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 and Michele. I'm Michele Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about complete forgiveness, that the blood of Jesus is enough. It really is all we need, and we need to1:07 remember and take a cue from him that he has forgiven us. Just think of anything that you possibly could have done that was against the Lord, that was against Jesus, anything1:19 in your life. And yet, Jesus on the cross paid the price and has forgiven everything, absolutely everything. And not only that, but he doesn't remember it1:31 anymore. Once you repent and turn away from those sin sins and ask him to forgive you, he throws it into the sea of forgetfulness, it is never remembered anymore. But this is a message1:43 I need But because for me1:45 Oh, I1:46 I wish I could just toss these things into a sea of forgetfulness, but for me, I feel like I go over there with a giant net and fish them back out, and this is the problem. And so this is the1:57 she knows. I'm laughing so hard because she's not she's not at Yeah.2:02 And I feel like2:03 It's hard for everyone. It is. You're not alone. It isn't. It's relatable. I promise.2:07 I think that We all feel that way. You know, since I was a a kid, I feel like there's there's just been so much to forgive and the way I was raised and all kinds of things. And yet who who of us,2:19 you know, hasn't gone through things that we need to forgive, but how long are we going to drag this around? Like, that's that's where we where the rubber meets the road. Like, you know, everyone has their story.2:31 Everybody's had things. Everybody's got major things they they have overcome and needed to get through and have been hurt, and we need to forgive, but, you know, when we kind of let these things2:43 fester and take root and then that's where we have an issue. That's where it's causing all kinds of other things in our lives. You know what? That even can block your blessings. You know? It's impossible to please the2:54 lord if you're not gonna have faith that that you can forgive others and listen to his word, trust his word. It says forgive. That's 1 of the commandments, you know. We have to forgive. We have to love others as3:05 Jesus has loved us. We have to move on with these things, and we're not saying it's easy. That's why it's 70 times 7 a day. That's what the bible says. So I sometimes I think I have to borrow from tomorrow, I have3:17 to borrow from next Thursday. I have to just keep borrowing. It is3:21 She's in debt3:22 It's to forgiveness. But we have to do it, and so we need to decide that we're not gonna let this run our lives. We're not gonna let this steal our blessing, steal our joy,3:33 and and let it just just fester and get into every other aspect of our lives. We're gonna change it today. Today Today.3:42 Is the day.3:42 That's it.3:43 We are going to pray away all of these could3:47 do 3 70 shows on this. That's the truth.3:50 It is hard. I mean seriously that is very hard. But it's we have to remember it's not what they like, we have to focus4:02 on what he did for us, and he forgave us of our sins. Yes. And so now to be forgiven, we have to forgive people that sin against4:14 us. That's why the our father, the basic prayer, you know, that forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Yeah.4:26 He he he put that in there for a reason, you know. He did. He put that in there for a reason and it's so it's so true. We have to forgive to be forgiven. And and4:38 there's the story, you know, where the man who was forgiven of a of a debt, of a financial debt in the bible, when it was4:49 his turn to forgive someone of some tiny little debt, he was like throw them in prison. And so his forgiveness of debt was revoked and he was5:01 put back in prison. He was put in prison. It is a prison, that being the general message there. When you do not forgive, it is a prison to you,5:13 not5:14 to them. Right? Yeah. And also because God knew it would not be easy, he put that 70 times 7 a day. Right. Because that doesn't mean those people, whoever hurt you, is hurting5:25 you 70 times 7 every single day. It just means that the devil's trying to pop that up in your mind and lie. What about this? And remember that? And bring this up? And they said this. And it just keeps going on and on.5:37 I'm sorry I'm laughing.5:38 It's just the way you're saying it. It's just it's just gonna pop5:41 it up. It's just hilarious.5:43 He's gonna that's what he is, the accuser of the brethren. And and let me just tell you, I you know, all joking aside, if we if we could put it because it is5:55 I'm laughing because this is so the message I need to preach to myself. That's why this is on the roster today because because I do feel like Excuse me. This when6:07 we are justice and mercy. We've been told that. Right? The bible says justice and mercy work well together. That's what God does, and and she is definitely mercy, and I'm justice. It's like, get them. They they6:18 need to, you know, God, look