Speaker 1 (00:01):
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. Well, it's a pleasure
to be with you this evening, and I have been
talking to you in the last couple of weeks about
divine wisdom. You know, this is an extremely important topic,
(00:24):
and it may seem I don't know, it may seem
trivial to you, but I hope that you will hear
with your spirit, that you will not just listen with
your natural ear, but you will hear what the spirit
of the Lord is saying to you individually. Because we're
(00:48):
in a whole new ballgame. February twenty twenty five is
not like February twenty twenty four or twenty three. We're
in a whole new era of well, we're still in
an era of grace, that's for sure, but things are
(01:12):
moving at breakneck speed in the spirit realm and in
the natural realm, and you have to get yourself prepared.
And I can't prepare. This is what I do to
prepare you. If you listen to me every Monday night,
I'm here to help prepare you. But other than that,
(01:33):
I don't know what you're doing to help prepare yourself.
So it's a critical time to pay attention to what
the Lord is saying to you. Proverbs nine ten says,
the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
(01:54):
And as you know, we're talking about the awe, awe,
the awe, the reverential fear of the Lord. We're not
scared of God. He's our father. We are in awe
of who he is and what He has accomplished through
Jesus on the cross. A amen. So we don't have
(02:18):
to grope in the dark. We are called to walk
boldly in the light of God's word, says Bobby Connor.
And I talked to you about Bobby Connor last week
and the week before, the wonderful prophet of God that
I have followed for well over twenty years. And he
(02:40):
goes on to say, says, the wisdom of God will
release to us the word of God and the walk
of God, embracing the awesomeness, the awesome awe of God.
So the wisdom of God released to us the word
(03:01):
of God and the walk of God, embracing the awesome
awe of God. He goes on to say that the true,
the true fear of the Lord will produce a valiant, unflinching,
courageous faith. Now that's what I want to have. I
(03:25):
want to have an unflinching, valiant, courageous faith. I hope
you want the same thing. I hope you're saying right
now to yourself. Lord. In fact, take a moment and say, Lord,
I want a valiant, unflinching, courageous faith. The spirit of truth, hallelujah.
(03:51):
The Spirit of Truth is preparing the saints to walk
boldly in the light of the Word of God. And
this is from Bobby Connor's The Shepherd's Rod twenty twenty
five Embracing the Awe of God. And I mentioned this
(04:13):
book to you a couple of weeks ago. Psalm one
nineteen one thirty, verse one thirty in the Amplified says
this says, the entrance and the unfolding of your words
give light. Their unfolding gives understanding, discernment and comprehension to
(04:39):
the simple. So, in other words, when you read God's Word,
it is unfolding in you and providing light to you
and providing discernment and comprehension and understanding. Psal teen, verse
(05:01):
one oh five is a verse that you're quite familiar with,
which says, your word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my path. And that should be
I mean, just think about that. God's word is a
(05:21):
lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
And I've said many times before, you've heard me say it.
This is the power of God's word that can absolutely
direct the path you take, that can absolutely direct where
you go, what you do, how you do it, because
(05:45):
that's what God's word does. See, the Church must boldly
contend for and defend the truth during these dark days. See,
we have to defend the truth. You're going to be
called upon to defend the truth. I guarantee you You're
(06:08):
going to be called upon to defend the truth of
the Gospel. And I know what you're thinking. I'm not
a preacher, I'm not a teacher. Guess what. God doesn't care,
but it'll put you in a situation where you must
(06:29):
boldly contend for and defend the truth. Now, don't be deceived.
Don't be deceived. Yes, the burdensome yoke of the Biden
administration has been removed. Hallylujah, Glory to God. You know,
(06:52):
I have to say I knew it was dark. I'm
sure you knew it was dark. These last four year
years have been horrible. But I don't think I realized
the burden, the oppression that was put on us by
this administration. It the wickedness, the level of evil. Wow,
(07:19):
I didn't. I didn't realize how heavy that was until
it was removed. It's like President Trump becoming the president
and taking his place at the Oval office has been
like chain breaking. And I rejoice exceedingly. I presume you're
(07:45):
rejoicing exceedingly for that. But if you think that the
enemy has folded his hands and is taking a nap,
you're sorely mistaken. Yes, that oppression and that burdensome yoke
has been taken from the people of this country. Yes,
(08:08):
but the enemy is working fast and furious to continue
to do the most wicked, heinous things in our society. Now,
I want to share parable that Jesus spoke in Matthew seven,
Chapter seven, verses twenty one and twenty three, and then
(08:30):
it flows right into verses twenty four and twenty seven.
