LIFE TO THE FULL w/ Nancy Campbell
EPISODE 3
30: Saving the Nation
It's less than a month until the November 5 election. What part are we doing to steer this nation to righteousness and away from evil and communism?
Announcer: Welcome to the podcast, Life to The Full, with Nancy Campbell, founder and publisher of Above Rubies.
Nancy Campbell: Hello, ladies! Well, about a week or so ago, I came back from Idaho, taking an Above Rubies ladies’ retreat up there. It was such a beautiful spot in the world. We had such a wonderful time. But now we only have one retreat left for this year. It’s a ladies’ retreat right here in Tennessee.
In fact, there is a camp retreat site just down the road from where we live, so I won’t have to travel far this time. Tennessee is very central, so if anyone wants to get to an Above Rubies ladies’ retreat, the last one for the year, it’s the first weekend of November, just before voting day. If you are interested, call Charity at 503-871-9535. Or you can just go to the website, and you’ll find all the information there.
Well, what have I been doing? Of course, I’m busy in the Above Rubies office every day, which is in our home. The amazing thing about Above Rubies is that I have never taken it out of the home from the very beginning. That was over 47 years ago. It has always been in the home. Sometimes it’s been in my bedroom. Sometimes it’s been in a room in the house. Here we now have Above Rubies downstairs, and we live upstairs. So, I am there. It keeps me busy all the time.
Actually, my whole life is given to encouraging and teaching and blessing the mothers and wives of the nation and the world. But we have been doing something that we don’t usually do lately, which is going to some movies. Well, we are not moviegoers. We never go to movies because they are such junk. And we don’t even have TV.
But at the moment, there are some very good movies. I believe when there is a very good Christian movie, or a very good conservative movie that comes, we will go to support it, to show the whole of Hollywood people that this is what we want to see. This is the kind of movie we want instead of all this junk and wickedness.
It's amazing. There have been some very good ones lately. I guess many of you have been to see Reagan. And then The Forge, the latest Kendrick Brothers movie, which is so wonderful. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s about this young guy and how he comes to the Lord. But that’s not all. It’s how he is discipled. You see him changing as he is discipled. It’s a very, very powerful movie. I encourage everyone to go to it and support it.
Also, did you see God’s Not Dead? This is the fourth God’s Not Dead movie. It’s called In God We Trust, and it’s the story about an election. It’s very good, especially as we’re coming up to our election here. I really encourage you to see that. And, I haven’t actually seen Matt Walsh’s Am I A Racist? yet. They say that’s very good. I really enjoyed the one he put together called What Is a Woman? Did you see that? If you haven’t, you can download it. It’s so powerful.
Then we have Bonhoeffer coming up. That should be wonderful.
But then on Sunday night, Colin and I went into the city to see Vindicating Trump. This is the latest movie documentary, drama documentary, put out by Dinesh D’Souza. I wonder if you've ever seen any of his other films. They are all very, very powerful. You can download them now if you haven’t seen them.
He did . . . some of them . . . Death of a Nation, 2000 Mules (that was exposing the 2020 stolen election. It’s an amazing movie. It shows what happened with all those votes and how all these 80 million votes came out of nowhere. It shows you where they came from); Police State, Trump Card, and, of course, his latest one, Vindicating Trump. It was so good. Oh, I would love everybody to go and see it. I think it’s necessary to see it.
In fact, it even shows in this movie how easy it is to steal an election and how easy it is to be able to purchase these voting materials and how you can get anybody to fill them out. They don’t even have anything on them that shows what it is. It was so easy, and it was all exposed in this movie.
The sad thing was, Colin and I were sitting there with only three other people in the whole theater. I was talking to Alison Hartman afterwards. I think some of you will remember listening to Alison. I’ve done loads of podcasts with her. Alison and Daniel are the family who put on our Above Rubies family retreats down in Florida.
I was telling her how good it was, and she said, “Oh, Nancy, we’re going tomorrow night.” That was Saturday night when we went into the city. That’s driving in an hour and a half. I love it when there is something up at our local theater which is still half an hour away. But many times, to see something that is good, we have to drive an hour and a half. But we do it, because we want to support it.
Anyway, Alison said, “Oh, Nancy, don’t worry! We’re all going tonight, and not just Daniel and me. I am taking everybody I can find, and I’m going to fill the theater!” Wow! I felt rather guilty that I had just sat there with three other people and hadn’t got anyone else to go. She was going to fill the theater! Well, no wonder she has just been named “Woman of the Year” down where she lives in Florida, because she’s someone who makes things happen. But I was glad to hear that.
