Today on The Strang Report, we're going to hear about what God is saying about Donald Trump in the
2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,880
election from a prophetic voice with a high degree of accuracy. I think it will make you think.
3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,080
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang. I'm honored to welcome back to my podcast
4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,560
Troy Black, who's a popular YouTuber, author, filmmaker, and most importantly, a prophetic voice.
5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,400
He focuses on seeing the lost come to salvation in Jesus and Christians walking in the abundant
6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,720
life that Jesus promised through the New Covenant. He believes in stewarding the prophetic gift
7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:44,080
through promoting sound doctrine, purity, and accountability. So what has the Lord said to him
8
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:50,800
about what's going in our nation, especially with the upcoming election? I think what he says to
9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Christians, especially about Donald Trump, will surprise you. Stay tuned for my conversation
10
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:11,920
with Troy Black. You don't want to miss this. Troy, thanks for taking time to be in my podcast. You
11
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,400
have your own huge audience. And as I've watched it, you seem to very humbly share what you believe
12
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,720
God is saying. So thanks for agreeing to share some of that with me and my audience. And I want
13
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,000
to ask you about what's happening in the culture. And of course, everyone is focused on the election
14
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,680
and Donald Trump. Some prophetic voices prophesied a decade ago that he would be president for two
15
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:45,520
terms. And while he was elected in 2016, he wasn't reelected in 2020. So what specifically are you
16
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,960
hearing about Donald Trump? Well, Steve, first off, I want to say thank you for having me. It's an
17
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,000
honor just to be here. Second off, I do need to kind of share a simple disclaimer that I often
18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,360
share on my own channel. And it's that prophecy under the new covenant needs to be tested. It
19
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,720
needs to be judged, needs to be weighed. And I get that from 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Thessalonians
20
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,280
chapter five. So those listening can go review those scriptures for themselves if they want to
21
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,440
learn more about that. But I would encourage every person to take prophecy before the Lord in prayer
22
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,400
and to examine it according to the scripture and compare the message that's being preached to
23
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,600
what's preached in the word of God before you run with that specific prophecy, because that's just
24
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,120
how it works under the new covenant. So I'm trying to say that everything I say today that's prophetic,
25
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,160
I'm trying to say it from that perspective. But to answer your question, Steve, I've been hearing
26
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,560
different prophecies about Donald Trump specifically and about the elections, about
27
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,000
some different politicians over the last three or four years. And I've shared several words publicly.
28
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,360
And one of the main things that I've heard about Donald Trump specifically is the Lord saying,
29
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,160
I'm still using him. I'm still using Trump. So these are words that I've heard since 2020.
30
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,440
I can't really speak into that at all prior to that, or sorry, since 2021 actually. But the Lord
31
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,960
keeps saying, I'm using him. And that's a question that many Christians I know have asked, well, God,
32
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880
why would you use someone like Trump? Or many people would automatically respond and say,
33
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,840
God couldn't use somebody like Trump. And over and over the Lord keeps pointing me to different
34
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,600
people in scripture that he's used, like King Cyrus, even Balaam. I mean, Balaam, in my opinion,
35
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040
was a false prophet, essentially. He was using divination and stuff, and different people have
36
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,160
different opinions on Balaam. But that's my perspective. And yet God used him to bless
37
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Israel instead of cursing Israel. And God even used a donkey that Balaam was riding on top of
38
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,480
in order to speak to Balaam. So I believe that God is willing and able to use anyone and anything
39
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,120
that he can. And I believe there's something very specific. There's a specific reason why God is
40
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,280
using Donald Trump during this hour, during this time, and why he's not done with him. And I say
41
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,840
that not out of a place of opinion, but I say that based on the words that I've been hearing
42
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,120
from the Holy Spirit, God's still saying, I'm not done with him. I'm not done with him. And does that
43
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,040
mean that he's going to win this year specifically? To be honest, I don't know. I'm praying that he
44
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,880
does. As a conservative Christian, I'm praying that he gets reelected. Based on what I've heard
45
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,320
from the Lord, I believe he's going to be. But the Lord hasn't clearly and specifically stated that
46
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,000
he's going to be reelected. So that's as much as I can give from that perspective. I try to be very
47
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,280
careful with connecting dots that the Lord has not connected for me. And I would warn every believer
48
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,000
this year as well. There are going to be more and more prophecies about Donald Trump coming out this
49
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,200
year, still to come, from many different voices across the spectrum. And my warning in love would
50
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:53,920
be, be careful with connecting dots that the Lord is not connecting. Make sure that it's something
51
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,160
the Holy Spirit's actually said. And then also, if it's coming from somebody that you don't know if
52
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,480
you can trust or not, take it with a grain of salt and pray about it before you move forward with that.
