The Path to True Freedom in Jesus 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, we're gonna be talking about what it means to be truly free. Freedom in Jesus. There's 1 way1:08 to absolute true freedom. And we're not we're not talking about, you know, just things can get better or things can be okay. You can be set free. And so today, whatever it is,1:19 whether it's, you know, an addiction of some kind, a health crisis, whether it's some kind of patterns or habits or things that you have done forever and ever, things that are just1:31 sort of holding you back, strongholds of thinking even, we are going to be talking about complete and total freedom, and there is only 1 way to this. There is it.1:43 Jesus. I1:44 you know, as a person who, you know, had an alcoholic father, I watched, you know, the head of our family just struggle1:56 with addiction, and not just a little bit. I mean, he finally he would go to, like, to different rehabs. So I grew up, like, going to visit my dad in rehab. It just2:08 seemed like it was never ending. And he got saved and then, he was clean for like 9 months and then he went back into it.2:20 And we were so disappointed. And I'm telling you that he when he decided to quit, he wanted to be right with the Lord. And2:32 so I this has been something that sometimes true freedom was that he he was drinking and then he suddenly stopped. And not many2:44 people know, but DTs is 1 of the deadliest, forms of, you know, when you suddenly stop alcohol. And he he drank very strong2:56 alcohol, it's very dangerous. And he died suddenly. And so I always believed that he was not that death is the3:08 answer and it I don't think that's the answer, but I do believe that the Lord saw the beginning from the end and allowed him just to go. Because we know why he was absolutely free.3:19 It was3:20 absolutely free. And I don't, you know, say that to scare anybody, but I mean addiction is a seriously, underrated problem. And I've3:32 never met anyone that wishes they could go back and say, yeah, I wish I could have had more drugs, more alcohol. It's not worth it. So if you are struggling3:44 with addiction, definitely get help. But the main help is gonna come from Jesus himself. Don't you agree?3:52 Kind of of you know, I mean, maybe I mean, we're talking about being free from unforgiveness, being free from, abuses and trauma and cycles of defeat.4:04 Yeah. Forgiveness is 1 of the4:06 hardest part. These things that maybe you've dragged around forever like, you know, like this big old piece of luggage chained to you and every once in a while you just stop and unpack it and talk about it and4:18 bring it all up and and you know, woe is me and this has been my life and this is what happened to me. And then, you you know, you're you're not letting this go and you're not being completely free from all of these4:28 things. And that's where the devil wants you because he hates freedom. He doesn't want you to have peace and joy and experience all of those good things. And so, you know, when you really think about it, you know,4:40 Satan, he's Satan's not opposed of you being having good morals. He's not opposed of you being a good person. He's not opposed to you volunteering and4:52 to helping your neighbor. He doesn't he doesn't care about any of those things. He doesn't care if you were working at the church from sunup to sundown. The only thing Jesus the the devil's worried about is Jesus. He's5:04 opposed to you having a freedom and a relationship that only comes from Jesus Christ. And that's where people get it wrong because people think, I'm good with God.5:15 I'm good. I go to church on Sundays, which zillions of people do, and don't know the Lord because that is the biggest that that is the biggest, like, fallacy of things is5:27 that you're a good person and that you know you you you go to church and you know things about God. Well, guess what? Look at5:33 the soup kitchen.5:34 The devil knows about God. The devil lived in heaven, and he knows that Jesus is real. And he does he does everything in his power to keep you from knowing that and5:46 making him lord of your life. And so all of these things, we're here to tell you today, if you wanna break free from all of these things, you thinking that you go to church or that you might say5:58 10 hail Marys or whatever these religions tell you you have to do, that's not gonna work. And so you're gonna keep going down those wrong paths and staying completely stuck in the strongholds6:10 that are are gripping your life until you have received Jesus and accept him as lord and savior of your life. And at the end of this program, we're gonna give you an opportunity to do that because6:22 he is the only way to true freedom.6:24 He is the only way. And and, you know, we think about freedom from drugs and alcohol and, you know, other things like smoking, food addiction, anxiety, worry.6:36 That's where I'm going is anxiety. Today, people are so anxious and and you know what? There's good reason. I mean, if you look around without the6:48 lens of Jesus. Yep. It's terrifying. But if you look around with the lens of Jesus, you think, okay. At any moment, in the twinkling of an eye,7:00 he's gonna call us up. At any moment, he can call us up. That's freedom. Freedom from the anxiety of destruction, which is