SPEAKER 01 :
Welcome to Call to Freedom. It’s so good to have you join me today. A beautiful new week, and we always are expecting great and mighty things to happen. I know that you are. This is Indigenous People Day. So the banks are closed, the post office is closed. To me, growing up and old school kind of, it’s Columbus Day. It’s Columbus Day. And I really respect that wonderful discoverer who was willing to just sacrifice everything, go into his little boat and just go across the Atlantic Ocean to a new land. Oh, my goodness. It’s like I’m almost a little anxious to go across the United States and hear this man cross that big, huge ocean. So it’s not Indigenous People Day for me. It’s Columbus Day. So we celebrate that. celebrate his memory and honor him. I know a lot of people today are tearing down statues and destroying things, but there is rising up of people that say, no, we’re not going to have this any longer. We’re not going to put up with this. And if you went to the rally Saturday, then you know that thousands upon thousands of people, they should have gotten the arena, the Bronco Arena, to house the people because, oh, I guess people were standing. I know I was listening to the other sister station, Crawford, And they were saying that line after line after line from two o’clock in the morning. They were willing to stand for hours just to say, I’m here. I’m supporting President Trump. Oh, what a blessing. I believe and I hope you’re believing with me. I’m believing for an absolute victory. in the United States of America come November 5th. Now, if you haven’t, well, you’re not going to get early voting because we haven’t gotten our ballots yet. But when you get your ballots, fill them out, fill them out and pray over them. that it will get to its destination and the devil will not hinder your voting sheet, your ballot. And so if you need some more voting ballots, let me know at the end of the show. Call me at 1-877- 917-7256. I’ve got a sheet, and it may help you. You may not even agree with everything that I write down, but at least it will guide you and help you a little bit with the judges and with the amendments and the initiatives and also the TABOR increase in debt. That’s all no. No. So I hope that if you need just a little guidance, call me after the program at 1-877-917-7256. And Kimberly is almost home. She left this morning early. We prayed over each other. That’s what’s so wonderful about having a godly daughter. And I really don’t deserve that. But God has just really blessed me with two daughters that love him and they honor their mom. And I am so grateful. So she’s going to be home. And for two weeks, I rode with her in her beautiful Honda van. And I didn’t get my Highlander out of the garage for two weeks. It was terrible. It was really, I’m spoiled. It was really wonderful. I am spoiled. So we bless Kimberly. We bless her as she gets home that she can acclimate and get adjusted to being home again. And I’m going to, the Lord willing, I’m going to go to Broken Arrow for Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to that. And we were watching as we were praying yesterday around the table that She said, Mom, I want you to watch Unsung Hero. And it’s about the small bone family in Australia that came to the United States with nothing. And they have seven children. Hello. And we started watching this movie. It was beautiful because I wasn’t really enthused about it. But as I watched it, I looked over to Kimberly and I said, well, without the seven children, this is so much like our life, Kimberly. And she says, yeah, mom, that’s why I wanted you to watch this movie. So if you get a chance… watch unsung hero and you’ll find who was the unsung hero in this beautiful movie and we know that rebecca saint james came from that family and also for king and country oh my goodness the sacrifices that they went through. And yet God blessed them so mightily. I’m so grateful that we had that time together to go back and realize how good God really is. Kimberly and I, as we were watching the movie, we just said, Mom, just think what he took us through in that motorhome going across the United States. And I reminded her of the 17 cents that her father had in his pocket, and he just gave them to them for the gum machine. We were out of gas, and we were there at the church, though, in Pennsylvania. And after the weekend revival that we sang for, had enough offering to go to Xenia, Ohio, for the midweek meeting there in a church, and then also to Indiana and then up into northern part of Colorado on those last days of that trip. I am just so grateful. God is a good God. And that’s our verse for today. It’s from Nahum, Nahum 1-7. And Nahum means consolation. And both Nahum and Micah, I was reading Micah and Nahum this last weekend. These are prophets, and I don’t like to title them minor