Sound of Freedom Part 3

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.

Tonight I'm here to talk about The Sound of Freedom, Part three, and

yes, I feel that this is a very important topic. I hope since

I mentioned it in part one. I hope that by now you have seen

the movie The Sound of Freedom. This is a great movie, an important

movie that every American should see. So if you haven't seen it, please

make a way to see it. I have been talking about the Sound of

Freedom for the last two weeks, mainly focused on our children. Tonight I

want to switch gears and just addressed freedom in our nation and ask the question,

is this the Land of the Free? Two of our nation's most prominent

songs, The Star Spangled Banner, as I mentioned in the one program,

and My Country Tis of Thee better known as America, both have lyrics suggesting

that we are a free nation. The Star Spangled Banner says we are the

Land of the Free, and America says calls us sweet land of liberty.

Growing up in America, there would be no discussion or argument at the time

I grew up that those statements were true. But now twenty twenty three,

is that still true? Is it still true that we are the sweet land

of liberty and we are the land of the free when free speech is constantly

censored? The answer is probably not. I don't think we can. I

don't know about you, but it's very hard for me to grasp the idea

that our speech is being censored. When you've spent gosh seven decades living as

a free person, being able to express yourself freely, and suddenly you realize

that your speech is censored, that is hard to swallow. There are daily

instances of people being canceled or censored just because they speak the truth. We

become a culture that says this, tell me a lie, I'll love it.

Tell me the truth, and I'll spit on it. There have been

insidious forces working to change who we are as a nation. It started to

peek out from under the covers with Barack Obama. He said, if you

remember, in his initial campaign, he said he was bringing hope and change.

Little did we realize what he meant by change. It was to change

us from a Christian nation to a socialist Marxist nation. But you see,

we didn't see it coming. We didn't. We didn't see all the little

red flags. Now, his wife, Michelle became more outspoken about how she

hated this nation and how racist we were. Yet, gosh, she has

absolutely no problem living in a twenty million dollar mansion on Martha's vineyard. Since

Biden became president, Barack Obama engineers everything the Biden regime does from his eight

thousand, two hundred square foot home in Washington, d C. Yes,

just less than two miles from the White House. Joe Biden is just doing

what he's told to do. Every executive order, it seems from the White

House has ushered in this Marxist regime. And we have a Department of Justice

and Homeland Security who are complicit. Think about this, the Department of Homeland

Security. Department of Homeland Security. When you hear that, it initially makes

you think they're the good guys, right, I mean Homeland Security. But

no, no, they're not spending their time thinking about how to keep we

the people secure from our enemies. Oh goodness, No, that's a lie.

They have an agenda to do the opposite, to make us more vulnerable

to our enemies. Now scratch your head and say, how could that possibly

be true? I know it doesn't seem plausible. Yet how many times on

the evening news of only Conservative It is never shown, never ever ever shown

on any liberal network, But on Conservative News you will see thousands and thousands

of people from all over the world crossing our southern border for the last two

and a half years, many our vigilantes, drug traffickers, sex traffickers,

and those who have nefarious intentions. Yet the head of Homeland Security tells US

and Congress that our border is secure, secure, wide open border, wide

open, wide open means anyone at any time can just walk into our country.

Can you explain to me how that is secure. When a nation becomes

lawless, freedom is being eroded. In the summer of twenty twenty, we

all watch cities burn and protester smash windows and loot and be extremely violent and

tear down statues. Yet the government called it peaceful protests. The Apostle Paul

and the Book of Timothy said lawlessness will abound in the last days, and

we are watching it. I mean sometimes we've watched it, like live right

in front of our eyes. We see tyranny in the justice system sending eighty

thousand IRS agents to go knock on people's doors and harass people. It really

doesn't feel like sweet land of liberty to me. I'm not sure how you

feel. During COVID the lockdowns, churches were told to shut down. They

weren't essential, but liquor stores were. How does that make any sense?

