Divine Interruptions 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 when God just jumps in there and interrupts your plans, interferes in your life, and1:08 how sometimes we might, at the time, not like wondering what is going on. But you know what? God interferes in the plans of men and that is a good thing. And we're1:19 gonna talk about that today because ultimately, that's what we want. Because we don't want our own plans because no matter what plan we've come up with for ourselves, if it's not of God, we1:31 don't want that and we want God to interrupt us. And you know, the devil has he's constantly interrupting us. You know, do you ever just decide you're gonna get in the word more, you're gonna spend the day with the Lord,1:42 you're gonna read more, you're gonna do something, and then what happens? The distractions, the phone's gonna ring, some some crisis is gonna occur, something's gonna break in your house, that you're gonna have to call1:54 repair like, it's like all those things. Things are gonna be the devil just loves to distract us from being in the word of of God and spending time with the Lord. But2:05 when God interrupts our plans, watch out because that's when the good stuff happens, even if you can't see it right away.2:12 Well, exactly. And and we have to think about, you know, everybody has, a different reaction to when God interrupts their plans. Some people carry on and say, nope. That, you2:24 know, you you've heard of the Church of the Frozen Chosen. You know, we can all be part of that church sometimes. Our heart gets hard towards the Lord, and we're trying to get our to do list done, and I mean when I tell2:36 you I have a to do list, I always have a to do list. I keep a to do list. Sometimes it's 6 pages long tight2:44 Yes.2:45 And I I just mark it off. That's sort of how I'm wired, and, when I don't know what to do, I go to my to do list so I can go to the next thing and and you know? But I want to2:56 be available for God to interrupt the program and do I'll do something else, and I and I always say that to the Lord. You know, God, here's3:08 my plan. Like the Bible says, that man makes a plan, but God is the person that causes, you know, the plan to happen, and it could be a completely different3:20 plan. Like, think about the good Samaritan.3:23 You know, the good3:24 Samaritan, there were there were people that were walking along the way. 1 was a priest. He was like, I am not touching that. He is a Samaritan. I won't be able to be around anybody for 303:35 days. You know even though he was supposed to be the man of God you would think that this good godly man would have gone to help and love the3:47 person who's beaten up by robbers. There was a Samaritan man back then. The Jewish people didn't want to have anything to do with Samaritans that made them unclean, unclean, and so then3:59 they couldn't go into the temple. And so the priest was like, I am doing something. I am not gonna help that man. But there was another man who was on that same dangerous road4:11 who love the love of God compelled to go over, and he was okay that God interrupted his plan, and and man when I tell you he went and he4:23 he bandaged the gross wounds. I mean seriously, he paid for it. He he put him up in a hotel. I mean he took care of the Samaritan and he4:35 was not he was not the man of God. The the man of God, I should say. He was a man of God.4:44 Yeah.4:44 But, you know, we need to be interrupted where we are absolutely okay to go with the flow of the Holy Spirit's plans.4:54 And you don't always understand it. You know, put me in your plan, Lord. When we ask for that, sometimes we have to be prepared for the answer because sometimes there's a holy discontent involved. Sometimes for you to be5:05 in God's plan might mean you have to abandon, you know, maybe there's people in your life that need to be cut out. Maybe God's moving you. We recently moved out of the city that was, you know,5:17 just there's a lot of, crime happening and and, you know, we just saw God interrupt our lives and kinda get us out of there. And, you know, we can't always understand or see what God's doing at the time, but we have to5:28 trust that he knows things we do not know and that we that's what we need to welcome. And, you know, when you are asking the Lord, you know, even in your children's lives, when you're asking God to5:40 intercede, interrupt, I say pull them out of their plans. Do not let them look to the left or to the right. Keep their eyes straight on you. And you know, I remember when my kids were 2 having 2 boys and when they were5:51 sort of like in middle school and and they would be, you know, running around on their bikes with kids and you know, sometimes doing some mischief and things like that. I remember, you know, we're like a mom would call6:03 me or another neighbor, somebody who witnessed something would call me. And I remember having a chat with my younger son and he got because he was getting in trouble about something that I had heard about when they were6:15 out in their little bike squad. And so I remember him saying to me, well, how come I always get in trouble? How come so and so when he's naming the friends? And I remember telling him, you know, God loves you so much6:27 that you're even gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught in your actions because God's interrupting this so that you don't go down that stream because you're gonna learn a lesson right now. You're gonna know that that6:38 isn't normal, that good behavior that you're supposed to be doing and so you're gonna get caught so you don't continue down that path. And I know that might seem like a simple lesson, but that's a lesson for all of us.6:49 Like, you know, if you're if you're going down a pathway of sin or you know you know if you're doing something, be sure your sins will find you out and you're kinda hearing that tug or you7:00 know you shouldn't be doing that or maybe somebody's going to say something to you or call you out on that. You know, a lot of times our first reaction is to be defensive about it, But why don't we stop and say, God,7:12 is that you? Are you, you know, recognize what he wants to do in your life. God is not okay with you sinning and he loves you so much that he's gonna do whatever he has to do. Interrupt, intervene,7:24 interfere to pull you out of that place of sin and put you down back on solid ground and on the right path he has for you. But the the sometimes that process is not fun And so7:36 but but when we recognize later on, something to thank you Lord. Thank you that you pulled me out of that. Thank you that you're doing a work in my life and you didn't you love me so much that you didn't let me continue7:46 down that path. And so so many times we have to be so grateful for the interruptions and really ask the Lord, what is the big picture in this? What are you doing through this? Because interruptions sometimes7:58 in the process are not uncomfortable and that's the point. We all want our little comfort zones and, you know, God loves us too much to leave us where we are.8:07 Right. Exactly. And to your point, you know, I'm a child of the the seventies and eighties where when parents weren't paying attention to the kids. You know, you just go out in the yard. And whenever I got saved when I8:19 was 7 so the the Lord's hand was really on me, and so I would do something that wasn't right, and God would get me, and I mean expose me. I mean it was like8:31 how? How? How do you know you're saved? You can't get away with a thing. Yes. You know, because God himself loves you too much to let it go, and when we come back we'll talk more about that.8:43 The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus. And that is the mission of Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.

You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are talking about when God just steps in and interferes and intervenes in your life. And you know what? I'm telling you, no matter what9:57 you might think at the time, it is always a good thing. And that should be our prayer. A lot of times you say, God, you know, show me. Show me where I've gotten off path. Lord, forgive anything that I might be doing10:09 wrong and create in me a clean heart and and you'll intervene in my life if there's something that needs to change. Because we ultimately don't want to keep any kind of sin or anything that's10:21 that's gonna stop us or block our blessings, the things that he has in store for us. If we're off doing whatever is that isn't pleasing to God, we want that interruption.10:33 Sometimes we might be sort of slipping into something that you might not even realize. But you want that interruption. You want that truth to set you free from whatever that is because sin is always fun for a10:45 little while, a little season. And then all of a sudden you are so in deep that you don't even know how you're coming out of it. But there's good news. When we ask the Lord to forgive us and to to to10:57 take us from these things and remove us from these places of sin and put us on his path, he will do it. He will interfere in your life and do everything. You know you know,11:08 Jesus left the 99. He leaves the 99 to go get the 1 sheep and if that sheep is you, you know, you're not getting away. That sheep that he went after, he didn't he didn't get away. Jesus had11:20 that sheep and so he's got us and he's we want that interference.11:25 Exactly. And and a and a lot11:27 of times what I've noticed is, like, because I have served the Lord since I was a little girl, there's, like, a pattern with the Lord. You know, I like I keep getting blocked, I can't11:38 figure it out, I'm like I I remember it for example, I was going to visit a lady on a list that I had for work, and, I could11:50 not get in the gate, and so I sat and waited for the gate to open for someone else to open the gate, to her home, and I had never met this woman, so I end up getting delayed like 20 minutes, and I'm12:02 like I cannot decide whether this is God or Satan, but either way I'm gonna sit here until I figure this thing out. I mean after a while, I was like, this has to be the Lord. So I go to her home that I have12:14 her address. I go12:15 to the12:15 house. There's another gate. I'm like, okay. Forget it. I had tried to call. I was, you know, trying to get a hold of her, and anyway, I said to the Lord, okay. I was12:27 gonna just leave her a little gift and a note and tell her that I had dropped by, and I said what do you want me to give her? And it was like 200 