constantly what the enemy is talking to7:12 you about. Right? When you're anxious is Yeah.7:15 What's gonna happen? That you're never or always. You're always gonna be like this. You're never gonna be he uses those words. Always and never.7:24 Yeah. Like, how they say never to argue with your spouse using always and never. You're always this.7:30 You're never home. You're always Exactly.7:33 Never do that. But the devil fights like that and he does not fight fair.7:38 Never fair.7:39 And Jesus really is the only way to freedom. He is it. I'm I'm telling you, you can struggle. You can call on the Lord,7:51 and Jesus can truly set you free. And, you know, I I I just don't know another way to say it, that that He is the way, the truth, and the life. And8:03 if we believe in Jesus, it the Bible says that we can be saved. Right? And what does saved mean? Saved is the word sozo, which means healed, set8:14 free. Like, everything you need, it's salvation. It's not just that he saves your soul as if that wasn't enough. He saves your life. He gives you all you8:26 need for life and godliness. He writes your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. He says you're set free. Set free from whatever that entangling sin is And it says,8:38 let us put aside every weight and run the race that he has called us to run, and we are gonna be right back. Amen.8:46 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.

And you know there's a scripture in Galatians that says, Whom the Son sets free is9:58 free indeed. Indeed that means done absolutely. It's it's marked, gavel down, you're done, you're free indeed. And so you know10:10 we're not fighting the battles of the enemy from the earth up. We're fighting our battles from heaven down because the Bible says that we are10:22 seated in heavenly places with Jesus at the right hand of our father. Okay, think about that. Picture yourself right now. You are seated. That means you're not10:33 striving. That means you're not struggling. That means you're not doing anything because you're in a place of rest. You're seated with Jesus. And you're seated at the right hand of10:45 God, our Father. So you're you're there. That's where we are. That's where our victory is. And the Bible says the enemy is under our feet. It's a footstool10:57 under our feet. And so from that perspective, visualize that. Right? The devil has no place. He cannot win a battle against you and Jesus11:09 sitting with God, and we have all of the angels in heaven at our command. And so when we know who we are and whose we are in Christ Jesus,11:21 what could possibly come against that? Nothing. There is nothing nothing that is a match for 1 precious drop of the blood of Jesus. Not 1 thing. There's no devil in11:32 hell. There's no demon on earth. There's no there's no sickness, no disease, no addiction, no stronghold of thinking, no anything that can stand from you11:44 being seated. Seated. You are the righteousness of God, seated with Jesus in heavenly places next to God our Father. Ruling, the Bible says we are ruling and11:56 reigning in life. So think about that. You are ruling. You are coming from a place of heaven down. That's it. Where heaven meets earth, just like in the Lord's Prayer. Thy kingdom come.12:08 His will be done today on earth as it is in heaven.12:11 Amen. And12:13 that's where we get to be free.12:15 That's good. I love that. Romans 8 2 says, because through Christ Jesus, the law of the spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and12:27 death. Amen. And I am a witness to that. I am a witness. I am a witness because, you know, on the show prior to this 1,12:38 we talked to my brother and we talked about, you know, how we were raised in a very difficult situation. And for me, being the adult and the oldest12:50 child of of an alcoholic that and and someone who was not walking in freedom. I just needed to have control of something, and something happened to me when I was in13:02 junior high, and I'm telling you had to be the enemy because no other I don't know how I even got the idea because, you know, there was no Oprah Winfrey to tell us or the news was not13:14 talking about this. But I was at a dance camp where being thin was very, very important. And so I remember being famished13:26 because I danced all day. It was a 2 week dance camp out of college and, but I was in junior high. And, you know, that night I ate a piece of pizza13:38 and I thought, oh my goodness. This is gonna be terrible for tomorrow. And, I thought I could I could throw this up. And I thought, what a great idea.13:50 This is a great idea. Why haven't I ever thought about this before? I threw it up. But that began a long journey. And my dance teacher, I was in a dance company, she would put our weight14:02 on the door. So that was before politically correct or anything like that, like your dance teacher could control you. Like I remember she called me at my friend's house on a Saturday14:14 morning and told me to get my rump to dance class even though it was a Saturday. Right? So she kind of owned us and she put our weight my weight on the door and it crushed me. And so I14:26 just thought I just kept throwing up. You know, anything I would eat, I would just throw it up. And let me tell you, that went on for years. Secret. And it was very secret. Nobody