Perseverance and Faith: Never Giving Up 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.0:55 Hi. I'm Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about not giving up. Amen. It's so many people are so close to just getting that breakthrough, and yet the1:07 devil wants to to come in, and he wants to tell you it's never gonna happen, and he wants you to give up right before your breakthrough is coming. And God is just saying stand your ground because he is1:19 not, you know, a God that should be away from you in your trials. And he wants you to just keep focused on him and not give up. We want the enemy to give up, not God. Because even1:31 when Jesus was tempted in the desert, it was the devil who gave up. Because it says, when he had thrown everything he could at Jesus and nothing worked, then he gave up, he went1:43 away, and Jesus the angels came and took care of him, and his ministry started. So we're gonna stand around, hold tight, and today we're gonna talk all about not giving up.1:53 Well, even the bible says, you know, Nina, that, you know, if if we do not give up, do not be weary in well doing because if we continue on and we faint2:05 not, we shall receive our reward. And that's 1 thing we have to always remember, that the law of perseverance is a an absolute key to the2:17 kingdom. I mean, I promise you that if you haven't learned this lesson yet and you're 1 of those people that jumps ship, which I can do too. I'm not saying, you know, that it's2:29 just others. It can be me too where we just are not waiting long enough, and and and we stop right before that breakthrough. And I'm telling you, if you're at a place2:41 and you need a breakthrough, remember that you stay in there. Like, if if you're praying for a soul, say, and you've been praying for years, and you're just thinking,2:52 well, you know what? I have been praying for so long, and that's just not gonna happen. And I I just can't even imagine that that's ever gonna happen, so you just stop praying. And you know what?3:04 God is so much bigger than that. God hears our prayers. You just keep praying. You just keep saying, god, I just declare and decree that today you are3:16 gonna save this person. And today you're gonna surround them with the godly. And today you're gonna drop down by the power of your Holy Spirit, and you're gonna have them dream dreams and see3:28 visions, and you're gonna pour out your spirit upon this person. And I always just picture, Naina, whenever I'm thinking about praying for souls, I think I'm I just picture3:39 myself like lifting up that person before the altar of the Lord and leaving them at his feet because he wants to save them and it3:51 might take a while, but I'm telling you do not give up, do not lose heart. Right?3:57 Oh my gosh. My own personal story with with, my brother and this, honestly, we were so hurt. This is real news. Like, it's 3 weeks4:09 ago. Like, for our whole lives, we were very hurt in a religion that, we grew up in. And then very hurt at home, if some of you have heard our my testimony.4:20 And so my brother is the best guy. He's the sweetest guy, give you the shirt off his back kind of person. Like, you know, you mention his name, everybody loves him. And I would talk to him all the time about, the4:32 Lord and and, and he's like, Yeah, you know, I'm glad you have your journey, but but it's really not for me. I mean, but he he he never, you know, said anything bad about it or anything.4:45 But I just I just knew that, you know, God, I need to know that my brother will be in heaven. And and that's been for years and years and years. And, he's4:56 recently, you know, going through a little bit of a health problem. And you all please pray for him. And, you know, so I I was able to really talk to him about how Jesus can heal, and that, you know,5:08 first things first, let's, you know, he's more concerned about your, your, your, spiritual heart, your spiritual well-being, your spiritual body before the physical. And, so5:20 he I did not give up. And he gave his life to the Lord. And so praise God. That is such a huge That5:26 was just a few weeks ago.5:27 Few weeks ago. Praise God. And I'm telling you, it's been years and years and years, but we don't give up. And so God knows exactly what we need. He's got the bird's eye view. He's right there. And you know, think about5:39 Jesus interceding for us. Right? And so what could be better than that? And so when we're praying and he's up there interceding on our behalf for what we need, you know, we just we5:50 just want things like Insta God, you know, like cup of soup. You know, that's we want it really fast. Like, right now, we don't we we we're a lot of people nowadays just have everything so quick that6:02 we don't have the the long haul. But that's where the faith comes in, where you just stretch your faith to believe that God's gonna take care of this in his perfect timing. And so we can't, again, like you6:14 said, don't get weary in well doing and don't faint not because when you persevere and don't give up, and you stand your ground, that's where we're gonna see the miracles manifest. But we just we have to keep6:26 on pressing in and pressing on because if the Bible says we can have it, we can have it no matter how long it takes.6:34 Well, and I think about, like, just calling on the Lord and asking the Lord to do miracles, like, gather your the Bible says 1 will send a6:45 thousand to flight, Naina, and 2 10000. Can you6:48 picture that? Just think of that.6:50 That's 10000. Find somebody who has the faith that you do and get in there and pray. And I remember, you know, and and nothing is a finished work, you know, because7:02 we're dealing with people, but years ago we got together and we were praying for this person, and we we actually went away and7:14 prayed with several ladies Yeah. And, kind of, attic like a a lady's house. And so we went to this lady's house, and basically all weekend, we we7:26 laughed and then we prayed. We went to a monastery.7:29 About about 8 of us, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.7:31 Yeah. And we went there to to kind of just do battle.7:34 Right.7:35 And do you know that, you know, by the time we drove up in the driveway, we had a testimony Yeah. Already Mhmm. From that weekend about a prayer that we had7:47 been calling on God for forever in a day, and I'm telling you it was awesome. We got a call that, this person was at the altar with his head7:59 down on the altar, and they would have taken a picture except they thought it would have been disrespectful. And I just thought, you know, God, you are amazing. You are8:10 absolutely amazing because not only did we get an answer to prayer, we got an absolute miracle because this person wasn't budging,8:22 but when these 8 women of faith and power got together and started praying, we got a guy who was totally proud, and then we had him8:34 face down, bowed down on an altar by that next Sunday. So praise God. Don't give up. We'll talk more when we come back.8:44 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest 3 in 1 sale ever with a limited edition product, a back in stock special, and a closeout deal you won't find anywhere else.

