What God Just Told Me about the Vote. (and the American church)

Hey y'all, this is Troy. So I heard something late last night as I was falling asleep. I had to get out of bed to write it down, and it's a short message about tomorrow, about the vote, the midterm elections here in the United States. And then also I heard a word back on October 26 that is a message for the American church. Now I believe it's going to apply to more places than just that, because the principles behind the word can apply to many different people. But specifically, the Lord spoke about the church here in the United States and, again, could apply other places as well. Let's jump in real quick. This word is not going to be very predictive in nature. Rather, it is, I believe, an appeal from the Lord, what you might call a last-minute appeal. I know that a lot of people that listen to my videos are probably fairly conservative in a lot of ways, if not full-fledged Republicans. But I also get some. more liberal thinkers on here for various reasons, and welcome if that's you, and I believe that's why the Lord is speaking this today. There is a lot of room for criticism of the Republican Party, absolutely. There's a lot of room for criticism when it comes to the policies or especially the people in some cases that are involved. I'll give you an example in a few minutes of something I've had to deal with personally. Um, but I believe the Lord is speaking very clearly and he's kind of, and he's essentially cutting through some of the noise. Now you have to take this word to the Lord in prayer. You have to ask the Holy spirit to confirm it to you. But if you've believed in Jesus as your Lord and savior, you have the Holy spirit inside of you. You can hear his voice, even if it's as simple as the peace of God confirming what's being shared or not his peace, not confirming what's being shared, but you can take it to the Lord in prayer. And, and I believe you should. However, I have shared some more predictive words about the election season. Those are up on screen. What I heard about the midterm elections, three prophetic words streamed a month ago. There's, I saw the November election, and that was two months ago. Prophetic word for the midterms, that was seven months ago. And then another one after the elections. What I heard last night, what I saw coming after the elections, I've linked those below. So if you want to watch any of those probably before tomorrow, because that's when it's going to be the most relevant, they're available. But also we'll be following up on the predictive elements after the fact as well, just to let you all know that that is what we do. So if you want to see any other follow-ups, we make those available as often as we can in the archive on my website, TroyBlackVideos.com. You can go and search by phrase or by date for specific follow-ups there for those that are new to this channel. Also, while you're there, you can find links to how to support these videos if you ever feel led, but also to my books as well, the newest being Trump and the End Times. This book is getting some really good reviews. Highly encourage you to pray about or at least go read the reviews and read the description and pray about getting a copy. Some of the five-star reviews here, must read as soon as possible. This book is a must read for everyone, especially Christians. Easy to read, very well written. I'm so glad I have a copy. This one, amazing book, wow, it says this book is a must read if you're interested in the prophetic and God's plan. I recommend this book for believers and non-believers, and that's really cool. Hoping and praying that some non-believers read it as well. Obviously, I put the gospel into the middle of it, just in case, because I believe we are meant to be the salt, but also the light unto the world, and I don't want to waste an opportunity to share the gospel when I get that chance to. So there's that. Let me pull up this word I heard last night. This is what I heard. Again, it's not predictive, but it is, I believe, a direct appeal. As I was falling asleep, I heard these words, and I had to jump up and write them down. I heard, I want my people to vote. pro-life, independent of me saying it directly, but I will say it if I need to. And I kept hearing this, and I was thinking, ah, I'll write this down tomorrow, but I know I wouldn't have remembered it in the morning, probably. You know, you don't typically remember things that you think about right before you fall asleep. But I kept hearing it, and so I knew the Lord wanted me to get up and write this down. What's the Lord talking about here? This implies there's wisdom based on Scripture and common sense as a believer that would convince us to vote this way, right, in a pro-life fashion. Now, again, does that mean that all of the Republican policies are perfect? No, that's not what that means. Does that mean there's no room for reform on the Republican side? No, that's not what that means. I believe there's a lot of room for reform, and I'm going to be fighting for it. And I believe that there's a place for Christians in politics, either getting involved directly or indirectly by voting and who you