Worshiping Your Way to Victory 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 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Today we're gonna be talking about worship. Worshiping your way to victory. And, you know, you can't all you have to do is look at Psalms and just pick your bible1:07 up and scroll through the Psalms and see that every battle, you know, most of them were written by David, King David and A warrior. A warrior. And every battle, like, he just got out that he1:19 made the instruments. He worshiped, he danced before the Lord. He was such a worshiper and he did that before every battle. And God brought the victory after victory after victory. And so,1:32 is that not there for us to really learn from that? Like, any single, you know, any single problem, anything you're facing, anything you're dealing with, if you would just turn that around with some worship.1:43 Because if you're worshiping, you know, God inhabits the praises of his people. That's his address. That's where he lives. And the devil flees. He hates it. He hates worship music. He hates1:55 it.1:55 He conceives him.1:56 Yeah.1:57 It really does.1:58 And so that's where you're gonna see some victory because you're in a in a place, an atmosphere of praise is an atmosphere for the miraculous. For God, he's there. Obviously, he's2:09 always with you if you're saved. But Yeah. He inhabits those praises. That means like like, you know, all things can happen in the in the time of praise and worship. And that can set the precedent for what you need2:21 to accomplish, what needs to happen, the changes that need to occur, the miracles you need in your life. Like, that's all can happen through all of that. Amen.2:30 And I think about like, like when you think about worship, a lot of times you don't want to worship when you're in a situation, right?2:40 Right. I2:40 mean, who feels like worshiping right before, you know, they're going into a trial? Right. I mean that just doesn't seem like the best plan, but it's actually2:53 a war plan. It is. Like if you're going through a trial today, go to war in prayer, in praise. Yes. I think about like Jehoshaphat.3:05 King Jehoshaphat in the Bible, here they were, the Israelites, they're surrounded by 3 enemy armies, they're terrified, they're gonna lose. If God does not show up for this event,3:17 they're gonna lose and they know it. Yep. Right? And so they're terrified so they go on a fast and they pray. They even get the babies involved. They get kids with3:29 stumbling feet to show up for a national prayer and repentance, and they get together and somebody gets a word from God. And guess what the word was? The word was we're going3:41 to war, and we're gonna fight, and guess who's gonna be the SEAL team in the front? It's gonna be the worshipers. And not just any worshipers, we're gonna have these people singing praise and these3:53 people are gonna worship God in the beauty of His holiness. Amen. In the beauty of His holiness. Yeah. What does that mean? Okay, it says, We will enter His gates with thanksgiving. We will4:05 enter His courts with praise. Right? Then once you go Thanksgiving, start off with Thanksgiving, start off with praise, then you get into real worship.4:17 When you worship in the beauty of his holiness, you're worshiping him for who he4:24 is. Mhmm.4:24 Think about that. You're worshiping God for who he is. That's amazing4:30 Yeah.4:30 When you think about it. Think about it. He made the world. He is the God who heals. He is the God who sees. He's Jehovah Elroy. Yep.4:42 He is the God who is in he he will show up. Right? He when when he says that praise is his address, that is exactly4:54 what he means. Yeah. And when Jehoshaphat and Israel put the praise team in the front of the battle, The Bible says that that it confused the enemy. Yeah. God5:06 went after them, they got the He went in and they set ambushments against the enemy, and then guess what happened? They got the loot. So they5:17 got not just the victory, they didn't just win that battle, they won the war, they got out with the loot, plunder, everybody wants the loot.5:27 They won they got everybody else's plunder from the other wars. They didn't just it. But that's how God is. When he restores, he multiplies. And, you know, when we worship you know, and and here's here's the deal.5:37 Sometimes, you know, there's just not even words, you know. So you you just worship. You don't even know what to pray anymore. Or you've been on your knees like there's that song, your knees have worn out the floor. You5:48 know? But God is is so there in the midst of all that. He's so tenderhearted and he's got such mercy. But when we worship him, we're basically I I when you6:00 said Thanksgiving, when you when you begin to thank him, in your lowest of low places, when you just stop and say, I thank you for this. You know, when you wake up in the morning, thank you for for6:12 coffee. Thank you that I had a warm bed to sleep in. Thank you that, you know, it's a beautiful day outside. Thank you that I get to enjoy this day. Thank you that that I I'm I'm healthy and that my kids are healthy.6:22 When you start thanking him for every single thing you can think of, Everything. Thank you that I have running water and I have AC in my house. Like things that you don't even think of, but we6:34 should be grateful on a daily basis for all these things. I can open my refrigerator. I have food in there. You know, I I have a car to drive. I can I can go places? You know, I and you you just thank him6:46 for all these little things. It's going to be really hard after that to complain. You know? So when you just begin to, as a as a form of worship, to just praise him and thank him for everything he's6:58 done. Thank you that you did this. Thank you that you you protected me from this or that. Or thank you that, you know, that you have restored this relationship or that relationship. You know, whatever it is7:10 that