53
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Well, first of all, I appreciate the disclaimer that you gave. I think that's very important,
54
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,760
and I think that that adds to your credibility. I followed this thing with prophecies very,
55
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,600
very closely because I've written several books on Donald Trump. The first one, God and Donald Trump,
56
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,040
was actually... The thing that sparked it, at least, was the fact that there were some prophetic
57
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,160
voices who had prophesied that Trump would be elected. And no one thought that would really
58
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:41,440
happen, even up to election day. And it wasn't widely known, even though we had reported it
59
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,760
on charismanews.com. We did a big story in Charisma Magazine. There were some other people that did it
60
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,120
too, but I felt that it needed to be documented. And it was very, very carefully documented. And
61
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,040
there are a lot of people that hate the whole idea of prophecy. I'm talking about Christians. We call
62
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,120
them cessationists, and that's a discussion for another day. But interestingly, they didn't really
63
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,560
attack me or the book because it was very carefully documented. We had videos of Kim Clement saying
64
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,760
this and Chuck Pierce and some of the others. They did seem to say that Trump would be elected for
65
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,120
two terms, and when that did not happen. And by this time, there were a lot of other people,
66
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,640
I say kind of jumping on the bandwagon, the Trump would win. And when it didn't happen,
67
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:38,320
there was great deal of criticism. So when it comes down to an election between two people,
68
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,960
whether this election or any election, a lot of times is picking the lesser of two evils. We know
69
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:54,000
that, but we're wanting to go beyond the politics to what the Lord is saying. And I believe personally,
70
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,960
and as I put it in my books and people can read my books if they want to hear my opinion on this,
71
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:07,520
is that whatever weaknesses Donald Trump has, that his strengths far outweigh them and that he is a
72
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,200
great leader. And I've even said in different settings that it is almost like he's a hero
73
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,760
for those of us who believe in religious freedom, who believe in the sanctity of life,
74
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:27,600
and I could just go down the concerns we have. However, do we really need a hero? And also,
75
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,000
isn't it true? I've seen this, I hate to say this, and that some people, some really,
76
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,480
really strong MAGA people put him on a pedestal, almost make an idol out of him.
77
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,640
What do you think about that? Well, I know you're alluding to the word that I heard from the Lord
78
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,800
this week. As soon as you texted me a couple of days ago and said, hey, I want to have you on my
79
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,840
podcast, or I guess you texted me a few weeks ago or something like that. But when you texted me this
80
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,880
week and you were specifically saying you wanted me to share what the Lord is saying, I think that
81
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,200
there's something when it comes to the prophetic where as soon as the Holy Spirit has permission,
82
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:10,720
He's willing to go above and beyond. And as soon as I texted you back, I remember driving to the bank
83
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,360
to drop off some checks, and then I was going to go to work out. And as I was driving, the Holy Spirit
84
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,000
began to speak to me. One of the things that happened was I looked at the back of this truck
85
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,680
and where you normally see a bumper sticker on the truck or on a car, a vehicle, I saw the word
86
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,160
hero. Like I had a vision from the Lord and I saw the word hero written there, and it was there,
87
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,200
and then it wasn't there. And I was like, Lord, what was that? It was kind of crazy.
88
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,320
But the Lord began to talk to me about Trump from the perspective of Him essentially being a hero
89
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,120
for this nation right now. Now I want to clarify that, and the Lord actually clarified it himself.
90
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,440
So I want to read a little bit of this word if that's okay. But this is what I heard the Lord say.
91
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,440
He said, my people are looking for a hero, but the hero is Christ. And then He said, and until you
92
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,680
settle into that answer, nothing else is ever going to fully fall into place. So there is a
93
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,520
temptation right now, and there was in 2020, I believe there was in 2016, it's always there.
94
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,760
But specifically, there's a temptation right now that the Lord is wanting to warn us as believers
95
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,440
against. And I'm not just saying this prophetically, but I believe many Christians are
96
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,960
already sensing it in their own hearts, because this is something the Lord is having to deal with
97
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,520
in many people's hearts. And the temptation is to exalt somebody like Donald Trump to a place that
98
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,600
they were never meant to be. And this is what I believe is actually what happened in 2020.
