Hey [snorts] y'all. This is Troy Black. So, I've got a word to share with you that I heard last night. And this is a 24hour word. And if anyone's wondering, do you ever follow up on these kind of
Troy Black shares a 'prophetic' 24-hour word about upcoming world events, cites a past prediction as proof of accuracy, and promotes gold sponsor Kingdom Metals and his book.
Key Takeaways
- The video is a religious prophecy presentation whose predictions are vague and unverifiable, with accuracy claims based on retrospective interpretation.
- Financial advice is embedded within the prophetic content, linking urgency about market 'shakings' to a paid gold and silver sponsor.
- Viewers should critically evaluate sponsored investment recommendations and unfalsifiable predictions, especially when they are tied to fear-based timing.
What the video covers
- Troy Black presents a 'word' he claims to have received from God about events expected within the next 24 hours to a day and a half.
- He reviews a prior 24-hour prophecy from December 3, 2025, claiming the predicted events (a shock on the president's desk, China Sea and Venezuela connections) came to pass.
- The video heavily promotes sponsor Kingdom Metals, a gold and silver dealer, encouraging viewers to convert retirement accounts into precious metals.
- Black urges viewers to pray, use wisdom, and research investments rather than respond to fear or headlines.
- He points viewers to a prophecy archive on his website to check the accuracy of past predictions.
- He promotes his book 'Trump and the End Times' as relevant to current events and the midterm elections.
- Black discusses broader spiritual themes including testing prophetic words, the role of the Holy Spirit, obedience, and avoiding legalistic religious mindsets.
- The content offers no verifiable evidence for its predictions; claimed fulfillment relies on vague, interpretive matching after the fact.

Speaker A
videos? I absolutely do. We have a whole archive on my website. But I'm also going to be showing you another 24-hour word that I shared last year around the same time that very clearly came to pass. I'll show you what I said, what
Speaker A
took place the next 24 hours. And actually, it was a day and a half word, but 24 hours was on the the thumbnail, but the next day and a half after that, show you what took place. Um, but very
Speaker A
quickly, I want to say a thank you to today's sponsor. So, this is uh Kingdom Medals. Kingdom Medals is uh what I believe the best gold silver company out there at the moment. And um if you go to
Speaker A
troyblackgold.com, you can learn more uh about what they have to offer. Um, obviously we are in a place where a lot of people are asking questions about the stock market, about retirement accounts, all that kind of stuff. And I will say
Speaker A
this as a man of faith and someone who obviously does hear from the Lord and and then obviously that needs to be tested. Uh, love how I throw those disclaimers in there. Um, but this is a time for going to the Lord in
Speaker A
prayer saying, "Lord, what do you want me to do with whatever you've given me?
Speaker A
Help me to steward it well." It's a time for using wisdom, not responding in fear or and not responding just based on headlines, things like that. Um, but it's also a time, I believe, for research. If if God has given you
Speaker A
something to steward, make sure you do the research. Make sure you look and find the best opportunity that you can um to be able to invest. But, uh, Kingdom Metals offers uh, US mint medals only. So, it's one of the reasons I love
Speaker A
them. They're faith aligned. That's another reason. They also don't apply heavy-handed sales tactics like a lot of these places do. So, I enjoy that as well. We should be able to make decisions with wisdom, with the help of
Speaker A
the Holy Spirit, not out of fear, and not out of pressure. So, if you go to troyblackgold.com, you can download the free guide, uh the and also the five mistakes first-time gold and silver investors make. It's a free ebook that
Speaker A
you can get. They've got a couple different free things here. There's a free silver offer for qualified orders.
Speaker A
So, um, some people will qualif qualify for that, some people will not. Uh, but there's a lot of information here that you can go look at some of the things they offer and some of the, uh, obviously get your fees and writing, all
Speaker A
that kind of stuff up front. Um, but if this was something that I was able to do at the moment, uh, definitely a company I'd be, uh, be using for that. And so, again, pray about it, see what the Lord
Speaker A
would have you do. Um, it's interesting. We're seeing some of the words that I shared about the shakings and the rattlings in the market. And the word was specifically like end of October, like in November, even into the
Speaker A
beginning of December timeline. I'm not going to rehash that word right here, but we are seeing some of those things take place at the moment. Um, and I'll be doing a full follow-up once that possibly even in the middle of that
Speaker A
timeline, but once that timeline is finished, I'll be doing a full follow-up. Um, so this is a really good opportunity. Obviously, they sell uh, you know, gold and silver. you can buy that directly, but also you could convert part of your IRA, something like
Speaker A
that to try to diversify your retirement accounts um into this as well or or 401k. So, really cool opportunity and a huge thank you to Kingdom Metals. Um I couldn't do this what I'm doing uh without now a sponsor, but then also
Speaker A
without your help as well. So, thank you to everyone who supports this channel either financially or in in one way or another, prays for us, encourages us, it means the world. So, I just want to say a huge thank you. Again, you can go to
Speaker A
trobblackgold.com um if you're interested in doing that. Uh couple other quick things. Pull this down real fast. Um again, Trump and the End Times is available getting some really good reviews on Amazon.com. So, if you're interested in reading that, I believe
Speaker A
this is applies to what's happening in the world right now. Um, even with the midterms going on, I think there's a lot I I don't think I specifically talk about midterms in that book, but there's a lot of applicable uh elements to the
Speaker A
book that um that I believe would be very encouraging, especially right now post midterm election. So, um there's that as a reminder. So, before we jump in, I want to show y'all a 24-hour word that I shared last year. Uh I've got
Speaker A
another word to share today. Um and I'll just say this. Uh, I have another one coming later this week. Uh, that's at least if from what I heard last night.
Speaker A
You know, I don't even know what that is yet, but uh, but I believe there might be another one coming down the pipeline.
Speaker A
Um, but if you go to the prophecy archive, this is troyblackvideos.com/prophecy-archive. Um, you will see a uh a lot of a lot of different follow-ups. If you go to uh entire collection here, and then you can search on in the search bar up here. If
Speaker A
you search for uh uh next 24 hours, what will pop up? Um and I had for some reason I had a hard time getting the whole thing to pop up on mobile right now. But what will pop up is this word
Speaker A
right here. God just told me this is the next 24 hours. This was live streamed and there will be a link straight to this video, all that kind of stuff in there. This was live streamed on December 3rd, 2025. I'm going to read
Speaker A
part of what was shared here. Here was the thumbnail. I saw it coming in 24 hours. I'm going to read uh part of what was shared and then also the results.
Speaker A
This is for people that are wondering, especially if you're new to this channel, does this person ever follow up on these predictions, that kind of stuff, the things he's sharing. Um, are these things accurate? If you go look at
Speaker A
the archive and you read through it, I believe you're going to see that yes, there's consistent accuracy is what we're seeing. Um, but this is a good example of a 24-hour word from the past.
Speaker A
This was shared December 3rd, 2025 at 10:20 a.m. Central time was when it was live streamed. This is what I heard and what I shared in the video. This is only part of it. If you want to read the
Speaker A
whole thing, you'll have to go look in the archive, but I I pulled out the highlights. This is the next 24 hours, a day and a half after it's shared today.
