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 the Lord seals us and what does that mean for us. It it you if you ever have seen1:07 in those old movies where they have like a letter and it's sealed with wax and then a seal on it, you know, when you have the seal of the Lord and you're sealed by him, you know, nothing1:19 can break that. Like, would clearly know once that envelope is open, that seal was broken. But when you're sealed by the Lord, nothing, absolutely nothing can break that seal. Amen.1:31 Sealed in the blood of Jesus. Amen. Such a it's and the and the Bible says that's a guarantee.1:36 Yeah.1:37 It's a guarantee we have.1:38 1 thing about a seal is that, you know, the bible says that we as Christians are sealed until the day of redemption. And,1:50 you know, sometimes you don't feel so sealed so to speak. Know, you're marked by God. Once you become a child of God, you are marked by2:02 God.2:03 Yes.2:03 And that makes you sealed until you cross the finish line in heaven. You know, I remember growing up, every Easter we would watch, even though my parents2:15 were not Christians yet, we would always watch the story of the Passover on TV and you know, they put the lamb's blood on the door. That2:27 was their mark. They were sealed and so therefore the night that the death angel passed over and killed all of the firstborn of the enemy, they2:40 Israelites were all good because they had that blood on that door. And when you are a born again child of God because of the blood of the lamb of God who is2:52 Jesus, you have been sealed by that blood. You are marked by that blood. That means the enemy can go a certain amount of distance but no further unless you3:03 somehow give him access. But you are sealed by the blood of Jesus. How powerful is that?3:11 It's a seal of approval. You don't have to earn it. You don't have to do 1 thing. You just We can't earn it. You just get to have that seal of approval which is the Holy3:23 Spirit living in you, never far away from you. God is there, he's with you, he will never leave you or forsake you when you are sealed in that covenant. Amen. Sealed, sealed,3:34 sealed, and approved and and sealed forever. Know, when my kids were little, you know, I always prayed the scripture all the time about the hedge Job. I got ahold of that 1 time that he3:46 he just has that hedge around him that is so big and powerful that the enemy complains about it. Yeah. I mean, and so we all get to have that. And I remember my kids when they were young,3:58 boys, I remember just thinking, can somebody just play on the ground today? Does anybody wanna color? We have some crayon. No. They had, you know,4:09 trampolines. They were jumping out of windows. They had they were in the they had zip lines. They were on the the windsurfing boards. They were rope swings. Like, you know, everything4:21 was just crazy. They built ramps with for their bikes, and and I just thought, just stay on the ground just today, just for a couple hours, sit there. Here's some Legos, you know. But I remember just4:33 praying over them, you know. It's like, you know, Lord, just put a hedge of protection around them that is so big the enemy complains about it, that they are sealed in the blood of Jesus4:45 Christ, and I would command that every weapon formed against them would would never prosper and it would amount to nothing. You know, so when we we know that we are sealed and and we4:57 know that we can pray the same promises and the same prayers that what what can come against us? Amen. No weapon. And that means none. That means even if it's something that you're self5:08 inflicting, you can also just declare freedom from all of that because that's what that seal means. When you belong to God, when you're sealed, you have everything that5:20 Bible says you can have. Every single promise is yes and amen for you. Isn't that just Yes. A good revelation to get a hold of? Mhmm.5:29 Well, know, in the old testament, they had signet rings and, you know, that was a seal of of the king or whoever was in authority and if you had that5:41 seal, basically you had their checkbook. Yeah. And you know, so we we the bible says you you will be a signet ring to the Lord. In other words,5:52 you're gonna have his seal on your life. What a privilege. Isn't that awesome? You know, I mean honestly, I cannot tell you how many times I have been encouraged6:04 by this scripture that we are sealed until the day of redemption because, you know, I've had some battles to fight in my family at different times and even now,6:16 and I'm still encouraged by that scripture because you know years ago and I've shared this before, I was on the floor in a heap crying about 1 of my children6:28 and I said, God, I need you to tell me that my family is sealed until the day of redemption and that you are leading me by your righteous right hand.6:40 Those 2 scriptures are absolutely not side by side. However, I asked the Lord for that and then when I went to the praise and worship service, it was a Wednesday night, sat in the back row6:52 because I had 0 makeup on, I looked like a mess because I had really been praying for for my children. And I tell you what, the Lord is good to me because we7:04 began to praise and worship. And you know what? When you're going through a hard time, don't really feel like praising and worship worshiping, but that's why the bible calls it a sacrifice of praise. And so you bring the7:14 sacrifice