The Power of Worship and David's Journey 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.0:55 And I I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we're gonna be talking about victory from David's Psalms. I love the book of Psalms. I mean, who doesn't? It's1:07 I I think about over and over again the different things that David had gone through in the Bible. I mean, he was far from perfect, but he was a powerful worshiper. And so1:19 many of the Psalms are just laced with, like, victory that came through David's powerful worship. And, you know, it's just over and over again, if you if you're having a bad1:31 day, go personalize some of the Psalms for yourself. Put your name, put who you're praying for, put your kids' names, whatever it is, into these Psalms. And know that, like, these words1:43 these words David speaks and and how he he he he tells God what's wrong. He gets things off his mind. He doesn't just sit around and and, you know, he he he he's real with God.1:55 Like he shares his heart, his mind, his soul with everything, and even God himself said that David is a man after God's own heart. These words that David speaks,2:06 these are containers for power. You know, we we can speak these words and and and know that God is no respecter of persons, so everything he did for David,
2:18 every trial he brought him through, every single thing that he he came through through worship and praise and prayer of the Lord to the Lord are just really the same things that God can do for
2:30 us. When we know that this is available to us, that these words have power when we speak them, then we can be an overcomer like David.
2:38 Well and you think about if you know anything about King David's story, you know that he was a shepherd. And whenever,
2:51 Samuel came to the Lord told Samuel to go to Jesse's house, that was his father, and anoint a new king from Jesse's sons. Well, Jesse
3:03 lined up all the boys, and Samuel said, well, is there another 1? And he said no. And then he remembered. This is how insignificant David was.
3:14 He forgot his own kid.
3:15 He forgot his own child. So if you feel insignificant, God sees you.
3:20 Like the king.
3:21 Exactly. So, they remember David. David came out. Here he he's coming in from shepherding sheep, and Samuel, he's got it. Right?
3:33 So he anoints David with oil and anoints him as king. Now you would think right then and there, they placed crown on his head, robe on his back. Nope. That didn't
3:45 happen. This this anointing, this king anointing took a whole lot of testimony beforehand because the real king,
3:57 the the king at the time, king Saul, became very, very jealous of David because, you know, you remember David and Goliath, and the people began to say, you
4:09 know, Saul killed the thousand. David killed 10000. Back then, that warrior term, that was, you know, you were it or not. And so Saul became very jealous,
4:21 and David literally had to run from him for, some people say, up to 20 years. So this is a man who searched after God
4:33 as he's running from a king. Now think about that. Right?
4:37 Yeah. And think about
4:38 scary his life must have been all that time.
4:41 Yeah. But think about also he created most of the instruments. David created instruments to worship to worship God through he couldn't think about at that time, he could
4:53 not think of enough ways to worship God, so he he wanted to create something more, to to have music, to pray, to play before the Lord. He danced before the Lord. He worshiped
5:04 him. And David's life, like you said, was not easy. Imagine imagine, like you think about you think about our kids these days, and you think about how so many people have these, you know, like there's these ongoing
5:16 family feuds, or, you know, I remember you did this or said this when I was little, whatever. Imagine your dad doesn't even get you in for the lineup. No. Like, somebody says, let me see all your kids. No. Everybody
5:28 we're all good. And then Have
5:29 you ever been that forgotten?
5:30 And then imagine when he's parent. No. You have to have another son. You sure this is everybody? Oh, him? Like Yeah. Not him. Like, you know, just think about the rejection or the the how insignificant
5:43 his family thought he was. And yet, this is the and yet part. God can use you no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing for such a time as this. It's always like that. If you think about
5:55 who God used over and over again in the Bible, over and over again, like, look at the disciples. Look at they just came from all we had a tax collector. They were just fishermen. They were just like just like this
6:06 whole scrawny band of whoever. They weren't like the big greatest and and and, you know, powerful doing great things in the kingdom. Yeah. They were nothing like that. But as David just pours out his heart
6:18 before the Lord, that's the reason God blessed him and used him, because David humbled himself, praised him, worshiped him, sought him for every single thing he did, and
6:30 then God used him and blessed him powerfully, no matter who thought little of him.