God puts on your heart, just thank him for everything. And instead of the complaints or the go to prayer of I need this and I need that and I need that. And and yes,7:22 God wants us to ask and keep asking and to bring those requests to him, present them to him. But it also says to do that with thanksgiving. Be anxious for nothing. And present your request to the Lord with praises and7:33 thanksgiving. Because when you come at it from a place of of praise and thanksgiving, that builds your faith for then when you ask for the things you know, he's gonna do it again. He's gonna give7:45 me these these answers that I need. He's gonna fix these problems. He's gonna deal with these situations that I'm dealing with because that's his heart. That's his character.7:56 And and he wants to be in our in your you know, he wants us to ask for his presence. He does. And and think about, there's nothing better in a day than God's presence.8:09 If you begin your day with calling on the Lord, just turn on, like, if you, if you're not in the mood and you you don't feel like praising God, you you are bringing8:21 a sacrifice of praise, right? So just if if turn on some music. Yep. Get in there and turn your favorite song on. I like choirs, I for whatever reason, and I love8:33 to listen to them. So if I'm if I'm not feeling it, I will turn it on a choir, and God's presence will fill that room. Those are love. But we've run out of time in this segment, so we're8:44 gonna come right back.

That is the key, honestly. And it and it is really10:01 an element, I guess I would call it, that you can use. It's a tool that we have available to us to really change your heart, to really just bring about like, if you're in a bad mood, if you're just upset, if10:13 you're anxious or, you know, when you start to worship and praise the Lord in the midst of that, it is it it is so transforming because you almost can't, you know, be singing and praising the10:24 Lord and get your worship on before him and still feel the same way. You just you just can't. You know, I I heard someone say 1 time that that when you wake up, you need to get in your own head before10:36 the devil does. And so it's like so so, you know, whether that means like, before you even get out of bed, thank you Lord, thank you. You know, that what are we doing today? You know, I need you for every single second10:48 of this day. Order my steps. You know, I love you, I praise you, I worship you. You know, I put me right smack dab in the path that you have for me, you know, lead me, show me who needs to hear about you today, you know,10:59 like just order every step. I don't wanna do this day, not 1 single second of it without you first.11:05 Well, and don't you think that, like, it's the opposite of selfish ambition. What does the Bible say about selfish ambition? It says that where there is selfish ambition, which means you don't need God, you're going11:17 after stuff for yourself, and and you're you know you're trying to put yourself on the throne, it it says, where there's selfish ambition, there's every kind of evil. Alright. So think11:29 about putting God first. It says, if you seek God first in His righteousness, then all things will come unto you. Right? And it says that God inhabits the praises of his people. So what is the opposite of11:40 selfish ambition? Worship. Worship of the king of kings and the lord of lords. Right? Holy And you think about his holiness. Right? Think about how they open up the Bible. Think about how they11:52 hope how they worship God in the beauty of his holiness in heaven. It says holy holy holy is the lamb who was and is and is to come. Think about that. They throw12:04 their crowns down. They are undignified. They do not care. Like David said, he said to his wife, Michal, he who was appalled by how he was12:16 dancing around and worshiping the Lord, He walks up to her and he says, I will be more indignified than that. Because he knew who he was worshiping and so you know she may have had some selfish12:28 ambition about her life because she was worried about how people saw him. Appearance. But he was worried about what God saw because the Bible said even whenever, there in12:39 in referring it to that story it said that that man looks at the outside but God looks at the heart. Amen. And when we have a heart that will worship God, and and take ourselves, and push all of12:51 our ambitions aside, and say, what's on the agenda today Lord? Give me what you want me to do today. I worship you. I know you know everything, and13:03 I apart from you, I can do nothing anyway. So what in the world? I mean, what do we have to lose by starting our day out in praise and worship? It works. It13:15 does.13:15 Well, and and we don't know, you just and you probably never will know until you get to heaven, like, what your praise and worship has blocked or stopped. Like, you ever just think about that? Like, I know recently,13:28 my son and I were driving down a a a road. This is the craziest thing. And before we left, we were at my other son's house and we had just said a prayer. And I just prayed13:40 with everybody and we prayed for some some other things, but I also prayed a hedge of protection and all that. Mhmm. And in, you know, that God would, you know, be with us and the angels to surround us, protect us, keep13:51 us from any incidents, accidents, traumas, all these things. And we are driving and, you know, the Woodlands Parkway where we live is just very, very busy. And we're driving and it14:03 was green light, green light, green light. People were just booking through there. And all of a sudden, right right, like literally in an intersection, a car stops immediately. And everybody is you know, my14:15 son swerves out of the way. Like, what is going on? Like, you think it's a stalled car or something? And and he jumped out of the way because someone almost came into our back window, like, because it was so crazy. And14:26 that