God Is Bound to His Word 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 something that I think is really important, and it's it's the fact. It's a word of God that says, god has an oath1:08 and a promise, and he binds himself to that oath. He has an oath and a promise and binds himself to his word. Isn't that amazing? Think about that. I love that. Because1:20 think about being bound to something. Think about that word and what that means. Like, you're attached, you're you're you're just you you can't get away. You're bound. You're bound. And that he's1:31 bound and chained and secured to his word, and that means nothing can break him free from that. He promises. It's an oath. It's a promise,1:43 and he is gonna make sure it happens because he's bound to it. And when if you think about if you ever made an oath or a decree or a promise, that's binding. Think about1:55 a marriage, the oath, the the vows that you've made, it binds. It binds you to that other person. You're bound in holy matrimony. You're bound to them. That is you you cannot like,2:07 the only thing that breaks that is just is just a a horrible divorce. It's a it's it's it's an oath that you took. But god is is so involved in what2:19 he said in his oath and his promise that nothing nothing can break that oath. Nothing can break his binding promise. And and just think about that. Think about what all that means. Do you know what that means?2:31 Every promise in the bible, every word of god's bible, his truth, his word, He's bound to watch over it. He's bound to make it happen. He's bound to it. And I love that. I could just talk about2:43 that all day because it's so astonishing to me.2:46 I love it. And I think about Abraham. You know, The Bible says that Abraham believed God's word. And it was credited to him as righteousness. He amened God.2:58 And and we need to do the same with knowing that what God said that he is bound to his word. And that he made an oath and because there was no 1 greater to3:10 swear by he swore by himself. I love that. He's bound to his word. He's not a man that he can lie. God cannot lie. So when you3:22 read his word, you're not just reading any old book. You're reading a word the Bible says that will read you. You're reading a word that becomes a reflection of who you are. It's3:34 the only word that reads you, and and it's the only book that is like a mirror. When you look in it, you can find out things that you did not know about yourself, that you did3:46 not see, that that that because God's word is so true it I mean it we it will begin to speak back to you and convict you of3:57 things you hadn't even thought of yet because He is bound to His word and He speaks through His word. If you want to hear from God people say well what does God4:09 say? Read His word. He's now He will talk, but it always lines up to with his word. He never tells you old dump dumple, you know, so and4:21 so and and go marry this 1 in the church because she seems holier. God never says stuff like that because you know why? Because he's bound to his word, and he does not walk outside of his word. And I've had people come4:32 up to me and tell me, you know, that God said this or whatever. You know what?4:37 We just put that on the show.4:39 I remember 1 time whenever Nina was on the dating scene after her divorce, there was a man who said, God said you're supposed to marry me. And I said, God did not say that, Nina. Because if4:49 God had4:50 said that, then he would have told you.4:53 I told him that. It was like this guy goes, you know, the Lord said you're gonna be my wife. And I go, I think he would have cued me in on this.4:59 It would've been hard. Maybe wanna kiss you.5:01 No. That's probably no. I would say no to all of that. Bye. But you gotta be so careful. But, you know, the Lord you know, think about have you ever been hurt by somebody who did not keep a5:13 promise in your life? I mean, I know I have. And, you know, that's so important, like, especially with children, like, even, you know, my son, and daughter-in-law, they have a 2 year old, they have 1 on the way, and5:25 I always say, I always say, you know, say what you mean and mean what you say. And I know with with my little 2 year old when he's over, I I if I promise we're gonna go5:37 somewhere that day, or and I always will say, like, even if it's something like we're gonna go swimming, I'll say, but unless it rains, you know, you always you know, so that he's not over there, you said, and it's5:47 thundering outside, you know, with within reason. But always, always keep your promises. Say things and make promises that you can keep, because that's how you trust.6:00 You know, when somebody is trustworthy, they're promise keepers, they're keeping their promise to you, they're gonna honor what they say, and then you can believe what they say, and that's what God is doing. He6:12 wants us to believe every word that is true in his Bible. So he says, he even gave that word, that he binds himself to his own word and his promises, that he keeps his promises. He's not up there going,6:24 I so wish I wouldn't have said that. That is a big, my bad. I this is not I I wish I could do a a mulligan do over in this Bible. That I'd I would wipe that6:36 promise out. What was I thinking? I had a bad day. No. He is every word is alive and it's it's there's nothing new under the sun. It's alive. It meant the same thing6:48 2000 years ago as it does