The Urgency of Spiritual Preparedness 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 the broadcast today. Today, you know what? We're we're asking you if you are spiritually prepared. Are you prepared for Jesus' possible1:08 return? We you know, of course, we know no 1 knows no 1 knows1:12 the hour.1:12 When he could come back, but it could be tomorrow. It could be tonight. It could be this afternoon. Like, are you ready? And, you know, Michelle, we're having major storms here today. We've had some really big1:24 storms recently in in Houston. And, you know, we prepare for storms and hurricanes and tropical downpours, blizzards, cold snaps. People prepare for all kinds1:36 of things in life. And, you know, they they they people you you know. You go to the stores, they're empty, the shelves are empty, people go crazy thinking about those things. But what is1:48 more important than Jesus' return? Because if you're not prepared for that, you could be left behind. You could be stuck here. I mean, there's no worse2:00 storm. There is nothing worse than that. And so we wanna make sure that, you know, you've thought about these things and that you're prepared. I mean, this is serious. This is you need2:12 to call your your friends and family. People need to know and watch the show.2:16 Yes. Share this show because we are going to talk seriously about the return of Jesus Christ. And, you know, God is not a man that he should lie. And just because it's2:28 taking longer than what we think doesn't mean he's not coming back. Because if God's word says it, it's gonna happen. I mean, think about2:40 revelations that we are at a point now where the WHO, the World Health Organization, is actually attempting to establish a global2:52 government. That seems incredible to me that America would cede its sovereignty to the WHO. That is nothing3:04 short of, oh my goodness, this is the word of God, this is revelation. If if if we begin a global governance,3:15 then what will emerge? An antichrist. That's what the Bible says, that that that there an antichrist will emerge, and we will basically be living in3:27 a totalitarian state as a globe. That has never been in play before because we've had all of our countries, they've had their own sovereignty, and every nation had, you3:39 know, nation spirit, go America, go UK, whatever. Now they're trying to merge the globe and bring up 1 world leader. So we know that3:51 the word is true, and it says in the word that in the twinkling of an eye, we will be caught up in the air. We shall forever be like him. So think about that.4:03 Just twinkle your eyes. What does that mean, to twinkle your eyes? Blink. You blink, and you're caught up in the air.4:10 And, you know, when you look at everything that's going on, when the Bible talks about, you know, you know, the the famines, the earthquakes, the wars, the rumors of wars, the the pestilences, the thing like, think about4:20 there's, like, some 2 different plagues of locusts happening right now. 1 is 17 years since that's happened. At the same time Yes.4:27 Yes.4:27 As another 1, that's a 7 year. At the same time, They're talking about, like, you know, you're hearing about all these other diseases showing up. They've found h 1 m 1 tuberculosis. All these other diseases that have4:38 really been eradicated from the United States are they're finding them again. So we're talking about pandemics. We're talking about all kinds of different things. And, obviously, we know the wars and the things that are4:49 happening right now, especially with Israel, which is completely biblical.4:52 It is the time clock4:54 for And when we look at the Ezekiel 38 prophecy about how Israel will stand alone in on all the nations around her, which is absolutely what's happening. And so when we start to see all5:06 these things, you know, we have Russia and Ukraine. We have, you know, Iran threatening things. So when we see these things, you know, people need to stop saying, oh, yeah, whatever. That's5:18 not these things are this is serious because this is like the perfect storm of everything kind of happening at once. And Jesus could come back anytime and, you know, are we5:29 gonna be 1 of the bridesmaids who doesn't have oil in the lamp? Are we gonna be caught off guard? Are you gonna be left here because you didn't believe? You know, now is the time to get in5:41 the word of God, to know the word of God, to stay so close to God during these times because he's gonna give you a path, a direct, and order your steps and show you what to do and to give you a5:53 strategy. And for the people out there who are always like, I don't have time. I work. I just how much are you are you scrolling on your phone, and how much TV are you watching? How much time are you wasting if you6:05 really paid attention to that? And to think that you don't have time to fit that in, you you this has to change. This has6:12 to change. Well, in talking about, you know, Naina, the parable of the 10 virgins, it talks about, you know, they're they're getting ready for a wedding, and they needed oil in their lamps6:24 for when the bridegroom came, and this is a parable to talk about when Jesus returns. And it says that, that there were 10 virgins, 56:36 made sure that they had oil in their lamps, they were prepared, just did what they wanted, and they didn't have it. And so whenever the bridegroom returned, just like Jesus,6:48 he caught him like a thief in the night. That's what the Bible says. And it there there it talks in the Bible about 1 will be in the field and 1 will be take 2 will