My Rock & My Strength

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

Noble of Pure Heart Ministries, and I welcome you today

with exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy. Last week I shared

the sad news that I am going off the air

and that will be either the end of November or

the end of December, and it's for sure. So I'm

very sad to give you that news. But I just

have not received the financial support that I need to

stay on the radio, so I had to make this

hard decision. I still don't know what platform I'm going

to be on, and so that's up in the air

at the moment. Anyway, my title tonight is my rock

and my strength. We are two weeks away from an

election that could change America forever. I grew up during

the best of America and it's hard to imagine that.

Sadly much has changed, and not for the good now.

I'm not a pessimist, as most of you know if

you've listened to me. I believe things can turn around,

but many, many people, including Christians, are full of anxiety

about what may happen if the godless agenda wins again.

But does that really change anything? For those of us

who love Christ. This scripture came to me this morning

while I was in the kitchen, and it came so

strong to me. And I haven't even heard this scripture

in such a long time. But it's from Psalm twenty

verse seven, and it says some trust in and boast

of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust

in and boast of the name of the Lord, our God. Basically,

it's saying that there are those who put their trust

in the government technology and also put their trust in

the strength of flesh to handle the state of affairs

of our nation. But no, not us, not us. We

believers will trust in and we're going to boast of

the Lord and the name which is above every name.

That name is the name of Jesus. I would suggest,

it's just my suggestion for the next two weeks to

keep your heart clear of what you hear in the media.

Focus on God's word. There is strength in God's word,

peace and much joy. I want to read the entire

Psalm twenty to you, So I am reading this whole evening.

I am reading out of the Amplified edition, the Amplified

Classic Edition of Scripture. This is Psalm verse twenty, written

by King David. May the Lord answer you in the

day of trouble. May the name of the God of

Jacob set you up on high and defend you. Send

you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh and strengthen

you from Zion. Remember all your offerings and accept your

burnt sacrifice see Lah, pause and think of that. May

He grant you to your heart's desire and fulfill all

your plans. We will shout in triumph at your salvation

and victory, and in the name of our God, we

will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all

your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed.

He will answer him from his holy heaven with the

saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in and

boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will

trust in and boast of the name of the Lord,

our God. They are bowed down and fallen, but we

are risen and stand upright. O, Lord, give victory. Let

the King answer us when we call. David is bringing

much encouragement to us. The Lord is going to grant

your heart's desire and will fulfill all your plans. That

right there, because all of us, all of us have

things in our heart that we desire for the for

the Lord to fulfill. We have plans, things that we

maybe haven't even shared with anyone, that are just deep

down inside that we want to see come to pass.

And David is saying God is going to grant those

desires and he will fulfill all of our plans. That

is a promise that you and I can stand on.

In fact, it's going to be so good. We're going

to shout in triumph at our victory. That's pretty exciting.

The Lord will answer his anointed, that's us. The Lord

will answer his anointed from his holy heaven. How you

might ask, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Those who trust in the flesh of man or beast

are bound down and fallen. But look at us, Look

at us. We are risen. David said, we are risen,

and we stand upright. That means, no matter what, we

are the righteous, no matter we have a covenant with

Almighty God, and we're standing. O. Lord, give victory. Let

the King answer us when we call. Now, let me

follow up with this story to that specific scripture. Let

the King answer us when we call. Last Saturday, October twelfth,

twenty twenty four, there were roughly two hundred and fifty thousand,

mostly women and some men, from all over our nation,

in Washington, d C. For a ten hour prayer and

worship gathering on the National Mall. I was supposed to

be there, but I had injured two toes and I

knew I could not walk. There was no way that

was going to happen for me. So I live streamed it,

and with me were ten over ten million people from

all over the world who gathered to pray and worship

for our nation. Imagine people all over the world were

worshiping and praying for our nation. That's pretty astounding. It

was an ester call to pray and fast for this

nation and the election. I can tell you it was

so powerful. I think I scared my cat when I

was shouting. I think she just wondered, what in the

world is going on here. I can tell you that

there's no doubt, no doubt in my mind from what

was prayed from the agreement in prayer. Imagine you have

two hundred fifty thousand live people there, and you have

roughly ten million all over the world agreeing and prayer

and Scriptures said, is just if too agree, it's touching

anything on earth. Whatever you ask in my name, it

shall be done. And there were millions agreeing in Jesus name.