Speaker A
And then uh and I heard the Lord talked about all the phrase all quiet on the Western Front for a little bit and I heard all quiet question mark a shock will come instead. A transport a shipment showing the makings of war
Speaker A
without the war. So very specific interesting things. Uh and I got an impression uh this was this is literally a quote from the video. I got an impression earlier today that this would be something that lands on the
Speaker A
president's desk, almost like a piece of news and maybe even footage that comes with it. And I also got an impression that this is more of a shock on paper than anything else. More of a shock on paper than anything else, but it will
Speaker A
shock people to an extent for those who actually know what's going on. And then I got this impression that there is part of this that could be connected to the east. I got a slight impression of the China Sea being somehow related, but
Speaker A
then something related to China in the ocean. Then I heard a piece of news is going to arrive on the president's desk that is going to shake him. This was the 24-hour word I shared December 3rd at 10:20 a.m. last year. What were the
Speaker A
results? All of these things came to pass in the next 24 to a to a day and a half. And that was what the Lord said, 24 hours and then specified a day and a half after it shared today. So there was
Speaker A
a 24-hour direct timeline and then sort of more of a loose day and a half timeline on it. results. I streamed this word at 10:20 central time on December 3rd. Uh you can verify that on the web page source. Later that day at 3:25
Speaker A
central time, the Dallas Express published a letter written by Carvajal Berios, a former intelligence chief for Venezuela's socialist dictator Maduro.
Speaker A
After pleading guilty to crimes in June, Barios wrote this letter from a US prison on December 2nd. So, he had written it the same day I heard the word, delivered it to be published on the 3, the same day I shared the word,
Speaker A
and addressed it to Mr. President Trump and the people of the United States. Some of y'all will remember this letter being delivered uh and this 24-hour word. And so, what was shared here? I heard a piece of news is going to arrive
Speaker A
on the president's desk that's going to shake him. It's going to shake him in that 24-hour timeline. And that is what took place. What else did I I hear? I heard uh a shock will come instead. A transport shipment the makings of war
Speaker A
without the war without a war. Okay. And then it was also I got an impression that this is more of a shock on paper than anything else. Okay. Somehow related to China. This is what happened.
Speaker A
It he uh this this letter appeared uh landed on his desk and it was shared by prominent um political leaders here in the states. This is what he wrote. The regime I served is not merely hostile.
Speaker A
it is at war with you. And then he goes on to say how it's at war. And he outlined many details of of an official quote unquote war. So it's at war without being at war. It very clearly
Speaker A
fulfills that part of the word. The shocking letter, it was very shocking, was shared by prominent US politicians.
Speaker A
The Dallas Express wrote this. Carvajal's letter marks an extraordinary moment. A former regime insider openly appealing to an American president he now argues is confronting a criminal state.
Speaker A
very they use the term marks in an extraordinary moment. So a shocking letter I believe was uh fulfilled there.
Speaker A
Uh a shock on paper more than more than anything else. Uh the phrase a transport a shipment showing the makings of war without the war could refer both to the letter as well as since it was transported to President Trump as well
Speaker A
or delivered as well as the actual drug shipments involved in this conflict. That was what this was all about was the drug shipments. Later in the same day, Trump told reporters, okay, so there's also the part that this could be
Speaker A
connected to this shock on paper could also be connected to a piece of footage that also either lands on his desk or is connected somehow. Trump told reporters that same day, he after I shared the word, he supports the release of strike
Speaker A
footage on alleged Venezuelan narco drug boat. That was the very famous footage. Once it finally came out, everybody was shocked. Right on December 4th, that was the next day after I shared it. Inside the day and a half timeline though, the
Speaker A
the looser timeline that the Lord gave, lawmakers were finally shown this footage and it became declassified and it was not ahead of that and then we got the public got to see it as well. Uh how and then also there was a connection to
Speaker A
China and also a connection somehow I I got a slight impression of the China Sea being somehow related. Somehow related okay how is it related? Well, Venezuela and all of this has been in the news is one of China's most important partners
Speaker A
in the Western Hemisphere. It's the largest receiver of Chinese Chinese investment and military support, at least it was at the time, in South America. And an article by the Asia Times compared China's presence in Venezuela to the US sailing naval ships
Speaker A
through the South China Sea. They said, uh, China being in Venezuela is the same thing as the US sailing our ships through their South China Sea. Both superpowers testing the strength in the other's backyard. And there was the
Speaker A
connection right there. And so it's loosely connected. Absolutely connected. Uh China is hurting the US through supporting Venezuela or at least at that time in that way because there was a war without a war going on. Very clearly uh
Speaker A
come to pass 24hour. Y'all can go read it for yourself. You look at the link.
Speaker A
So if you go uh to the actual uh the actual archive, you'll see the links to not just the original word but also to the articles where we show the evidence and it and the followup there. So, I get
Speaker A
a lot of comments from people that that don't actually watch the videos. They don't actually read the read through the archive and then they just jump on and say, "Ah, this word is missing it too, right? Or is missing the mark as well."
Speaker A
I'm like, obviously don't watch the content, right? Um, and I try not to be mean about it, but at the same time, you know, it's like if somebody if a critic is not being uh is not criticizing with
Speaker A
integrity, uh, then they're not someone that should be listened to. Now, if a critic does have integrity and they're pointing out actual obvious things that were missed or actual facts that are taking place, that's one thing and that's important
Speaker A
and we shouldn't ignore that. Uh even in the especially in the prophetic movement because we've had a history in the prophetic movement of somebody missing something publicly and then just sweeping it under the rug or just using saying like, "Well, then this must have
Speaker A
been happening behind the scenes." The Holy Spirit is is he's dealing with people's hearts right now. He's dealing with listeners hearts right now.
Speaker A
And man, I just hear the Lord saying this. It It's time to confront the truth, the reality of what's really going on. If someone's missing it, the I hear the Lord saying, "I want you to stop making excuses. And I want you to
Speaker A
say they missed this one." And if they continuously miss it, if they keep missing it, this is what I hear the Lord saying. I want you to admit to yourself.
Speaker A
Admit to yourself first that it's happening and then ask me for the re for an answer to the question why.
Speaker A
Not me. This is what I hear the Holy Spirit saying. Go and say, "Lord, if they're consistently missing something, if this not just a one time thing, why is this is this somebody I should be listening to? Is this somebody that's
Speaker A
was hearing from you and is not anymore? Is this somebody that has put uh politics or money or something above your voice and now they're hearing a distorted version of what you're saying?
Speaker A
Is this somebody who's just blatantly lying? Uh I I I had to deal with somebody in the prophetic movement that has not been called out by major prophetic leaders earlier this year who who is in that category. Is in that
Speaker A
category and people are still propping him up and all that. And I'm like where's the accountability? Right. Well, the accountability starts with us. the listener. It starts with you and me, not the leaders. Now, the leaders should be
Speaker A
holding people up to accountability, too. But it starts with us. Am I going to continue listening to somebody that I know is not hearing from the Lord based on their track record.
