God Hears the Voice of Our Tears 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, you know, I got a hold of a scripture recently, and I remember calling you going, oh my gosh. Listen to this. And, you know, you know how many times we can1:06 read the Bible and then something just really stands out to you? And I got this scripture that says, God hears the voice of our weeping. God hears the voice of1:18 our tears. He hears it. And I just that just arrested me. It stopped me because I thought, you know how when you get when you're just so sad and you're so upset about something1:30 and you can't even speak? It doesn't matter.1:32 Well, it says that you can pray by with groaning. Yeah. So God hears our groans too.1:39 Because so he hears the voices of our tears. Our weeping has a voice. Our weeping speaks. And without us even having to say a word, because it's not like he doesn't know what's going on with you1:50 anyway. He's omniscient. He's omnipresent. But he's just there when you're crying. He's listening to your heart. He knows what those tears mean. He knows where they're coming from. He knows what they're about. And he2:02 even collects them in a jar. He saves our teardrops. The Bible says that.2:07 It says he saves he saves every tear. That's that's an intent of God. Right? We're we're2:13 a tally. We're a crier. Like I say, hey, we just probably got a river over there. Yeah.2:16 And and and my daughter Annie, you know how much she is. She's always been like that. She's she's built like that. You know, this is how she she gets rid of, her negative, feelings is she2:28 cries, and I I get it. Like, she will go in her room, shut the door, and wail. And then she comes out, she's okay.2:36 She's good. You know, but if you think about it, you know, that's, like, I I just thought, well, how sweet of the Lord. Like, to even put to include that like, of course, every single thing in the Bible has a purpose.2:48 Every word of it is true. It's alive. But for him to show us that our voices our our tears have a voice and that that they mean something. When we're praying, it's not just3:00 it's not just nothing. He pays attention. He's he's he's blessing us through that.3:05 He is. And I I think about, like, I have this jacket on because I recently went to Costa Rica, and it's like it reminds me of Costa Rica. It was prophetic because we bought this before I ever knew I was going to3:17 Costa Rica. Did I? I went on a mission trip with Operation Blessing and CBN, CBN's Orphan's Promise, and oh my goodness, talking about tears, we went into3:29 these red zones, where these kids are they're like their parent like their mom might be a prostitute, and they we went into these,3:41 like, childcare centers where they feed them and they educate them. But some of these kids, I think about this, and I think when I left there, I thought, I don't3:53 know how I can leave this little boy when he no matter what is happening in in the world right now, he cannot even bring himself to smile because he's so sad. We we had this,4:05 like, little festival 1 day for some of the kids that just don't even get to play. And so, we, you know, we we rented, like, a bouncy house, and, we had face4:17 painting and all these things. But out of all of those kids in that room, there's 1 little boy. There's 1 little boy. Everybody else is having a fun time, but not him. And you know4:29 what? I took note of it. And I thought, you know, when I when I think about that project, I'm gonna cry for that little boy. I'm gonna cry till he feels joy. I'm gonna believe God that he's gonna4:41 take care of that little boy. He cares about him more than me. I don't know what kind of trauma that child was going through, but I mean they wouldn't even let us walk down the street. They made us walk4:53 in, shut a gate, like that's how dangerous it is. And these kids live in it. Like I think about that, like they leave that school every day and they go5:04 out and they're surrounded by God knows what. And I'm saying it reverentially when I say God knows what because he does know what. And I think about how that5:16 little boy and his tears, God's taken note. If God knows the very number of hair we have on our head, I think about he knows how many tears5:28 you've cried. What are you going through? Yep. You know nothing is is, is being ignored by God. Even if you feel alone, even even5:39 if that little boy feels alone, I just I just know that God allowed me to notice it. And if I, as a silly human, notice that little boy,5:51 you know, out of a room full of kids, I think about he notices us. He notices us. We matter to him. It's it's like, you know, I6:03 mean honestly that was an awesome trip, but when I came back he's the only 1 I thought about. Right. Out of everybody there's 1 other little girl, but like those were the 2. This6:15 little girl handed me this like little, she handed me a painting that she made of a toucan. And so I put it on my office, shelf and I thought you know what?6:27 I'm gonna pray for her every day that God protects her and I'm gonna pray for that little boy. And you know I'm so we're so privileged. Like when you give to, Grace Grace, we just pour it back into6:39 into ministry and Yeah. We give to those projects. Projects? Yes.6:44 It is. We've been to a lot of these places and and, you know, with the kids, I mean even bringing my son and he's like, you know, you know, it's fun today, but what happens to them tomorrow? Like, we're there bringing6:55 some joy. And so we like to believe that6:59 well, every day we're educating.7:01 Every7:02 day we're getting them fed. They're they're actually eating 3 meals a day there.7:07 And because if a child is hungry, they can't study, they can't learn. It's No.7:11 You can't talk about Jesus when somebody starving half to death. You you have to feed him first.7:16 To be to be full. And he takes care of all of those things. And, you know, even when the Bible says that, that from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. And so when your heart is so troubled that7:28 you're just weeping and you have such tears, you know, that is the abundance of your heart in that way that is speaking. I know that that can mean, like, if you're if you're speaking negatively or what's coming out of7:39 your mouth, that's the abundance of your heart as well. But, but also the abundance of your heart that's just weeping and crying, God still hears that. That is you speaking and Him hearing your tears in your7:51 voice. And, and He's right there in the midst of all of that. And, and it's hard to be at these projects and, you know, you come back and you think, you know, what did I ever complain about? What am I complaining about?8:03 And we have so much to be grateful for. And, you know, I it it's it's it's a it's it's almost like you you just have to repent, you know, for for the things that you've you've you've8:15 I can't even remember to. The things that you've been upset about. And it's it's really sad. But you know what? There we have to just we can pray and know that again that God has his eye on on that. He's got his eye on8:27 everything. He has not dropped the ball, and he loves those kids so much more than we ever could. His love is perfect, and so he's got the whole thing in his hands. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come right8:38 back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.8:41 Hello, everyone.

