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 and Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today we're gonna be talking about having the faith to speak the word of God with boldness and confidence and courage1:08 because that's where we are in this world right now. It's like there's people who are being silenced and who are afraid to speak, who are maybe not being bold, not maybe maybe you're not professing your faith because1:20 you're you've heard things, people are getting canceled, people things are getting shut down, but now more than ever, we have to stand up, we have to be bold and courageous and speak the word of1:31 God, speak the truth, because the truth is what is gonna set people free. It's gonna set everything free. So if you wanna know what the truth is, just take a look at what's being canceled and what's being shut down.1:43 And now we're supposed to stand up, stand stronger in our bold, be bold for the Lord more than anything ever before, and at any time ever before I feel like.1:54 Oh, yeah. And and just know that if you call on the Lord, like think about think about the story of Jesus, you know, at the cross. Jesus is dying on the2:06 cross. Who's around him? John. Yeah. That's it. Mary. That's it. Everybody else scattered. You know why? Because they didn't have boldness. They2:17 were like, what do I believe? Peter renounced Jesus 3 times. Not once, not twice, 3 times. He did not have the courage. But2:28 what we're gonna talk about today is how do you get to that bold place in the Lord? Mhmm. And I believe truly the only way is to shut the door,2:41 get by yourself and say fill me Lord with the power of the Holy Spirit because if you go back and you read the Bible, Peter who denied Jesus2:53 3 times was the first man out of the gate to preach the gospel and the bible says specifically with boldness, with courage, he was3:05 unashamed of the gospel which is the power to has the power to save and 3000 people were saved3:11 Yes.3:12 After his sermon. Now this is the man who hid out when Jesus was dying and was not there for his precious God and and and savior.3:24 He was filled with the holy spirit and and you know when Jesus was ascending, he said now go and wait because power is gonna come3:36 Yep. Upon you. I am leaving you with a great comforter, a holy spirit that will not only comfort you, but will give you boldness and power. And once3:47 Peter was filled with that power, he was as bold as a lion and and the gates of hell did not prevail against Peter or the church. And so think about that.3:59 And they won't prevail against you. That's right. That's the thing. We're we're we're taught to be bold as lions. You know, if you think about the the stars in the bible who had such courage, think about Daniel4:11 in the lion's den, think about Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, you know, thrown in the furnace, but people who saw it saw them in the furnace said there were 4 figures in there. Jesus was in there with them. They did not4:22 back down from what they were saying and what they believed and and Right. And neither would Daniel. And so, the Bible says, and I love this scripture, I love it, and I read it in several different versions, but it's4:34 it says, don't fling away. Don't throw away, but 1 version says fling and I just love that that visual. Don't fling away this confidence, this trust in the Lord. Remember the4:46 great reward it brings you. Patient endurance is what you need now so that you can continue to do God's will and then you will receive all that God's promised you. And so we're to4:58 stand in confidence, in boldness, in courage, and don't throw it away. Don't cast it away because you you're scared or you're fearful or you think somebody might think you're weird or whatever the5:10 case may be. You are to be bold and strong. You are here for such a time as this. It is time for us to speak the truth. The truth is what is gonna set people free. It cuts through5:22 the darkness. It cuts through the evil. And there's nothing that can stop what the word of God has already ordained. And what the promises of the Lord in the Bible said, they're the same5:34 yesterday, today, and forever. And when you speak those promises against what you're dealing with, against what's coming against you with boldness and confidence, you're going to see movement. You're gonna5:46 see God move on your behalf because he cannot not do his word. God cannot not be who he says he is. He is not a man that should lie. God's word is truth5:57 and every man a liar. So no matter what is saying that that's not true, that's old, the Bible's a relic, it's not not true today, you speak with boldness and6:09 confidence and you declare the living word of God over your situation and do not back down no matter what. No matter what. Well, and6:19 the bible says that our life is like a vapor. Yeah. You know, and so you we need that boldness right now because this life is gonna flash before us and before6:30 long, you know, I remember like when Troy and I first got married, which we have been married now almost 38 years. And I remember the first summer that we were married, we were6:42 driving around. We had the roof open. We had a moonroof and we loved it. And we were driving around in Memphis, Tennessee and we were looking around and we were thinking, look at us. We're6:54 married and, you know, we were just newly married and so in love. And he goes, I I we're gonna get to grow old together. Well, looks like