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, we're gonna be talking about how it is payback time. It is time to start expecting God's goodness in our lives. We have1:08 to stop speaking the problems, and we have to start speaking the promises because God's promises are yes and amen. And if you know his word and you know the promises that he has for you, then we should1:19 expect that and nothing but that. And we shouldn't take anything that the devil's throwing at us for face value. He's a liar. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy, so we're gonna start expecting1:31 that he has to repay us everything he steals. You know, the bible says he's gotta come back and pay us back. And I don't know how many times, Michelle, we always think, that's it. He's just racking up our blessings1:42 because he's gotta pay me back for that and that and that. Like, I'm talking about even when he steals time and joy and not just monetary things, but, you know, if he's if he's stealing, you know, something in1:54 your family, if you need restoration, he's gotta pay that back. He's gotta pay everything back. Days of health, days of peace, days of joy coming back. We're declaring it.2:03 Amen. And, you know, in Joel, it says that I will restore to you the years the cankerworm has eaten. So I don't know how many people you know, we2:15 talk to people all over, and they talk about, you know, well, I've been praying for my children, my prodigal children for so many years. I have been praying for my spouse to2:27 to not be addicted to, you know, alcohol or nicotine. I have been praying for years for someone to be2:38 healed, and I haven't seen it. You know what? Those are the the days when God is stretching your faith. Yeah. Now I2:50 know. I know. My husband and I prayed for years for his healing,2:56 It's remarkable.2:58 I I know. I know. And I I I have shared with many of you, you know, we would stand and believe and and and pray that that the Lord would heal3:09 him prior to him getting ill. He he was a runner. He was a marathon runner. He did triathlons, and then all of a sudden he couldn't do it, and and that went on for3:21 years. We would just say, God, in the name of Jesus, heal heal Troy. We we are asking you from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet.3:33 And you know what? About a year and a half a little over a year ago, he ran a 50 mile ultra marathon. God healed him. God healed him of 2 things, and that's what makes me3:44 laugh. It's for so many years Double portion. Amen. For so many years, we prayed crown of crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and he didn't just heal him of of 1 thing and and3:56 allow him to run. He healed him of other things, you know. And so, it it's amazing to me that that God, if you continue to pray,4:08 God is gonna answer you. Do not give up. That's my And4:12 also, you know, the the thing about that was you guys were so persistent. And no matter what, no matter I mean, he could have been in in worse pain, had worse symptoms, you know, just all the things that no4:24 matter what you're praying, the devil's going to constantly say, it's not gonna happen. It's not coming. Look. Now it's look seems worse, you know, but4:32 That's the worst part is some some days it's like, well, not only did we pray or fast or, you know, in or go to church, lay at the altar, whatever it was,4:44 guess what? It got worse. And so you cannot give up. Just keep on.4:49 Well, there's also like the devil that comes to steal your seed. The minute you pray, you know, he's the Bible talks about that. Like, you're gonna pray, you're gonna feel so good, maybe you're in your prayer closet,5:00 maybe you're just having your time with the Lord and you're just declaring everything, and and you're praying with Troy, 2 or more gathered, and you're believing all these things, and then the doctor's report comes in5:11 and you're thinking it's gonna be better and it's not, or you're thinking or or as soon as you get out of your prayer closet, the phone rings and it's the bad news of the day or whatever. And that's what the devil does.5:20 He wants to come and steal the seed the very second that you had some good time with the Lord. And that is why we have to constantly just just know, nope. That's him. That's what he's5:31 doing. I will not listen to that. I'm gonna expect good news. I'm gonna stand on God's word. I'm gonna stay with what I just spoke. He is a liar. He's not gonna steal my prayers and what I've just been praying5:43 about. We're going to see it come to fruition. And you guys stood. I mean, it was years. And so a lot of people who just throw in the towel, well, I prayed 3 times or I went to the church twice about it.5:55 That isn't how it works. Now some people get healed instantly, and that's amazing. And Jesus healed people instantly all the time, and and we can see that. We have seen it. We've been around6:07 that. We've witnessed it. We've we've been we've prayed for people and watched miracles, and then yet in our own families and homes. But but there's the thing. It will happen when6:19 you stay in that prayer, when you stay believing and you stay trusting God because you have a promise in that word, and there's nothing there's nothing else that can come6:31 against that promise when you stand. No matter what, whose report are you gonna believe? He is the great physician. He is the healer. He is the 1 who can deliver your children. He can deliver you from6:42 diseases, illnesses, addictions, anything. He can he can, you know, cause you somebody to to step out of the out of the way so you can have a promotion that doesn't even seem likely6:54 that you're gonna jump over things