be in the field, 1 will be taken, and6:59 17:00 will be left behind.7:01 1 will 2 will be in the bed, 1 will be taken, 1 will not. Those are scary scriptures. But you know what? If you've got oil in your lamp that when when I say that, I'm talking about7:13 the Holy Spirit. You have got to keep your oil. Keep that Holy Spirit. The Bible says, stir up the gifts of the Holy Spirit that are7:25 within you. Yep. So it's up to us to fan the flames of the Holy Spirit and to make sure that we are not being presumptuous with the Lord, just thinking, oh, I'm7:37 sure I'll make it. Oh, I'm sure being overly familiar with God is a dangerous thing. Yeah. I grew up in church. My grandma prays for me. My you know, whatever the case,7:50 God does not have grandchildren. That is for sure. You you are a, an heir with Christ Jesus. Right? You're an heir. There are8:01 no grandchildren. So just because grandma prays does not mean you're saved. You have to come to the Lord yourself. You have to be born again yourself, you have to have that oil in8:13 your in your own lamp so that when Jesus returns and nobody knows, I don't care what they say, the Bible says nobody knows, so go with that, what8:25 that nobody knows, and know that at any moment in the twinkling of an eye, we could be caught up in the air and forever be like Jesus and be in heaven. What a beautiful day8:37 that will be. So we're gonna talk more about that when we come back.8:41 I'm excited to announce that we're bringing back our best offer ever on our original My Slippers.

And today, we're talking about, are you prepared for what's coming, for the possible return of Jesus, for for for everything that's coming. We you know, I9:53 believe, Michelle, like, it seems like we're kinda living in a time of the birth pains. Like, you see things that are happening at record speed. Like, there's things that are happening that we didn't even10:05 think we would utter sentences like that just a few years ago. Exactly. Like, if you look at the debauchery and the chaos, like, you know, when you have, you know, the mutilation of children and and and10:17 who who can't can't can't literally drive a car or make any kind of decisions for themselves, and yet they're gonna be able to change their gender forever. And and the people who are birthday10:28 abortions all the way up to the day of birth, be able to kill your baby. Drag queen story hours. Open borders with full of of people who just are coming here and demanding all these rights10:40 and and and things that are are are going for them instead of American citizens. And the the there's just on and on and on and on, you're seeing these evil things happening. And it really is,10:52 when you start to see just the chaos and the destruction and the lawlessness and all of these things that are talked about in the Bible, you know, I can't imagine what God thinks and what what11:04 what he wouldn't do just just to grab us out of here and bring us home to be with him. But do you know whether or not you're gonna be on that list, that you're gonna be able to be part of that?11:17 And, you know, 1 of the things we can do, of course, to prepare is to pray. Just pray. We can pray and and study the scriptures, know the scriptures for yourself.11:29 With when you draw near to God, he draws near to you. You are never alone. He will never leave you or forsake you, but first you have to have him as your Lord and11:40 savior. And we'll talk about that at the end of the show and give you an opportunity to do that. But but if you spend time with him and really just get to know his heart for you, you know, sometimes don't you feel11:52 like now I I feel such a spiritual heaviness? I can't explain, but all that whole, like, take the whole world and give me Jesus just resonates with me because12:04 nothing else matters. You know? You don't really care about the rest of it.12:08 Too when the when the wicked rule, the Bible says the people groan. Yes. And so, you know, I think that's what we're experiencing. I am hoping that if this is it, and and we do12:20 know that Israel is at war and it is a prophetic time clock for the return of Jesus. Nice. I you know, and like we mentioned, you know, no man knows.12:31 So, you know, who knows when Jesus is going to come back? But let me just say, as a mother of 3 children, they're all different.12:43 My middle child, whenever it was time to have her, it was Father's Day, and I was getting ready for church, and all of a sudden I began to have some, like, contractions. You know,12:55 I started walking on my toes, and I was like, why am I walking on my toes? You know, and I realized it's because I'm in pain, and I realized I was in having contractions. And then I woke my husband up. And13:07 before I knew it, we were at the hospital, and I'm telling you that girl came out so fast just like she is. Everything she does is fast. The the doctor didn't even have13:19 time to get there. The nurse, you know, delivered her, and shabam. There she was. That's how it can be. It can be like, just a minute. You're having some pains, and then boom.13:31 He's back. And I mean we were so surprised. They were like, hang on, hang on, because they couldn't even get the clothes on, and I heard a whack, you know, and there he was. And so13:43 I'm telling you, he can come back like that. Your birth pains don't have to last a long time. Mine did.13:50 I think yours did. 21 hours of labor. Oh my goodness. Yeah. So, but that's the truth. And you think about, like, Jesus. You know, when He14:02 went to the garden, what I love about the