Standing Firm in the Day of Evil 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 I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about how to stand in the day of evil and when persecution is coming, and it's not1:08 when it's here. I mean, you cannot hardly look at the news or read any kind of, news article anywhere without hearing the doom, the gloom, the persecution of1:20 the day. And today when they're arresting pastors who are praying outside of abortion clinics and when they're shutting down the gospel and you even go back to COVID when1:32 of course the liquor stores could stay open and all you know, those kinds of things could be open as essential, but the churches were closed. And the churches, when they were open, you gotta wear a mask1:44 and no singing allowed because they were shutting down worship. And I even know ourselves on our social media many, many times are shut down. They say that it1:55 was blasphemy when it was scriptures and it was offensive and it goes against their community standards. And so every day, you know, kinda you just look around and you2:07 wanna know what the truth is. You gotta see who's getting kicked off and who's getting shut down. And so when when you're standing in this evil day and you don't even know where to look for the truth, you2:19 look right to your bible. You look right to the Lord because that is where we're gonna find peace in in these times of trouble. It says, when you see these things, look up because your redemption draws2:31 near. And so we have to toughen up, we have to pray against this, we have to speak the word, we have to stand and be bold in our faith in these times more than ever before.2:42 Well, and, you know, in the I guess it was at the beginning of the summer, you know, whenever there was a lock the lockdown in 20 20, and I happened to be on a call with, the2:53 president and about 2000 pastors. And the president said, it's a trick. They wanna shut the church down. Mhmm. And open he was saying,3:05 open the doors to your church this Sunday. They would like to silence you. Mhmm. And I thought, are we still living in the same3:17 country that I grew up in, you know, in in the America that I grew up in, the home of the free and the brave? And no. We we yes, we3:29 are, but it's like a different universe. It's an alternate universe. That's what it feels like sometimes. Like, we are living in a day that it's we should get excited because the3:40 Lord chose us to live during this time and to stand strong and to put on the full armor of God in this day of evil.3:52 And so you have all you need, that's what the Bible says, for life and godliness, and God and you're not gonna just barely make it into heaven. The Bible4:04 says, He has saved you to the uttermost, and that's what we believe. So when you put on your armor of God, you put on the helmet of salvation, the breastplate4:16 of righteousness, you you grab that sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. You wield that sword. You're not going to battle. You can't win this thing.4:28 You're I don't think any any presidential candidate is gonna win this thing. I don't think any big world leader is gonna turn it all around. God might use somebody, but I don't think that he's4:39 gonna share his glory with anybody. He's gonna do this thing. The Bible says he sits enthroned above all the earth. He is enthroned. So4:51 when we call upon God, we are going boldly to his throne when we ask for when we ask him to come and help us, and he, thank God,5:04 intervenes in the affairs of men and and women, and he is going to, I believe I don't know if he'll deliver us out of all of it, but I do know that whether we're persecuted,5:16 like like the Bible says, we can be pressed on every side and but we're never abandoned. God is never gonna leave us. He is never gonna forsake us, And no matter5:27 where you land in all of this, God is gonna be with you. I can be you can be sure of that.5:34 Well, the thing is, God has not moved from his throne. God is still right there. God knows every single thing that's happening. And if you just start reading your bible, you know, I was reading I5:46 I read a meme the other day that said, I have to look out my window to see what chapter of Revelations we're in today because isn't that the very reason for the bible? The bible it says right there that God5:58 doesn't do anything without first telling his prophets. Well, everything that's happening right now has been prophesied. 2000 years ago, we are not to be surprised by anything because God's not surprised6:10 and God's not alarmed. And and you know we we hear so many outrageous things. I mean we're hearing things about, you know, planned food shortages and all these things like they're burning down. There's over6:22 a hundred, you can go look it up for yourself, over a hundred and some food processing centers that that overwhelming amounts of cattle and chickens are being killed and burned down and they're just6:34 randomly blowing up and explosives and nobody seems to be talking about that. When we so when you look at the bible in revelations and it talks about famines and it talks about all the earthquakes and it talks about all6:45 the things that are happening and it talks about an upside down world where everything good is evil and