God Told Me THIS About the Next 7 1/2 Days.

0:01 Hey y'all, it's Troy. Five minutes late. That's actually good compared to normal. I see the comments. Um, I just want to stop and pray. Um, I'm watching the comments a little bit and I was trying to get my son and daughter out of the room so I could actually live stream and they were kind of being a little fussy, so I was asking my wife for help. But, um, yeah. Uh, I just want to pray for those in the comments. I am going to talk I will say this up front. I'm going to talk about some kind of some dark um stuff today a little bit. Um a little bit heavy. And so if you have little kids listening, just be aware, you know, or if you're not in a space where you can hear that, you know, just be aware of that. Um so I'm going to pray for those in the comments though that are that are struggling. They're having a hard time. Um, you know, my wife

0:46 reminded me yesterday, I'm like talking to her about some of the things I'm going through and stuff and she's she was reminding me like how small in the grand scheme of things, like some of the things I'm facing really are. And I know that that's the case and even things that I've, you know, faced in the past. I'm going to uh be sharing a few of those things today. Um, but it really is small in the grand scheme. And there's a really, really, really difficult place as humans where we and as Christians that know the Lord, that are spiritfilled, that know the truth, that know that we have a hope and an assurance in Christ. There's a very difficult place where God puts us sometimes that's right in the middle of of of truth and comfort to where God

1:33 says, "I'm going to put you in this person's life." And your main goal, you you may want to speak the truth right now, but your main goal and your main job is just to mourn with those who mourn and just to comfort them because that's what I would be doing, you know. And I we I love that how we see even Jesus in the Gospels when you read through it, he's he's a man, you know, that faces says he was a man of many sorrows, many griefs, and he understood all the temptations and all the pains that we go through. He felt all of those at one point. And yet a lot of times he just listens to people, you know, and he just looks at them with love and he just helps people. And he doesn't always address

2:18 the root cause of something. He doesn't always point the finger, go, "Well, if he would have." No, he just takes compassion on people. You know, and I believe that that's what the Holy Spirit does for us today. But my heart and my hope, yes, is for things to get better for every every single person listening. My heart and my hope is for things to get better in this world, in this nation, in this country, whatever country you're you're from. But I know ultimately the the perfect will come when Jesus returns. You know, and God's original intention for this world was not sin and it was not pain. It was not heartache and it was not loss. It was it was the garden

3:05 of Eden. It was perfection. And a lot of times we have a negative connotation, you know, when we think of the garden of Eden because of the story of the fall. But before that, it literally was paradise. And it wasn't just, oh, there's enough to eat. We don't have any concerns or cares. It was they got to walk with God and be in fellowship with him. And that was what we were designed for. Listen, when you have hope in your heart, you can endure a whole lot of pain. And when the Holy Spirit came into my life, it changed the trajectory of my life. And I realized, wow, if I have if I have the Holy Spirit and I have the hope that Jesus gives me because of what he did for me on the cross, I I'm a much stronger person in a lot of ways, but I'm also willing to show my weaknesses

3:52 as well. and and God has is able to give us as Christians the grace to not have to know all the answers all the time and to not have to be able to quote unquote solve the world's problems because a lot because a lot of the issues are hey we live in a fallen world and some of the things are not going to be solved this side of heaven but God gives us an opportunity to say to point back to the cross to point back to Jesus and say hey the biggest problem has been solved. The biggest issue has been solved. And out of that, he leads us into a relationship with him. And then he fills us with the spirit and he begins to show us ways to address the practical things. And we begin to experience miracles.

4:38 I've seen miracle after miracle. Now, I will say this, not every single solution has been a miracle solution. They've all been spiritled when I've allowed the Holy Spirit to lead. But sometimes the Holy Spirit just points us to a practical step to take. So I want to pray for those who are struggling right now. Whether it's struggling with recent news, struggling with your health, loss of loved ones in your own life, your finances, just the way that life has gone in general. God is right there in the middle of the struggle. He loves you. And I'm not going to promise you that everything's going to be perfect, but I know for a fact

5:24 and I believe with all my heart the God of comfort will meet you right where you are. And that he will give you a hope that is beyond anything this world could ever offer, beyond anything our minds could ever imagine. Being with the Holy Spirit and and and knowing that Jesus is with you personally is it's the greatest thing in the world. And man, I just look at the new the New Testament believers and like Stephen, you know, and the the apostles and the things they went through and and how they still had joy in their heart. They're still worshiping. I I read about the new the first century church and how the you know the followers of Jesus were still worshiping Jesus and and full of joy even in the midst of terrible

6:10 terrible situations and that's it's more than just an intellectual knowledge that gives us that that hope. It is a nearness to God. And he has that for you today. And we draw near to him by faith. Not by perfecting ourselves. Not by, well, I went to church enough. I read the Bible enough. I did this enough. I did that. No, it's by faith in what Jesus did. So, let me pray for you if that's you. Lord Jesus, I just thank you for your comfort. I thank you for your nearness. I thank you for the Holy Spirit who's here right now. that you're not just here with me in this room, Lord, but you are with every single person who's listening, no matter where they are in relation to you right now. That you are the God of all comfort. You're the God

6:55 of all peace. And I ask for supernatural peace, for supernatural joy, which is our strength. Lord, I ask that this joy would just spring up in people's hearts and they would know it's from you, Lord. It's not random. It's not a hype. It's not just It's not just hope. It's more than that. It is hope, but it's more than that. It's truth. It's who you are, Jesus. It's a real joy because you you have a real presence, Lord, and you're able to reveal yourself in a real way to people, beyond what we've experienced before, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