scripture is that it said it says, Jesus went to pray as usual. And that popped out to me the other14:14 day. As usual. And I thought, as usual. And so him being God, Jesus is God, you know, he that and he still needed to go14:26 and, as usual, spend time with his father, pray to his father, seek his father for everything. And during that prayer time when you read it, you know, he's like, If it's your will,14:37 take this cup from me. And, you know, he knew what he was gonna face and what was gonna happen to him. And it says, well, as he prayed that, the the angels came and took care of him. But then it says,14:49 then he prayed even more earnestly. So he was he he had his his sweat was drops of blood. And so even then, you know, his father sent,15:02 sent help sent the angels to to minister to him, and yet it was still so so he sought him even more earnestly. That's God knowing he needs help.15:13 That's that's Jesus himself knowing he is God, still needs help from the Father, still needs to be prayed and seek him. And so what is15:25 our as usual? Is your as usual just bingeing Netflix? You know, are are you are you, you know, just on the gossip train? Are you, you know, sitting around, you know, on with your15:37 phone calls with your friends? Or are you just wasting time? Or are you seeking him as usual? Let that be your as usual. That stood out to me. In fact, I wrote a whole blog about it. It's like15:49 as usual. Why you know how 2 just those 2 words can stand out to you because we don't have time to do our normal usual. This is this the as usual we need right16:01 now is to to to be in that prayer time with the Lord. Because if we're to be like Jesus, as Jesus is, so are we in the world, let's do what he did. And even he did,16:12 He, knowing everything he knew, performing miracles, doing everything that he did, was still earnestly seeking the Lord as usual. And that's what we need to do, and16:24 that just arrested me, and it's like it's like what what do what are we doing? This is how we need to be preparing.16:32 Oh, my goodness. That's a great word. I I think about, you know, we're waiting for the King to come back. He's the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and I was talking about something that just arrested my spirit16:44 was, Samuel, was who was not raised in a kingdom, was he had anointed Saul, and he16:55 taught Saul what it was to be royal. Well how would Samuel have known, right? Because Samuel had spent time in the presence of the17:07 Lord. Yeah. That was Samuel's usual. And I think about that. So he was able to prophetically say, this is what it's like to be royal because I've spent17:19 time with royalty, and we're waiting for the for the king of kings and the lord of lords to return. And when we come back, we're gonna talk more about it and give you an opportunity to make17:31 sure you have oil in your lamp. Amen.Living a Life of Obedience and Faith 17:34 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest Christmas sale ever.

Are you spiritually prepared for for the rough days ahead that we believe that that that18:46 are coming, that are already here, but also the are you prepared for the return of Jesus? And that is so important. And, I you know, I look here where apostle Paul described how to prepare for spiritual18:58 battles, and he said that, you know, of course to put on the full armor of God. The full armor of God. And I do think in churches right now, so many19:10 times we've gotten to the helmet, You know, you may or may not be saved, and we're gonna give you that opportunity, but you can put on the helmet of salvation. But then, does do do the churches really talk19:22 enough about all the other things that we have, which most of them are for battle. They're they're they're we have a sword. We got we we have a a belt of truth. We got we got the the19:34 the shield. We got we, you know, we have all of these things that God has given us. And, you know, the word, you know, the the double edged sword, the truth, the word. And we need to know what we have available to us so19:45 that we are armed and ready and battle ready for these times that are ahead. And, you know, I think people can, you know, sit in the pew, maybe you've said that prayer. You said the salvation prayer at19:57 some times. You think you have this insurance policy that you, yeah, I'm going to heaven, but, you know, then what are you doing in the world? Are you walking out the door of that church, and are you, you know, living20:09 like the world? Because, you know, the Bible says that God will spit you out and say, I never knew you, even if you're doing these great things. I prophesied. I did all these things. I ministered. You know, if you're20:21 doing that with the wrong motive, if it's all about you and it's not about him, and if and if you if you don't have a relationship and a closeness with God, it's a it's a it's an effort of futility. You're not20:33 doing it with the right heart or the right motive because we can't do those things. You know, we apart from God we can do nothing, so if he's not in it, it's it's not gonna work.20:44 No. And how do you who does he accept? The Bible says that Jesus says that those who are mine obey me. It's that symbol. Are you obeying20:56 God? