Hey y'all, this is Troy Black. I've got a word from the Lord or prophetic dream to share with you today. I'm highly encourage you to test this, weigh it, pray about it, see if you should even listen to this video or not um because
Troy Black shares a prophetic dream about Bitcoin's price spiking near $120,000, a word about a crypto influx, and devotional teaching on wisdom, stewardship and faith. He disclaims any financial advi
Key Takeaways
- Prophetic claims about Bitcoin and crypto markets are presented as personal impressions, not verifiable predictions.
- The creator repeatedly disclaims financial advice and encourages viewers to seek professional counsel and personal prayer.
- Scripture teaching centers on seeking God's wisdom, abiding in Christ, and avoiding self-justification.
- The video blends financial speculation with devotional content and a gospel invitation.
What the video covers
- Troy Black opens by urging viewers to test, weigh and pray about the prophetic content before acting on it.
- He explicitly disclaims that nothing shared is financial advice and that viewers should consult qualified financial advisers.
- He recounts a May 10 dream in which Bitcoin's price ran up sharply to roughly $120,000, with him scrambling at his parents' house to sell.
- He interprets the dream loosely as symbolic, suggesting ~$120,000 may mark a turning point and the dream could compress a longer trend into a short window.
- He shares a May 8 word that a huge influx of funds is headed toward the cryptocurrency market.
- He references past prophecies, including a Solana prediction he says was fulfilled when the price fell below $100, and an XRP prophecy he believes is still pending.
- He discusses his website's prophecy archive and invites viewers to request follow-ups on unfulfilled words.
- The bulk of the video shifts to Bible teaching on wisdom (James 1), abiding in Christ (John 15), sound faith, and the danger of misusing perceived injustice to justify wrongdoing.
- He draws on passages about women's roles (Titus 2) and the historical reality of slavery, and encourages prayer for his ministry during a difficult season.

Speaker A
there are some elements to this dream that I know are potentially symbolic or maybe even metaphorical uh but probably more loosely a picture of things to come rather than uh a direct uh interpretation if if that makes sense. So I'll I'm going to share
Speaker A
it. I'm I'm I do not like sharing words like this. I don't like sharing financial based words, things like that.
Speaker A
I'm only doing this today because I prayed about it and truly felt like the Holy Spirit was asking me to do this today. So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker A
I will say this as a disclaimer. None of what I'm about to share is financial advice. Please do not make financial decisions based on any of the things that I say today. That is not the purpose of this. Um what what you do
Speaker A
with this information is up to you. It's between you and the Lord. Uh but it is not something that I'm encouraging uh necessarily.
Speaker A
Um and so this is a dream I had on May 10th. I also heard a very short word about the crypto market on May 8th. I'm going to be sharing both of those things um and then a word that I received last
Speaker A
night uh that has to do with this question that many people are asking right now, where do I land after all of this disruption and mess in the body that's taking place.
Speaker A
Um so I got a word, you know, and and then I uh also received uh some some things to read. So I'm going to read I'm going to read some things from scriptures as well.
Speaker A
Um so I'm just going to share this dream. I will say this much. Um I've shared a couple of words about crypto. There was one about a month ago that I shared that was similar to this word in some senses.
Speaker A
You could go back and watch that if you'd like. I think it was called like a shocking crypto prophecy or something like that. Um I also shared uh several different words last year in one video.
Speaker A
Um uh one of them having to do with XRP. I do not believe that that word has been fulfilled yet. But there was not a specific timeline that has passed as of now and so I'm still waiting for that
Speaker A
word uh to take place. Uh there was another one about Solana, that coin, and that one was fulfilled earlier this year um in a shocking result. Uh it went from 235 at that time, $235 $235 to under $100. It's still under $100 now. The
Speaker A
Lord did not give a timeframe as to when that would change, but he did say when it drops below 100. Um and so that is what has taken place and it's still there at this moment. Um but you can go
Speaker A
back and watch those two if if you'd like. I do not remove profit prophecy videos after the fact. I don't take videos down. I know I've been accused of that. There are some There are some channels that have videos out about me
Speaker A
that still, even though we've gone to them and in and said, "Hey, we did not take that video down." They still leave the videos up saying that we took certain videos down that we have not taken down.
