Speaker 1 (00:02):
We want to honor God because he sees everything.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's
the God of all things possible. He's the God of
all miracles.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Welcome to Grace Grace with Nina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphries.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And I am Nina Keigan.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Welcome to our broadcast today. We are so so happy
you joined us. Today we're going to be talking about
creating an open heaven and what that means, and what
that looks like, and what that means for us. You know,
the Bible talks about us as believers, we have so
much available to us that we don't even know. I
think most of us have not even begun to tap
(01:18):
the surface of all that God has for us. We're
to be walking in a kingdom anointing as bringers and
carriers of His divine glory and goodness. So we're going
to talk all about that today, and we're going to
create an open heaven, and we're going to declare and
decide that miracles belong to us and are for us.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And God has not stopped doing miracles, and.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We're going to go about seeing how we're going to
get those this year.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, and you know, the Bible talks about the Word
of God, which is a sword. You know, how do
we fight our battles? How do we keep an open heaven?
We stay in the Word of God. The God never
separates from his word. So when we pray the Word,
when we come to the Lord in all sincerity, heaven
(02:09):
opens up. When we press into God and we humble
ourselves and we tell the Lord, we don't have all
the answers. We cannot do this without you tell me
things that I do not know, like the Bible says,
call to me and ask me things that you do
not know, and I will tell you. And so when
(02:30):
we consider that the Word is true, and we come
to Jesus with our entire hearts, God opens up heaven
and he opens up the windows of heaven to pour
out a blessing more than we can hold.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And there's nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
When you begin to walk in the sweet spot of God, there's.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Nothing like it. There is nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But until then, you feel like something's missing, something is missing.
I know I should be doing something, but I'm just
not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's really not about something you have to do. We
just need to get into an agreement what God's already done.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Through his son Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And he said, the Lord gives the keys to his
children to open things.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
He gives us the keys.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It says this in Matthew, and you know some of
the things that we get to have keys for. You know,
God wants to open more things than just heaven, because
first he wants to open our eyes and our hearts,
and he wants us to just believe, believe with a
childlike faith and just know that He's got all of
these things just ready for us. And we don't want
(03:35):
to wind up being like the Israelites. You know, there's
so many people that'll say, oh what, you know, God's
got a plan for you, and that's your plan and
this is how it is.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
No, that's really not how it is. It's not the things.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That happen to you or or the things that are
are you. You're sort of procrastinating and the breakthroughs you're
really not getting. That's not God's plan for you. This
is really about Think about the Israelites. Do you think
it was God's plan? It wasn't for them to walk
around the desert for forty years?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So what was going on?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What happened that there was no open heaven over them,
even though he was meeting all their needs, he was providing,
he was taking care of us. So many of us
have that kind of life where he's just we're just
coasting along. It's like the status quo life. But are
you really doing what you were sent here to do?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
God has a plan and a purpose for you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And if you just think that that that something's missing,
Today we're going to pray over that open heaven and
we're going to ask the Lord to open eyes and
open hearts so that we can go get what he
has for us this year. This year, we're going to
make some changes.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And you know, I think that part of living under
an open heaven is to be in awe of God,
like if you realize he is all howful, remember who
he is. And so if you are sitting there in
your house and you're saying, I do not live in
(05:10):
an open heaven.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And I'm not talking about people.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Who are going through trials because Paul said, you know,
I mean Paul lived in a perpetual trial and yet
he was so right with God. So it doesn't mean
that because you're experiencing trials, whether it's you know, people
that you love. Financial, a job situation, a relationship situation.
(05:33):
Trials are not a sign that you're not living under
an open heaven. That is part of life, and you
can you just get in there, just like Paul, and
you keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on praying,
and God's going to open the windows of heaven for you.