99
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,080
So I recently released a prophecy on my channel, and it was titled something like,
100
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Why did God allow 2020 to occur? And the Lord gave me a word about 2020. And one of the reasons,
101
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,080
and I don't think it's the only reason, but one of the reasons why things went down a certain way in
102
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,240
2020 was that there was idolatry happening in the church, and God was wanting essentially to
103
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,960
shake us up or wake us up to that. And I believe that that has happened. And I believe there's many
104
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,720
people listening who view Donald Trump and view politics from the correct perspective. So to those
105
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
listening, please don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not trying to bring a condemnation, you know,
106
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,240
or I'm not trying to say this in a judgmental way, but there is a temptation there and we need to be
107
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600
aware of it. We need to be aware of the schemes of the devil. But here's what the Lord's been
108
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,840
speaking to me this week, Steve, that has kind of shocked me a little bit. So many people remember
109
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,800
the Batman series with Christian Bale that came out several, you know, maybe a decade or two ago.
110
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,520
And this is kind of funny. It's kind of weird. You know, God speaks to me in ways that I can
111
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,240
understand, and I believe He speaks to people in ways that we can understand. And so He used this
112
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,200
illustration. And I, to be honest, I did not write down what I was hearing at first, because it was
113
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,840
a little strange, but the Lord kept saying it over the last couple of days. So I finally wrote it
114
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:53,920
down. And what I heard the Lord say was, I saw the scene playing in my mind from the second Batman
115
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:00,880
film where Commissioner Gordon says about Batman, he says, this is the line, he says, he's the hero
116
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,560
Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. And what he's referring to in that moment is,
117
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:13,120
there's an evil person laying on the ground dead who's two-faced. So, you know, this picture of
118
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,480
showing one side to the public and being a different way behind the scenes, who had committed a crime,
119
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:25,200
and they wanted to keep that person looking good to the people so that they wouldn't lose heart,
120
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,840
and that it wouldn't, you know, go into more chaos, the city wouldn't fall into more chaos.
121
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,600
And so this character, Batman, and I'm not recommending that movie to everyone, you know,
122
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,640
it's a pretty violent movie. I'm not recommending it to everyone, but the Lord's using it as an
123
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,680
illustration. This character, Batman, says, I did it. He says, I'll take the rap, I'll take the fall,
124
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:48,800
I can look like the villain, I can look like the criminal in this case, so that the city is
125
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,240
protected, right? And this is what the Lord said to me. He said about Donald Trump this week,
126
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,200
and I didn't write it down at first, but I finally did. He said, he's the hero the nation needs,
127
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,640
he's the hero the nation needs, just not the one it wants. And so I believe based on this,
128
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,200
and I did not connect this to the criminal trial and all of that and the conviction until just
129
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,240
yesterday when suddenly it hit me, the Lord's talking about this, you know, this conviction,
130
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,320
and him essentially taking the rap for something and it all being in line with, this has to happen
131
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,720
in order for God's will to be done. And, you know, some people may think I'm crazy for just
132
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,240
saying that, but the picture that God is painting is that he's still working. And I just sense this
133
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,520
from the Holy Spirit right now, Steve, that the picture he's painting, he's still working,
134
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:43,440
he's still in control, and he's still got an ace up his sleeve that none of us know about right now.
135
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,720
And the Lord's not talking about everything going our way. He's not talking about, you know,
136
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,280
us getting everything we want necessarily. But what he's talking about is God is using Donald
137
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,440
Trump to defend something that's under attack in this nation, that's been under attack for a long
138
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,640
time, that matters. And it has to do with the way that the country was founded. It has to do with
139
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,760
the founding fathers. It has to do with the Constitution, but it also has to do with the
140
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:12,480
biblical values behind not everything, but some of the foundations of this nation that are under
141
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,760
attack. And God is saying, hey, even if I have to use a criminal, I'm going to use a criminal
142
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,520
in order to get this done, in order to get something done, in order to make this change.
143
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:27,200
And another thing I heard this week, I heard the Lord say, he said, I'm coming with restitution
144
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,120
and fire to burn up that which sat in my way, unknowingly opposing the very precepts I laid down.
145
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,680
And the precepts he's talking about are the biblical values that in some cases this nation
146
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,560
was built and founded upon, that are, they're not just crumbling, they're not just under attack.