support. Who you talk about, that kind of stuff. I believe, and fund, all that kind of stuff, I believe there's a place for Christians to drastically affect the political arena, especially within the conservative movement, the broader conservative movement, over the next two years, especially, but even after that, I believe there's going to be a lot of opportunity over the next two years for us to affect this movement for good and to make it look more like what it ought to look like because it is not perfect by any means. Um, so if you, if you would vote otherwise based on any, anything that you've heard, any arguments you've heard online, whatever it is, here's, this is my loving appeal to you is just to pray about it and say, Holy Spirit, is this what you're truly saying? Is this from you? And I got a word back in 2016 where the Holy Spirit asked me to vote for Donald Trump when I was in a place personally where I didn't understand why, the reasons why, right? And I was like, well, okay, but the Lord, I knew the Holy Spirit was saying it. I knew very clearly that was what he was saying when I humbled my heart and said, who do you want me to vote for? I am facing or I've been facing the same. Thank kind of predicament lately. So this, what I personally heard here, this is what I heard this week. If just for this reason alone, you've got to, this is the Holy Spirit's response to me not wanting to vote when it comes to the Senate election here in, midterm election here in Texas, you. the state I live in. We've got James Talarico on one side and Paxton on the other. And Talarico, So let's go. I shared a whole word about him from the Holy Spirit, but I know the Holy Spirit's not behind him. He's pushing all sorts of things that are very unscriptural, unbiblical, and it's a lie about Christianity. And if he's willing to lie about what the Bible teaches, about what Jesus would say and do, and what Jesus teaches, then you can know he's willing to lie about a lot of other things as well. And he's just using it as a platform to get ahead and to try to get votes, But then on the other side, you've got someone like Ken Paxton, who has very questionable behavior and histories and decisions he's made and all that stuff. And I'm like, I feel like we don't have a good choice, right? And there's an internal struggle or has been of like, do I even go and vote for this guy, right? Uh, but the, you know, all I did was I prayed about it. I prayed about it cause I didn't have peace over not doing anything. And the Lord said, I want you to go vote. And so I did. Right. And I went and, uh, voted in the early elections, the early voting. Uh, and then the Lord said, if just for this reason alone, you've got to, he's talking about the pro-life issue. That's what he's talking about. If just for that reason alone. Now there's other reasons on top of that. Uh, but the Lord saying that's a good enough reason, uh, to cast your vote. So our wisdom Cannot come from only talking points, political talking points. And if we're listening to the media on one side or the other and our initial response when somebody says, hey, why did you vote that way? Or why are you thinking about it? If our initial response is and we go directly to the things we've heard other people say, we've got to understand people can lie. People can stretch the truth that politicians are going to because they want to get votes. They're going to paint themselves in the best light possible, whether it's true or not. But as Christians, we've got to go back to the Word of God, and we've got to go to the Holy Spirit. And God has put principles and truths in His Word that do not change, and He's given us of His Spirit, for those that know Jesus, and He's going to help us to make a wise decision, but also the right decision. And the wise decision and the right decision oftentimes go hand in hand, but there are times where the world would say, this is wise, but the Holy Spirit's saying something else, and His wisdom looks different than the world's wisdom. So, There's that. There's not a lot to it, but that's what I heard, and that's what I felt led to share today. The actual voting is taking place tomorrow, November 3rd, the day after streaming this, so if you live in the United States of America and you have not voted and you're a Christian, I highly encourage you to get out and vote if you can. This is what I heard October 26th. I believe this is in some ways connected to what we're seeing on the political landscape right now, but this is more of a word for the church here in the States. I saw an image. It was very vivid. It was a beautiful silver-adorned armor. So it was like a knight's armor, you know, from medieval times, essentially, like metal armor. But it had these very intricate, elegant, silver-like... ornate decorations on it that were attached to it, like this beautiful metalwork that had been done. And I was seeing it up close. It was almost like cameras sweeping shots across. It was super vivid. And then this is what I began to hear. I heard, the American church is about to hit what will feel like a brick wall. If you think that the current collapse is bad, wait and see. All to make room for those