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 Humphries.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast. Today we're so glad you joined us. Today we want to remind you all that God is ever present in times of trouble. He is1:07 never not where you are. Isn't that so cool to think about? When you think about that he guides us with his righteous right hand, I mean how close does he have to be to do1:19 that? Like he's with you. He's always with you. He will never ever ever leave you or forsake you. And we have to remember that when we are in those times of trouble because it's1:31 not an if, it's a when. They are coming. So many people are struggling and going through such tough times right now, but God is there. He's in the storms, and when we just stick close to1:43 him and trust him that he's gonna help us through that. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God sees us through them all. He we there is a first day and a1:55 last day to every trial, but God is there every day, every single day. Isn't that comforting? It just gives you such peace, you know.2:03 Exactly. Well, you know, there's never a holiday, you know the holidays are coming up, but there's never a holiday from spiritual warfare, never. There's2:15 always, you know, there's in this world you will have trouble. That's what the bible says.2:22 But take heart.2:23 You never hear sermons about that hardly at all that you're gonna have trouble or suffering or all of these things, but there is2:35 a comfort in knowing that if you put on the full armor of God that you can defeat the enemy no matter how strong that trouble is, right?2:47 Amazing.2:48 God says in his words 79 times, 79 times that he is always here for us, that he will never leave us, that he's with us in times of trouble, and so many other variations of that.3:00 But how much is that a reminder that he wants us to know? You know, the bible says fear not. I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I3:12 will strengthen you. I will help you. I will be with you in times of trouble, and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I mean, God cannot even say it more3:23 clearer than that.3:25 Well, that has been something that the Lord, that is like a you know how you have those scriptures, they're your life scriptures, you know, that is 1 of them. And almost every time I hear that3:36 scripture, I get a little afraid because I know that I'm probably about to go through a trial. Someone sent me that about, I don't know, 3 weeks ago and I said, oh no,3:48 get ready. It says, do not be dismayed because I am leading you by my righteous right hand. That means you may be going through trouble, but God is gonna lead you through that trouble.4:00 And that's the issue is that you've gotta know that whether you you feel it or whether you don't, God is leading you by his righteous right hand. I cannot tell you how many times4:12 I say in a day, God, I4:14 need you.4:15 I I trust you. I am believing that you're leading me. You know, you don't always get like, I'm not maybe some people are, I don't know. But I I feel like we're4:27 being stretched in our faith all the time. And and if if we could instantly hear like Adam and Eve, probably, you you know, the the Bible says that they walked with God. They had him in the4:39 garden. If we could hear like they heard, it would things would be different, but we live in a fallen world. Thank you, Adam and Eve. But we forgive you and4:50 That act must have been good.4:52 Well, it's the knowledge of good and evil. So, you know, we we don't need to think our thoughts don't need to be on evil.5:00 Yeah. Right? Mhmm.5:01 But but God is able to get us out of trouble, and he really is there. Have you ever just been miserable and then all of a sudden there's5:13 just this comfort that comes on you and you know that it has to be from him because there's no other way. Nothing has changed in your situation, but all of a sudden you feel5:25 peace. He's the comfort. Spirit. That's him being ever present in a time of trouble.5:30 It's because God doesn't stop being God because we have a problem. Like, everybody's like, oh, God. I'm praying and I'm like this and that. You know, reading the word, having this and and then you have a problem and it's5:42 like, oh, no. Oh, my gosh. It's like he hasn't changed. You've changed, and it's all about perspective, and, you know, seeing things from God's perspective and his point of view, and I I have5:54 you ever heard that story about the wolves? There's there was these 2 hunters, and they heard that if you go to Alaska because there were such an overpopulation of wolves6:06 that they were going to pay 5000 dollars per wolf to to be