He takes note of our tears and I think about Psalm 56 says, you have kept9:53 count of my tossing and you have put my tears in your bottle. So he doesn't just save the the tears, he also think about when you've10:05 tossed and you've turned in your sleep or trying to sleep the lack of, God's taken note. He took note even of that. Right? Praise God.10:18 Michelle and I have been in lots and lots of hotel rooms together, and she can fall asleep like that, like mid conversation. And me, I'm the toss and the turn, and I'm envious of that. Lord, I10:30 repent.10:31 So No. You just you I I think you just get, you know, you think.10:36 Mine doesn't shut off. Yeah. I know. So, but, you know, he takes care of everything. You know, I I recently heard this story. When we're talking about how God's eye was on these children that, you you know, that, in10:47 Costa Rica, I I heard this story, and I'm gonna read some of it because there's a there's there's some names, that I just can't shake. And you think about God's eye beyond everything. And this is a true story.10:59 It's this most significant guy in history that you've never heard of. Isn't that interesting? Okay? There was a guy named Mordecai Ham, and that's not who we're talking about, but there was a guy named Mordecai11:11 Hamm that was a tent revival preacher in the late 18 hundreds, early 19 hundreds. And in 19 34, he was he was preaching in Charlotte, North Carolina when 211:23 14 year old boys heard all the commotion. They were passing by this tent, heard, you know, music and all kinds of things going on in this tent, and they wanted to see what was going on in that tent.11:35 So they walked over, right, and they saw that this revival thing was going on, but the tent was packed. It was just overflowing with with people. And they looked around a bit and realized it was just they they11:47 didn't have a space to sit or whatever, so they decided to leave. And an usher chased after them and grabbed them both and said, come in here, boys. Come on. I I I get in here. I'm gonna find a space for you.11:59 And he walked down the aisle and he made a bunch of people squeeze in and squish in, and he seated these 2 boys. Long story short, these 2 boys were 14 year old boys12:11 were named Billy Graham and Grady Wilson, 2 best friends. They both gave their lives to the Lord that particular day, and Billy Graham would go12:22 on to preach the gospel to more people than anyone else in the history of the gospel being preached, Billy Graham. And right next to him always was Grady12:34 Wilson. He was organizing the tent revivals, and the 2 of them worked side by side in ministry for their entire lives. Now the most important person you've never heard of12:46 was the usher. It was the usher that went and got him and said, you boys aren't leaving, not on my dime. You're coming in here, and you're gonna hear this gospel. Get in here, boys. We got12:58 space. We got room for you. And Billy Graham himself has told this story, so we know it's true. And he said he never did know who that usher was, never heard his name, never saw him or heard from13:10 him again. But that usher did not God saw those boys, and God used that man to go chase down those boys. And those boys together would change the13:22 world. My husband and I have Billy Graham's station playing in our car, and we listen to his sermons all the time. And so think about that. God was so caring to take care of those13:34 2 14 year old kids who just happened by this tent that would literally change the world. Change the world. Their sermons and and Grady working with him, the whole their whole lives13:45 together. And think about that. And nobody even knows who Mordecai Ham was. He just was the guy that that that God used to get these boys saved. Even that.13:55 Awesome. Well13:56 it Isn't an amazing story.13:57 I can't It is an amazing story.13:59 So many times and I can't stop crying.14:01 Well, in the faithfulness of that usher.14:04 Yeah.14:04 You know, everybody thinks you know that you've got to be, you know, have a platform or whatever, be on you know social media or whatever, and and have a bunch of followers, but you14:16 know what? It's those incognito people Yep. That make all the difference. Yep.14:22 It's true.14:22 And and I think about all the people who have been put in into our lives that, you know, yeah I I I I can't even say you know. I mean people that will walk alongside14:34 you when you're weeping.14:35 Yeah. You14:36 know those are your real friends. Exactly. You know I I I remember whenever my my father passed away Troy and I had started dating like 5 months before14:48 and my grandmother took note at the funeral home you know because she said, you see you see Troy over there? She said, you see all these other boys15:00 that have come by to talk to you? He's the 1 that's left, and he's the 1 that's sitting there by you. You know, and I I feel so sorry for him because honestly, he was15:12 the guy that just sat there on many of our dates and watched me cry. You know, I think about that. God really used him in the ministry of just presence,15:24 being present, Being like that usher. Yeah. He was present, he was on the job, and he was doing the work of the Lord, and I really believe you know that that God sent me Troy at just the right time15:36 because he he had he was raised with 3 sisters, no brother, so he's used to tears.15:44 And used to a girls' crying stuff.15:45 Used to girls' conversation, used to