Speaker A
So, I think that's important. I did not plan on saying that, but uh I'm just trying to be led by the Lord and say what and trying to say not too much, but also trying to say what he's given me to
Speaker A
say. So, let's jump into what I heard last night. So, this is another 24-hour word. Okay. Uh obviously, we follow up on these. I will say this much. We do not I do not always automatically follow up on a word like this ex exactly when
Speaker A
the timeline's finished. So if I don't make a video in 24 hours saying this is what happened. There's a reason for that and it's because a lot of times number one either it doesn't fit into my schedule or number two I'm still waiting
Speaker A
to see how everything unfolds. And a lot of times looking at how something unfolds a week after the timeline was up or even two weeks sometimes allows us to be able to see okay this was was the actual ramifications of what
Speaker A
took place. This was a lot more important. Sometimes you see how important something was a week later that took place in a timeline than you do in the moment. And so that is why we do that. We also we we take time to do
Speaker A
our research. We don't just throw the first thing out there and go okay I think that's it. No we take time to do the research and we look into it and we take time to pray. say, "Lord, uh, help
Speaker A
us to to to look at this from the right lens and see what actually took place.
Speaker A
What were you actually saying here?" Um, so that's the reason why, but we do follow up on these words. If I don't do a video follow-up, they make it into this archive here. Y'all can go check out troyblackvideos.comprophecy-archive.
Speaker A
Um, really cool. at least if you haven't ever checked it out. Highly encourage you go go look at the 20 prophecy highlights and just look at there's the title. There's the data was shared.
Speaker A
You've got links to the original video, the follow-up video if we did one. You've got the this was what was shared and then this was the uh you know the the follow-up in gray right here. And then underneath that we have all the
Speaker A
articles that we link to to show the actual uh the actual evidence of what took place. And some of these are more specific than others. I'll say that much. you know, they're not always as specific as, but there's some that are
Speaker A
so specific they are hard to ignore. Um, so there we go. All right. So, I'm going to pull Oh, wait. Let me get get back here because I actually want to read this. I want to pull this up on on
Speaker A
screen. Um, this is what I heard last night. Let me let me pray and we're going to jump into it. Jesus, I just thank you that you died for our sins.
Speaker A
You're the son of God. You came to the earth as a man. You lived a perfect life. You paid the price. You you took the punishment for our sins upon your own body. You died. On the third day,
Speaker A
you rose again. and you offer us eternal life to all those who believe. You offer forgiveness of sins. You offer favor.
Speaker A
You offer fellowship with God. You offer the the friendship with the Holy Spirit. Lord, you offer a place in your house, a place in your family because of what you've done, your perfect sacrifice. And so, we just choose to surrender right
Speaker A
now to whatever you're wanting to do, whatever you're wanting to say. I surrender my voice, Lord. And I just ask, Holy Spirit, that you'd move, you would touch people, Lord, that you'd heal people, that you would change people's hearts, that you change my
Speaker A
heart, uh that you would meet us right where we're at, and you would speak to us, Lord, not just corporately, but individually as well. And even more importantly, individually, Lord, I ask that you lift people up in their hearts
Speaker A
today. Encourage them. Give them hope. Speak to them about what's happening in the prophetic movement, Lord, if you need to. Speak to them and speak to us about it, Lord. Speak to us about what's happening in the in the world if you
Speaker A
need to, Lord. but also in a individually in our lives. What do you want us to be focusing on? What is what do you want us to be doing? Lord, help us to stay centered on Christ, on the
Speaker A
gospel message, and help us to stay centered on your will for our lives and not get sidetracked, not get distracted.
Speaker A
Lord, help us not to build idols in our hearts to anything else. Lord, help us to seek first your kingdom, your righteousness, and help us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength to love our neighbor
Speaker A
as oursel in Jesus name. Okay, so this is what I heard last night. Uh, this would have been November 8th. I saw I don't fully understand this. Some of this may be metaphorical. I'm going to read what I
Speaker A
I'm going to read what I saw, what I heard, and then we're going to have to wait and see what takes place. Okay, I'm not going to try to interpret it because my guesses, unless the Lord gives me
Speaker A
interpretation, my guesses are not very valid and not very useful. I saw a vision of birds. I wasn't sure what I was seeing. I saw like a bird bath or something like that and they were landing around. It was like a feeder.
Speaker A
They were congregating and I got this impression so all of a sudden that it this image represented different countries and their leaders congregating around a central topic around a central decision. Uh and I and and they were essentially it the impression was like
Speaker A
the birds were coming to the feeder to see what they could get before it was gone. And it was almost that idea like seeing what they could get out of it. Um and I I the impression was metaphorical.
Speaker A
I knew it may not res represent a meeting taking place but maybe rather a feeling uh expressed by various countries right and maybe words you know expressed out loud potentially um and then I saw a large two um very clear and
Speaker A
then I saw what looked like a four but it was almost lopsid it was like the second half it was like tw the letters 24 or the numbers 24 but the second half of it was like it almost looked like
Speaker A
have you ever seen that painting with the clock, you know, that's melting. Denali, is that is that it? My art history class is coming back. I think it's Denali. I might be saying the name wrong. Um, anyways, is that the wrong
Speaker A
name? I might be pronouncing his name wrong, but but where it's like stuff is melting and it looked distorted. The the four looked distorted almost like there could be some implications in that, right? Kind of the first half of
Speaker A
something being good, the second half not or like it getting worse over time. Something like that. And then I heard in the next 24 hours after this one is shared. Dolly, thank you. Yeah, that's right. Uh, Salvador Dolly. I don't
Speaker A
Denali. I don't know why why I'm adding to his name. Salvador Dolly is correct.
Speaker A
Uh, I saw a chain link and then I heard the links in the chain are beginning to break, to snap off, to come undone.
Speaker A
That's what I tried to visualize on the thumbnail. And then I saw after that a a cup of tea on a saucer very close up, you know, but it was like English countryside like tea party feeling. It was very like delicate, right? And like
Speaker A
kind of highbrow uh cup of tea on a saucer. And then I heard the united front making way for a disunited back.
Speaker A
And the impression they're making way was like uh stepping to the side to allow something else to come through.
Speaker A
Right? So it was like a a united front that was going to that's the chain link breaking, right? if something was going to dismantle or step out of the way so that there the the disunityity that was behind something would start to show. It
Speaker A
was unity out front, but it was a facade or or it's stepping out of the way and there's disunityity that's going to show uh cup of tea on a saucer. The uh the impression there was the meeting the the
Speaker A
minds coming together and the meeting taking place, right? Um people sitting around like it's time for tea, we're going to sit around, we're going to discuss this that kind of idea. Um, and then I heard the nation's meeting to
Speaker A
decide. There might be more involved there too, but I don't know. The nations meeting to decide who will we align with? Who will we not? Who will not be part of this structure we create? And I got this impression this is related in
Speaker A
some way even if slight. And then I got and then suddenly as I was writing that down, I got a heavy emphasis on slight.
Speaker A
So there's a slight relation to this uh of this of this part right here. This is slightly related to the word, right?