But living under an open heaven is knowing who God
(05:55):
is getting. Sometimes if you can get on your face
before God, make yourself, just lay before God on the
ground and remember who he is. The good news is
you don't have to be in charge of everything. Jesus
is in charge of everything. All you have to do
(06:15):
is tap in to one minuscule amount of the resources
of heaven and your whole life will change.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That is a fact.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, you know, the Bible says that I tell you
the truth, you shall see heaven open and the angels
of God ascending and descending. That is in John one
five one. And I always think of that. I've pictured
that like angels just coming. It says in Daniel that
the very minute you pray, angels are dispatched. And so
(06:47):
if you could just picture that staircase with the angels
coming and going, bringing you know, your please, your prayers
to the throne room, coming back with the answers. And
it's just like a very very awesome mental picture. Sure
of what the Bible says we have available to us
under an open heaven, but how many of us know
how to tap into that?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
And when we tap into it up by believing, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Bible says that He crowns our year with favor, and
our pathways will drip with abundance, abundance of what well,
what do you need? Do you need restoration? Do you
need are you lacking? Do you need finances?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Do you need hope? Do you need joy? Peace? Do
you need health? You know, whatever you need?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
God says your pathways can drip with the abundance of
all that He has for you. Jesus has already died
and made away. And when you know that, and when
you know how to proclaim his goodness and declare and
decide that that's the thing that you get to have
because you.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Are God's child?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What will he not do for us when we get
into an agreement with him?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Isn't that just amazing?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It is? It is?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I think being grateful you know and knowing who
you are, because the devil tries to come against who
we are in Christ. And I mean he even did
that with Jesus. You know, Satan himself went to Jesus
and said, if you are the son of God, now
(08:19):
that's preposterous. He knew Jesus because Jesus was there at
the foundations when the earth was laid. Satan knew exactly
who Jesus was, and he was still when he was
in his earthly body. When Jesus was in his earthly body,
Satan tried to pull that one on him. And so
if he pulled it on Jesus, if you are a
(08:41):
son of God, if you are a child of God,
I tell you what. We'll talk more about this when
we come back.
Speaker 5 (08:47):

Speaker 1 (09:49):
We are talking about living under an open heaven, and
we were just saying before the break that Satan himself
came against Jesus to make him question his identity in God.
You know, the Bible says that when you are born again,
from that moment on your name is actually written in
(10:12):
the Lamb's Book of life, you become a registered citizen
of Heaven. The Bible talks about how we are so journals.
We are only walking through this life no matter what.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You're going through.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You're just walking through this life to get to heaven,
where you are actually registered as a citizen. You have
the passport of the blood of Jesus, and you have
that when you pray. You have a passport, and it
is called Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
And so you can come boldly to the throne of
(10:47):
Grace knowing that you are a blood bought child of God.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That the devil can tell you no, you're not. You
may not be feeling it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
That day, but let me just say, if you you
have been born again, you are able to come boldly
to the throne of God and have a boldness to
ask for anything. The Bible says, with all kinds of prayers,
all kinds of supplications, you can make your request known
to God, and the peace of Heaven, all the peace
of Heaven, the Prince of Peace of Heaven, will come
(11:20):
into your situation, no matter what it is, no matter
how dark it is, no matter how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The keys of David that God will open doors, open
the gates. Open the doors no man, no earthly person
can shut if God's opened it for you, and he
will also lock shut the doors you shouldn't go through
when you ask for God to order your steps.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
When you are walking in the.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Spirit, if you are born again, your life is not
your own. You are living, directing and directed by the
Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
This week, this past Sunday, my husband and I were
coming home from church and in my neighborhood, all of
a sudden we pulled up on our street, a very
quiet neighborhood. Really nothing ever, seems to be going down
in my neighborhood in a bad way. A blessing, it's
a very big blessing, And all of a sudden, four
doors down from my house there is like seven police
(12:19):
cars and all this stuff is going on. And the
day before on Saturday, it was very much the same thing.
There were like six police cars the day before, and
there was a home that had like an older guy
maybe the father, and then a younger kid who is
maybe I say kid, he's thirty maybe, And there was
(12:44):
some controversy going on. They were pretty new in the neighborhood,
so I really don't know them, And so my neighbor
had come out and she said, oh, they.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Were here earlier in the week as well, and so
you really don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, all of a sudden, this Sunday, we see all
these police cars and we couldn't really pull in to
get to our house, so we ended up having to
drive past that home. And as we were driving past,
four police were escorting the younger man in handcuffs out
of the house and I just, you know, my heart broke.
(13:16):
I saw this the dad kind of on the corner
and he seemed very broken. And so we finally got
into our house and everybody was kind of out watching
seeing what was going on because worried what is actually
going on in our neighborhood. And all of the neighbors
were outside, but the older man started walking and I
said to my husband, I said, oh, I feel so
(13:38):
led to.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Pray for him.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And he passed every house and there were neighbors all
over outside.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And he came to my gate.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And there's something about the gates that the Lord speaks
to me about. And he slumped over on my gate
and I said, the Lord just gave me a burden
to pray for you. I don't know him, I don't
know if he's a praying man. And he said, please
pray for me. I need all the prayers I can get,
he goes, that's my son, and I just went down
(14:09):
my steps and I laid hands on him and I
felt the anointing of the Lord and we just prayed.