who need to come in. However, the men and women who have been sold and bought a lie are about to leave. A great upset, a turning over of souls so that the harvest may Make room for them within my house. Stay the course. Don't give in to the arguments posed by those who would attack the church, the written word, or the glory. My presence, the voice and power of my Holy Spirit. I change lives. I don't leave them the same. I transform, not self-justify. And then I heard there is about to be a huge split in a major faction of Christianity, dividing the real from the fake and making it obvious. Much more obvious than before. However, a general conversion rate is exploding as well in the long run. And I heard, you will see a rise in growth, true growth, not just church attendance, not just in playing the game and keeping in step with the religious tradition. They got religion, but they didn't get me. Many have found themselves in this place. And then I heard, I can change it. So let's go back up to the top here. The Lord said the American church is about to hit what will feel like a brick wall. If you think the current collapse is bad, what is the current collapse he's talking about? Potentially a lot of different things. Obviously, there are scandals that have been denominational specific, right, or cross denominational denominations. There's also been huge exposures when it comes to the charismatic church specifically, which is what many listeners may be more familiar with. There's a lot of strange things that have been happening. But one of the things we've seen. is we've seen where it says the men and women who have been sold and bought a lie are about to leave a great upset. We've seen how non-Christian ideologies have invaded the Christian space and the Christian church, and people have bought into it, right? James Tallerico, Democratic senator candidate here in Texas, very good example of that. If you go and look at what What he believes doesn't align with Scripture. But he's using the name of Jesus as if he's agreeing with Christ, yet he doesn't agree with the things that Jesus taught and said. And then you go and you look at what's behind him, and his pastor literally is on camera saying that there's not evidence that Jesus rose from the grave, or that Jesus rose from the dead. So his literal local pastor believes, the one that's pastoring him believes, that Jesus was a man or a prophet or something, or a good man, but he wasn't the Son of God. And all of Christianity breaks down at that point, or it becomes very obvious that they're not following true Christianity, right? Because there are foundational, core tenets of the faith that you must believe to be a Christian, and that's the first one. So if you don't believe Jesus rose from the dead, you're not a Christian. You're not a Christian. It's as simple as that. And you've not come to a knowledge of the truth yet. And this is what I heard, a turning over of souls so that the harvest may come in. And I got the impression turning over souls, this was a pun, you know, kind of talking about something flipping upside down, you know, the idea of. Uh, almost like somebody rolling over in their grave, that kind of idea. Um, but then also the turnover rate, uh, you know, where it's, uh, you, somebody gets hired and then they get fired the next week. And there's a, there's a high turnover rate when it comes to somebody coming into an organization and going back out. Um, but this is the idea of the. The false leaving so that the true may come in, right? And in some cases, this is going to require pastors, teachers to get very specific about sin issues, and in other cases, it's going to require people to come back to the true preaching of the gospel instead of only addressing cultural issues. See, we have both problems happening in an extreme way on two different sides of the aisle, and we've got to come back to what does the scriptures actually say and preach the full. truth of the word, but then also what is the Holy Spirit saying, and not to back down because of the fear of man. And then I heard, make room for them within my house. Stay the course. Okay, make room. What does that mean? Well, it can mean funding your local church. It can mean funding the things of God, for sure. You know, it can mean, but it can also mean... Having grace for those coming in who are truly being saved and helping to disciple them instead of criticize them, right? And it's understanding that people are not going to be mature overnight. overnight. Now, does that mean we justify things? No, we don't make excuses, but we provide a helping hand and we serve those who are coming to Christ. Stay the course. Don't give into the arguments posed by those who attack the church. Some are attacking the church right now and saying it's all bad. Burn it all down. That's not God's heart. Just because there's scandals, just because there's exposure, that's not God's heart. The church is necessary. All through the New Covenant, you see the necessity of the church, how we are the bride of Christ, we're the body of Christ, and we need each other. The written word, there are people attacking the scripture right now. There's a huge