what they did, and that isn't you know, I know that's true in a lot of things, like, you know, there's there needs to be justice in a lot of things, like, if you've been a victim of6:30 rape or pedophile, you know, some pedophilia issues. Those are the things that are so hurtful and so hard, And God isn't asking you to go back and and talk to them, have any part of these people, nothing6:42 like that, but it's our own it's knowing that we aren't dealing with men or this is a but powers and principalities and wickedness in high evil places. These people6:54 who have done these outrageous things, who are doing these evil things, they're they're not they're they're demonic. It's it's the presence. It's a spirit of antichrist. And so we have to remember that we have authority7:06 over that, that that isn't that person. You know, maybe you've been hurt by a parent or a sibling or something like that. You you've got to, like, remove them from the situation and see that that was,7:18 you know, something that the devil was was was causing or and so when we forgive, it's it's for ourselves. If you don't, it's almost like you're drinking poison and expecting7:30 it to hurt the other person. And this is so important because we're we're we keep poisoning ourselves. They don't they might have moved on with their lives and living this life. They don't even think or have a memory or7:42 a glimmer of you, and yet you're dragging these things around and it's hurting you, and it's blocking your blessings and your joy. We're supposed to have joy every day. Unspeakable, unfathomable7:53 joy in the Lord.7:55 Well, and that's something that the enemy knows where he can get7:58 us. Yeah.7:59 Right? He can get us if he can get the loop going, right? And I always I used to have a pastor that would always say, don't don't rehearse it, curse it and8:10 reverse it. And so when you get in the loop of you know, hey they did this, like you can be happy, you can wake up happy and everything and then all of a sudden poof here comes a thought.8:22 Yeah. You know, it's what did do you remember they did this? You know, and it just is like it starts to loop, and so what you have to do, we interrupt this thought. And8:34 now we are going to think on things of the Lord. It says taking every thought captive to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. And when we come back, we're gonna talk more about8:46 it.8:46 I'm excited to announce that we're bringing back our best offer ever on our original My Slippers.

Today, we are talking about forgiveness and how Jesus has forgiven us so much and that we need to receive that, not9:58 only receive that for yourself and have no guilt and condemnation, but also to give forgiveness, to to to be part of of the the 1 who extends that that10:10 grace and and that those that forgiveness to other people. I've jotted this down that I believe that if the the holy spirit showed me that if we had to do something to receive forgiveness for your10:22 sins other than him, then wouldn't we always wonder if we've done enough? Like like if that's the case, like, you know, if it's if it's Jesus plus all this other stuff, then10:34 aren't we always gonna be like, oh, you know, I should have done more of that today. I didn't read my bible enough today. I didn't worship enough. I didn't repent. Like, we can get into all of that, and that's what the10:44 devil wants because he wants us looped into this chaos of guilt that we're never ever gonna be good enough. It's never going away. We have to just keep at it and keep working super hard, and and that's10:56 not what it is. You know? Jesus just gave it to us. He died on the cross and gave us the forgiveness for everything, every sin we would commit and every future sin. We're not11:07 perfect, you know, even our thoughts, you know, that is you know, we we have to just ask the lord to be the center of every single thought we think.11:17 Well, that's that's so true. And when when you when we take every thought captive, that, you know, that is a serious commandment. Yep. Take every11:29 thought captive. So when when these loops start happening, you have to submit them to the Lord. I don't care what it takes. Like you you just have to you have to just get your11:41 mind stayed upon the Lord. It says, he will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon the Lord. And so when the enemy comes in with the loop11:52 of he did this, she did this, I can't stand them, I never I'm never talking to them again. If I see them in church, it's on. You know, you just you know what I mean?12:03 It's it's true. It's true.12:05 Hold my crown wheel. Exactly. That's right. Hold my earrings. Hang on a minute. But that's not what the Lord wants us to do. He wants us to be in peace, and he wants us to12:17 follow him. It says that he who comes to me must die die to sin. That is death to the flesh because it's kinda titillating to kinda you know, they did12:29 this and then, you know, to be a victim. That's what it is. You do