of praise whether you're feeling it or not, and God will bless you. And so, you know, you don't have to feel it. You you really don't have to feel God to worship God. You don't have to be in the mood.7:26 You can be going through a terrible crisis and yet you can praise God. And so I was praising and worshiping and I had my eyes closed and I didn't even realize this had happened on the platform.7:38 1 of our associate pastors came up from the audience and came up and grabbed the mic and he said that these words and I will never forget it and I have stood on it and I am still standing on it7:50 because I haven't seen completely the miracle. So here it is. He got up there and he said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He stopped the praise music. He said somebody has to hear this.8:02 This is a word from the Lord for you. He said, God is leading you by his righteous right hand and he is sealing your family until the day of8:13 redemption. Your family, that's not that's not what it says. It says he's sealing you, but I asked God that day and he hears you when you don't feel it. He hears you. You're still8:25 sealed whether you feel it or not. Your kids are still sealed whether they act like it or not. You they are sealed. They are marked by God. In Jesus8:36 name, just trust that God is still with you. He's still for you and you are sealed until the day of redemption and when we come back, we'll talk more about that.8:47 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus and is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. To see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.8:59 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States. The Bible says that when we help the least, the forgotten, and the9:11 overlooked, we have done something for Jesus himself. Will you be a part of what God is doing to help those in need and those who are hungering to hear the real message of Jesus.

You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about what it means to be sealed, sealed in the Lord. And, you know, I got a hold of this scripture recently, and it's something I10:01 had never really seen before or paid paid attention to. You know Noah and his ark and you know he was he was Noah and10:10 his ark. It's so casually. Well, you10:13 know it's just like an amazing story. But you know It is. God gave him all the directions and the cubits and the perfect architecture to build the whole perfect ark, and he had the, you know, the10:23 hear from God like that?10:24 He had the excellent gopher wood. You know, we just think that it's all it's all like the Gopher wood. Like, you know, that that's the reason that the ark was so successful10:36 in the flood with all the animals and everything else. But listen to this. It says that it says that in in Genesis 7 16 it says the animals going in were male10:48 and female of every live of every living kind and God commanded Noah to bring them all in and then God himself sealed him in. God sealed him in11:00 that ark because you ever think about it like once the door closed like there had to be some kind of crack or seal. They didn't have like rubber and all that stuff like you think about it. But God sealed11:12 him in that ark. And so, you know, whatever we're going through today, God can seal you in his blood of Jesus and seal you in his covenant and11:24 seal you and protect you and guide you in in all of the things you need. And I I just thought that was such a it just kinda stood out to me that, you know, it wasn't just about all of the11:35 amazing directions that that that Noah took warning and heed and listened and obeyed and did and built and struggled and sacrificed and was11:47 ridiculed and persecuted and made fun of to build this ark. But God was so gentle and caring for him that even after he did all of that, then he gently sealed him in.11:59 So when God's hand is sealing you and protecting you, you're vacuum packed. Did you ever get that little food saver? Like We have 1. That you when you put that thing in there, it sucks12:11 out everything. You are so sealed that there's not a drop of air. When God seals you, there's not 1 speck of anything that can hurt you or harm you. What can touch you when you are12:23 sealed by the blood of Jesus? Don't you just love that that that God sealed him in? I don't know why that stood out to me in a whole different way when I saw that because you never really thought about how12:35 he got in there and just closed the door. Well, when you think about it,12:39 like for today, you know, I believe we're in the end times, we've talked about that in other programs, but here's the thing, we are still sealed.12:50 Yes.12:50 And and and so just like Noah, we can be sealed against apostasy, like away from it, sealed tight by the power of the holy spirit13:02 against apostasy, against heresy, against all of these errors in the church, you know, that we're hearing now. More and more we have seeker13:14 friendly churches, we have churches that never talk about hell, we have the the this is almost like a lying spirit that's within the body of believers because believers13:25 have, you know, some have itchy ears. Yeah. They do not wanna be corrected by the word. They do not want to be they only want the messages of13:37 hope and not the messages that say get right with God, repent, get this right or get that right. Know, they're not allowing the word to rightly divide their lives