I want to share today a little bit about this election coming, because when you receive this podcast, it will be less than a month before voting day. We can vote earlier, of course. I think early voting starts about the 16th of October (for Tennessee anyway).
40 MILLION CHRISTIANS DON’T VOTE * 15 MILLION ARE NOT REGISTERED!
I believe this is such an important election. It is so sad to know that the latest statistics are that 40 million Christians do not vote. That is unbelievable. 15 million are unregistered! They’re not even registered to vote. I know that many Christians say, “Well, I don’t believe in getting into politics. That’s not my thing.” Others say, “Well, it doesn’t matter who gets in, because Jesus is sovereign. He is the King of kings. Everything will go on fine no matter who’s in.”
But that is not true. History reveals that. We could spend the rest of this podcast talking about history because what happened to people depended on whoever was dictator, tyrant, or someone who was godly ruling the nation. I think back to the time in England when Edward VI was king. He was a very, very young king. But during his time, there was openness to preach the gospel.
It was a time when Puritans were beginning to preach and teach their people and preach the gospel. We remember such names, famous Puritans— Latimer, Hooper, Bradford. We read in history how they had the opportunity to preach to the masses. Many times, they had open-air meetings of up to 6,000 in the center of London. It was a wonderful time for the gospel.
But Edward VI died. He only reigned for about six years. Then who was the next one? It was the first female monarch of England, Mary Tudor. But you know what she became known as? She became known as “Bloody Mary.” That’s not a nice testimony to have, is it? So much for the first female monarch.
Things changed. Instead of an openness to preach the gospel, she began to persecute those who were doing that. So came all the terrible martyrdoms. She burned, some say, 280 people. Other statistics say up to 300 men of God, and some women, at the stake. Latimer, Hooper, Bradford, and so many others were all burned at the stake. You can read many of their stories in that famous book, The Book of Martyrs.
How did that happen? It was totally different from Edward’s reign. Then it changed, because of Mary’s reign. Whoever is in power does affect our lives. It affects not only our lives, but the future lives of our children. That’s why I think this is such an important election.
I think there are many, many people, there are even many Christians, who because they don’t get into politics, they don’t really understand truly what is happening. They are not aware that Kamela Harris and Tim Walz are extreme socialists. If they get into power, we will begin immediately to go down the slippery slope of communism. For extreme socialism, communism, progressivism, Marxism, they’re all sisters. They’re all so similar.
This is really the defining plan of Harris and Walz. Of course, they don’t go round shouting that from the housetops because so many would vote against them. No, they act as though they are just maybe in the middle, just central. But no, that is not the truth, if you want to do the research. So, therefore, we have a responsibility, because Marxism, communism is totally against God.
Immediately, persecution of Christians will begin. In fact, we already have persecution of Christians. Last podcast, or was it the one before? I was talking with Bethany Vaughn, and how her husband was sentenced because he was trying to save babies. There were a number of people sentenced at that trial. Some have been sentenced to go to jail. Others are on house arrest.
But this is happening all over this country. You only have to be pro-life and they’re going to be after you. This is communism. They are after those who believe in God and believe in life. As Christians, we have a responsibility to stand up for truth. When we are voting, we’re standing up for truth.
Oh, but then others will say, “Oh, but how can you vote for Trump? He’s not a godly man.” Well, I will admit, when he first stated he was running for the presidency, I was aghast, because I had always looked upon him as a very fleshly man. That was true.
But it’s amazing. He has changed. This man has changed. Even if he didn’t have this background of all this fleshly, sinful lifestyle, he is a man who loves this country, loves the Constitution, and amazingly, loves what is good and right, and wants to bring this country back to the Constitution, to that which is right, and to bless this nation.
In fact, I noticed just the other day, this was something he stated in one of his rallies. It’s amazing how he has changed. I think that he actually speaks about Jesus, yes, the Name of Jesus, more than any other president ever has. He said these words:
“Our country needs a Savior right now. Our country has a Savior, but it's not me. It’s somebody much higher than me. The life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world. Our nation would not be what it is today without Jesus Christ. He is the source of our strength, and our hope.”
It’s amazing that he is not ashamed to actually confess the Name of Jesus when many Christians are scared to go around confessing the Name of Jesus.
Of course, we must realize too, that we’re not voting in a pastor or a minister to be the president of our country. We’re voting in the man who has the ability to run the country. Trump does have this. He has proved that he is a man of caliber and a man of strength. I don’t think there is any man who would have even survived the four years that he was in office with all they sought to do against him, and impeach him, and eradicate him, and do everything.