hunted because they were just destroying everything. And so these 2 friends, they decide they're going to Alaska and they're just6:17 gonna kill all these wolves and they're gonna just, you know, gonna gonna make all this money, 5000 a wolf. So they get to to the place in Alaska and they pitch their tents and they go to sleep at night6:29 and 1 guy wakes up and he hears all these noises and he looks up and the whole entire tent is just surrounded by wolves like tons6:41 and tons of wolves. So he yells into the next tent, he's like, Bob wake up wake up wake up. And Bob goes, what what what's going on? And he goes, look out look out. And6:53 Bob goes looks out and goes, we're rich. So so the guy who was all worried thinking he's gonna get all eaten by a wolf, the other guy's like looking at it in a whole different way. We're rich.7:05 Like, you know, start like, there we go.7:07 All a matter of perspective.7:08 And so we have to put things in perspective and understand how powerful God is, and he is for us. And the bible says if he's for us,7:20 who would dare be against us? And the scripture also says that no weapon, none, not 1 weapon formed against you shall ever prosper. And if he even7:32 knows and counts the hairs on your head, then won't he take care of the big things? He loves and takes care of the sparrows. And so we have to remember how big our God is7:43 and how capable he is. And when we call on his name, you know, if if you know the names of God, the great I am, if if you7:55 really had a scripture for everything God is, it would fill 300 Bibles. But I like to say that God is here. That's what he is. He's always here for everything that you8:07 might be going8:08 through. Amen. You know,8:10 he's never not gonna be where we are. Isn't that so comforting? Exactly.8:13 And talking about your wolf story, you know, when we were in Alaska, there were bears everywhere. There really were. There were bears everywhere.8:21 Bear spray.8:21 There were bears. Just bears everywhere. In fact, we got out at this park, and the guy was like, just ignore the bears. I'm like, yeah, no. All you did was like I'm not ignoring8:30 a bear. Sorry. To run faster than somebody else. Exactly.8:36 But God was with us and we survived it, and we are gonna be back in just a minute.8:41 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus.

Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission9:40 today. Give now.9:43 Welcome back to Grace Grace with 9 and Michelle. We're talking about God is an ever present help in times of trouble. And and we just you know, when we're going through trouble, we need a9:55 strategy from God. There's nothing like it. I mean, honestly, if you get before the Lord no matter what is happening, I don't care what it is, I mean I remember10:07 when a person that I knew was having cold feet about getting married and I thought, is there gonna be a wedding or is there not?10:19 And so I was like, Lord, you know, just help this person to know what to do, show us, give us something in your word to stand on so that we know. And the10:31 Lord gave me a scripture and it just popped out like just like the word does and it said, there will be singing and dancing in the house of the righteous. Amen. And it just10:43 was a case of cold feet and so, you know, and that's exactly what happened, you know, that that this person realized that, you know, they were just nervous about the actual act of10:55 getting married, it is a big deal, but God is with us. I don't care if it's something like that, you know. He is always with us in times of trouble, and to me the best thing is just to get11:07 in his word or get, just say, God, give me your perspective. Show me the strategy for how in the world I'm gonna get out of this trouble. Many are the afflictions of11:19 the righteous, but the Lord delivers us from them all. This will pass. Whatever trouble you're in will pass. Even if it ends in you going11:31 to heaven, someone you know going to heaven, it will pass. You will heal. God, there's a time to be born, a time to die. We believe that God can raise11:42 a Lazarus from the dead. We believe that can happen today. Know, so we always have hope and and so even if we've been disappointed in the result11:55 of something that we prayed about when we were in trouble, know that God is still faithful, he's still on the throne and he's still ordering your steps and he's still right there with you.12:06 Yeah. Faith is always just clinging into him and walking with him and and and knowing he's with you in your greatest fear. And have you ever heard the saying that if you12:18 only walk on sunny days, you're never gonna get very far? Meaning that, you know, we can't always