prophets. No, they’re not minor. But the books are small. The books are short, but they’re powerful. And here was the destruction of Assyria, who was a constant enemy of Israel. And Nahum in the very first chapter, at the destruction of Nineveh. And Nineveh was the capital of Assyria in which Jonah was called to warn the people. So all these little books are building up to the destruction. God is going to destroy our enemies, friends. We don’t have to be afraid. We don’t have to get up all kinds of equipment. I know I had a call this morning for security, a security thing for my home. And I said, I don’t need security. I’ve got God. And I said, thank you for calling. And I hung up because we’ve got security, friend. We’ve got a refuge. And that’s what this Nahum 1.7 talks about. And it’s in the New American Standard. The Lord is good. The Lord is a good God. He’s so good to us. Oh, friend, just look at the good things that are happening in your life. Don’t look at all the stuff that you’re not getting or all the wants that you’re not getting or the desires of your heart. because we say father god not my will but yours be done knowing that we have the confidence that he hears and answers our prayers and if he hears us we know that we have those things which we have asked of him and hopefully in my stage of life i’m asking him for the things that are going to cooperate with the word of god and be a blessing to his heart. And it says here in Nahum 1.7, the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. And he knows those who take refuge in him. He knows those that put their trust in God. That’s such a blessing to know that. So remember Nahum 1.7. This is a great scripture. I’m going to be repeating it this week. Kimberly’s going to join me. She said before she left, she says, Mom, remember, I’ll see you on Wednesday. So she enjoys you so much. And Saturday at our meeting, we just had, I don’t know if I want to use that worldly word, but we had a blast. We really did. We had a wonderful time. We dedicated a car, anointed and dedicated a car, and just had a great time of worship and praising God and praying for people. And then lunch on the patio. Next month, we may not have lunch on the patio again, but oh, what a gorgeous, beautiful day it was to honor God, to worship Him, and to praise His name. So we’re going to go over this scripture in Nahum 1.7, the Lord is good, the Lord is good to me, and a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him. And then over in the 15th verse of Nahum 1, oh, these little books are so powerful, friend. Don’t overlook them just because, oh, well, I don’t know what they’re about. If you’ve got any kind of a Bible, like a New American Standard, even a Passion. Well, the Passion doesn’t have the Old Testament right now. But some of these other, like a New Living Translation, they have little introductions and footnotes. So be sure and read those footnotes. In the 15th verse of Nahum 1, it says, “…behold on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who announced peace.” That’s what I’m praying for you today, that as you go out, you’re announcing good news and you don’t have to say anything. You’re just praising God in your heart and it’s going to be transferred from you to whoever is around you. And that becomes really a reality to me when I see someone like Kimberly Duell who can go around people, and she’s just a light. She’s just a light because she’s had a great struggle in her life. And she’s had some opposition, even from her own family. And yet she has decided, see that’s choosing, choosing the right way, choosing the light way. And she has decided that she is going to serve God, even if her own family turns against her. And slowly but surely, we’ve seen as the interview with Matthew and her this last week, let’s see, the week before, wow, these weeks come and go, that they are coming together in agreement and their marriage may be totally unorthodox and not like any other marriage but they’re coming in agreement and as a mother and a mother-in-law i consider matthew a son i saw them cooperating as they were trimming my trees and doing all kinds of work in the yard they were cooperating and agreeing with each other. Oh, such a blessing. I mean, such a blessing. So I want you to go to Nahum, and that’s right after Micah. And tomorrow I’m going to, for those of you who see me going from one subject to another, I forgot my notes for the first time in 15 years. Yes, sir. And so I’m relying totally on Holy Spirit today. I want you to know that tomorrow I’m going to have an article, an interview, thank you, Archie, of Elon Musk and what he considers, how he considers Christianity. to be a great thing in America. And if we don’t have Christianity, America is going to go down the drain. Really an enlightening article. But today, as I was watching some of the news, I realized