car whipped around the side and, like, it was I still can't we still can't believe that that car didn't hit us. It was so crazy. And the person who we thought had a stalled car got out of her14:38 car and picked up a turtle. She almost killed a whole bunch of people because she was trying to and God bless the turtle. We're not we're not saying she's We're not14:48 turtle bashing.14:48 But but I'm just saying, like that was just like you don't do that. Like like there's people who are just gonna, you know, don't see you slam on your brakes and they're coming because the green lights, you can see them14:59 ahead at time. Yes. And so it was a crazy thing. But when you think about things like that, like, so many times we were like, oh my gosh, we just prayed too for God to protect us. And you know, when you start to15:11 think, we don't even know the half of it, of what he has protected us from and spared us from and delivered us from all the time. But that's because you start your day with praise and worship and thanksgiving15:23 and asking him to cover you and all that concerns you in the blood of Jesus and to send angels to surround you And for him to just pour his spirit out on you and direct and order every step to give you wisdom and15:34 guidance and and all and and then put your armor on, your full armor of God. Just literally see yourself putting on that armor. And, you know, we have so many tools available to us. But15:46 in so many of those things, just by addressing God and by sitting with Him and by listening to His word, those those are forms of worship. That's worshiping Him.15:58 Because, because you're praying His word back, you're declaring His word like the armor of God.16:03 That's the sword. It says the sword, use the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. Right. And there's nothing. Like, I was reading in Hebrews this week, and it's my favorite. I love it.16:15 I love them all. Never mind. It it's 1 of my favorites along with the other books. But anyway, until yeah. Until the next time. I love them all. Alright. So Hebrews, right? Hebrews,16:26 God when you think about it, He could not lie. Don't you love that? That He could not swear against anyone greater. That's worshiping the16:38 God of of in in His holiness. Right? That He could not swear by anyone greater. So He swore by Himself. He made an oath and because He is a16:50 man that cannot lie. So think about when you're praying the word, you're praying something that is the complete and total truth. God is not a God17:02 that can lie. He is not a human. He is God Almighty. And if he said it in his word and we come into agreement with his word, we have yielded a sword17:14 and it cuts through everything. It cuts through the enemy's territories. It cuts through the problem and the muck and mire and it takes our feet out of the miry clay and17:26 it sets them on solid rock.17:27 Amen. Yep.17:28 And there is nothing greater than worshiping the Lord and praying and praising His word and we're gonna talk more about that when we come back. Amen.17:38 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. So go to my pillow dot com17:50 or call the number on your screen. Use your promo code to get our My Pillow bed sheets, only 29 88. Any color, any style, any size, even Kings.

So go to my pillow dot com or call the number on your screen. Use your promo code to get the best offers ever. Quantities are extremely limited, so18:37 order now.18:39 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle. And we're just talking about worship and, you know, it it's like, honestly, I just wanna stop and worship him. That's all because it's what I18:48 Next second.18:48 And honestly the nearest worship. Nobody wants to hear me sing. We're talking about those clanging symbols. Okay. So, you know, with his presence, you know, when you think about what his presence brings,19:00 his presence I wrote some things down. His presence when you when you when you praise him and he inhabits those praises like we said earlier, that's what the bible says. His presence brings love, it19:12 brings peace, kindness, joy, it brings restoration, it brings life, truth, security, faithfulness. You know, think about everything, all the names of19:24 God and everything that God is, you know, just every quality. Look behind us. The prince of peace, every single thing, you know, he's he's always with us, he will never leave us, you know, he's our19:36 healer, he's everything we need. And so, when he's inhabiting our praises, he comes with all that he is. With every single thing that that embodies his19:48 holiness. Every single, you know, like truth of who he is and what he can do is is with you because he's inhabiting those praises. And so what20:00 do you need? You know, do you need a healer? Do you need restoration? Do you need kindness or joy or peace or strength or love or rest restoration of any kind? He's there and he's got that. And and what20:12 will he not do for you? Because think about it. God did not withhold his only son from us. He sent him to die on a cross the most miserable, horrendous, and horrific death on the cross.20:23 Then why would he withhold your healing or the deliverance of your child or or all the other things that you might need right now? Because that would seem like those things are more important to God than his son.20:35 And that's not the case. So when God is through praise, just I know it might seem like you've been asking forever, and you you just you're you're worn out. And, you know, so just praise20:47 the Lord. Just get in some praise and just say, I don't know what you're doing, but you do, so I'm just gonna praise you in the midst of it all. In the midst of your trials, in the midst of your broken heart, you know,20:58 God's gonna restore that and and he he knows what you need and he's right there and he's got it. Just worship him through the midst of your trial, you know, in the middle of it all. Just