The Open Door: Jesus as the Only Way 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 this just a simple scripture, and it's I I just, I I found it just a couple weeks ago, and I I I know I've read it a thousand1:08 times. But, you know, when when something pops out to you and it's so simple, it's in John, and it just says, Jesus is the open door. And that just stopped me. It's like, how simple is1:20 that? Because, you know, I I think different times in your life, you you realize things in a different perspective. And, and we've been saying how we think it's go time. Like like, it's Jesus is the1:32 only way. Go time meaning, you know, I think we have a small window. I think if we look around at the time that the times that we are standing in, really, the book of Revelation1:43 saying about about lawlessness and and about, you know, the wars and the rumors of wars and all the things, you know, everything good is evil and everything evil is good and all these things. And, you know, we have to1:55 look at what Jesus is saying and doing in this time. And if we don't know Jesus, he's the only 1. He is the door. He is the open door. He is the only2:06 way to heaven, period. End of story. Drop the mic on that 1. There is no other way. And so we want to make sure, you know, that that you know Jesus and that2:18 he is your savior. At the end of this program, we're going to give you opportunity to pray because it is go time. This is this is it.2:25 Go time and and honestly that open door is we've been given a reprieve, and it's happening all over the world really, where,2:37 countries that were pressed down and oppressed by basically tyrants Mhmm. Lawless tyrants are now voting them2:49 out to these leaders and replacing them with leaders that will allow freedom of speech, that will allow, you know, the gospel to be preached. But how long is that gonna3:01 last? Yeah. I believe that there there is an open door, and there's gonna be a date it's gonna shut. So what do we do now with the opportunity? We3:13 like like Nina was saying, Jesus is the only way. We know that. Yes. We know that Jesus is the only way. We know that he is the way, the truth, the life, and we3:25 know that he's knocking. He's knocking at the door of your heart. It says if you open the door, he will come in, and he will have a personal relationship with you. How do I know3:36 that? Because the next part of the scripture says, I will come in and sup with you. That means that he's gonna have fellowship with you. What do you do when you sit down for dinner with with3:48 your family or with with a person that you love? You are talking and you're having fellowship and there's a relationship. It's not just, you know, that you know about4:00 him. He wants you to sup with him. There is a difference. You're this part is you're opening the door and and then Jesus is gonna open the door. Once you4:12 make sure you know him, then he's gonna make sure that that door opens for you to minister. And I believe that the open door is your ministry. What do you4:23 have in your hand to do for the Lord? God is going to open the door in this next season, and you're going to use it. I really believe that.4:31 Right. Because if you think about what you're saying, you know, first, you know, we knock and he opens. And then there's the next where he knocks and we open Yeah. The door. And so if you look4:43 at that, it's it's a 2 way street like any relationship. And so, you know, he wants to come in. He wants us to come and be with him. And so how can there be any4:55 relationship that's that's a loving, good, solid relationship that that is a 1 way street? And so we have to listen for that knocks that knocking, those promptings of the Lord. You know,5:07 we know you know, I don't I don't know. It seems like even before I was saved, you know, you feel like, I knew the Lord, I went to church and all that, but it was a5:18 religion, but I still knew right from wrong in so many ways. You still know Right. What what is, like, whether it is a knocking, whether it is that. Because you I knew even as a kid,5:30 like, you don't know. That's not good. That's not right. Don't go down that way. Don't do this. Don't do that. Do this instead. Like, you know, you spelled those promptings even before I really knew what any of that was5:42 or I was really even saved because, you know, he created us. Our bodies, our souls are always, always trying to trying to be in in presence with5:54 him. He's always trying to reach us.5:56 Our hearts were5:57 made for eternity. Yes. And so he's always and so when you think about him wanting that open door, that relationship with us, that intimacy with us as his children, that he's gonna keep knocking, and that6:09 we should too. We should always, like, you know, in the mornings, you know, sit with him and say, here I am. What do you have for me