7:44 Lord, I know when we're in the middle of the fire like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we get to experience you in an even closer and more real way than ever before. So, I ask for that experience for every single individual listening in Jesus name. I ask for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit for every believer listening. That if there's anyone listening that doesn't know you, that they would come to know you today, Jesus. that they would put their hope and their trust in you. Jesus, you are the fulfillment of our every desire. Every good desire is fulfilled in you. And you say in your word, and I believe that it's true, that those who hope in

8:30 you will not be put to shame. We don't have all the answers every time, Lord. But we have the one who has the answers. We have the one who is the answer. Help us to draw near to you today, Jesus. In spirit and in truth. Thank you for the peace of God. Thank you for you being our shelter, Lord. You're our strong tower. We rest in you today in what you've done in Jesus name. So I'm going to be talking about some heavy things over the next few minutes. I have prayed about whether

9:17 I should share this or not. The the Holy Spirit um has asked me to go ahead and and share this. So I'm going to do that. It's heavy though and it's hard it's hard to to deal with and I've been dealing with it yesterday and praying through it. Um this I'm going to be sharing this prophetic word about the next seven days, seven and a half days actually. kind of funny. I'll be sharing that in a few minutes. But before that, I'm going to go through a couple um past words that I shared over the last couple weeks, and they have to do with I believe the flooding that's taking place. That's why it's heavy. Um so, this was shared on uh June 26th, and y'all can go watch the video. I put links to both of these original videos with the timestamps. It it'll link straight to where I share this prophetic word in the description of this video on YouTube. This was the first one I

10:03 shared. It was in uh a um it was in the video about Shawn BS. Um but it was at the very end, but if you click that link, it'll go straight to where I shared this on June 26th. Um this is what I heard. Changes are coming to the environment. Environmental changes, man-made change, an erupting of natural circumstances that have been brought on by a man-made attempt to influence and structure nature and its waves of strength. And then I heard in the next few weeks a headline will hit that points to this happening. Yet the main evidence and the lid getting taken off the situation will not come for a year or so yet. So you can take that word to the Lord in prayer. See and you know and just examine it. Examine it based on what's

10:50 happened in the news. What's still happening? I know there's still flooding happening around the world right now. Like uh even in I think Central South America and and here in the States as well. Um, strange strange times that we live in obviously. Um, then this is what I shared on July sorry July 2nd. I heard this on July 1st and the Lord told me to share it the next day and on July 2nd I shared and this was in the Trump Dantis video that I shared last week and I this is what I saw. I saw a vision of several young people in what appeared to be maybe a lake or something and they were swimming to shore but they were struggling to get to safety. And I heard the Lord say,"Ive you in my hands. Tell this to those who feel as if they're swimming to shore right now, one way or another." And when I read this

11:38 word again that I shared, you know, just a couple days before the flooding occurred, um, you know, I think I I honestly I'll just be honest. I got mad at God. That's the where I was. That's, you know, just feelings of frustration like, "Lord, you know, I'm seeing these things ahead of time. I'm hearing these things ahead of time, but what's the point?" Right. Like, right? And I know 100% that the point is to share the gospel. I know that. But but I'm I'm asking the Lord the question like Lord if you know and I know that God can share anything. He can say anything but why just show that piece of it, you know, and then not give practical help, you know, like that kind of question. And I don't I'll just be honest, I don't have all the answers. I don't have the full answer to that

12:24 question. I'm just going to let y'all know where I have been. Um right now my heart is still breaking for those who have lost their children, have lost their family members or loved ones, friends. Um my heart is still breaking for those who have been reminded of their own losses um through this tragedy. And this is uh 1 Corinthians 13:9. It says, "For we know in part and prophesy in part." So, as a prophetic person, sometimes God will give you a picture of something, a glimpse of something. You're not going to get the full picture. Not going to get the full thing. Now, sometimes God does warn and give direct warnings saying, "Hey, don't do this or do this." I've shared the story of when God told me a a vehicle was going to come off of

13:11 a trailer right at us, me and my brother Ree. And, you know, and that say potentially saved our life because I told him, "Hit the brake right now." He hit the brake and then that the rope snapped immediately after that and it came off. You know, so there have been times and there are times where God will use prophecy that way, but that was not what this was. And I don't understand the why. Um, but I think some people have kind of looked at it and said kind of used it to pass a judgment. You know, when tragedy happens. Um, and I think Jesus directly responds to that and says it's hey, it's not always it's not always a a judgment. It's not always, this is not always the wrath of God that we're seeing when things like this happen. I mean, Luke 13:2 says, "Do Jesus says, ' Do you think these Galatians were worse sinners than all the other Galatians just because they

13:56 suffered this fate?" And he says, "No." And he goes on to say, "And those that the tower of Siloam fell on, were they worse?" And he says, "No." And then he points it back to the person asking the question, and he's he's like, "You're asking the wrong question." And and then he says essentially he says, "Hey, every single person is sinful and everybody needs to repent and eventually we're all going to stand before God." And so the the the reality is, you know, when tragedy strikes in this world, it's not always a direct result of someone's sin. Sometimes it's just a result of the fall of man and sin being a part of this world. That's hard to deal with. It's a hard

14:43 reality to deal with. But here's the truth. Jesus was the answer to each individual sin. And he can forgive us in a moment as soon as we ask for it, as soon as we believe in what he's done. But he's also ultimately the answer for all of sin and all of all the pain and all the death. But we don't see the full redemption of this world until his second coming, till he comes back. But here's what I know. 2 Corinthians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction."