call out to him. I21:10 mean, so many times when we are praying with and for 1 another, we always call it the tag team of trials sometimes, but 2 or more gathered trusting and believing, we'll we'll we'll talk21:22 about the situation, but then we totally get into total prayer, don't we? And we just and we'll even you know pray in the spirit some and and really just get our praise on and and tell them you know, thank you Lord.21:33 You're gonna do this. We know you've got this.21:35 Thank you in advance. You know, you can thank God in advance and it builds your faith. Thank God you know, thank God that I'm gonna I'm not gonna have cancer anymore. I'm21:47 gonna be completely healed and I'm gonna be you know doing this instead.22:03 Marriage or whatever it is. Like what is it that you need from God? Go to battle through through praise as warfare. And I think about you know22:15 so many times like when, whenever I was in college, you know, I think about that time as being a very tender time for me because, I I had lost22:27 my dad and then I I went off to college away from everybody and there were no cell phones and, and and and so I'm telling you, I would, I wore22:38 out cassette tapes because I had, I loved listening to praise music and I would listen to it so much in my car because it was like 30 minutes to school and 3022:50 minutes back. And, and I had a little Honda Prelude, they don't even make them anymore, but it was cute. And it it had a moon roof, and I loved that moon roof. And I would, be driving down the23:02 road with with my hand out, you know. I mean, I did not care what anybody thought of me. I just was just all in for God, and I just think about that like now. It's like when I feel my23:14 heart getting hard, I think about I need to go back to that. I need to go back to when I worshiped God all the time like that. That is what the Lord is looking for, and his presence was so strong, and I23:26 saw so many miracles. And, like, it it it's just there's nothing like worshiping the Lord.23:32 Yeah. Nothing. Because it it's almost like you get a breakthrough without even trying. Because even if nothing else has changed about your circumstance or your situation, the breakthrough comes23:44 with how you feel about it. Yeah. Because you all of a sudden through the worship, you'll feel a peace that you did not have before you started to worship. And when, you know, just just that's that's23:56 sometimes that's all we can do at the time, you know, because God's got the rest and we have to make sure we give it all to him. But just to have your body, your physicality changing24:07 from an anxious, fearful, sad, to to to just a peaceful, a peaceful, you know, you feel a peace that has come over you, replacing the anxiety and the fear24:19 because you've gotten into a place of worship with him and approached him on in his holiness at at his throne and asked him to just be present. Just come24:31 and be with me and let's fellowship together. Let's you know, that you would worship him in the midst of everything. Because I I don't you feel like I I know I would if I was God because,24:44 I feel like when when we come from those places of such such, like, dire circumstances or trauma or whatever, that I feel like he's so tender in that.24:56 Like, we of course, we wanna worship him every day no matter what's going on. If your everything's great in your life, worship the Lord. But I feel like he's very attentive.25:04 Yeah. Well he it does say he is. Yeah.25:07 To you know, because he's close Yeah. To the brokenhearted. To the brokenhearted. Yeah.25:10 And he will not harm a bruised reed.25:13 Yeah. And so, you know, God's got it and he's he's so right there with you. And again, he inhabits the praises of his people. You know, there's so many good scriptures about, you know, about worship and25:25 about praises. And and, you know, I just I just think about, you know, it says worship him in all ways. Always. Like just in every situation and in anything you can think of to worship him and praise him. I mean25:36 so over and over again the scriptures talk about that and and again Psalms. You know you know tons of Psalms. Well put25:43 on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. So if you're having heaviness and and sadness and sorrow, put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness and lift up your garment. To God.25:55 Think about just wrapping yourself in in in a garment of praise and and and and and felting it tight and just keeping it on. And it it's like put it on, physically see yourself putting it on, keeping it26:07 on and and and that almost like a level of protection from anything.26:12 Yeah. So you know when we talk about praise and prayer and and and Thanksgiving, we need to remember that we need to do it and and let's just do it right now. Let's let's go26:24 to the Lord and let's pray. So Father, right now we come to you. We thank you that you are God And we thank you that you are holy and magnificent and you can do all things. And26:36 Lord, we thank you that you said that you would be with us and you would envelop us when we praise you. And that's what we do right now, and we pray that people would feel your presence. Everyone who is watching or26:48 listening right now will feel your presence in the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. We love you guys. God bless you and thanks for watching. Love you.27:06 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:09 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:13 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:23 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.27:41 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:45 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:48 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science,27:53 and we believe in the existence of God.27:55 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.28:00 I never believed in God.
