The Darkest of Times?

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

Noble of Pure Heart Ministries, and I welcome you to

day with exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy. Well, it's good

to be with you this evening. Tonight's message is a

question the darkest of times. As I sat early this

morning in my easy chair in the library room, I

had a perfect view of my flagpole. I watched Old

Glory slowly flapping in the breeze, and I wondered about

our nation, the brave men and women who stood in

the days of the American Revolution to make us free

from the tyranny of the British, the Black Robed Regiment,

the preachers and pastors who stood so bravely to help

ignite and fight in that revolution. How could we be

so far from the days of revival and awakening that

occurred several years prior to the American Revolution with the

preaching of George Whitfield. Now George Whitfield was British. He

was great friends with the Wesley Brothers who started the

Methodist movement. George Whitfield spread the Great Awakening Revival which

to helped unite the colonies prior to the Revolutionary War,

so the Lord used Whitfield to unite the colonists to

be able to fight in that war. His preaching stirred

crowds with enthusiasm. He was actually kicked out of churches,

so he began preaching outdoors to crowds as large as

twenty five thousand people. Benjamin Franklin wrote in his autobiography

that George Whitfield's voice could be heard over five hundred

feet away. Franklin said, I had the curiosity to learn

how far he could be heard by retiring backwards down

the street, and found his voice distinct until I came

near Front Street. Well, that's Benjamin Franklin. The scientists. Franklin

went on to write multitudes of all denominations attended his sermons.

It seemed as if all the world were growing religious,

so that one could not walk through the town in

an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of

every street. At a time in history when most countries

had established state religions which mandated adherents, it was novel

for Whitfield to champion in America freedom of conscience, for

people to have the opportunity to make a voluntary choice

to believe the Gospel. This controversy was called old Lights

who emphasized tradition versus New Lights who were open to

a move of the Holy Spirit. And I'd like to

add my commentary here. I disdain traditional churches that refused

to allow the move of the Holy Spirit. So I'm

in the New Lights camp. Amen Franklin printed Whitfield's journal

and sermons, and he also helped finance the building of

an auditorium for Whitfield to preach in, after which eventually

turned into the University of Pennsylvania. For over a century,

a bronze statue of George Whitfield has stood on the

University of Penn's campus in the dormitory quadrangle near where

College House. In twenty twenty, as part of the cancel culture,

the University of penn voted to remove the statue. This

tactic is called deconstruction, and it is a process of

intentionally separating a nation from its past in order to

transition into a socialist future. So we have seen over

the last couple of years during the Biden Harris administration,

we have seen this cancel culture, or this deconstruction at work,

tearing down monuments of famous people, just it's insane. Cancel

culture was part of the excuse me was part of

the French Revolution, tearing down the statue of the Good

King Henry in seventeen ninety two. Oh And they also

publicly burned the remains of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint

of Paris. In seventeen ninety three, Stalin changed the name

of Saint Petersburg in Russia to Leningrad. Mao Zedung's Cultural

Revolution destroyed numerous Chinese artifacts, including Beijing's ancient Gate of China.

And here we are in America in twenty twenty four,

with a current Marxist government swiftly moving Joe Biden out

of the picture, placing him with Kamala Harris as the

Democratic front runner after attempting to assassinate a past president

and leading candidate for the twenty twenty four election. Folks,

things are moving at warp speed so that we as

citizens don't have time to keep our footing. It's on

purpose to keep us off balance. It's a tactic of

the left. And last week I mentioned about a prophet

that I follow, that I respect, and I just recently

heard him say that he heard the Lord tell him

that the Democratic National Convention, which starts tonight, that there's

going to be something tragic, something tragic is going to occur.

So we'll see, we'll see. Now, let me tell you

how dangerous. Kamala Harris and Tim Waltzar Harris's parents were

students at Berkeley and they were very active in a

leftist black power group which was Marxist. This group supported

Castro and Jay Gavera, two men who were part of

that group, left to start the Black Panther Group, which

was a Maoist militant group. After college, Kamala moved to

San Francisco and had an affair with Willie Brown. He

was sixty and married. She was thirty years old. Now,

Willie Brown was very simpathetic to the Communist Party and

the W. E. Dubois Party was Communist and Willie Brown

surrounded himself with Communist sympathizers as late as two thousand.