Now, even as he's running for president, they’re trying to do the same thing. They’re trying to jail him. They’re trying to assassinate him. They’re trying to get rid of him. Why is he doing it? He doesn’t have to. He’s a billionaire. He could just enjoy his life. He’s doing it because he loves this country.
I often think of that Scripture in Psalm 89:16. It’s talking about King David. God was looking for man, a man to rule His people, and a man who would be able to fight the enemies around and bring the nation into a place of peace. This is what it says here: “I have laid help upon One that is mighty.” That’s King James. But in other translations it says: “I have laid my hand upon a warrior.”
God was not looking for a wimp to rule his people. He was looking for a warrior. I think that’s a little bit like Trump. He is a warrior. We know that. But God needs a warrior in this hour to bring this country back from where it is, and where it’s going down the tubes. When you think of what is happening . . .
In our church fellowship, we have a dear man, very sweet man. He is from Venezuela, and he escaped Venezuela when it was becoming communist. He’s now a US citizen. But this man, oh, how often he shares with us how he is so burdened and how he is so grieved. Because he loves his nation of Venezuela, and he loves this nation, he keeps warning us.
He says, “Don’t you know that the same things that were happening in Venezuela, in preparation for communism, are just what are happening now? I see it all again. Everything that’s happening is just what was happening in Venezuela.” He said that’s what was happening there, this whole border invasion. We all know we are in the midst of this incredible border invasion, where Kamela Harris is supposed to be the border czar.
Instead of protecting our border . . . Every nation has borders. God intends every nation to have borders. We read in the Word of God how God assigns the nations of the world to their different areas. God does that, and He doesn’t expect every nation to just come in and invade another nation. That’s war. This is what we have now.
In fact, what are the latest statistics? I wrote them down. Let’s have a look at them. These are the latest statistics. They have allowed, this is only since 2020, Kamela Harris and Biden negated the 93 mandates that Trump brought in to protect our border. They wiped the lot of them, so now we have 20 million illegals. Actually, the update is now 25 million illegals in this country.
Why are they bringing them in? They want the votes. They’re bringing them in to vote. Now by the way, I know I’m talking to ladies all around the world, so many different countries. But dear ladies, as I’m talking about the States here, it also affects you, because what happens here will affect the whole world.
So, now we have 25 million illegals, and of those, listen to this, ladies:
13,099 are released murderers from their countries
15,811 are rapists
435,790 are convicted criminals.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has reported 662,566 non-citizens, these are the non-citizens, these are the invaders, the illegal aliens with criminal histories. Then they give the quote I’ve just given you, 435,790 are convicted criminals. The other 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
And 350 terrorists.
Now, ladies, all these people are now roaming our country. In fact, more than that, not only have they allowed them in but now they are giving them hotels free. They live in beautiful hotels, free. They have everything free. Healthcare free. None of us get healthcare free. This is such a curse upon our nation.
And I haven’t given you the worst statistic yet.
THE WORST STATISTIC OF ALL
324,000 are missing children who has been sex-trafficked through the border. This has all been allowed by our current administration, Biden and Harris.
If we, as God’s people, think that we can just do nothing about that, there’s something wrong with us. We have got to take a stand. We’ve got to vote against Harris, because how can we continue to allow this? Already there have been many who have been raped and killed by these people. How many more will there be?
What is yet to happen? We know that now there are sent-in groups from Iran. Their whole plan is to assassinate Trump. They’re all coming through this open border. It was the most protected border at any time when Trump was there.
We have a responsibility. What does the Word of God say in Ephesians 5:11: “To have no fellowship with the works of darkness, but rather, expose them.” We not only must expose them, but we must do something about it. We are meant to love righteousness and hate evil. This is all pure evil! We’ve got to hate it. If we hate it, we’ll do something. We’ll vote against it.
A NON-VOTE IS A VOTE
A non-vote is a vote. Anybody who says, “Well, I don’t believe in voting,” you are voting! You are helping to bring in the other side of darkness. We have a responsibility. If you are not yet registered, do it. If you are registered, make sure it’s up to date, and please, let’s just save this nation. Amen?
This is what was happening in Venezuela. They opened their borders. I was just talking to my dear friend, our friend, this morning on the phone. He was telling me again about everything. He said, “This is one of the things that started in Venezuela, and they opened their borders for anybody to come in. Many Chinese came in and they gave them everything free.”
Do you know, do you remember that, before communism came into Venezuela, it was the richest country in the whole of Latin America? Rich with oil, rich with gold, rich with diamonds, the most glorious lifestyle. But now, but now, it is the poorest country in Latin America. Do you know what the average wage is in Venezuela? You won’t believe it. It is $2.50 a month.