today because God, the word is life, it's breath, it's living, and it's whatever you need. I promise you, you can find a promise in7:00 that Bible that backs up what you need, that you could pray over your circumstance and over your need, and God has bound himself to that promise. And if you keep on it, you7:12 keep believing, you don't speak against it, you don't speak the opposite, you don't speak the circumstance, you're gonna see him honor his promise. That's how he is. He cannot be any other way. He is not a7:24 God that should lie.7:25 I love that. And you know, I mean, I was raised in the most dysfunctional family. It I mean, I knew my parents loved me, but it was very dysfunctional.7:35 It put the fun in dysfunctional. The fun7:36 and dysfunctional. But let me just say that I'm grateful that my parents, when they said something, I could take it to the bank. I7:48 mean, if my daddy said I could have something, it was on. It was gonna show up at the door. I mean it was happening. And so7:58 That's true. I am grateful.7:59 That's pre Amazon. That's right. It's true. I'm so thankful because if I would have learned not to trust my parents, you know, I mean, I'm not I mean, I have told you guys, you8:11 know, that, you know, my dad was an alcoholic. He died at 40 from the DTs. I mean, it was very dysfunctional, but I grew up with your word is your bond8:23 and if you say something you better make it happen. And you know I mean and now it's it's pretty easy for me to believe the word. It's easy for me to see to see something in the word and8:35 to think thank you, Lord. I'm gonna get it. And so8:39 Okay. I'm exhausted. It's I haven't you know, it's hard for me to trust. We're very opposite in those ways, and I think that helps. We offset each other in that way, but I didn't grow up hearing a kind8:51 word or a word or a trustworthy word or something, or I could not even trust my own family, my own parents. And and, so thankfully, I got to go live with my grandmother at 12 o'clock, and she kept her word and kept9:03 her promises. But to that to this day, you know, I still have this little, like, little trust, like I have to I have to really work on that. Mhmm. Because, you know, we have to build9:15 foundations and learn to trust people in any any, you know, new something in your life, any new person, any new situation, you know, you have to trust God with everything. And and9:27 I do believe that God allowed some certain situations in my life that were not pleasant at all so that I would learn to trust him, because those things can change everything. When you see him work in your9:38 life in a way that you know was him, because sometimes I think, how am I even standing here? Like, some of my my testimonies and some of the things that we've both been through. But, you know, when you the more9:51 that you lean on him, the more you trust him, the more faithful he is. And Amen. We're gonna talk more about that when we come right back. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.10:00 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus.

Today we are talking about God is bound to his word. That's my favorite subject is the word of God. I mean honestly,11:15 I love talking about the word of God. I love the scripture that says thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light into my path. How many times in this world have I heard or11:27 have I needed God to show me what to do? Do you do you ask God that all the time? You know what what do you want me to do Lord? Tell me what you want me to do. I don't know what to do. I always say in my11:39 bowl you know the Bible says that God always keeps your prayers in a bowl. He never lets it go. You're never wasting time when you're praying because God's keeping this active bowl of prayers in heaven. I don't11:50 understand it but God's word says it so I know I have a bowl and a lot of a lot of my prayers I can11:56 build a truck. I don't know11:59 what to do. Tell me what to do. I don't know what to do. You know I mean honestly in his word says, his word is a lamp into my feet and a light into my path, and so I am so grateful for12:11 that. I'm also grateful that the Bible says in Hebrews 4 12, for the word of God is living and active, sharper than any 2 edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and12:22 spirit, of joints, of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Oh my goodness, this is God's word. How amazing. I mean12:34 we're talking joints and marrow, discerning thoughts, intentions of the heart. I mean, God's word will pierce you. There's nothing like God's word. Nothing.12:44 And, you know, think about he sends forth his word and he heals us. He spoke and everything was created. 