Commanding Your Morning: Taking Authority Over Your Day 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. We are so happy you joined us today because we're gonna be talking about how you start your day is going to really determine everything about1:08 your day. And you know, I got a hold of this information that, you know, from a sermon, that I listened to, and I thought, this is so good, and so we're gonna talk today about commanding your1:19 morning, and what that means, and what that looks like, and if you take authority before your feet touch the floor, and you start making commands, because the Bible says when you command1:31 something, when you decree something, it shall be established for you. And so we're talking today that before you pick up your phone and start scrolling and go get your coffee, no, just1:43 before anything else, you just start speaking over your day that it's gonna be blessed and have life over your day and that, you know, bind anything that the devil1:55 has planned for you that day, and on and on and on. We're gonna talk all about that today, so you're gonna wanna call your friends, get your coffee ready, and and we're gonna we're gonna get through this. This is gonna2:05 be good stuff.2:06 Well, don't you think we have to be intentional Yes. You know, about our day? Well, I mean, we do. We have to be intentional about our day. We cannot just let the day get away from us. And and don't you think I mean, I2:17 thought this so many times, like, I woke up nice. You know, you've said that. You know? It's true. And then something happens, and then you're triggered by whatever the bad news of the day2:29 is. Right? You hear something on the news. 1 of your children might call with something, or something happens, something happens in your house or whatever, and and then2:40 that takes over the day instead of you being intentional about your day. And, you know, when I think about it, like, you know, who how many of us have read the book2:52 of Job? I mean, the guy went through everything you would never wanna go through. Right? And and yet, at the towards the very end of Job, God answers3:04 Job. And 1 of the first things God says to Job is He says in Job 38 12, have you commanded the morning3:16 since the days began? God is in charge of the day. And I love that. Don't you? Yeah. And so he's our father. Mhmm. Think about that. And we have all3:28 access to the father through Jesus Christ, his son, and the Bible says that we can go boldly to the throne of grace to find help in3:40 times of trouble. So no matter what is going to happen in the day, we can command the day. We can follow the Lord's example in commanding the day, and I3:52 love that.3:52 Think about, like, any kind of harvest. Think about what you plant. Like, think about how farmers get up at the dawn, first part of the day, to plant their seeds, and, you know, and to get the right4:04 soil, and the right sunlight, and the right everything, and, you know, just think about that, whatever seeds, it's the same thing, whatever you are planting in that time, you know, will produce the4:16 harvest. And, you know, I think, you know, people you might ask, you know, like, what do you mean? Like, what are some of your how are you commanding your morning? And I'm so glad you asked, because because4:28 because, like, I think I I before I even get up, like, my eyes are barely open, and I am just like, I start with thank you. You know, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, of everything I can think of. Thank you that, you4:40 know, I'm healthy, I woke up today, that my that my kids are healthy, that that, you know, that we have a house and to to live in, and that we have, you know, finances, and that we have jobs, and that we have, you know,4:51 just blessings. We have food in our refrigerator, warm house to live, and, you know, just on and on and on, everything you can think of. And then, I start with some people that need prayer, you know, that are just like,5:02 and Lord, thank you that you're blessing so and so, and I thank you that you're gonna heal this person and that person, and I just go through that prayer list. And then, I start with, and the devil has no right to5:14 any people or place or thing I've prayed over today. He cannot touch my family, my kids, my house, my finances, my my friends, he cannot. And any plans that he has for me today or for these people I5:26 have prayed for are canceled, null and void, that they will not happen, that he cannot have any authority or license to bring any harm to any of these people or situations. And when you start5:37 to say, you start speaking scripture then, you know, no weapon formed against me can prosper. You know, that I am blessed and cannot be cursed today. That the blessings of the Lord will chase me down. That I'm going to5:48 walk in favor everywhere I go. That God, you are bringing me favor, and no matter where I am, that I have the favor of the Lord, no matter what situation I'm in, and that you are gonna put me in6:00 places and divine appointments and send me good news and emails and I'm gonna have breakthrough after breakthrough. And I just keep going like that, and it just keeps going until I literally feel like, okay, I feel like6:12 I've said it all today. And lastly, I say, now order my steps. And I want to live this day on purpose for you, I want to be in the exact, you know, situation,6:24 the exact place and time, the divine appointments, you know, that you are gonna place me in today. Bring me somebody to bless today. Show me who needs to hear your word today. You know, just just all of that. And6:36 then when you just you and ask for his peace, his peace over all of it. And then finally, I will get up. I'm like, okay. Now then I'll go get in my bible and say, you show me what you have for me6:47 today, And get my coffee and said about that. But when you take authority, that you don't give the devil a foothold because your faith didn't even hit the floor yet,6:59 and you took your authority, and you are the 1 who's in charge right now, not him, because you started your day on the right foot with God commanding your morning.7:09 Well, I think about, you know, in the morning, the Bible says in Psalms 5 3, in the morning, Lord, you hear my voice, and it says once again, in the morning. Yes. And it says, I lay7:20 my request before you, and I wait expectantly. So God has a plan for your day, and and you just you know, I basically, when whenever7:32 I pray for anyone, I pray until I stop, I kind of see things in my mind's eye, and, and and so that's what7:44 I pray as I'm praying. And so I always think, well, that must be what the Holy Spirit wants me to pray, because the Bible says that we don't know how to pray. You know, we really we have no clue how to pray.7:56 You know, who could have expected that a 9 11 would have happened, or, an October eighth would have happened in Israel, or you know, we don't know, but God does know. And so8:08 we can get before the Lord, ask Him how to pray, trust Him, and then when we hear from Him, we can command our day. And that is what we're,8:20 we're, you know, we need to make it a pattern. We're only as good as our patterns, right? So with that, we're gonna come back in just a moment.8:30 Hello, everyone.