These are all Jesus' words. So, starting with verse twenty one,
Jesus says this. He says, not everyone who says to me,
Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven. But he
(08:52):
who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, Lord Lord,
have we not prophesied in your name and driven out
demons in your name and done mighty many works in
(09:16):
your name? And then I will say to them openly
and publicly, I never knew you. Depart from me, you
who act wickedly disregarding my commands. You know, every time
(09:39):
I read that, it just I don't know that set
of scriptures. You just, Thank goodness, I don't ever want
to be one of those. I don't want to be
one of those who says, Lord, I prophesied in your name,
lord demons, I did a lot of mighty works in
(10:02):
your name. And to hear the Lord say, depart from me,
I never knew you. That is frightening. But the Lord
makes a caveat here. He says, not everyone who says
to me, Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven.
(10:24):
But here's the one who's going to get to enter.
The one who does the will of my Father, who
is in heaven. Now, how are you supposed to know
the will of the Father? Very simple? Read God's word,
that is the will of God. That's why you have
(10:44):
to be in the word. Now Jesus goes on. It
just rolls into the next verse twenty four. So everyone
who hears these words of mine, meaning God's were the Bible,
the words in the Bible. So everyone who hears these
words of mine and acts upon them, obeying them, will
(11:12):
be like a sensible, prudent, practical, wise man who built
his house upon the rock, and the rain fell, and
the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against
that house, Yet it did not fall, because it had
(11:33):
been founded on the rock verse twenty six. And everyone
who hears these words of mine and does not do
them will be like a stupid, foolish man who built
his house upon the sand, and the rain fell, and
(11:55):
the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against
that house, and it fell, and great and complete was
the fall of it. So it's it's pretty simple here.
You've got to build your spiritual house upon the rock.
(12:15):
The rock is Jesus. The rock is Jesus and his word.
And if you remember what I said, the prophetic word
was for twenty twenty five, hear and obey. See, you
have to act upon God's word. You have to obey.
(12:38):
You want to be a prudent, practical, wise person who
builds their house upon the rock of Christ. Because for
sure the rains are coming, baby, the floods are coming,
the wind's blowing, it's gonna beat on your house. All
kind of calamity can come against you. And yet you
(13:00):
won't fall, You won't falter, you won't pull away, you
won't draw from God, because you're founded on the rock.
But the person who hears, you know, there's how many
thousands of people go to church every Sunday. They hear
they hear God's words, Jesus said. And everyone who hears
(13:22):
these words of mine, lots of people hear his word
every Sunday and does not do them, doesn't act upon them,
will be like a stupid, foolish man who build his
house upon the sand. When you build your house on sand, man,
(13:43):
it's unpredictable, it's unstable, it's full of the flesh and carnality,
and it will fall, and the fall of it will
be great. Jesus said, it will be great. So here's
where you need to be as a believer. Isaiah twenty six,
(14:08):
verse three. This is the amplified classic version. You will
guard him and keep him imperfect and constant peace. In
other words, you is God. God will guard the person
(14:28):
and keep the person imperfect and constant peace. Whose mind,
both its inclination and its character is stayed on God.
Because this person commits himself to God, to the Lord,
leans on the Lord, and hopes confidently in the Lord.
(14:55):
So if you want to walk in peace, if you
want the Lord to guard you and to protect you
and to keep you in perfect peace, then you have
to commence yourself to him. You have to lean on him.
You have to hope confidently in him that he's gonna
(15:18):
take care of the situation. He's going to take care
of the rough going that you're going through. Amen. Now
I want to look at Psalm thirty nine in the
New King James version and Psalm thirty nine, and this
(15:48):
is a psalm of David, and he says, I said,
I will guard my ways lest I sin with my tongue.
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle while a
wicked are before me. I was mute with silence. I
held my peace even from good, and my sorrow was
(16:09):
stirred up. My heart was hot within me while I
was musing, the fire burned. In other words, when he
was as he was meditating, And he says, Lord, this
is David. Lord, make me to know my end. And
(16:31):
what is the measure of my days? That I may
know how frail i am. Indeed, you have made my
days as hand breaths, and my age is as nothing
before you. Certainly every man at his best, every man
(16:57):
at his best state, is but vapor. Surely every man
walks about like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in
vain and heap up riches and does not know who
will gather them. And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
(17:22):
My hope is in you. My hope is in you. Hallelujah.