just serve the Lord when everything's great, and then forget who he is when we're having our rainy12:30 days. You know, we have to just remember that he's always with us, and do you know that God cares way more about your problem than you ever could because he knows the whole story, he knows the12:42 backstory, he knows the future of it, he knows everything and he is never surprised. Not anything that you're going through. The troubles that afflict you and what you're going through is never12:54 a surprise to God. It's not like he's going, oh, didn't see that 1 coming. What are we gonna do? No. He's so there. And, you know, I love the story of the woman with the issue of the blood,13:06 and she did not care. She didn't care that that that she wasn't supposed to be in that crowd. She wasn't she was supposed to be an outcast. She was not supposed to be there. And13:17 and yet, she didn't care. She was gonna do all she knew to get in the presence of Jesus where she knew her help was coming from. The Bible says, where does our help come from? The13:29 Lord. And she did not care, not nothing was going to stop her and when she reached and held that hem of his garment, she was healed by the13:41 power of the father through Jesus before Jesus even knew. Jesus said, who has touched me? Because he felt that healing power of his that his father provided to her. And so, again, he was13:53 present. He was present in that time of trouble. And all we have to do is reach out and grab that hem of that garment. Picture yourself and don't let go. He is our14:04 lifeline. He is the tree and we're the branch. We need that bind to be we need that so that we can stick so close and know that we can trust him in everything14:16 and and never run ahead of him. Don't get ahead with your worries and your fears, but speak life. Speak stay present and and and don't let your worries get ahead of you because14:27 God is there every day, day by day, moment to moment. And so many times he doesn't want us to get ahead of him and know the future. He wants us to trust him on the way. Yes. Sometimes, you14:39 know, we shouldn't know. We just it's too much.14:42 It is too much. And and like the bible says, you know, Psalm 1 16 3 through 6, the cords of death encircled me and the pains of Sheol took hold of me. I found trouble and14:54 sorrow, then I called upon the name of the lord. I plead with you to deliver my soul. You know, God can get us out of anything. We all know that. I mean,15:06 think about Joseph. You know, Joseph was sold by his brothers and he was literally in the pit. You know, you've heard the expression, that's a pit. Well he really15:17 was in the pit. And then he had 1 brother that decided to go ahead and sell him into slavery. Can you even imagine? I mean, I would have been having a pit tea15:29 party. I mean, seriously, I would have been so mad at my brother. I have 1 brother.15:34 He was15:35 bragging about his15:35 coat. Was jealous of us.15:38 Exactly. But God had a plan in all of that trouble that Joseph went through. I mean, you know, the story goes on and most most everyone knows the story, you know. Then he was15:49 accused by Potiphar's wife, he ended up in prison, he was forgotten in prison until a breakthrough and then he became basically the vice president.16:01 That's pretty much second in command and he saved the earth from a famine through a vision and a dream. And so and he saved16:13 those brothers who sold them into the pit. So God was with Joseph during those times and the bible says he's the same God yesterday with Joseph,16:25 today and forever. So he's never not there to help you when your whole family has betrayed you, when you feel forgotten and16:37 when you feel all alone, Jesus is right there with you and ever present help in times of trouble.16:45 Don't we all know that the devil loves a good pity party? He just loves for us. He just loves to trick us and get us all off our game and to start feeling sorry for ourselves and to just16:57 boohoo it up about all things. And I'm not saying that we all don't have those moments, we do. But we need to stop, think, and remember. Okay. God's with me. God's here. He's17:09 here. He inhabits the praises of his people. That's where he lives. That's his address. And so he is never not there. And so when you're in your biggest pit and your trouble,17:21 you just begin to praise him. You begin to call his name in worship. And I promise you will start feeling the peace of the Lord that surpasses understanding. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come right17:33 back. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.17:35 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 Jesus17:47 Christ.

