Introduction and Prayer
Troy Black introduces the video, mentioning that he has a specific word from God to share regarding events in the United States, which he believes will have broader implications. He begins with a prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide his words and asking that listeners receive divine insight and understanding. He also acknowledges followers waiting for updates on previous prophetic words, assuring them that follow-ups will be provided soon, and directs new viewers to his website for a prophecy archive.
The Importance of Seeking God
Troy shares Luke 23:27, where Jesus tells the mourning women to weep for themselves and their children because of the difficult times ahead. He connects this to the present, urging listeners to ensure they are right with God as challenging times are coming. He highlights Jesus's compassion for others even in His own suffering, encouraging viewers to seek a close relationship with God, who offers presence, glory, comfort, and love. He quotes Acts 17:24-27, emphasizing that God created everything and determined the times and places for each person so they would seek Him.
The Appeal to Reconciliation with Christ
Troy addresses those who feel distant from God, emphasizing that God desires a close relationship with them, made possible through Jesus's death on the cross. He counters the idea that focusing on prophetic words is enough without a relationship with Jesus, stating that the most significant problem is the separation from God due to sin, which Jesus fixes. He appeals to viewers to be reconciled to Christ, turn to Him with their whole heart, and accept His forgiveness. Troy stresses that God is always near and will judge the world through Jesus, urging repentance and a return to God's presence.
Prophetic Word for the Next Two Weeks
Troy shares a prophetic word he received on July 13th regarding the next two weeks, which includes a "rumbling" or "hiccup" within the United States, followed by a "point of confrontation." He mentions a "collaboration of individuals gathering together to get something done" that will fail despite being temporarily announced as a success, leading to a "debacle," which he associates with images of January 6th. He also notes the current confrontation related to Epstein and the desire for answers.
Call to Peace and Unity
Troy relays that the Lord said to "pray for a nation in turmoil" and that "even friends are angry with one another at the moment." He encourages everyone to "settle down and speak peace one to another" and to "watch the result when you start to instruct in the way of peace instead of teaching people how wrong they are." He emphasizes the need to "bridge the divide, heal the wound" through love, compassion, gentleness, and forgiveness. He urges listeners to work together instead of tearing one another apart, highlighting that the only way to get through the current season unscathed is for believers to stand together, hold hands, and look out for the needs of others.
God's Purpose and New Opportunities
Troy shares that God placed His people in their current locations and times for a reason, to be ambassadors for Christ and for the good of others. He encourages listeners to set aside their concerns to hear God's voice more clearly and fulfill His purpose in this season, emphasizing that it is a heart issue for many. God wants His people to return to the center, where it is just them and Him, planting seeds for the kingdom instead of being against the world. He notes there are more opportunities than ever to share the Gospel and that God will show interesting and creative ways to do so, using new structures and technologies available today.
Overcoming Fear and Embracing Joy
Troy encourages listeners to lay down the fear of missing out and to recognize that they have everything they need in Christ. He emphasizes that worldly achievements are meaningless compared to the peace and joy that come from Christ. He states that true joy is a gift from the Holy Spirit and that believers have something to give to others: the joy of knowing the Lord. He encourages listeners to rely on the Holy Spirit in difficult times, which will lead to greater joy and opportunities to share their faith.
Forgiveness, Mercy, and Hope
Troy returns to Luke 23, highlighting Jesus's forgiveness of those who were crucifying Him. He encourages listeners to accept and replicate Jesus's forgiving nature, understanding that it is based on God's grace. He notes that there will be sneering and rejection, but believers have a joy set before them and the presence of God with them. He contrasts the criminal who hurled abuse at Jesus with the one who recognized Jesus's innocence and asked to be remembered in His kingdom. Troy concludes by reminding listeners that even when they feel far away or have made mistakes, it is not too late to receive Jesus's mercy and be with Him in paradise.