today? What's on your heart today, God? Sit there and then be quiet. Listen for what he6:20 has to say. Of course, get in the word, worship, read things for yourself, see what pops out. But always ask him. Seek him. What what what are we doing today? What's on your heart today? And just knock on that door6:32 because he's gonna come in when when he wants to come in and have that fellowship, and he wants you to seek him first. And when you do those things, you're gonna see some doors opening. You're gonna see him speak6:44 to you. You're gonna start having revelations of of, you know, the word and ideas of maybe something you need to do next or where you need to go or what you need to be part of. And and, honestly, there's6:55 nothing like it because it's just a a it's a supernatural relationship.7:00 It is a supernatural relationship. And and I think about, you know, when we seek first the kingdom of heaven, then all things come to you. So what are we doing right now7:12 to to find out what our next steps are? I do believe that God in my spirit right now, I I just believe God is sparking some of you. You're thinking about what7:24 ministry the Lord has put in your heart, and then some of you are saying, God, I don't really don't even know what to do for you, but I want to do something. And, you just know that you want to do something7:36 for God. So just seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and then he's gonna tell you. He he says7:48 that he will tell you once you open the door to Jesus and you have that fellowship with him, you my recommendation would be get up in the morning,8:01 read the word, get in the word, turn on some praise music, begin to worship the Lord, begin to call out. It says, come to me with all kinds of prayers and8:12 supplications and make your request known to God. We have not because we ask not. You want to make prayer a priority, and and it even says pray without ceasing. So, you8:24 know, I mean, all day long, I'm I'm calling out to God. I I'm saying, God, I cry to you. Sometimes I'm in a meeting and I'm saying I'm cry I cry to you, God. I'm asking you to do a8:36 work. Nobody knows I'm praying, but I am. I'm desperate for God. I want God to show me. I want him to open the doors. And we come back when we come back, we're gonna talk more about that.8:47 Just like all of you, I had problems sleeping. I had tried every pillow out there and nothing worked. I'd flip flop all night, use my arm for support, and I'd fall asleep, or I'd wake up with a sore neck or maybe a8:59 headache.

Nothing else. If you think9:59 that there's you've been good, that you've done all these great things for the Lord, you know, if you don't have a relationship with him, then it it doesn't matter. You know, because I'll tell you, even10:11 at church yesterday, the pastor was saying that on some of the Wednesday nights and things, and it's really just a worship night. And so you think that all the people that are coming to that are just know the10:23 Lord, and they're having a worship night. And he said, but he felt led, you know, to to do an altar call if anybody does anybody not really are you sure that you know the Lord? And he said at10:35 first, he knows, I was thinking, you know, you know, I'm just gonna stand here and see what happens because he had a prompting to ask that. And he said, but his spirit wanted to say,10:47 you know, come on. It's worse everybody's here because they know Let's stay. Everybody's here. Everybody's here. Right? Yeah. Why are they here? And he said, and so I was standing, I was waiting and waiting, and he goes,10:56 and all of a sudden some young guy just from the corner came up, and he goes, it's me. It's me. And he came up and gave his life to the Lord, and he said he goes, Jesus in all of heaven rejoicing over11:08 1. And if I didn't give that altar call and so so that's that's the thing about it. It's like we that's what breaks my heart. You know, I know that I know that everybody thinks11:19 that if you're a good person, it's really the bad people that aren't going to heaven. There's so many people that think that way. There's all these evil people that don't go to heaven. That isn't the truth. That isn't11:29 the truth. It doesn't matter. If you just think you're fine with God, that you go to church every week, it doesn't mean you're saved. We have to make sure that you really know the Lord, that you have invited Jesus11:41 through that open door to come into your heart and to be just the Lord and savior of your life. Because every single heaven rejoices over every single soul,11:53 and the Lord has really given Michelle and I both a burden for that, that that it's an end time harvest. That's what he told us we would be, and I have such a burden for, do they know? Do they know?12:04 Do they know him? Because for so many years, like I said, I was in a