Introduction and Setting the Stage 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 Humphries, and0:55 I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today we're gonna be talking about moving mountains doesn't mean you keep going around the same 1 again and again and again. You know the definition of1:07 insanity when you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the results to be different. Maybe it's time to you know do yourself a checkup, do yourself a favor, a1:19 heart checkup, and ask yourself what are you doing? What mountain do you repeatedly and continually go around and then you're wondering why nothing's changing in your life?1:31 You know what is that? Is that mountain of yours? Is it sin of some kind? Is it your attitude? Is it you know just being complacent? Is it complaining? What is it? And we're gonna talk all about that1:43 today because it's a good reminder that we all need to just do an evaluation.1:49 Well, and I've I've shared this before, and I I truly think it's something that, you know, God wants us to do because there's a biblical principle even though it seems like a silly idea when you're going through2:00 a trial. If you're stuck and you're in a rut and you've been going around the same mountain, when when my kids get stuck in a rut and going around the same mountain we have2:12 they they will call and tell me that they need some cone time. And cone time means that they need to sit in the cone of thoughts and ideas, And we have a book in2:24 my office, and it's a notebook, and we write those things down. We're like, okay. You're stuck here. What do you where do you really wanna be? Like, what is the vision in your life for where2:36 you want to be? And even if it's dream beyond your capability of getting there at this point. Write it down. Nothing stops you from writing down this2:48 dream. Right? And then once you write down, like, the best thing you can think of, this is where I wanna be in a year, write that down.3:00 First of all, pray. Write that down, and then figure out how can I get there? The Bible says, take the vision, write it down so that you may run with it. It says3:12 my people perish because they don't have a vision. Sometimes we all get stuck. We get stuck in a rut, and3:21 I3:21 think that's the best way to to come out. Don't don't when you when you're writing the vision down, remember you serve a god that can do anything. So write it all down just as you envision it. A vision3:33 cannot be limited unless you limit it. So I'm saying just write it down even if it sounds crazy, write it down. Get yourself some cone time and write itTaking Bold Action and Trusting God 3:45 down.3:45 Write it down, a think tank. And you know if you can do it yourself, if it's if your plan is something that you can easily do or you think about, oh, I could do it. It could just do these few things, then you're3:57 you're it's you're setting your limits too low because you gotta think so much bigger because God's ways are higher. He says his thoughts are our thoughts, he wants to bless us beyond4:09 measure, he wants us to do great and mighty exploits for him. We are here for such a time as this, we are going to see mountains moved in so many ways when we get out of our own4:20 way, get out of our own limited little thinking, and get about doing all that God has in store for us. Yeah. And sometimes we have to remember that4:32 the Holy Spirit is in us and you know if you think about an egg, you know if an egg is broken from the outside then then the life dies of the4:44 egg, But when an egg is broken from the inside, then life forms. Life is is is hatched from that egg. And so think about the life that4:56 we have in us that is the life of that Jesus Christ now send the Holy Spirit to live in us and so what is there that we cannot5:08 do? The Bible says we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength and it says apart from God we can do nothing. So we have to stop limiting ourselves or being afraid.5:19 What is fear stopping you from? Because what's the worst thing that can happen? You maybe you start doing something and you fail. Well, maybe there's you just take another route. You back up and you start again and again5:31 and again and again and so many of the biggest and best entrepreneurs on this planet failed hundreds of times and some even more than that, but they never gave up. And5:43 that's what God is calling us to do. Keep going, keep marching, keep speaking, keep declaring, keep praying, and know and that he with you, with him,5:55 you can do all things and his plan for you is always for good. Amen. And that's what we need to do. We need to stop being complacent and sitting there doing the same old things day in6:07 and day out because that is not what God has in store for you. It is so much bigger and better than that.6:13 Well and I think too that, you know, whenever we dream and and we're trying to come out of that going around that