Introduction and Prayer
Troy acknowledges he's starting the live stream a few minutes late and addresses the comments. He expresses a desire to pray for those who are struggling and cautions that he will be discussing some heavy and potentially dark topics. He reminds listeners that in the grand scheme of things, many of the problems we face are small and emphasizes the importance of comforting those who mourn, mirroring Jesus's compassion and understanding of human suffering. Troy underscores that while his hope is for things to improve, he recognizes that ultimate perfection will only come with Jesus's return, highlighting that God's original intention was paradise, free from sin and pain, where people could fellowship with Him.
Hope and the Holy Spirit
Troy shares that having hope in one's heart allows one to endure a lot of pain. He explains that the Holy Spirit changed the trajectory of his life, making him stronger and more willing to show his weaknesses. He emphasizes that Christians are given the grace to not know all the answers or solve all the world's problems, as many issues stem from living in a fallen world and won't be resolved until heaven. However, God provides opportunities to point back to Jesus and the cross, where the biggest problem has already been solved, leading to a relationship with Him and the ability to address practical matters through the Spirit. Troy prays for those struggling with various challenges, assuring them of God's presence and comfort, which surpasses anything the world can offer. He reflects on the joy and worship of New Testament believers amidst terrible situations, highlighting that this hope comes from a nearness to God, drawn by faith in Jesus's actions, not by personal perfection.
Prophetic Words on Environmental Changes and Personal Struggles
Troy mentions he will share a prophetic word about the next seven and a half days, but first revisits past words shared regarding flooding. On June 26th, he spoke of coming environmental changes, both man-made and natural, with a headline appearing soon but full evidence delayed for about a year. On July 2nd, he shared a vision of young people struggling to swim to shore, with God saying, "I've you in my hands," meant for those feeling like they're struggling. Troy admits frustration at not understanding why God only shows parts of the picture without practical help. He expresses heartbreak for those affected by recent tragedies and reminds listeners that prophetic knowledge is often partial, referencing 1 Corinthians 13:9. While God sometimes gives direct warnings, this wasn't one of those times, and he doesn't fully understand why.
Addressing Judgment and God's Comfort
Troy addresses the tendency to pass judgment during tragedies, clarifying that such events aren't always divine retribution, referencing Luke 13:2-5 where Jesus refutes the idea that those who suffer are worse sinners. He emphasizes that everyone is sinful and needs to repent. Tragedy is often a result of the fall of man and sin in the world, a difficult reality to accept. Jesus is the answer to individual and universal sin, offering forgiveness and ultimate redemption at His second coming. Troy quotes 2 Corinthians 1:3, highlighting God as the source of all comfort in affliction. He references John 16:7, explaining that Jesus's departure was necessary for the Helper (the Holy Spirit) to come and comfort believers.
Seeking God and His Solution
Troy encourages listeners to actively seek God, especially when hurting, emphasizing the need to ask for help and comfort. He shares that God loves everyone and offers a solution for sin through Jesus Christ's death on the cross. He believes prophetic words and words of knowledge point to God's existence and awareness. Addressing the common atheist argument about the problem of pain, Troy recounts holding his deceased baby brother and questioning God's goodness. He found an answer by drawing near to God, finding comfort in His presence and the assurance that his brother is okay. Troy concludes that God himself is the answer, offering comfort available to everyone.
The Reality of Evil and God's Plan
Troy explains that tragedies are not God's fault or plan, but the result of the enemy, Satan, and the choices made by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God, in His love and mercy, created a backup plan, knowing what would happen and giving humans free will to choose love. Even when God's perfect plan was rejected, He provided another way through Jesus, who took the consequences of humanity's decisions upon Himself. Troy emphasizes that God is not a distant observer but one who came to Earth and took on the pain and death to sympathize with humanity. He encourages Christians to recognize God's closeness and presence.
Prophetic Word: "An Irresolute Action by a Wandering Prince"
Troy shares three prophetic words. The first, received on July 7th, speaks of an "irresolute action by a wandering prince" that will cause media attention within the next seven to seven and a half days. The prince is described as wandering around and void of emotion, taking responsibility for something "fishy," with his indecisiveness reminiscent of a former U.S. president, possibly President Biden. Troy offers his own theories about the identity of this "wandering prince," suggesting possibilities like Iran's exiled crown prince, another Middle Eastern prince, or even Elon Musk, who has been referred to as a "neutral prince" or "prince of capitalism" by media outlets.
Prophetic Word: "Trojan Horse Moment" in the US
The second prophetic word, from June 29th, involves a vision of a Trojan horse, indicating a "Trojan horse moment" coming soon to the United States. The Lord said that even the president could fall for it if not for the prayers of the people, as it will be seen as a good thing across the board but will be a fatal, catastrophic event if unchecked. This will work its way in through a political arm stretched out in diplomatic fashion, with foul play intended to uproot a specific aspect of government, avoiding due process and hampering a movement. Troy also shares an impression that leaders like Macron from France and the EU might be involved.
Prophetic Word: Trump and the Golfing Industry
The third prophetic word, which Troy was meant to share last week, involves a vision of a large golf ball landmark near a highway and Donald Trump playing golf. The word speaks of "leaving their mark on the golfing industry soon," a "rampart," and Trump's sons being involved in a strategy to break into a sphere they haven't been in yet, with a golf course strategy stretching into new horizons. Troy notes that the Trump organization already owns a collection of golf courses.