We are talking about commanding our day and not letting the day get away from us. And you know, I love this expression,9:43 and and it's kind of like something that we say in our family. If you want something you've never had, you've gotta do something you've never done. So if you have never commanded your morning, and your day gets away from9:55 you, I mean, do you ever have a day, and I know I've had many days like this, where at the end of the day, I think, what did I even do today? You know, do you ever feel like that, but yet you were busy?10:06 So we need to be intentional about how we live and how we pray, and and how we command our day, and what we do in a day, because the10:18 Bible says to make the most of every opportunity, a day is an opportunity. I mean, we should get all excited, because every day we live and breathe, we have an opportunity10:30 to tell people about Jesus, to save people, and get them into heaven and and and get them written in the Lamb's Book of Life. We have a day that we can lay hands on the sick and they10:42 shall recover. We have a day where wherever we walk, revival can happen because Jesus Himself lives on the inside of us, so there's a lot going on with a10:55 a blood bought child of God. This is the inheritance of the children of God that we can take authority over our day. Well, think about the11:07 the command that we have through the blood11:10 of Jesus and through the, you know, it says that that that, you know, the Bible says that we will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, that we can command demons to leave and they have to flee at the name of11:19 Jesus. That, you know, all the authority that we have, that we are if you don't know you have that, then you're not gonna be able to command those things to leave. And so, how you start your day11:31 is gonna be how it ends. Like, think about, think about anything that you are gonna do in life. Like, think about, like, I I I remember I remember when I was right out of college and,11:43 I went to college in Illinois and if you had a degree from a college, from any college that you graduated in Illinois, you could substitute teach with that degree. And so I11:55 was deciding while I was interviewing and waiting on my job, that I would just substitute teach, like, how hard could it be? Right? I was just gonna go, so I don't have a teaching. I'm laughing, but12:07 I just can only imagine. I know. So, okay, so so I so talking about taking a command. Right? So so I I get12:16 so then I'm on all these sub lists, and they're like calling me constantly, and I12:20 thought, okay, this is You were a great teacher. Oh, no. So this is good this is good money while I'm waiting, you know, and then you could you could just say no if you had to go interview, so it all worked out. Right?12:30 And so I get into this class, 1 of my first days was a third grade class. Right? And there's this binder with all the stuff that I need to know for the class and and all this stuff, and it literally12:41 said that anybody who's misbehaving, that you put their name on the board and then you put check marks if they just keep misbehaving and that the teacher would deal with them when she got back. And so12:53 this class went crazy. Like, I did not come in and take my command authority. Like, they were running around, there was people everywhere. There was this 1 kid, I just say, he had like 5013:05 checks behind his name. Like, I just could not get him.13:08 And I was I was Send him to the principal's house. Little, like, at13:12 the time, like, I just, like, out of college, I was like a pretty tiny person, and I think they just thought, like, who are you? You know, you put, you know, like, we're not listening to you. And so I remember even,13:21 like, taking them to the restroom, like, lining them up to the restroom, and the boys wouldn't come out of the restroom. And I'm, like, yelling into the I don't know the protocol, like, am I allowed to go in there? I13:31 didn't wanna go in there. I don't know what to do. And then so I'm like, come out now. And I and so I went I sent 1 of the good boys who literally came out, like, to go tell them they had to come out. And all of a13:42 sudden, a PE teacher comes out, this guy, and he's, like, going in and gets them. And But lastly, I had this teacher from next door that came in my room and13:54 slammed the door and she had this big Pentecostal hairdo, and she goes, why is there noise in this classroom? And they like scattered to their desks. They sat down immediately. And she was like, she just like commanded14:05 the robe. And they listened to her and they like sat there. I was like, woah. Like what just happened? Like, I had like 0 authority in that classroom. And so this is what I mean, like so think about14:18 the devil knowing that if you knew, if you knew the authority that you actually have, he just doesn't want you to know the authority that you have. Because he wants you to be weak, he wants you to be14:30 sad, he wants you to speak the problem, he wants the woe is me, he wants all of that stuff. And and, you know, that's what he says. And a side note on my a side note on my my substitute teaching14:42 days, that day I had to I had to give them a science quiz that they had, and I remember them coming up and they're going, you know, can you tell us about this? And it was about some amoeba. I had no clue. I was like, do14:53 you know how long it's been since they had third grade