147
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:50,960
They're lying in a pile of rubble right now for many different reasons, but specifically because
148
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:57,360
the leaders in place have not upheld those values. And even in the cases of the people wanting those
149
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,720
values to stay in place, the leaders have not represented the people accurately in protecting
150
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,560
those values and protecting the rights and protecting the freedom. So that's what I've
151
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:10,080
been hearing this week, Steve. That's what I believe the Lord is saying. I'm submitting this
152
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,160
as a prophetic word, the parts that were from the Lord, and I'm saying, hey, everyone listening,
153
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,080
take this to the Lord in prayer and pray about it. If the Holy Spirit tells you differently,
154
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,680
go with what the Lord's saying. If the word of God says something else, go with what the word of God
155
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,840
is saying. But I'm submitting this as a prophetic word and asking everyone listening to pray about
156
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:34,720
it. Well, let's talk about the 2020 election. It was very close and there's been a lot of discussion.
157
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Was it stolen? Was it not stolen? Right. And there were prophetic voices, some of them pretty shrill.
158
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,080
There were people that I personally kind of tried to keep my distance from because I didn't agree with
159
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:54,400
the attack they were taking. But why do you think the election went the way it did? Because we had
160
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:02,320
a lot of problems in 2020. It seems in some ways that they've even been worse with Joe Biden in the
161
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,400
White House. You know, we don't have time to go into all that. But why do you think it happened the
162
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:14,720
way it did, kind of in light of what you've been talking about? Well, I think one of the reasons,
163
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,560
like I said, could potentially be idolatry. And I believe that's what the Lord has shown me through
164
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:24,480
that other prophetic word that I shared. You know, that there's a opportunity for us as Christians
165
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,440
to represent Jesus Christ to the world. And as soon as we put our hope and our trust and the
166
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,040
future, not just of our lives, but of this nation, into the hands of a politician, Trump, Biden,
167
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:43,600
whoever it is, or a party, or something happening in the White House, you know, like somebody getting
168
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
elected, as soon as we put our hope into that, what's going to happen is every opportunity that
169
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,120
we have to share Jesus with the world is going to be tainted by where our hope is actually lying.
170
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,400
Because we're going to get into conversations with people this year who are unsaved or who are on the
171
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,680
fence about God and about Jesus. And as the church, what did Jesus say? He said, hey, this is the great
172
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,440
commission. Go into all the world and preach the good news to all nations. And we're going to be,
173
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,600
if our hope is in something else other than the good news of Jesus Christ, what's going to happen
174
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,080
is we're going to be teeter tottering and we're going to end up preaching a good news that Jesus
175
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,840
didn't tell us to preach. And we're going to say, well, here's the good news is that Trump is coming
176
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:28,000
back. And it's like, wait a minute, that is some good news, but it's not the good news. And it's
177
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,160
secondary to the actual gospel message itself. And I would say not just secondary, it's way below
178
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,640
par, right? It's way down here with all these other things. There's one message that stands
179
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,840
above everything else and anything, any thread of idolatry in our hearts is going to make it
180
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,720
more difficult. Now it's not impossible. God can still use us even when we've got issues to work
181
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,080
on. I believe that a hundred percent because of the grace of God, because of his compassion,
182
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,760
his mercy, but it makes it so much more difficult to take those opportunities when we have them and
183
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480
to lay down maybe some pride, maybe some, you know, some of the things we're putting our hope in and
184
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,800
to say, Hey, I know we have some political disagreements right now, or maybe we're on the
185
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:13,440
same side. It doesn't matter, but whatever it is, politics aside, where are you with the Lord
186
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,080
right now? You know, have you met Jesus for yourself? Can I please share with you what Jesus
187
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,160
has done for me and what he's meant for me in my life and the things that he saved me from and
188
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,840
pulled me out of, you know, and the change that he made in my life. You know, there is this verse
189
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:33,360
in first Corinthians that talks about God using the foolish things of the world to confound the
190
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,640
wise. And yes, we could apply that to someone like Trump. We could apply that to God, you know,
191
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,640
using some things that the world would, you know, a lot of the media in the world is calling foolish
192
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,880
and stuff. You know, God can still work through those areas, but more specifically what he's
193
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,640
talking about there is he's talking about the gospel message, the message of the cross itself
194
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,640
that the God of the universe, who could do anything, who's all powerful, the creator,
195
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,880
decided, hey, I am going to come down and I'm going to allow my son, myself to be crucified
196
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,080
on a cross when I didn't have to. And that's the message that the world needs to hear. And it sounds
197
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,280
like foolishness to some people. And here's the temptation as well, Steve, is to us in the church
198
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,000
preaching that message when we could be trying to convert someone to conservativism or, you know,
199
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,680
to our political sway. That can seem like foolish sometimes, but the Holy Spirit's going to come in
200
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,560
in that moment. He's going to say, hey, I know you want to say this over here, but let's shelve that
201
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,400
for now, because this person needs the love of Christ right now. They need to hear about what
202
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,800
God has done for them. And yes, God can use the political platform. He can use all of that as an
203
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,440
opportunity, a witnessing tool. And I believe he's doing that. And specifically, I'd like to share it
204
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,640
one way that he is in a minute, but more importantly, are we listening in the moment to what the
205
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,360
Holy Spirit is leading us to do and say? And I believe, Steve, more than anything else, if
206
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:57,760
somebody gets radically saved and they get filled with the Spirit, if there's something wrong with
207
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,200
the issues they're supporting and the politicians that they want to see in office, the Holy Spirit's
208
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,000
going to begin to work on that in ways that we honestly never could. And he's going to make more
209
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,560
of a change in their heart than we ever could. So my encouragement to every person listening would be,
210
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,840
let the Holy Spirit examine your heart this year and say, Holy Spirit, am I sharing the good news
211
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,880
or am I just sharing some good news? Which one is the priority? And that's not to say that we can't
212
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:28,160
stand up for freedom. That's not to say we can't stand up for biblical values in the government.