1 word. 1 word. He spoke it and let it be,12:56 and it happened. Each thing happened, and it was perfect. And, you know, so many people will say, oh, we were an afterthought because we were last. No. He created everything with the anticipation that we13:08 would need those things, that that we would need the sun and the and the water and the earth and the animals and and the oxygen, and every single thing was made to perfection. And before we13:20 ever lived a day Amen. God took care of us. And you you ever notice how all of these things have completely replenished for the 7, 8000000000 people that13:32 are on the earth? And God has always taken care of everything. He has always pre planned and made sure and honored and took care of his promises. And so, you know, you just stop and13:44 say, what do you need? But the antithesis of that is, you know, God honors his word. He will take care of his promises. He answers his plan, but he's not always just when we need it. He's13:56 not an insta god. But did you ever know who's always in a hurry? The devil. He's always like, now, now, do it now, I need it now, I want it now, I have to, you know, get it now, you have to do it now, or make this14:07 decision now, jump out there now, do it now. He doesn't want you to stop, to take press that pause button, take that time with the Lord to really seek what God's saying about this. You know,14:19 maybe it's okay for you to do, but not now. Maybe it's God's timing isn't right. You know, you have to pause, but the devil's gonna want you to hurry up and rush and make this big huge decision or get something done and14:29 so that maybe you'll fall on your face or you you made the wrong choice. And, you know, we can always go back and start over and god will give us over and over when we repent, he'll let us redo and but you know what? How14:40 much time have we wasted doing those things if we had just listened to God? The Bible says in Jeremiah 33 3, it says it says, call to me. Call to him, and I will14:52 show you great and mighty things you do not know. Oh my goodness, like, oh, we call to him, Lord, show me what I need to know about this situation. There's nothing there's15:04 nothing hidden that he won't reveal. His word says that. He will he will reveal every all the hidden things, all the things that we need to know. And so when you need to know something, like15:16 maybe you're confused about a situation in your marriage or at work or whatever, and you could say, god, show me what's really going on. Can you reveal to me, show me what what I need to do? Show me what's happening, and15:28 ask him for his word. Get in his presence. There is nothing that he doesn't have the answer to. There's nothing that he can't change. There's no rule, regulation, or policy that he that he can't change on15:39 your behalf when you listen to him and honor him. God is is is it causes all things to to work together for your good. That's all things. So whatever judgment,15:51 whatever policy, whatever plan, whatever argument, whatever naysayer, whatever lie, whatever is coming against you at whatever time, God can take care of that because he's faithful to his word. And he we are16:03 overcomers by our words, by speaking his word, by our word that we have seen his faithfulness. And once you know he's done it before, he will do it again and again and16:15 again and again because he's so faithful.16:17 He is so faithful.16:18 And he always honors his word when you speak it back to him. It's just so awesome to hear and see when you get in his word and go, okay, this is what I need. And do you ever see how specific his word is too? Like,16:30 you can literally literally, I had a situation about about selling a house 1 time, and there was a scripture about it. Like, you know, there's a scripture about everything16:42 that you need. Everything. If you really just started to Google, Google or any of the search engines, get in a good Bible app even, and just plug in. I need scriptures about faith. I need scriptures about16:54 selling property. I need scriptures about, you know, you know, overcoming an argument or or, you know, discord at work. Whatever it is and you're gonna find scriptures about it. And he's bound to those promises. IThe Living Word That Guides and Heals 17:06 love that.17:07 I I remember 1 time I I used to have a a heart a heart condition and I feel much better now than I did 20 years ago. And I remember the Lord. I was like, god, am I17:18 gonna die? Am I I mean, it's a it's a real question when you're when you're sick. And I got this scripture about you're gonna be like an olive tree, and I was like what does that mean an olive tree? I don't know.17:30 So I started searching and olive trees live a long time. And so I was like yes.17:35 Like the Garden of Gethsemane.17:36 I'm gonna live. I'm not gonna die. I'm gonna declare the works of the Lord, and I am completely healed. So he's faithful to his word. We'll be back in just a minute.17:46 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus, and that is the mission of Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, to see people's lives change with the saving power of Jesus Christ.17:58 When you donate to Grace Grace ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission today.18:45 Give now.18:48 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We're talking about how god binds himself to his word with an oath and a promise. There's nothing better than that. You know, when the Bible says, as Jesus is,19:00 so are we in the world. Like, that's an oath. That's a promise. We get to be like Jesus in the world. Isn't that amazing? Think about that. It says, so all the things that Jesus did, we19:12 get to do. We get to we get to do greater things than he did, the Bible said, because Jesus is sitting at the right hand of his father, interceding on our behalf. Like, think about19:24 Jesus is sitting there praying for you to his father for whatever it is you need. And he's never too busy. He's never caught off guard. He knows your needs before you even need it. So19:36 again, as Jesus is, so are you in the world. And I I love that. You know that God