Speaker A
Um that that phrase. And then uh it was almost as if that part maybe has already occurred or will occur later. So there's going to be a connection here, but it that connection might not be super obvious in the next 24 hours. I don't
Speaker A
know. Um but there's a slight a heavy emphasis on the word slight there. Uh and then I saw a kitchen sink and I heard someone will say, "I wash my hands of this madness. From here on out, I
Speaker A
want nothing to do with it." So there's going to be a disconnection that occurs.
Speaker A
Somebody saying uh somebody stepping away from the pack essentially. Uh and then I I heard I am watching over the nations to make sure certain events do not happen until it is time.
Speaker A
This might be connected to some of the other words that I've shared about some of the things taking place. Uh and then I heard a significant word. The impression I got there and I didn't write down but was that the significance
Speaker A
may not be seen immediately. This might not be ah that was super significant in the next 24 hours but it's going to play out over time if if if not be significant in the moment. there's going to be a strong significance to it in the
Speaker A
long run. And then I got an impression that this is over or related to in some way the disagreements about Israel. Uh yet Israel will only be on the outskirts. So like this there will be a relation related aspect to that conflict
Speaker A
and those disagreements but it's going to be more on the outskirts. Uh touching on that but not like necessarily the main thing. And I heard the nations are reaching out in order to say that's mine. Leave it where it be. Again, going
Speaker A
back to the idea of the birds flocking and seeing if they can get what they can get, right? Uh out of out of a bird feeder. And then I heard a defense rigged up and ready to go.
Speaker A
Sounds unrelated. I don't know what that means, but there it is. A defense rigged up, ready to go. This is what I heard last night. Uh I'm going to leave it as as it is. Uh we'll come back and follow up on this
Speaker A
word. If we don't follow up in a video format, we'll follow up on the archive at some point. Um, but if y'all want to see some other follow-ups, also Trump in the End Times, that book, we put a lot
Speaker A
of follow-ups into that that book as well. Um, and I think it helps to look at them in order, kind of in sequential order, and see like, ah, these are things that were being said and also were being followed up on even while the
Speaker A
next stuff was being shared. And the Lord kept working. It wasn't like, oh, God's working here and then he's working here. No, he's working the entire time behind the scenes. I mean, I think it's very helpful to to to see that. Um, I
Speaker A
did not put the rest of the things I heard up on the screen today. Um, but I'm going to go ahead and read them. I heard a couple things that um may be involved in with what's going on right
Speaker A
now. So, I'm pull this down for a second. Uh, one of them is about the midterm results. I heard this yesterday.
Speaker A
I heard it is not my will yet I will use it nonetheless for good in the long run.
Speaker A
And then I heard I am working still. It is not my will. What does that mean?
Speaker A
What is the God what is the if if something's not God's will and yet it h why would it happen? Right? Why would And how can he still use it for good in the long run? Right? What's a part of
Speaker A
his ultimate will? It's a it's a part of his sovereign will. There are certain things that are going to happen no matter what. I mean, look at the scripture. Look at the prophecies in about revelation in the book of
Speaker A
Revelation and Daniel, things like that. There's certain things that are going to be fulfilled. Uh I mean, look at Jesus for instance. Uh the the scripture prophesied a Messiah coming and he did come. That was God's sovereign will.
Speaker A
That was going to happen no matter what. The devil could not stop it. Even with all the tactics that he tried, he could not stop Jesus coming and and dying for the sins of the world. That was God's
Speaker A
sovereign will. But does that mean that everything h that happened before that leading up to it was God's perfect will for the world? No. That doesn't mean that God wanted all those things to happen. That it's not what he desired
Speaker A
because God gives us freedom. He gives us free free will, free choice. And he works through broken imperfect individuals. And he works through broken structures in society. And he works through a broken world. a broken world.
Speaker A
And so there's God's perfect will for my life. That's exactly what he would want.
Speaker A
What does will mean? Will just means what he wants, right? So what God wants for me, what what what what's God's perfect will for me today, right? Is is God's perfect will for me today to uh to yell at one of my kids for making a
Speaker A
mistake? No. But if that happened, it did not happen today, but if that happened, could God still redeem the day? If if my heart is is humbled before him, could God still redeem the way the day and his will be done in through that
Speaker A
overall through that day? Yes. But that but that aspect of it wasn't what he wanted. There was a there was a better.
Speaker A
So even in what's happening in society, even what's happening in the nation, all that kind of stuff, there's God's best will or his perfect will and then there's his sovereign will. There's two different things. And the church is kind
Speaker A
of stuck in the middle of that, right? Some of it has to do with the decisions we make, what we're what we're praying for, what we're doing. what we're supporting other uh there's a lot of other aspects that that come into play
Speaker A
as well that just the will of humankind in general. Um and so that's what I heard. It's not my will yet I will use it nonetheless for good in the long run.
Speaker A
And then and I heard I am I'm working still. And then I heard this today. I heard uh I'm telling you uh oh sorry I heard I'm not telling you to put your hope in Trump in a man. Okay. And this
Speaker A
was I was I was praying and one of the impressions I got one of the pictures I saw was I suddenly saw uh the this idea of of people going this must mean God's not using Trump right or or maybe he wasn't.
Speaker A
And it was like a response to that. It was like no I still saw God's hand over him and I still saw God using him. But then this is what I heard right after I got that picture. I heard I'm not
Speaker A
telling you to put your hope in Trump in a man. I'm asking you to put your hope in me. He's talking about himself. And then I heard, "I know what I'm doing. I have allowed these things for a reason.
Speaker A
I'm allowing the pieces to fall for a season so that I can stack them back up again in order in order and to prepare for other things still to come." Then I heard, "Keep praying. My leaders are still in place for a time and I will
Speaker A
comfort the weary through this next aspect of the journey." Then I heard do not grow weary of doing good even if your emotions feel overwhelmed. And I heard bring the feelings back to me in the secret place and we can deal with
Speaker A
them together. Then I heard together you are going to be okay. Okay. So, the Lord is talking about us being together with him, but also being united with each other, with other believers. Together, you're going to be okay. Uh, and so, let
Speaker A
me jump into what I heard uh yesterday. This was during church, actually. I was sitting in church and the Lord began to speak to me. I began to write it down. I probably seem very rude. It looks like
Speaker A
I'm texting in the middle of the service. Uh, but not [laughter] uh if my pastor is watching, it wasn't texting. [snorts] [laughter] I was writing stuff down. Okay. So, pull this up. I'm sure he understands.
Speaker A
[snorts] Uh, this is the first thing I heard. I This is what I The Lord gave me three moments of surrender that God is calling us into. Now, you pray pray over this. I believe this is generally true
Speaker A
for everybody. Is it specifically true that God wants you to focus on this right now? Probably. Uh, because it's generally true for everyone. It's very scripturally based. Um, but also pray into it and see see if the Lord would
Speaker A
have you focus on these things or not. But these are three things I heard, three moments of surrender that God is calling us into. Number one, I heard surrender to the glory of God within your life. Surrender to the glory of God
Speaker A
within your life. Now, this could look like a variety of different things. Um, when we're suffering, Paul says, our current sufferings are not even worthy to be compared with the glory that's going to be revealed to us. So, we have
Speaker A
a eternal hope even in the middle of present suffering. And so if I'm surrendering to the glory of God in my life, part of that means I'm experiencing his glory here and now, his presence, his power, his voice. I'm
Speaker A
surrendering the I'm I'm experiencing the fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit. And I'm also stoking that fire like Paul says to Timothy. Um don't let those gifts go out. Don't let that fire go out like like uh fan the the
Speaker A
flame, right? Fan it f it into a something. It's not just like a spark, but but it is it's a bonfire in your heart, right? Yes. Absolutely.