everything evil is good. Well now do you hear about how drag queen story6:57 hours are supposed to be what you're supposed to take your children to and how it's great to have abortions and kill your babies and if you are if you are against that, you're evil. And, you know, all of these things7:08 that are coming at us at 1 time, it's like Christianity7:13 All from the pit of hell.7:14 And stand there. It's coming from us. Standing for anything that is a biblical truth. You're suddenly a racist hate speech, everything evil about the Bible. And all I know is is7:26 that I'm going to stick with what God says. The Bible talks about in the end, it says even the elect will be deceived, that that many will perish. And you7:38 can say They'll fall away. Fall away. And you say it's not God's will for any man to perish, but they will because that isn't a suggestion. That's what the Bible says. So we have to stay7:50 so so, so set on the God's word. Know God's word for yourself. Put it on, listen to it, listen to sermons, read the Bible for yourself, know the word for yourself. Michelle8:02 and I have been in countries, I've been in a country where we had to meet in the basement because it wasn't allowed to meet as Christians in groups of 20 or more and to have Bibles8:13 there. And so we looked at that situation going, that's crazy. Can you even believe that? And yet here we are.8:21 Not that long after that.8:23 Yes. Here we are thinking about the and knowing that these same kinds of things are being shut down in our own country. So we have to stand, be bold, and be confident in the Lord and seek8:35 him first for all that he is calling us to do during this time. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.8:44 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, to see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.8:56 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States.

Today, we are talking about hold the line and stand when persecution comes in the day of evil, and it does appear that we have9:58 shifted into a new day. And Nina was talking about being in a country where they had to meet in the basement because the government wouldn't allow the10:10 meeting and that same government, has begun to change the Bible. And for example, I'll give you an example of the Bible and this10:22 is why you need to know the bible for yourself. In their in that bible, they have decided that,10:34 you know, when when the they were going to stone the woman, because, you know, she deserved it according to them. And Jesus said, let him who cast the first stone,10:46 you know, just everybody walked away, basically, because they knew that they were also sinners. Right? So Jesus10:58 in this version of the Bible, in this government anti God version of the Bible, it says that Jesus himself killed her afterwards11:10 instead of saying go and sin no more. So think about that. If you don't know your Bible and you're getting it off line or whatever and you happen on that 1, what are you gonna think11:22 about Jesus? Right? I mean, this is a day of evil when you begin to twist the word of God, which is exactly what the devil loves to do. He loves to twist11:34 the word of God so that he can get glory somehow, that he's always such a glory hound. Right? And and we have to be very very careful11:46 because if many will fall away, you make sure, you decide today before you're really persecuted, and believe God that He is gonna11:58 hold you during that time when you are persecuted, and you're gonna remember that word. I have always prayed since I began to read the Bible when I was 20 years old. The my prayer to God12:10 is write the scripture on the tablet of my heart. Yeah. Write it on my heart that I might not sin against you. Yes. That is my12:22 cry, and I I just truly believe that God will do that for you. He will. And that you would not be deceived Right.12:29 In any way. And I know that there are so many conspiracy theories and so many rabbit holes that you can start going down. And so you you you ask the Lord. You know, I I look at the different12:41 people that you wanna listen to because I don't trust any news media at all, not any. But there's some pastors that I I I listen to that are online that are speaking the word, the truth, the word of God, the word of God.12:53 And I look at those and I go, that's right. That sounds right because your spirit will bear witness. And that's how you need to if you're gonna listen to any news, you listen to what God is saying. You know, God13:05 gives the news before the news. And so you know when you can stand strong and and, you know, I even tell my kids too, it's like, you know, if that day is coming when, you know, somebody might have,13:17 you know, a a a gun you're gonna die if you don't renounce Jesus. Well, then I'm gonna see Jesus. In a minute. Because there is is what does that look like to even renounce Jesus? I13:28 can't even imagine that. And that's where we have to be, we can't get into fear because isn't it what it's all about? Every life minute you spend here is about eternity.13:40 It's about what we're here to do, to bring souls into the kingdom, to get about doing God's business, to be his frontline army. It is no accident that you are here for such a time as this,13:52 that God knew that you