Speaker A
And so I would question their integrity if we, you know, once they've been presented with that evidence and they still have not removed that video. But whatever. It is, you know, it's between them and the Lord, whatever they want to
Speaker A
do. Anyways um y'all know I'm kind of in a a tough spot right now with some of the things that are happening right now with some of the things the Holy Spirit's asked me to do, some of the things he's
Speaker A
asked me to confront in this season. That's happening. So y'all keep praying for me, keep praying for my family um in this ministry um cuz we need it. We need the prayers.
Speaker A
Um but I'm also trying to be obedient to continue sharing what the Lord's asking me to share. So this is the dream I had May 10th. The reason I'm sharing this is because I believe the Lord's asked me
Speaker A
to. [snorts] Um I I had a dream that I was at my parents' house.
Speaker A
And I was at their house and I looked on my phone and I saw that the price of Bitcoin uh which is is is kind of funny because I do own I will disclose that I own a little bit of Bitcoin. I will say that.
Speaker A
Probably between 10 and $50 worth. So [laughter] I would not be acting this way.
Speaker A
Normally, you know, when it comes to Bitcoin, I was I would Yeah, anyways, it's a little funny, but in the dream, I I checked on my phone and I saw that Bitcoin was running up. Uh the price of
Speaker A
Bitcoin was running up, right? Like it was skyrocketing, essentially. Um and in the dream, I started to scramble to find a computer at my parents' house to log in and try to sell Bitcoin. Like that was what I was doing in the dream. And
Speaker A
it was very strange because um I will say this my this much. In the dream, it started out extremely low.
Speaker A
Like the price of Bitcoin started extremely low, which was odd. Like looking back, I'm not sure if that part was relevant to what's going to happen in real life or not or you know, or I don't know if that was a prophetic
Speaker A
warning or not, but the price was extremely low. And then the but the run-up went all the way up to around uh somewhere within the ballpark of 120,000. So, I I think Bitcoin's all-time high was around that price,
Speaker A
somewhere in that range. And now I think it's somewhere between 70 and 80,000. So, it's pretty low at the moment. I don't know, you know, uh I don't I don't claim to know the exact interpretation of what's going to take place. I'm just sharing
Speaker A
the dream I had. You can pray about that yourself if there's anything, you know, that um that practically you can take out of that or not, you know, that's going to be up up to you and the Lord.
Speaker A
Um but I did get an impression later when I prayed about it that that somewhere around that mark would be a like a turning point for the market. Um like uh like like if a run takes place and here's the other thing, the other
Speaker A
impression I got was the dream might have been a a very short short window of something that may take place in a longer period of time, a longer stretch outside of outside of that, right? So, it might have been like a uh
Speaker A
an amplified version, you know, so it could have been symbolic and amplified in the sense of how fast things were happening right?
Speaker A
Um but anyways, uh I got an impression later that that'd be a turning around point where that there there would be a high there, right? Around that that price range. And so, I don't know I don't know what the timing on this is.
Speaker A
I'm just submitting this as it is. I don't know what exactly is going to happen, but um you know, I do follow up on these words. We do show the results uh after they take place of what came to
Speaker A
pass. You can find that if y'all are looking for those words, you can always go to uh our website troyblackvideos.com. We have a prophecy archive, and you can actually search now. There's a little search bar, so you can search for specific terms if
Speaker A
you're looking for specific words. If there's a word uh that uh you know, a lot of people are looking for that we have not followed up on yet, um just drop us an email or drop us a comment,
Speaker A
and if we start to see those, that that usually lets us know, okay, that's something we haven't followed up on.
Speaker A
It's a acts as a reminder, so we definitely appreciate that. Y'all letting us know.
Speaker A
Um and we try to follow up on on uh the things that um we just try to follow up on things in a timely manner when we can, so.
Speaker A
Okay. Uh the next thing I heard, this was May 8th, so this is actually 2 days before that, and the word I got was a huge influx of funds is headed for the cryptocurrency market.
Speaker A
Now, I'll say this much. [laughter] Um that sounds great to some people, right? Especially if somebody's like crypto investor or whatever, that maybe that sounds great to you. I don't know.