The year two thousand he was still supporting Communist Party

events as well as Diane Feinstein, who empowered Communist China

in the Bay Area. But the man who really helped

Kamala Harris with her political career was a black man

who was a law student at Stanford, and this fellow

was openly a Marxist Leninist. He was a good friend

of Maya Kamala's sister, and eventually he married Susan Sandler,

a white woman from an ex extremely wealthy family. He

was able to use that wealth to start a political

action committee in two thousand and eight to get a

ten million mass voter registration of blacks and Latinos in

seventeen southern states. And that was after he met with

his good friend George Soros in Atlanta, Georgia, and they

concocted this plan. His other good friends were Nancy Pelosi

and Barack Obama, and he helped Barack Obama win the

White House in that primary against Hillary Clinton. So you

can understand why Kamala Harris didn't pick Shapiro from Pennsylvania

but Waltz from Minnesota, dream leftist just like herself, who

started he started, He started the defund police movement all

across the nation. I mean, this man is as bad

as it gets. So what a combination we have here.

I want you to go back and remember these last

few years under the Biden Harris administration with regard to Israel,

and in particular the last year when Kamala demanded just

listen to this. Kamala demanded a political state be given

to the Arab Palestinians that killed twelve hundred Jews and

are still holding hostages, some of which are Americans. And

just an fyi in case you don't remember, the one

program I had probably about a month ago, Gaza is

actually part of Israel and was given Yes, you heard

me correctly, Gaza was given to the Palestinians by Israel

in two thousand and five, and on purpose, Israel moved

to moved ten thousand Jews who had been living in

Gaza for over twenty five years. You talk about a

bad policy, You talk about a really dumb move on

Israel's part, really bad move, and they have suffered that decision.

Do you think the Gousen people were grateful to get

that land? Thankful? No, not at all. In fact, they

burned every Jewish house and all their cattle and anything

that belonged to the Jews once they moved out. When

Benjamin Netanahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, was here recently,

it was the first time that he had left Israel

since October seventh, and guess what, Kamala Harris refused to

be there. Now, the vice president is supposed to preside

over the chambers, but not this vice president. And while

Benjamin Nettunah, who was giving his speech, we had risk

protesters out there destroying our national monuments, spray them with

paint which said Hamas is coming, Death to America and

death to the Jews. Folks. This is not free speech,

this is terrorism. And what did the FBI do? Nothing? Nothing.

This was worse than January sixth, very few arrests. Nothing

was done to stop these people. So let me go

back to my original question. Is this the darkest of times?

Yes it is, Isaiah sixty said it would be. Is

there hope for our nation? Yes there is. Many people

are coming to Christ. We often don't hear the good news.

We just hear the bad news. But there is an awakening,

albeit small. But myself and many others believe the tsunami

is coming and it's not gonna matter who's in office.

It's not gonna matter what's going on on the national scene.

That thing is gonna blow up and there is gonna

be a mighty revival. You see, fear is not part

of a Christian's lifestyle. It's not part of a strategy

that we have. We don't have to fear now. I

read this in Psalm ninety one this morning. I wanted

to share this with you Versus one through Ford. It says,

in you, O Lord, I put my trust. Let me

never be put to shame. Deliver me in your righteousness

and cause me to escape. Incline your ear to me

and save me. Be my strong refuge to which I

may resort continually. You have given the commandment to save me.

For you are my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, O,

my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out

of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For

you are my hope, O Lord God, you are my trust.

From my youth. I want to turn to Hoseiah, who

is a minor prophet, and look at Chapter six, verses

one through three. Joseah, the prophet writes this, come, let

us return to the Lord. For he has torn, but

he will heal us. He has stricken, but he will

bind us up. After two days, he will revive us.

On the third day he will raise us up that

we may live in his sight. Let us know let

us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth

is established as the morning. He will come to us

like the rain, like the latter and former rain to

the earth. And I think that this is where we

need to be. This is of part of an awakening individually,

not just corporately, but individually. When he says, come, let

us return to the Lord. And that's where our nation

and we as individuals, we have to return to the Lord.

We have to come back into full relationship with him.

We need to pursue says, let us pursue the knowledge

of the Lord. In other words, be still. Remember so

I'm forty six y ten, Be still and know that

I am God. There's a knowing of God that we

need to have. And it's more than just a head

knowledge of knowing God. It's a it's a heart issue.

Do we know him in our heart? Have we come

to the Lord? Have we returned our heart to the Lord?