girls' crying, and, I don't think anybody else would have put up with it. I just don't, you know. I think15:54 I think that's so important too when you're dating. In fact, you know, my son and his, his his girlfriend, they you know, I was just talking to them the other night. We're talking about16:05 somebody who's just there for you. You know, when you're dating, it it seems like it's always like all the fun stuff and you're just having this great time. But when you go through something, you know, like a personal16:16 situation like you had or you're dealing with something, you know, it's like I think everybody dating should almost see how someone else is when you're in the downtrodden time of life.16:25 Will they still hang out with you?16:27 Are they gonna be there? And that's like, that can tell you everything you need to know. Who's with you in the pit? Right? Yeah. And I think sometimes it's kind of important, you know, that you see how someone reacts or16:38 some how someone can help get you through a difficult time and vice versa. You know, like, be there for each other in everything because it's really it's not an if, it's a when. No matter if you're you're16:50 dating married or getting married, and it's a lifetime, and you're gonna go through some things. And so when you see how someone can manage those situations and be present and be there for you, that's17:01 everything. And because, you know, they're they're sitting there while you're crying. God's hearing the voices of your tears, but so is someone that loves you. And you're and and God can you even if it's just somebody to17:13 sit by you and give you a hug, not even say a word, but just to be there for you. You know? Amen.17:18 And it's so important. You know, the Bible says that Jesus sticks closer than a brother.17:23 Yeah.17:24 So when you think about that, if you don't have that person in your life, that is able to be sitting there, Jesus will sit there with you and he does see your tears. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come17:36 back.17:36 Hello, everyone. I'm excited to announce the next generation of energy drinks, Rev 7. It has no sugar and no caffeine. Instead, Rev 7 uses goBHB.17:49 GoBHB is 1 of the body's primary ketones, and it provides the most efficient and clean fuel that your body needs. It also helps you stay energized all day with no crashes.18:01 Not only that, it produces 3 times more brain energy than sugar, which helps boost your memory, focus, and mental sharpness. It also helps reduce stress and helps balance your mood.18:13 Rev 7 does all that while being the best tasting energy drink ever. So go to my pillow dot com or call the number on your screen. Use your promo code to save 20 percent today. I'm so sure18:25 you're gonna love Rev 7. For a limited time, you get our introductory 3 pack absolutely free. I drink Rev 7 every day, and I absolutely love it, and so will you.18:37 Well, welcome back to Grace Grace. We're talking about how God hears and sees our tears, and he is with us. He sticks Jesus sticks closer to us than a18:48 brother. So when you think about that, there's nothing better. But the great news is that the Bible says that Jesus, that God in heaven is gonna wipe away every19:00 tear. Like do you know someone that's in heaven? I mean isn't that a great thought that they're never gonna cry again? Wow. Like isn't that amazing? Think about that. A tearless19:12 world.19:13 If he wipes away every tear, just think about that giant handkerchief. You have to lighten it up over here. We're always here crying.19:20 I know. God's hearing our tears. We added to our tears in our vial stored in heaven on this episode.19:26 But God has hurt everyone because19:28 he has, and he's he's not wasting any19:30 of them, you know. You know, I mean, that's the thing. When you're dealing with a very difficult time, you know, God's just saying run into the breach. Just go. Just go. You know, God's got you. He's just saying, go,19:42 you know, go go do what you're called to do. Don't back down. You know, trust God. Even if it seems so hard, even if you don't even know how it makes sense or how you're gonna get through it or what you're gonna do19:54 about it or, you know, so much of it is just kind of, like, visualizing yourself. I'm very visual, but I'll, like, see yourself just taking this thing, whatever it is, and this person20:06 or this the the situation and just laying it on the altar to be covered in the blood of Jesus. And then I always like to picture Jesus who says, he is gone to be with the Father. He's at the20:18 right hand of the father, and he's interceding for us. So not only is he hearing our tears, he's he's hearing the voice of our weeping, but he's interceding20:30 for what we need. So immediately, those voice those tears are are being prayed over by Jesus. Like, think about that. Like, I I picture that.20:42 He's sitting there and he hears us and he's got the answers and he's he's inter seating. He's and then we have the Holy Spirit in us who's there comforting us. He's our comforter. Right? And so he20:54 says that that that every single thing that we go through, like, he gives us beauty for ashes. You know, when we mourn, he the joy comes in the morning. Right? There's so many21:05 scriptures about how how we're overcomers. We can overcome through the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony. And even if our testimony are tears. Right? Because Jesus is21:17 interceding. He already knows