213
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,440
I absolutely believe that we should be doing that, but we should be doing that within the context of
214
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,440
my first and highest priority is to share Jesus with people who need him.
215
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Well, I agree with you 100%. And I think what you're saying is so important that I wanted to use my
216
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:50,320
platform to give you an opportunity to say it. And you also told me before we started that God told
217
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,720
you he's still working and he has an assignment for us as we fight for biblical values in this nation.
218
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,160
And I'd like to ask you if you would elaborate on that.
219
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Well, that assignment looks different for every single Christian, you know, but the first thing we
220
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,080
need to do when it comes to the election, it comes to the biblical values and everything, we need to
221
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,640
pray and say, Holy Spirit, who do you want me to vote for? Number one, Holy Spirit, what other
222
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,440
practical steps do you want me to take? You know, I had to do that in 2016, Steve. And to be honest,
223
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,680
I've shared this on my platform recently. I wasn't going to vote for Donald Trump if I was just
224
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,920
thinking from my natural perspective, because I had all these questions in mind. And I obviously
225
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,560
wasn't going to vote for Hillary either, but my thought was, do I not vote or do I vote for a
226
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,880
third party? Like who do, what do I do here? And I prayed and the Holy Spirit said, I want you to
227
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,680
vote for Donald Trump. And I said, okay, all my questions will be answered later. I just have to
228
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,320
be obedient. So as Christians, we need to be obedient to what the Holy Spirit is asking us
229
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,720
to do. And the only way to do that is to actually go into our prayer closet or the car or wherever
230
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,040
we meet with the Lord, you know, on our way to work, turn the worship music on and just, or
231
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,720
whatever, you know, whatever works for you, but just say, Holy Spirit, what are you saying to me
232
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,800
for this season? Do you have a practical step? And if He doesn't give you something specifically
233
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,680
practical, we've already got steps to take in the word and we need to make sure we're at first off,
234
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,400
we're handling that, right? And the good news is God's grace is available. If we're missing
235
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,680
something, you know, or we're off or the Holy Spirit has to correct something, His grace is
236
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,320
available and we don't have to be condemned by that. We don't have to be ashamed of that,
237
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,560
but instead we can make that correction under the leading of the Holy Spirit and through the love
238
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:33,360
of Christ. You know, there's a lot of things in the news about how people who hold to conservative
239
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,280
values and certainly biblical values are actually persecuted. Now they lose their jobs. I mean,
240
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,680
there's a movie coming out called Average Joe in which a coach was actually fired because he knelt
241
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:52,320
in prayer. Yet other football players were taking a knee to show disrespect to the national anthem.
242
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,440
And there's many, many examples, you know, this is pride month and there was a man who was going to
243
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:05,040
be fired because he wouldn't raise the pride flag. Do you think that more, do you think we can expect
244
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,800
more of this in the future? What is the Lord saying about that?
245
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,440
Yes, Steve. So I don't have time to read the word right now that I heard, but I did recently hear
246
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,960
a word about persecution coming to Christians specifically in this nation, especially during
247
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,600
ramping up in the fall of this year. So I will be sharing that word at a later date, obviously not
248
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,560
right now, but that's not something we need to be afraid of. I mean, Jesus says, hey, you're blessed
249
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,680
when you're persecuted, but it is something we need to be aware of. And when the persecution comes,
250
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,880
number one, God can work all things for good to those who love Him or called according to His
251
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,400
purposes. So if I have to lose my job for saying yes to the Lord, yes to biblical values, I'm
252
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,560
standing up for what's right, then God's going to bring something better along at the right time.