When our friend first told me that, I thought, “Oh well, that’s most probably Venezuelan currency.” I said, “What currency is that? Is it US?” He said, “Yes, US.” Can you imagine surviving on $2.50 a month? That is why hundreds are dying. They’re dying from starvation. Of course, millions are trying to flee the country.
But that’s how it started with many of the same things that are happening here in our country. He was also telling me . . . he loves to talk about his country. The city of Caracas was also so beautiful, but he said now it’s like Los Angeles and parts of Chicago, with all the homeless people lying on the streets. This is what communism does, because you cannot have communism start in a poor country. It has to start in a rich country, because they need the means to start it.
But then, what happens, they just use it up, and then everybody becomes poor. Everybody becomes the same. It’s all tied in really, too, with the New World Order, which as we know, the very first thing on the top of their list is, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.” That’s what they want. They don’t want to have any class distinctions. They want everybody the same. You’ll own nothing!
Well, I don’t think you’ll be happy, because that’s not God’s plan. When we read of God’s blessing back in the Word of God, we read of how every man sits under his own vine and tree. Yes, that’s how God wants it. Every man owning his own home. That’s his castle. It’s not just everyone the same and everyone ending up with nothing. We’ve got to face the facts of where we are in this country.
I was just looking at something else I’d written here, and I wanted to tell you about it, but I think I have lost it at the moment. Anyway, lovely ladies, I do want to encourage you that these elections are coming up and that you will be motivated to vote. Wouldn’t it be amazing, wouldn’t it be amazing if the 40 million Christians who haven’t bothered (in many ways, it’s not even caring about your country).
I am not American born but I am an American citizen. We came here. Of course, we had to first get our green cards. That took time. It cost a lot of money. We eventually got them and then we had to wait so many years before we could then apply for our citizenship. That took money, and that took time. That took effort, but we had to come legally. That is right. But to come in illegally is wrong.
I was mentioning on my Facebook the other day about praying for President Trump and someone on the thread said, “Oh, I don’t know . . . ” (They obviously listen to CNN. So many people are brainwashed. Even in other countries, they don’t have conservative media. They only hear the liberal media which pour forth lies and deception every time they open their mouths).
They said, “Oh, but what about all these poor people coming it? Aren’t we to look after them?” Of course, God wants us to look after the poor. Goodness, we have millions of poor people in our own country. We can’t even look after them because they’re giving all the money to these invaders. The Bible talks about when a stranger comes in, they are to have the same laws as everyone else. But now, in this country, they are giving all the free things and all the blessings to the invaders. Our own poor people can’t even be looked after.
It’s not a matter of only those. It’s a matter of praying. I have to ask you, are you praying? Dear ladies, there is less than a month until this election. I believe every God-fearing family in this nation, and across the world (ladies who are in other countries, would you be praying for these elections too? Because they will affect you. Everyone will be affected by what happens in America on November 5th).
But they do start early voting. I think that’s about the 16th of October, so it’s good to vote early, in person, of course. We believe in in-person voting, and showing our ID. That’s what it’s meant to be.
Pray, we’ve got to pray! Look, come before the Lord every morning and every evening as you have your family prayer time together. I trust you do that every day. Gather your whole family to pray. Pray, pray for protection on President Trump. Pray that God will supernaturally keep him. He has survived two, well, he’s survived many, many attempts even when he was in office. God has been sovereignly watching over him.
But it’s only the prayers of God’s people and we must keep praying. We must pray against the cheating and the fraud because they’re trying to do it again. There’s already, already a lot of cheating going on.
I was in Michigan, taking an Above Rubies retreat just recently. One of the ladies was telling me of how someone who is involved in trying to watch over what is happening said how they found already in Michigan, they found all these votes that have come in for this election from a whole area, apartment complexes where actually no one’s been living. But they’ve got names for them all because they’ve got addresses.
There’s all this kind of cheating going on. And of course, they’ve got all the invaders. We, as God’s people, have to get out and vote. But we’ve got to pray. Pray against it. That is our greatest weapon, to pray.
BEGIN A PRAYER MEETING IN YOUR HOME
Do you know of a prayer meeting that is praying for this election? Maybe you don’t. I’ve asked people when I meet them, “Do you know of a prayer meeting near you where you can pray for the election?”
“No, never heard of one.” Well, that’s easy to fix! You start one in your own home!
We have two prayer meetings every week to pray for this nation and for what is going on in this nation, and for this election. Why don’t you just ask another family that you know? Maybe another two or three families. Say, “Hey, look! Just once a week, until this election, let’s get together and pray!”