movement attacking the Apostle Paul and his writings, which makes up like two-thirds of the New Testament, almost. And they're saying Paul was not a true apostle. They're attacking the written word that has been agreed upon for literally centuries and millennium in the Christian church in general, church history. This is the scripture. And yet people are saying, no, it's not, because they're not of the Spirit of God. And why would the devil, if he could get people to reject part of the Bible, why would he get them to reject the writings of Paul in the New Covenant? It's because that was the main way in which God explained what happened through Jesus' life and death. in scripture. It's the main way that God explained the gospel, the full ramifications of the gospel, the good news. Jesus, yes, preached the gospel through his life and through his words and through his action, his death on the cross, his resurrection. So you can read the gospels and you can get saved. But Paul the apostle, God used him and some of the other writers of the New Testament letters to the church to fully explain what the gospel does for us as believers and why Why we needed it. The theology behind the gospel is found in those letters, and so if the devil would attack the church, he would attack us through trying to remove the gospel from the scripture. And then also, he says, don't give in to the arguments where people are attacking the glory, or the Lord's talking about his presence, talking about the voice and power of the Holy Spirit. You know, there's scripture that says in the last days, there's gonna be people that they have a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof. I mean, this could be referring to cessationists, Who will tell you, you've got to have a scriptural understanding of what God did, but you can't have a relationship with Him today, a real experience with God. That's absolutely not true. There's nothing in Scripture that would say that, and they twist and distort the Scripture to get you to start thinking that way. But then also, there's other people that attack the presence of God in other ways, the power of God. One of the ways they attack it is they attack the power of the Holy Spirit to actually change you. And they say, you know, the progressive movement says, well, God loves you the way you are. And you don't, why would he ever change you? You're perfect. You know, that's absolutely not true. Jesus is the only perfect person. It says no one is holy except for him, except for God. It says, no, there's not one. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. I need the power of the cross and the blood of Jesus to forgive me of my sins. To, to. to cause me to be righteous in God's eyes, but I also need the power of the Holy Spirit to come in and change me so I don't stay in that sin. I don't live the same way anymore. So I'm a new creature in Christ Jesus. I look different from the outside too. I'm different on the inside, but I also look different on the outside. This is what the Lord said. I change lives. I don't leave them the same. I transform, not self-justify. This is what the progressive movement is teaching. People like James Tallarico, for example, Obviously, I've been thinking about him a lot, so he's on my mind, but this is what they're teaching. They're teaching a perverted form of empathy that tells people God would never change you, and that's not true. God absolutely wants us to change. If there's something inside of us that's killing us, it's called sin, God does not want it to stay there. Just like a good doctor or surgeon, they open you up and they see something inside. There's a bullet in there. They don't leave it there, right? Well, let's just sew up the wound and hopefully it gets better. No, we've got to take the thing out that's causing the disease, that's causing the problem. In this case, it's sin, and God absolutely wants to change us. And then I heard this, there's about to be a huge split in a major faction of Christianity, dividing the real from the fake and making it obvious, much more obvious than before. However, this is a fearful thing for many pastors and leaders in the church. But it would be better for us to have small congregations and to see our numbers shrinking and yet be more on fire for God than ever before and actually be doing the work that we are called to do as believers and not just playing games. It would be better for us as churches then to see rapid growth in huge numbers and spiking of attendance. But for people's lives to not be being changed, I'm not saying that that is the case in every case. You know, there are large churches that are on fire for God. But if you had to pick one or the other, the real, we've got to pick the real. And if you actually look at the New Testament, a lot of the passages and a lot of the letters, the encouragement for the body. is not, and I'm not saying that this is wrong for every church to do this, but the encouragement is not that church would be where people get saved. The encouragement is that church would be where the believers go to get fed, to get built up, to get filled with the Spirit again, and then to go out and be the light and preach