religion, I thought I was fine with God, I did not even question that. I'm good, I'm 1 of the good people. I was afraid12:16 to do anything wrong, so I just thought I was good. But it's until when I invited him into my heart, everything changed for me. Everything. Because even though I thought it was fine with God, I was a hot12:28 mess. Like like anxiety and all kinds of things. Yeah.12:32 Yeah.12:32 And it it starts with, you know, a relationship. When we have that relationship with Jesus, then then things begin to change. The Bible says12:44 old things pass away. Behold, everything becomes new, and you become a new creation in Christ. Yes. And, you know, I think about you know, we had Larry12:56 Hock on a previous show, pastor Larry Hock. Mhmm. And he said, you know, here he was in Columbia shooting up heroin into his veins,13:08 and he said he thought he was gonna die because he had, I guess, taken an accidental overdose or something. Like, he was worried that he was gonna die from it. That's how bad it was. And he said that13:20 he called out and said, I don't wanna die until I found happiness. And I really believe that when when we get saved, that's the that's the joy, that's the peace that you're13:32 looking for. And and and I think about with with him, he ended up moving back to the States, pastor Larry did. He wasn't a pastor then. He was in drug trafficking,13:44 and he ended up moving back to the States. And someone, some passerby came up to him and began to talk to him about God. Think about that guy. You know? You could be13:56 that guy for someone. You could be that lady for someone that would walk up to someone who had cried out to God. God heard their prayer even though they had shot up with heroin. God14:08 hears the cry of the of those who are poor in spirit, and he he wants to help them. You can be the answer by hey. Don't be ashamed of the gospel. The14:20 Bible says that I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of salvation. We have got to get past our pride, get14:32 past being, afraid to do it. Who cares if they don't like you? This is this there's they have to accept Jesus before they die.14:43 Right? So you don't know when someone's gonna die. You don't know how much time you have. So we wanna tell everybody around us that Jesus is the14:55 only way. Allah is not the way. Buddha is not the way. Hinduism all the gods that Hinduism has, there's over 300000 gods.15:07 That's not the way. There's 1 true god. He Jesus came. He died on the cross for our sins. He bled and died. There is no 1 righteous.15:19 I know some of you are going, but I'm a good person. No 1 is righteous, not even 1. Yep. Only him. Only Jesus is righteous. So think about15:31 that and remember that we have all fallen short of the glory of God. We have all sinned and fallen short. So we are in need of a savior, and there's15:43 only 1 God that came down, stepped out of heaven, lived a perfect life, was the perfect sacrifice for your sins, died on the cross for you,15:55 and He is inviting you to open the door of your heart and ask Him to come in because He wants to be the Lord of your life, and he is the only way to heaven. I'm telling you16:07 he's the only way. That's what the Bible says, that he is the way, the truth, and the life. Yes. Period.16:14 And nobody comes. Nobody comes to the Lord except through Jesus. And, you know, God chooses you. He chose you before you were ever born. So God chooses you, and then he can use you because16:26 he wants us that's why we're here, to disciple and to go tell others about Jesus because that's the thing I I think about when we're gonna give an account. It's really not just16:38 about the things we do in life, but it's about what we didn't do. And so I think sometimes if if he's prompting you or you know you're supposed to go talk to somebody, of course, the devil's gonna tell you all the16:50 reasons why you shouldn't. But it's you're you're worried about what they might think about you. Who cares? You serve an audience of 1. If God puts you in that position to go and speak to that person, don't you17:02 think he's gonna take care of the rest? He's not just like going, oh, well, sorry. You screwed up. You missed that 1. No. That's not how he works. And so many times when he leads us to go talk to somebody or tell17:12 somebody, we don't even know what we're gonna say until you Yeah. Till you start opening your mouth because God wants you to step out in faith and do it. And then then you'll know exactly what to say. But he's gonna17:24 do the heavy lifting. You're just there to plant some seeds. Just do what he says. And then And he says those he17:30 says, open your mouth and17:31 I will17:32 fill it. And we're gonna come back in just a minute. Yeah.17:34 This past year has been 1 of the hardest in MyPillow's history. It's because of you that we're making it through.