And after that he just got up. He said thank you,
and he just walked into Who knows what's going on.
I don't know what happened. I don't know the reason
for all of the arrest and what's going on. But
all I know is that when you're walking in and
(14:32):
open heaven, you are directed by the Lord.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
And he told me to pray for that man.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And that man did not stop at anyone else's gate
or anyone else's home when everyone else was also outside.
But he he was led to my house and the
Lord spoke to me to pray over him. And that
is how we should always live our lives. And I
love being used by the Lord. I love when we
(14:58):
listen and when we pay attention, and that is available
to every one of us when we just tune into
the Holy Spirit. You know, he could have just stopped
at my gate and we could have said nothing, and
so really you could have.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Been embarrassed because all of your neighbors were watching, you know,
and the Bible says, you know, I am not ashamed
of the Gospel, for it is the power of salvation,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So that was good that you were not ashamed.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You know, I've said this over and over again.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I said, you at you live a while, I think
I don't really care what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I only care about what God thinks.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And that is such a freedom in that, because you know,
people will judge you and say things negatively about you,
and it's like they don't know me, And so God
knows me.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He knows my heart. Do I mess up all the time? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Are we still just always human beings? But God knows
my heart and he knows I want to do better
every single day. And that when you the closer you
get to the Lord, the more he will give you,
the more he will use you, the more he will
create that open heaven that you can walk in his anointing.
You know, we're to go heal, We're to go lay hands,
(16:11):
We're to pray for the sick, pray for all these things.
We are we are the open heaven. When we get
into an agreement with God. Isn't that just so cool?
What we get to do?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
It is, and there are so many especially right now.
You know, this just seems like almost like the beginning
of sorrows, you know, and I'm sure there have been
other times in history.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Where it felt that way to people.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We've really lived our lives in a really blessed time
when you think about it, We've we've lived under Van
Vernet been a blessing, especially in the church, to the
point where it's almost difficult for anyone that's actually in
the church to know what persecution is. But as we've
(16:57):
said before on this program, I think we're about to
find doubt because you're going to have to be where
you're not ashamed of the Gospel.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
To live under an open heaven. You are going to
have to stand for Jesus.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't care if you lose your family, if your
kids look at you and think you're crazy, if you
lose your job. You're going to have to stand for
Jesus in these times. It is so important that you
hold up this word and raise up a standard against
this evil. And we'll talk more about it when we
(17:32):
come back.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus,
and that is the mission of grace. Grace with Nina

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You are watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, and
we are talking about an open heaven and creating an
open heaven and another way is for asking the Lord
to open your eyes. The Bible says, I am sending
you to them to open their eyes and to turn
them from darkness to light and from power of Satan
(18:57):
to God. That's an ax that's twenty six, verse seventeen.
You know, we can ask God to open our spiritual
eyes so that we can see what God has for us.
There's sometimes when you're looking at something as just a
human being and you're looking at things naturally, you might
not be able to see a way out. You can't
(19:18):
see how God could possibly fix this. But we have
to take the limits off of God and remember who
he is. You know, miracles were his idea. This is
not about you God. When you relinquish it all and
when you have come to the end of yourself and
you just pray for God to open your eyes and
(19:41):
open the heavens and to send the miracle that you
need today, when you believe that and you can literally
get it in your mind's eye, see it first, get
a vision for what it looks like for you to
be healed, or for you to walk in freedom of
anxiety or fear, or walk in peace, whatever it is.
(20:02):
You first see yourself free. You have to literally take
the chains off of your mindset and ask the Lord
to give you a spiritual eyesight and a new vision,
a vision for an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And talking about vision, you know people have some people
that I know, they get poster boards and they put
pictures up of things that they're praying about so that
they can keep it before them, Like the Bible says,
write down the vision so that the people may run
with it. And I think that's so important. You know,
we need to submit our visions to God. We need
(20:39):
to be humble and obey him, make sure that we
are abiding in his word. But I would encourage you know,
the Bible talks about how you know you close the door.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You don't, You're not like a pharisee.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Don't be praying all your prayers in front of people
to impress them, because the.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Bible says that's about it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's all the reward going to get is the people going, Oh,
very cool, they can really pray. Who cares shut the
door to your whatever room, close it, Get face down
before God, kneel before the Lord your maker. Call upon
the name of the Lord. Ask in reverential fear, submit yourself.