Speaker A
Absolutely. But also, there's an aspect of his glory that's yet to be revealed to us. And I'm not putting my hope in everything working out right now.
Speaker A
Instead, if I'm going to surrender to the glory of God with my life, I'm going to surrender even in the midst of a hard situation persecution suffering difficulty, disappointment, surrender to the truth of his glory, which is eternal
Speaker A
and the truth of God's win that is for eternity. And that win came when Jesus came to the earth and he died on a cross. And there's nothing that the devil or kingdom of darkness. There's nothing that he can do to ever take that
Speaker A
away from you or from it from me. Jesus said nothing can snatch you out of the father's hand. So if I'm surrendering to God's glory, I'm surrendered to the will, the work of the Holy Spirit in my life right now, the power of God in my
Speaker A
life right now. But I'm also surrendering to the glory of God that's yet to be revealed. That is only found in a faith in Christ Jesus. Constant hope, constant faith, constant belief in what Jesus has finished. the finished
Speaker A
work on the cross that nothing's going to take away. So, this is 1 John uh 2:20. But you have an anointing from the Holy One. And you all know, so some people would say, "Well, I don't know. I
Speaker A
don't know if I have God's glory. I don't know if I have an anointing." The anointing is just the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A
Now that word anointing and I talk about this in Trump in the end times actually interestingly enough but that word anointing does not always denote and and now uh most of the time it does but but it does
Speaker A
not always denote s merely it's not merely speaking about just God's force God's in the God's power resting on a person or moving through a person or something or God supernaturally empowering something it's anointing biblically speaking oftentimes is
Speaker A
referring to God's choice. God saying, "I picked this person for this position. I picked you for a position of authority or for a purpose, for a task. I'm anointing you means I'm calling you to this task." Okay, broken down to one of
Speaker A
the most basic biblical definitions. And so, what does it say? You have an anointing from the Holy One. What is the anointing? The anointing is twofold.
Speaker A
Number one, it's the Holy Spirit himself, the the power of God. It's not a force. It's not just, oh, well, I've got this special like, you know, like we talk about the oil of of of the Holy Spirit in in charismatic circles
Speaker A
sometimes to a fault as if, well, if I just get close enough to this person, I'll get some of their oil.
Speaker A
But the anointing comes from God. It comes from the Holy Spirit uh from Look, you have an anointing from the Holy One.
Speaker A
And it's not talking about special leaders. It's talking about believers saying you as a believer in Jesus, you have where did it come from? It came from Christ. It came from believing in what he did for you. When the veil tore
Speaker A
in the temple at the same time as a prophetic picture of Jesus's body tearing and the the gap, the separation between God and man being closed, the Holy Spirit came out of the Holy of Holies and made us his dwelling place.
Speaker A
We're the temple of the Holy Spirit. So, you have an anointing from the Holy One.
Speaker A
So the next time that you're tempted, I got to go just touch the garment of this person. Now, if God's telling you to do that, then do it, right? If God says, I want you to go touch that person's
Speaker A
sweater, you know, like appropriately, obviously, the whatever, you know, it's if God's telling you to do that, then just obey the Holy Spirit, right? Don't be weird about it. But you don't have to make it into some sort of weird showy
Speaker A
thing. But theologically speaking, the next time that you're like, "Well, I'm afraid God can't move in my life, or I'm afraid I'm not going to experience his voice.
Speaker A
I'm not going to experience the power of God. I'm not I can't experience healing.
Speaker A
I can't experience the Holy Spirit. I can't have an encounter with God. I can't feel his presence." The next time you have that thought because you're comparing yourself to an anointed minister, you need you need to allow the
Speaker A
Holy Spirit to tell you, you need to get this verse out and read it. You have an anointing from the Holy One. And you all know it's not talking about some all.
Speaker A
It's talking about all believers. How where'd you get it from? Galatians chapter 3. This is the only thing I want to find out from you. Did you receive the spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? You got it from
Speaker A
hearing the gospel and believing it. Now, does that mean we're always fully aware of the Holy Spirit's power and his glory in our life? No. I mean, that's why people, you know, are like, I got filled with the spirit again last night.
Speaker A
You know, it's like they had a greater awareness of his presence and his power.
Speaker A
Every time I worship God, I get filled with the spirit again. It's not Ephesians chapter 5 says be be continuously filled. That's the language. The original language there is be be continue being filled with the spirit. It's just spend time in his
Speaker A
presence. Spend time in his presence. That's what that's what it's talking about. Spend time with him and you're going to experience more of his glory.
Speaker A
It's not that it wasn't there. It's not that you're not anointed. If you know Jesus, you are. If if you know Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the God of the universe, his spirit lives inside of you. You're you're as close as you want
Speaker A
to as you want to get. He's right there. He hasn't left. He hasn't left you alone. He's he has not left you as as an orphan. That's what Jesus said. He said, "I'll I'll be with you to the end."
Speaker A
He He fulfilled that promise through sending the Holy Spirit, putting his spirit inside of you. If you're a Christian, it's his spirit's inside of you. And you're not left alone. You have an anointing. So, but we've got to
Speaker A
realize I've already got that. I already got it, right? But what was what was the the the word I heard? Surrender. This was the first point that I heard.
Speaker A
Surrender to the glory of God within your life. Am I surrendering to the Holy Spirit today? Am I s choosing to surrender to him today?
Speaker A
Look at 1 John 2:27. As for you, the anointing which you receive from him remains in you. Do you see that? H it remains in you. That's good news. He's he's saying you didn't lose him. He didn't go away. And you have no need for
Speaker A
anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, that means the Holy Spirit can speak to you specifically through the written word and through his still small voice and through a lot of different means.
Speaker A
The main place he's going to speak to us is in the written word and he's going to make that alive. He's going to say, "Hey, this for you right now. Here you go." Or he's going to bring revelation
Speaker A
about, "Ah, now I see what that God meant by that." Or he's just going to make it real to you. You know, there's some people that read 1 John chapter 4 and they go, "There's no fear in love
Speaker A
for for perfect love casts out fear. Fear involves punishment." They go, they read that and they go in the back of their mind, they go, "Yeah, but I still have to be afraid of punishment." You know, I I like I I know that that means
Speaker A
something. I don't know what it means, but I know I still have to be I have to live in fear of punishment. And that's not true. See, that's why you need the Holy Spirit to go to slap you gently and
Speaker A
say, "Wake up. That verse means what it says." And then it the revelation of it hits your heart and you go, "I don't have to live in fear." That's what the I I'm not living in fear. I'm I'm I'm
Speaker A
abiding in the love of Christ. What am I living in? I'm living in awe of his grace.