that the SpaceX rocket that went out and around the world came back at the very spot that it was launched. What a victory. I mean, it usually happens that when NASA or some other organization launches a rocket or a spaceship, it goes around, but then it either goes into the ocean or goes into the desert. Well, this is a great victory today for SpaceX, and I was thanking God that he was going to bring the light of the truth even to the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. I’m grateful. I am really grateful, friend. It’s just wonderful to know that God is in the business of touching each and every heart of the 8 billion people out there. And we may not agree with them. We may say, a Christian? He can’t be a Christian. Well, let’s not judge. Let’s just pray that these people will come to know the Lord Jesus as we know him. That’s such a wonderful thing. Father God, in Jesus’ name, I ask that we just drop all the judgment and criticism towards those people that just don’t believe like we do. And Father God, just love. and just have some kindness for these people. Oh, walk in kindness because we know, Lord, that it is in kindness and knowing you that it’s going to come to pass. Just as you said in Micah 6 verse 8, what is required of us as believers in God? What is required of you but to seek judgment and To love kindness. Love kindness. And you are to go and preach the good news in kindness on the mountains. You bring the good news of kindness and love. And to walk humbly with your God, Micah 6.8. What a wonderful verse of scripture. So I hope you’re doing that. I hope you’re getting involved with changing. I am. I, wow, I am changing so much at my age and in this time of my life more than ever before. Just small little things. Well, I got to do this differently and I’ve got to do that differently. And wow, I didn’t know that God wants me to go this way. Even coming into the parking lot of Crawford Media today. And there’s two really tall buildings on this parking lot. Well, the paving company decided to pave everything. I mean, we’re talking dozens of parking lots, and everybody’s going into the garage. Well, the garage is full, and they’ve got cones all over the place. And I thought, you know what, Lord, I am so glad I came early. And Rachel is nodding her head, thumbs up. I am so glad you told me to leave early because I did not know this paving was going on. And it is a big, huge project. And, oh, hundreds of people go in and out of these buildings every day. So I am so grateful that I’m listening. I’m beginning to really listen to the Lord. Praise the Lord. So I want you to turn with me to Psalm 42 right now. I know this is a familiar verse of scripture for you. And it’s a wonderful song that John sings on his album. And it is not written by David. It is a mascal of the sons of Korah. And these were sons that were trained by David’s worship and his writings to continue those writings. And in Psalm 42, thirsting for God in trouble and exile, as the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for thee, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? Now, this is a deer story. And he’s making it in an analogy of a deer that comes to a brook, and the brook is dry. And he’s saying to himself, where shall I go for water? So the instinct of these animals is to find the water. And they do. Holy Spirit, in His wonderful, infinite wisdom, even for the animals, the birds of the air, the animals that come to look for water and can’t find them, He directs them to the water. So why shouldn’t He direct us? He directs us to the water, the living water, Christ Jesus. What a blessing it is to know that even when we’re thirsty, He comes and directs us. I want to just read a little bit more here in Psalm 42. It’s so beautiful. As a deer pants for the water brook, so my soul pants for thee, O God. My tears have been my food day and night. And some of us have gotten into situations and situations have slammed us. Unexpected things have happened in our lives and we’re going, why, God, why? Well, I’ve decided to not ask why anymore, my friend, because it just gets us into a position of unbelief and doubt and fear. And so I’m just saying, Father God, whatever comes my way, I’m going to praise you no matter what comes my way. And it’s just such a wonderful thing to know that he is my food day and night. And he is there all the time. These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng. I used to go along with the crowd. Yeah, I used to do that. And lead them in the procession to the house of God. With a voice of joy, thanksgiving, and a multitude keeping festival. Why are you in despair, oh my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? What is he doing here? He’s talking to himself. He’s saying, okay, I am in a bad attitude right now. What is happening here? I cannot imagine why I am