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.Stop Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop 0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome broadcast today. Today, we are going to be talking about what to do or if you're 1 of those people, and I I'm preaching to myself here. If you've been 11:07 of these people who are always seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop, like, you just can't seem to think that you you can be blessed or, you know, are blessings are available to you. It1:19 feels like you're always just anticipating something's gonna go wrong. And because of that, it steals your peace. And so today, we're gonna get to the bottom of that because I need this sermon too because1:31 this seems to be, you know, something that has kind of been a thing for me.1:36 Well, I think in the time that we're living in, you know, we kinda get PTSD from different things that happen. And so I think it's so important to talk about this1:48 message and what does God's word say about this. So we're gonna talk today about stop waiting for the other shoe to drop. And so2:00 we're Let me just2:01 tell you. I recently my husband and I lived in Houston, but moved to the suburbs, the suburb area. And we bought this house,2:13 and it seemed like at the time, there were all of these any house that we were looking at, there were so many competing bids. And and the realtors, it was just a complete seller's market. They were like, get all your2:24 bids in right now. They're gonna make a decision by 5 o'clock. You barely had a moment to look at this place, and then they would, you know, run these inspectors ragged and they would go through it. And2:36 so we wind up with the house and it was really like it wasn't our favorite house. We more or less liked where it was, and there was just nothing ever for sale in that area. So we wound up2:48 with this house and it's it it was it's about, I guess, 15 or 18 years old and it's and it's got it just had some updating issues. It just had some things wrong with it. But when we got3:00 in there, we knew we were gonna have to remodel, but it's like every time you turned around, my contractor was telling me about the broken thing of the day. And we're not talking simple things.3:11 We're talking huge things. Everything that you could possibly think of that could happen to that house happened. And as Michelle would tell you, I was like, every day, it's like, if my contractor called me, we3:23 weren't in the house while they were fixing it, I was like, wait. It was like the shoe the other shoe was gonna drop. Like, what now? Please don't tell me.3:30 Well, and even after you did some of the renovations then, like, the water heater burst or, you know Yeah.3:37 There was stuff that was going through it all everywhere. And then, like, the first time it rained, it looked like that movie, a river runs through it, like, going through our yard and, like, there was stuff wrong with3:48 the pool and the AC. And then even when I'm getting the house painted, AC units that were already fixed and replaced now were pouring into the new painted ceilings and floors. I mean, it was4:00 just like, and I was so discouraged. And so I was like, Lord, what's happening? And it just I was so, like, like, beside myself about this to the point where I could hardly4:11 pray. I was just so discouraged and it was just so expensive4:16 and Well, did did I miss God? You know, sometimes whenever things like that happen, you feel like, well, did I miss God? And then you don't have confidence to pray.4:26 Yes. But I had to go back and I had to speak instead of declaring the problems. I started speaking God's word and saying, you said when you bless us, you add no sorrow to it, that this is going to be a4:38 place of peace and joy, that God, you are causing all things to work together for good. And you know, I had to remember and stop and say no, I I put the hedge of protection around this4:49 house. I send your angels, Lord God, to just surround this house and and and to to cause everything that would be the devil trying to bring destruction to my house and to try to steal5:01 from us because it was stealing a lot of finances, you know, that he we have to remember, instead of, like, worrying and expressing all of this, we have to go to what the word says. And5:13 we have to start speaking and taking our authority over the devil, over a spirit of destruction, over everything that was happening. And it's still it's like I I still am almost like when I have to, like, switch the AC5:25 on from the heat, it's like like I have to be amazed that it's all working. It's like but instead I go, thank you, Lord. I thank you for this house. I thank you that it's gonna work. It's all gonna work together. And5:36 this is how we have to be. We cannot immediately because all we're doing is causing us to have another trip around the mountain and causing us to get into an agreement with the devil when we are waiting for the other5:48 shoe to drop instead of knowing what God said and what God is gonna do about it.5:53 Right. And and I think when whenever we part of the testing of our faith is that we have to be confident in our position in Jesus. You know, if you6:05 haven't ever asked Jesus as your Lord and savior, we're gonna give you an opportunity to do that today. But he wants to hear all of your prayers. I I remember, when I6:17 was growing up, I knew a lady and I would tell her that I was praying about something that she considered minor. And she said, girl, God's too busy for that. That's6:29 true. I love6:30 it too. Yes. And I6:31 