15:30 God has promised to comfort us in all our affliction, not just some of it. That means he's promised to be near to us because he is the God of all comfort. John 16:7, Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I'm leaving. For if I do not leave, the helper, also translated comforter, will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. So this is how God comforts us. But we've got to go to him about the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "Ask, seek, and knock." So there is a pursuit. There is an asking. There is a Lord, I'm hurting. I'm hurting and I need help. or this person's hurting and I want to comfort them, but I can't be that full

16:16 comfort to them. They need help. That would be my the only encouragement I have out of this or the first encouragement would be if you don't know Jesus, God loves you. He has a He has a solution for your sin, for my sin. And that solution is Jesus Christ died on the cross. He's the He's the son of God. He was a man and he died on a cross and he took the punishment for your sin and my sin upon himself. If you need that today and you you've never had a real relationship with God, you've wondered, "Is God there?" He absolutely is. And if nothing else, I believe these prophetic

17:02 words, these words of knowledge point to that fact that God is there and he hasn't missed a thing. And you know, every single atheist who's arguing against Christianity or God's existence at some point is going to bring up the problem of pain. It's going to bring up the problem of well, if God were if God were real or if God were good, you know, and oftentimes they're not even arguing against whether God's real or not because they know deep down, but they're arguing against the idea that God's good. And they always bring up the idea of if God were good, why would he allow these things to happen? And the only person that's going to answer that question, be able to answer that question ultimately is God himself. But I can testify to the fact and I can tell you that when I was a young boy,

17:51 I I held my my baby brother who had died in my arms and it hurt me for a long time. And I had that question. I didn't pin that on anybody else. I pinned it on God. And I had that question. Lord, if you're good, how why' you allow this to happen? And I'll tell you from personal experience, I found an answer. But the answer was when I finally came back to God and I drew near to him and I found his presence and I began and became friends with him and I received the Holy Spirit and I believed in what Jesus did. Suddenly, I had an answer that I didn't expect. I wanted a I wanted God to give me a list

18:36 of reasons why, you know, but the answer was, "Oh, if I'm in your presence, I'm okay, and he's okay. My baby brother's okay, cuz he's in your presence right now." And ultimately, everyone that believes in you is going to be there. And what I what I discovered was God was the answer I was looking for. I was looking for God to give me answers, but he was the answer. And there truly is comfort in his presence. And that's that's available for you today. It's available for me. I'm praying that over everybody that's experienced these tragedies and has been has been having to deal with this. But a lot of the times when we're asking that question, it's it's

19:24 ultimately it's a reason not to get close to God. But when we get close to him, we find out the truth. then is that this is not God's fault. This was not God's plan. See, we have an enemy, a very real enemy called Satan, and he brought a temptation to the Garden of Eden. And then Adam and Eve said yes to it. And God, because of his mercy and his compassion, his love, he came up with a backup plan. And he already knew what was going to happen. But he gave us free will because he loved us. He wanted to create some pe he wanted to create people with free will. Give them a chance to accept love be love because

20:10 they wanted it not not force them. So that's who he made. That's who we are. And even when we threw God's plan back in his face, his perfect plan back in his face, he said, "Okay, I'm going to give you another way. I'm going to but he said but the only way now is I've got to step down and I've got to take the results of this decision upon myself. And that's what he did. That's what Jesus did. And so, you know, a lot of times when the atheist is asking that question or whoever is asking that question, even Christians ask that question sometimes, you know, like if we're honest, you know, like God, what?

20:56 Like I know you're good. the Bible says you're good, but why'd you let this happen? You know, like that that question. And we've got to step back and realize, okay, God is not some God out there who's just watching things happen. God is the God who came down to earth and put himself between us and ultimate pain, ultimate death, and he took it upon himself. So, he's the God who can sympathize. He's the God who has felt what we're feeling right now. And I'm just going to say this for any Christian watching. God is a whole lot closer to you than you realize.

21:44 Right now, he's a whole lot closer to you than you realize. So, I'm going to move on because if I don't, I'm not going to get through this. But, uh, I'm still praying even today, you know, for those who have been affected by these tragedies. And I encourage you to continue praying for them. And, you know, any other way that the Lord leads me to to try to help, I'm going to do that. So, this is what I heard on July 7th. Um, this is I'm changing gears now. Um, and a couple different things. I've got three words to share. The first one July 7th, the second one's June 29th, and the third one's June 26th. Um, the first one has to do with something happening in the next seven days. The

22:30 second one is not uh the next seven days, but it is uh something that I've seen about the US and having to do with the Trojan horse. And the third one is something that the Lord asked me to share last Wednesday and I forgot and I've been in a very crazy space right now. Been facing a lot of things and I literally just put it in my notes and then it got buried and then did not get to it. So I'm going to go ahead and share it today. I'm sharing it late but that's what it is. Um so then I I've got a couple other things potentially to share but this is what I heard. July 7th, the Lord said in 7 days. And then I heard um

23:17 what was July 7th? 2 days ago. I heard this two days ago. So in 7 days. So I don't know if it's 7 days from now, the Lord knowing I was going to share it today or seven days from two days ago. One or the other. An irresolute action by a wandering prince will excite much comment from the news media and surrounding factions. That's what I heard. An irresolute action by a wandering prince will excite much comment from the news media and surrounding factions. I looked up the word irresolute and found it means showing or feeling hesitancy or uncertain. So somebody who's doing something but they're hesitant while they're doing it or it's an it's uncertain why they're doing it. Um and then I heard wandering around and void of emotion. Talking about this wandering prince