can put you where other people don't think you belong. God can infiltrate the infiltrators.19:47 God can get in there and hear the conversations that are going on about you, and he can give you redemption over that and victory and vengeance is his. He can restore the years the19:59 canker worms have eaten. He can give you the years back that that you were walking in ill health or that you had a bad marriage. He can cause all things, all those things that20:11 the devil meant for harm. God can and will use it for good because he said it. That's in his word. In Romans 8 verses 28, he said that he what the devil has meant for harm, God will use20:23 for his glory and his good in your life. I don't know how many times I say, I don't know how you're gonna use this for good, but you said it. So I thank you that good is coming. This will be powerful. This will bless20:34 you, this will glorify you in the end, and that you're gonna be glorified in whatever you're gonna do in this situation. And when we can learn and know and speak his word over any and all20:46 circumstances, knowing he's bound to his word and his oath and his promise to be faithful, to to give you the victory, give you the the the breakthrough,20:58 to deliver you, whatever it is that you need, then you can pray those prayers with a different attitude. You can pray it from a place of it's already mine, not I've gotta beg him21:10 to do something. I already have the victory in Christ. The victory already belongs to me because Jesus has already won and fought that battle. That's in his word, so we can take it to the21:22 bank. He watches over his word to perform it, and it's true for you no matter what you need. And don't you just love that? You just know. It's like you've you've come from a different place. You're21:34 not in there begging like a child that, like, that doesn't have any shoes or food. He's saying, it's all yours.21:42 Mhmm.21:42 Just ask me. Come to that place. I won this battle for you.21:46 Amen. I love that. I I love, Dave Wilkerson. I don't know if21:51 you remember him. Yes.21:52 David Wilkerson. He was hardcore, and I loved him. And he was prophetic, and his prophecies were true Yeah. And just a man of integrity. But he talked about something.22:04 He said if you ever get a hold of something called binding precedent when you pray, you'll never pray the same again. And and an example of that is, Jehoshaphat, king22:16 Jehoshaphat. He was, you know, facing an invasive army, and the king began to cry out to the Lord based on what God had bound himself22:27 to in his word. And he says, it says that the people prayed, they fasted, they interceded, they repented, and they and the king brought God's precedent22:39 mercies up before him. And I'm just going to read what Jehoshaphat prayed because I can't say it any better than this. Oh Lord God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? Do22:51 you not rule over all kingdoms of the nations? And in your hand is there not power and might, so that no 1 is able to withstand you? Jehoshaphat was23:03 binding God to his past mercies, but then he's- and he- and Jehoshaphat went on and he reminded God, Lord you gave your people an eternal word and bring it- and we bring it23:14 before you now. The promises you made to Abraham and our fathers are still binding on you to fulfill for us. What God did23:26 for Abraham, God will do for you. What God did for Jehoshaphat, which was an amazing miracle of God because God sent out the choir. He didn't send out SEAL Team23:38 6. He sent out he sent out the choir, and they praised the Lord. And the Bible says that it set ambushments against the enemy and defeated23:50 Jehoshaphat's way more powerful army that was coming against him. God is bound to his word, and we can still claim that today because God is no respecter of persons.24:03 Drop the mic.24:04 Well, and it's true. And it says in Hebrews 6 1, it says, so let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again and again. I mean, sometimes it it's like24:16 we need to stop, we need to trust, we need to know his word, we need to speak the word. Let's not go over this basic stuff. Let's go back and go, what did God say? I know24:28 this is going on in my life, but what did God say? We're not gonna go back to worry town, speak the the, you know, the the the evil, speak the problem, speak the chaos. We're going back. Okay. We're24:40 we're we have to at some point, we are maturing in him and in his word, and when we stop going back over those basic things, knowing that God has anchored and and24:52 and and bound himself to his word and his promises, and that that is for us today, then that can break the yoke of bondage in your life. So25:04 we're gonna pray about this right now. Amen.25:06 Lord, we thank you. We thank you that your word is true and forever settled in heaven, and not 1 tittle of it will ever pass away. We thank you God that we we pray for everyone in this25:18 audience that needs a healing to be healed because your word says you are the God that heals us. We thank you for salvations God because you said believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. You and your25:30 household. And Lord we thank you God for your word. That your word is is is sharper than any 2 edged sword, and you God are beginning to25:42 speak into the lives of each person who is praying with us now, and we love you, and we praise you in Jesus name.25:51 Amen.