253
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,160
Right. Or if I have to make a decision that makes me look like an idiot to the culture, I can do
254
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,280
that. And I can do that with a smile on my face, knowing that God's still in control and that I'm
255
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,200
technically blessed according to what Jesus said. So there is a level of sacrifice that it takes to
256
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,240
stand up for truth, to stand up for what's right, to stand up for the word of God in the
257
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,280
society and the culture we live in. But I'm here to tell you, no matter who you are, it's worth it.
258
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,760
That sacrifice is worth it because you're not making it alone. Jesus Christ is standing there
259
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,520
with you through the power of the Holy Spirit, just like the three men in the fiery furnace.
260
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,520
What do we see happen? They stand up for what's right. And they said, God is going to deliver us.
261
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,360
And even if He doesn't, we're still not going to bow. So they were not willing to compromise.
262
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:37,040
But what do we see happen right after that? There's a fourth man in the fire and Jesus,
263
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,680
His presence is with them like a fire. And Jesus is with them like a fire. And Jesus is
264
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,160
with them like never before. And that's what I believe we're going to see as a nation and
265
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,800
as Christians who live in this nation. We're going to see an outpouring of the glory of God.
266
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,600
And I mean that in a very practical way. I'm not talking about some a theoretical thing out there,
267
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,400
or some like, well, revival's coming sometime. No, I'm talking about in our personal lives,
268
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,800
we're going to see, we're going to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. We're going to sense the
269
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:12,000
nearness of the Holy Spirit. And we're going to be able to say, no, I have the peace of God about
270
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,160
this. And I don't have to be afraid of what the culture says. Even if I lose something in order
271
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,760
to be obedient, I would rather walk in the peace and the joy and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
272
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,640
Well, as we wrap up this short podcast, I want you to give the last word, but I also want you to
273
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,800
tell my audience how they can connect with you, how they can subscribe to your podcast. And if
274
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:40,320
they want to reach you, how do they do that? Yeah. So you can just search for Troy Black on
275
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,000
YouTube. I'm also on Facebook, Instagram, and I'm on Rumble now as well. But then on top of that,
276
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,560
you can go to TroyBlackVideos.com where you can actually find my prophecy archive.
277
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,160
So we've put up a list of predictive prophetic words I've shared over the last three or four
278
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,560
years. And we're showing the results. We're showing, hey, here's what I said. Here's what
279
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,000
happened. Here's the timeline I said was going to happen. And here's what happened within that
280
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,320
timeline so that people can go and they can read the words for themselves. They can examine it.
281
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,920
They can pray about it. They can make a judgment call themselves. So they don't just have to take
282
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,840
my word for it that I'm hearing from God, but they can look at it. And I believe when people
283
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,520
go look at that archive, they're going to see consistency and they're going to see accuracy as
284
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,200
well. But then on top of that, I'm also creating a film this year called The Outlier. And it's a
285
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,320
documentary film about Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. We're also going to be talking about
286
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,160
some of the things that happened after that. And so if you all want to watch the very short
287
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,280
teaser trailer on YouTube, just search for The Outlier teaser trailer and you should be able to
288
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,320
find that. Now, please note it is a teaser, so there's not a lot of content to it there yet.
289
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:50,320
We're going to be launching an official trailer at a later date, but that film is coming out this
290
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,080
year. And so if you want to follow that, go check out the teaser trailer on YouTube.
291
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,440
I hope you enjoyed my interview with Troy Black. I believe what he has to say is very important.

to The Strang Report. Until next time, God bless you.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
Today on The Strang Report, we're going to hear about what God is saying about Donald Trump in the
2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,880
election from a prophetic voice with a high degree of accuracy. I think it will make you think.
3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,080
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang. I'm honored to welcome back to my podcast
4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,560
Troy Black, who's a popular YouTuber, author, filmmaker, and most importantly, a prophetic voice.