could handle what's happening right now. He wants to use you right now, and and there's so much happening at such a rapid pace and so put your Bible on. Put it on14:04 play. Let it play in your ear at night. Get get get a hold of the scriptures. I know CBN trusted ministries that have a Bible that you can listen to. And and the Bible says14:16 that God gives you wisdom in the night, that he counsels you in the night. And I have so loved that scripture. And so many times, I pray that before I go to bed. Lord, counsel me as I sleep.14:28 You know, let my Holy Spirit be counseled. Give me wisdom in the night so that we are prepared, that we know how to handle things. I ask him for strategies. I ask him how we should14:40 prepare for all these things that we feel like are coming upon this earth right now. And we we are not objects of wrath. And so we can be victorious in all of it. And I know that even some14:52 of the visions and some of the ways that I you know, the Lord kind of speaks to me in visions a lot. And, I see things and then I I I he kinda shows me things and then kind of tells15:04 me words about them. But, in in a couple of the visions what I have, which are are are are are kind of scary, there's a lot of things that go on in there, but they're always showing that God's people are okay,15:15 that we're okay in all of it, that we're gonna have to have some hard times, we're gonna go through some difficult times, but we're gonna stand strong. We're gonna be okay through it all when we trust him. We can't get15:27 into fear. We can't agree with the devil. We're gonna stand strong in our faith, and we're gonna watch God move on our behalf. And remember, you know, that the devil wants to declare a15:39 day evil, but the Bible says, this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. And I no matter what happens, if if someone were to15:51 throw you in prison for your faith or or, separate you from your family and friends or whatever could happen. We don't we don't have a clue as to16:02 what could happen. We have ideas, but but know that wherever you go, God is gonna use you. Look how God used Paul and Silas in16:15 in in prison, in jail. You know, they just kept praising the Lord and the prisoners were saved. And everywhere you go, there should be revival because the16:27 spirit of the Lord lives on the inside of you. And so if if you've actually ever been saved, if you know Jesus, then the spirit of God lives on the inside of you.16:38 That's what the Bible says in Revelations chapter 3. It says that he he comes in to live with you in your heart, and so when you walk around, you carry with you16:50 the spirit of the living God where all things are possible. You know, the Bible, 1 of the names for the Lord is Yahweh, he who makes all things to be. He can do anything.17:03 With God, all things are possible. And this, what we're seeing, may just be for a moment and maybe it's to get the church to wake up so that we can have the end time revival.17:14 Right. You know, maybe this is what we're about to see, is the greatest harvest of souls in mankind's history, the 1 that is epic, the 1 that is17:26 talked about through the prophet Joel. Now we saw it in Acts, and we're gonna see it at the in the end times. And Jesus Christ is going to be made Lord,17:38 and the gospel's gonna cover the whole Earth, and we're gonna talk more about that when we come back.The Call to Action and Faith 17:44 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.17:56 When you donate to Grace Grace ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world as well as the United States. The Bible says that when we help the least, the forgotten and the18:07 overlooked, we have done something for Jesus himself. Will you be a part of what God is doing to help those in need and those who are hungering to hear the real message of Jesus? Give today by logging18:19 on to nainaandmichelle dot com or text the word give to 3 2 5 6 0 3 3 3 5 4. You can also send in a check to 6315 B FM 14 88 Road,18:31 number 122, Magnolia, Texas 77354. Grace Grace Ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission today.18:43 Give now.18:45 Welcome back. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we're talking about in the end of how do we stand and how do we pray and stand victorious through these difficult times. Well,18:56 1 suggestion I would give you is I've been kind of, I have little little, booklets of the Constitution is really go back and study. That was our founding fathers. America19:09 was built on God's principles, biblical godly principles. And when we declare America shall be saved, let's pray. Pray every day. Intercede for America.19:20 And for countries all over the world. All over19:22 the world because, you know, we're all in this together. As America goes, so does the world. Pray for Israel. That is a command by the Bible, the peace of Israel. And so when you are standing on what the founding19:34 fathers have decided and declared, and that was so built on godly principles and it is tried and true. And when the constitution seems to be being shredded before our very19:45 eyes, we can pray against that. We are, with God, we have the majority. We are the army of the Lord And when we can speak and ask that the Lord would19:57 protect and defend America, that