Overcoming Fear with Faith 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 Dinah Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys. And I am Dinah Keegan. Welcome to0:57 our broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about fear again. Honestly, this is a show we could do every single time we film because We1:06 could call it faith instead of fear instead of grace grace.1:10 Honestly. Because, you know, the people who write to us and the people who come on our social media, all of our largest posts, the posts that have the most feedback, the most1:22 likes, the most everything are the ones about fear, and the most prayer requests we get are about fear. And, you know, the devil wants that. If we are so1:34 focused on fear and getting in fear, we're not focused on God, and it's really f e a r, false evidence appearing real. He wants us so distracted, so1:45 in fear, and having anxiety, and worrying about everything. All these things that we really cannot do anything about except pray and trust the Lord, which is everything. But1:57 he is over here trying to steal, kill, and destroy, to shake us, to get us off of our peace, and the Bible says 365 times, fear not, do2:09 not fear, and that is 1 for every day. It is so important to God that we do not fear and there's that scripture that says, fear not, there's nothing to fear. And I always put my name in it.2:21 Whenever I'm tempted to fear, and I always ask the Lord, put a guard on my heart and my mind when I am entering the fear zone. And I ask the Lord, stop it, quicken me to know, okay I see2:33 what that is. I rebuke, I bind that, I take my authority over that, and I will personalize that and I'll say, fear not Naina, you have nothing to fear. And I'll say that 10 times until I feel better. And you know, we we2:45 have to fight this fight because fear is not from the Lord, and he doesn't want us to fear.2:51 No. And and and when when we first met, remember how you had so much fear and anxiety?2:58 I was going through a very, very difficult time.3:01 Yes. You were. And it was because you really you could feel something was off, but you couldn't identify it necessarily, so you had this this anxiety. Because when I3:13 met her, her her marriage was beginning to falter, not because of her, but it was it was something. And and she fell the3:23 spirit of adultery. Yeah. That I could feel that. Yeah. It was and now I do recognize that. Like, you know, the very the very thing that the devil has used to harm you or try to hurt you can3:35 really become your ministry, and I have ministered to to different women who have gone through that same thing. We have recognized that knowing, you know, I believe this is what's going on over there and it was true and3:47 it was right.3:47 Oh, I used to sit and talk to you and when you were so fearful and anxious and I would pray with her, I would always think, it's adultery is what I'm thinking. But, you know, it's like, if I say3:59 that, it's what's that gonna do? You know, I would ask questions, but pointed questions. But finally it was revealed. He confessed and then when I went to see4:11 her after it was he was out of the house, I said, you are a different person. It is a hundred percent like you are calm and you're no4:23 longer fearful and what is that? It was because she she could sense whatever it was. I mean her life basically was about to collapse and she knew she was she4:35 had a husband that was something was off. She just couldn't prove it yet. And so finally, he confessed, and that was that.4:43 Yeah. I mean, talk about a testimony with that. You know, Michelle and I went to hear some some lady speak, and she was a former Muslim Turkish TV4:55 evangelist to the Middle East. And we went to hear her speak. And then she asked, you know, if anybody wanted prayer, to come up for prayer. And5:06 literally, again, I was going through something, but I wasn't sure what or and she literally told me, once she met me5:14 She moved in the gift of prophecy, and I don't know if you've ever been around someone like that and the words of knowledge and wisdom.5:22 And so And she literally told me, once she met me, she goes, I don't come out and do things like this. The Lord told me to go to Houston and I did not know why. And then she literally says to me, but now I5:33 know, because you're gonna be going through you're gonna be walking through something, a very difficult time, and I'm gonna walk you through it. And then she tells me that my husband is having an affair and he's on5:44 drugs. Literally told told me all these things. My initial response to that in my mind, which she's crazy, you know, this isn't true, you know, because you don't wanna believe these things.5:56 And yet, long story short, I was soon after that, I found out it was