5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,400
He focuses on seeing the lost come to salvation in Jesus and Christians walking in the abundant
6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,720
life that Jesus promised through the New Covenant. He believes in stewarding the prophetic gift
7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:44,080
through promoting sound doctrine, purity, and accountability. So what has the Lord said to him
8
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:50,800
about what's going in our nation, especially with the upcoming election? I think what he says to
9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Christians, especially about Donald Trump, will surprise you. Stay tuned for my conversation
10
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:11,920
with Troy Black. You don't want to miss this. Troy, thanks for taking time to be in my podcast. You
11
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,400
have your own huge audience. And as I've watched it, you seem to very humbly share what you believe
12
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,720
God is saying. So thanks for agreeing to share some of that with me and my audience. And I want
13
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,000
to ask you about what's happening in the culture. And of course, everyone is focused on the election
14
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,680
and Donald Trump. Some prophetic voices prophesied a decade ago that he would be president for two
15
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:45,520
terms. And while he was elected in 2016, he wasn't reelected in 2020. So what specifically are you
16
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,960
hearing about Donald Trump? Well, Steve, first off, I want to say thank you for having me. It's an
17
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,000
honor just to be here. Second off, I do need to kind of share a simple disclaimer that I often
18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,360
share on my own channel. And it's that prophecy under the new covenant needs to be tested. It
19
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,720
needs to be judged, needs to be weighed. And I get that from 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Thessalonians
20
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,280
chapter five. So those listening can go review those scriptures for themselves if they want to
21
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,440
learn more about that. But I would encourage every person to take prophecy before the Lord in prayer
22
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,400
and to examine it according to the scripture and compare the message that's being preached to
23
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,600
what's preached in the word of God before you run with that specific prophecy, because that's just
24
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,120
how it works under the new covenant. So I'm trying to say that everything I say today that's prophetic,
25
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,160
I'm trying to say it from that perspective. But to answer your question, Steve, I've been hearing
26
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,560
different prophecies about Donald Trump specifically and about the elections, about
27
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,000
some different politicians over the last three or four years. And I've shared several words publicly.
28
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,360
And one of the main things that I've heard about Donald Trump specifically is the Lord saying,
29
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,160
I'm still using him. I'm still using Trump. So these are words that I've heard since 2020.
30
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,440
I can't really speak into that at all prior to that, or sorry, since 2021 actually. But the Lord
31
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,960
keeps saying, I'm using him. And that's a question that many Christians I know have asked, well, God,
32
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880
why would you use someone like Trump? Or many people would automatically respond and say,
33
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,840
God couldn't use somebody like Trump. And over and over the Lord keeps pointing me to different
34
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,600
people in scripture that he's used, like King Cyrus, even Balaam. I mean, Balaam, in my opinion,
35
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040
was a false prophet, essentially. He was using divination and stuff, and different people have
36
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,160
different opinions on Balaam. But that's my perspective. And yet God used him to bless
37
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Israel instead of cursing Israel. And God even used a donkey that Balaam was riding on top of
38
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,480
in order to speak to Balaam. So I believe that God is willing and able to use anyone and anything
39
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,120
that he can. And I believe there's something very specific. There's a specific reason why God is
40
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,280
using Donald Trump during this hour, during this time, and why he's not done with him. And I say
41
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,840
that not out of a place of opinion, but I say that based on the words that I've been hearing
42
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,120
from the Holy Spirit, God's still saying, I'm not done with him. I'm not done with him. And does that
43
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,040
mean that he's going to win this year specifically? To be honest, I don't know. I'm praying that he
44
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,880
does. As a conservative Christian, I'm praying that he gets reelected. Based on what I've heard
45
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,320
from the Lord, I believe he's going to be. But the Lord hasn't clearly and specifically stated that
46
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,000
he's going to be reelected. So that's as much as I can give from that perspective. I try to be very
47
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,280
careful with connecting dots that the Lord has not connected for me. And I would warn every believer
48
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,000
this year as well. There are going to be more and more prophecies about Donald Trump coming out this
49
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,200
year, still to come, from many different voices across the spectrum. And my warning in love would
50
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:53,920
be, be careful with connecting dots that the Lord is not connecting. Make sure that it's something
51
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,160
the Holy Spirit's actually said. And then also, if it's coming from somebody that you don't know if
52
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,480
you can trust or not, take it with a grain of salt and pray about it before you move forward with that.