(21:19):
Ask him that if you have any aught in your heart,
any unforgiveness.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That he will show you.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
If you need to get on the phone and call
somebody and ask them for forgiveness, do that. Make sure
you're walking in forgiveness. Make sure you're all clear with everyone,
and go before the Lord in boldness, infervency, and ask seek, knock,
keep standing and keep believing. And I believe then that's
(21:46):
when the door's open, because all of Heaven is just
waiting to answer those mighty prayers. Because it doesn't matter
if you're a Billy Graham or a Pat Robertson or
whoever you are. God is no respector of persons. When
you stand before the Lord, you stand there covered by
(22:08):
the precious sacrifice that Jesus made on that cross. So
you can go boldly right there in your closet, right
there where you are, no matter where you are.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And another way is God wants us to open our hearts.
You know, so many of the people who are stuck
and in such bondage have such a.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Closed off heart. Maybe they've been hurt in church, or
they've been hurt in.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ministry in some way, or you know, you just are
closed off, and you believe that the things of God
are just not for you, and it's not true. But
the Bible says the veil is upon their heart. The
veil shall be taken away. We all with open face
beholding as in a glass. The glory of the Lord
(22:54):
are changed into the same image, from glory to glory.
An open face reflects an open heart.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
And we have to keep.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Our face on the Lord, our eyes on the Lord.
We have to open our hearts.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
There's a scripture this has created me.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
A clean heart, O Lord, And I say this all
the time because I guess I have my Catholic upbringing,
you know, so I'm always thinking I'm doing something wrong,
and I hate that scripture that talks about grieving the
Holy Spirit. So I always say, Lord created me a
clean heart. Whatever it is, a repent of all things
(23:32):
known and unknown, and open your heart to the Lord.
He has so much in store for you. And we're
going to see God move under an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Michelle, you want to start praying.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, yeah, let's pray. Lord.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We thank you for every person that is listening or
watching wherever they are in the world. We ask you Father,
you are omnipresent, So that means you are right there
with film, and that means that the can open up
right over them, Lord and change their life.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
We ask you for a shift.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
In the heaven leaves over each and every person listening today.
We ask you that as they cry out to you,
Jesus that Lord, that you will hear from heaven, and
that you will pour out a blessing.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
More than they can hold.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Most of all, that they, if they do not know you, Lord,
that they will believe that you are. You are the
only way to Heaven. You are the way, the truth,
and the life.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
And so God, we ask.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You in Jesus name, that they would give their heart
to you right now, and that God, that you will
bless them more than they can ask or think, and
pour out a blessing that just seems impossible even now,
in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
And then, and we are just so grateful and delighted.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Send us to prayer request.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
We are so eager to pray with you, and we
get into an agreement with what y'all need. God's favor
on your life is all we're going to declare this year,
and we're going to see it come to pass.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Amen, And we're going to believe that this year you
are going to live under an open heaven. And one
way that you may get in there and get into
a deeper relationship with the Lord is Nina has written
two books, one hundred Days with God and one hundred
Days with God too, and you can get those on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
So just know that we would.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Love for you to order those and I believe that
it will deepen your relationship with the Lord.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And a portion of the book goes to our orphans.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Promise that we really do have a heart to help
the orphans, and you guys have to stay tuned. There
is an exciting message from our dear friend Darryl Youngblood.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He is bringing in the word and you don't want
to miss it.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
He's got such an exciting and a powerful ministry. You
gotta stay tuned, don't miss it. We love y'all, God
bless you, love you?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Does science disprove God?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Is there a war between science and faith?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
We don't need God to create a universe.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
There's no evidence for God and it's irrational?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Is there no evidence for God?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Am I delusional? For my beliefs?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It is delusional and stupid? Am I brainwashed?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Do I ignore reason?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Logic, critical thinking? Science?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Our dof logic and reasoning. RDIOF has empowered my sons
to defend their faith with facts. If you want to
be equipped to defend against the biggest objections, the existence
of God, our dof is the place for you. Has
science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science?

Speaker 3 (27:34):
The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Incredibly compelling, yet easily understand the way. We believe in rationality,
we believe in reason, we believe in science, and we
believe in the existence of God.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I would leave every event with a mind boggling on assurance.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I never believed in God, I just think it was craziness.