We're talking about not giving up and just hanging in there and and just believing and trusting God no matter what it is that you're dealing with. And and, you9:56 know, we know this all too well. I mean, I I can't even tell you how many times that we are on the phone standing in agreement together because the bible says that when 2 or more gather, trusting10:08 and believing we shall have what we have prayed. And so we do that all the time. Get get a good accountability person that's gonna believe the outcome you're believing for. Do not tell your problem to10:20 everybody and anybody. It's only, only to the people who are gonna get in there and are gonna agree with you in this powerful time of prayer because Amen. Because we don't want It matters. A whole bunch of people10:32 who are gonna be like, well, I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna work. You don't want any doubters. And you don't want anybody filling your mind with doubt because what does the Bible say about that? A double10:42 minded man is unstable in all of their ways. Unstable in all of their ways. And so we want single mindedness. We wanna be stable in all of our ways.10:54 And we wanna trust God with what his word says for whatever we're standing in. You know, you think about it, Michelle, like, what when God has, like, the whole story, like, he sees the11:06 whole thing. We may be stuck over here on, in our book. God wrote us a book. Right? He said he wrote a book before we ever lived the day. He was the author and the finisher. So I always think about my book. And I think,11:18 you know, I might be over here on page 56 and I'm hating it. I'm just miserable. I'm worried about things. I've got something going on that I'm fighting through and I'm trying to get through it. And I'm,11:30 you know, ready to throw in the towel or whatever. And then, you know, we don't know. God might be saying, page 57, page 59. It's right around the corner. Just just hang on. I got11:42 this. But the devil really will fight you the hardest. I've known this to be true in my own life and ours. Like, every time we're so close to a breakthrough. Honestly, that's when he11:53 comes at you with a, it'll never happen. You're never gonna get it's like all the warfare. He doesn't want you blessed. He doesn't want your breakthrough. He wants you to give up and miss out on the blessings that are12:04 coming your way. And so we're we're saying, stand around. Hang on. The page is about to turn, and God is going to take care of it. And, you know, he just he's working behind the scenes with12:16 the people that are involved in your blessing, and in what needs to happen for the whoever you're praying for, or whatever it is you're praying for. He's working it out.12:26 Amen. And and you know what? Spiritual warfare is real. It really is. Like, I We to12:32 the hand. It's like, we know that.12:36 Well, I'm telling you it is you know you know it's crazy. We've been working on this national revival for that that is going on in12:48 the colleges right now, And so we're having this big event at the Kennedy Center and it is, we're expecting that the Holy13:00 Spirit is going to pour out his spirit on the people in that building right there in Washington DC, and that's gonna happen this week. And when I tell you13:12 since I started working on this thing, the warfare, it has almost been unbearable. I could cry thinking about it, but let me tell13:24 you, it is good to have battle buddies. Thank you, Nina.13:28 How do you know13:28 your own? That's right.13:30 In the right place.13:30 That's right. I mean it has been unbelievable, but I do believe that God is going to do a great and mighty work, and I'm so grateful for my husband. He's13:42 also we're we're battle buddies, you know. Sometimes he looks at me, and I've said this before, and he's like, Michelle, we're gonna find out just how good of Christians we really are. You know, because it's easy to13:54 believe God when everything's normal, but when when the enemy begins to stir up and throw a rock in the hornet's nest, then you're getting stung all around,14:06 that's a whole different level. And and and when I I mean, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen. I mean seriously, they're taught they've gotten permission already to be able to baptize14:18 in the fountains of the Kennedy Center in DC, like who has ever done that? I don't know.14:26 I believe it's gonna be a huge line. That's what we're declaring.14:29 Exactly. But you14:30 know what? Michelle and I, speaking of that, we recently, were, went to do a women's conference. And we were the speakers, and then we were speaking on a Friday night and a Saturday night. And14:42 honestly, the warfare around that on before we ever did the whole women's conference and afterwards, it was horrific. But14:54 after the Friday night, you know, where we so many people came to the altar call, we spoke, we felt the Holy Spirit. And so many people came on Saturday then and said, I slept for the first time in15:06 years. My pain is gone. This happened. So this person called me.15:10 Break the brakes.15:11 We were restored. Like, so many God just moved. It has absolutely nothing to do with us. We were just the vessels bringing our testimonies and praying over people. But God rocked it15:23 out. But you know what? We the devil hates that