Speaker A
That's what the fear of the Lord is. I'm living in awe of his grace. I see how deep my sin took me. And I see how deep Jesus went to get me and how far he he brought me out of it. And he brought me
Speaker A
into the best place. He didn't bring me into purgatory. He didn't bring me into the waiting room. He brought me into his house. He brought me into God's presence. And his blood speaks a better word. and I'm still invited in. That's
Speaker A
why 1 John 4 chap says there's no fear in love. I'm not afraid. Even if I make a mistake, his grace is sufficient for today. There's no fear in love. I'm not afraid anymore. And what is the world
Speaker A
going to do to me? The persecution, trials, all the things that uh Paul lists in Romans chapter 8.
Speaker A
Nothing can separate me from what? From the love of Christ. That's why I'm not afraid. There's nothing that can separate me from the love of Christ. all these things. I'm just going to go home to be with him anyways.
Speaker A
I already have the greatest gift, the greatest thing, the thing I really need. I have it because of what Jesus did. And listen, because of what Jesus did, I also have no need for anyone to teach me. Now, does God use people to teach
Speaker A
other believers to teach other believers? There's roles, there's gifts, there's callings in church in the church. Yes, it's all listed in the New Testament. It's there. But he's saying he's saying technically speaking, you have the Holy Spirit and he could teach
Speaker A
you just as just as well. That's what he's saying. He's saying you're not reliant on that.
Speaker A
He's saying you don't just hear from God through somebody else. He's saying you have the Holy Spirit. He can speak to you. He can teach you his anointing which is the spirit. It's true. It's not a lie. And just as it taught you, you
Speaker A
remain in him. Now, little children, remain in him. Okay. So, what was the word? Surrender to the glory of God within your life. Right? So, he's saying you have the anointing. The anointing teaches all things. The Holy Spirit can
Speaker A
speak to you. He He wants to be your best friend. He wants to be with you.
Speaker A
You want to He wants you to experience the power of God, the glory of God in your life. Absolutely. Encounters don't look like what we want. They look like what he wants. But if you encounter him, it doesn't matter what kind of encounter
Speaker A
it is. It's worth it. It could be the peace of God in your heart. It could be the scripture that I I was ignoring and now I'm not. Now I'm I'm I'm obeying it.
Speaker A
Now I'm walking according to the scripture. Listen, that's an encounter. That's the Holy Spirit changing our hearts and it's worth it. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what quote unquote level it's on. It's worth it.
Speaker A
Now little children, remain in him. So what's the the exhortation here is surrender to the glory of God. Surrender to the anointing. Surrender to the Holy Spirit. Just remain in him. Just walk with him. Walk by the spirit. You're not
Speaker A
going to satisfy the desires of the flesh. So that when he appears, we may have confidence and not draw back from him in shame at his coming. So what happens when we remain in him? There's no fear in love. There's no fear in
Speaker A
love. It's the same way. We're not Jesus is going to show up and we're going to be like, "All right, time to go. It's over. We're not going to so we're not going to draw back from him." Why?
Speaker A
Because I'm looking at I'm looking at Jesus and I'm saying, "I I know I'm clean. I know I'm righteous based on what you did at the cross." And listen, it's saying that's how you remain in him today.
Speaker A
Look, look at him through the lens of the cross, through the lens of the blood of Christ. It's going to keep us humble, but man, it's also going to keep us in his presence experientially. It's going to keep us close to him. We're going to
Speaker A
remain in him. We're going to keep surrendering to the Holy Spirit. So, number one, surrender to the glory of God within your life. Number two, I heard surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. Surrender to
Speaker A
my will for you. That's what God wants. It can be on a small a small level. It can be on a major level. surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. You know what is the hardest to
Speaker A
surrender to God's will? When we don't feel like it. When our feelings are saying the opposite.
Speaker A
You know the You know what's the second hardest? When common sense says the opposite.
Speaker A
When the facts say the opposite. When we when we some of us we're going to go it's a feelings battle. Other others of us it's a it's an analysis battle. We're going, "Yeah, but but look, God, on paper, it says it looks like this, and
Speaker A
you're telling me to do this. That doesn't make sense." Right? We want it to make sense. We want to understand it.
Speaker A
Others of us, we want it to feel right. Right? Now, God's going to use our feelings. He can use our feelings uh and impressions and confirmations, all that kind of stuff. But the peace of God is very different than
Speaker A
us feeling comfortable. The peace of God is very different than us feeling like, "Oh, I'm getting what I want out of this." The flesh is going to feel bad when the spirit is doing the right thing. Let's just say that.
Speaker A
The flesh is not going to feel comfortable with that, right? But I heard surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. Look at uh oh, I skipped Galatians 4:28. This was actually this one went with the first uh
Speaker A
the first point. Surrender to the glory of God within your life. Uh I'll come back to that potentially, but there it is. If you want to look up Galatians 4:28-29, this is 1 John 2 3-6. surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't
Speaker A
make sense. By this we know that we have come to know him. So this is an evidence that we've come to know him if we keep his commandments. That's his will.
Speaker A
That's what he wants. That's what he's he's commanded us to do. And then listen, when you're in a relationship with the Holy Spirit, he doesn't always have to command you to do things. He can just ask you. You just say, "Hey, this
Speaker A
is what I want you to do." Or, "Hey, will you do this for me today?" And it's it's as good as a command. It's the it's the God of the universe. But it doesn't have to feel like it doesn't have to
Speaker A
feel heavy-handed. You know, the scripture says his commandments are not burdensome. It can feel like a friendship, and it actually is. Jesus said the the servants don't know what the master is doing. But he said, "But I've called
Speaker A
you friends." So now you get to know what God's will is. You get to know what he's doing. The one who says, "I've come to know him and does not keep his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him." But
Speaker A
whoever follows his word, see, this is where the politicians get separated from the sheep, right? [snorts] The sheep and the goats, it's like, I yeah, I know I know Jesus or I'm a follower of Christ, but then they're not
Speaker A
keeping his commandments, right? It's very obvious that that that's what their life their life is about the opposite.
Speaker A
Right? Now, we all make mistakes. And if we make a mistake, does that mean we don't know him? No. If you make a mistake, that means repent live, right?
Speaker A
Just keep in repentance. Repentance is a change of mind, change of heart. It's, "Holy Spirit, I made a mistake." And listen, you're not kicked out of the family of God for making a mistake. His grace is sufficient for you today. But
Speaker A
your experience with God is going to be very different on a day-to-day basis. If you're living in a mistake that you're unwilling to confess and repent of versus if you're being transparent, honest, honest with God on a regular
Speaker A
basis, just saying, "Hey, here I am again, God. I don't deserve to come into your presence. I'm still in a process, and I'm so sorry. I thought I would be out. I thought I would be past this by
Speaker A
now. I thought this would not be a struggle at this point. Uh, but I need I need your grace today. You know what the Holy Spirit's going to remind it remind us of? Uh, his Jesus's blood is still
Speaker A
working. We've already been forgiven. His grace is sufficient. But also, he's going to remind us of, hey, you actually you needed my grace just as much yesterday when you thought you didn't.