We want to honor God because he sees everything.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's
the God of all things possible. He's the God of
all miracles.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Welcome to Grace Grace with Nina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphries.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And I am Nina Keigan.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Welcome to our broadcast today. We are so so happy
you joined us. Today we're going to be talking about
creating an open heaven and what that means, and what
that looks like, and what that means for us. You know,
the Bible talks about us as believers, we have so
much available to us that we don't even know. I
think most of us have not even begun to tap
(01:18):
the surface of all that God has for us. We're
to be walking in a kingdom anointing as bringers and
carriers of His divine glory and goodness. So we're going
to talk all about that today, and we're going to
create an open heaven, and we're going to declare and
decide that miracles belong to us and are for us.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And God has not stopped doing miracles, and.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We're going to go about seeing how we're going to
get those this year.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, and you know, the Bible talks about the Word
of God, which is a sword. You know, how do
we fight our battles? How do we keep an open heaven?
We stay in the Word of God. The God never
separates from his word. So when we pray the Word,
when we come to the Lord in all sincerity, heaven
(02:09):
opens up. When we press into God and we humble
ourselves and we tell the Lord, we don't have all
the answers. We cannot do this without you tell me
things that I do not know, like the Bible says,
call to me and ask me things that you do
not know, and I will tell you. And so when
(02:30):
we consider that the Word is true, and we come
to Jesus with our entire hearts, God opens up heaven
and he opens up the windows of heaven to pour
out a blessing more than we can hold.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And there's nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
When you begin to walk in the sweet spot of God, there's.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Nothing like it. There is nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But until then, you feel like something's missing, something is missing.
I know I should be doing something, but I'm just
not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's really not about something you have to do. We
just need to get into an agreement what God's already done.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Through his son Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And he said, the Lord gives the keys to his
children to open things.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
He gives us the keys.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It says this in Matthew, and you know some of
the things that we get to have keys for. You know,
God wants to open more things than just heaven, because
first he wants to open our eyes and our hearts,
and he wants us to just believe, believe with a
childlike faith and just know that He's got all of
these things just ready for us. And we don't want
(03:35):
to wind up being like the Israelites. You know, there's
so many people that'll say, oh what, you know, God's
got a plan for you, and that's your plan and
this is how it is.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
No, that's really not how it is. It's not the things.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That happen to you or or the things that are
are you. You're sort of procrastinating and the breakthroughs you're
really not getting. That's not God's plan for you. This
is really about Think about the Israelites. Do you think
it was God's plan? It wasn't for them to walk
around the desert for forty years?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So what was going on?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What happened that there was no open heaven over them,
even though he was meeting all their needs, he was providing,
he was taking care of us. So many of us
have that kind of life where he's just we're just
coasting along. It's like the status quo life. But are
you really doing what you were sent here to do?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
God has a plan and a purpose for you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And if you just think that that that something's missing,
Today we're going to pray over that open heaven and
we're going to ask the Lord to open eyes and
open hearts so that we can go get what he
has for us this year. This year, we're going to
make some changes.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And you know, I think that part of living under
an open heaven is to be in awe of God,
like if you realize he is all howful, remember who
he is. And so if you are sitting there in
your house and you're saying, I do not live in
(05:10):
an open heaven.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And I'm not talking about people.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Who are going through trials because Paul said, you know,
I mean Paul lived in a perpetual trial and yet
he was so right with God. So it doesn't mean
that because you're experiencing trials, whether it's you know, people
that you love. Financial, a job situation, a relationship situation.
(05:33):
Trials are not a sign that you're not living under
an open heaven. That is part of life, and you
can you just get in there, just like Paul, and
you keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on praying,
and God's going to open the windows of heaven for you.