There is no doubt in my mind that things were

shifted in the spiritual realm. I don't think Washington, d c.

Will ever be the same. And I can tell you this,

no matter who wins this election, God is moving mightily.

He's moving mightily on people's hearts in our nation and

around the world. So even though things seem ugly at times,

we see a lot of negativity, we see violence, we

see hatred, just a lot of nasty things. God is

doing something so very special in this hour. This is

a grave hour, and God is moving on people's hearts.

I'm telling you now, I want to read Psalm twenty one.

King David wrote this Psalm as well, and he's writing

it well, you'll hear it, and then I'll share something here.

So this is again out of the amplified classic version

of the Bible, Psalm twenty one, written by King David.

The king shall joy in your strength, O Lord, and

in your salvation. How greatly shall he rejoice? You have

given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the

request of his lips Selah, pause and think of that,

for you send blessings of good things to meet him.

You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of you, and you gave it to him,

long life, forever and ever more. His glory is great

because of your aid, splendor, and majesty you bestow upon him.

For you make him to be blessed and a blessing forever.

You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of your presence.

For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in

the Lord. And through the mercy and steadfast love of

the most High, he will never be moved. Hand shall

find all your enemies. Your right hand shall find all

those who hate you. You will make them as if

in a blazing oven. In the time of your anger.

The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and

the fire will utterly consume them their offspring. You will

destroy from the earth, and their sons from among the

children of men. For they have planned evil against you.

They conceived a mischievous plot which they are not able

to perform. For you will make them turn their backs.

You will aim your bow of divine justice at their faces.

Be Exalted Lord in your strength. We will sing and

praise you power. So as you read this Psalm twenty one,

you need to read it as if it's written to

you like you're saying. You're saying to the Lord. Lord,

you've given me my heart's desire, and you haven't withheld

the request of my lips. Lord, you send blessings of

good things to meet me. I asked life of you,

and you've given me for life forevermore. You make me

to be blessed, and you make me a blessing forever. You, Lord,

make me exceedingly glad with the joy of your presence.

And I trust rely on and I am confident in

the Lord, and through the mercy and steadfast love of

the Most High, I will never be moved. So this

is this is up. These words that David is declaring

to the Lord are very very powerful in the spirit realm.

And he ends it with be Exalted, And you say

this to the Lord. You speak this to him, Be

Exalted Lord in your strength. I will sing and praise

your power. Amen. I'm going to encourage you with the

next few psalms. So I want to turn back to

Psalm sixteen again. This is written by David, and it says,

keep and protect me, oh God, for in you I

have found refuge. And in you do I put my

trust and hi myself. I say to the Lord, you

are my Lord. I have no good beside or beyond you.

As for the godly, the saints who are in the land,

they are the excellent, the noble, and the glorious, in

whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied.

Who choose another God their drink offerings of blood, will

I not offer or take their names upon my lips.

The Lord is my chosen, an assigned portion my cup.

You hold and maintain my lot. The lines have fallen

from me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good heritage.

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. Yes,

my heart instructs me. In the night seasons, I have

set the Lord continually before me, because he is at

my right hand. I shall not be moved. Therefore my

heart is glad, and my glory my inner self rejoices.

My body, too, shall rest and confidently dwell in safety,

for you will not abandon me To shield the place

of the dead. Neither will you suffer your holy One

to seek corruption. You will show me the path of life.

And in your presence is fullness of joy. And at

your right hand there are pleasures forever more. Oooh, these

are some really awesome scriptures. This is really These are

good things that you can declare to the Lord. You know, Lord,

you're my Lord. Look, David says, I have no good.

There's nothing good that's in me or about me, beside

or beyond you. Nothing. You Lord, are good. And David says,

you are my chosen and my assigned, my assigned portion,

my cup. You hold and maintain my lot. In other words,

you are everything. Everything in my life I can assign

to you because you maintain the situation. You hold matters

in place. You are in charge. The lines have fallen

from me in pleasant places. I have a good heritage.

So you can say that that's a promise. You can

make that declaration to the Lord. You can pray this

to the Lord. Maybe you never thought of it, or

maybe no one ever told you, but you can pray

these things, say them aloud to the Lord as prayer.

Look at this. I will bless the Lord who has

given me counsel. I mean, the Lord has I'm sure,

given you lots of counsel. And when he gives counsel,

it's good counsel. There's nothing evil or wicked or sideways

about God's counsel. His counsel is sure and steadfast. His

counsel is good. It's right. And then David says, I've

set the Lord continually before me, my heart, because he's

at my right hand, I'll not be moved. This is

saying I am focused on the Lord continually. He is.