Speaker A
We're going to start to have a different perspective on God's favor and God's grace and our position in Christ Jesus.
Speaker A
But whoever follows his word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.
Speaker A
You see, you see how there's an obedience aspect to remaining in his love. Remaining in his love is through belief. We remain in his love.
Speaker A
We believe in what Jesus did. But the the response to that because look, you see it right here. By this we know that we have come to know it. The ev there's an evidence of believing God and receiving his love. What is the
Speaker A
evidence? We're going to walk in his ways. And and that's a process. You're not going to look 100% different overnight.
Speaker A
You're not look you're not going to look like Jesus. You're not going to be living like the world one day and look like Jesus the next day. God can do a a transformative work in an instant.
Speaker A
Absolutely. And that's what happened to me. But there was also other aspects of my life that the Holy Spirit began to work on over time. And I'm still in process. I'm still in process. That's not an excuse for sin. It's not
Speaker A
especially not an excuse to live in unrepented sin. But it is the reality of what it looks like. That's why in uh [snorts] John writes in in scripture about uh if you say there's no sin in you, you're a
Speaker A
liar, right? Like if you say you've never sinned, you've lied, right? Because everybody's in process. But his grace is sufficient in God's changing us. And there should be evidence of that over time of oh no, I'm walking in the
Speaker A
ways of God now. I'm I'm my heart is to obey him and my actions are showing that yes, my heart is to obey him. But listen, that's why you can't fake Christianity. This is why you can't fake it because nobody in the flesh can
Speaker A
actually do that. Nobody in the fle they can do it for in to a small extent and for a season for a time, but the pressure is going to get them. You can't you cannot carry that burden. You can't
Speaker A
carry the yoke of Christ yourself. He's got to be the one carrying it. Even as a Christian, as a believer, as a true believer in Jesus, he's got to be the one carrying it. I'm I'm walking with him. I'm walking side by beside him.
Speaker A
It's his grace that's carried the heavy weight. It's it's lifted the load. But whoever follows his word in him, the love of Christ has truly been perfected.
Speaker A
By this we know that we're in him. So this is an evidence. The one who says that he remains in him ought himself also to walk just as he walked. So there's a transform. There's a transformation. So the first thing I
Speaker A
heard was surrender to the glory of God within your life. The next thing I heard was surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. Here's uh Romans 1:17.
Speaker A
My wife is just looking in the door and making funny a funny face. Uh uh she's beautiful even when she makes a funny face. So it's okay for me to say that she she took the uh one of our cats to
Speaker A
the vet earlier today cuz our cat got y'all pray for our cat. She got cut on her leg. But uh the vet says she doesn't even need stitches. It looked bad to us, but uh the vet was like, "No, it's not
Speaker A
that bad." That's all like, "Okay, I guess cats are pretty tough, resilient creatures." uh could make a joke about nine lives, but I can't think of one.
Speaker A
So, uh Romans 1:17, for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written, "But the righteous one will live by faith." The righteous one will live by faith.
Speaker A
Okay? As Christians, we're made righteous in God's eyes because of what Jesus has done. And that's where our life comes from because we believed in what he's done, right? But there's also an aspect of it that I am continuing. I I'm I'm re
Speaker A
the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. What does that mean? Faith is choosing to believe that God is telling the truth and that affecting our actions. It means I'm I'm living in such a way that I believe
Speaker A
God's telling the truth. So it's not just one time. It's saying it's it's a continual pro like I'm staying in that place of faith. I'm I'm going to keep believing that God's telling the truth, right? I'm going to continue to
Speaker A
surrender to his will even when it doesn't make sense. doesn't always have to make sense. God did not promise it's always going to make sense. A lot of times I don't know why God asked me to do something until
Speaker A
after I've done it and then I'm like, "Oh, now I see why." Uh I could tell you a very very sad story of a time where the Lord spoke something very clearly to me and by the time I got around to doing
Speaker A
it three weeks later, it was too late. And and I understood why afterwards and but it was it was it was sad. I was like, "Man, I wish I wish I had obeyed right away.
Speaker A
And I I don't want to I don't want to live in that space, right? I don't I don't want to steward God's will like that. Whether it's a specific word he's giving us, the Holy Spirit, or like prophecy, or just the written word, I
Speaker A
don't want to steward it that way, you know? I want to I want to be quick to obey and surrender to his will even when his will is better than ours. Like that's what you learn when you start to
Speaker A
surrender to his will on a daily basis, man. You learn God's way of doing things is better if you're stuck in those feeling. Here's here's for the feeling people. If you're stuck in the feelings and you know whether whether it's rage,
Speaker A
disappointment, uh um self there's a there's a self uh hate that some people are dealing with right now. It's like a a shame, guilt combination or or a low self-esteem, low value. Let the Lord redeem those things. Let the Lord change
Speaker A
those change those things. When the feelings are high, it can be difficult to believe God what he's saying and and to walk in his will to what he wants.
Speaker A
Listen, God does not want those things for you. When you start to understand I like if I if you're feeling that way, you're feeling a a low self-esteem. God does not want that for you. What does that mean? Want is the same thing as his
Speaker A
will. That means it's not God's will for your life. And when you understand this is not God's will for my life for me to be in this place. What is what does it look like to be in obedience to him? It it it
Speaker A
is to when when he starts to tell me and give me impressions or words or just wisdom from scripture or wisdom from other believers. When he starts to send things in my life, lifelines, and he says, "Hey, I'm reaching. I'm here.
Speaker A
Here, grab on to it. Here's a lifeline. Grab onto the floaty so you don't go your head doesn't go under the water again. Grab on. Listen, we have an opportunity to go from faith to faith to to to live by faith, to walk by faith
Speaker A
and say, "Okay, I'm going to take that lifeline because I believe it's not your will for me to stay here. I believe you're telling the truth." There are sometimes where the Holy Spirit's going to say, "I'm going to bring you out of
Speaker A
this feeling. You're not going to be here forever, but I want you to start making these small practical steps and adjustments so that you can get out of that." We've got to believe, even when the feeling's still there, we got to believe
Speaker A
he's telling the truth. I've been in this space before. when I I used to battle extreme loneliness, especially for a a season of my life. And there were times where I felt very alone and the Holy Spirit was
Speaker A
saying, "You're not alone." And I'd say, "Lord, I feel alone." And he say, "Well, you're not." I'm like, "Well, I feel alone." And I had to start changing my belief, the core of who I and say, "You know what? My feelings haven't changed
Speaker A
yet, but I believe you're telling the truth. I believe you're telling the truth." And over time, my feelings began to change. But when I started to believe that God was telling me the truth about my situation and my feelings were lying
Speaker A
to me or my feelings were not telling the complete truth, right? You can you can be I I was alone to an extent but but I was not alone because fully because God was there. There was a loneliness aspect of that season but God
Speaker A
was there, right? And so what he was saying to me was true. When I started to to to believe that in my heart, I started to make practical decisions that followed that belief instead of following the feeling because the
Speaker A
feeling was telling me, uh, you shouldn't even try. Don't even try to make friends. Don't even try to change this situation. Nah, you're just going to be hurt again. You're just going to get rejected again. That's what the
Speaker A
feelings are saying. But God was saying, no, you're not alone, and you're not going to stay in this place. And I said, okay, I choose to believe that. And when I started to believe that, I started to make decisions, practical decisions
Speaker A
based on that belief instead of based on the feelings. And guess what? Over time, the feeling's changed.