I'll just stop there. This is a very humbling prayer
that David is making, very humbling. Certainly, every man at
(17:44):
his best state is but a vapor. When you think
you are something so special, you think you are the
king of the mountain or the queen of the hill,
let me tell you, at your best state, you're nothing.
But vapor. You're like a shadow. So we have to
(18:09):
realize there were nothing Without God, we're nothing. We're just
a vapor. And David says, my hope is in you, Amen,
our hope is in God. What else do we have?
(18:36):
Jeremiah in Jeremiah chapter twenty nine wrote this lost my
place here. Okay, this is in the amplified Classic, and
(18:56):
it says, then you will call upon me, meaning the Lord,
and you will come and pray to me, and I
will hear and heed you. Then you will seek me,
inquire four and require me as a vital necessity, and
find me when you search for me with all your heart.
(19:19):
So we just call upon the Lord. He's our hope,
and he's saying here if you, if you come and
pray to me, I'm going to hear you. I'm going
to heed you. Not just hear you. I'm going to
heed you. And then you'll seek me and inquire and
require of me as a vital necessity, and you'll find
(19:44):
me when you search for me with all your heart.
So there is this place as a believer. David said,
you're my only hope. My hope is in you. You're it.
And Jeremiah it says man, you know if I seek you, Lord,
(20:08):
if I inquire of you, as if you're the most
important thing I need, I'll find you when I search
for you with all my heart. And that needs to
be the cry of your heart. This is a Psalm
(20:31):
eighteen twenty eight through thirty one. This is in the
Amplified Classic, And really you should meditate on these scriptures.
And this is what it reads. It says for you,
meaning God. For you, God, cause my lamp to be
lighted and to shine. The Lord, my God, illumins, illumins
(20:58):
my darkness. For by you I can run through a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of
the Lord is tested and tried. He is a shield
to all those who take refuge and put their trust
(21:19):
in him. For who is God except the Lord? And
who is the rock save our God. Wow, I really
love this set of scriptures. God, you cause our lamp
(21:40):
to be lighted and to shine, and you illumine our darkness.
And we can run through a troop. And by you,
Lord Boy, we can leap over a wall. Wow, You're
a shield to those who take refuge and put trust
in you. So he's our protection. He's the one that
takes a way for us to do something that's exceedingly
(22:02):
abundantly above all that we can think or ask. Amen James,
Chapter one, verse five. If any of you is deficient
in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God who
gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or fault finding,
(22:29):
and it will be given him. So if you say
to yourself, look I need wisdom. I lack in wisdom.
Right here the word says, if you lack, ask ask God.
He will give it to you liberally. He's not gonna
(22:51):
begrudge you. He's not gonna find fault with you. It
will be given to you. You ask for wisdom, God's
going to give you wisdom. And you know, we have
to make up our minds not to continue to stumble
about in the confusion that seems to gridlock the culture
(23:15):
we live in. We have to walk with a God
given purpose, a God given you know, goals. We shouldn't
be vague and thoughtless in these last days. This is
not a time to be foolish. This is not a
time to lack wisdom. This is a time to gain wisdom.
(23:41):
Paul the Apostle gave a very severe warning in Ephesians
five point fifteen through seventeen, and the amplified Paul wrote this.
He says, look carefully, then, how you walk, Live purposely
and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless,
(24:04):
but as wise, sensible, intelligent people, making the very most
of the time, in other words, buying up each opportunity,
because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be vague
and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly, firmly grasping
(24:29):
what the will of the Lord is. So this is
a severe warning from Paul to the church. You have
to look carefully how you're walking, folks. You have to
live purposely, worthily, accurately, not as a wise, unwise, witless person,
(24:53):
and redeem the time. Make the most of the time.
Because the days are evil, are they not? So be,
do not be vague and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping,
firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is for you.
(25:16):
God God's promises of continual guidance and provision are sure.