the gospel and to get people saved and to bring people in as well. But in some ways, we've made the modern church the only way that people can hear the gospel, and that shouldn't be the case. We as the church, we should be sharing the message of the gospel. We should be taking Jesus to those who need him. And so in some cases, we've made church all about the unbeliever when actually the New Covenant letters and the New Testament does not. It makes it about the believer being equipped for the work of ministry so that we can perform the work. We can. fulfill the Great Commission. Now, that doesn't mean that God doesn't give certain leaders or pastors a specific vision to try to reach the lost through their church or through their services. I think that's fine. I think that's good. But just looking generally at what the role of the church is, and so in some cases, this is actually really good. for the divide to happen. You have this separation of the sheep from the goats. And maybe the pastor says something that has been needed to be said for a long time, but it was controversial, but it's truth from the word of God. And a lot of people leave because of it, right? And they finally have the guts to say it because the Holy Spirit's leading them to, right? That's actually a good thing in the long run, even if you see the numbers drop the next week. But then I heard this, you will see a rise in growth, true growth, not just church attendance, not just in playing the game and keeping in step with the religious tradition, They got religion, but they didn't get me. Now the Lord's talking about those who went to church, but they didn't really know him. Many have found themselves in this place, and then I heard, I can change it. I can change it. I want to look at 1 John 1:9. It says, if we confess our sin, he is faithful and righteous, so that he will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If you're listening to this today, and you need Jesus, right now's the time. Right now's the moment. Jesus has already paid the price for your sins. He's already offered you that forgiveness. He's reached out to you. He's offering you his grace, his mercy right now. His compassion, all of his love for you led him to come to the earth, to live a perfect life, to die for you. And then he rose again because he's God. Death could not defeat him. And that's the truth. That is the absolute truth. And if you follow that truth down to its core, you're going to find life. You're going to find transformation. You're going to find hope. You're going to find healing. You're going to find a beautiful relationship with the God who loves Who loves you, who created you, who designed you. You're also going to find power. He's going to transform you. He's going to change your heart. He's going to show you that you're made for more. So if that's you, I encourage you, and I appeal to you right now, just reach back out to him. Say, Jesus, I believe you died for me. Will you change me? Will you forgive me of my sins? The Holy Spirit's going to bring that knowledge to your heart that he already has. Jesus has already finished the work. He's just been waiting for you to receive that gift of salvation, to come in. He's going to begin a beautiful friendship relationship with you. But for everyone else, This is still true for us as believers as well. He's faithful. He's righteous. He will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And this is where the sheep and the goats, this is where the separation happens in the church, in the body, is when the truth is spoken very boldly in love at the same time. Not boldly in a condemning way, but boldly with the love and the grace of God attached to it. Saying, hey, there's a better path to go down. There's a hope for you. God wants to change your situation. God wants you to be so near to him. You can hear his voice yourself. Jesus said, my sheep, hear my voice. That's what the Lord has for us as believers. But we've got to recognize there's a difference between truth and error. There's a difference between righteousness and unrighteousness. We've got to make that distinction. This is, I was reading Matthew 3, 5 through 11 recently, and I heard this, the current state of the American church, many parallels, many parallels. So I want to read that. This is Matthew 3, 5. It says, at that time, Jerusalem was going out to him and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan. They were being baptized by him. It's talking about John the Baptist here, as he was talking about, in the Jordan River. So they confessed their sins. So there was a movement of repentance that was happening. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, you offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? So he's almost making it harder. He is making it harder for the Pharisees, the Sadducees to actually repent. And it's because the Holy Spirit was upon John the Baptist and giving him a stumbling block to put in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Jesus came as a stumbling block for them as well. They, on the outside, looked like they were pleasing God. They looked like they were following God. They looked like they wanted to please God. But on the inside, they were full of dead man's bones. They were full of hypocrisy. And God put stumbling blocks in front of them so that some of them, they would stumble over that and then they would get their life right. They would humble their hearts like Nicodemus, for example. But many of them did not. They stumbled and then they fell away. And there was a separation that occurred. And at the cross, you see the greatest separation of the sheep from the goats that you ever have seen. in the history of the world, and you will see until the end. See, we see the day of judgment, the great white throne judgment, the judgment seat of Christ. You're going to see this. Jesus talks about this in the book of Matthew. There's a separate Matthew chapter 7, I believe, if I'm not wrong, but he talks about the separation of the sheep and the goats at the judgment, right? Other than that, the place you see it the most prevalent is the cross, and leading up to it, where it was the very religious leaders who We're saying that they were acting God's name, that were taking Jesus to the cross, that were sending him there. And the one that was going was the one that was dying for, for not just their sin, but the sins of the world. Therefore, produce fruit consistent with repentance. And do not assume that you can say to yourselves, we have Abraham as our father, for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. And the ax is already laid at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit is being cut down and thrown into the fire. This is what the Lord's showing me about the American church, is that there is an uprooting that's going to be taking place, where the real from the fake, it's going to become very evident. And there's going to be, you know, I heard this word about a, let's see if I can find it, this huge split. Oh yeah, there's about to be a huge split in a major faction of Christianity. This is going to be part of this. But more so, even churches on the local level are going to see some of this taking place. The axe that's already laid at the root of the trees is because when the truth comes in, it divides between soul and spirit. And people start to realize, they wake up and go either one direction or the other. And they go, oh, I don't want any part of this because I want a Jesus that tells me I can live however I want. And then they leave, right? Or they say, wait a minute, I've been playing games. I've got to come back to the truth. And I need the real Jesus. I need the Holy Spirit in my life. And then look at this. Look at what John the Baptist says. As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance. That means God's power is going to come and people are going to change. But he who is coming after me is mightier than I. He's talking about Jesus. And I am not fit to remove his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Jesus is still baptizing people today with what? With the Holy Spirit and with fire. That's what happened at the cross. There's a prophetic picture. of what happened at the cross found in the story of Elijah and Elisha, and there's a separation that takes place between these two prophets, Elijah and Elisha, and it's a wall of fire that comes between them. It's a chariot of fire that comes down, and there's a wall of fire that comes between them. And there was a wall of fire that came between Jesus and his disciples. When he ascended, just like Elijah ascended and Elisha was left to do the work of God, but he received, what, a double portion of the Spirit of God upon him? What happened when Jesus left? He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. And there was a separation. There was something that was separating him from his disciples when he ascended on high. What was that? He said, if I don't go away, the Holy Spirit won't come. So there was a fire that was coming to separate because that was the need that they had in the hour. It's still the need that we have today. We need the Holy Spirit today just as much as the disciples did in the new covenant church. And what do you see when the Holy Spirit comes on the day of Pentecost? You see him manifest as tongues of fire. And there was the sound of a great rushing wind, just like that prophetic picture of Elijah and Elisha. And this is what John the Baptist says. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. This is Romans 8, 14. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. There are some of us where we've allowed the voices in the culture, possibly on one side of the political aisle, if it's a political voice or on the other side or a celebrity or a podcaster, whatever it is, or the talking points, we've allowed these voices to become louder than the voice of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. And we've become convinced of something, but the Holy Spirit's saying something else. How do you come back from that? You say, Holy Spirit, if I've missed this, We humble ourselves. Say, Holy Spirit, if I'm missing something, will you show me? If there's a part of this that's become an idol to me, will you show me? If there's a part of this that's become about fulfilling the desire of the