knew. Knew that.14:37 And if people questioned, you weren't truthful about it. You know? Exactly.14:41 Nobody questioned because nobody ever thought of it. And so, honestly, whenever I really got to be more mature in the Lord, I was in college14:53 and I realized, oh my goodness. I'm in bondage. This is a bondage. This is sin. And I I realized that Satan himself I just began to to know15:04 this, that he was gonna try to kill me. And I through this and even I was warned because there was a lady in a in a church in the church15:16 that had died. And she was like you know a mom of 3 and nobody knew and she died because she was bulimic.15:26 It's a very secretive disease.15:28 It is. And so, I began to just say, okay, fine. I'll quit. Uh-uh. No. Because the enemy had his hold on me15:40 because I had allowed, even though I was a Christian, I didn't think of it as a sin, but even though as a Christian I had allowed this thing to come in. And so I am telling you15:51 that I begin to plead with the Lord and it seemed like it got worse. I just kept getting worse. And so 1 day I just was like, God I have no idea how to get out of this. I I I16:03 know that the enemy wants to to kill me because we know the word says he wants to kill, steal, and destroy. But honestly I just kept crying out to God. I remember beating on the floor like,16:15 You have got to help me because if if you don't help me I think I'm gonna die. And and so I got a call from a friend who did not know what was going on. She said, Michelle I need you16:27 to come over today. And I went over and she said, the Lord gave me a vision. You were throwing up. And she said, now this is what's gonna happen. I'm gonna pray for you.16:39 God is gonna deliver you. And then it's going to come back. And when it comes back, you are gonna be a minister to women because God is gonna deliver16:51 you for good. And so that actually all happened like I was free indeed. And then and then after I had my third child I got really really nauseous17:03 and I was chubby from having the child and it happened again. And then I was in bondage again. And I went to this freedom conference and when I went to the17:15 altar this woman of God came up to me, put her hands on my hands, and she said the words that was prophesied all those years ago. And she17:27 said, Now be free to minister to women. I was like, how on the planet? How did she know? And yes, I was free. And I am free indeed.17:39 And you can be free, whatever it is. Yep. And we're gonna be back in just a moment.17:43 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, so18:42 order now.Breaking Chains Through Prayer and Faith 18:44 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about being free, being set free by the 1 and only, the powerful blood of Jesus Christ18:56 of Nazareth. There is no other way. And such a powerful testimony, and I'm so proud of you because I know, you know, I've shared with you my sister, you know, was very, very,19:08 you know, same same situation, and I was, like, her sponsor going to the clinic and, you know, all of that, and it is so difficult to end that and get out of it, and it is19:20 so secretive. And and, you you know, it's it's, like a shame thing, but isn't that what the devil loves? He loves secrets. And so, you know, if you're struggling with anything right now,19:32 the Bible says we overcome by the blood of the lamb and a word of our testimony is to just tell somebody, confide in a good Christian friend that you know and and or seek some good Christian19:44 counseling, and and get somebody that you trust that's gonna pray with you and for you because the Bible says when 2 or more gather, trusting and believing, we shall have what we19:55 pray. And you can be set free immediately because because if the Bible says we can have it, we can have it. And I'm 1 that believes every single word of the Bible. I know you too. And so whatever it20:07 says in the pages of that Bible are are for me. They're for you. And you can have it, and you can have the freedom that the Bible talks about having. And even if you just go to the concordance20:19 or you go to even even, you know, Google and put in scriptures on being set free, scriptures on deliverance, and they'll all come up for you, and you can print it out, personalize them, and20:31 speak them over your life because Jesus died to set you free. And he wants you free, and he wants you free today. And you don't have to spend20:43 1 more day, not 1 more minute in the bondage, and the the 1 more trip around the mountain. And that the the the the thoughts of I'm never gonna be free from this. This is20:55 always how it's gonna be. This is how my family always is. Our family always has these addictions or these problems. No. You can be the 1 right now who takes your authority. You can be the21:06 generational curse breaker in your family. You can stand up right now, and you just take your authority because, like we said, you're seated right now with Jesus at the right hand of21:18 your father. And you command that in but in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that you are set free and name it. Name whatever it is that you are free from. And then believe it and walk in21:30 it and testify and pray and believe that you are set free because we believe that some chains are gonna