Speaker A
So sometimes it's it it is it's the feeling that's fighting God's will in our life for our life. Other times, it's the thinking. It is it's it's the thing we don't understand. I don't understand this. I need to see it all on paper. But
Speaker A
what if he doesn't give it to you all on paper before he asks you to obey? What if he just says, "Surrender to my will.
Speaker A
You're going to see it's all so much better and so much better." On the other side of that, the righteous one will live by faith. Here's the third thing I heard. So the first thing was surrender to the glory of God with your life.
Speaker A
Surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. Number three, give your time to me even before you reach the moment of decision. Give your time to me even before you reach the moment of decision. What does that mean?
Speaker A
It it means surrender to the choice that I'm going to pursue God even before I get to the middle of a crisis. I'm not going to wait for a crisis moment. I'm not going to wait for the end of the
Speaker A
world to start pursuing him as if it were needed, as if it were the most important thing. Jesus says, you know, where your treasure is, there your heart will be. Also, our time is the most valuable treasure we possess. One of the
Speaker A
most valuable treasures we possess. One of the most valuable assets we have is our time.
Speaker A
And what we're doing with our time det our heart is it it it's a it's a revealer of the heart.
Speaker A
You know, the temptation is to wait for the need to arise before we begin to pursue him in the way that he's actually worthy of being pursued. 1 John 2:15-17, "Do not love the world, nor the things of the world. If anyone loves the world,
Speaker A
the love of the father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful part of life is not from the father, but is from the world. The
Speaker A
world is passing away and also its lust. But the one who does the will of God continues to live forever." This saying, "Do not love the world." In contrast to to this is the greatest commandment.
Speaker A
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Means I I am pursu we're going to pursue the things we love. You see it right here.
Speaker A
It says when someone loves the world, what what happens is there's the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life. They they pursue those things. It's it's what can I get to satisfy my flesh. What can I what can
Speaker A
I I'm seeing all the things I want. I'm going to go after those things. I'm going to boast about the things I've done. I'm I'm putting on display the things that I've done. I'm showing it off. Right? It it it is it's an idolatry
Speaker A
that the world lives for. It it's a here's the thing that's my God. Look and see. See, I'm looking at it and I want you to look at it, too. Like, this is this is the thing. That's it's idolatry.
Speaker A
The thing you love, you're going to pursue. You're going to you're going to look at it. How do you correct this?
Speaker A
very practically. If you have a hard time spending time with God, this is what some people need to hear.
Speaker A
It's why I'm saying it this way. Get rid of the requirement mindset that you have to read a certain amount of scripture every day to be a good Christian. You have to pray for a certain amount of hours for God to love
Speaker A
you. That's not true. set aside the requirement aspect and just say I am going to I'm I'm going to practically spend time meditating on the cross and what Jesus has done for me every day. I'm going to do that. Why?
Speaker A
Not because I have to to earn something from him. No, I am already favored in his eyes. I am already his his son, his daughter because of what Christ has done. I've already received everything for I'm going to do it because he's
Speaker A
worthy of that. He's worthy of me saying thank you. And when you do that, what what what happens is when you make that choice, I with the Holy Spirit's help, by his grace, I am going to start looking at what Jesus has done for me.
Speaker A
Your your what you value is going to change. Why? Because you choose. I'm not looking at whatever it was I was looking at before. I'm not looking at that. I'm not pursuing that. I'm I'm going to start pursuing the thing I'm looking at.
Speaker A
And when you look at the cross and you look at what Jesus has done, whether by reading it in the Gospels or just thinking about it or just praising God, just saying, "Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus, for what you've done for me."
Speaker A
We're talking about it, just talking about it with somebody. What happens is it realines your focus. You You start look and you can't help but pursue him at that point. You can't help but go, "Oh, like this is where I'm meant to
Speaker A
be." you you start to see the value in it again. This is the most valuable gift I've ever been given.
Speaker A
When I was I was lost and I was without hope in the world. It's what the word says. When I was still a sinner, when I was still an enemy of God, Jesus came and he died for me. He paid the ultimate
Speaker A
price to come and get me, to redeem me, to save me, to show God's love to me.
Speaker A
And when we see the value that Christ has given to us, we see how valuable he is. We can't help but look at him. We can't help but pursue him.
Speaker A
And we begin to give him our time. We say, "You know what? It instead of it becoming a task, instead of becoming difficult, we just want to spend time with him. We say, I just want to be closer to you." and we give him our time
Speaker A
whether we're in a crisis or not and we give it to him naturally. It's the nature of Christ coming out and you know Jesus he said uh he often times withdrew to go be with the father.
Speaker A
Matthew 6:22 the eye is the lamp of the body. If so then if your eye is clear your whole body will be full of light.
Speaker A
But if your eye is bad your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness how great is that darkness?
Speaker A
what you look at, what you focus on, what you're setting your attention on, your eyes on, man, that's the thing you're going to follow after. That's the thing you're going to value. And that's ultimately the thing you're going to be
Speaker A
full of. It's the thing that's going to it's going to come out in a time of crisis, right? It's the thing I've been looking at. It's it's do we run to God during times of crisis? Yes. But when when we
Speaker A
spend our time pursuing him before something difficult, then when the squeeze comes, the pressure comes, God comes out of us. the the the the peace of God, the glory is already there.
Speaker A
We already know what God is saying about it because he's been he's he's been leading us up to that point. He's been he's been preparing us for it.
Speaker A
So, um yeah, that's it. We're going to um I hope that's okay. I'm going to go back to Galatians real fast because I skipped this one. Galatians 3. This is what that first point um surrender to the glory of God within your life.
Speaker A
Surrender to my will for you even when it doesn't make sense. Give your time to me before you reach the moment of decision. Surrender to the glory of God within your life. Uh it says uh oh that's John. There it is. Galatians
Speaker A
4:28. And you brothers and sisters like Isaac are children of promise. So it's saying you're a child of the promise.
Speaker A
You didn't have to earn it. You don't earn the power of God in your life. You don't earn the anointing. It's yours based on the promise. But as at that time the son who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one who was
Speaker A
born according to the spirit. So it is even now. You've been born according to the spirit.
Speaker A
You've been born according to the spirit based on a promise. You're a child of the promise. Now, do you get to experience more of his glory if you're pursuing him? Yeah. If you're walking with him, yeah, absolutely. It's exper
Speaker A
experientially, you're going to notice it more. Right. Right. Because you're giving him access to all those areas of your life. But he's there either way.
Speaker A
He's there either way. and you already have you already have his anointing, his promise, his his presence based on the promise because of what Jesus has done.
Speaker A
Okay, that's it. Um, we'll come back and we'll follow up on this 24-hour word um eventually. Um, if not this week, um, we'll get to it hopefully within the next few weeks. Um, but we'll see. And then we'll put it up in the archive at

Speaker A