But living under an open heaven is knowing who God
(05:55):
is getting. Sometimes if you can get on your face
before God, make yourself, just lay before God on the
ground and remember who he is. The good news is
you don't have to be in charge of everything. Jesus
is in charge of everything. All you have to do
(06:15):
is tap in to one minuscule amount of the resources
of heaven and your whole life will change.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That is a fact.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, you know, the Bible says that I tell you
the truth, you shall see heaven open and the angels
of God ascending and descending. That is in John one
five one. And I always think of that. I've pictured
that like angels just coming. It says in Daniel that
the very minute you pray, angels are dispatched. And so
(06:47):
if you could just picture that staircase with the angels
coming and going, bringing you know, your please, your prayers
to the throne room, coming back with the answers. And
it's just like a very very awesome mental picture. Sure
of what the Bible says we have available to us
under an open heaven, but how many of us know
how to tap into that?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
And when we tap into it up by believing, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Bible says that He crowns our year with favor, and
our pathways will drip with abundance, abundance of what well,
what do you need? Do you need restoration? Do you
need are you lacking? Do you need finances?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Do you need hope? Do you need joy? Peace? Do
you need health? You know, whatever you need?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
God says your pathways can drip with the abundance of
all that He has for you. Jesus has already died
and made away. And when you know that, and when
you know how to proclaim his goodness and declare and
decide that that's the thing that you get to have
because you.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Are God's child?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What will he not do for us when we get
into an agreement with him?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Isn't that just amazing?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It is? It is?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I think being grateful you know and knowing who
you are, because the devil tries to come against who
we are in Christ. And I mean he even did
that with Jesus. You know, Satan himself went to Jesus
and said, if you are the son of God, now
(08:19):
that's preposterous. He knew Jesus because Jesus was there at
the foundations when the earth was laid. Satan knew exactly
who Jesus was, and he was still when he was
in his earthly body. When Jesus was in his earthly body,
Satan tried to pull that one on him. And so
if he pulled it on Jesus, if you are a
(08:41):
son of God, if you are a child of God,
I tell you what. We'll talk more about this when
we come back.
Speaker 5 (08:47):

Speaker 1 (09:49):
We are talking about living under an open heaven, and
we were just saying before the break that Satan himself
came against Jesus to make him question his identity in God.
You know, the Bible says that when you are born again,
from that moment on your name is actually written in
(10:12):
the Lamb's Book of life, you become a registered citizen
of Heaven. The Bible talks about how we are so journals.
We are only walking through this life no matter what.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You're going through.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You're just walking through this life to get to heaven,
where you are actually registered as a citizen. You have
the passport of the blood of Jesus, and you have
that when you pray. You have a passport, and it
is called Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
And so you can come boldly to the throne of
(10:47):
Grace knowing that you are a blood bought child of God.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That the devil can tell you no, you're not. You
may not be feeling it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
That day, but let me just say, if you you
have been born again, you are able to come boldly
to the throne of God and have a boldness to
ask for anything. The Bible says, with all kinds of prayers,
all kinds of supplications, you can make your request known
to God, and the peace of Heaven, all the peace
of Heaven, the Prince of Peace of Heaven, will come
(11:20):
into your situation, no matter what it is, no matter
how dark it is, no matter how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The keys of David that God will open doors, open
the gates. Open the doors no man, no earthly person
can shut if God's opened it for you, and he
will also lock shut the doors you shouldn't go through
when you ask for God to order your steps.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
When you are walking in the.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Spirit, if you are born again, your life is not
your own. You are living, directing and directed by the
Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
This week, this past Sunday, my husband and I were
coming home from church and in my neighborhood, all of
a sudden we pulled up on our street, a very
quiet neighborhood. Really nothing ever, seems to be going down
in my neighborhood in a bad way. A blessing, it's
a very big blessing, And all of a sudden, four
doors down from my house there is like seven police
(12:19):
cars and all this stuff is going on. And the
day before on Saturday, it was very much the same thing.
There were like six police cars the day before, and
there was a home that had like an older guy
maybe the father, and then a younger kid who is
maybe I say kid, he's thirty maybe, And there was
(12:44):
some controversy going on. They were pretty new in the neighborhood,
so I really don't know them, And so my neighbor
had come out and she said, oh, they.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Were here earlier in the week as well, and so
you really don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, all of a sudden, this Sunday, we see all
these police cars and we couldn't really pull in to
get to our house, so we ended up having to
drive past that home. And as we were driving past,
four police were escorting the younger man in handcuffs out
of the house and I just, you know, my heart broke.
(13:16):
I saw this the dad kind of on the corner
and he seemed very broken. And so we finally got
into our house and everybody was kind of out watching
seeing what was going on because worried what is actually
going on in our neighborhood. And all of the neighbors
were outside, but the older man started walking and I
said to my husband, I said, oh, I feel so
(13:38):
led to.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Pray for him.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And he passed every house and there were neighbors all
over outside.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And he came to my gate.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And there's something about the gates that the Lord speaks
to me about. And he slumped over on my gate
and I said, the Lord just gave me a burden
to pray for you. I don't know him, I don't
know if he's a praying man. And he said, please
pray for me. I need all the prayers I can get,
he goes, that's my son, and I just went down
(14:09):
my steps and I laid hands on him and I
felt the anointing of the Lord and we just prayed.
And after that he just got up. He said thank you,
and he just walked into Who knows what's going on.