we are doing these things. And so he wants us to give up. And there's times where Michelle knows. I have my little equip ministry,15:35 I move into Wisconsin to live in a cabin in the woods.15:38 Every time. Every time she says these words.15:41 And then15:42 And I'm like, what are you talking about?15:44 Literally 5 minutes later, I'm like, God, I'm so sorry. I know I'm called. My burden is for souls. Like, I you know, that's what our burden is. People need to know the Lord. And and I do15:56 believe, we believe that time is running out. You know, God, Jesus is coming. He's coming. It's go time. And I feel like that's why there's so much warfare,16:07 concerning ministries and, and, and getting people saved. And so, we're here to take as many people with us as we can. And, and so we're not gonna give up on anything. Or the healings that you need. Or the16:19 restoration of your children. Or of your marriage. Or the your finances needing a breakthrough. We're just not gonna give up because we know God has the answers. And it's so much better than we can16:31 ask or think. We just have to trust him, and we can't be double minded. We can't pray and then speak the problem. We just have to keep on speaking the promise, the blessing, and and16:43 and the breakthrough is at hand. Keep saying that, I don't know what you're doing, God, but you're it's gonna be good. I know you're there. I know you've got this whole thing. And so we're gonna talk more about that when16:53 we come right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.16:57 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest 3 in 1 sale ever with a limited edition product, a back in stock special, and a closeout deal you won't find anywhere else.

Quantities are extremely limited, so17:56 order now.17:58 Welcome back to Grace Grace. We're talking about never giving up. Now that's a big deal, never giving up. Right? When when we're talking about never giving up, we're saying, you18:10 know what? Whose report will you believe? You know, we will believe the report of the Lord. And if if you've gotten a bad report about, you know, whatever it is from18:21 your doctor, If you got a bad report from a child of yours. If you got a bad report going on in your marriage, just begin to envision18:34 if everything would be exactly as you could just like I had hasn't seen, ear hasn't heard kind of thing. You know, with your family, with this person, with your life and18:46 your healing, think about, like the Bible says, call those things that are not as though they are. So, you know, that builds faith and and that helps me not to give up.18:58 Whenever I begin to think, oh, you know, when the enemy comes to me with thoughts of this is never gonna happen, this person's never gonna give their life to Jesus, This is never gonna happen, you19:10 know, and I just have to go and take it to another level.19:14 I have19:14 to think, wait a minute, wait a minute, that's not how God speaks to me. When God speaks to me, he's talking to me about awesome things that are gonna happen. And then I just start saying, hey. And then then not only are19:25 they gonna be saved, they're going to be in ministry. I'm gonna listen to their testimony right there. I'm gonna be in an audience, and I'm gonna hear it from the microphone19:37 because they're gonna be talking about look what the Lord has done, whether it's a healing, whether it's a life, whether it's a financial breakthrough. What is it? Are you praying for a19:49 new job? And you think I'm never I'm always gonna be stuck here. I'm just stuck in this rut and I don't know how to get out. And just begin to think, okay. What would it look like if I got20:01 out? First of all, you have to think about it. You have to think, God, what is it you want me to do? And if you don't know, think about the things that bring you joy, things that you want to do for God, things that20:12 you're passionate about passionate about, and think, you know what? I'm going to go out and I'm going to help, deliver people out of sex trafficking. I'm going to go out and I20:24 am going to, minister to orphans and widows. I'm going to minister people who have, who are hungry or who, or who have hurricane damage or whatever it is20:36 that God has put on your heart, and then make sure that you're going after it. Do not give up. Think about, like, the most impossible20:48 thing that could happen, and then, you know what, where I am right now even is like a dream that I had from when I was a teenager, you know. And and that was21:00 impossible. It looked stupid. It actually when I said it out loud and I said it to other people, they probably thought, yeah. You know, probably not gonna happen. And you know what? I I just21:12 thought, no. Because I really, God told me it was gonna happen. So it wasn't me being arrogant or anything like that. It was me saying and coming into agreement with21:24 the report of the Lord. Amen. And the report of the Lord said I was going to do these things, and I absolutely my husband is a is a witness to it that I would say these21:36 things and it and they happened. And they happened, and now it's like I hasn't seen I never dreamed I would do this. That's kind of may of amazing, you know?21:45 But you know what? You didn't waver. And that's that is the key, I think. Because so many times what does the