24:03 wandering around and void of emotion. He will take into his own hands a responsibility to do something something fishy. Yet his irresolution in making decisions will parallel none other than the late president of the USA. That's what I heard. And I got this impression. The Lord's talking about President Biden. I don't know. I don't think the Lord's necessarily saying that he's deceased by using that term, the late president, but I think he's talking about the former president. I think that's what he's talking about here. So, I don't know. I'm trying not to read too much into it, trying just to share it. So, obviously, some people are asking that question, why is Biden doing what he's doing? You know, what is does he really know what's going on here? And that's what the Lord is saying this is going to be like. Um, and then I got an impression right after that. And I I wasn't going to write this down because

24:49 the Lord had already said in seven days. And then I kept getting this impression of seven and a half days. Seven and a half days. I was like, okay. I wrote down seven and a half days as an impression. And so, I shared that. That's why I put that on on the thumb. But um there's a couple I'm going to give my theory now. This is not prophecy. Now that was prophecy. This is my theory and my potential interpretation. Me me me going who is this? Who is this person? This wandering prince, right? A couple theories that came to mind. Okay. Could be Iran's exiled crown prince. He's been in the news lately. Um that would make sense. a wandering prince like he had he's wandered away from his home country, you know, and he's going around doing things, that kind of thing. Uh could be another prince in the Middle East.

25:34 That's another option. Could be Elon Musk. That was another thought I had. And and I looked it up and he's actually been called um by uh media outlets, he's been called a neutral prince. He's also been called the prince of capitalism. So people have put that word title prince on him even though we don't have princes here in the United States. So, I don't know if it's any of those people, okay? I'm just saying those are my thoughts if you want to know. So, my thoughts don't don't really play into it much though, cuz I could easily be wrong about that. So, anyways, we'll have to wait and see what actually happens. Um, this is what I heard. June 29th, I saw a vision of a Trojan horse made out of wood. So the idea of Troy, the city of Troy, and they got in and they took over by hiding in this big wooden

26:21 horse and they gave it as a gift, right? So that idea of uh like a sneaking in through uh you know false pretenses. And then I heard the Lord say this, a Trojan horse moment coming very soon within this nation. Talking about the US and he said, even your president himself will fall for it if it is if it is not for the prayers of my people. So he didn't say if it were not for the prayers of my people. He said if it is not for the prayers. So I think there's a there's a uh a petition right there to pray right so that that doesn't happen. He said even your president himself will fall for it if it if it is not for the prayers of my people. And he said they are going to see this as a good thing across the board almost that whatever this Trojan horse is they're going to

27:07 see it as a good thing. And and he said, 'But it will be fatal, a catastrophic event if unstopped and left unchecked. Then I heard this will work its way in through a political arm stretched out in diplomatic fashion. However, there will also be direct foul play in mind. A strategic placement meant to uproot a specific as a a aspect of government. Putting their mark on a specific aspect of government, avoiding due process, hampering a movement. Then I heard this is how they will get in. They will slip under the radar unnoticed. And then right after this, I don't know if it's related or not, but I'm just going to say it because right after this, I saw a vision of Mcronone uh from France and I got this impression that uh

27:55 he might have something to do with this or leaders like him. So either him or leaders like him. You could probably put him on a list of leaders like Mcronone, right? Probably write a list. Um and then I got this impression that the EU uh might be involved as well. So those are impressions. I'm going share it from that perspective, but yeah, interesting. I do not know what the Trojan horse is. Um maybe maybe some people listening already know what this is. Um but I'll I'll be praying about it if the Lord shows me anything else. But this is one of those things where I think it's going to be very obvious for those that uh have heard this word. You know, I'm going to obviously obviously be watching for this, but I think it's going to be pretty obvious once we see it like what that is. I don't think it's going to be a super super hard to to recognize, but

28:40 it will be hard to recognize for those that don't know that there's foul play happening. Um because he says they're going to see it as a good thing across the board almost. Um so interesting. But he did say it would be through a political arm stretched out in diplomatic fashion. Some sort of agreement, some sort of like proposal or something from another uh world leader probably. That would be my guess. But here's the one I missed last week. I was supposed to share this last week. Um June 30th is when I heard it and I was supposed to share it last Wednesday and I totally missed it. But I saw a vision of a large golf ball almost like a landmark. It looked like it was hoisted above uh like a golf course next to a highway was what I was seeing. And it was like, you know, like if it were on a big pole or something or a tower. And then I saw um Trump I saw

29:29 Donald Trump playing golf and uh I heard leaving their mark on the golfing industry soon. And then I heard a rampart and then I heard his sons will be involved in this one. A strategy to break into the space a sphere they haven't been into yet. Then I heard a golf course strategy stretching into new horizons. And I I looked it up because I had this thought. It was like I I know Trump has at least one golf course or two. I looked it up the Trump golf they already own a collection of golf courses. Um so they have a whatever you would call that golf company or whatever you know. So that's interesting. Um I saw some things in the news this weekend about Trump playing golf. So when I saw that I was like oh man I wonder if that's what's

30:14 going on here. I wonder if that was why the Lord asked me to share it last week. I don't think that's necessarily the case. Um because some of this has to do with stuff that seems like it hasn't happened yet. So that's why I'm going to go I'm going I'm going ahead and sharing it now trying to be obedient even though I'm late. Um but yeah, interesting stuff. Not really sure what's going to happen there. But um it's it's out there. It's public now. So we'll be able to follow up. Also, if y'all are new to this ministry and you're just watching for the first time, I'll say this before moving on. We have a website troyblackvideos.com where we have a prophecy archive. We've placed over a hundred fulfilled prophecies on here. These are words that I shared publicly and the links, the public links are available still. The dates are available. All of that you can verify that they were shared, when they were