all true. And she also said, you know, that I'm gonna walk you through it. There's no reconciliation. The6:08 Lord wants you out. And she had me, you know, you know, just just praying over me. I wound up in CBN's office. I had Pat Robertson6:20 praying over me. I the Lord worked so many miracles through such a hard, difficult time in my life. And, of course, she was there for me through such an6:29 awful difficult time. Her to speak in Houston and just said, well, hey, I remember we I went and got you and we We didn't know her. Yeah. We didn't know her, but we6:41 we just kinda hung out with her that day and got to know her a little better. And, I mean, honestly, that was that was crazy. It really was. It's like,6:53 wow. That that's that's something. And and I remember when she said that, I thought, I know Nina, and I know she's not sticking around. She said there's no reconciliation. Well, I already knew that. Because7:04 and I, you know, it's just like, I know she's not gonna stay.7:09 And then it all made sense. I mean, there were so many things I was questioning, and then I was find was to find out that every bit of it was true. And, it was a very diabolical divorce, a very7:21 terrible situation for me and my family, but God brought us through. I mean7:26 It took like 2 years or something. Yeah. It was like crazy time. Epic battle. It was so hard, and it was like, you know, you could get in fear if you looked at it, you know, for very long, but then you would7:38 just say, you know, I we prayed all the way through it, and it was like, no. We're not gonna believe that report. We're gonna believe God's report. And, you you7:50 were you worked you walked out of there smelling like God's rose.7:54 Right? You took care of me in the midst. And that's the thing, you know, no 1 ever promises us that when you're a Christian that you're gonna have this rosy life because the world is is you know, the thing is about8:05 there's so many worldly things and the evil in the world, and that was evil. And yet I still had to walk through it, even though it wasn't my fault for the demise of the marriage, I still had to go through8:17 it. Because but God, God, he's there with us through the horrible times, through the good times, through the bad. He's right there. He delivers us from all evil. He will take us through,8:29 even when you're walking through the valley in in your and it says it says I will fear8:34 no evil.8:35 Fear no evil. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but he will see us through them all. Count it all joy when you go through trials of many kind. And so we're gonna come back in just a minute.

And so we're just talking10:03 about this time in my life and that I was walking through such a difficult difficult divorce, but what I'm here to say is even though it was super super hard and I spent so much time crying,10:15 I got so close to the Lord during that time because it was faith over fear and trusting him with every single day. I mean honestly,10:27 I I cried and prayed and cried and prayed and cried and prayed. It was a very hard time. But you get yourself a good accountability partner, and Michelle was just she walked me through that entire thing, and10:39 and and just we prayed together so much. And, you know, even though it was such a hard time, it was almost like, you know, the best of times and the worst of times, because when you see God just10:51 scoop you up and take you through the difficult times, and he's there for us and there's nothing like the trials sometimes to really see the love of God poured11:03 into your life and to deliver you from the fear, to deliver you from the evil, and to to know that he's got this whole thing. He knows everything that happened. He knows why it happened. He11:15 knows who did what to who. And so he's gonna take care of all of that. And he also says that that, you know, when I had to forgive him, that was the hard part. And we don't11:27 want that judgment.11:28 And you never even hardly talk about him now. Oh. So I know you've you're over it.11:32 I'm so happily married now. Yeah. God's redemption story. Right? He you know, even through all of that and and it was also you, 7 years later, telling me that I, you11:43 know That's enough single life that it's time. And I was really not interested. I was like, okay. She really wasn't. I said, you you you11:52 should probably still think about dating again. Like, my youngest was really wanting to leave the house, and I was like, no. Don't. You know? It's like he was my dinner buddy and all of that, and so, you know, but12:03 God knew, I have the most wonderful husband now, and God knew where he was and and who he was, and it's a miracle that we met. And so see, that's how God that's full redemption story, but12:15 but, you know, that was a very fearful time in my life because I was really afraid for my kids too. You know? And12:23 And God completely took care of all of that. Yeah. I mean, at every turn, God took care of it. Every even specifically, you know, like, when something that was so12:35 specific would happen, it was like God would give a word, God would, you know, stand when you are are going through something and you you ebb and flow through fear and12:46 faith. Right? 