Speaker A
But I would say again, you know, don't make financial advice just based on what I'm sharing here, you know, you you talk to a sound financial advisers, pray about it, do what you feel is right. Uh but also,
Speaker A
there are times where I've gotten words like this, and people expect that to be the very next thing that happens, and I'm not I'm not claiming that that's the next thing that's going to happen. I don't know. I honestly don't know. You
Speaker A
know, the word talks about how prophecy, and even I believe the word of knowledge is is also in that same camp, you know, is uh we we see in part, right? We don't see the full picture. Um so,
Speaker A
will the market drop before that takes place? It could. I don't I honestly don't know. I'm just saying that um to try to cover my bases because all I can share is what I've actually heard and seen, and that's it. Um okay,
Speaker A
so uh a couple things the Lord asked me to uh to address. And it's this idea of of wisdom. Um I saw a video the other day where it was a high school student being interviewed, and they were talking about
Speaker A
how they had invested some of their money into uh a sports gambling app. And it was a little shocking when I heard that. Um I recently learned about the whole Polymarket thing, uh you know, earlier this year or last
Speaker A
year, something like that, where people are able to get on there and literally bet or gamble when it comes to almost anything that's happening in the world today.
Speaker A
And this is what I felt led by the Lord to share is this idea of I I heard the phrase uh I heard the Lord say, "However, wisdom also speaks. Wisdom also speaks." And it reminded me of Proverbs 1. So, I'm going to read a
Speaker A
little bit of that, and then I want to share this other word that I heard earlier today and last night.
Speaker A
Um but there are a lot of ways it's getting more and more increasingly opportunistic for us to be unwise with our money uh in today's culture, in today's environment, and the things that are available to us.
Speaker A
There's a lot of opportunities to gamble. There's a lot of opportunities to risk things that we don't necessarily have to risk.
Speaker A
And I believe this is a word of warning, but I also believe it's mainly a word of encouragement to God's people. Uh are you being wise with the things that the Lord has in the Lord has uh handed you that he's
Speaker A
given you? I just And I hear that as a phrase, the Lord speaking right now.
Speaker A
I'm asking you to be wise and a good steward of the resources that I've entrusted you with.
Speaker A
And the Lord's saying and I will watch over the rest. I'll take care of the rest, what's left.
Speaker A
But but you be wise in the ways you you know to be wise. That's what I hear the Lord saying. So you I'm submitting this as a prophetic word. You please pray about that. Um but this is uh Proverbs
Speaker A
1:20. Um It says wisdom shouts in the street. She raises her voice in the public square.
Speaker A
The picture here is somebody who is shouting, but there's not a lot of recognition of what she's saying.
Speaker A
Why is she having to shout? Why she having to raise her voice in the public square?
Speaker A
Which is not she's because she's not getting a lot of take takers. There's a lot of unwise things going on.
Speaker A
And the Lord's saying but wisdom's still speaking. And as the body of Christ who Jesus said my sheep hear my voice, we are actually able to receive wisdom from God in a way that the world is is not when it comes
Speaker A
to financial decisions, when it comes to relationship decisions, when it comes to marriage or or culture politics or anything, work, whatever it is, the future.
Speaker A
And we see that in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 that the Holy Spirit shares the very thoughts of God. The the thoughts of God are known by the Holy Spirit and we perceive that Holy Spirit and he reveals the mysteries of God to us.
Speaker A
But 1 Corinthians chapter 2 also defines the mystery of God and it wraps everything up in the person of Jesus Christ.
Speaker A
And it points to yes, a real relationship with God where we're we're communing with him. We're hearing from him in our spirit through the written word and through the things like the gift of prophecy, the word of wisdom,
Speaker A
things like that. And through the body, but also it also is talking about how ultimately the mystery is Christ and he's the one that has given us access to God.
Speaker A
And so, wisdom raises her voice in the streets. But, what does the word say? It says, "In these last days, he's spoken to us through his son." And so, any word of the Lord can be distorted when it becomes detached from the
Speaker A
ultimate goal, the ultimate end, which is Christ. So, a a minister can be very gifted or very quote unquote wise in a worldly sense and know a lot or or very knowledgeable. Somebody can have a lot of resources or gifts or talents,
Speaker A
whatever it is the Lord has entrusted them with, but if they're pointing people past Jesus or away from Jesus, they've become unwise.
Speaker A
And they've distorted the message and and they've not stewarded the true treasure, which is Christ. That is what has been entrusted to us. It's the most important, most valuable thing we have.
Speaker A
And if you're listening to me right now and you are interested in Bitcoin, crypto, or whatever investments, even prophecy, but you don't have a real relationship with Jesus Christ and you have not repented of your sins and believed in his sacrifice
Speaker A
as the thing that saves your soul, that is the Lord calling out to you today to come to him. Like, he loves you so much, and that's the most important thing. That's the most important decision you could ever make.