31:00 shared. And then also we we show the results. We show we have a summary of what happened and you can read that. And then also the links to the articles and all that. So it's essentially evidence that these words are consistent. They're accurate that and it's it's evidence that the Holy Spirit is truly speaking. There's no way. I would say probably 70% of those words, there's no way when you actually read through it that I could have known or guessed ahead of time what was going to happen. Now, some of them I would I would say, yeah, somebody could could guess and get one right here or there, but there's no way to keep getting it right. You know, even if somebody were guessing, that would that would be impossible to keep getting things right by guessing. It just doesn't make any sense, right? That's the it's it's very clear evidence that the Holy Spirit is speaking. And if

31:45 y'all go read the evidence, if if you're new to this channel or if you have questions, um that's what it's there for. So hopefully that's encouraging. Also, if you're a Christian and you believe in prophecy, you know, it's just very encouraging to see like, wow, this God is still willing to use this gift today. And it I think it helps to raise that question like if God's willing to do this here, what is he willing to do in my life? you know, and the answer is God is willing to do far more than we could ask, pray, or imagine. You know, like he's he's he's capable and he's willing and there's no difference between me or you or any other believer. The word says God shows no partiality. So God doesn't speak to me because I'm special. God speaks to me because I'm a Christian. And yes, I know I have the

32:31 gift of prophecy. you know, God uses the gift of the word of knowledge and that kind of stuff in my life, but God gives his gifts, the gifts of the Holy Spirit to to all believers. So, God's probably going to focus uh, you know, on a certain a certain gift in each believer's life or a couple different gifts, something like that. So, it's going to look different, but God has gifts for you. God has gifts for his people. You know, he uh he is our good father. He knows how to give good gifts to his children. And so, he has a plan and a purpose. The gift is not the plan. The gift is not the purpose. The gift is just oftentimes the means. It's one of those tools that God uses. But he does have a gift for you and he has a way that he wants to use you in his kingdom. And that's going to be part of it. So, it's not always going to look like a ministry focus directly. You know, God

33:17 can use the gift of prophecy in business. God can use the gift of word of knowledge in a uh a hospital situation. You know, like there's all these different places, all these different ways that God can use um the gifts of the spirit. He uses the gift of comfort uh you know in so many different um spheres not just ministry but in all these different industries. He uses the gift of administration in a bunch of different industries. So God don't limit the gifts of the Holy Spirit to just inside the church building man. Take the Holy Spirit with you. He is with you if you're a Christian sun uh you know Sunday but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. All the days of the week the Holy Spirit is able to you know and and even I'm not even kidding. So I'll just give you all example. So, I've started this other channel called Filibusted where we talk about news commentary and all that. I started that because of a prophetic

34:03 word. God spoke to me last year and said after we did the film The Out Liar, he said, "Next, I want you to do a podcast and this is what it needs to look like." And I was like, "Okay." And then uh when I got overwhelmed the first like couple months of doing it, I was like, "There's so much work involved. There's so much this. There's so much that." I was like, "Lord, I need help." You know, and I just prayed. There was one night where I had not prepared for the next morning and I was supposed to do a live stream on a certain topic and I was like, I don't know what to do, you know, and uh I just prayed. It was like 12 at night. I said, "Holy Spirit, I need wisdom." And I got a word of knowledge about information I didn't know that showed me exactly what I needed to find for that topic. And I literally I got a word knowledge was like, "Whoa." Googled it and was like, "This is real and it has

34:49 exactly to do with this topic I'm supposed to be talking about." I was like, "This is amazing." You know, but it was like the Holy Spirit can use the he's he he he is there. He's there. He wants to help you. And sometimes it's going to look like directly ministry focused and other times it's just God is there and he's able to help us. Um and so don't don't put a limit is what I would say on what God is able to do. But yeah, how much time Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. So, I'm going to I'm going to read through this. The Lord gave me a word um a kind of a lengthy word, but it's a word of encouragement. June 26. And it has to do with I think everything I've talked about today. I'm gonna read through this and then be done. And and I I've added some verses here because so that you know like these things that I'm hearing line up with scripture. Okay? It's not there out of the blue, but it's

35:36 it's prophecy. It's got to agree with the word of God. Especially prophetic teaching, words of encouragement. These things are not going to disagree with the scripture. The scriptur is our foundation for the truth. Now Jesus came and he he revealed the truth and grace of God to us. They were revealed through Jesus Christ. And it and the word says in these last days he's spoken through his son. That doesn't mean that prophecy ceased after the scripture was finally written because it doesn't say in these last days he's spoken through the scripture. It says he's spoken through the son. What does that mean? Everything that we have from God, everything that's revealed to us from God, we have access because of what Jesus did. And all of the foundational tenants and and core

36:22 truths of Christianity come through Jesus and by Jesus and from Jesus. It's all based that scripture means it's all based on what Jesus did. It's all based on what Jesus did. Even being filled with the spirit, Jesus himself, he said it said it's better for you if I go away. If I don't go, the Holy Spirit won't come. He sent the Holy Spirit to us. If you don't get the Holy Spirit from Jesus, you're not going to get the Holy Spirit. So that's why you have these strange weird mixtures and spiritualism and like new age and all this trying to mix in with Christianity. And guess what? It never ever works. Why? And you can see it. You spot it immediately. Why? Because if you're a believer in Jesus, he's the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through him. Guess what? You have the Holy Spirit. And he's going to give you the gift of discerning of spirits. So