questions that people ask, about the Lord, and I thought well you know12:39 sometimes that can be controversial. I don't know her. Yes, it was a book, and so I I just thought I don't know her, but I just kept feeling feeling that tug, and so you know here's all this distraction. I'm like12:51 sitting there going I thought you were in this. I thought I was delayed because she was gonna come. Then all of a sudden when I have this little bag ready to go the gate opens. I'm like oh that's weird she must have13:03 seen me, and she goes do you have the package? I'm like It's like, oh. I don't know this lady at all.13:10 Is this a drop off point?13:12 I don't know. I said, I don't have the package. I have a package. And so, she goes, who are you? And then I turn around. There's this little girl on a bike. This13:24 lady had never met this little girl. She has a package. This the Lord set this whole thing up. It was a divine distraction. And so she goes, now she gets this package from this13:36 little girl, and I'm still standing there with my bag, and and she looks at me and she goes, who are you again? And so I try to tell her who I am, and and I could just see her13:47 face. I said, do you need me to pray with you? And she said to me later, that was the first time anyone ever asked her if she need a prayer. Isn't that amazing? And so13:59 she she goes, can you please come into my house? And I said, yes, I will. So she goes, can you come on by my back porch? So we sit back there, and and she ends14:11 up she gets saved. It was the Lord God Almighty. It was a divine appointment and and distraction and timing, and only God can do14:23 something that good. And I mean, I was like finished with something early, and that's why I decided I would go there. And it was all just the Holy Spirit. And sometimes whenever things are not working out the way14:35 you think maybe it's because God is divine divinely lining you up with someone, and that lady is 1 of our dearest friends.14:45 And she is a powerhouse14:47 for a warrior. She moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Her family got saved. She is awesome. Yeah. We love love love her. Yeah. And I mean, what a gift for us.14:59 What a gift.14:59 I mean, it just the whole thing was God himself.15:02 I remember another time you and I were together and, we were we were going to some partners houses to visit some partners and we pulled up we we were trying to find a house and we were getting all turned15:13 around and honestly, we were coming into some weird parking lot.15:17 And we started talking about divine15:19 distractions. Yes. Like, this has to be legal. This is weird. What are you doing, God? Because, like, why are we not finding this? Like, why are are is their address like keep bringing us to a parking lot and it was so15:30 so strange.15:32 I think Syria is a terrorist and all this crazy stuff. We were laughing.15:36 Seriously, serious dumpsters off in gravel gravel roads with dogs on chains over there.15:41 This is the place. And we're15:43 like, Lord, where are we? And so long story short, we wind up finally finding this house. Now, it's like an hour later and we were it was starting to get dark so we almost gave up and15:55 we were gonna go home. And so we and and they don't it was gonna be unannounced. This was like a partner we were dropping off a gift to them with someone new. And when we finally found the house, we were just gonna pull16:06 up in the driveway. In fact, I was waiting in the car because you were just gonna drop out the gift in the note. And so it and it was when you were working at CBN, that was the purpose of the visit. And so so16:18 it was weird because this year dropping this off and all of a sudden this some car pulls in the driveway. And then it's like long story short, they invite us in the house. The the woman that she invites us in the16:30 house and starts telling us all of this stuff. Her marriage is in a humongous crisis that her husband's leaving her. They're about to get divorced and they have been married forever. They were a little bit older couple16:41 and it just was crazy. So we just sat there and we started praying with her and I'm sitting there in this dining room and I go, there's a man in your backyard. And it was like all of a sudden her husband comes in16:53 after we had prayed. He left. He left and he comes in the door. We all start praying. They were they were like crying, stay the night. It's too far for you to travel back to17:05 Houston. It was Louisiana. And so they were we were of course, we did not. But we but it was like The Lord did a work in their marriage. In their marriage. And they were both crying and they were like, couldn't believe17:16 we were there and all of this stuff. But if we if we had to blow it off Yeah. If we did have just instead of persevering and knowing that our interruption of these parking lots17:27 and all of this stuff was God's perfect timing to get us where we needed to be, we are gonna come right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.Trusting God's Plan 17:38 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 Jesus Christ.17:50 When you donate to Grace Grace Ministries, you're also reaching orphans and the underprivileged throughout the world, as well as the United States.