1 minute you're like, Yeah. I got this. God's gonna see me through this. And the next minute when you get the bad news of the day, you're like, Oh.12:58 0 no. You know,13:00 this is terrible.13:02 Yes. And then you have to build yourself back up so that you're not walking in fear, you're you're walking in faith. And so I just remember all the little specific times13:14 that it looked like, oh, no. Tell about the tax deal.13:19 Oh, yes. Okay. All of a sudden, 1 day in the mail, I get you know, he I didn't pay the taxes. I didn't do any of that that he did. I, you know, he took care of13:31 all those things. I remember signing tax returns, but that's about it. He took care of all of that. And then all of a sudden and he had this big company. And so all of a sudden I get an IRS bill13:43 for a half a million dollars that he said was mine. And I mean I was I remember her calling13:51 and I couldn't hear I could hear some sounds eeking out. And I'm like, are you okay? You know, and she you know, talking about this tax bill, and that would that would scare14:03 anybody. You know, that talk about fear. The you anybody who owes taxes knows that that might be a good fear to have.14:12 You know what? You14:13 gotta call on the lawyer.14:14 Know anything about this. And and we had an amazing, tax guy that always did our taxes and that still does. And and, and I remember calling him and I was paying14:26 these lawyers, you know, it was so diabolical. It was spending so much money on these lawyers. And the the the initial report was was that it would14:38 take 2 years, 2 years to settle the IRS discrepancy and problem before I could actually get divorced. And I just hit the14:50 floor. I said I cannot go through this for 2 more years. I cannot pay lawyers for 2 more years. And so I got everybody to pray, and I was to be15:02 in a to mitigate, and it was literally gonna be in 10 days from then. That would what that means was we're gonna be able to meet and get through and basically agree on things15:13 and end end the the the whole issue and get divorced. And that was gonna happen in 10 days when this this arrived, when this this bill arrived. And so I started saying,15:25 Lord, I I I wanna be divorced in 10 day. I wanna get this over with. I want this to be done. I want I don't wanna go through this for 10 for 2 years. I can't do it. And so I started praying, God, you have 10 days to15:37 settle this. You can do it. You can do anything. You can do this. And that seemed crazy when they told me 2 years. 10 days. Right? Okay. So my tax guy calls me15:49 up. I was like, God, it's you have 8 more days. God, you have 5 every day, and we're all praying. Okay. There was like 2 days left, and he calls me and he goes, are you sitting16:01 down? And he said, I heard back from the IRS. He goes, they called me, which he goes, I didn't badger them. And they said, it's all done. It all went back to him. She's an innocent16:13 spouse. This has nothing to do with her. It was all his company, and he was going to receive an 85000 dollars penalty for falsifying information. And it's16:25 settled. And he goes, this is a miracle because there was even a weekend in there. And he said, how your stuff got risen to the top of the pile,16:37 read through, settled, and solved in literally less than a week because there was a weekend in there is an absolute miracle. Does none of those16:49 things work fast. And I was able to go to the litigation and to the mediation and I was able to get out of that entire situation and he did not even know17:01 what the IRS had settled because our attorneys brought it in there and said, this is done. And I mean17:10 That was God. And and see, had you just cowered in fear? That's right. But but God took care of you, and and greater was he that was in you than he17:22 that was in the world. And he and he worked it all out. So, you know, I mean, honestly, I can see where you would have fear in that situation, but God came through in such a big way, and he'sFaith in Action: Miracles and Deliverance 17:34 gonna17:34 do that. Like to have any credit card you know, everything. I'm like I don't I it's it's just amazing what God can do.17:41 That's right. That's That's right. And we're gonna talk more about fear when we come back.17:45 I'm excited to announce that we're having our biggest Christmas sale ever.