break today.21:38 Amen. And Jesus is real. He is as real as us sitting here. He is he wants you to be free, and21:50 and he doesn't just barely get you by.21:53 That's why he died.21:55 That exactly right. The Bible says when he sets you free, the Bible says he saves you, he sozos you, He saves you to the uttermost. Think22:06 about that. He doesn't barely you're just barely squeaking by. That's not what he's doing. He is saving you to the uttermost. He cannot. I I am telling you I am set22:18 free. And I know people that Jesus just set free from drugs, set free from alcohol. He has set free from anxiety and fear.22:31 Sometimes people have this overwhelming feeling of fear. The Bible says he does not give you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love and of power and a sound mind.22:43 So he never meant for you to live in bondage. And so we wanna pray with you today, and we wanna let you know that Jesus is the same22:54 God yesterday, today, and forever. That means what Jesus did when He walked this earth He set people remember the Gadarean who was bound? He had 200023:06 demons. He was shackled. He was cutting himself. Jesus set him free. He set him free. Jesus can do anything and he wants to do it for you because he loves23:18 you.23:18 Yeah. And and and the just 1 drop of that blood that he shed for all of us can can just wipe out everything and the devil can't cross the bloodline.23:30 Isn't that amazing that we have that, we have that way to be set free and and when when he sets you free completely, there's no going back. And and, you know, you and I have been, you know,23:42 we we are 1 another's accountability people and checking in on each other and making sure that we're okay and praying for 1 another. And that because the Bible talks about 2 or more gathered. And so,23:54 again, get yourself a good prayer partner. Call. There's so many, even like CBN. There's you can write to us. We're happy to pray for you and with you and stand in agreement with you for freedom. And so,24:06 Michelle, do you wanna pray?24:07 Yes. Absolutely. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for each person that is listening. Lord, you see them right where they are. Lord, there are people that are24:19 desperate right now.24:20 Yes.24:21 They wanna be free, and they don't know how to get free. So, God, right now, we ask you to deliver them. Deliver them with your mighty hand,24:33 Lord. Set them free forever. Save them to the uttermost. If they don't know you, God, let their hearts be open and let them invite you in, Lord, to be the Lord24:45 of their life and to be saved and set free and delivered for life. We pray, God, that we would hear testimonies and miracles. Lord, we thank you for the24:57 freedom that is only found in you, and we thank you, God, that you are setting people free. Chains are falling off even now forever. In Jesus'25:09 name. Amen. Amen. Wow. Powerful.25:13 And we just love you guys. We're so grateful for our wonderful viewers and our partners. And Michelle and I love to hear from you guys and and your your emails and and we just, you know, head on over25:25 to social media. You can message us there. We want to pray with you. We wanna hear what God's doing in your life. And if you have a testimony about what happened on today's show, we wanna hear about it. And, you know, we25:35 give all glory to God in all of those things. And so we are just grateful. We are finishing up our eleventh season and heading into 12 season our twelfth season, and and that's just because of you guys. And so we25:47 love you, and we are so grateful for you, and so we just wanna pray God's abundance over you guys.25:53 Amen. And I want you now we're starting a new year, so you wanna get these books that Nina Lina has written with her own pen,26:05 100 days with God. 1 100 days with God. 2, you can get them on Amazon, and we really want you to order them because that's 200 amazing days. And then after 200,26:17 you start over. And they're awesome devotionals. It's a daily devotional, and they're very26:23 help our ministry. It all goes back into the ministry to pump the gospel out. So and, you know, it'll help you on your walk with the Lord. It's full of of scripture. So we love you guys. Thank you so much for joining us.26:34 God bless you.26:35 Why do atheists care so much about Christians anyway? Well, they'll tell you this. Religion is bad. It's the cause of most wars. But again, evidence shows differently. It shows26:47 that out of 1763 documented wars, only 123 were due to religion. That's between 6 and 7 percent. When you take out Islam, that only leaves 326:59 percent of all wars that could be attributed to religion.27:06 Does science disprove God? Is there a27:09 war between science and faith?27:11 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.27:17 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the the biggest objections in existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:28 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.27:46 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:49 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:52 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God. I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.28:05 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.