said, God's not too busy for that. He made the whole world. He's not too busy for that. You know, the Bible says be anxious for nothing, but in everything6:43 through prayer and petition and thanksgiving, make your request known to God. Yes. And and it so he wants you to bring him those things. Yes.6:54 Even the things that seem so little, whether it's a house repair, which believe me, they're not little. They they get to be expensive and and and that can really wreck a budget. And7:06 so, or or a health issue or maybe it's an issue with your children or maybe you've had trauma as a child. And as a result of not having that covering that you7:18 needed as a child, now as an adult and an adult Christian or not, you are still thinking that at any moment all of that turmoil7:30 is gonna happen again. And, you know, God says just rely on him, trust him, and he is gonna see you through it. No matter what happens7:42 and no matter what the situation looks like, you don't need the Bible says have no fear of bad news. So what does that say? Yes. We don't we even if our contractor is7:54 calling our house. Right?7:55 That's correct.7:56 Or a doctor is calling our house, which happened in my case this morning, you know. I've had an eye issue. And so, you know, the doctor's like, oh, you need to come back. Yeah. And so8:08 when things like that happen, it causes our heart to drop and, you know, God knows.8:14 You feel that feeling, but Yeah. That scripture you just mentioned, I have the whole thing here so you can look it up for yourself and, you know, print it out, read it off every day, personalize it. Psalm 1 12 6 through8:25 9. For we will not be shaken, we will not be moved. We do not have fear of bad news. We are confident. We trust in the Lord. He8:38 resolves us with confidence and in our confident is made firm. Isn't that awesome? And we will not succumb to fear before we look in triumph at the at our enemies.8:50 See, we can triumph over our enemies, and we will not be in fear. And we are gonna talk more about that when we come right back.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission today.9:59 Give now.10:02 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We are talking about if you are always waiting for the other shoe to drop, we're gonna just really get to the bottom of this so we can overcome this issue. And10:14 we're talking to ourselves here because it's a tough 1.10:17 And she said, you should talk more about your eye issue. About 6 weeks ago, I went on a trip, and I usually have these protocols when I go on a trip. And I was in an airport restroom, and I washed my10:29 hands, and I my eye was itchy, and I just reached up and rubbed it. And I thought to myself, you're gonna regret that. And guess what? You regret it. I regret it because I got some kind10:41 of infection.10:42 Depending the shoe to drop.10:44 So yes. And so I have for like 6 weeks just been on drops and having to see a doctor every week and it it turned into this, like, terrible eye infection. And so,10:56 you know, we just have to trust, you know, and there are articles in the news, you know, talking about, you know, certain eye drops have caused people to go blind. Don't you always see those things when you Google? And11:07 like all of these shoe dropping thoughts. Right? So what I've had to do is calm myself and say, the blood of Jesus is bigger than any eye infection. I am not gonna11:19 go blind. I'm believing God. I'm trusting God. I'm not gonna wait for the other shoe to drop. I'm gonna trust God and I'm gonna walk by faith and not by sight, no pun intended.11:32 You know, it is it's it's really all trauma based. Yeah. It really kind of is is maybe patterns that you've gotten into, like, through other things, other tough11:44 things that you've gone through. And it's almost like that flight or fight response. Like, you almost, like, get into that. Like, you'll a quick you know, when you see, like, your doctor's number pop up or you're11:56 seeing something and you're just like, what's this gonna be? And you you anticipate because you've been used to trauma in some ways and but you know, the devil tries12:08 to wear out the saints and he wants us so run ragged with worry and with fear and anxiety over the what ifs, and we have no12:19 control over the what ifs. But God knows everything, and God does not want us to fear. He doesn't want us to be worried. He wants us to have peace that surpasses all understanding. And, you12:31 know, when you rest in the Lord, rest is a weapon that the enemy hates. You know, you know, even, you know, Jesus had to get away and rest. Like,12:43 even think about even in the middle of the storm in the boat when the tumultuous waves in the storm, he was asleep. He, you know, he he even he even Jesus, when he was on the earth12:55 had to rest. And also Jesus said he couldn't do 1 thing about anything unless his father from heaven allowed him to or caused him to, and we have that13:07 same thing. Because not only that but we also have the Holy Spirit in us because of what Jesus did. And so we don't we can have that rest assurance always because if13:18 you stop and say Holy Spirit help me. Holy Spirit, just show me, you know, and and start rehearsing the word and not the problem. Just start praying over the situation. You13:30 know, I am blessed and cannot be cursed. This is, you know, I take my authority over anything that's operating in my house or in my body or whatever. You can take your authority, and then after you pray, you13:42 rest and you ask for peace. You get your praise music on, and you start coming after