it happened. Mean, it's7:06 just fulfilled. Oh, flash. It's true. And I remember thinking at that time, it's gonna go faster than we think. I was right. It's a vapor. I7:18 was right. It's a vapor. And so, have the boldness while you're still here. At the end of the day, we we serve an audience of 1. And so when that unction of the7:29 Holy Spirit comes on you and says, don't back down. You know, a lot of times the the enemy's voice will be like, leave it alone. It it is like an outside, you know7:41 that it is not of God saying don't speak up and I I just remember this time I was sitting with this group of ladies and a lady started talking about basically7:53 polytheistic God like, know, different religions always lead to heaven and she was supposed to be a Christian and I did not know her and I could hear the8:05 enemy say outside, not inside, the Holy Spirit was rising up but the enemy was like, leave it alone And I just thought no, no, it doesn't matter. I'm saying it. And I said, so which8:17 God is gonna heal? Which God is gonna save? And she was so taken back. And so were all the ladies at the table and there was a lady next to me who I also didn't know and she goes, yeah. And then she starts she8:29 starts in. So courage begets courage. And we are just here for such a temporary time, so we might as well go out with our boots on, have8:40 some boldness and courage to the power of the Holy Spirit. We're gonna talk more about that when we come back.8:46 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 today we're talking about having faith and having boldness and courage to speak the word and to be bold for the Lord. And, you know,10:00 speaking of that, it's like, think about you can be bold as a lion, but childlike faith. So how does that work together? And and yet, it's so very true. You know, I have this baby grandson,10:12 and he is only 20 months old, and the the faith in him, it's so funny to see and watch. And you know, I've been praying for him since my daughter-in-law was pregnant. I10:24 was, you know, I would just pray that he would he would the Bible says, I will teach my infants to worship and I would pray that, and that he would do great and mighty exploits for the Lord. And he is10:35 amazing. It's funny when you let's pray before a meal or whatever. More praying, more praying, and he's saying the prayers, and he is repeating the prayers, and he's so funny when you tell him and he's in the car seat10:47 that he's going to church, he's got the hands up, he's saying, Hallelujah and Jesus and praise But recently, my husband, his papa had, you know, has been having some back10:59 trouble. And so we were at church and the pastor is saying, you know, everybody stand, you know, if you have this kind of, if you have any kind of ailments and we're gonna pray for people.11:10 And I was holding the baby and he, you know, my husband is standing right next, and so he stood up, and we were standing, and I said to him, lay hands on11:22 papa's back. Let's lay hands. And so, my husband who was standing there praying with his eyes closed could feel this power, like this little tiny11:34 20 pound baby just slapped his hand and had his eyes closed, and he's going, Papa, be healed, and Papa, be healed. And Rich, my husband said, I felt like I was almost11:46 getting knocked over. I mean, that's amazing. And do you know, he was so excited, the baby, that he talked about it for days. He kept going, papa's back healed at11:57 church. Papa's back healed. And so so much so that I know that he had an experience. Something happened. He felt something. Something went through him. He knew something happened to12:09 him that he could not explain, but he was bold and confident and we should never lose that childlike faith just to go ahead and do that. And my husband felt better. It was just12:21 amazing. But this little baby still talks about it. Like when you'll say, you know, Sunday we go to church, and he's going, Papa's back got healed. Like, he still talks about And it's amazing when if we could just I12:33 look at this all the time, him, and I think about how he's he he knows his needs are always met. He knows he's loved. He knows he's always gonna be cared for. He doesn't know12:44 meanness. He doesn't know evil. And and he's got this faith in him. And we need to speak faith like that and be so bold like that. It doesn't matter if you don't know the12:56 person next to you. If somebody needs prayer, you know, the Lord has pointed out people to me to go pray. And, you know, at first I used to think that's weird. They're gonna think I'm crazy, but no, he's13:08 already gone before you and I guarantee you those people are so asking the Lord for a word or wanting to hear from the Lord. And so when you show up and say, you know, can I just pray for you? I feel like the13:19 Lord is saying this or whatever he puts on your heart. Do it with boldness and do it with confidence. You know, the more you do that and step out in faith, the the more the Lord will give you to do. Right.13:31 Because he's just just wanting to see your faith and he will give you more and more and more as you boldly step out and trust him with confidence.13:40 Well, true. And and the Bible says if you're faithful in the little things that God will make you ruler over much. So what you're saying is biblical, you know, the more you step out, the more13:52 you're gonna have the boldness to step out. And I think to your point, you know, little children have a holy boldness and