6:35 That's right. And that's why he's a man after God's own heart because no matter what, he did not turn on the Lord, he turned to the Lord. Mhmm. He didn't turn away from him and run from his call,
6:46 which so many people run from their call because they think, well, that's too great. Mhmm. That's too great for me. But let me just say that that is Pharisee thinking because the Bible says that the that the
6:58 Pharisees didn't see what the Lord had basically planned for them, and they they couldn't see it, so the Lord moved on. Right. And you don't wanna have that thought. And Saul
7:11 started off well, but his heart grew harder and harder against the Lord. And up to the point that he even consulted a witch, he
7:22 he tried to he tried to raise Samuel from the dead to talk to him because he didn't wanna talk to God for himself. And here's here's David who did not have the position of king. He's
7:34 out running. He's hiding in caves. He's got a, like, a ragtag posse with him that I mean, they are the rejects. Those are his
7:46 battle warriors.
7:47 Mhmm.
7:48 And he at at 1 point, he lost his family. He he lost his position. He I mean, he had lost it all, basically, and yet he would always
8:00 turn to God. And he is such a model for how to how to speak to our soul. David spoke to his soul. Yes. And he would say, soul, why are you downcast?
8:12 And then he he would tell it to trust the Lord. Mhmm. That's what we need to do today. For the time we live in, there has never been a greater time to speak to our own souls and say, hey,
8:23 soul. Wake up. You can trust the Lord. Mhmm. Turn to the Lord. Sacrifice. The Bible says, we bring a sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord, and it is a sacrifice. We don't always we're
8:35 not always feeling it. I'm sure David was not feeling like praising the Lord, and yet he did. And we're gonna talk more about that when we come back.

9:45 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle. We're talking about just the Psalms and just the winning thoughts from Psalms and how so many victories were fought and won through praise
9:57 and worship. And, you know, when you think about, when in the Bible when David and his men had all gone out to battle and, they had fought this long hard battle. They were tired. They were exhausted.
10:09 And they get back to Ziklag, which is their town, and all of their women, all of their children, all of their belongings, everything is gone, wiped out, done. And imagine all
10:21 these people who these men who were with him, who were just just tired and weary from battle worn and all of this to to know that they followed David, did all that to come home, and everything they
10:33 knew and loved was wiped out and gone. And they wanted to stone him. They they literally were so mad, and David wept. He cried out to the Lord. And he asked the Lord, shall
10:45 I go after the enemies? I mean, he sought the Lord before anything and everything. And imagine how he must have felt at that time. And it it seemed like the whole world was against him. And yet the Lord said,
10:57 yes. Go after Is it that moment? Yes. Go after the enemies and surely you will recover it all. And so, here they had to go back out, you know, literally
11:09 not knowing what they were going to face, another battle or what was around the bend for them. And and yet, they came upon the camp where they were able to recover all of their women, the
11:21 children, all their belongings, and the plunder that the enemy had stolen from other people. Like, they got they got even more than they lost. But he sought the Lord
11:33 no matter how he felt. Like, how many people will just turn to the Lord and ask those kinds of questions when you're literally battle worn, you see your kids and your wife are gone, you don't know if they're
11:45 alive or dead, you don't know what's happened, and yet he still did not, you know, just like I I quit, I'm done, I'm out. No. He sought the Lord and asked what to do next.
11:56 Should I go after this? And that's what we have to remember is is we need to stand strong in the midst of adversity, in the midst of trouble, in the midst of war, in the midst of a storm in your life. You ask the
12:08 Lord what to do about it. You ask the Lord ask the Lord for scriptures that you need to to pray over your situation. Back up your situation with with with
12:20 go to Psalms, go to the scriptures, and then personalize those for yourself because God watches over that word. This word, the Bible, he watches over those words to perform it.
12:32 Your prayers, your his word will not return void. And so when we come to him with praise, with the word of God, you are setting up a situation in your life for
12:43 miracles to manifest just like David did over and over again because God is so faithful, so faithful to watch over his word.
12:52 He is. And and, you know you know, when I've shared this on the show before, but 1 of my favorite scriptures, which sometimes I say that a lot because I love the word. But, it
13:03 said when David did all that God called him to do, he went on to be with him. And that's what I wanna be. Right? Don't you? We wanna do all that God called us
Victory Through Praise and Seeking God
13:14 to do. That's not a
13:15 boring life at all. That's an awesome life. And, it's not an easy life as seen in our good buddy David. What I love about David and what I've been thinking about this week for whatever reason, you know how
13:27 stories will just kind of roll over in your head, something that's really been, I I I I was thinking about, like, the first time I ever walked into a full gospel
13:39 church. And when I say full gospel, I mean, like, hands lifted more than the organ and the piano playing, you know, and and people shouting and praising the Lord. And, I remember thinking
13:51 this is a weird place, but I feel you. You're here. And I think about David, that David was moving the ark of the covenant, and he it it had been away,
14:03 and and he is so he's just celebrating. And the Bible says he is dancing before the Lord, and he's thrilled. And his wife at the time
14:16 looked out the window and was appalled.