this thing with a vengeance because this is no more. And when when the devil starts to realize you're not13:54 falling for it, he's gonna leave you alone. Mhmm. You know? Think about like Jesus in the in the desert. It says when the devil was tormenting him, it finally said, and then when he threw everything he could at14:05 Jesus and he didn't work, it says then he left him alone. He left, and then the angels came and took care of him. Right. There you're there there's an end14:14 to it when you don't believe it. And that is called resisting the devil. Yes. Because the devil wants you to think you're not gonna get better, your marriage is never gonna get better, your children are never gonna be14:26 saved, you're never gonna be get out of the rut you are in financially, and the list goes on and on. And you know, and he'll the devil also uses people to come14:37 against you to drop those, bad news bombs. Right? Years ago, and Nina can tell you, I went through this thing with my esophagus, and I could14:49 barely swallow. It was just terrible. It was just like for months where where I could hardly get water down. And I remember going to church, at church, you know, where you're supposed to get faith. You would call.15:01 Yes. I would call. It was terrible. At night? And so, this lady at church, she saw me and because I could barely eat, she's like, girl, you are wasting15:13 away. And I I was worried about myself already, I did not need her to say that, and so I said, no I'm not. You know I just kind of15:24 like snapped back, not in a polite way necessarily. I was just like not gonna claim that. And she goes, yes, you are. And I said, no, I'm not. And I just15:36 believed that God was going to heal me, and no matter what I did, no matter how many doctors I saw, it was not working. I took medicine, I did all these things. And 1 night while I was asleep,15:48 the Lord healed me, and that is the truth. And this lady called me the next day and she goes, Michelle, how are you feeling? And I said, I feel great today. This is the first day I was able to really drink my coffee and16:00 it didn't bother me. And she said, she said, last night I got a word of knowledge and I claimed it for you that God was gonna heal your esophagus,16:13 and he did while I was sleeping, and it has never given me that problem like that again. Thank the Lord. God is faithful. You have to look in the face of the enemy,16:25 look in the face of family and friends if you have to, and say, no. This is what God's word says. No. This is not my permanent, situation here.16:35 Right? Rebuke it. Like, that's the thing. You're either gonna pick it up or you're not because we are either we're we're gonna you're gonna pick up what the devil's lies are and then you're gonna be on that that roller16:45 coaster, that mountain walking around it again and again because you believed that or you're gonna take your authority over those lies and you're gonna, you know, in at the onset, like, at the onset, right, like you16:57 did.16:57 And you have to stand up for yourself. You cannot receive a bad report from someone else saying how bad you look and all of those things. My youngest daughter still laughs about that to this day. She goes, mama, you are,17:08 like, arguing with this lady at the front of the church. And but, you know, it was what I needed to do that day.17:14 Well, because that's a good point because, you know, people can be, like, in church and think that, oh, that was a word for me in church, and then think because of where you are. But, you know, think about the devil. He17:25 used to live in heaven. He knows the word. He's got it all figured out, and he thinks he can come after you with churchology and church people and even the word when he's twisted it enough to17:37 fit, like, today's standards. But anyway, we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:45 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. When17:57 you donate to Grace Grace ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world as well as the United States.

You can also send in a check to 63 15 b FM 14 88 Road, number 118:32 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 commission today. Give18:44 now.18:47 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We're talking about waiting on the other shoe to drop, and we're not gonna do that anymore. And here is a scripture in Isaiah 54 13 and 14. It says, I18:59 will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace, and you will be secure in a land that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far19:11 away from you, and you will live in peace, and terror will not come near you. And in some versions, it says in harm, no harm shall ever come near you. And so when you know the19:22 word, that's why it's so important to know the word and know the word for yourself. Because even if things look so dire and so terrible and you are in a place where you might be19:34 thinking, oh, that was an eye issue or you had a broken air conditioner, but my problem is super terrible and super serious. Maybe it's you've gotten such a terrible doctor's report or you have a child that19:46 you just cannot see how he's ever gonna get delivered or or or or to come back from where they are. This is so important that you get your hopes up because God is a19:58 miracle working God and he doesn't want you to go around this this same old mountain of worry. You no matter what you see, faith is not logical.20:10 You speak because God is not logical. Our ways. His ways are so much higher than our ways. So what seems impossible to your carnal mind, you