Speaker A
God has not left you alone. He's not forsaken you. He's not forgotten about you. He's right there, and he's calling out to you. He's saying, "Come home, my son, my daughter. Come home.
Speaker A
It's time. It's time to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. He's right there. He's waiting. He's calling out to you. He he has been watching you your whole life. He's been drawing you unto him.
Speaker A
He's not missed one thing that's happened to you. He loves you despite what you've done, despite what other people have done to you.
Speaker A
God still loves you, and he still has a good plan for your life. He has a redemptive story for you. And if if that's you, my encouragement to you is just just come home to Jesus today.
Speaker A
Don't wait any longer. Don't put it off. It's not worth waiting. It's the most important decision you'll ever make. But for those that know Jesus, this is the temptation that the devil has proposed to the church, to the body
Speaker A
today. Is that he he's proposed this idea that there's something more. There's something more valuable than Jesus that's worth pursuing and seeking.
Speaker A
And the devil does not have to get us to reject Christ. He just has to get us to put Jesus low down on the list.
Speaker A
Put something else a little higher. And he can distort the purpose that God has for us.
Speaker A
And this is what wisdom says in Proverbs 1. It says, "They will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently diligently, but not find me because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They did
Speaker A
not accept my advice. They disdainfully rejected every rebuke from me." So, this is talking about walking in the ways of God, but everything See, this is what 1 Corinthians uh 2 talks about. This is what uh scripture uh just across the
Speaker A
board in the New Testament. I'm going to I'm going to scroll down here real fast.
Speaker A
This is Colossians 1:15. It says, "He," talking about Jesus, "is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." See, all of the new covenant points to Jesus being the way that we access God today. The way that we
Speaker A
interact with God. We have to come through Jesus. He says, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And yet, some of us were going to unfortunately, we're going to Christian things, but
Speaker A
it's it's it's the devil's version. It's his distortion of it. We're going to something else besides Jesus to get access.
Speaker A
Maybe it's a famous minister. Maybe it's a formula formulaic way of viewing the the gospel or viewing viewing the scripture. Whatever it may be. Maybe it's our own self-righteousness. Like if I do enough good, maybe it is a doctrine
Speaker A
that has been exalted above Christ. But but that's all the devil has to do is get us to go to something else. Maybe it is investing and and it's wealth building and it's the wealth transfer and it's all those things. You know,
Speaker A
maybe it is uh the the end times teachings. All he has to do is get us to Maybe it's prophecy.
Speaker A
Maybe it's the gift of prophecy. All he has to do is get us to look away from Jesus as being the source of our life, of our hope, who we're truly after, what we're truly pursuing, and where our hope comes from.
Speaker A
[snorts] If if we never get any of these other things and yet we get Jesus, we're going to be okay.
Speaker A
But what did Jesus say in Matthew chapter 7? He said, you know, many are going to say to me on that day, "Didn't we prophesy in your name and do many miracles in your name and cast out demons?" And he'll say,
Speaker A
"Depart from me. I never knew you." What is he saying there? He's saying the most important thing is knowing Christ.
Speaker A
Jesus said, "Abide in me and I in you and you'll bear much fruit." The fruit can be a very good judge and and of of what's actually happening in our walk with the Lord.
Speaker A
But we're not working to bear fruit, we're working to who abide in him. And when we do that, the fruit is going to come out of our life. God's going to bear the fruit through us. This is what
Speaker A
it says though. Proverbs 1:33, it finishes by saying, "Whoever listens to me will live securely and will be at ease from the dread of evil." So, there's this idea of security found in listening to the wisdom that God gives us.
Speaker A
And if you say, "Well, I don't know. I don't know what that wisdom is." Well, the word says that Christ became our wisdom from God.
Speaker A
And then James talk says, if any of you lacks wisdom, just ask God. And the one who asks in faith without doubting, he will receive. God is faithful to give to us generously. Like he is not going to withhold wisdom from us.
Speaker A
But that it really comes down to do I think I know or do or does God know?