that maybe you just thought would never happen. You'd never see yourself in that position. Right. But these are the things that God can do, and start expecting these things. Start7:06 expecting prayers to be answered.7:09 Amen. And know that God is faithful regardless of what you see. The the Lord has been giving me a scripture. I I'm praying about a lot of things,7:21 but the Lord has been giving me this scripture out of Habakkuk which talks about though there's nothing on the vine. Like, it is like doom, gloom, apocalyptic,7:33 I will trust the Lord. And that is what the Lord requires of us. He it is impossible to please God without faith.7:45 And so even if you have the tiniest morsel of a mustard seed of faith, you can say to the mountain, be thou removed, be cast into the sea, and it shall be done. And7:57 but it doesn't mean that it's gonna happen right then. It does not mean that. It means you stand. It says, and you believe, and you endure. And if you faint not, you8:09 shall reap a reward. So don't give up and don't give in. Just keep praying and stand on the word because you let me just tell you. The enemy comes at us8:20 with accusations, and he plays mind tricks. And there's 1 of my favorite scriptures says this. It says, although your heart condemns you, God is greater than8:32 your heart. So sometimes when God isn't answering your prayer right then, you feel that you're condemned. And you know what? We're gonna talk more about that inner voice when we come back.8:44 I'm excited to announce that we're bringing back our best offer ever on our original My Slippers.

You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about it is payback time, and we are gonna start expecting God to answer and to move in our lives.9:57 And, you know, the Bible says that at the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen, and that is in Isaiah 60 verse 22. So at the right time, I10:08 the Lord will make it happen. What is the right time? God's got perfect timing. We don't we think, we're always like, can you hurry it up? Like, you know, we we really want these things like yesterday. But what is10:20 he working through in us? Like, that's that's that's something that we have to remember that every trial, everything you're waiting on, everything you're dealing with, that is10:32 producing something in you because, you know, when the bible says resist the devil, submit things to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you, there's got to be something the10:44 devil needs resisting from, you know, and it's these trials. It's these things that he's bringing into your lives. It's the it's the bad news of the day. It's the circumstances. It's the job, the kids, the family, the10:55 marriage. It's whatever it is. So when that's when the rubber meets the road. That's when we just need to call on him. We need to keep calling on him. We need to start resisting. We need to take our11:07 authority. If you don't go through these things, you don't realize the authority you have. You don't know how to stretch your faith. You don't know how to command these things to get out of the way because you know the11:18 promises of God, and you know who you are in him, and the authority that comes to you and belongs to you as a believer. And that's what's so powerful because these things that, you know, that we we11:30 go through just like Job, you know. What he did not waver. No. He didn't. His beliefs and his faith in the Lord, he didn't he11:40 And and his friends, his besties His family. Know, they were like, you know, you did this. This is all you. And you know what? That is so the enemy's voice when we're11:52 going through a long trial. If you're if you're watching us from a hospital room, if you're watching us from, you know, a place where your spouse just left or you're brokenhearted over12:04 something, let me just say the enemy is going to use that. He never misses an opportunity to take your crisis and condemn you. That is the truth. And so,12:16 like like what I was saying before the break, you know, that although our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts. So you have to say, no. That is not what God's word12:28 says. God's word says, even if the enemy's right, I can be forgiven. And and and if there's anything that is blocking this blessing, God12:40 can show me. And God's word says that by his stripes, I am healed, that his blood is speaks of better things12:52 to come, that he gives us a hope and a future. Right. God says that if you train up a child in the way they should go, they will come back. They will13:03 they're they're gonna return back. Yeah. So God knows your heart, and and he's greater than your heart in spite of what the enemy says.13:15 Well, the enemy you know, think about this. You know, he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Right? So think about this. He doesn't I I I really kinda was thinking about this 1 day. He doesn't really13:27 want you dead because he's just sending you to heaven. If you're a believer, he wants you here tormented, frustrated so that you give up, you turn away from Christ, you don't live your best life,13:38 you're not out blessing others, you're not out evangelizing, you're not out, you know, being the the godly example in the world. He wants you some torn apart, weeping, crying, you know, anxiety13:50 ridden basket case that is not doing 1 thing for the Lord. You know, what good are you? You know, he want he wants to wipe you out and kill your life. You're gonna go be with Jesus. That in my book, he lost because14:02 he just sent another 1 to heaven. Right? I mean, think about that. Right? Like, I don't know. That's nigh analogy.14:07 But he does