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 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. 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 in the, 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 initiates and also the table debt and increase in debt. That's all 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 some 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 high lander out of the garage for two weeks. It was really, I'm spoiled. It was really wonderful. I am spoiled. So we bless Kimberly. We bless her. 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. 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 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 St. 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 that we were in a good mood. And realize how good God really is. Kimberly and I, as we were watching the movie, which some 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 Exignio 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 17. 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. Nah, 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 enemy's 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 17 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. It says here in Nahum 17, 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 17. This is a great scripture. I'm going to be repeating it this week. Kimberly is 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 17. 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, these little books are so powerful, friend. Don't overlook them just because, 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, a 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 announce 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 Duel 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 go and go, that they are coming together in agreement. 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. Such a blessing. I mean such a blessing. So I want you to go to Nehem and that's right after Micah. And tomorrow I'm going to, for all 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 on 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 space X 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, 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 space X. And I was thinking 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 eight billion people out there. And we may not agree with him. 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. On 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 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 versus 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 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 while 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 listen 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 versus 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 a masculine 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 and trouble and exile as the dear pantas for pants for the water Brooks. So my soul pants for the oh God my soul thirst for God for the living God when shall I come and appear before God. Now this is a dear and he's he's making it in a analogy of a dear 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 dear pants for the water brook so my soul pants for me the oh 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 are when I these things I remember and I pour out my soul within me for I used to go along with the song song I used to go along with a crowd yeah I just to do that. And lead them in the procession to the house of God with the voice of joy thanks giving an 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 I'm not going to do is I'm not going to do that. What is making me anxious and you know in Matthew 6 it says 6 it says don't be anxious about anything so here I am anxious I'm ringing my hands I'm worried why am I worried then he speaks to him soul his soul hoping 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 disturb 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 I can't say what I was going to say today well God said just just rest just take a breath just rest and I was in my vehicle I was saying can I do this in Holy Spirit says I'm here I'm here with you I'll take you through the half house you through the half hour isn't you wonderful so this praise praise and worshiper is saying why are you into spare why are you worried hoping 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 it'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 the 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 I just pray so much for the people that have gone through the hurricanes in 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 in 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 I do quite quite frequently now Kimberly had has four bottles of water and she puts them up in the 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 a 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 your everything flowing so well so remember that on a practical application but remember this God in his loving kindness loving kindness will surround you even as you are thirsty when you praise him he will fill you up to overflowing oh here is a song from Isaiah 55 here's Kimberly's dad singing "Ho" oh everyone who is thirsty and spirit oh everyone who is really sad come to the fountain there's fullness in season all that you're longing for come and good life I will pour water on him who is thirsty I will pour flood upon the dry ground open your heart to the gift I am bringing while you are seeking me I will be sad oh I will pour water on him who is thirsty I will pour flood upon the dry ground open your heart to the gift I am bringing while you are seeking me I will be sad 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 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 why all 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 gulping 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 he from your innermost being