Prophecy Archive and the Gifts of the Spirit
Troy mentions troyblackvideos.com, which hosts a prophecy archive with over a hundred fulfilled prophecies, complete with dates, links, and summaries for verification. He emphasizes that the accuracy of these prophecies is evidence of the Holy Spirit speaking, as many could not have been guessed or known in advance. He encourages Christians to see this as evidence that God is still willing to use the gift of prophecy today and to consider what God is willing to do in their own lives. Troy stresses that God shows no partiality and gives gifts of the Holy Spirit to all believers, though He may focus on certain gifts in each person's life. These gifts are tools for God's kingdom and can be used in various spheres, not just within the church.
The Holy Spirit's Help in Daily Life
Troy shares an example of how the Holy Spirit helped him with his other channel, Filibusted, by providing a word of knowledge that led him to crucial information for a live stream. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is always there and wants to help, whether in ministry or in everyday situations. He encourages listeners not to limit what God is able to do.
Prophetic Word: Stop Striving and Know God
Troy shares a lengthy word of encouragement from June 26th, emphasizing that it aligns with scripture. He begins by quoting Psalms 46:10, "Stop striving and know that I am God." He clarifies that while striving is necessary in some areas, such as entering the believer's rest, we do not strive to be accepted by or to know God. He expects perfection, but no one can reach that standard apart from the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus. Troy references 1 Corinthians 6:9, stating that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, and emphasizes that the church needs to decide who she is willing to tolerate, as it will affect how she reflects Jesus to the world.
Purity and Discernment in the Church
Troy continues to elaborate on 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, stressing that while the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, Christians have been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God. This is the key difference, not the absence of sin, but the presence of the Holy Spirit. He warns against pastors and churches that preach it's okay to sin because of justification, stating they don't have the Holy Spirit. He says that those who truly have the Spirit don't want to continue in sin. Troy then shares that God is rooting out snakes in the culture and the church, warning that if something tastes like fruit a snake would offer, it probably is.
The Characteristics of True Disciples
Troy explains that true disciples leave you feeling full of hope, compassion, and mercy, teaching you to forgive and show mercy, not to hold grudges or condemn unnecessarily. They look at people through the eyes of a savior, walking alongside the broken and offering support. He quotes Matthew 5:3-6, highlighting the blessings for the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the gentle, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. He emphasizes that God offers life to the full and delivers on it immediately, providing cleansing, forgiveness, and acceptance.
Accepting God's Love and the Importance of Worship
Troy stresses that God's love is unconditional and was demonstrated through Christ's death while we were still sinners. He encourages listeners to say yes to God to receive life to the full and to experience the joy of being accepted in the Father's house. He senses the nearness and love of the Father, who is reaching out and drawing people closer. Troy quotes Matthew 5:3, highlighting the blessings for the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the gentle, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. He shares that the Lord said to preach the good news but to move on when it's not received, leaning on Him for strength.
The Spirit of God Rests on Believers
Troy emphasizes that the spirit of God rests on believers, who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He quotes that God will never leave or forsake them and that His joy rests within them because they have partaken of His Spirit. He encourages listeners to press further in during hard times, placing their hope in God. He assures them that God will fulfill His promises and that His hope does not disappoint. Troy shares that God will renew those who reach out to Him and hold on to Him for strength, urging them not to doubt His goodness.
Rooting Out Unrighteousness and Embracing Purity
Troy reiterates that the Lord is asking believers to worship in spirit and in truth and to root out the snakes, not supporting ministries that uphold unrighteous living and sexual immorality. He clarifies that this doesn't mean violence but rather separating oneself from those who do. He reminds listeners that they are called to be the spotless bride of Christ, referencing Matthew 5 where Jesus calls believers the salt of the earth and the light on the hill. He warns that if the salt has become tasteless, it's no longer good for anything.
Righteousness Through Christ and God's Unconditional Love
Troy emphasizes God's message of purity, reminding listeners that He expects perfection but that it's only attainable through the Holy Spirit and belief in Jesus. He quotes Matthew 5:20, stating that unless our righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. He explains that this is only possible through the new covenant, where we become the righteousness of God in Jesus. Troy encourages listeners to repent and believe they are clean and forgiven because of what Jesus did.
God's Grace and the Power of the Holy Spirit
Troy quotes Ephesians 2:3-5, reminding listeners that we all previously lived in the lust of our flesh and were by nature children of wrath, but God, being rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ. He addresses those who feel they don't get to be sons and daughters of God, stating that this is a lie from hell. God died for them because He loves them and doesn't want to be separated from them. Troy encourages listeners to accept God's love and what Jesus did for them, even if they've believed before, as it has the potential to change everything. He assures those who feel they've fallen from a high height that God's grace is still sufficient.
Walking by the Spirit and Experiencing God's Presence
Troy quotes Galatians 5:16, encouraging listeners to walk by the Spirit and not carry out the desires of the flesh. He urges them to get into the secret place, ask for nearness to God, and spend time in worship, not to earn His presence but to accept what He's done. He shares that worship is a good way to turn our hearts towards Jesus and to remind ourselves of what He's done for us and the position we have in Him. Troy concludes that you can't worship God for very long in spirit and truth without sensing His presence, as He wants to reveal Himself in a greater way than ever before.