science? And so I was like, you were supposed to have studied that. Like, I just, like, I don't wanna I didn't know the answer at all, so thank God I never became15:05 an actual teacher. But but anyway, that that was my teaching plan. But I saw what it was like for somebody to take their authority. -Yeah. -And so, you know, kids wanted15:16 that. They wanted that security, like literally, it was a free for all in the classroom, and I was so exhausted. I was like, I'm not this is not my job15:27 for you know, I'm saying, God. We're gonna cross this 1 off for sure.15:31 We that's how you take authority and a command the same way, because the devil will scatter like those kids scattered to their seats because he's afraid of you. Amen. He is afraid of us15:43 getting up and knowing who we are in Christ.15:46 I love that. Well, and it says, Matthew 18 18, truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound, whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in15:57 heaven. So think about that, you do have authority. And I think about like, whenever, I lived, when I was in college, we had these neighbors that we had16:09 prayed for, that God would send us neighbors that were godly. And we would wait on the Lord, and, I mean, just sit there in the middle of the living room. There were there were 4 different,16:21 couples, and then we had people that would come in that were neighbors, and we would ask the Lord to, you know, talk to us. We just waited on Him, and we would16:33 bind, and we would loose, and let me tell you, that apartment complex had revival. I mean, we had people getting married that were living together,16:45 we had homosexuals that were breaking up, and they did not know why they got under conviction, We had a witch that, left the occult and got dedicated to, dedicated her16:57 baby to the Lord. We had people getting saved and healed. I mean, when you go in with your authority, you change the complete and total17:09 atmosphere. And so it's really exciting whenever you get a hold of this teaching. Amen. So we're gonna talk more about that when we come back.17:17 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 go b h17:29 b.

I drink Rev 7 every day, and I absolutely love it, and so will18:17 you.18:18 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. Today, we're talking about commanding your day and starting your day off right with your complete authority over that day and anything that is going to happen18:30 in that day. You know, think about how God knows everything. And so we have no idea, you just will never know until you're with Jesus, what your prayers have blocked. Like,18:42 we don't know. By commanding your day in that morning, you have no idea what you prevented. By putting a hedge of protection and commanding the devil's plans and his tactics and18:54 schemes to be canceled, you could have stopped and blocked an accident or you don't know, you know, you could have forwarded some some, you know, problem that could have happened in your workspace or your work19:04 environment or something with with a child getting hurt or something. You know, we have to just know that that when we pray, and and again, like you said, pray according to we wait on19:16 God, and whatever you feel led to pray, and a lot of times even if you just pray in the spirit, because we don't even know what we're blocking when we pray in the spirit. But but by starting your day that way, because19:27 don't you, realize sometimes that you get up and maybe there's a phone call or a text first thing, and then you're answering that, responding to that, and then sometimes you're getting distracted, like, I'm I'm getting19:38 anxious. -Or I'm throwing something in the washing machine, or I'm oh, then I notice the dishwasher needs to be unloaded. And then it's like and then I will get to the Bible. I will get to my time with the Lord. But then19:50 I feel like kind of like, almost like by that time I need an attitude adjustment. Look, I feel like I haven't -Ad is on. -I'm like, oh, yeah. Like, I'm20:02 just kind of like think you know, I I realize I don't even start my day in the best attitude if I don't start it with the Lord. Oh, that's for sure.20:10 Like, I feel I'm not saying for you. I'm saying20:12 for you. Yeah. Like, I feel like maybe it's the news from last night or some family issue, or anything else. That you're thinking about that is kind of taking over your thoughts, and then you're like,20:24 you know, thinking about all that and you're really not in the best mood. And so that's the thing about when you start your day off on literally the right foot. Like, literally, you know, don't let a foot hit the floor20:35 until you've got yourself covered. Because, you know, then let the Lord deal with your attitude too. Like, if you're still feeling that way, like, Lord, I just give this to you because I can't fix it. Only20:47 you can do it. And then you feel a a peace about it, like, that you don't have to, like, strive. And that's the thing. The devil wants us so stressed out.20:56 You know? Well, I mean, if you take your authority, you know, like it says it says that you can trample. No. Not that I ever want to do this. I I wanna trample over21:08 snakes, but the Bible says that you have the authority to trample over snakes, and, you you take authority over the demonic. You21:20 take authority over sickness. You take authority over, depression, over anxiety. You can call these things out. The