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. You do. You know what I'm talking about. If you're not obeying God, then make it right. Yep. You can make it right. You can you can get your21:08 heart right with God. Truly repent. Lay down whatever it is that the Lord is showing you. Do not be overly familiar with him and think, oh, He's He's got so much21:19 mercy, He's got those things are true, and and we don't deserve salvation, but He died so that we could have it, so that He knew that we could never do21:31 enough, We could never prophesy enough, go to church enough, be a deacon enough, or a church leader enough, or pastor or preach or whatever to21:43 get ourselves to be able to make it to heaven. We can't we can't21:47 Because you would never know if you did enough.21:49 No. But how vain21:51 Right.21:51 To think that God would send his only son to die on a cross, shed his holy blood for you. Yeah. I mean, unless that was22:03 the only way. Yeah. It was the only way to justify our sins. It's it. The justice is mercy on that cross for your sins,22:16 and once we repent, we can't just keep going back and back. That's fake. You have got to give it up. Lay it down. If you have a sin that is besetting you, the Bible says lay22:27 aside every weight, lay aside every sin that besets you, and run the race to win. Jesus wants you to win. You can do that today. You can win today by22:39 just just lay it down. Nothing is worth it. Not 1 thing is worth it. Not a man, a woman, not a drug, not alcohol, not22:51 gluttony. You know, we don't we don't think about food as a a sin, but in Sodom and Gomorrah, 1 of the sins was they were overfed. And23:03 what are we? We're overfed. You know, not you, Nina, but everybody Americans have a big problem with this, but but honestly, including myself, I was so convicted23:15 so I've been watching it. You know I've been like, Lord please don't let me be overfed. I mean, honestly, we want to make sure that we're right, that we're right23:26 with him. Right? Well, the thing is we're we're in our country and in other some other countries, you know, we're addicted to comfort. Yeah. We have everything we need at the you know,23:37 everything's fast. We have whatever we need at the touch of a button. We can go right out the door and go get anything you need. You can send it to your door. And so, you know, nobody wants to be uncomfortable.23:49 And we've made we've tried to do this with our kids, our grandkids. We want everything to be this cushy little life, and that's not the real world. And, you know, we have to take a step back and say, you know,24:01 we're going to go through some things. And when we do, we're gonna need to learn from these things, and we're gonna need to be able to testify as to God pulling us through these things. Because I'm telling you, things24:12 are gonna get harder, and you need to know that that you are going to be okay because no matter what, you got Jesus in you, and he is never going to leave you or forsake you.24:24 And that's the only way we're ever going to get through any kind of tough times or any of the things that are ahead. And to prepare your heart to lay down those things that are gonna get you nowhere. And I don't care if24:36 you're sitting here saying I'm a good person and I never do anything wrong or whatever, not gonna work. It's Jesus. Jesus Jesus is the only way. There's no other way. If you don't have Jesus, I don't care how good24:48 you are. You are not going to heaven unless you have made Jesus your Lord and savior. So Michelle, do you wanna pray that prayer right now?24:57 Absolutely. So just pray with me. Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks. It's Revelations. It says this. And if you open the door of your heart, he will come in and sup with you and have fellowship with you.25:07 Make him the lord of your life. So let's pray. Jesus, I believe you died on the cross. Pray with me. I believe you rose from the dead. I believe you are with the father.25:19 I ask you to forgive me for my sins. I give you my entire life from this moment forward. I make you Jesus, Lord of my life. In25:31 Jesus' name, amen. Amen.25:34 And we25:34 pray for everybody that has been saved a long time that that you you've gotten you're living in Laodicea, lukewarm. Lord, stir up the gifts of the Holy Spirit within each 1 of us.25:46 Lord. Make us fresh and new. We give you a fresh commitment today.25:50 In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. And we believe if you said that prayer with your whole heart and meant it that you got born again and, you know, get a Bible, get get in those scriptures, and and really start26:02 knowing that word for yourself. You know, you can, head on over to our social medias, Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, Naina Keegan Ministries. We have daily devotions every single day filled with the word of26:13 God.

There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:45 Is there no evidence for God?26:46 Am I delusional for my beliefs?26:48 It is delusional and stupid.26:50 Am I brainwashed?26:52 Do I ignore reason?26:53 Logic. Critical has27:05 empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:06 If you has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:11 If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:21 Has science27:39 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:42 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:46 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.27:53 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:58 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.28:09 The appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:16 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:22 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 The Urgency of Spiritual Preparedness17:32 Living a Life of Obedience and Faith
