  1. Good evening. Welcome to Voice in the Wilderness. I'm Don

  2. Noble of Pure Heart Ministries, and I welcome you today

  3. with exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy. I received quite a

  4. surprise recently in the mail someone anonymously sent me a

  5. financial seed that will pay for November and part of December.

  6. I mentioned the last three weeks that I was going

  7. off the air due to lack of financial support from

  8. my listeners, and that I never hear from you. You see,

  9. if you have never been on the radio, it's really

  10. a different animal because I never see my audience and

  11. I have absolutely no idea who is listening to me.

  12. The few people that have sent finances and written a

  13. note to me are the only ones I know that listen.

  14. That leaves me to come to a conclusion since there

  15. have been no emails or notes in the mail, or

  16. no financial support, I probably should select another outlet. So

  17. this was not a gimmick. It was a reality that

  18. came to the forefront. So I need to make a decision,

  19. and I certainly do think the anonymous donor, who was

  20. exceedingly generous, This is my humble request if you would

  21. like me to stay on the air. I'm asking you

  22. to please let me know, either by email or by

  23. regular mail, if you can plant a financial see that

  24. would be much appreciated. I'll give it to the end

  25. of November to make my final decision. Now to tonight's program.

  26. I've titled Tonight's program Integrity Counts. But I want to

  27. share something lighthearted because we've been kind of under this

  28. cloud of assault from all the media. You know, newspapers, Facebook, x,

  29. you name it, newspapers, television ads, radio ads. So I

  30. thought i'd make you chuckle to begin with. Yesterday, the

  31. clocks were turned back an hour, which I love. Daylight

  32. saving time, and it's called daylight saving time. It's not

  33. daylight saving time, although everybody says that, including me. Ben Franklin, oh,

  34. the great genius that he was, wrote in seventeen eighty

  35. four the earliest known proposal to quote save end quote daylight.

  36. Called an economical Project, it was whimsical in tone, advocating

  37. laws to compel citizens to rise at the crack of

  38. dawn to save the expense of candlelight. This is what

  39. he wrote. And before even say that, you know, just

  40. to think for a moment what it would be like

  41. to live with just candlelight, no electricity, just candlelight. Oh.

  42. I can honestly say I would not want to go

  43. back to those days. But this is what he wrote.

  44. Every morning, as soon as the sun rises, let all

  45. the bells in every church be set ringing, And if

  46. that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in every

  47. street to wake the sluggards. Effectually oblige a man to

  48. rise at four a m. And it is probable that

  49. he will go willingly to bed at eight in the evening.

  50. Oh that Ben Franklin. Let's fire cannons, they'll wake every

  51. one up. I like that slogan. Let's fire cannons toill

  52. wake every one up. You know, if that's what it

  53. would take to wake up American citizens to the plight

  54. of our nation, I would fire those cannons right now.

  55. I just recently read that Gerald President Gerald Ford's daughter.

  56. President Gerald Ford's daughter is voting for Kamala. Now, President

  57. Gerald Ford, if you don't recall, was a Republican president.

  58. So his daughter is voting for Kamala because she said

  59. Kamala has so much integrity. Whow that is not only laughable,

  60. it's delusional. Now, Gerald Ford's son the brother of this

  61. woman's the sister. On the other hand, he and his

  62. grandson are voting for Trump. To him, it was so

  63. obvious because he lives in San Diego, a border city.

  64. Asked what he thought his father, the former president would say,

  65. the son was quick to reply, he would vote for

  66. Donald Trump. Now, the irony of his sister claiming such

  67. integrity for Comala was this President Gerald Ford's aircraft carrier,

  68. the U. S. S. Gerald R. Ford. The motto is

  69. integrity at the helm. I find that prophetic. Newsflash, we

  70. have not had integrity at the helm of this administration

  71. in any form, be it the Department of Justice, the

  72. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, the Central Intelligence Agency,

  73. the IRS, and certainly no zero integrity in the White House.

  74. There is probably no other prophet in the Old Testament

  75. who suffered so much for shouting the truth from the rooftops.

  76. Jeremiah was emotionally and physically assaulted by his enemies, the

  77. people of God. Yes, it was the people of God

  78. that were enemies of Jeremiah. They refused to listen to

  79. his warnings about their future, and he wept over God's

  80. people because their hearts were so hardened. Jeremiah was a

  81. man of integrity. He obeyed the Lord's commands, even to

  82. his own sorrow and detriment, trying desperately to keep God's

  83. people from going into captivity, which did not happen because they,

  84. as you know, went into Babylonian captivity. They mocked him,

  85. they scorned him, and at one point Jeremiah said he

  86. wished he had died at birth. I mean, that just

  87. rips it my heart to think that a person devotes

  88. their life. I mean, he's devoted his life to speak

  89. God's word, God's truth, to shine a light, to let

  90. the people of God know what the truth was. Where

  91. they were in their spiritual walk, which was full of idolatry,

  92. full of sin. And what did he get out of it?