mountain, we have to take bold action, things that6:25 make us uncomfortable. You know? I I I kind of started laughing when I started thinking about this story. It just came to me while you were talking. Our youngest daughter's pretty shy, and so whenever it's6:37 time for her to go to work, she was so shy. She didn't wanna go on an interview, and so we were kinda having to try to give her a little shove, and she laughs about it now. She's not even close to being as shy as she6:48 used to be, but, I was trying to push her to take bold action. And, so we go, and she loves animals, so, you know, it was a natural fit for her to go and work at a6:59 veterinary clinic. Right? And so so anyway, we we go in and, she she's barely speaking so I began to try to sell7:11 her, and she was so embarrassed, you know, because I was taking the bold action for her and you really can't do that because it made her look silly. So the next stop that we went on,7:23 was this place, and she's like, I'm not getting out. No. And I'm like, then I'm gonna go. And she goes, never mind. I'll go. I'll go. Well, that was the place where she worked. Right? But anyway, you were7:35 thinking about the veterinary story where she went with the dogs. Oh, yeah. That was it. That was another thing. Yes. So you just keep going.7:43 You just you know, that what how many things? How many blessings? How many great things do we miss because of fear? Yes. Or because we we're we just can't figure7:55 it out on our own. Like how is that ever gonna work? Or it seems too hard or it seems impossible or how there's too many moving parts. And then we give up before it ever even became8:05 a thing.8:05 The bold action.8:06 Yeah. Right? Because there's there's so many like, even when I think about some of the miracles that God did in our lives, like, over and over again. Like, even the fact that we're here, it made 08:18 sense. Like I always say God, you I could find you a thousand candidates. There was but you know, we said yes. I mean we we we always say you know we're the Lucy and Ethel of ministry because we just said yes8:30 we didn't we just stepped out we it didn't we didn't have a plan because this wasn't our plan and God just has continually worked it out and worked it out and worked it out and we just recently8:41 got added to another station and, you know, God just keeps working things out for us and growing and it's got really nothing to do with us. We just amen him. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back.8:53 Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.Overcoming Fear and Embracing Change 8:57 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus.

We're talking about moving mountains does not mean you keep going around the same 1. And so we're talking basically about being stuck in a rut, being afraid to move10:11 forward, not going forward like God wants you to do. And you know what? If you have a dream, you're gonna have to take bold action, and we talked10:23 about that. And you're gonna have to to get in a place where you're restless. You have to get to a place you know, there are different seasons in our lives, and, you know, what was10:34 once fresh and God's movement becomes an old season at some point, and it's time to move forward. So God gives you this restlessness, like this10:46 longing for something else. And sometimes you're not even sure what that is. So that's the time when you stop and you say, god, I feel this restlessness. I cannot figure out where I am right now, but I know that you're10:58 doing something here. And usually that restlessness and restlessness is from the Holy Spirit. It's a holy discontent because he wants you to move to that next level. And if you wanna do next level11:10 things, you've gotta go north and not be afraid to go into your promised land, and you cannot be afraid of new things. And I know we it's easy to get comfortable. It's easy to get11:22 complacent, but God wants us to step out and do his great work. Right? And those things are always gonna be11:32 different than what you expect. And so some of the problems are is when we start to do something new for the Lord, is a tendency to say, well, that's not how I always did it. And that maybe you're gonna11:44 go work somewhere new and you're gonna be like, well, that's not how we did it at the old place, and that's not how we should do it, and that's not this. You know, that can cause you to just stay right where you are11:55 because that's you wanting that same old mountain because whatever it is, it's a comfort to you. And so the comfort zone is never the place that gets you to the next level. It just never12:07 is. It's always a shaking. It's a moving. It's a shifting. It's being uncomfortable. It's so having to trust God. If you were comfortable always, where would you be calling12:18 on God and trusting God? Because you wouldn't it seems like to me that the greatest people, the greatest evangelists, the greatest peep