Churches are the last kind of like the last line of defense. I mean,

churches are there to help people. Liquor stores are there to destroy people.

Yet liquor stores are essential and churches are not. Freedom to worship was

strangled. And then the churches that refused to shut down. Oh yes,

the California governor said you're not allowed to sing. Honest to goodness. I

began to laugh. I thought, I've I've heard at all. You see,

there are two things about our constitution that provides us with that provides us

as American citizens, the freedom to speak our convictions, freedom of speech,

and the freedom to worship. That's our right as American citizens. But more

and more and more conservative Christian voices are censored. Are shut up Land of

the Free. I hear the voices who are crying out for freedom. Enslaved

children caught in the sex trade must cry out on a daily basis, how

deep their pain calls out to us, tiny voices hoping one day someone will

hear, and someone will care. Think about those who are enslaved to drugs

and alcohol. Many people enslave to alcohol, Well, they live a pretty

normal life. You know, they're your next door neighbor. Huh, they're

the person sitting next to you in church. But let me tell you something.

People who are enslaved to drugs and alcohol, Well, their cries are

silent. We don't hear their hope for a different way of life. But

if you examined the core of their heart, you would find their voices crying

out to be free. Oh you would. They want to be at peace,

They want to be whole. They don't want to be sad and have

the burden of this emotional pain that they use alcohol and drugs to soothe.

Millions of voices in our nation are being silenced, either through censorship or enslavement.

Yes, we are a shackled nation, not a sweet land of liberty.

Are there people trying to make a difference, Oh yeah, there are.

There are dedicated people like Tim Ballard, and his operation Underground Railroad,

which they help to free children from the sex trait. That's what the Sound

of Freedom movie is all about. That's why I'm encouraging you to see the

movie. But Tim Ballard is not alone. There are many ministries that are

working to help children as well. Last week I mentioned the conservative activist group

Moms for Liberty. They currently have chapters in almost not almost fifty states.

They clearly state that they are activists and they believe power belongs to the people.

This is what they state from their website. It says, Moms for

Liberty welcomes all that have a desire to stand up for parental rights at all

levels of government. Our founders are Tiffany and Tina moms on a mission to

stoke the fires of liberty. As former school board members, they witnessed how

shortsighted and destructive policies directly hurt children and families. Now they are using their

first hand knowledge and experience to unite parents who are ready to fight those that

stand in the way of liberty. Their mission, Moms for Liberty, is

dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating, and empowering

parents. To defend their parental rights at all levels of government. Their vision

Americans empowered and thriving in a culture of liberty, their values as joyful warriors.

We stand for truth, we build relationships, we empower others. And

so that is awesome. And I love that there are groups out there that

are doing something great, and they are doing a great work. But let

me tell you, Moms for Liberty are hated, hated by the liberals and

the Democrats. Now, I want to give you a perfect example of censorship.

I put in I googled Moms for Liberty because I wanted to get to

their website. I could not find their website, but twelve other websites came

up, all that had articles crucifying this conservative group trying to stand up for

our children, and I mean crucifying. I had to ask a friend to

send me the website, which is Moms for Liberty dot org. Just so

you have that, Moms for Liberty all one word dot org. Again,

is this the land of the free? I don't think so. Who has

bewitched us? That's the question Paul asked the Galatians in chapter three. He

said, oh, foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not

obey the truth. Paul was concerned that they thought they could be made perfect

by the flesh instead of by the spirit of Christ. It's a matter of

believing by faith, just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to

him for righteousness. Paul goes on in Chapter four of Galatians discussing the two

covenants. So I'm going to read from Chapter four of Galatians, Verses twenty

one through thirty one. Paul writes, tell me, you, who desire

to be under the law, do not bear the law. For it is

written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bond woman, the

other by a free woman. But he who was of the bond woman was

born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise.