Speaker A
Have I figured this out or do I still need him? Do I still rely upon him? And this is what uh this is what I heard actually earlier today and it was about a word that I got last night, too. The
Speaker A
Lord asked me to read Titus chapter 2. I'm going to read that. But this is the word I got uh earlier today. The Lord said, "Many of my people are asking the question right now, where do I land after all this
Speaker A
disruption and mess in the body?" Then I heard this as a response. And please pray into this. Test it. But I heard in the word, this is a it's it's a response to that question, where do I land? In the word
Speaker A
and with mature believers. Then I heard, "Meet with those who you know love Jesus and are walking in sound doctrine and truth." The Lord's talking about the word the written word, the foundation of his word that that he has recorded for us in
Speaker A
scripture. And he says, "But also with mature believers." If we're not meeting face-to-face, hopefully, or at the very least, regularly consistently with other mature believers in Christ, and being built up and building each other up, then we're we're missing one of the core
Speaker A
tenants that of the faith that God has for us. It's one of the the main building blocks and and structural places of security that God has for us in the under the new covenant.
Speaker A
That's why it tells the word tells us, "Don't neglect meeting together." But also the written word is so critical in this hour.
Speaker A
More and more, you know, Jesus and Paul talked about there being There's going to be false prophets. There's going to be false teachers in the last days. And we're not grounded in the word. And this is not to beat anybody up or to put
Speaker A
shame or anything or condemnation. Romans 8:1 says there's no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Speaker A
But Jesus, when he he talks about abiding in him, right? He He says, "Abide in me and I and you and you'll bear much fruit." He also, another time he makes a He He makes a statement, "Abide in my love." And then
Speaker A
another time he says, "Abide in my word." If my words abide in you. And so, abiding in Christ, part of that process is allowing the word to sink into our heart.
Speaker A
Allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us through the written word. And this is uh Titus 2. And for anyone that's asking that question, I believe this is a good answer. Um where do I land right?
Speaker A
This is what it says. It says, "But as for you, proclaim the things which are fitting for sound doctrine." And so, there's going to be many things that are not fitting for sound doctrine that are that are going to be passed
Speaker A
around in the last days that that we live in today. There's going to be many things.
Speaker A
And And the only way that we know, is this sound doctrine, is it not, is that we're grounded and we're rooted in the word.
Speaker A
And we can see through it. And the Holy Spirit's going to help us. And sometimes it's not even going to be Sometimes it's going to be the gift of the distinguishing of spirits, and we're not going to know, or it's going to be
Speaker A
the gift of wisdom. We're not going to not going to necessarily know what's wrong with something, but we're going to know something's wrong. And where do we go? Well, we go straight to the word. We say, "What does scripture say about
Speaker A
this?" And we dive in. And then we're going to learn what's true and what's not right?
Speaker A
And then it says, "Older men are to be temperate dignified self-controlled." So, this is a very clear indicator if if an older man and that it's not just talking about older men, but an older man who has been a part of the faith for
Speaker A
a long time, I would say that that that is going to apply more often than not. Um, and and not not saying that somebody has to be perfect. But this is a good indicator of of is this somebody who is trustworthy
Speaker A
or not? Is this somebody who is grounded in the faith well or not? And it says sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.
Speaker A
And then older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious got gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good. And so this is not talking about What I love about scripture is it's not
Speaker A
talking about a legalistic lifestyle. Right? But it's saying this is a specific example, nor enslaved to much wine.
Speaker A
The person who reads this has a conviction in their heart before the Lord about over indulging in things that are going to encumber encumber them weigh them down, or lead them into sin.
Speaker A
Or become sin. And so the scripture is very non-legalistic if you actually read it.
Speaker A
Yet at the same time it holds a very high standard when it comes to our walk with the Lord, and in my heart, am I right before the Lord in my heart? Is the Holy Spirit convicting me of
Speaker A
something in my heart? What is he saying yes to? What is he saying no to? And it doesn't come down to a list of legalistic rules. Well, I did that and I did this and I did this, you know? I
Speaker A
gave this much and I went to church that much and I did this thing this much.
Speaker A
It doesn't come down to that. Why? Because we could in our own wisdom and intelligence stretch that any way we wanted it to go in order to justify the things that are not right in our heart.
Speaker A
And that's what the Pharisees were doing. I I did all the rules, I did all the things.
Speaker A
And yet they were unwilling to admit I don't know everything and and God is using this man Jesus and I I need to listen, right? That they were unwilling to admit that. And so they missed the son of God himself
Speaker A
coming to the earth. They missed the glory of God. We just read that verse from Colossians.
Speaker A
It says he's the very image of God. He He He is the likeness of God. Jesus says, "If you If you've seen him, you've seen the Father." That's what Jesus said.