they're not they're not worried about what people are gonna think because they've never thought14:04 about that kind of Yeah. Know, they just step out and they believe what their parents tell them and talking talking about children. When our son was younger,14:16 he was like 3 or 4 years old, I decided to try to put him in karate. And he gets in there, I go back to, you know, I leave him and, he's in some little class, know, and I come back14:28 and the the karate teacher says, we had a little issue. And I said, well, what was it? And he said, well, he won't bow. And I said, to what? What won't he bow to?14:40 Anyway, he shows me some picture of some drag it was like some dragon flag or something and and Joshua was like, well you said I was not to bow to any idols mama and so I'm not14:52 bowing and so I said, that's okay. He doesn't have to bow to that. I'm we're not bowing to whatever that was.14:58 Dragon flag.14:59 Some dragon flag. But kids don't think about the consequences of of, you know, being quiet or whatever. They they're not worried if they're bold.15:11 That's what they were taught and they step out in faith and that's the kind of courage that sometimes adults need to have. You know, we need to remember that we whenever the unction of the Holy Spirit15:22 begins to move us, we need to hear that and we need to step out in faith. And I I remember 1 day, I mean, just all day long, I kept thinking about this guy, this person that I work15:34 with, and it is it was, you know, I I just felt such a burden for him, and it was like late. And I certainly did not need to be calling him that late,15:46 you know, Troy and I was like sitting we were sitting there together and I said, you think it's weird, you know, and Troy is a man of faith. He was like, you you do whatever the Lord's telling you to do. That's kind of15:56 how he he is always. And so, I called him right there with Troy and I and I said, you know, hey, I feel like, you know, the Lord is I I just want you to know God sees where16:08 you are. He knows what you're going through and he's gonna get you through this. And he said, you have no idea. He said, my wife and I have been sitting here just so burdened with something16:20 I didn't know. I had no idea what he was going through. I had no idea. This then again, like a week and a half, 2 weeks later, same thing. I called. He goes, you just16:32 have no idea. Later, again. I'm like, this is getting weird like I'm a stalker or something And he goes, my wife and I have been waiting for you to call16:44 because we wanted confirmation that this is what God wanted us to do. So when you get that unction, have the boldness, obey. I mean, it's you're gonna be encouraging16:55 someone and and and later that was part of the testimony of this terribly dark trial that he went through. He said, was beginning to just get used to her calling whenever17:07 it was. And so I I mean, that's the Holy Spirit. I have no idea what's going on in someone else's life, but God wants to use us to encourage others. He want he want I17:19 love it when somebody does that for me. Mhmm. Right? Yes. I mean, how many times that time. Yeah.17:26 And can change absolutely everything. Just 1 word from the Lord and you know, okay, he knows where I'm at. He knows about this, and he's gonna do something about it. We're gonna talk more about that when we come17:38 right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:41 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus, And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission18:40 today. Give now.18:44 Welcome back. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. And today, are talking about having boldness and having courage and having faith. And, you know, sometimes we teach our kids, you know, to18:56 to stand and to be bold for things. And then I remember when my son, my older son, he was maybe a freshman or a sophomore in high school, and he was on the golf team.19:08 And the golf team had privileges to be able to golf on the golf course, the very nice golf course in the area, and you had a golf bag that represented your team, and so everybody knew19:19 who you were. And so, the country club, the coach in the country club always asked for all these manners and to have all this respect, and because, you know, they could get kicked off19:31 of there if these kids were out there doing unruly things or misbehaving. And so, I remember 1 time on a weekend that my son and another member of the golf team were19:43 playing golf with 2 other boys who were not on the golf team, and that some long story short, there was a foursome in front of them, if you follow golf at all,19:55 that they thought were going kind of slow. And 1 of these kids who were not on the golf team hit a ball into the foursome and said, hurry up or move faster along. Well, long story20:07 short, my son goes back to school after the weekend and the coach calls him in and the principal calls him in and says something about how, you know, you did this.20:19 You guys and he goes, it wasn't me. And he said, but you're responsible because you have the golf bag, and you shouldn't have allowed your team member. And I remember my son. And so, these are20:31 the situations that get tricky because he was standing up for himself. He's saying, I didn't do it. And he was being bold to a point of he, you know, we had to have a meeting and they were threatening to kick him off the20:43 golf team because he wasn't apologizing for this. And I remember