preachers, the greatest people I12:30 know have the biggest testimony and the biggest story about what happened to them and how God had to shake them and get them out of their comfort zone or how they're such overcomers12:43 and yet here they are and so many of the testimonies and the stories I look at these people and I'm in shock because I didn't know any of those things happened to them and I'm looking at how successful they are and how12:54 godly they are and how they inspire and how they live their lives and yet you wouldn't have known any of those things and yet those are the very things that cause some of the things that cause the13:06 deepest hurts and the deepest pains in our lives are those mountains that we overcome and then learn from them so we don't repeat it, so we don't go over that mountain again.13:18 That we look to everything we've been through as a lesson and we say, Lord, I thank you that I have overcome because of you and now I don't wanna repeat that. So help me to learn the13:29 lessons that I need to know so that I can move forward and so that I can take with me the wisdom from this and the things that you have tried to teach me and show me in this and let me never be the13:41 same. I I pray that, you know, no no trial ever leaves you where it finds you. It just moves you into a closer relationship with the Lord and it canTrusting God's Plan and Moving Forward 13:53 tear down the mountains of adversity in your life because you trust God that you can trample on the devils and move through the mountains and move through all the things in the chaos that the devil14:05 tries to bring. But here's what I do know is that God is never gonna leave you and he's never gonna forsake you and his plan for you is so sealed and if you just14:16 take his hand and you trust him that you can get through anything you can that mountain has to be a level plane when you speak over it and you declare victory and you know that with God14:28 if he's for you who and what could ever be against you if he said it it's gonna happen. And no matter what you're scared of, no matter what lie is coming against it, no14:40 matter what seems to be happening, you need to look at it in through a different lens and say this I must be on to something here. Because if the devil is trying to stop me this hard from from this plan then14:52 then it must be good and I'm going to trust God no matter what and you keep praying, keep praising and keep going And and these mountains will be level planes when15:04 you keep trusting God in the midst of all of it.15:07 Amen. And taking action. I mean, we have to we going back to, you know, take action. Whenever you are called to do something, you might have to take action. And15:19 there, you know, there are people out there that maybe you're a single parent and you need more education and you have no idea. You're like, I don't have the time to do that. I I don't know how I'll do that. But, you15:30 know, the Bible says, God will make a way where there seems to be no way. God can build in your daily routine something that you can't even dream of. You know? And and so15:42 educate yourself. Some of you are called to ministry, and and maybe you need to take some online classes so that you can get some credentials so that you can move to the next level and go to work at a church15:54 or go to work in a in a in a para ministry or something like that or just to become a lay minister, maybe take some classes at church. Like, you need to build your capacity16:06 to do the things that God has called you to do. And, you know, you you also it says, that you need to make sure that you do not neglect the gift that is within you.16:18 You know, God put all these gifts in you, and if you don't use them, they will lie dormant, and you are still going to be held responsible for the gift. You know, the16:30 parable of the talents. Jesus talked about the parable of the talents that he gave, 1 guy a couple of talents. He gave another guy, you know, some more16:42 talents. And, the 1 that had the 1 little talent, he said, I buried that. I didn't I knew you were harsh. And, god said, you're16:53 I'm taking that, and I'm giving it to the ones who used it. God expects us to operate in our gifts. We are held responsible for those17:05 gifts. You know what they are. You do. You know what you're naturally sort of bent towards. Use that and get a better capacity to do the17:17 will, to do the work of God, and take bold action so that you can operate in those gifts that God has called you before the foundations of the earth were17:29 laid. He knew when you would live, where you would live, and that you were called, and he had good works for you to do in advance, and we'll talk more about that when we come back.17:41 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.Breaking Free from Strongholds and Embracing Freedom 17:53 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world as well as the United States.