bible say? The power of life and death are in your tongue. Speak life. And honestly, I think if anything21:57 drives me more crazy, it's like if my if my if I have my kids up here, which they're behind the scenes here, and if the if if if I had 10 cents for every time I say, don't22:09 say that. Don't speak that. Don't do you know, because22:13 My kids say that back to me now.22:14 Yeah. Because it's like, don't speak that. Because honestly, the devil's not omniscient. He's not omnipresent. He he only knows what we say and what we speak and what we22:26 think or what we watch, where he can get a foothold, and what he can get a gateway in. And so we have to remember that, like, Jesus didn't go around fighting the devil. He didn't. He wasn't in some battle with the22:38 devil all the time. He just spoke the word. It is written. So when we speak the promises of God, say, no. I'm standing my ground. I'm not giving up. This is what the Bible says about my situation.22:50 And honestly, use your concordance. Go look up all the scriptures about anxiety, about fear, about health, about about your children, about anything, finances. It's in there. You find them. You personalize23:02 them. You stand on them and you say, I'm not giving up no and then I guarantee you, here's what's gonna happen. More bad news is gonna come. The devil's just gonna pile it on, and you're gonna say it's not working. That23:12 isn't that it's so Yeah. Classic.23:14 It's so true.23:15 And so you say, no. This is a trick. This is a tactic. He's a liar. I'm gonna pray more. I'm gonna stand on these scriptures even more. And I'm not giving up. I am not giving up. And God23:26 said, you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. And when you know that I need strength, God strengthen me. The joy of the Lord is your strength. And he's gonna see you through every single thing you23:38 need. You just stand strong. You speak the word, and we're gonna pray for you right now, Michelle.23:43 Amen. If you're discouraged, we want you to be encouraged, and we want you to never give up. And so we're gonna pray for a spirit of perseverance to come on you, and we're also23:55 gonna pray for breakthroughs. So pray with me right now. Now if you have never met Jesus Christ as your savior, we want you to do that first. Ask him to be the lord of your life. The Bible says Jesus24:07 stands at the door of your heart and he knocks. And if you will open the door of your heart and ask him to come in, he will come in and and and sup with you. He will be the lord of your life. Just ask him to24:19 forgive you of your sins and to and to turn and and say, I believe that Jesus is the son of God, that he rose he died for me on a cross, and he rose from the dead, and you shall be24:31 saved. And so, Lord, right now, we we pray that that, God, that every person listening, Lord, that that souls are being saved right now, that, Lord, that people who are24:43 praying for people to be saved, Lord, that they're gonna get a breakthrough, people who are praying and they're desperate because they've gotten bad reports, Lord, from their doctors. We pray for a healing,24:55 Lord, and they're gonna get a breakthrough and they're not gonna give up. And we pray, God, for those who are discouraged and who have allowed their their hearts to be hardened by sin or just by just being weary in well25:06 doing. We pray that they would be encouraged and that their hearts would be softened, and we ask you for these things, God, in Jesus' name for mighty breakthroughs, father, and for a mighty spirit of perseverance to25:18 pour out on them. In Jesus' name, amen.25:22 Thank you so much for watching our broadcast today. We love you guys so much.

Send us your prayer requests and your praise reports. We wanna hear from you. We love you guys. Stay tuned. There's a great message ahead from Daryl Youngblood. We love you guys so much. God25:43 bless.25:44 Why do atheists care so much about Christians anyway? Well, they tell you this. Religion is bad. It's the cause of most wars. But again, evidence shows differently. It shows25:56 that out of 1763 documented wars, only a hundred and 23 were due to religion. That's between 6 and 7 percent. When you take out Islam, that only leaves 326:08 percent of all wars that could be attributed to religion.26:15 Does science disprove God? Is there a war between science and faith?26:20 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?26:26 Am I delusional for my beliefs?26:28 It is delusional and stupid.26:30 Am I brainwashed?26:31 Do I ignore reason?26:33 Logic. Critical thinking.26:34 Science.26:50 RDOF uses logic and reasoning. RDOF has empowered27:08 really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:25 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:28 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable. We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.27:39 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:44 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my, full belief, full faith in the Lord, man.27:56 The appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:02 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:08 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to r d o f dot org or find us on Facebook at RDOF events.In this video 0:00 Perseverance and Faith: Never Giving Up