Speaker A
And so, it says teaching what is good. So, this is something we should be able to do, right? And obviously, this is talking to many different groups here.
Speaker A
And here's the thing, you know, I know that sometimes people read stuff like this and they go, "Well, that's just uh you know, this it it's uh it's assuming too much, right? People don't like scriptures like this that
Speaker A
that target either uh certain genders or certain age ranges or what age groups." And it and this would be my pushback towards that.
Speaker A
Is that if something is for somebody else, I can teach it, but I am not the one who is going to be able to look at somebody's heart and say, "Are you actually doing that or not?" That's for that person between
Speaker A
them and God. If it doesn't apply to me, it doesn't apply to me. But, all of these things apply in one way or another to everybody.
Speaker A
Because they're all principles like older men are to be temperate. I just turned 37, so I'm To my kids, I'm a very old man, but to some I'm I'm young, right? But, I still should be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in
Speaker A
love, and perseverance, right? Whether somebody would put me in that category or not, you know, like four-year-old who's like, "You're old." You know, um but these are all the the Holy Spirit can use a scripture to remind me of a way that I ought to be
Speaker A
as well, right? Same when it comes to where it says older women. Like these are all good things to remember, right? Look at verse four, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
Speaker A
to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
Speaker A
So, So, it comes to phrases like this, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
Speaker A
There are some things here that there's a reason why it's addressing young women specifically here.
Speaker A
But, I do not personally believe the scripture is limiting women to only being at in the house, right? I don't think this is a scripture that says women can't work in the in the workforce or any of that kind of stuff.
Speaker A
But, there's a reason why it's saying this, and it's not because of the cultural mandate of that time.
Speaker A
I believe there's a difference culturally between what was happening then versus what's happening now. But, there's a reason why God left it in here.
Speaker A
And that reason is between who? It's between God and the young woman that's reading this verse.
Speaker A
It's for them to say, "Holy Spirit, is there something here that you're speaking? Is there a truth that you're teaching me here?" Right? And is there something here that I struggle with that I shouldn't have to struggle with,
Speaker A
that you want to give me an area you want to give me freedom in?
Speaker A
Because, to be honest, there are times where, you know, and even if I'm reading the I'm not a young woman, obviously, but if I'm reading this verse, there are things in here where I I things I struggle with at times
Speaker A
where I'll just take this one for example, workers at home. Uh for me personally, where I have five kids, right? So, I work a lot at home. Most of my free time is spent helping my wife taking care of the
Speaker A
kids, cleaning the house, cleaning up after them, getting them ready for bed, getting them ready for school, getting most making them food most of my free time is spent taking care of my family.
Speaker A
And there are times where in my heart I want to complain about that. I want to say, "God, I I should be out there doing something else, or I should be here doing this." You know, and I know me and my wife have
Speaker A
had conversations about this before, right? And so, when I read that, I go, "Lord, is there something is there a a level of gratitude you want to help me to get to that you want to give me that I don't currently have that's going
Speaker A
to give me the joy that's going to give me the strength to be able to be to persevere and faithfully do the the work you've given me to do whether that's at home or outside the home whatever.
Speaker A
With a good attitude with with the right heart. And I know that you know that gratitude comes from looking at the cross and seeing what Jesus did. It doesn't come from me striving to get it or well I'm
Speaker A
just going to change my own attitude. No, the Lord all the Holy Spirit always points me back to the cross. He always points me back to Jesus.
Speaker A
Look at him. Look at your savior. Look at what he did for you. And I and in that moment my heart melts and I say Lord, what can I do for you in exchange? Like like just to say thank
Speaker A
you. What can I do today? If that's mopping up another spill in the kitchen, I'm going to do that, right? If it's getting on here and sharing something that's hard to share, I'm going to do that. If it's going out
Speaker A
and loving somebody that I meet at Walmart, I'm going to do that. And And so these are these are things that we all have to answer in our own hearts, you know, between us and the Lord.
Speaker A
Um and it says uh being subject to their own husbands. Here's another one. I know there's a lot of like, you know, cultural gears that get ground today when people see things like this. But again, I would say there's a reason why
Speaker A
it says you it's it's talking to young women and then it says being subject to their own husbands. I mean because the scripture does say as believers be subject one to another.
Speaker A
It does say that. And it also talks about uh um it talks about both uh um women respecting their husbands and and husbands also respecting their wives.