Grace Grace Ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission today.18:40 Give now.18:42 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle. We're talking about when those mountains are getting in the way, what are you doing? Maybe that's causing you to go around that same old mountain again and again and18:52 again. You know, sometimes when God closes a door, we can freak out. Oh, my goodness. Oh my goodness this maybe this relationship is is over maybe this job is over something19:04 happened and we just think it's this the most terrible thing did you ever stop and think well maybe that was God that God knew if he didn't shake that door and slam it closed and get you out of there that19:16 you would have never moved you would have never left you would have stayed there no matter how ho it was no matter how many things were wrong so many people are so afraid to let go of the side19:28 because they can't see what's out there. And God can see it. He knows the plan. He knows what he has for you. So when you're going through a shaking, when you're going through when there's just seems like those19:40 mountains are insurmountable, you say, God, I don't know what you're doing, but you know. And I ask for you to make a way, to show me a way, to help me get through this. And I promise you, I promise19:52 you because I have so many testimonies about these very things is that when you look back, when I look back and I think oh my goodness gracious I cannot even think of a way out of this,20:04 you know just just some some terrible times in my life and I can look back and now and say oh my goodness God moved me out of that and then blessed me through in so many ways through the situation20:16 I was going through and sometimes it's hard to see at the time because you're dealing with so much, but he is so close to us, he's closer than our breath, he's close to the brokenhearted, his20:28 he has overwhelming victory for us, if he is for us who can dare be against us, he will take care of you. He promises that he will turn all things around for the good, that if you keep20:40 trusting him and believing him, he said he'll take you by the righteous right hand. He will never ever let you go and he will move you from glory to glory and he will give you such a powerful testimony20:52 and you can always look back and say thank you God. I always say if I knew now what God was doing then, I mean I would never change a thing of anything I went through because of21:04 where I am today with him, with God. The the the testimonies and the the the amount of miracles and things that I have seen in ways just21:16 that God has moved in my life. I just cannot believe it right now. Even just being completely, like, delivered from fear and anxiety that was just it was so, so horrible in my21:28 life. And those are the kind of things that, you know, just to see him move in that way in my life and over and over again that was such a mountain that I never ever thought, I21:40 never ever thought would would rid be done with in my life and that is a level playing. And over and over again, we will see God move in remarkable ways if we just21:52 trust him and keep going.21:54 I I that what you're saying reminds me of that song, Fear is not my future, you are. You know, if it's not good, then it's not over because you spoke what you know,22:06 the blessing over your life. And so fear is not your future. Anxiety is not your future. Walking around the same mountain, that's not your future. Living sick, that's not22:18 your future. Having bad relationships, that's not your future. Your children not serving God, that's not your future. No matter what, being bankrupt, that's22:30 not your future. God God is with you. You know, we have a hope of a future that is so much greater than anything. It says22:42 eye has not seen, ear has not heard the things that God has promised to those who love him. And there's 1 guarantee. You know, no matter what happens with the economy, you know, we came into22:54 this world with nothing. We're gonna go out of the world, but we have a hope of a better future. Our home, we are the Bible says we are sojourners. We're just passing through, but while we're23:06 passing through, let's live life while no matter what's going on, no matter what the news says, let's continue to serve God with23:17 boldness, with excellence, with everything that is in us, and let us make sure that we do not keep. Let us not be like the children of Israel23:29 that walked around that mountain for 40 years. What a wasteful life. Let's not have a wasted life. I believe you're listening to this message because God does not want you to waste your23:41 life, and these are just ideas and thoughts from 2 people who have walked with the lord for a very, very long time. We are not saying that we have it all together23:53 because we don't. But you know what? We have seen that god is faithful and that if you will follow the principles of his word, he will move you forward into the promised24:05 land, into his destiny for you, and we wanna pray with you right now. So I'm gonna pray with you that God's gonna move you forward. 9 is gonna come into agreement. Lord, we just come into agreement for people who24:17 are watching and listening. Lord, you know that there are people all over the world. There are people in prison. We know that we are in thousands of prisons with this broadcast. We pray24:29 for those who are despondent, who feel like they've wasted their life, who feel like they're destined to only walk around that mountain. We break you out of that that,24:40 prison of thought in Jesus' name, and we declare a hope and a future. We declare that you will live for the Lord, that his destiny will24:52 be fulfilled right where you are in Jesus' name, and we pray God that you will give people ideas, wisdom, prudence, discipline through the power of the25:04 Holy Spirit who is constantly manifesting and moving forward, and we pray father that you will do a mighty and great work in the name of25:16 Jesus.25:17 Amen. Amen. I declare in the name of Jesus that Yes. That we are breaking any yoke of bondage. Wherever stronghold that's gotten in over you right25:29 now, we break it in the name of Jesus.