They're sure God's word is yes, and amen. There isn't
a no, there isn't a plan. Be God's word is
sure and steadfast Psalm thirty two eight. The Lord makes
(25:48):
this promise to us. He says, I will instruct you
and teach you in the way you should go. I
will guide you with my eye. How about that God
will guide us with his eye. He will teach us
the way we should go. And then John writes in
(26:09):
the Gospel of John sixteen thirteen. He says, but when
he the Spirit of truth, the truth giving spirit, comes,
he will guide you into all the truth, the whole
full truth. For he will not speak his own message
on his own authority, but he will tell whatever he
(26:29):
hears from the Father. He will give the message that
has been given to him, and he will announce and
declare it to you the things that are to come,
that will happen in the future. You just have to
have an ear to hear. You have to have a
strong desire to walk in the truth, the whole full truth. Amen.
(26:54):
And God will speak to you, and he will declare
to you the things that are going to happen in
the future. M I like that things that are about
to come. And let me end with this scripture this
is Luke twenty one thirty four. But take heed to
yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be
(27:16):
overburdened and depressed, weighed down with the giddiness and headache
and nausea of self indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and
cares pertaining to the business of this life. Lest that
day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose.
Wow wow, wow, folks. We have to position ourselves in
(27:36):
a place of humility, purity, holiness, so that the Lord
can entrust us with an impartation of divine wisdom which
comes from above. So this is not a time to
be self indulgent, drunk, worldly worries, cares pretending to the life.
(28:01):
If that's what you're doing, then you're walking and living
in the flesh. You're not in the spirit at all.
But we want to grow strong in the Lord and
in the power of His might. Amen, Well, this is

(13:00):
won't fall, You won't falter, you won't pull away, you

it's unpredictable, it's unstable, it's full of the flesh and carnality,
and it will fall, and the fall of it will
be great. Jesus said, it will be great. So here's
where you need to be as a believer. Isaiah twenty six,
(14:08):
verse three. This is the amplified classic version. You will
guard him and keep him imperfect and constant peace. In
other words, you is God. God will guard the person
(14:28):
and keep the person imperfect and constant peace. Whose mind,
both its inclination and its character is stayed on God.
Because this person commits himself to God, to the Lord,
leans on the Lord, and hopes confidently in the Lord.
(14:55):
So if you want to walk in peace, if you
want the Lord to guard you and to protect you
and to keep you in perfect peace, then you have
to commence yourself to him. You have to lean on him.
You have to hope confidently in him that he's gonna
(15:18):
take care of the situation. He's going to take care
of the rough going that you're going through. Amen. Now
I want to look at Psalm thirty nine in the
New King James version and Psalm thirty nine, and this
(15:48):
is a psalm of David, and he says, I said,
I will guard my ways lest I sin with my tongue.
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle while a
wicked are before me. I was mute with silence. I
held my peace even from good, and my sorrow was
(16:09):
stirred up. My heart was hot within me while I
was musing, the fire burned. In other words, when he
was as he was meditating, And he says, Lord, this
is David. Lord, make me to know my end. And
(16:31):
what is the measure of my days? That I may
know how frail i am. Indeed, you have made my
days as hand breaths, and my age is as nothing
before you. Certainly every man at his best, every man
(16:57):
at his best state, is but vapor. Surely every man
walks about like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in
vain and heap up riches and does not know who
will gather them. And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
(17:22):
My hope is in you. My hope is in you. Hallelujah.
I'll just stop there. This is a very humbling prayer
that David is making, very humbling. Certainly, every man at
(17:44):
his best state is but a vapor. When you think
you are something so special, you think you are the
king of the mountain or the queen of the hill,
let me tell you, at your best state, you're nothing.
But vapor. You're like a shadow. So we have to
(18:09):
realize there were nothing Without God, we're nothing. We're just
a vapor. And David says, my hope is in you, Amen,
our hope is in God. What else do we have?
(18:36):
Jeremiah in Jeremiah chapter twenty nine wrote this lost my
place here. Okay, this is in the amplified Classic, and
(18:56):
it says, then you will call upon me, meaning the Lord,
and you will come and pray to me, and I
will hear and heed you. Then you will seek me,
inquire four and require me as a vital necessity, and
find me when you search for me with all your heart.
(19:19):
So we just call upon the Lord. He's our hope,
and he's saying here if you, if you come and
pray to me, I'm going to hear you. I'm going
to heed you. Not just hear you. I'm going to
heed you. And then you'll seek me and inquire and
require of me as a vital necessity, and you'll find
(19:44):
me when you search for me with all your heart.