Grace Grace Ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in the great commission18:34 today. Give now.18:36 Welcome back to the program. We are talking about how God is always there for you. He is ever present in times of trouble. And you know, the Bible says seek God. Seek God with your whole18:48 heart. Seek him first in all things. And why would God tell us to seek him if he couldn't be found? God is always there, and he wants us to rely on19:00 him, to fully rely on him because when we do that, we don't have to be taken off guard. We can stand firm. We can never quit. We can trust him in the tough times and in the19:12 difficult times because they're gonna happen to us all because we live in a broken, fallen world. The days are evil and this is more than ever before. We19:24 need to trust that he's with us in all of these outrageous times and he will never leave us or forsake And19:30 and you know you know the expression misery loves company. You know, not that we want anyone to be miserable, but it is comforting to know you're not the19:42 only 1 going through something. Right? It it says comfort those with the same comfort you yourself received. So often when someone has gone through something, they19:54 are the best ministers when you are going through the very same thing they went through and God got them through. So it's it's always good to find someone. If you're struggling in an20:06 area, if you know someone that God set free in that area, probably this is a good time to connect with them and maybe make them your battle buddy. You know, make them a20:18 prayer partner where you you're getting with them on a weekly basis at least and, you know, stopping what you're doing and praying about whatever that battle is because God does20:30 want you to get through that battle. Remember that, you know, we all go through things and and it from the beginning of time, from the very beginning of time. I mean, you know, think about times20:42 of trouble. Hannah. Hannah was, you know, she was crying out to God at the altar asking God to deliver and give her to deliver her from20:54 infertility and give her a baby. And and she was so troubled that that they thought she was drunk. Eli thought she was drunk21:06 and he was he was appalled that she would show up to the temple drunk, but she wasn't drunk. She was so downtrodden, so distraught that21:18 she could hardly speak. The the bible says she was praying to the point where she had no words left. That's how troubled she was and God answered her.21:30 And you know, it says call to me and I will answer you and and tell you things that you don't know. And that day, she got a word from the Lord that she was going to have a child21:42 and and within that year, she did. And so, you know, sometimes we are so broken, things are so dark, but yet God comes through and21:54 I don't want you to feel like you're gonna be left there, you're not. God's gonna get you through this and and he is gonna give you a breakthrough and and you just need to stand and believe that no matter what22:06 you're feeling that God is gonna help you in this time of trouble.22:10 Yeah. I remember when I was going through a very difficult time, it was a very very horrendous diabolical divorce. And I remember someone calling me 1 day and saying to me,22:24 you have to let the Holy Spirit comfort you. You you are running, and you have to let the Holy Spirit, the comforter, be with you. And I remember studying this and and reading22:36 and and about that, the comforter, and that we can't run so fast that Jesus can't catch us. We can't hide where he will not find us, and, you know,22:48 he he let him be your guide. Don't get ahead of him. Don't run with your what ifs and your thoughts and your fears, and remember to stay ever present, to be in his presence, to be23:00 he's with us in these times of trouble. And just when she said that to me on the phone call, I thought, that's what I'm doing. I I I'm I'm not letting the comforter work in me.23:11 Well, your mind is wandering because you're just thinking of all the things that could happen.23:15 And it was it was just, you know, when you get ahead of God, you're not letting him be ever present there as well. So Right. It's it can be very23:27 tumultuous, but we have to remember that Jesus is is multidimensional. He's what you need in every way. He is everything you need in every occasion that23:39 you need it. He is all things to all to everyone. Exactly. And he's there.23:45 Psalm 56 8, talking about wanderings, you know. You take my wanderings. You put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? And then the bible says23:57 that famous scripture, those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. So there's hope. Yeah. There is absolute hope for you if you24:09 are going through a time of trouble. And you know, we can sometimes we can't even think of all the troubles that can happen on this earth, you know. It it can be tough. It really can. But remember who24:20 you serve and that God is absolutely going to break through and give you a give you joy again. This is not forever.24:30 We should pray. Yeah. And we're just gonna trust the Lord.24:33 You wanna pray? Amen. Lord, I thank you. Father for every person who is walking through a time of trouble that are that your your word says come to me24:45 all you who are weak and heavy burdened for I will give you rest for my burden is easy and my yoke is light. God, we declare and24:57 decree that your yoke will be light all over for every person listening and watching today, God. That you will replace the tears with25:08 joy, father. That father that you will speak hope to them right now, God. And we ask you, Lord, if they don't know Jesus, that God that they that just surrender your life to Jesus right25:20 now and say, give you my life, I ask you to forgive me of my sins, and I Jesus, I make you the Lord of my life. I believe you died on that cross to so that I could be saved.25:32 So we declare and decree these things today and for full joy in spite of trouble. In Jesus name, breakthroughs all over,25:41 amen.

Is there a war between science and faith?26:35 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.26:45 Am I brainwashed?26:46 Do I ignore reason?26:47 Logic. Critical thinking. Science.27:04 RDOF uses logic and reasoning. RDOF has able that. To do27:17 We're27:22 science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science?

Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable. We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we27:51 believe in the existence of God.27:53 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:59 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness.