know, you get into agreement with what God says because he what can he not do?20:29 God starts it impossible. There is nothing too hard for him, and he can turn all things around in an instant. And you keep keep keep focusing on the word, keep speaking the word,20:40 keep declaring the victory, And don't pray about it. Don't get yourself all prayed up and pray about it, and then immediately someone asks you about it and go, well, I don't see how it's ever gonna20:52 happen. Don't negate your prayers. Guard your mouth because that's the key. Out of the life out of your tongue is blessings and cursing. Speak life or death. And you don't wanna curse the21:04 very prayers you just prayed. That is something we all have to put a guard on our hearts and our mouths. And speak the word nothing but the word no matter what, no matter21:16 what. And your miracle really is right under your nose.21:19 It's in your mouth. And, you know, the fruit of your life is in your mouth. So I cannot stress to you how important it is. And even like right now, in the21:31 day that we live in, if you look down at your phone and look at the news and look at the alerts and or if you watch the news, whatever however you get information,21:43 you're gonna see 1 thing after the other after the other. Talk about shoes dropping. You know, it's like, you know, the Bible talks about that that though the mountains be removed and21:55 be cast into the sea, that God's gonna keep you stable, like, no matter what. And you live and move and have your being in Jesus. At the end of the day, whether22:07 the economy collapses, whether there's another plague, whether whatever, you fix your eyes on Jesus, and he will take care of you. That is what you22:19 have to rest on right now. There has never been a time, I believe, almost in history, where we needed to rely on Jesus more than we need to right now. We need to not worry22:31 about what the news is saying, and we need to steep ourselves in the word. If if we can ask you to do 1 thing that will change your entire life, it is have a daily time with the22:42 Lord. Seek the Lord for you, for your household. Seek the Lord to know what it says in his word. Get in there every day. Know that word. Ask God to write it on22:54 your heart. There has never been a time when it was more crucial to what is going on in the earth and and not being shaken by everything that you hear23:06 and by bad news. And and you have to take your emotions and your feelings out of it. Do you know23:12 that facts don't care about your feelings? It just doesn't. And facts and the truth, that's the same thing. God's word is truth. It's the truth. It's the truth. You need to pound that into your head. His word is truth.23:24 Every man is a liar. And even if you don't feel like anything's gonna change, the truth is the truth no matter what. And God said it. His word will not return23:36 void. His word is complete and whole. It's alive. And again, the facts that that it doesn't care about your feelings. Your feelings take it out of the equation because it's not logical. Truth of23:48 what the Lord said sometimes is so illogical. It doesn't make sense because God is a miracle working God. And again, we we we don't know the Red Sea moment that God has24:00 planned for you, but you're not gonna see those moments if you keep declaring otherwise. You have to speak the word of God. You speak the truth. You speak the promise, and you never give24:11 up. And we are gonna pray about that, Michelle.24:14 Amen. And you know what? We don't want you to live a life of anxiety. Jesus does not want you to live a life of anxiety. He says that the that the chastisement of your peace was on his shoulders.24:26 So we believe in Jesus. We believe that he died on the cross and that that God raised him from the dead so that you might live and today could be that day for you. So let's just pray. If you have never asked Jesus into24:37 your heart, this is your opportunity right now to make Jesus Christ Lord of your life. So pray right now. Lord Jesus, I I believe that you died on24:49 the cross for me. I believe that you wrote that God raised you from the dead, and I believe that you want me to ask you into my heart, and I ask you into my heart25:01 right now, and I ask you to be the Lord of my life. Change me forever. I am born again in your spirit right now, in Jesus' name. And father, I pray for25:13 every person that is dealing with anxiety, fear, with health issues, with financial issues, with relationship issues, with people in their family that they know are not saved. We pray right25:25 now that they would be saved in Jesus' name, filled with the spirit, healed, blessed, and that, god, that you will open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing more than they can handle even right now. Even25:36 right now. In Jesus' name, we will not wait for the other shoe to drop. In Jesus' name. Amen. Hallelujah. That was so good. And, you know, we just know25:43 that we know that we know, that that what we are saying is the truth. And we have seen many miracles. We have25:55 witnessed things that that are just, you know, can't happen in the natural. And we know that God will do the same for you. He is no respecter of person. So what do you need? You just pray it, you speak it, and you26:07 never give up. Amen. But we are so glad that you watched our broadcast today. We just know it's gonna bless you. And we just want you to you know, if you want more, go find us on social media. We are all over. We wanna26:18 hear from you. We wanna hear your prayer request. We are so happy to pray with you.