say kill. Right. So he does want to kill.14:11 I know he wants that,14:12 but it's like destroy.14:13 But isn't that kind of pointless from his from from a standpoint? He wants to kill14:17 you. Opportunity.14:18 But I think if you're a believer, I think he he he he does more damage by tormenting you.14:25 I just He did the lord did specifically say when he's talking to Job Yeah. He can't touch his life. Right. Like, he he he had boils. Yeah. His wife said curse god and die. All of his14:37 children died. I mean, everything you can think of, all his sheep, everything, his his occupation, he lost it all. And still, God said, you can't kill it.14:48 Yeah. But what else does he kill? Your your marriage, your job, your kill you know?14:53 If he if he can.14:54 And and he can bring these things like addictions and things that you're so that are so ahead in your life that you're that's Lord for you instead of God, instead of Jesus being15:06 Lord. You're putting these things ahead, and so he tries to have those things be Lord over you.15:11 Well, I'm glad you brought that up because, like, when addiction like, think like, think about the things that you have been through in your life, and it where15:22 somebody maybe died of cancer Mhmm. Or you you prayed so hard and there was still a divorce, you know? Whatever like for me, you know, I prayed15:34 for my father, and he still died, and he and he died of DTs, you know. I prayed against the addiction in my 17 year old way, but still God heard me, you know, but15:46 but he was right with the Lord. So God was still faithful, and then he got him right before he passed away. But but in those things where you saw that it didn't15:58 work out the way you dreamed it would, Like, I pictured that my dad would live, and he would be, you know, this wonderful father and grandfather, and I16:10 pictured a future, and yet God God in his sovereignty allowed him to go and be with him. Now, he was right with the Lord. I know I'll see him again, but16:22 in my mind, sometimes when I'm praying for addiction, I pray with a travail that maybe some might not have because I was born into it.16:34 But there is something inside of me that says, but God You know, the enemy will come and say, yeah, but your daddy died.16:40 Look what16:41 look what that you know, God allowed that. And then I have to do this mental gymnastics where it's like, yes, but he was right with God. And yes, God is faithful anyway. And16:52 what if he couldn't have lived lived it out? And what would have happened?16:57 He was delivered and he was healed. But just in a17:00 way that In mind. In our mind. And so when you feel disappointed with God, that can be something that the enemy says, well, just give up. It's not it's never happening.17:12 Don't do that. Keep calling it out and say, I don't care if it looks impossible. With God, all things are possible to them that believe. And that's what you have17:24 to stand on. I don't know what else to say. I have I have never seen the righteous righteous forsaken nor God's seed begging for bread. He is faithful and true, and you17:36 can count on him, and we're coming back in just a minute.17:38 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest Christmas sale ever. You get our brand new 6 piece My towels for only 29 98, or rejuvenate your bed with a MyPillow17:50 mattress topper as low as 99 99. Or how about MyPillow bed sheets for as low as 24 98?

It's our biggest Christmas sale ever. Get all your shopping done now while quantities last.18:38 Welcome back. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about how we're gonna start expecting everything in the Bible that God says we can have. We can have it no matter what it looks18:50 like, no matter what it feels like. You know, it's always darkest before the dawn, but, you know, in the bible, it talks about the 30, the 60, and the hundredfold return. Well, I say go big or go home. You know, 3019:02 is great, but if you could have sixtyfold, 60 is great, but if you could have 100 fold, like, why are we settling? Like, nobody's just going, hey, You know, I saw that scripture, but can you just give me the 30 fold?19:13 No. Let's ask for everything because I would rather ask so big, Ask for, you know, whatever say you need your your children, use something. Ask for everything. Just start19:25 declaring and praying that they are the sons and daughters of Christ, that they're gonna fulfill their purpose. They're gonna live on purpose for him and do great and powerful exploits for the Lord. Just keep praying.19:35 Amen. Say it all. Don't just say, you know, I just hope 1 day maybe they get saved. No. I would rather pray huge things that almost make no sense that and and get half then pray19:47 too little and get it all. Because god who's god? He's so big. He is the god who created the entire universe. Your child, your marriage, your job is nothing19:59 from him. That is a piece of cake for god. But you are spend too much time listening and believing to what the devil's saying. Like, he has this little power to whisper to us and20:11 say these things when we need to right away immediately go, you know what? That isn't God. God doesn't talk like that. Faith is in the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen. So20:22 even when we haven't seen it, we're to have faith because and keep believing. Just know that we know that we know that God hears our prayers. He's faithful. He answers prayers. Even in Daniel, it says the20:34 minute he prayed that angels are dispatched. Angels are dispatched the very minute we pray. And so that's what we need to know and remember that God is faithful, and he's got it, and he20:46 restores.20:47 He