I don't know what happened. I don't know the reason
for all of the arrest and what's going on. But
all I know is that when you're walking in and
(14:32):
open heaven, you are directed by the Lord.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
And he told me to pray for that man.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And that man did not stop at anyone else's gate
or anyone else's home when everyone else was also outside.
But he he was led to my house and the
Lord spoke to me to pray over him. And that
is how we should always live our lives. And I
love being used by the Lord. I love when we
(14:58):
listen and when we pay attention, and that is available
to every one of us when we just tune into
the Holy Spirit. You know, he could have just stopped
at my gate and we could have said nothing, and
so really you could have.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Been embarrassed because all of your neighbors were watching, you know,
and the Bible says, you know, I am not ashamed
of the Gospel, for it is the power of salvation,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So that was good that you were not ashamed.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You know, I've said this over and over again.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I said, you at you live a while, I think
I don't really care what anyone else thinks.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I only care about what God thinks.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And that is such a freedom in that, because you know,
people will judge you and say things negatively about you,
and it's like they don't know me, And so God
knows me.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He knows my heart. Do I mess up all the time? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Are we still just always human beings? But God knows
my heart and he knows I want to do better
every single day. And that when you the closer you
get to the Lord, the more he will give you,
the more he will use you, the more he will
create that open heaven that you can walk in his anointing.
You know, we're to go heal, We're to go lay hands,
(16:11):
We're to pray for the sick, pray for all these things.
We are we are the open heaven. When we get
into an agreement with God. Isn't that just so cool?
What we get to do?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
It is, and there are so many especially right now.
You know, this just seems like almost like the beginning
of sorrows, you know, and I'm sure there have been
other times in history.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Where it felt that way to people.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We've really lived our lives in a really blessed time
when you think about it, We've we've lived under Van
Vernet been a blessing, especially in the church, to the
point where it's almost difficult for anyone that's actually in
the church to know what persecution is. But as we've
(16:57):
said before on this program, I think we're about to
find doubt because you're going to have to be where
you're not ashamed of the Gospel.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
To live under an open heaven. You are going to
have to stand for Jesus.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't care if you lose your family, if your
kids look at you and think you're crazy, if you
lose your job. You're going to have to stand for
Jesus in these times. It is so important that you
hold up this word and raise up a standard against
this evil. And we'll talk more about it when we
(17:32):
come back.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
The world needs to be reached with the message of Jesus,
and that is the mission of grace. Grace with Nina

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You are watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle, and
we are talking about an open heaven and creating an
open heaven and another way is for asking the Lord
to open your eyes. The Bible says, I am sending
you to them to open their eyes and to turn
them from darkness to light and from power of Satan
(18:57):
to God. That's an ax that's twenty six, verse seventeen.
You know, we can ask God to open our spiritual
eyes so that we can see what God has for us.
There's sometimes when you're looking at something as just a
human being and you're looking at things naturally, you might
not be able to see a way out. You can't
(19:18):
see how God could possibly fix this. But we have
to take the limits off of God and remember who
he is. You know, miracles were his idea. This is
not about you God. When you relinquish it all and
when you have come to the end of yourself and
you just pray for God to open your eyes and
(19:41):
open the heavens and to send the miracle that you
need today, when you believe that and you can literally
get it in your mind's eye, see it first, get
a vision for what it looks like for you to
be healed, or for you to walk in freedom of
anxiety or fear, or walk in peace, whatever it is.
(20:02):
You first see yourself free. You have to literally take
the chains off of your mindset and ask the Lord
to give you a spiritual eyesight and a new vision,
a vision for an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And talking about vision, you know people have some people
that I know, they get poster boards and they put
pictures up of things that they're praying about so that
they can keep it before them, Like the Bible says,
write down the vision so that the people may run
with it. And I think that's so important. You know,
we need to submit our visions to God. We need
(20:39):
to be humble and obey him, make sure that we
are abiding in his word. But I would encourage you know,
the Bible talks about how you know you close the door.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You don't, You're not like a pharisee.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Don't be praying all your prayers in front of people
to impress them, because the.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Bible says that's about it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's all the reward going to get is the people going, Oh,
very cool, they can really pray. Who cares shut the
door to your whatever room, close it, Get face down
before God, kneel before the Lord your maker. Call upon
the name of the Lord. Ask in reverential fear, submit yourself.