Get all your shopping done now while quantities18:44 last.18:45 Welcome back to Grace Grace. We are talking about fear. God does not give us a spirit of fear. And if you are walking in it right now, we are gonna ask the Lord before the18:57 end of this segment that you are delivered from fear because nothing feels like fear. Right? It's it's almost tangible. Your body can hurt. It19:09 it it causes physical problems, you know, when you're walking in fear. And it's so easy these days to look around and see you know this or that and19:21 decide, oh my goodness the whole world's collapsing. What am I gonna do? And now I'm in fear. Right? So just trust that God is going to deliver you from fear. And I've19:33 shared this story before, but I was walking through something years ago and I mean I felt fear grip me so hard. I I I didn't understand that it was a19:45 spirit. I I, you know, I I knew that scripture, but I didn't realize that I was carrying around a spirit of fear. And I went to this,19:57 it was it was a camp meeting, is what it was called, camp meeting. And it was like every night it was like a revival. Right? And I went down to the altar, didn't say a word, and this man of God20:09 walked up to me and he just put his hand on me and he said, I rebuke the spirit of fear on on your life right now. And when he said it, poof, it lifted.20:22 I got delivered, and I was like, that's right. It is a spirit. And I had forgotten about that, you know. But I was walking around in that kind of fear. It's miserable.20:34 Fear has torment. The Bible says fear has torment.20:38 It20:38 does. God does not want you to walk around in torment. Yeah. God no matter what, it says though the earth be removed and be cast into the sea, I will not fear. I am not20:50 gonna be afraid because God is gonna take care of me. God is my refuge. God is my strength. God is an ever present help in times of trouble. No matter what happens, God21:02 is gonna take care of you.21:03 You know, when the Bible says be anxious for nothing It21:08 means it. Nothing. That's that sounds crazy.21:11 That means Like nothing. Happening in the world. Nothing. What is there anything that is too hard for God?21:18 But cancer. Right? But cancer you could be anxious about cancer. You could be anxious anxious if you're, just lost your job. You think. That would seem like something there would be21:29 exceptions for, but it says for nothing. Right?21:32 Because you think about this, okay, when the Bible says that Jesus is the name above every other name, Jesus is the name above cancer, Jesus is the name above finances,21:45 Jesus is the name above everything, But what the devil wants us to be so gripped in fear about how we're gonna get through this, how we're gonna overcome this, that we don't go straight to the21:56 scriptures. We go straight to Worry Town and, you know, like I I used to say, some people, you know, sometimes think you're the mayor of that place. You know, we have to know that that the word22:08 of God trumps everything, every fear, every lie, every deceit, every disease, every lack, every22:21 situation, Jesus has fought and and and died and won those battles for us already. He has already gone before us in those situations. And so, again, the Bible says, whose report will you22:33 believe? And I know it might sound crazy to some people, but we are either gonna believe it or not. And, you know, we look at somebody like Dodie Osteen, and she was literally22:45 went home to die on her deathbed and was still deciding to plan a vacation, weighed 80 some pounds, you know, and she got her miracle. She's like 85 years old today, that22:57 was 30 some years ago, and she's still doing fine. And she got her miracle, but she never wavered. She never ever wavered.23:05 That's what you gotta do. Never waver.23:07 Mhmm.23:07 I think about I just went to see Maya Mary Lou, in Portland, and she's 97 years old. But on the day she was born 97 years ago, so almost a hundred years ago she23:19 weighed 2 pounds. So the doctor back then would not even give her a birth certificate, and she had a grandma who said no. No, she's not gonna believe that report.23:31 She's gonna believe that she's gonna live, and she's gonna take care of her, and she's gonna be okay, and she refused to kowtow to fear. And 97 years later,23:43 I'm visiting her. Isn't that amazing? So she made that doctor give that birth certificate to her and would not let him leave without it because, you know, back then it was a home delivery.23:53 Well, and think about no medical Yeah. Advancements at at that time. 2 counts. So it was 100 percent god. Like, you think about there would have been no NICU. No. And, you know, so24:04 amazing.24:05 Did not make it back then. But she did and I just visited her and she's 97 now. And that little grandma, my great grandmother would not put up with it24:17 and stood in the face of fear and said write out that birth certificate. She's gonna live. And so that's what kind of faith we need. We need to replace fear with faith. Amen. And so right now we're gonna pray for you to24:29 be delivered Amen. From fear. Yes. Lord, we don't have any power, but you do. We have the power that you have given up given to us. And so right now, we pray that every24:40 person listening that is crying out to you to be delivered from fear, just like you did it for me, just like you did it for Nina, for we we pray right now that you will do it for them. Deliver them24:52 from fear. Deliver them God from evil Lord Lord which fear has torment. We rebuke this tormenting spirit in Jesus' name, and now it is replaced with25:04 power and love and a sound mind in Jesus' name. Amen.25:09 You know, I'm gonna leave you this scripture. John 16 33. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. Peace, peace, peace25:21 trumps fear. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. And so, you know, when we know that He25:33 wants us to be in peace, to be of good cheer, to take heart and know that he doesn't he's he's he's not asleep at the wheel, and he knows what you're dealing with, and he knows how fear can come in. And but when25:45 you say no, you know, I lord, give me your peace today. Give me your peace. And and the Bible says that his perfect love casts out all fear. So just say,25:57 God love me perfectly today. I need you to love me perfectly today and bind the spirit of fear, and I promise he will do it. So thank you for watching the broadcast today. God doesn't want you toFaith and Science: A Harmonious Relationship 26:09 be in fear. Head on over to social media.