  93. I mean, he said, Jeremiah said in his book Jeremiah fifteen,

  94. verse ten, he said, I am hated everywhere where I go.

  95. Oh my, that is sad. Nobody wants to be hated, nobody.

  96. I mean, we live in a culture now where people

  97. just to not be hated will say things that they

  98. don't even believe in, but they don't want to be disliked,

  99. and they don't want to be bullied, so they go along.

  100. To go along, But not Jeremiah, not this prophet baby.

  101. He said what God told him to say. Period. At

  102. one point, the Lord told Jeremiah to no longer intercede

  103. for the people. Can you imagine God tells him stop

  104. praying for these people. So I want you to listen

  105. to what the Lord said to Jared Jeremiah. I'm going

  106. to be reading out of the New Living trans Translation NLT,

  107. and we're in the Book of Jeremiah chapter fourteen. I'll

  108. be reading verses eleven through twenty two, So if you

  109. want to follow. Then the Lord said to me, do

  110. not pray for these people anymore. When they fast, I

  111. will pay no attention. When they present their burnt offerings

  112. and grain offerings to me, I will not accept them. Instead,

  113. I will devour them with war, famine, and disease. Then

  114. I said, oh, Sovereign Lord, their prophets are telling them

  115. all is well, no war or famine will come. The

  116. Lord will surely send you peace. Then the Lord said,

  117. these are telling lies in my name. I did not

  118. send them or tell them to speak. I did not

  119. give them any messages. They prophesy of visions and revelations

  120. they have never seen or heard. They speak foolishness made

  121. up in their own lying hearts. Therefore, this is what

  122. the Lord says. I will punish these lying prophets, for

  123. they have spoken in my name, even though I never

  124. sent them. They say that no war or famine will come,

  125. but they themselves will die by war and famine. As

  126. for the people to whom they prophesy, their bodies will

  127. be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of

  128. famine and war. There will be no one left to

  129. bury them. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. All will be gone,

  130. for I will pour out their own wickedness on them. Now, Jeremiah,

  131. say this to them night and day. My eyes overflow

  132. with tears. I cannot stop weeping for my virgin daughter,

  133. My precious people has been struck down and lies morally wounded.

  134. If I go out into the fields, I see the

  135. bodies of people slaughtered by the enemy. If I walk

  136. the city streets, I see the people who have died

  137. of starvation. The prophets and priests continue with their work,

  138. but they don't know what they're doing. Lord, have you

  139. completely rejected Judah? Do you really hate Jerusalem. Why have

  140. you wounded us past all hope of healing. We hoped

  141. for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a

  142. time of healing, but found only terror. Lord, we confess

  143. our wickedness and that of our ancestors too. We all

  144. have sinned against you for the sake of your reputation. Lord,

  145. do not abandon us, Do not disgrace your own glorious throne.

  146. Remember us, and do not break your covenant with us.

  147. Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain?

  148. Does it fall from the sky by itself? No? No,

  149. you are the one, Oh, Lord, our God. Only you

  150. can do such things. So we will wait for you

  151. to help us. I want to read that last verse,

  152. verse twenty two. I want to read that out of

  153. the amplified Classic version, it says this, are there any

  154. among the false gods of the nation who can cause rain?

  155. Or can the heavens of their own will give showers?

  156. Are you alone not? He? O Lord, our God? Therefore

  157. we will wait expectantly for you, for you have made

  158. all these things, the heavens and the rain. Wow. I mean, well,

  159. let me just say this, How haughty have we become?

  160. How prideful? How arrogant have we become, folks. We need

  161. to humble ourselves. We need God in our own personal lives,

  162. and our nation needs God. The Lord told Jeremiah to

  163. separate the vile from the precious. At a recent Kamala

  164. Harris rally, two young men shouted, Jesus is Lord and

  165. he is king. Kamala quickly replied, you at the wrong rally.

  166. Her true motives were exposed. All of Jeremiah's prophetic ministry

  167. was really to separate the vile from the precious. And

  168. don't you know that that's exactly what the Lord is

  169. doing in us personally and in our nation. At the

  170. same time. God wants to separate the vile from the precious.

  171. He wants to rid our lives of anything that's vile,

  172. anything in everything that's vile, because He's bringing us into

  173. a place of holiness. You watch and see what happens

  174. in twenty twenty five. The body of Christ is gonna

  175. the whole thing is gonna shift. It's the body of

  176. Christ is really gonna come together, and the Body of

  177. Christ is going to begin I mean I'm talking the

  178. majority of the Body of Christ is going to begin

  179. to separate the vow from the precious Yeah. So it

  180. really exposed Kamala's real motives. You're at the wrong rally.