Have your whole family. You don’t have to eliminate children when you pray. You incorporate them! At our prayer meetings, the children are all there right down to the little ones—the nursing babies, the toddlers, everyone comes! Maybe the little ones aren’t praying but they’re there in the midst of the prayer. It’s so beautiful to look around, and see even little ones—three, four, and five years, worshipping the Lord. Oh, it’s so beautiful!
But ladies, could I just ask that you do that? That you’d begin a prayer meeting? And begin to pray with others? I recently started a prayer box for the election. I have loads of prayer boxes. I have nine prayer boxes that we use every day. We don’t use them all. We usually choose one, sometimes two. We take a card out. If it’s praying for Israel, or the nation, or the persecuted church, or whatever.
ELECTION PRAYER BOX
I thought, “Wow! I’ve got to have one especially for this election!” So, I just made one, PRAYING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE ELECTION. I have all these cards in it, so we’re now using that every day. You can make a little box. If you need some ideas on what to pray for, email me, and I’ll send them to you. You can write them on cards, and you can all be praying! Because praying is our greatest weapon. Amen?
Oh, I just hope you’ll be with me, dear ladies. I do trust that you’ll realize that this is not some political podcast. This is about the saving of our nation. This is about saving us from going into communism. This is their plan. If Trump doesn’t get in, this is what will happen. Please, let’s all wake up, and begin to pray.
2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My Name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will hear their prayer and save their land.” Oh, we can claim that promise as we do that.
Another thing we’ve been doing recently in our prayer meetings is ending with the Lord’s Prayer. We usually sing it and it’s so powerful. The words are so powerful. It’s worth doing that too.
All right, now as I close this session, I want to tell you what’s coming up. We have already recorded the next three podcasts. I was with a most beautiful mother. Her name is Genevieve, a mother of 11 children. She tells the stories of her births. She starts off how, as a young child she was absolutely terrified of needles, and terrified of thinking that one day she might have to have a baby. It was an incredible fear upon her life.
But she got married at 27 years and then, wow! Then she faced having children. Oh, my. It took three podcasts for her to share the stories. Every birth was unique. In some, she nearly lost her life. But God brought her through victoriously, and she never gave up trusting God. Oh, you’ll love to hear these stories! So, that’s coming up next!
Let’s pray, shall we?
“Lord God, we thank You so much for this great nation, Lord, a nation that You want to be a light upon a hill, a light to the world. And Father, I pray that You will give every one of us such a burden for this nation, such a burden for this coming election that determines, Lord, not only how we’ll live, but the lives of our children and grandchildren.
“Lord God, we long to live in this nation of freedom. This is really the last bastion of freedom in the world. We pray, Lord, that You will help us to keep it. I pray that You’ll raise up prayer warriors all over this nation and the world. And Lord, that everyone who loves You will begin to pray like they’ve never prayed before! Lord God, I pray for this great battery of prayer to rise up, Lord God, as we face this election.
“Lord, we know it’s a spiritual battle. It’s not flesh and blood. It’s a fight between darkness and light. It’s a fight between the kingdom of Satan, and the kingdom of God. I pray, Lord God, that You’ll touch every heart to become involved in this battle. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.”
Nancy: Amen.

DON’T KEEP THE BLESSINGS TO YOURSELF.
P.S. The Venezuelan guy and I was talking about on the podcast (and who is now a USA citizen) said to me the other day: “I’ve lost one country; I don’t want to lose another.” (I can’t give you his name because even though he escaped Venezuela, he was blackmailed even here in the States to pay so many thousands every month to the Venezuela government. If he didn’t, they sent pictures to him with soldiers pointing guns at his aging parents!)
ONE MORE REMINDER:
PLEASE VOTE FOR TRUMP!
How can I blatantly ask you who to vote for? Because, if we don’t, we face the direst consequences. A vote for Harris/Walz means that never again will have a free election. If they win this time, they will continue to steal the elections forever after.
IF YOU DON’T VOTE, IT IS STILL A VOTE. IT IS A VOTE FOR HARRIS.
A non vote is a vote! It is a vote for Harris/Walz.
That means a vote for –
Communism
Late term abortion, and even after it is born
Transgenderism and the mutilating of the bodies of the children of our nation
Increasing persecution of Christians
Increased soaring prices
Continued wars (there were no wars when Trump was in power)
Total invasion of our nation with the continuation of released murderers, rapists, convicted criminals, assassins, terrorists, and the worst of all, sex-traffickers
WHAT KIND OF A WORLD DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS?
