah. And, you know, God's so powerful that that anything he does can far outweigh, out protect, outdo anything that16:20 the devil tries to throw at you. You know, any anything that the devil is saying, god is more powerful, god is stronger, god is faithful, God can deliver in an instant.16:31 And he can he can take you from this place of you don't even know how to get up, you don't even know what to do next, to to a place where you're experiencing joy because the joy of the16:43 Lord is is going to strengthen you. And if you don't have that, that how are you gonna have that strength? And so he can let you have joy in the midst of your trials, in the midst of the hard times.16:55 But the devil wants you to be so kept in that situation so so that you you are predictable to him, so that you don't get that turnaround, that you don't get that17:07 breakthrough. And and, you know, we're here today to to to encourage you and to tell you that that there is so much more in store. When we start realizing and17:19 recognizing what the devil's trying to do, and we can overcome that and speak against that every time, and we are gonna take a quick break, and we're gonna be right back with Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. Stay17:30 right there.Faith in Trials and the Power of Words 17:31 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest Christmas sale ever.

We are going to talk more today about how God can lift you up out of these trials and tribulations that you're in, and you18:44 can become unpredictable to the enemy of your soul who is the devil. You know, I think sometimes the trickiest things to come out18:56 of are the things where you got disappointed in God. Mhmm. Like, you felt like, well, I I was left unprotected, God. I didn't see that coming, God. That came out of left field, and that19:08 shouldn't happen to me because I'm a Christian or because I'm a good person or because name the reason. Right? And God that that is not true. The19:20 Bible says that that trials happen to every single soul that walks the earth. You can't get out of here without trials. That that meant you're gonna have19:32 many trials, not just not just the 1. Yes. The Bible says many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers from them all. And you know, you got to remember19:43 that that remember who God is. Remember what God says, that he is your shelter. He is your strength. He is a very present help in times of trouble, that19:55 the righteous run to the Lord when they're in trouble. Now, you know what? I have been disappointed in God because I have prayed and I have asked the Lord for something and it didn't20:07 happen. And and and and then I was left to wonder, well, God, what happened? I prayed, and and this happened instead. And and you know what? Those are20:19 questions I don't know if I'll ever have answered maybe in heaven. I don't know. I'm not 1 of these people that says, when I get to heaven, I'm gonna just say, God, this is this is it. I want you to explain to me.20:31 He's God. I'm I you know, I trust him. And and like Job said, though you slay me, yet will I trust you. Do we have that kind of faith? Do we have that kind of faith20:43 that we're that unpredictable to to the enemy of our souls?20:48 It's and and you know what? There's so many things that we can really it's so so true to put a guard on your mouth, you know. And and so many times, it's the21:00 things that we say that become the snare in our lives, and we have to be so on guard about that. If you even look at the story of the Shunammite woman, which I love, you know, she21:12 she, long story, was praying for a child, and the man of God, which was Elijah, shows up and tells her that she's gonna have a child, and she does have have this child. And and, you know, they love this21:24 child, and he's out working in the field with his father. I believe he had heat stroke. I I think about what what happened to him. He started complaining to my head, my head. And he brought him in the house to his21:35 mother, and and he died. And she when I think about the faith of this woman who prayed so hard for this child, gets this child, and then he21:47 dies, but she does not panic, she doesn't freak out, she doesn't do what would have been predictable.21:54 Yes.21:55 She we would have screamed, like, my child is dead. Well, she would she said, she laid him there. She put him upstairs and where where the prophet came and stayed in their house, the 1 who spoke that she would have a22:07 child, she laid him on the bed and took off. I mean, she did not even tell her husband. Her husband she asked for a a donkey, I believe, so that she could get to go find the man of22:19 God. And she didn't even tell her husband. He knew the the the boy was sick. She didn't tell him he died. She didn't tell him that at all. She took off, and from a long ways away,22:31 Elisha's servant saw Gehaziiah. I saw him come the woman coming. And and he said, go out and find out if she's well, if she's okay, if her husband's okay, if her child's okay. And when he22:43 went out to the Shunammite woman, he said, are you okay? It is well. It is well. She would not speak it. Even then, she would not she could have said he's dead. She could have sealed22:55 that faith for him by speaking what the devil's plan was over that child, and she did not see it. She did not say it. She did not get into an agreement. She was not predictable. And when she23:07 finally got to the man of god, she said, come with me. Come with me. I know that you you can save my child. And and he did. I mean, she wouldn't speak it. And literally, he23:18 came to the house. He laid out over him, over this boy, and the boy came back to life. And if you think about that kind of faith, I can't imagine23:30 not speaking my child's dad. I cannot be I cannot imagine doing what she did and having that kind of faith. And that is the ultimate of being unpredictable23:42 and ultimate of speaking what the promises of God are. She knew that that boy was an answer to a prayer and a promise, and she was not about to let that the devil steal that promise23:54 from her. And she spoke nothing but what the outcome would be, And that and she got a miracle, and and he lived. This boy lived. And so that's what we're asking today. Michelle, you wanna pray for24:06 us to have an unpredictable spirit?24:09 Amen. Amen. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you that you love us. God, we ask you. You have given us all we need for life and godliness. That's what your word says.24:21 And so, god, right now, we ask you, lord, that we're if we're if any 1 of us is stuck in a rut somewhere and we're doing the same old same old, we ask you to give us the strength24:33 to rise up out of the out of the problem. And, Lord, I pray, God, even if you have to drag us out of the hole that you will do it, God. You got Daniel out of the lion's den. You got24:45 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego out of the fire without even smelling like smoke. God, you have caused us to reign in life, Lord. And we may have24:57 gone through troubles, Lord, but we trust you. Lord, no matter what has happened in our lives, we trust you, and we ask you, God, pull us out even now. In Jesus name, amen.25:08 Amen. Wow. We are so glad that you joined us for this broadcast today. We hope that it has blessed you.