Which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants, the one from

Mount Sinai, which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar. For this

Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem, which now is

and is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free,

which is the mother of us all. For it is written rejoice, o'baron

you who do not bear break forth and shout you who are not in labor,

For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was our children of promise, but as

he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according

to the spirit. Even so it is now, nevertheless, what does the

scripture say, cast out the bond woman and her son. For the son

of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.

So, then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but

of the free Paul makes it clear, as believers, we are of children

of promise. We are of the bond woman, the free woman. Rather,

we are free We're not children of the bondwoman. Then he goes on

to say in Chapter five of Galatians, starting with verse one, he says,

stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,

and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Indeed, I,

Paul say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you

nothing. So again Paul makes it clearer that we don't want to be tangled,

entangled again with the yoke of bondage of any kind. Now Here in

Galatians, he's talking about being caught up under the law versus under the new

Covenant with Jesus, where we are under the covenant of freedom, and so

that's what he's talking about. But he's also saying that, you know,

there's many kind of bondages here, there's many kind of yokes we can get

entangled again under Jesus came to set us free, and there is something about

being free that is very inviting. We know that Satan, who kept us

in darkness prior to being born again, likes to keep people shackled in their

bodies and in their minds. That's what he does. But we have the

mind of Christ as believers. We have Christ's mind, and his mind is

not bound to sin or darkness. His mind is full of freedom and light.

He has given us a free will. Jesus is not a slave master

like Satan. We have the freedom to make choices. Let's live like true

sons and daughters of God. Let's not be entangled again with a yoke of

bondage. The sound of freedom is calling out from our city streets. It's

calling out from our schools, it's calling out from our homes. Do you

hear their voices? Will you respond to their desperate cries? As Christians,

we know what it means to be truly free. We should want that for

everyone. We have been set free from the bondage of sin and sin,

Paul says, no longer has dominion over us. We have been made free.

Now does that mean we are totally free from everything when we get born

again. No, Sometimes we're still enslave two different sins. Sometimes we're still

struggling with depression, bipolar disease, physical ailments, addictions. But sin no

longer has that same dominion over us. And now we have the power of

Christ living inside of us. And we can by studying scripture, through prayer,

through being discipled, we can learn to become unshackled from whatever has enslaved

us. And that is such, that is such a wonderful gift that Jesus

Christ has given us. So when he shed his blood on the cross,

Yes, he came to set us free from sin. He came to set

us free from everything that shackles us. Now we all come with a lot

of baggage when we come to Christ, we're coming bringing all of that garbage

that we have collected over a lifetime, and sometimes it takes some time to

dispose of the garbage. There are people I've seen people set free and delivered

like overnight from drugs, alcohol, sex, and that's amazing. How God

does that. I mean, these people are just immediately set free. And

other people it takes time. It takes that discipleship. It takes the one

on one with a mentor working with the person to help them, you know,

understand, you see, Discipleship is all about learning how to live life

not under a yoke of bondage of sin, but how to live life under

the free blood of Jesus Christ. And that takes time, but we can

get there. We have hope. Where people who don't know Christ have zero

hope, we have hope. We have hope of an eternal future with our

King of Kings and Lord of lords. He has given us an incredible gift.

I think sometimes we don't appreciate, we don't think about the gift of

life that He has given us. It is a gift of life, you

see, because under before Christ, we were under we were under the sentence

of death. We were under the sentence of death, and had we died

under that sentence of death, then we would be eternally separated from him.

But now He's given us the gift of life, eternal life with him,

and that's incredible. So while we are on this side of heaven, living

in this fleshly body, we have an opportunity to be able to walk free.

As Paul said that we don't have to have we can stand fast.

Therefore, in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, we can

stand fast. Not maybe we can stand fast in the liberty by which Christ

has made us free, and we don't have to be entangled again with a

yoke of any kind of bondage at all. We were born of the freewoman.

We are free. We're not subject to a slave master. That is

great news. So I'm ending the Sound of Freedom series. But next week