37:08 you know that person's not speaking by the spirit. They don't have the Holy Spirit. There's a difference. They've got a different spirit. That's how we know who's of the truth and who's not. Some people are going to be led by a different spirit. It's not the Holy Spirit. Why? Because they're not coming to God through Jesus. They're trying to get in a different way. They're a thief or a robber. That's what Jesus said. They don't go through the door. Jesus is the door. When we come through the door, we can be sure. We can be assured that we don't have to be afraid of seeking God and pursuing him. We don't have to be afraid of the devil intercepting those prayers or intercepting that request or whatever it is or intercepting that pursuit of him. Jesus said, "No, your father knows how to give good gifts to his children. He's going to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask." So June 26, this is what I

37:54 heard. I heard the Lord say, "I want you to stop with the striving and begin to know know who it is you are dealing with." He's talking about himself. He said what he is like and what he expects. Then I and this is Psalms 46:10. It says, 'Stop striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted on the earth. So do we do we strive in some areas? Yes. The word says strive to enter into the believer's rest. That was going to shake some people up. But we do not strive to be accepted by God or to know him. He says, "Stop striving and know that I am God." In Psalms 46:10, we don't

38:39 strive to be known by God. We accept what Jesus has done. We accept what Jesus has done. I heard the Lord say this next. He said, "I expect perfection." Now, this is God's standard. This is the standard. It says, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." What is what is his standard? It's perfection. I heard the Lord say, "I expect perfection." And not one individual could ever reach that apart from my spirit inside of them, changing them from the inside out, apart from my blood which was shed on your behalf at Calvary. So what is he saying? He's saying, "Hey, the standard's perfection." And everybody's missed it. Not just those outside the church. Everyone in the church, out out of the church, raised in church, not raised in church, everybody's missed it except for Jesus. And the Holy Spirit is just

39:26 reminding us here saying, "Hey, the only way to be pleasing to God is number one, through faith in Jesus, what he did for us at the cross." And then number two, guess what? When we have faith in him, the Holy Spirit comes into our lives and he begins to change us and sanctify us and transform us to look more like Jesus. And guess what? We actually start to walk in line with the righteousness that we receive through faith in Jesus. That's good news. That means we don't have to live in that sin cycle. and the consequences of it anymore. 1 Corinthians 6:9 says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?" So now the Lord is drawing a line in the sand here. And you're going to see it in this prophetic word in a few minutes what he's saying. He's drawing a line in the sand. He's saying that my church, and I

40:12 just hear the Lord saying that my church needs needs to decide who she is and and who she's willing to tolerate and put up with in this season because it's going to change the way she reflects my son to the world over the next several years, whether or not she's willing to indulge in and put up with sinful lifestyles. My church has a decision to make is what I hear the Lord saying. Look, okay, I'm going to read this verse. You're going to see what God's saying, what the Holy Spirit is saying here. 1 Corinthians 6:9, uh, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolattors, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers,

40:59 nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." So this is not a full list. We see that because it says, "Such were some of you." Such were some of you. So, what is he saying? He's saying some of y'all were on that list is what he's saying. But guess what? We're all on the list because this is not a full list. We've all fallen short of the glory of God. Even if that even if our sin is not on that list, guess what? Our sin still puts us on the list, right? Says, "But you were, watch this. But you," talking about Christians, were washed. This is the difference. The difference is not, oh, I I I put that away and I've never had a lustful thought again in my life and I've never I've never ever messed up even once. That's not the difference because no one's done that. The difference is but you were washed,

41:47 but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the spirit of our God. This is the is the same thing that I heard in this word. It's saying you were washed by the blood of Jesus. That's how you were justified. And then and it says, "But you were sanctified." And it says, "You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the spirit of our God." Another place in scripture, it talks about how the Holy Spirit actually sanctifies us. So he's changing us. What is he saying here? He's saying you're washed by the blood and you have the Holy Spirit. He's saying that's the difference. That's the difference. Now, does that mean we continue in sin? Because, well, I've been I've been justified. No. Listen, my friend. If you truly have the Holy Spirit, you don't want to continue in sin. That's that's

42:34 another big difference for the for the pastors and the churches that are preaching, well, it's okay to sin now because we've been justified by the blood. Guess what? They don't have the Holy Spirit. And they haven't been justified. Why? Because there's no way that the Holy Spirit would allow them to continue preaching that heresy if he was actually living inside of them. There's no way that they would be comfortable preaching that. And if they are preaching that and they and they do have the spirit, guess what? They are they are grieving him to the max and it's not gonna it's not going to last very long. That's a branch that God's going to cut off. Jesus said, you know, the branches that bear bad fruit, don't bear fruit, they're going to get those trees are going to get uprooted. Speaking of uprooting, the next thing I heard was the Lord say, 'I'm rooting out a lot of the snakes in the culture right

43:20 now as well as in the church. And then he said this. He said, 'If it tastes like fruit a snake would hand you. Talking about referencing back to Satan in the snake in the garden, right? Whether it was sna Satan or just a snake being inspired by Satan, whichever way, whatever it was, it was a demonic, it was a satanic temptation. He says, "If it" And then the Lord said, "If it tastes like fruit a snake would hand you, it probably is." How do you ta How do you taste the difference? You got the Holy Spirit inside of you. We know there's something dirty about sin. There's something very very dirty about justifying sin and teaching people to justify sin.