does. And speaking of angels, my my new kick. You know, I mean, I don't care. Innumerable. She knows20:55 because I've been20:56 saying it.20:57 Knows. I've been saying it because you've been saying it.21:00 So I read I read in the bible. I've I've been reading the bible since I think I was 20 years old, like faithfully, you know. So on the daily, like,21:12 I I get up in the morning, I I get a cup of coffee, I open the Bible. That that has happened every day pretty much without fail since then, and that's a21:24 while. So I read sometimes something will just pop out and you've been reading it all that time, and yet it said,21:35 innumerable angels. You have access to innumerable angels, and it says that you do you not know that the angels are sent out21:47 to the sons and daughters of salvation? So you're not just sitting here praying all by yourself. There are the you have the heavenlies. There are 2 realms. You walk21:59 by faith and not by sight. So as you're praying, picture that angels are being dispatched to help you, to go before you and22:11 behind you, to surround you with favor like a shield. So no matter what happens, like, a lot of times, you know, I get up from my bible reading and prayer, and I didn't feel22:23 anything. I didn't feel a thing. You know, you would think if you if you were a good Christian, you would be feeling something at all times. Right?22:31 See, that was the conviction. If you were a good Christian, know, see, isn't that what the devil tries to do? It's trippy. It's like you're like, okay. I'm a bad no. We're not gonna believe that. We're you know, God, we22:42 don't have get your feelings out of the out of the picture.22:45 And know that you're not by yourself.22:46 Right. Because the we're not you know, we don't if we have to wait till we feel something, that's just that's just a whole, devil jargon Yes. Right there. Because that is not of God. You know, there's sometimes22:58 we feel his glory. We're like, wow. Then Sometimes you do. And sometimes you're just like, but I know he heard me. Because the Bible even says that. If you know he's heard you. And we know that because he's23:10 always with you, he will never leave you or forsake you. Do you know what forsake means? It means abandon. He will never abandon you. He will never leave you alone. He's with you. The Holy Spirit is in you. So23:21 how can he not hear you? Like, that's that's the thing. We have to remember that he knows and his answers are yes and amen, and he answers those prayers. He's right there with us.23:31 No matter how Yes. Long it takes. Amen. When Expect. The the first time that after all those years when Troy was healed, he crossed the finish23:42 line of the Houston marathon. That was a moment. That was a moment. I mean, that was impossible. When I tell you that was impossible, that was impossible.23:54 And yet, he God was faithful and true. He was faithful and true. He will if he answered me, God is no respecter of persons. If he answered Troy, if24:06 he answered his whole godly family who had been praying, he stepped out in faith and and he believed God, and he crossed the finish line. It took a24:18 long long time. So don't give up. That's our message today. Don't give up. Expect that you are going to that God is gonna begin to perform mighty exploits24:30 and and he's gonna answer those prayers. It may not be today. It may not even be next year, but God is gonna answer you.24:36 Amen. And it could be instantaneous, like, we just don't know. But God, in his wisdom and in his perfect timing, he's got everything we need. He's got the answer to everything that you seek. Just24:48 expect. Live with expectancy and just start believing. And, you know, my my prayer is is that we will all constantly say this year and always, wow. Look what God did. God did25:00 that. Look what God did. Just start to give him glory. See the little things. Just see the little bits of favor in your life all the way up to the big things, but just know that was God. That was you. Thank you, God.25:12 And just see him working and moving. Give him glory. Be thankful. Start praising him in the midst of what you're dealing with. We know he's got you. Michelle, you wanna pray?25:21 Amen. Lord, we thank you. We we call upon you. I know there are so many prayer needs all across the world, and you are not too busy. You know the very hairs on our head are numbered. So we25:33 declare miracles, God. We pray for breakthroughs. We know that you are faithful and true, Lord. And and we just put our trust in you, Jesus. In Jesus' name,25:45 amen. Amen. We are so grateful for all of you.25:48 We just love our faithful viewers and partners, and thank you so much.

Is there a26:34 war between science and faith? We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:40 Is there no evidence for God?26:41 Am I delusional for my beliefs?26:43 It is delusional and stupid.26:45 Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore reason?26:48 Logic. Critical thinking. Science. RDOF uses27:00 logic and reasoning.27:01 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:06 If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:16 Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you want to be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:34 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:37 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:40 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.27:48 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:53 I never believed in God. Just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my full belief, full faith in the Lord, man. The28:05 appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.