14:18 She made fun of it.
14:19 She's Saul's daughter. So it she's the seed of that hardened heart that didn't wanna praise the Lord, that didn't wanna press in and ask God anything, would rather raise, you know, some old prophet from the
14:31 dead to try to get him to talk, which is a total sin. Don't ever try to get into some kind of seance That is evil to the Lord. Saul died the next day, so that's how that ended. We don't
14:43 want any part of anything like that. But David told her, he said, I will be more undignified than that. That's how he didn't care. He didn't care. And I
14:54 remember the first time I ever raised my hands to the Lord in a church service, you know, I just remember thinking, oh, you know, God, here we go because I don't wanna be ashamed of you
15:06 before men. That that's the scripture that got me off the 1 of the back pews to walk down to be saved was, you know, first, it was Jesus stands at the door of your heart and
15:18 knocks, and I could feel that. But the scripture that got me to get up and go and, say I'm in was, if you're ashamed of me before men, I will be ashamed of you before my
15:30 father in heaven. Guys, it's out there. Do not be ashamed of God. David was not ashamed of God to the point that, he said, I'll I'll be even more
15:41 undignified than that. Never be ashamed to worship the Lord. It doesn't mean that you have to be a public spectacle, but and sometimes, like, when I'm in church, I'm like, Lord, if I could, I'd whirl around this place,
15:53 but I'm sure I would just cause a scene, but you see it in my heart.
15:56 You know? Well, and I always think too because, like, I'm a horrible singer. And so I'm like, you know, the clinging cymbals, you know, like, that's what that scripture, and I'm like, you made my voice, so so you're
16:08 gonna have to listen to it, you know, because it's like, you know, I'm I'm a rock star legend in my car by myself, you know, we can sing at all, but Yes. But, you know, it's like that's the thing. You just he doesn't
16:18 care as long as you're worshiping him and praising him and giving him glory. And you and you know, again, it doesn't it it just it's God is not surprised by anything you're gonna do or say.
16:30 And so if you're just real with him, he wants to have a relationship with you. He wants to walk with you in the cool of the day just like he did Anthony. Just get with him. I I mean, I I just like,
16:42 what are we doing today? Like, and prayers, like, I know for me, it's just kinda constant. It's all day. It's in my car. I might be praying in the spirit when I don't even know what to pray for. Just whatever I'm
16:54 doing, if I'm in a parking lot, a store, I just kind of it's like it's like a constant relationship because if you think about it, the Bible says he will never leave you or forsake you. The Holy
17:05 Spirit is with you all day long, a constant companion. So why not ask him all day long what what's happening, what's going on, or if you feel something, like, even recently
17:17 I feel things in stores and things, or somewhere I'm at, like, just evil, and I start praying in the spirit until I feel at peace. That's that's the relationship he wants with you, and that's what David had. So we're
17:29 gonna talk more about that when we come right back. Stay right there. You are watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.

18:35 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle. We're talking about the Psalms and David and worship and all of that good stuff that comes from Psalms. And I was just looking, you know, there's some quick things
18:45 here, like, when you cry for help, the Lord hears you. That's a Psalm. When the enemy tries to oppress your mind with negative or discouraging thoughts, he causes us to overcome. That's in Psalms. God is always there to
18:57 help you in every time of trouble. That's from Psalms. God knows you thoroughly. He's aware of every thought you have before you think it or speak it or say it. That's in Psalms. There's so many good nuggets
19:09 of information for really whatever you need. There's so many of them. So you you just start going through there and just really just even if you read a couple a day and just kind of glean what
19:21 you need to ask the Lord before you read them. What show me. Let something stand out to me. What what do I need to read today? And and then a lot of the Bibles have commentary which will explain things to you, and maybe
19:33 you're gonna see a new revelation about something that you have not seen before in a Psalm you might have read a whole many times. So God will just lead you through there and show you so many things.
19:43 Well, you know, my mother-in-law used to always say that the word of God is the word is the only book that reads you. You might read it, but it reads
19:55 you. Yes. And, good news, Nina. There's high heels in, in in this Psalms. So here, this is a great scripture. He makes my way perfect.