Bible21:32 says to call those things that are not as though they are. That's taking authority. You can begin to say what is exactly the opposite of your situation and I promise you, it does21:43 sound crazy when you say it. You know, you you start you start saying, you know, God, I thank you that my children are standing at the pulpit giving21:55 their testimony. I thank you that my friend who has cancer is is out of that hospital. She is completely healed. She is22:07 going about her daily business. I thank you that finances are blessed, that I have I am doing the all that you have called me to do. I thank22:19 you that you are opening those doors. You begin to call things out, and and and just begin to call it out as if it was already. And I I mean, it22:31 does you it it begins to build faith.22:33 Well, we've we've said this before, like, where we've asked the Lord, you know, we've been together for lunch, like, give us somebody to pray for or bless today. And all of a sudden, there's somebody crying in the22:43 restaurant that we're over there praying for. We see somebody in the parking lot that that has an issue that that winds up being part of our story that we're praying for. And, you know, I had a car issue, which I didn't22:54 even have ever have a car issue, but he was there. He came to, like, jump the car, and then we were able to pray for him. So even God, you know, the devil what he meant means for harm, God used for good, and then the car23:05 was fine and never an issue after that. And so you think about what the devil tries to do and and yet because you pray in the morning, no matter what comes up, you're ready and you23:16 can go through it with, like, not just a lie from the devil, but, you know, I'm just gonna pray, we're just going, we'll see what God does through this, and your whole attitude can be changed because of that. And it's23:27 like, so you don't have to let your day happen to you, you happen to your day.23:33 You happen to your whole life.23:34 Your whole life through the power of the blood of Jesus, and all that that provides us. It's amazing.23:41 Honestly, 1 of 1 of the biggest things that that I I do, my kids do it, is we write everything down. We that's to me commanding your vision23:53 board. It's it's like the Bible says, write the vision down so that you may run with it. No matter I have I have lists, and I also have something24:05 on my wall that I scratch off, you know, I write what I'm my plan is for the day. And, and when I'm not sure what I need to do next, I look up at the board, and24:17 I go to the next thing. And it it keeps you moving and it makes you more fruitful, you know, in your day. And I think that's part of commanding your day is writing down what what you need24:28 to do. It makes you see that you've accomplished a lot. Because a lot of times you can say, Wow, you know, like, it was a successful day, I got a lot done. And that makes you feel better about things, especially even if24:39 it's just mundane things, like I did all the laundry today, or, you know, I got my house straightened up, or whatever. You know, sometimes even just those things can make you feel better about life. Amen. So do you wanna24:50 pray, Cole? We're gonna pray that people will take the command of their day.24:55 Amen. So Lord, we call upon the name of Jesus, the name that is above every name. And we thank you that you are going to put this this command of yours25:07 to command our days in us. And Lord, let us be so fruitful. We ask you that you would give us the the fruit from heaven. Lord, give us Holy Spirit fruit.25:19 Lord, let let it be at the end of our days, Lord, that you will say we have done all you called us to do, and we thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.25:29 Thank you so much for being part of our ministry. We could not do this without you guys. We love our viewers, we love our partners so much, and we're just grateful for you guys. And we wanna hear from you, what's25:41 God doing in your life? What are your prayer requests? We are faithful to pray and answer those. And, you can find us all over the place. You could just Google, we're gonna pop up everywhere, YouTube, pray dot25:53 com. And, and then there you can you can binge watch. You can see whatever titles, you know, suit what you're going through. So so you can find us everywhere. Let us hear from you. We love you guys. We're grateful. God26:04 bless you, and take care.26:05 We love you. God bless you.26:08 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 shows26:20 that out of 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 leaves 326:31 percent of all wars that could be attributed to religion.26:39 Does science disprove God? Is there26:41 a war between science and faith?26:44 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:48 Is there no evidence for God?26:49 Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid.26:54 Am I brainwashed?26:55 Do I ignore reason?26:56 Logic. Critical thinking. Science.27:13 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:16 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:20 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections in existence of God, RDOF27:27 is the place for you. Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped27:56 rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.28:02 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.28:08 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.