Not only that, order 75 dollars or more shipped absolutely free. From all of us here at MyPillow Thanks for being on.18:34 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we're talking about how Jesus is the open door. And Jesus is so much bigger than anything that you are worried about. He knows everything18:46 about you. He knows what you need. He knows what you've done. He knows your past. He knows all of your your shortcomings, your failures, everything. And so, so many people18:58 say, oh, you know, I've done too much. We hear that that is such a classic statement. And so, then we have to remind ourselves about the thief on the cross, the guy dying on19:10 the cross right next to Jesus, and that was, like, a punishment for a horrific criminal. This isn't just some shoplifter. This is, he's probably murdered somebody. We don't know. It doesn't say, but we know19:22 that punishment was for the very worst. And yet, Jesus said, when he said, remember me, he cried out to Jesus because that's the only way, remember me. And Jesus said,19:34 you will be with me in paradise today. And so that's that's how much he loves you. That's how much you cannot get this wrong. That's how much you don't have to get good to get God. You don't have to get cleaned up. You19:46 don't have to change a bunch of stuff and think, you know, I got time. Because nobody has time. We never know when our last day on Earth is. And that's the biggest mistake people make is thinking they have time,19:57 or they don't want to, like, live this perfect life. That's what a lot of people think, that there's, you know, Christianity is just there's no fun in it. It's all this. It's stuffy. It's this. It's that. And they think,20:08 well, I just want to live my life, and then at the end of my life, I'll give my life to the Lord. Well, you don't know when the end of your life is. You don't know when your last day on earth is, and we're telling you20:17 this with an urgency. And if you think that that that your life is good now, if you are living the on purpose, God ordained, planned out20:29 life that he has for you, which you will only live if you call on Jesus and make him Lord of your life, then you haven't even begun to to to touch on what he has in store for you. You have an20:41 eye has not seen, ear has not heard, the plans that he has in store for you. You and I say all the time, we could never have said, Oh yeah, we're gonna have a TV show for God. No! We didn't have this20:53 even as a notion in any way, and here we are getting to serve him and preach the gospel on platforms all over the world. Only God could do that. But we have our tests and our21:05 monies. We went through a lot of stuff. We did. And to to be able to maybe have some wisdom about what we're speaking because we've seen him be real in our lives and in our21:16 family's lives over and over again. So we we know he's real. We're telling you that from time and time again the things we've seen him do. We've seen healings. We've seen miracles. We've seen him do21:28 amazing things. It's it's powerful. And there's nothing21:33 that is more fun to me Yes. Than serving the Lord. I I mean, honestly, the thing that we have done and laughed about and21:45 I mean, this is many things. You know, the other day, I sent Naina a picture of, we our breakfast, at NRB recently. We we we21:57 save our we we have a hard time finding things to eat because we're both gluten free. So we'll save, like, the the gluten free toast or whatever, and and we just, like, wrap it and put in a drawer, and we'll take a22:09 picture of it for later. And it's silly. It's very silly, but we laugh about it.22:14 Nobody thinks it's funny but us.22:16 An ongoing joke. Yes. They are totally sure. A picture of of of the breakfast and and, you know, just like silly things, but we've also been in the presence of just the most22:28 amazing godly people, people, the generals of the faith, and sometimes I look around and go, god, how did I get to you? Exactly. It's amazing. Who am I? And and I always22:39 think, but god allowed it. And and and all it started with was a yes by opening the door to him, and the rest was history and saying22:51 yes on the daily, saying yes to yes. I'm gonna read your word so I know what it says so that no 1 in these end times can cause me to be deceived. You know, it's so23:03 important. If you have never read the word of God, get a version of the Bible that you can understand that is written in a language that that is gonna make you understand it and23:15 or get in a Bible study. Make sure you're in church. Get a pastor that loves God, that believes everything in the Bible. In other words, if somebody in your church is very sick,23:27 if they're not going over to lay hands on them, to pray for them, you might be in the wrong church because the Bible says to do that. Yep. Make sure that your church is doing all23:38 that the Bible says to do. And get under a pastor, get under the word, make sure you're in prayer, make sure you spend time in prayer, and make sure you listen.23:50 Wait and listen. Worship the Lord. You know, the the Bible says that worship is, he inhabits the praises of his people. So think of all these wonderful things that you can24:02 have, and all you have to do is open the door, and then he's gonna open the door. That's so true. Your opportunity.24:08 I know he'll and a lot of times I know when he's speaking to me and I'm writing things down, it'll be something I never say, never thought of, some word, something and it's and that's how I know it's him. It's like, I24:19 don't talk like that. I don't say that. And I and it'll really stand out to me, and then I'll research what that is or what are you trying to say during this, and he'll always confirm it. You know, just just, you know,24:31 being with Jesus and having Jesus lead your life is just there's nothing better. There's nothing better. We're not saying your life is gonna be perfect because that's not the case,24:40 but That's how we got the test in24:42 the moment. But but, there's how could you go through life without him? So, Michelle, do you wanna pray for our viewers to know24:48 Jesus? Pray with me right now. If you've never met the Lord or even if you have, we're gonna pray for 2 things. So, Lord, right now, Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for my24:59 sins. I believe that your father, God, raised you from the dead and that that I believe that you are Lord, and I ask you into my heart. I open the door of my heart,25:11 and I say come in. And for those of you who have done this, we ask right now, Lord, show them what you want them to do for you. Lord, let them serve25:23 in your household. Lord, let them serve, let them serve the king of kings and the lord of lords. In Jesus' name, amen.25:32 Amen. We are so grateful to you all.