Speaker A
And so I know that we can lean a little too far in one direction sometimes when we're talking about it.
Speaker A
But again, why does it say young women and being subject to their own husbands?
Speaker A
It's not for It's not for This part is not for me. Right? This part is for somebody reading that who is a young woman to go, "Lord, is there something here between them and God? Is there something here that's for
Speaker A
me today that you're trying to teach me, you're trying to show me?" But, this part can be for me when it's when it's talking about my wife, you know? Lord, am I subject to you first off, Christ is the head?
Speaker A
And am I creating an environment where it's possible for my wife to do this?
Speaker A
But, also am I being subject to her? Because the word says, "One believers ought to be subject one to another." In the fear of the Lord, am I allowing you to speak through her into my life?
Speaker A
Am I staying accountable to you through her right? And am I loving my wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her?
Speaker A
So, there's a lot of questions that I believe the Holy Spirit can bring up when we read things like this. We we just look at it and we go, "Oh, I I I did that. I did that." We're We're
Speaker A
checking boxes sometimes, but it's Is it Has this become a conversation between us and the Lord?
Speaker A
Because sometimes it's not about the checking the box, but it's the heart behind it.
Speaker A
It's the attitude. You know, sometimes it's not Cuz here's the thing, I'm a very responsible person in a lot of ways. I'm going to clean up that next spill.
Speaker A
But, the difference is did I Is the way in which my heart was postured while I was cleaning it up?
Speaker A
Right? [snorts] And it says, "Likewise, urge the young men to be sensible." There's a reason why they put this in scripture.
Speaker A
And this is speaking more to young men now, but we all should be sensible, right? But, as a young man, right? I think I can still claim that.
Speaker A
I look at that and I go, "As a young man, am I being sensible?" You know, and that's a question I need to ask the Lord.
Speaker A
In all things, show yourself to be an example of good deeds. Am I doing that?
Speaker A
And if not, Lord, I need your power to help me. I I you, Holy Spirit, to come in and help me. I need you to change my heart. I need the grace of God to change me.
Speaker A
And we're going to see that in a second why why why I say that. With purity and doctrine, am I walking in purity of doctrine? Am I dignified sound in speech which is beyond reproach so that the opponent will be put to shame. So that
Speaker A
those who come against me and are falsely accusing me of things that there's not actual dirt, right? That there's not something actual that they can claim. But here's the thing, if there is, am I addressing that? But am I
Speaker A
am I repenting before the Lord and then also addressing it any way I need to before others as well.
Speaker A
Having nothing bad to say about us. And then it says, urge slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything. And there's a note here if you if you click on that. Slaves in first century Roman culture, this was very different than
Speaker A
what we saw in uh some of the other what's what we've seen in some of the other cultures around the world throughout history and especially in uh the early uh forming of the United States of America and and you know,
Speaker A
slavery that took place here and was eventually abolished, thank God. This is a very different kind of slavery. Um this is still in some senses happening today through the credit card industry and things like that where people will
Speaker A
get themselves into a lot of debt, unfortunately. This was a lot closer to that than it was to I I personally believe based on what I've researched and seen and read than it was to what happened early in the Americas.
Speaker A
Um and the the difference being somebody is working to pay off a debt that they put themselves in versus somebody who was kidnapped and who is a a a prisoner against their own will and against their own choices. A very
Speaker A
different situation. Um so I will say that. I know theologians have have deep dived into that.
Speaker A
Um but I think it's important to read it within the context of what what was actually being shared, right?
Speaker A
Um but it says be subject to their own masters in everything to be pleasing, not argumentative.
Speaker A
But there also is something in this that I can read and I can go am I in the situations that I don't want to be in?
Speaker A
Am I being this way? Am I being argumentative, right? Or am I being like Joseph was? Am I saying, "Lord, you got to bring good out of this bad situation." It's a very difficult thing. This is very hard topic to talk about. I don't
Speaker A
want to talk about this. The Lord asked me to read the whole chapter. I'm going to read This is in scripture. I think it's something we do need to deal with, right? We do need to be willing to read
Speaker A
and look into. Not stealing, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our savior in every respect.
Speaker A
And I think the um the practical application here is when something feels unjust, am I using it? And if it even is unjust, obviously we saw early slave slavery here in in America, extremely unjust, right? Shouldn't have never happened.