(21:19):
Ask him that if you have any aught in your heart,
any unforgiveness.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That he will show you.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
If you need to get on the phone and call
somebody and ask them for forgiveness, do that. Make sure
you're walking in forgiveness. Make sure you're all clear with everyone,
and go before the Lord in boldness, infervency, and ask seek, knock,
keep standing and keep believing. And I believe then that's
(21:46):
when the door's open, because all of Heaven is just
waiting to answer those mighty prayers. Because it doesn't matter
if you're a Billy Graham or a Pat Robertson or
whoever you are. God is no respector of persons. When
you stand before the Lord, you stand there covered by
(22:08):
the precious sacrifice that Jesus made on that cross. So
you can go boldly right there in your closet, right
there where you are, no matter where you are.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And another way is God wants us to open our hearts.
You know, so many of the people who are stuck
and in such bondage have such a.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Closed off heart. Maybe they've been hurt in church, or
they've been hurt in.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Ministry in some way, or you know, you just are
closed off, and you believe that the things of God
are just not for you, and it's not true. But
the Bible says the veil is upon their heart. The
veil shall be taken away. We all with open face
beholding as in a glass. The glory of the Lord
(22:54):
are changed into the same image, from glory to glory.
An open face reflects an open heart.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
And we have to keep.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Our face on the Lord, our eyes on the Lord.
We have to open our hearts.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
There's a scripture this has created me.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
A clean heart, O Lord, And I say this all
the time because I guess I have my Catholic upbringing,
you know, so I'm always thinking I'm doing something wrong,
and I hate that scripture that talks about grieving the
Holy Spirit. So I always say, Lord created me a
clean heart. Whatever it is, a repent of all things
(23:32):
known and unknown, and open your heart to the Lord.
He has so much in store for you. And we're
going to see God move under an open heaven.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Michelle, you want to start praying.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, yeah, let's pray. Lord.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We thank you for every person that is listening or
watching wherever they are in the world. We ask you Father,
you are omnipresent, So that means you are right there
with film, and that means that the can open up
right over them, Lord and change their life.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
We ask you for a shift.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
In the heaven leaves over each and every person listening today.
We ask you that as they cry out to you,
Jesus that Lord, that you will hear from heaven, and
that you will pour out a blessing.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
More than they can hold.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Most of all, that they, if they do not know you, Lord,
that they will believe that you are. You are the
only way to Heaven. You are the way, the truth,
and the life.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
And so God, we ask.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You in Jesus name, that they would give their heart
to you right now, and that God, that you will
bless them more than they can ask or think, and
pour out a blessing that just seems impossible even now,
in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (24:43):

we just know that God has so much in store
for each and every one of you. There are good
things ahead and we're just going to believe God for it.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Send us to prayer request.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
We are so eager to pray with you, and we
get into an agreement with what y'all need. God's favor
on your life is all we're going to declare this year,
and we're going to see it come to pass.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Amen, And we're going to believe that this year you
are going to live under an open heaven. And one
way that you may get in there and get into
a deeper relationship with the Lord is Nina has written
two books, one hundred Days with God and one hundred
Days with God too, and you can get those on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
So just know that we would.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Love for you to order those and I believe that
it will deepen your relationship with the Lord.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And a portion of the book goes to our orphans.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Promise that we really do have a heart to help
the orphans, and you guys have to stay tuned. There
is an exciting message from our dear friend Darryl Youngblood.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He is bringing in the word and you don't want
to miss it.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
He's got such an exciting and a powerful ministry. You
gotta stay tuned, don't miss it. We love y'all, God
bless you, love you?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Does science disprove God?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Is there a war between science and faith?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
We don't need God to create a universe.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
There's no evidence for God and it's irrational?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Is there no evidence for God?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Am I delusional? For my beliefs?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It is delusional and stupid? Am I brainwashed?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Do I ignore reason?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Logic, critical thinking? Science?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Our dof logic and reasoning. RDIOF has empowered my sons
to defend their faith with facts. If you want to
be equipped to defend against the biggest objections, the existence
of God, our dof is the place for you. Has
science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science?
(27:20):
If you want to be equipped to respond to these
claims and more, check out rdiof dot org.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Incredibly compelling, yet easily understand the way. We believe in rationality,
we believe in reason, we believe in science, and we
believe in the existence of God.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I would leave every event with a mind boggling on assurance.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I never believed in God, I just think it was craziness.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
AUDIOF confirmed my faith, Rdof confirmed, my fo beliefful faith
and Lord.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Man, the appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
The lights, the crowd, the videos.