the Holy Spirit's in you. They know every single split second of what you're dealing with and what every single teardrop means.21:27 I know. And you know most most programs, most Christian programs, they're not about tears. Right? In fact, this may be the first 1 I've ever done, and may be the first21:39 1 I've ever heard about tears. Yeah. I mean, seriously, because, you know, nobody wants to talk about crying. And, but God, but but that's21:51 that's the stuff of life. Right? Right. That there is a time for mourning, and there is a time when we're grieving through something. What kind of loss have you gone through? What are you22:03 crying about? And just know that God created you. This is not taking him by surprise. It's not. And and he's gonna get you through22:15 it, whatever it is. And if you're in a time of of grieving or a time of trouble or something that just seems insurmountable,22:28 God is right there with you. He's taking note of every tear. He's he's right there sticking close to you like a brother. He's making22:40 sure regardless of whether you feel it, because I know in those dark nights of the soul, you almost feel like, where are you God? I cannot feel you right now. And22:52 and I'm I'm desperate for you, and you can be weeping and crying and you're not feeling God, all you feel is anguish, but God is right there23:04 even in that moment. In the midst. And that's not like something that you are you're gonna go praise the Lord. You know, I mean it's it's not, but God is right there,23:16 and he is with you. And if you're going through that, if you're going through great loss, great suffering, and you've gone through a season of tears, God's right there with you, sticking closer23:28 than a brother.23:28 And you know what it always makes me realize when I is that, you know, this isn't our final home, you know, that our soul is homesick. I feel like that sometimes when we're23:40 just crying, like, especially through worship and and that he hears the voices of our tears. So many times, I just think, you know, we're we're we're getting closer and closer to the day Jesus comes and gets us, and23:52 our soul sometimes is just weeping for our eternal home. And for, it's it like, we're homesick. Sometimes I think that's that's behind the tears. I feel like, you know,24:04 things can be seem insurmountable, like we're really dealing with a lot and all. And I just feel like that's like a homesickness to to to be with Jesus and that he's there. He's the comforter, and he's got us. And,24:15 so we're gonna pray because we want you all to know that, you know, Jesus has your tears. He knows that he's got you. Just hang on. He's got you. Do not be discouraged. He will raise you up by his righteous right24:27 hand, and he hears the voices of your tears. He's got you.24:32 You know, pray, miss Sam? So we're gonna pray with you right now. We're gonna believe God is gonna do, is to wipe away your tears right now. So, father, we ask you, Lord, that you will24:45 be with us as we pray. Lord, help us to help us to be able to pray the kind of prayer that needs to be prayed right now for those who are watching and those who are who are listening,24:56 Lord, that God, wherever they are, that you would just, wrap them up, Lord, in in your presence. And Lord, let them feel your touch. Let them feel the you wiping25:08 away those tears, and and Lord, let them know that you are collecting those tears, that they're that that that you're paying attention, that they're not in this all by25:20 themselves. They are not alone and that this is only a season and that that this too shall pass. And we thank you, and and I I really believe25:32 that the Lord is is saying that to to many of you that this too shall pass. And we thank you for this, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.25:43 Amen. Wow. He's so good to us. Isn't he? Yep. We are so grateful. You know, thank you for partnering with us, and thank you for our faithful viewers. You know, you make this all happen, and we just love you, and we're so25:54 grateful. And we wanna hear from you.

But we just wanna hear from26:17 you. We love you. We're just so thankful for you. Stay tuned. You're gonna wanna hear from Daryl Youngblood. Amen. He has a powerful message you're not gonna wanna miss. We love you guys.26:26 We love you. God bless26:27 you. 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, evidence26:39 shows differently. It shows 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 leaves26:51 3 percent of all wars that could be attributed to religion.26:59 Does science disprove God? Is there27:01 a war between science and faith?27:04 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God and it's irrational.27:08 Is there no evidence for God?27:09 Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore reason?27:16 Logic. Critical thinking. Science.27:23 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:26 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:30 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections in existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:41 Has science 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.27:59 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.28:02 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.28:05 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.28:12 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.28:18 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith.