not want to be a victim. You have to Joyce Meyer said this years ago in a sermon and I'm telling you I have made it my12:41 mantra. You can be pitiful or powerful, but you can't be both. Mhmm. And and when we get in our you know, they did this to me and they did that to me, that makes me a victim. And that is not how12:53 God wants us to live. He wants us to live victorious lives. But does that mean that I don't go through the loop? No. It just means the enemy can13:04 catch me off guard, and all of a sudden I'm calling 9 9, I'm like, can you believe? Same. You know?13:12 But the good news is is that we always end our conversations, okay, let's pray. Like, because like, you vent, you know, and that's the thing about having an accountability friend and partner is that, you know, okay, I13:24 am so guilty of this, like, gotta get this off my chest, we need to pray about this, I can't stand it anymore. And and, you know, just just recently, you know, I've through something that, know, somebody13:36 that I kind of thought was a friend who was just sort of betraying. And that's the thing about people, you know. That is the thing about I know and13:43 she's a Christian.13:44 And And I'm13:46 mad at her too. And that's the other thing is that when she gets mad then I get mad. And then I'm in communion we took yesterday and I'm like, oh forgive her, you know? Yeah.13:56 I mean,13:56 because you're not supposed to take communion without forgiveness.14:00 It's is this too real for everybody? We know, but I know that I know that I know that this is going to help somebody because we because this is something that's gotta we it's time to learn these lessons because the14:12 devil wants to the second you choose to forgive that person, and then go the step further because he says bless your enemies. And it's like heaping coals on them. I like have stood on that 1 going, oh, right. Here comes14:23 some coals. Like, let's14:24 And then we think of way ways to pray for them. Bless them all the way to Alaska. Bless them to a foreign country, you know. I mean, give them a great job so they can be transferred.14:37 Exactly. But we know that again, but it's14:40 it's hard. Much kind of how knows.14:44 That's the thing. We're not pulling any fast ones on the lord. Like, he knows that he made us. He knows that that's a struggle. He knows that but also so does the devil because the devil listens to you. And so14:56 when you Yes. When you're talking about how this 1 hurt me and that and this she said this and this and this. Okay. It's time for us to zip it and say, you know what? You know, God has forgiven me so much15:07 even though I'm so mad right now. I'm gonna choose to forgive, and God bless them. And then ask the Lord, say, you know, remove this from my mind. Start praising him. And then if you change, if you just flip that15:19 switch and go, you know, Lord, I'm so thankful that that I have you, the Holy Spirit in me, showing me what is wrong, that I can pull this out of me, that you can create in me a clean and contrite heart so that15:31 I don't have to carry this around anymore. Because Jesus, what you did, what you forgave is so unbelievable. How can I not forgive these things? Oh, I know. And, you know, you you don't have to go back to15:43 trusting somebody. You don't have to go back to even having them in your life, but we are supposed to bring the offenses if you can. If it is somebody, a child, a15:52 If it's the body of believers and the or the family, you know, if you can, make total restoration. When God restores, he multiplies. Sometimes those fractures can make you16:04 stronger, but you need to go to them and address it. You know, the Bible says if you are taking communion and you have ought against someone, you need to go to16:15 them and tell them your offense and try16:19 to16:19 restore. God wants restoration if possible. Doesn't mean that you can go back to some child molester someone who was so abusive or16:31 who you have a restraining order against or I'm not advocating for anything like that. I'm saying when it's reasonable and when it can be restored, God is able to16:43 do more than you could ever imagine when it comes to relationships and restoration of relationships. And so, I mean, you know, there are a lot of things that go on in church that I16:55 don't see all the time. You know, I've never once had a pastor say, now if you're offended with anybody in this body of believers, go to them. Never. I I don't think I've ever been to a foot washing17:07 sermon either. You know, I I know other people have,17:10 but The service and everybody just got17:12 up and everybody's like, hey, Lord, no you didn't. You called security.17:17 Okay. Yeah. Who am going through first? Yes. Exactly. Know, it's you know, I know I know we seem to be joking, but this is this is such a tough 1, but we're saying it's gotta stop. It's really gotta17:29 stop. And so we are gonna take a quick break. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We will be right back.