being so torn about that situation because it's like what do you teach him in this situation? Do you apologize anyway when it wasn't20:55 your fault? He had no control over what this kid did who was playing in his foursome. And yet, guilt by association, was he supposed to have some penance and and, you know, they they made him do all this21:07 running and all these when they did something wrong. And so, I remember just telling him, you know, you have to apologize anyway. And he stuck to his guns. And now, you know, fast forward, he's 32 years21:18 old. He's he's, you know, got a son. He's he's a great man of God. And I I think about how the world is today, and I think about I'm I'm God made him who he21:30 is, and I'm glad he doesn't compromise his what he believes, and he won't just acquiesce, and he won't go with the flow, and he's gonna He doesn't21:42 care whose feelings are gonna get hurt. He's gonna call something out. And I think that's a very important way to be. And, you know, wrong? Was the situation right or wrong back then? But I remember21:54 seeing that's who he is. He he he knew he didn't do anything wrong, so he knew he wasn't he he shouldn't have to be penalized for that. And so, you know, that's what we need. We need22:06 people who aren't gonna just follow everybody, follow everybody off a cliff, or do what everybody else is doing. Right or wrong. You know, we are supposed to stand for what this word says22:18 and and be bold for the Lord, be confident in who we are in him no matter what's gonna happen to us. Now, you know, he he actually got in more trouble for not apologizing because the the coach gave him another 122:30 more time to say it and he wouldn't do it. And so, you know, I look back at some of those things that kind of, you know, made me beat my head on the wall sometimes when when they were a teenager. But I look at, you know,22:41 what God was working in him, and for for today's day and age, you know, this is how we need to be. We can't apologize for the word of God or the Lord or what he's doing in our lives or what be22:53 bold for what we're saying and what we're doing. You know, even on our social media, we are shut down all the time, And they're saying that the word of God is blasphemous and it's and it goes against their community23:04 standards. For what? What are they afraid of? What are they afraid of? It's the word of God. Why are you so afraid of a scripture when these people who are who are subscribed to read what we post23:16 every day are there because they want to be? And so, we are writing more. We fight it every day. We keep going with it because we're we're not gonna back down. And we are gonna do all we know to23:28 do until Jesus says otherwise. You know, that's what we're just gonna keep going and keep putting more and more on there. We can't You can't back down. I've had more fights with social media trying to like23:40 say, nope, I'm gonna appeal, I'm gonna keep going. And you know, I'm not gonna just acquiesce and say, well, okay, we're you know, I better tone down, I better not put so much word of God. Well, then what is it? Just a23:50 motivational speech? We can't do that. We have to stand for everything Yeah. God's saying.23:55 Well, you know, and that's biblical because the Bible says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's the power of to on demand for salvation. Think about that. And and,24:07 you know, what this 1 of the scriptures that got me off the pew to walk down and be saved was that if you deny me before men, I will deny you before my father in heaven.24:18 That's sobering. Yeah. That got my shy self up.24:22 Yes. And24:22 walked to the altar and But who knew Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. So we don't care. It it it cannot care. The fear of man is a snare. Yes. It's a24:34 trap. It will keep you just right where you are and you will not move forward. And so we wanna pray with you right now. If you're feeling like, you know, I have family members24:46 that I'd like to minister to but I'm afraid. I wanna stand up more. I wanna I want to be bold for the Lord. Let's just pray for that holy boldness, that24:57 courageous spirit that you're longing for to take that next step. So let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank you right now that your Holy Spirit we can do25:09 nothing without you and with your Holy Spirit, can do anything. And so God, we ask you that you would fill us fresh and new right now here, Nainanai and all25:20 over the world where we are being broadcast.

So you're not gonna wanna miss it. We love you guys. God bless you. Does science26:26 disprove God? Is there a war between science and faith?26:30 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.26:40 Am I brainwashed?26:41 Do I ignore reason? Logic.26:43 Critical thinking. Science.26:53 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 the existence27:05 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 these claims27:17 and more, check out r d o f dot org. The27:29 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 believe in27:41 the existence of God.27:42 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:47 I never believed in God. Just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man. The27:59 appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:05 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:11 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to audio f dot org or find us on Facebook at audio f events.