  181. You need to be at the one down the street.

  182. She said. Hmm. You see, Jeremiah endured intense persecution really

  183. just because of his boldness for God. And he was bold,

  184. I mean he shouted it from the rooftops. The people.

  185. God's people not only launched verbal attacks against Jeremiah, they

  186. plotted to kill him. Then he was put on trial,

  187. and he would have received the death penalty, but he

  188. was spared because an official happened to intervene on his behalf. Now,

  189. Donald Trump is certainly no profit, but he has stood

  190. for what is right. And I remind you, I remind you,

  191. remind you, remind you of James four seventeen. It says,

  192. if you know to do what is right and you

  193. don't do it, it is sin that goes for you,

  194. and it goes for me, and it goes that scripture.

  195. We can relate that scripture to things in our home,

  196. things with our family, things with our neighbors, things in

  197. the workplace, whatever, in the church. If we know to

  198. do what is right and we don't do it, it

  199. is sin. Donald Trump has been vilified, put on trial,

  200. not just once, multiple times, and there have been two

  201. plots to kill him. Both were unsuccessful. Fortunately, now I'm

  202. reminding Christians, Donald Trump is not running for the lead

  203. pastor of a church, so stop pointing your finger at

  204. him in your self righteous behavior. He's a man fallible

  205. like all of us, but he is someone who wants

  206. to bring back everything that is good about America. I

  207. am so tired of hearing the lies that come out

  208. the Harris campaign. I heard I Every time I hear

  209. these lies, I just want to scream. This man we

  210. lived under the four years. Did you forget he wanted

  211. to do good for all the citizens. He didn't he

  212. didn't choose and pick. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna okay

  213. this race over here, I'm gonna help them more. Uh No,

  214. I like this race better, not at all even playing field.

  215. He wanted to help every American citizen, and you know

  216. that we've lived under it. So please don't set this

  217. vote out. Please don't cross your arms and say I

  218. can't vote. He doesn't hold to my standards. Realize, just realize,

  219. Just sit back, take a deep breath, and realize the

  220. democratic agenda. I told you this last week. I'm gonna

  221. tell you again because tomorrow is November fifth, election day.

  222. What did they do? They removed God from their agenda.

  223. They want nothing to do with God. Get God out

  224. of this at all costs. I mean that should be

  225. you know, even if you didn't know that, you can

  226. see it in all the things that they have done.

  227. I mean, look at all the people that have stood

  228. up for life, legally stood up for life at these

  229. abortion clinics, and the DOJ came handcuffed him, put him

  230. in prison. It's outrageous, it's egregious, it's it's unspeakable. So

  231. I'm gonna remind you again. A vote for Kamala Harris

  232. is a vote for anti Christ, an anti christ agenda.

  233. She's shown you who she is. How people think that

  234. she's a person of integrity like Gerald Ford's daughter is

  235. beyond me. Listen. They want nothing to do with the

  236. Ten Commandments. They want nothing. They do not want prayer

  237. reinstituted in schools. They do not want prayer at abortion clinics,

  238. even if you're within the prescrib prescribed boundaries. No, no,

  239. let's let mills of the illegal aliens into our country,

  240. many of which you are murders, rapists, mentally ill and

  241. do very heinous things, and have already done heinous things

  242. and killed people, killed our citizens. How about this? How

  243. about this? You want to vote for Kamala, Let's kill

  244. babies at full term? Can you live with yourself if

  245. you vote for the Democratic choice for president? Can you

  246. really lay your head on your pillow at night as

  247. a born again believer in Christ and have peace in

  248. your mind and heart? There is no greater time to

  249. be awake spiritually. Listen. I'm not about disparaging people, but

  250. i have to make it clear to you. I have

  251. to make the distinctions between these two people running for

  252. the highest office in our nation. And I'm pleading with you,

  253. those of you who refuse to vote, we could win

  254. this thing if you voted. Yeah, if all the millions

  255. and I mean millions of Christians who plan to sit

  256. at home and not vote, we could win this election easily,

  257. hands down. So I'm going to plead with you and

  258. pray that those of you who refuse to vote, I'm

  259. asking you to please rethink your position. I'm just asking

  260. you to rethink your position. I'm really not trying to

  261. give you a hard time, but I am trying to

  262. make it clear biblically. That's my calling. I'm gonna be

  263. like Jeremiah. I'm gonna be bold as a line. I'm

  264. gonna tell you the truth according to God's truth. It's

  265. not my truth, it's not my opinion. I'm standing firm

  266. on God's word and I'm just asking you to rethink

  267. your position. America needs your vote. So I'll close with this,

  268. God bless the citizens, every citizen of this great nation.

  269. God shed your grace on us. Let's make that city

  270. on the hill shine one more time with God's glory. Amen. Well,