Because the Prophet rights, his going forth is established as

the morning, he will come to us like the rain,

like the latter and former rain to the earth. Now

that symbolic that he's coming to us like a refreshing

there's going to be a refreshing as ugly as all

this is that I just painted a picture of. And

it is ugly. I mean when I think about my

nation being so Marxist, being so all of these politicians

who have been working for years in the back round

zombs to tear down this nation. And I tell you,

on one hand, it looks like they're succeeding. But we

have to keep our footing and we have to be stable.

And you can only be stable. You can only be

stable in the Lord. Amen, you cannot stay stable if

you don't know Jesus. I'm just telling you you can't

do it. It won't happen. Fear will set in and

you'll be bouncing off the walls. So we maintain our

footing by making the Lord our refuge. Like David said,

you're my refuge, You're my fortress. I'm going to trust

in you. That's how we keep the stable footing, because,

as I mentioned last week, you're gonna need to keep

your stable footing for all that's coming down the pike

at us. I'm gonna turn to Psalm seven and share

several other scriptures with you. Uh. This is Psalm seven,

and by the way, I am reading out of the

New King James version tonight, starting with verses fourteen through seventeen.

This is David David is writing. Is he says, Behold,

the wicked brings forth iniquity. Yes, he conceives trouble and

brings forth falsehood. We're living in that day. We're living

in a system right now where the wicked are bringing

forth iniquity. Think about the Olympics opening ceremony, a gigantic

scene of the Last Supper, I mean, totally blaspheme while

a naked man painted blue, naked man is sitting in

the middle of the table of the so called Last Supper.

I mean, it doesn't get any more demonic, folks. And

then the end of the Olympics, and I watched not

an ounce of it, not And I didn't even see

these things. I just saw pictures, you know, that came

up on my phone. And of course it ended with

the picture of a devil, really grotesque picture with like

demons behind him. I mean it's almost, you know, it's

almost humorous, but it's not so. The wicked brings forth

iniquity sin. Yes, the wicked conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. Lies. Yes,

he made a pit and dug it out and has

fallen into the ditch which he made. Oh don't you

like that? I really like that, because the wicked are

making a pit, thinking and digging it out, thinking they're

going to put us in the pit. But I have

news for the wicked. It says they're going to fall

in the ditch which they have made, and their trouble

shall return upon their own head. So all the craziness

and nonsense an evil wicked that our current government has,

the Democratic Party has. They can make a pit. They

can make a pit all they want, they can make

it one hundred feet deep, and they can dig it

all out, but they're going to fall in the ditch,

and that same trouble is going to return on their

own head. Now, I know, you know, I know some

of you might be offended by me saying things about

the Democrat Party, but you have to understand that the

Democrat Party, unfortunately has been infiltrated by communists, Maoists, uh uh,

you know, Leninist, Marxist way back. Look at all these

people I'm talking about, they have all been infiltrated. No

wonder they're under that satanic blanket being blinded, being deceived. Now,

obviously I'm not talking about each individual person. You know,

of course we want everyone to be saved, but there

is a very wicked agenda that's being pushed forth. That's

what I'm against. Okay, I'm against that agenda. I'm not

against people because people are people and they don't know

Jesus and they need to know Jesus, and we want

them to know Jesus. But we'll see at this convention

what the party platform will be. Now we know in

the past couple elections, you know, they removed God, they

removed I mean, they want abortion, want you know, things

that we don't believe in. So we'll see if they

come up with some new things. But nevertheless, they've been

making a pit, they've been digging it out, and they're

going to fall in the ditch that they have made.

And the trouble, see, the trouble that they've been stirring,

is going to come down on them and their violent dealing.

Listen to this last part, and their violent dealing shall

come down on their own crown. M Well, there you

have it. What more do I need to say? Accept this.

I'm going to take us back to where we need

to be spiritually, be still and know that He is God.

Be still, quiet yourself, get yourself in a place where

you're being strengthened in your faith, in your love of God,

your love of people, being obedient to the Lord, being

obedient to his scriptures. This is going to be the

safe place. Okay, this is where we need to hang

out at least until the election, and then I'm sure

that we're going to have to stay there. I don't

think it's going to stop just because the election's over.

But nevertheless, I want you to be strengthened. I want

you to be hopeful. I want you to not walk

in fear but in faith because Jesus is your strength,

he's your fortress and so seventy one, he's your rock.

He's your rock, and that rock is not gonna move. Amen.

He's our hope. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. Amen. Amen. Well,