Grace Grace Ministries is a 5 0 1 c 3 charitable organization. Gifts are tax deductible, so join us in in the great commission today.18:38 Give now.18:40 Welcome back to the show. You are watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we're talking about when God just interferes, intervenes, interrupts your plans, and just steps right into the middle of whatever's18:51 going on or whatever he's got in store for you and how we need to pay attention to that because it's always good. It is never not gonna be good. When God wants to switch your plan or19:03 change you or or interrupt your plans, it is always always gonna be glorious and always for the best because the blood of Jesus, the word of God is life transforming. It is19:15 soul refreshing. It is sin delivering. It is health restoring. It is so victorious in every single thing. And what could he not do for us? And so sometimes19:27 those things, those you know, don't let those be your your hill to die on. When you feel like something terrible has happened to you, you know, ask, stop and say, the Lord, Lord,19:39 what are you doing in this? You know, maybe you lost your job and or maybe you're going through a horrible divorce and I know I've experienced a experienced a a a divorce. I know how horrible these things can be. But19:51 then let's ask the Lord. You know, God knows conversations that are going on about you in the backroom. God knows things that you don't know and we always have to know that his plan and purpose for us is always for20:02 good. He is good. He can never not be good. And so when we stop and say, okay, you know, you are doing something here and I know it. And so just just help me through this time20:14 because even if you're walking in the the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil because God is with you and he is gonna take you out of that. He's gonna set you down on20:26 solid ground. He's gonna show you his plan and his purpose for you. He's gonna reset your life, and it's always gonna be for good.20:35 Well, right. And and the bible says, god works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. So I don't care what is going on.20:46 God will turn it around for your good. God is right there with you. You are not a you are not alone. You know? And and we're talking about, you know, divine disruptions,20:59 divine interruptions, and and and then also distractions to get us off the path of God's will, and sometimes good things can look like God things,21:11 and they're not good because really God called us it's bait, and and like even in the Bible in the New Testament when the disciples who had witnessed all that Jesus had done21:23 there they were to go and tell there were widows that were being unattended, and those widows, that's a great you know, the Bible says, what is pure religion undefiled before man? To take care of the widows21:35 and children and orphans, and you know those are important. That's the heart of God. That's pure religion. Right? So but the disciples could have gotten caught up in that21:47 they needed to take care of them. What they needed to do was delegate that assignment because God had called them to go tell to tend to the word and to minister to Him in prayer,21:59 and so sometimes just because it's good doesn't mean it's God. Sometimes we need to discern the spirits. That's what the Bible says have a spirit of discernment. Ask the Lord for22:10 a discerning spirit to rightly divide what it is you're supposed to do, and so truly good things can cause you to miss the target22:22 because you think, well, that's my that's my job to take care of that. Well, that yes. They did take care of it. They stopped what they were doing. They assigned other people to22:34 the job. They made sure that those widows were ministered to, but they went back to their true call, the 1 that is that caused them to be polished arrows in the hands of the Lord, the22:46 1 that was ministering to God in prayer and to the the word of God and to ministering the word of God.22:53 And and so many times it requires when God intervenes, it is you having to step out of your comfort zone. It is letting go of the side and getting out in that deep water and and and23:05 just trusting the Lord because, you know, it it it's sometimes, like I said, it's a holy discontent. It is not always comfortable. But there's no sometimes there's no way for God to23:17 shake you out of where you are unless it is an uncomfortable situation. And you you ever ever just think like the other day, I was like yelling at a squirrel from my car.23:28 Do you23:28 ever just go like, get out, I moved, like you're you know, obviously It23:32 happens to23:32 me, I23:33 don't know.23:33 The squirrel is not gonna hear me. But, you know, I thought I go, isn't that what God does?23:37 Squirrel is where we live.23:38 It's like, don't you think that God is up there, like, screaming at us like a squirrel in the world? Like, sometimes, like, I don't know. And so sometimes I just if we stop first thing in the morning when we're23:49 praying, get it you know, tithe your day. Seek the Lord first and ask him to order your steps for the day. And I ask him, don't let me miss you. Whatever you have for24:01 me today, order my steps today because that's what it says. The word says he orders every step. But are we taking those steps? Are we off on our own steps and then, you know, having all these issues? So it's like, don't24:13 let me miss you. Put me in your plan today wherever I need to go and then pay attention. Maybe you're heading to the store and you feel led in your spirit. Like, I'm gonna take this road or I'm gonna go that store24:23 instead. You know, pay attention to those things so that you don't miss the assignment of the Lord on your life and and don't be the squirrel in the road. So so, you know, because God's plan is always better. Let him24:35 let him interrupt and let him interfere with your life. Do you wanna pray, Michelle?24:40 Yes. Lord, we thank you. We give you praise. We we just come right now and we ask you Father to to give us the words to pray. Your your word says we don't know how to pray, but the Holy Spirit will24:52 pray through us, and so God you know the needs of those who are watching or listening Lord. We we ask you, Father, that you will meet their needs and that God that you will,25:05 just just tell them what it is you want them to do. They're crying out for the will of God in their lives, and we just say right now in agreement with them, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth25:17 as it is in heaven for these people that love you and are called according to your purpose. And Lord, let all the plans of God for their lives be yes and amen, and that father that that that they25:29 will rightly divide any distraction that is keeping them from the will of God, and we ask you God that they will go towards the love of God and helping those who need you and and and and25:41 let them be able to discern the difference, father. We ask you for these things in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.25:48 Amen. We hope that we have interrupted your day with the word of God and that you are blessed by this broadcast.

There's no evidence for God and it's irrational. Is there no evidence for God? Am I delusional for my26:34 beliefs? It is delusional and stupid. Am I brainwashed? Do I ignore reason? Logic. Critical thinking. Science.26:50 RDOF uses RDOF uses logic and reasoning.26:53 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.26:57 If you wanna be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:07 Has science really ruled out God?