in13:49 truth. Yeah. And so we can be sealed from the end time. I'm not saying you're not gonna experience it experience it, but you can be14:00 sealed just like Noah from all of that apostasy, all of that you know, at the end we're gonna be persecuted and we14:12 have to know that you know our very own people that we've been in church with for years, that we've been in fellowship with for years are gonna say things that are in error.14:24 They're they're against the bible that's why we say almost in every single 1 of our Grace Grace episodes, know the word for yourself. The word14:36 is gonna keep you and seal you because you are marked by God but part of your protection is to know the word. Yeah. That's part of your14:47 seal is the word.14:48 And even the word seal, you know, means impermeable. And I love that. I mean, we're impermeable.14:56 And you know,14:57 if you you know, I always, you know, like, let's get a word picture because sometimes you remember that stuff, but he's pictured like a ziplock. You know, it is zip tight. You are in there. Think about that. Like,15:09 you're, like, in that God seal bubble impermeable to what the enemy wants to do in your life. You know, he has no license over you. He15:21 has no authority over you. When you are sealed in the blood of Jesus, you are impermeable to his tactics and his schemes. You know, the devil wants us to15:32 meet him on his playing field, but you are high and lifted up. You are seated with Jesus. With your stamp of approval, you are sealed. You are sitting there in the15:44 throne room of grace with Jesus next to our almighty father. Jesus is interceding for you. You are high and lifted up. The devil wants to bring you down to his playing15:56 field because he can't go to the heavenly places. He can't come up higher. He was already thrown out of there. And so if you are letting the devil wreak havoc in your life by16:08 getting into an agreement when you're just walking in all kinds of misery right now, maybe you're just having a thing after thing, you need to remember where you are and that he's just a footstool under your feet and16:20 you just remember that you are sealed. You get back in your place. I always ask the Lord that my kids would be so on the straight and narrow path that they can't look to the left or to the right, but they're16:32 sealed. Their feet are sealed on God's path. And I always say, send an angel to just yank them by the collar and grab them back if they so much as have a toe that walks off that path.16:44 And so we when we can talk like that and get a word picture and a vision that your kids are sealed, that you're sealed, that nothing can break that seal. It's impermeable. And16:55 really decide that that's for you and that's where you get to stay. That's where the Psalm 91 covering is. That's where the angels are. That's where everything is. That's17:07 where everything you need to stay there, to fight, and to be blessed in that seal. Amen. Amen. I love that.17:15 And and we are sealed by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is an absolute guarantee that when we walk in the spirit that we have17:27 special protection, special a special ceiling. An anointing. We are blocked out from certain things because the enemy can only go as far as either we17:39 have allowed or or the Lord through Job Yes. Has allowed. You know, he can he can go this far and no further, but we'll talk more about that when we come back.17:49 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. To see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.18:01 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States. The Bible says that when we help the least, the forgotten, and the18:12 overlooked, we have done something for Jesus himself.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission18:47 today. Give now.18:50 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Nina Michelle. We are talking about being sealed by God. You know, I recently sat down at lunch with a lady,19:02 and she talked about how when she was in her youth group, her youth pastor had been you know doing hot dog you know19:14 events and pizza events and skating events and he said finally the Lord convicted him and he said look, you can either obey me or you can19:25 continue to do all of this because you only have these young people for a certain amount of time every week. And and and so this youth pastor said,19:37 okay, no matter what, even if I lose people, I'm gonna obey God being sealed, right, being marked. So he began to call on the Lord and he said, look, we're we're19:49 we're we're we'll have this sometime but really what we're gonna do is when you come in here, we're gonna see what God can do. I'm gonna teach you to storm heaven. I'm gonna teach you to20:00 to rightly divide the word in truth. I'm gonna teach you how to live out these principles. And so they lost all but 6 kids and they had a pretty big youth group. That's how popular it was20:12 at first. But then when the holy spirit began to be activated in those 6, it grew and it grew. And that young lady that I was having lunch with that day20:24 said that every single 1 of those kids in that youth group, she said it was as if they were marked, they were sealed by God because about20:36 the obedience to the word of God, because of the obedience to pray, the obedience to pray, the obedience to walk out the word of God and not just whatever they wanted to and20:48 live