So there is this place as a believer. David said,
you're my only hope. My hope is in you. You're it.
And Jeremiah it says man, you know if I seek you, Lord,
(20:08):
if I inquire of you, as if you're the most
important thing I need, I'll find you when I search
for you with all my heart. And that needs to
be the cry of your heart. This is a Psalm
(20:31):
eighteen twenty eight through thirty one. This is in the
Amplified Classic, And really you should meditate on these scriptures.
And this is what it reads. It says for you,
meaning God. For you, God, cause my lamp to be
lighted and to shine. The Lord, my God, illumins, illumins
(20:58):
my darkness. For by you I can run through a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of
the Lord is tested and tried. He is a shield
to all those who take refuge and put their trust
(21:19):
in him. For who is God except the Lord? And
who is the rock save our God. Wow, I really
love this set of scriptures. God, you cause our lamp
(21:40):
to be lighted and to shine, and you illumine our darkness.
And we can run through a troop. And by you,
Lord Boy, we can leap over a wall. Wow, You're
a shield to those who take refuge and put trust
in you. So he's our protection. He's the one that
takes a way for us to do something that's exceedingly
(22:02):
abundantly above all that we can think or ask. Amen James,
Chapter one, verse five. If any of you is deficient
in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God who
gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or fault finding,
(22:29):
and it will be given him. So if you say
to yourself, look I need wisdom. I lack in wisdom.
Right here the word says, if you lack, ask ask God.
He will give it to you liberally. He's not gonna
(22:51):
begrudge you. He's not gonna find fault with you. It
will be given to you. You ask for wisdom, God's
going to give you wisdom. And you know, we have
to make up our minds not to continue to stumble
about in the confusion that seems to gridlock the culture
(23:15):
we live in. We have to walk with a God
given purpose, a God given you know, goals. We shouldn't
be vague and thoughtless in these last days. This is
not a time to be foolish. This is not a
time to lack wisdom. This is a time to gain wisdom.
(23:41):
Paul the Apostle gave a very severe warning in Ephesians
five point fifteen through seventeen, and the amplified Paul wrote this.
He says, look carefully, then, how you walk, Live purposely
and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless,
(24:04):
but as wise, sensible, intelligent people, making the very most
of the time, in other words, buying up each opportunity,
because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be vague
and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly, firmly grasping
(24:29):
what the will of the Lord is. So this is
a severe warning from Paul to the church. You have
to look carefully how you're walking, folks. You have to
live purposely, worthily, accurately, not as a wise, unwise, witless person,
(24:53):
and redeem the time. Make the most of the time.
Because the days are evil, are they not? So be,
do not be vague and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping,
firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is for you.
(25:16):
God God's promises of continual guidance and provision are sure.
They're sure God's word is yes, and amen. There isn't
a no, there isn't a plan. Be God's word is
sure and steadfast Psalm thirty two eight. The Lord makes
(25:48):
this promise to us. He says, I will instruct you
and teach you in the way you should go. I
will guide you with my eye. How about that God
will guide us with his eye. He will teach us
the way we should go. And then John writes in
(26:09):
the Gospel of John sixteen thirteen. He says, but when
he the Spirit of truth, the truth giving spirit, comes,
he will guide you into all the truth, the whole
full truth. For he will not speak his own message
on his own authority, but he will tell whatever he
(26:29):
hears from the Father. He will give the message that
has been given to him, and he will announce and
declare it to you the things that are to come,
that will happen in the future. You just have to
have an ear to hear. You have to have a
strong desire to walk in the truth, the whole full truth. Amen.
(26:54):
And God will speak to you, and he will declare
to you the things that are going to happen in
the future. M I like that things that are about
to come. And let me end with this scripture this
is Luke twenty one thirty four. But take heed to
yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be
(27:16):
overburdened and depressed, weighed down with the giddiness and headache
and nausea of self indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and
cares pertaining to the business of this life. Lest that
day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose.
Wow wow, wow, folks. We have to position ourselves in
(27:36):
a place of humility, purity, holiness, so that the Lord
can entrust us with an impartation of divine wisdom which
comes from above. So this is not a time to
be self indulgent, drunk, worldly worries, cares pretending to the life.
(28:01):
If that's what you're doing, then you're walking and living
in the flesh. You're not in the spirit at all.
But we want to grow strong in the Lord and
in the power of His might. Amen, Well, this is