Speaker A
But today, if I'm looking at an situation that either feels unjust or actually is, am I using that? And this is This is just a conversation between me and the Lord. Am I using that to justify me doing something that's not right.
Speaker A
And that means something that I have to stay accountable to the Lord about. Right? Am I Am I excusing injustice because of injustice? And if so, I need to come back to the Lord and allow him to change that situation, to
Speaker A
change my heart. It says And so we get to this point where it's talking about a lot of practical things.
Speaker A
And it gets to a point where it gives the how. It gives the how and it gives the reason why, the how and the why.
Speaker A
So it's saying, "Here's a lot of practical advice for for those in the new covenant church which we still are today. We're under the new covenant and we're in the church of Christ being being the body of Christ. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker A
It says for for meaning like this is the reason why. And this is also the how, okay? For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all people. So when we look at this am is it am I doing
Speaker A
this I'm checking this box this list of box this this list of boxes so that I can please God cuz that's not the right motivation.
Speaker A
It's not the why. The why is no, I'm doing these things and I'm being self-controlled, dignified all I'm staying in sound doctrine. All these different things why?
Speaker A
Because Jesus died for me. Like that is the reason. That's the foundation for everything that we do, but it's also the how.
Speaker A
Watch, the grace of God appeared and look it says instructing us to deny ungodliness. So it's his grace that has instructed our hearts to say no to ungodliness. It's his grace that has changed us. That's what it's saying
Speaker A
here. It's his lovingness grace his loving kindness leads us to repentance. It says it instructing us instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age.
Speaker A
That applies today as well. This age is very different than when this was written, but it still applies. The principle is still the same.
Speaker A
So when we truly understand the grace of God. So when I'm mopping up the spills on my on the kitchen floor, you know, for the 15th time in in one day or when I'm being falsely accused online right? And I'm having to respond to that
Speaker A
or whatever it may be am I allowing the grace of God to change me? Am I looking at Jesus and what he went through what he walked through and saying Lord, I just want to be more like that.
Speaker A
I just want to be more like you. Jesus prayed in the garden. He said "If this cup can be removed from me." But he said, "But if not, it's He said, 'Not my will be done, but yours.'" Am Is
Speaker A
Am I saying that same thing based on looking at the love he poured out that day and saying, "I just want to be more like that." I want to follow in his footsteps.
Speaker A
That's why the word says, "It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." It says, "Looking" And this is should be our heart. Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus
Speaker A
Christ." Jesus, who gave himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed deed and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, eager for good deeds.
Speaker A
These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. No one is to disregard you.
Speaker A
[snorts] And so, Jesus is the goal. Every true prophetic word ought to ultimately point us back to him and point us toward his return.
Speaker A
To point us back to what he did for us on the cross and the fact that he's coming back.
Speaker A
And that's what That's what our hope is in. Not in something happening here and now. It's not the price of Bitcoin or anything like that.
Speaker A
Although God can speak to us about current day events and all that kind of stuff absolutely.
Speaker A
But we should never put take our hope and our focus out of the gospel and Jesus and put it on something else cuz we're going to be disappointed if we do that.
Speaker A
The word says those who hope in him shall not be put to shame. But if we hope in something else, we are going to be put to shame.
Speaker A
Doesn't matter what we're hoping in. It's got to be him. It's got to be him. So, that's the encouragement today.
Speaker A
And we When we put our hope in him, we're going to be okay. We're going to be okay despite what happens in this life, despite what happens here and now.
Speaker A
W- And why are we okay today is because he wants a relationship with us.
Speaker A
When we're putting our hope in him, we're seeking him. The word says that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek after him.
Speaker A
He's right there with us. He's in the mix everything we're walking through. He becomes the fourth man in the fire.
Speaker A
He becomes Jesus in the boat with us in the storm. He becomes Christ who came to the earth and was the light that dawned in a land of darkness as satin shadow.
Speaker A
Became the hope to the Gentiles. That's That's us, many of us. [snorts] Became the hope to the world.
Speaker A
That's ultimately [clears throat] the only thing that matters. What do What are we doing with Jesus?
Speaker A
What do we choose to do with him during this life? That's That's the message the world needs to hear, too.
Speaker A
I love y'all. I hope this is okay. Um we do follow up on these words of knowledge, these prophecies.
Speaker A
And you can find that the follow up on troyblackvideos.com, but I'll obviously be following up on this word at some point in the future as well.
Speaker A
And I'll see y'all next time.