44:06 The Lord said the true disciples leave you feeling full, full of hope, not hopelessness. See, this is the difference because the world's way and the devil's way is going to appeal to the fleshly desires. God's way is not going to not going to appeal to the fleshly desire, but it is going to give us hope, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, the fruit of the spirit. It's going to fill us with the fruit of the spirit. We're going to be left feeling full. And guess what? God provides for our God meets our needs as well. God meets our needs at the same time. He knows we have a physical body. He knows we have physical needs. a mental needs, mental needs, emotional

44:52 needs. But in God's kingdom, it starts with the spiritual. The true disciples leave you feeling full, full of hope, not hopelessness. Then I heard full of compassion and mercy, not envy or ruthlessness. They teach you to forgive, not hold a grudge, to show mercy, not condemn unnecessarily. to look at people through the eyes of a savior to walk alongside the broken and hurting and to offer support to carry the weight of those who cannot carry it themselves. I heard the Holy Spirit, the the Lord say, "I came to those who were poor in spirit, the crushed and abandoned, the brokenhearted." And then I heard him say, "And I want you to do the same." So

45:37 this is a loving appeal. And he's he's appealing to us as the church, as the body of Christ, saying, "This is how I was when I came when Jesus walked on the earth, and this is how he expects us to be." Matthew 5 3-6. And I've got some good news in a second for those that are like, "Man, this feels heavy." I got some good news, okay? Matthew 53 3-6. And this is good news. This really is because it changes everything. You know, like sin offers us things that it cannot ever ever deliver on. But God offers us life and life to the full. And guess what? He delivers on it immediately. Immediately because there's nothing like knowing that I've been cleansed. There's nothing else like it. Knowing that God's

46:22 forgiven me and he loves me and he's accepted me. And listen, my friend, he loves you whether you've accepted him or not. His love is unconditional. Is not conditional on whether you've said yes or not. He's already poured his love out for you at the cross. It says, it says that this is how God demonstrated his love to us. That while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. That means he loved you before you ever tried to clean yourself up or do anything right. Me as well, because we all start in the same place. We all need his mercy and his grace. But he has so much more than that for us. He has so much more. And we've got to say yes to him to receive the more to actually come into fellowship with him to actually receive life and life to the full. That's what Jesus came to give us.

47:08 And that moment where we say yes and we believe and we know I am accepted in the father's house. I have a family that nobody can ever take away from me now. I have a friend who sticks closer than a brother. I have a father who loves me and will never stop loving me. Like there is nothing like that. There's nothing else in this world that compares. And that's true for you if you've believed in Jesus. And man, I just sense the the the nearness of the Lord and just the the love of the father right now. He is begging you. He's drawing out. He's he's reaching his hand out to you. He's drawing people and he's saying, "Come in. Come closer. I want to show you this in a real way. I don't want you to just hear about it. I want you to know it tangibly. I want you to know that I'm near, that

47:53 I'm with you, that I'll never leave you. because you know me. You know what I'm like. This is what I hear the Lord saying. Look at this. Matthew 5:3. Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be what? Satisfied. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. I heard the Lord say, "Preach the good news to the world, but realize that some will not receive it. And when they do, rejoice. When they do not, move on and lean on me for the strength you need."

48:40 Luke 10:11, Jesus says something very similar. Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you. Yet be sure of this that the kingdom of God has come near. So some people will just say no. Some people it'll take a long time, right? Sometimes you move on forever and other times I'm going to keep praying for you. I'm gonna keep loving on you when I get the chance, but I'm going to move on for a season because God's instructing me to and then I'm going to come back, right? Because I'm not going to give up on you. And God hasn't either. But the Lord is telling us to focus on where the fruit is happening right now, where the where the fruit's being harvested. I I heard the Lord say, "My spirit rests on you, my people." This is what the Lord is asking you to believe today as a Christian. The spirit of God

49:28 rests upon you. You have the anointing because the anointing is him. It's the Holy Spirit. He's right there with you. I hear the Lord saying, "I'll never leave you or forsake you. My joy rests within you because you've partaken of my spirit. The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. The same spirit that gave him the strength to endure trials that he walked through on this earth. The Lord is saying, "The same joy set before him, I've set before you because my spirit is more than enough to meet your every need and I'm with you." I hear the Lord saying, "I won't I won't

50:13 leave you alone. I'm not going to leave you. Just because it gets hard doesn't mean I I go away or that I've left you alone. When it's hard, those are the times to press further in, to take all your hope out of those little things that you're still placing some of it in and put it in me. I hear the Lord saying, "I will fulfill the things I've said to you. My hope does not disappoint. I hear the Lord saying there are many

51:00 people looking for hope today. I hear the Lord saying, "I will renew you as you reach out to me, as you hold on to me for strength." I hear the Lord saying, "Don't doubt the goodness of God anymore. Act like I'm good and you'll see it. Believe that I'm good because I say I am." I hear the Lord saying, "And I will show my goodness to you in the land of the living. I hear the Lord saying, "My friends, I have faith for you. Even when you don't feel like you have any faith of your

51:46 own, I'm going to give you faith to stand. You just surrender. Just come back. Keep coming back. Don't wander away. We're going to see this thing through. Thank you, Lord." So, I'm going to finish reading this um because I'm almost out of time, but the Lord said, uh, "My spirit rests on you, my people. I'm right there and I'm helping those who are reaching out to me." But he said, "But you've got to worship in spirit and in truth." And some of my people are learning that at this time. And then he said, he's talking about the church in general and the organization or whatever, but he said root out the snakes and don't be afraid of chopping