America and that all of these countries will be will be saved and rescued and delivered, I know for my whole saved life, I've20:09 heard that this Queen Esther stuff over myself, always for such a time as this, and that God told me that I was gonna be an end time harvester for the kingdom of20:21 heaven before I even knew what that really meant. And so now I look at it and it's like are these end times? If you told me I was going to be that, am I going to live through end times20:32 and show me how that harvest is going to look? And so I read the scriptures that says that his glory will fill the earth. His he will pour out his spirit on all20:44 flesh. Can you imagine what those days are gonna be like when we're gonna see every kind of sign and wonder and miracle? So we're we're not, we're not ready for it all to20:56 be over yet because god hasn't poured out his spirit on all flesh. We haven't seen all of this glory that we are going to see. So we're gonna pray that in. We're gonna believe that God is going to do21:08 what he said he's gonna do and we get to be part of that. We're gonna see these things and then to know that we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Jesus is sitting there at the right hand of21:20 his father. He's interceding for us. We don't have to go find Jesus like the disciples did. We have him, Holy Spirit, in us 24 7 and Jesus21:31 interceding for us. How could that get any better? So no matter what, we cannot be discouraged. You know, watch enough news that you know how to pray, but then21:43 don't let it steal your spirit. You whatever you're seeing, you say no. That's a lie from the pit of hell. I come against that in the name of Jesus. The things that are breaking my heart, I'm hearing a lot of things21:54 about the sex trafficking, the pedophilia, those things. I rebuke and pray against those things because this is an evil beyond the likes of what we could ever imagine. And22:06 so we need to stand together as the body of Christ and not worry, not speak what the devil's doing, but let's pray what God's going to do about it. Let's pray the answers. Let's pray the22:18 promise. Let's pray that with us with the word of God, we can come against this evil. He says, when you see these things, look up. He says, do not be dismayed. Do not be discouraged22:29 because God is gonna help us with his righteous right hand, that we are delivered because we are the righteousness of God in Christ because of Jesus and what Jesus has done for us. So we can22:41 declare that no weapon can be formed against us, that it will never ever prosper. Any weapon formed against us will not prosper because we are covered in the heavenly armor22:53 of God. We have angels encamping all around us. The Bible says that that when we pray, angels are dispatched and that we can pray Psalm 91, that they have given been given23:05 charge over us. So when we know these things and how to pray against all evil, stand in the face of evil and declare that we are delivered from it which is in the23:17 very prayer Jesus told us to pray. So we are gonna stand strong. We are not gonna cave in to this evil. We're not gonna get weary in well doing. It's time for you to run your race23:28 with endurance and encourage yourself in the Lord today. And know that there are people all over23:35 the world that have not heard the gospel. This this show, is all over the world, but not everyone has the ability to see it, And23:47 so we are believing that people in North Korea are gonna get saved. Yes. The people in China are gonna be saved. Yes. That there are people in in remote parts of the earth that have never heard the23:59 gospel in their language. They're going to be saved in this in this last great harvest, and we are believing for that, and this this is what we're going to do right now. We are24:10 going to call upon the Lord that he is gonna make you strong in his Holy Spirit24:17 Yes.24:18 And that you are going to be able to stand no matter what happens. So let's pray right now. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we thank you, God. We give you praise that you24:30 Lord are able to give us strength Lord. Your our strength and our help comes from you, the Lord. And so we ask you right now, that our brothers and sisters across,24:42 the world will will be strengthened in their most holy faith. That, God, that they will know you like they never have before. That, Lord, you will deepen their roots24:54 in in what they know about you. That they will know the word and be able to wield their sword of the spirit, Lord. In Jesus name, and we pray God that you will make them so much25:06 stronger that they than they ever thought that they could be, Lord. Get them ready. Undergird them with your righteousness. In Jesus' name we pray.25:15 Amen. I pray for new armor. Yes. New fresh armor, a fresh anointing to go do all you need to do for the Lord, that a fresh wind and that you would have just just a fresh strength25:27 and a fresh endurance. God's got it all and he is going to use you powerfully, so get up. Take a stand. You know, doing nothing in the face of evil is itself evil. We all25:39 have a job to do, so it's time to get up and to do that. If you want more of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, head on over to social media.