flesh instead of walking by the Spirit, will you show me? If there's something I'm stuck in, a sin that I need to repent of, will you show me? If there's a way that I've been living my life, putting God's name on it, that wasn't from the Lord, wasn't by the leading of the Holy Spirit, will you show me? And He absolutely will. And He'll do it with grace and kindness, gentleness. The word says it's the loving kindness of God that leads us to repentance. The good news is that his grace is sufficient today. The blood of Jesus is still working today. You have full acceptance. If you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have full acceptance in the family of God, the house of God, the presence of God. We get to come boldly before the throne of grace. The Holy Spirit's also in our hearts crying out, Abba, Father. We've been adopted. It's the spirit of adoption. He's reminding us, you've been fully granted an inheritance. You get to share in the inheritance of the saints, the inheritance that was Christ's, that he's given to you. You're not going to lose that. You don't get snatched out of the Father's hand. There's no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. But Jesus came revealing the truth and grace of God. So if there's a revelation of God's truth that we need, we need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God and we need the Holy Spirit to help us to get that revelation of His truth. If there's a revelation of God's grace that we need, we need the Word and we need the Holy Spirit to give us that revelation of God's grace. He's working on both things at one time. And He's refining the church, not just around the world, but here in the United States as well. He's refining His bride. Jesus is coming back for a bride that's been changed, that's been transformed. I just hear the Lord saying, I'm right here and I'm ready to do it today. I'm going to show you all that I would have you walk into and step into in this hour. And I hear the Lord saying for people, He's going to be giving specific instructions to people that need it, that are asking for it, that are waiting upon Him. He's not going to hold back. I hear the Lord saying, you can hear my voice too. Go read 1 Corinthians chapter 2. I would highly encourage you to go read it over and over and over again, to continue. Read it once a day. Pray about it. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you through that scripture. When you start to see what God says about His voice and His Holy Spirit inside of you and your ability to hear from him. And to be shown the things of God through the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life, when you start to believe that, it makes it so much easier to hear from Him on a regular basis. When you realize, ah, I've been made righteous, and because of that, I have the Holy Spirit. And it's not because of what I've done. I've been made righteous because of what Jesus has done, because of His sacrifice on the cross. So because I didn't earn it in the first place, I can't lose it through a mistake. But oftentimes, we allow. shame, condemnation, or fear of failure, whatever. We allow these things to put up a wall between us and the Lord and His voice, but we don't need to. We've just got to come back to the cross. We've got to come back to faith in what Christ has done, true belief, surrendered heart. And the Holy Spirit's going to be leading us and guiding us. He's going to be showing us God's will for our lives. He's going to be keeping us in that place of God's plan, God's design, God's purpose. So I hope this is okay. I think that's all I had to share today. Okay. Obviously, yeah. What I shared at the beginning, if y'all want to hear the very short message I heard about voting and stuff, I shared that earlier. The second half has been about the church and what I believe is happening in the American church right now. So, again, Trump in the End Times is available if you want to grab a copy of it on TroyBlackVideos.com. You can go straight to Amazon.com and find it in print and e-book. And I believe this is a word in due season for the church right now, not just the American church, but the global church. You don't have to read this, but if the Holy Spirit leads you to, I would encourage you to. If you don't have time to read anything else, make sure you're reading the scripture. Make sure you're reading the Bible every day. That's the most important thing. And the Holy Spirit wants to speak to us through the scripture every single day and encourage us. And man, we could use the encouragement, but listen, he has more than enough encouragement for you in this hour, more than enough. And he's gonna be your biggest cheerleader. He's gonna be the one that puts the hope of God in your heart every single day. He pours the love of God into your heart every single day. He fills you with the joy of the Lord and that's gonna be your strength. You're not going to have any reason to fear. You're not going to have any reason to shrink back. Because if God be for you, who can be against you? So that's all I have to share today. I love y'all. I hope y'all have a wonderful rest of your day, and I'll see you next time.