You know, I've set him continually before me. In other words,

I'm focused on the Lord all the time. I'm not

gonna make decisions without him. He's right here, he's right

at my right hand. And it doesn't matter. See, so

it's not gonna matter who wins this election. This is

what I'm trying to get across. Because David says, because

he's at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

If God's at your right hand, if you're setting God

continually before you, it doesn't matter who's in the White House.

It has no bearing none. I know in your flesh,

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Oh yes it does,

Oh yes, it does. I'm telling you it doesn't not when,

Oh it will if you don't set the Lord before you.

It will if you don't understand that he's at your

right hand. So you have to make that determination. You

have to decide are you going to walk in the

spirit and focus on Jesus? Are you just going to

walk in your flesh? And you know, come what may.

But David makes it really clear how to handle this

because he says, I'm not going to be moved. I'm

not If Kamala Harris wins the election, which I hope

that she does not, I'm not going to be moved.

I'm not going to be happy. I am not going

to be excited. I Am not going to be thrilled

at all because I know we're in for a bad,

bad time. But that's not going to move me. It's

not going to change one iota of things. Because I

set the Lord continually before me. He's at my right hand.

I'm not going to be moved. Amen. Let's look at

Psalm twenty four. It's one of my favorite favorite psalms. Oh, David,

reate this psalm. The earth is the Lord's and the

fullness of it the world, and they who dwell in it,

for he has founded it upon the seas, and established

it upon the currents and the rivers. Who shall go

up into the mountain of the Lord, or who shall

stand in his holy place? Ah, he who has clean

hands and up pure heart, who has not lifted himself

up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully,

He shall receive blessings from the Lord, and righteousness from

the God of his salvation. This is the generation of

those who seek Him, who inquire of, and inquire of

and for him, and of necessity require him who seek

your face, O, God of Jacob see law. Lift up

your heads, oh you gates, and be lifted up, you

age abiding doors, that the King of Glory may come in.

Who is the King of Glory, the Lord Strong and mighty,

the Lord mighty in battle? Lift up your head's, O gates, Yes,

lift them up, you age abiding doors, that the King

of Glory may come in. Who is this King of Glory,

the Lord of hosts? He is the King of glory.

So there's a point here. Who shall go up to

the mountain of the Lord. Who's going to stand in

his holy place? That's a question. You can ask yourself.

I mean truly well, I would suggest you don't go

up unless you have clean hands and a pure heart,

and you haven't spoke falsehood and you haven't sworn deceitfully.

So that is where we are headed for the future.

I'll talk about that next week. This thing about who's

going to stand in his holy place, He who has

clean hands and a pure heart, He who has not

lifted himself to falsehood and lies and swearing deceitfully. No,

that person. That person is going to receive the blessing

from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

So see it again, it doesn't matter who is going

to be in the White House. We have to stop

focusing on that whole thing, and we have to understand

that we're going to focus on the Lord. We're the generation,

it says in verse six, We're the generation of those

who seek Him. We're going to be the ones who

inquire of Him, and we're inquiring for him and of

necessity require him. Yeah, let me tell you. You think

you need Jesus in this hour? Oh? I think so. So.

I think it's time to inquire of him. I think

it's time to seek him. And realize the necessity of

needing him, requiring him in your life. Huh huh hmm.

And then you know it closes. This song closes with

the lift up your head, oh you gates, that the

King of Glory may come in. This is what we want.

We want the King of Glory. We want Jesus, the

King of Glory, to come in like roll in to

the United States of America. We are inviting the King

of Lord to come in. He is mighty in battle,

he is strong and mighty, And this is a battle.

This whole election thing is a battle. This is a

battle in the spiritual realm. You're looking at it from

the natural and you're not paying attention in the spiritual realm.

This is a spiritual battle. And God is strong and mighty,

and he's mighty in battle. And we want the King

of Glory to come in. We want the Lord of Hosts.

That means the whole heavenly army comes with him when

he comes. Amen. I don't know about you. I can't

speak for you. I can speak for me. I am

inviting the King of Glory to roll in, the Lord

of Hosts and all of Heaven to come into this nation.

And let a mighty revival break out and sweep across

this nation. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Amen. Amen, Well, this is Don Noble.