disturbed. What is making me anxious? And you know, in Matthew 6, it says, don’t be anxious about anything. So here I am anxious. I’m wringing my hands. I’m worried. Why am I worried? Then he speaks to his soul. Hope in God. This is Psalm 42, verse 5. And again, in the 11th verse, go to the end of the chapter, this praise and worshiper is saying, Why do we get disturbed? Why do we get upset? Why did I forget my notes today? Do I get upset? Do I tell Rachel, oh, let’s just have the program from Thursday. I don’t have my notes, and I’m so sad, and I can’t say what I was going to say today. Well, God said, just rest. Just take a breath. Just rest. And I was in my vehicle. I was saying, can I do this? And Holy Spirit says, I’m here. I’m here with you. I’ll take you through the half hour. Isn’t he wonderful? So this praise and worshiper is saying, why are you in despair? Why are you worried? Hope in God, for he shall again bless you. And what do you do in response? You praise him. You praise him. You don’t, oh, well, that’s over with. I’m so glad that’s over with. No, you praise him and thank him. He’s a wonderful God. And then he says, even in trouble, deep calls to deep in the sound of the waterfalls. All thy breakers and waves have rolled over me. The Lord will command his loving kindness. Even when trouble comes, you’re out in the storm, in the middle of the lake, you’re out there praying. I just pray so much for the people that have gone through the hurricanes in North Carolina and in Florida and in Georgia. Oh, Father God, bless them and help them in Jesus’ name. See, when deep calls to deep and the storms come rolling over, the Lord will command His loving kindness in the daytime, and His song will be with me in the night. Yes, when we are thirsty, when we’re longing for a drink of water and longing I do quite frequently now. Kimberly has four bottles of water, and she puts them up in the beginning of the day, and she’s got to drink out of those four bottles in a day. And that’s how she gets her hydration. And I’ve been learning to drink more water. Friends, you’ve got to drink water. You really have to drink water. It will not only sustain you, but it will keep your body and your heart pumping and everything flowing so well. So remember that on a practical application. But remember this. God, in his loving kindness, will surround you even as you are thirsty. When you praise him, he will forgive. fill you up to overflowing. Oh, here is a song from Isaiah 55. Here’s Kimberly’s dad singing, Ho.
SPEAKER 02 :
Ho, everyone who is thirsty in spirit. Ho, everyone who is weary Come to the fountain, there’s fullness in Jesus. All that you’re longing for, come and be glad. I will pour water on him who is thirsty. I will pour floods upon the dry ground.
SPEAKER 1 :
Open your heart for the gift I am bringing you.
SPEAKER 02 :
While ye are seeking me, I will be found.
SPEAKER 1 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 :
I will pour water on him who is thirsty. I will pour floods upon the dry ground.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, praise God. I will pour water on him who is thirsty. You know, it’s okay with God that you don’t have your act together. It really is. It really is. Lord, I don’t have this done. I don’t have that done. And he says, it’s okay. It’s okay. Take my yoke upon you and be at rest with me. I’m taking, you know, he’s yoking up with us. We’re yoking up. I should say we’re yoking up with him, with Jesus. And he says, just take my yoke upon you and learn of me. I’m gentle and humble of heart. Oh, it’s so wonderful. In John 7, Jesus is not only the door, he’s not only the living bread. But while the Pharisees are coming against him so strongly, in fact, there are several times they just want to do away with him. It’s kind of like our precious President Trump. They just want to do away with him. Well, God has a better idea and a better plan. And he’s made this time. If he’s escaped now three assassination attempts, you know God has a plan for President Trump. He could be out golfing. He could be out on an island somewhere enjoying the wonderful time with his wife. He’s decided he wants to be here for the people. Praise God. Jesus says here in the 37th, 38th verse of John 7. Now in the last days, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out. If any man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink and drink and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture said, from this innermost being, from your innermost being, my friend, shall flow rivers of living water. That’s Holy Spirit. He is in you now as you have accepted Jesus as your Savior. And he is bringing forth water to water everyone else around you. Wonderful. Praise God. What a wonderful time with you today. And Lord willing, I’ll be with you again tomorrow. God bless you and keep you and take joy.