52:31 off the heads of the ministries that uphold unrighteous unrighteous living and sexual immorality. He said, "Don't support them." And I'm going give an aside in a second about that. He said, "Don't let them continue in the way they've been going. It's only going to get worse. Take out the head if you can." And the impression I got was God is not promoting violence of any kind. He's not talking about attacking a person or people of any kind. That's not what he's saying. But he asked me to clarify. He said, 'I don't mean the people who are over an organization, but rather the means by which they operate. And then he clarified more and he said, ' Don't support them. Don't give them opportunity to speak into your life. Don't run with those who do. Then I heard, I want you to separate yourself, my people, because I have called you a bride, the bride of Christ, and I'm looking for my spotless bride upon my

53:16 return. And I was just reminded of Matthew 5 where Jesus talks about how we are the salt of the earth. He calls us the light on the hill, right? And a lot of times a, you know, any any church will preach that you're the light to the world, right? But it's easy to to say light can look like this or light can look like that or that. But that's why Jesus put that verse with you are the salt of the earth because then he says if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It's no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people. So he's saying, "Hey, the the the saltiness is going to change the flavor. It's going to change the flavor. And if it's not working, something's wrong." He's saying you've you've the the truth has gone out of the message.

54:04 So again, coming back to, you know, God has been preaching this message of purity. You know, it's it's a message of he literally said, "I expect perfection, but not one individual could ever reach that." And then he talked about being filled with the spirit, being sanctified, and then also, you know, believing what Jesus has done. And that's really what what does it. But this is the good news today. This is the good news. Matthew 20, Matthew 5:20, the same passage where he talks about be you're the salt of the earth. You're the light of the world. He says, "For I say to you that unless your righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." They were the most religious and legalistic people on the planet. They did the law, you know, jot for jot, tit for tit, if

54:52 those are the right words I'm looking for. Like line for line. They did everything. They checked all the boxes. And yet in their heart, their heart was not surrendered to God. And but Jesus says, "Unless your righteousness surpasses far surpasses them, you're not even going to enter the kingdom of heaven." What was he doing? He was breaking down the ability to please God through the old covenant and saying there's only one way to please God. Now it's through the new covenant. He's saying you should might as well come over and realize it's by grace and through faith. Now see the word says that he who knew no sin became sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in him. It says for I say that unless your righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees. Guess what? When you become the righteousness of God in

55:39 Jesus, your righteousness far surpasses the scribes and the Pharisees. You don't have enough righteousness of your own. I don't have enough righteousness. But Jesus died on a cross and he took all of our sin upon himself and he gifted us his righteousness. Now the word says we've become the righteousness of God in him. So start right there today. If you say, "Well, there's things I need to change." Start right there. Have a moment with the Lord. Say, ' Lord, these are the things I need to repent of, but I believe that Jesus died for me. And I believe I'm clean. I'm clean. I'm forgiven. Not because I've done everything right, but because of what Jesus did. And I'm going to see myself like that. And I'm going to listen. How do you know if it's working? How do you know if you've got it? When you truly

56:26 believe that praise is the is the natural response is just joy and praise and thank you Jesus for dying for me. Thank you that you did that for me when I couldn't do it for myself. This is Ephesians 2:3 says among them we too all previously lived in the lust of our flesh and none of us have done this right. None of us are any better than anybody else is what it's saying. It says, "Indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the rest." Verse four says, "But God being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved." So because God was gracious to us, because he is love, because he's so merciful, Jesus

57:13 died for us when we didn't deserve it, so that we could inherit real life, true life. And there are some people as as I'm reading this verse, the Lord is showing me there's some people that literally are thinking that's I'm the rest, and I don't get to be, you know, it says we were by nature children of wrath just as the rest. Some people are saying that's me. I'm in that category, and I don't get to be in this category. his sons, sons and daughters of God. I don't get to be in that category. And the Holy Spirit is saying that is a lie straight from the pit of hell. God died for you. For that person that's having that thought, God died for you because he loves you and he does not want to be separated from you. He's always loved you and he's never going to give up on you.

58:03 Just accept it today. Just accept his love. Accept what Jesus did for you. Even if you've already believed it before, accept it all over again. It will radically change your life. It has the potential to change everything. God loves you so much. And those that you feel like you were doing good and like that stock price, you've fallen from a high height, right? And you had God had grace for you before but not now. That's another lie. That's another lie. The truth is his grace is sufficient for you today. He loves you just the same. The blood of Jesus is still working same way it

58:50 worked 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago. God loves you so much. This is Galatians 3:16. It says, "But I say walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." God has his holy spirit he wants to fill you with today. Just get into the secret place. Get get into the Lord's presence and ask. Say, "Lord, I want to experience nearness to you today. He's right there." And I I would encourage you just for for me personally, a lot of times what I'll do is spending time with the Lord. A lot of times it's just worship. I just start worshiping the Lord. And it's not I'm not earning his presence, but I'm accepting what he's done. I'm being grateful for what Jesus has done. It's such a good way to turn our hearts towards Jesus and realize it's it's a

59:35 reminder to our heart, to our mind. It's a reminder to ourselves when we worship him and we put the glory, give him the glory and put the spotlight back on him. It's a reminder to ourselves of what he's done for us and the position we have in Jesus and how close he is to us, how near he is. And listen, you can't worship God for very long in spirit and truth without sensing his presence. It doesn't take very long. He's right there. He wants to reveal himself to you in a greater way than ever before. I love y'all so much. I hope this was encouraging and I'll see you all next time.