Get all your shopping done now while18:34 quantities last.18:36 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We're talking about forgiveness. It is a tough 1, we know, but it is so necessary. And, you know, I know even as a parent sometimes, you know,18:48 sometimes we can, you know, kind of have these these offenses against our kids or our kids against us, and and you know, what what occurred to18:57 me the other day, I18:58 was thinking about this and it's like when my kids were growing up, I think sometimes sometimes I acted like a general when I needed to be a mom and I acted too much like a mom when I19:10 needed to be a general. You know, we're not our kids' friends and so many times we we we sometimes worry because we we don't want them to be mad at us. We want to be like their buddies or their19:21 friend. That's not it. Mm-mm. No. We're we have lived some life. We've got some wisdom. We have walked with the living God. And, you know, if I know a lot of times we might say things I19:33 know myself, you know, I might say things wrong, I might not have the best approach, but it's my heart. What is my heart saying, you know, for your children? What are we really saying? What do we really mean? And when we19:45 we can ask them, you know, forgive me that I I might have said that wrong. It's not how it came out. If you they if if you would really tell your spouse, your kids how much you love them, that what you're saying to them19:56 is said with love. Just and and if if it's any anger coming out, it's fear based because you don't want them making mistakes. We want our kids serving the lord. We want them to have happy, wonderful, fabulous lives20:07 because we love them so much. But this this goes across the board, you know, so many times, you know, where we've seen something and we've jumped out and go, oh my gosh, like, you know, when you you get to be this20:17 general, when you should have been the mom, the listener, and then and and then the opposite is very true. And so a lot of times, you know, we have to forgive ourselves, and that's what I'm getting to is like, you know,20:29 nobody has this thing perfect. Every every person that you deal with in your life, your from your spouse to your friends, neighbors, kids, you know, everybody has their own personalities, their way they're wired,20:41 what they think, what they believe. Some people can take a whole lot of stuff and it's just water off a duck's back, and some people just get so hurt and then carry that around, and so we have to just be mindful20:52 and ask the Lord to forgive us where we've gotten off track with that and ask us to show us where who we need to ask to forgive us, you know, so that we we don't have any of that. So21:04 nobody's having those burdens against us. Nobody's perfect, we just know we try our best, and when we serve the Lord, he's gonna help us do just that.21:13 He will. He he definitely will, and we have to remember that, you know, 70 times 7, like we think that when we say that that somebody's going to offend us21:25 70 times 7 in 1 day. But I think the message is more like that thought keeps popping And so it pops up, forgive. Pops up, take it21:37 captive. Pops up, renounce it. You know, and and the narrative so that the enemy is not gaining a foothold to where you are no longer living in21:49 victory, but you're focused on this other person. And and that that will cause you to have delayed blessings, that will cause you to not be able to move forward22:00 because it is a requirement that we forgive even though sometimes we think, well, that's not fair. But God knows God knows, and he forgave22:12 us. Think about that. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. He22:24 God gave his son so that there could be forgiveness of sin. Forgiveness, that blood for it caused me who22:36 have offended the lord. I'm I I mean, I can't even count the times, and if he was up in heaven doing what I'm doing to my people that I'm frustrated with, I would be in big trouble.22:48 I mean, seriously. I mean, God forgives me. And I think about the blood that was on the doorpost in Egypt and the death angel had to pass23:00 over. It did not matter what was in the house, it mattered that the blood was on the door. Put that blood on all of your unforgiveness when you23:12 pray. Begin to say, I plead the blood of Jesus over my offense with this person and this person and this person, and I'm asking you, Lord, to deliver me from it. In Jesus name, just23:24 ask him. Yeah.23:25 You know, if you've ever done that exercise, you'll be surprised who the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. And I mean, honestly, you know, it'll be somebody I haven't even thought of23:37 in a long time and it just pops up, and and so, you know, you can ask the Lord if you have any, you know, you know, things that were not reconciled, any offenses that you need to lay down, that you need to forgive23:48 those people, and any things that people said, and we need to remember too that broken people are, you know, hurt broken people are coming from24:00 that place of hurt themselves, and so then they hurt other people because they that's the place they're coming from. That's where they draw their conversation and everything that they do. A lot24:12 of that is insecurity, all those things that that need to be healed by the Lord. So let's pray about that very thing, Michelle. Let's just take it all to the Lord so we can forgive.24:21 We are going to believe the Lord. And and the next time you take communion, we're gonna believe that you're not gonna have a list because God is going to deliver you from your24:33 your list. Amen. So let's pray right now. Father, we thank you so much. We love you, and we thank you that you died on that on the cross for for me and and for everyone24:45 that has received you, Lord, and and for for the entire world. We thank you, God, that that that the blood that you shed caused us to be forgiven and was the great24:57 sacrifice. Lord, why would you have had to go through all of that if we didn't need to be forgiven? And so God, give us hearts of forgive forgiveness. Lord, give us soft25:08 hearts. Give us hearts that quickly forgive. Give us hearts that do not take easily to offense. Lord, change our hearts. We plead the blood of25:20 Jesus over our hearts, and we ask you God that no matter how big the offense, we will forgive, and that we will be free in Jesus' name. Amen.25:32 And we can ask him to renew our minds, you know, so that we're we aren't stuck on those thoughts, that we can just have a new mind. And and it says that we can have the mind of Christ, and so we can our25:44 thoughts can be his thoughts. We can think like him, and and and if we could see people through his lens, you know, I think things would be a lot different. So we just love you guys so much, and we're so grateful to25:56 all of our viewers and our partners, and thank you so much for for just your faithful viewership, and and we love to hear from you guys.