20:07 Isn't that awesome? How many people do you hear that are looking for direction? God will make your way perfect. So that's a promise in Psalms. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, which means
20:18 that he makes them their footprint look bigger so that the enemy looks, is afraid of you instead of you being afraid of the enemy. That's what that means. He sets my feet on
20:30 high heels. So he will he will exalt you. We're not actually talking about high heels, but, truly, he sets your feet on high places. Right? So he's gonna get you to places you never
20:42 dreamed you could be. Like, are you bored right now? Are you looking for something to step it up in life? God says he'll do it. This is what it says. I mean, he's not a man that he should
20:54 lie. So he says your right hand, he will hold. You know what? If God's got you by his righteous right hand, you're gonna be alright. Right?
21:04 I mean, over and over again, I I like the high heel part because I can't even I can't even reach my cabinets without some heels on, so I have to you know, I can only have the bottom shelf filled with stuff unless I got
21:16 Oh my goodness. I have to I still have to climb on my cabinets. I do. On my counters, I'm climbing up.
21:21 I start walking around across to to get to the next cabinet, the next cabinet.
21:25 My husband always says, you you should stop doing that, you know. And I I said, well, the day that I decide that I'm old, that's you know, that that'll be the day when I can't climb anymore. Or it's funny
21:37 because just the other day,
21:38 I had gotten some new glasses, and I washed them all. And I was putting them all in this cabinet, but I took all the old ones out. And so I'm standing on the on the counter, and I have all the old glasses in my walk
21:50 space. Like, so so I had to yell for Rich. I go, can you come here? And he came, because like I had nowhere to like walk or to jump. And so he came and he got me off the counter. Because I said, I used all my walk space.
22:01 I can't get down. Because I had all the old glasses I was getting rid of. So so see, it's a thing. You gotta walk on your cabinets. Sometimes you just gotta
22:09 do what
22:09 you gotta do.
22:10 And lots of ladders. I remember 1 housewarming gift. I gave you a bunch of You did. I gave her a bunch of ladders. She bought
22:16 me, like, 5 step stools to have in various places of my house because I'm 5 1 and a half. I'm I'm claiming that half inch. 5 1 and a half. So it's especially like this house
22:28 I'm in, that's everything's kinda tall. And so, it's hard for me to reach everything. But that she did. She gave me a whole bunch of step ladders. So so another form of heels.
22:36 Like That's right. He places you on high heels.
22:39 On on high heels and step ladders.
22:41 That's right.
22:41 Yes. He does. So so God will just do amazing things for you when we step out and reach out to him, praise him in the storm no matter what you even if you don't feel like
22:53 it. Sometimes you just gotta you just gotta pray your way through it. Even honestly the best prayers come when you don't feel like praying because the devil doesn't want you to pray your way through that storm. That's a
23:03 good point. You to feel defeated. He wants you to sit there and and, you know, you know, cry in your soup. You know, he doesn't want you to just get up like David, ask the Lord, what am I gonna do about this? Are we
23:15 going after this enemy? We you have the power to defeat any enemies that's coming against you through the word of God, and he's with you. He will never leave you or forsake you.
23:25 Well, and David never presumed. You know, it says, cleanse me from my secret faults. Keep me your servant from presumptuous sins. So I love that. His heart was always
23:37 examining itself. And for all those 20 years when he's just, like, running from Saul, he's crying out to God, and we want that for you too. And we would like to pray with you that
23:49 if you're not in a right place with God, if you're running from an enemy, whatever that enemy could be, we wanna pray with you right now and ask the Lord to to make your heart
24:01 like the heart of David, to make your heart just hunger and thirst for righteousness. So let's pray right now. So, Lord, we give you praise and glory. We give you honor, Lord. Let
24:12 us realize that like David, you don't always feel it whenever we begin to praise you. And so, lord, we ask you that you would pour out upon each and every 1 of us a fresh and new
24:24 spirit of praise, Lord, that we will be people after your heart, lord god, that we will bring a sacrifice of praise before you and also
24:36 into the house of the lord. The god that we will find a place of worship and that we will worship you like David, that we won't care what anybody thinks, but we will worship

26:31 Does science disprove God? Is there a war between science and faith?
26:36 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.
26:40 Is there no evidence for God?
26:42 Am I delusional for my beliefs? It is delusional and stupid.
26:46 Am I brainwashed?
26:47 Do I ignore reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.
26:59 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.
27:02 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.
27:06 If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.
27:17 Has science really ruled out out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.
27:35 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.
27:38 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.
27:41 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, and we believe in the existence of God.
27:48 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.
27:54 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. The
28:05 appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.