like the world and you know, have a form of godliness but deny the power. They learned about the power of God and how to activate the power of God to see miracles and now they serve God20:59 not just a little bit, they serve God mightily.21:03 Yeah.21:03 And that is what that's the kind of Christian I wanna be. I wanna be the kind of Christian that is sealed, marked, that anybody who sees me, I don't care if they like me or not. Jesus, I'm marked21:15 by Jesus. I am marked by the blood. I'm marked by the seal of redemption and that means that I'm gonna have victory no matter what it looks like on the earth at this point.21:26 Jesus seals his people and there's hope. Right? And when you21:32 declare the word of God, there's nothing that can stop what what the his promises are yes and amen. And you know, when you are sealed, that means your whole21:44 body, your whole person, your whole thinking, everything, it is coming into an agreement with the scriptures. Comes into an absolute covenant, an agreement,21:56 signed, sealed, delivered. It is a covenant. It is like a marriage agreement. It is like any kind of seal. It's like a business deal. It's an agreement that is signed that you cannot go back on. You are22:08 done. You are sealed. And now you get to walk in what that whole covenant says as that is yours. You're sealed with along22:20 with that covenant. Do you know that God will usually repeat things? He will say verily verily. He will say it more than once in his word, but that means he will also confirm it for you. Over and over again, he22:32 will let you know that you're sealed. And there's a scripture here that says, you know, when we we were saying that we are sealed for the day of redemption, but you know before that, in the same scripture, this is in22:43 Ephesians, it says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God. Amen. Because the Holy Spirit living as you in you is the covenant of what God's promise sent to22:55 you after you were saved. Now you have that seal. You have the Holy Spirit living in you, so do not grieve him. If he's living in your body and your body is doing all kinds of23:07 crazy things and you're you're you're, you know, walking and you're not walking in holiness, but you're there's, you know, there's, you know, you're walking in in sin of all kinds. How does that holy spirit23:19 feel living in that vessel? So are you are you honoring your part of the contract? You know, you don't have to get good to get God. God23:31 sends the Holy Spirit. Now you are you are translated from the darkness into his marvelous light. You are a new creation, But we want to obey God. We want to23:43 do our best because that's where the blessings are. That's how we don't break the seal. That's how we don't let a little crack in. That is how the devil doesn't get a foothold. And so23:55 we not we need to stay sealed and trust him because we were sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. That's what it says in Ephesians 1 13. Amen. I love that. Yes.24:06 Well, let's pray. Let's pray that that the Lord is going to mark you and seal you24:13 Yes. Until the day of redemption. Amen.24:15 Lord, we thank you that we are honored that we have the option to be marked by you and we ask you for your divine mark, Lord. We ask you for24:26 the for the divine redemption that you talk about in your word, Lord. We are bought with a price and that price was the cross. And so God, I pray Lord that that24:38 all over the world that anyone who does not know you will will make you Lord of their life, that they will know that you died on that cross and that you were raised from the dead for their sins and for their24:50 redemption so that they today could be sealed until the day of redemption. So right now, mark people all over the world, God, by your grace, they are marked and from this25:02 day forward, they will live a different life because of that mark.25:05 In Jesus name, amen. Just remember anybody who sees you, you're saved, you are sealed, that they would see, just pray that they would see God's seal on you. His25:17 stamp of approval, he he approves. God loves you. Amen. And we are so grateful for all of your our viewers and all the love and encouragement that we see from the comments that you leave us on social25:28 media.

So we love you and we love you.26:41 God bless.26:42 Does science disprove God? Is there a26:45 war between science and faith?26:47 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God and it's irrational. Is there no evidence for God? Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore26:59 reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.27:03 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:06 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:11 If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:21 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.27:39 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming. Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable. We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we27:50 believe in the existence of God. I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:58 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, man. The28:10 appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:16 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:22 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to audio f dot org or find us on Facebook at audio f events.