53
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Well, first of all, I appreciate the disclaimer that you gave. I think that's very important,
54
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,760
and I think that that adds to your credibility. I followed this thing with prophecies very,
55
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,600
very closely because I've written several books on Donald Trump. The first one, God and Donald Trump,
56
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,040
was actually... The thing that sparked it, at least, was the fact that there were some prophetic
57
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,160
voices who had prophesied that Trump would be elected. And no one thought that would really
58
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:41,440
happen, even up to election day. And it wasn't widely known, even though we had reported it
59
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,760
on charismanews.com. We did a big story in Charisma Magazine. There were some other people that did it
60
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,120
too, but I felt that it needed to be documented. And it was very, very carefully documented. And
61
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,040
there are a lot of people that hate the whole idea of prophecy. I'm talking about Christians. We call
62
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,120
them cessationists, and that's a discussion for another day. But interestingly, they didn't really
63
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,560
attack me or the book because it was very carefully documented. We had videos of Kim Clement saying
64
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,760
this and Chuck Pierce and some of the others. They did seem to say that Trump would be elected for
65
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,120
two terms, and when that did not happen. And by this time, there were a lot of other people,
66
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,640
I say kind of jumping on the bandwagon, the Trump would win. And when it didn't happen,
67
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:38,320
there was great deal of criticism. So when it comes down to an election between two people,
68
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,960
whether this election or any election, a lot of times is picking the lesser of two evils. We know
69
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:54,000
that, but we're wanting to go beyond the politics to what the Lord is saying. And I believe personally,
70
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,960
and as I put it in my books and people can read my books if they want to hear my opinion on this,
71
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:07,520
is that whatever weaknesses Donald Trump has, that his strengths far outweigh them and that he is a
72
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,200
great leader. And I've even said in different settings that it is almost like he's a hero
73
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,760
for those of us who believe in religious freedom, who believe in the sanctity of life,
74
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:27,600
and I could just go down the concerns we have. However, do we really need a hero? And also,
75
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,000
isn't it true? I've seen this, I hate to say this, and that some people, some really,
76
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,480
really strong MAGA people put him on a pedestal, almost make an idol out of him.
77
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,640
What do you think about that? Well, I know you're alluding to the word that I heard from the Lord
78
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,800
this week. As soon as you texted me a couple of days ago and said, hey, I want to have you on my
79
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,840
podcast, or I guess you texted me a few weeks ago or something like that. But when you texted me this
80
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,880
week and you were specifically saying you wanted me to share what the Lord is saying, I think that
81
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,200
there's something when it comes to the prophetic where as soon as the Holy Spirit has permission,
82
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:10,720
He's willing to go above and beyond. And as soon as I texted you back, I remember driving to the bank
83
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,360
to drop off some checks, and then I was going to go to work out. And as I was driving, the Holy Spirit
84
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,000
began to speak to me. One of the things that happened was I looked at the back of this truck
85
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,680
and where you normally see a bumper sticker on the truck or on a car, a vehicle, I saw the word
86
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,160
hero. Like I had a vision from the Lord and I saw the word hero written there, and it was there,
87
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,200
and then it wasn't there. And I was like, Lord, what was that? It was kind of crazy.
88
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,320
But the Lord began to talk to me about Trump from the perspective of Him essentially being a hero
89
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,120
for this nation right now. Now I want to clarify that, and the Lord actually clarified it himself.
90
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,440
So I want to read a little bit of this word if that's okay. But this is what I heard the Lord say.
91
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,440
He said, my people are looking for a hero, but the hero is Christ. And then He said, and until you
92
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,680
settle into that answer, nothing else is ever going to fully fall into place. So there is a
93
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,520
temptation right now, and there was in 2020, I believe there was in 2016, it's always there.
94
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,760
But specifically, there's a temptation right now that the Lord is wanting to warn us as believers
95
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,440
against. And I'm not just saying this prophetically, but I believe many Christians are
96
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,960
already sensing it in their own hearts, because this is something the Lord is having to deal with
97
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,520
in many people's hearts. And the temptation is to exalt somebody like Donald Trump to a place that
98
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,600
they were never meant to be. And this is what I believe is actually what happened in 2020.
99
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,080
So I recently released a prophecy on my channel, and it was titled something like,
100
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Why did God allow 2020 to occur? And the Lord gave me a word about 2020. And one of the reasons,
101
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,080
and I don't think it's the only reason, but one of the reasons why things went down a certain way in
102
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,240
2020 was that there was idolatry happening in the church, and God was wanting essentially to
103
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,960
shake us up or wake us up to that. And I believe that that has happened. And I believe there's many
104
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,720
people listening who view Donald Trump and view politics from the correct perspective. So to those
105
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
listening, please don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not trying to bring a condemnation, you know,
106
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,240
or I'm not trying to say this in a judgmental way, but there is a temptation there and we need to be
107
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,600
aware of it. We need to be aware of the schemes of the devil. But here's what the Lord's been
108
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,840
speaking to me this week, Steve, that has kind of shocked me a little bit. So many people remember
109
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,800
the Batman series with Christian Bale that came out several, you know, maybe a decade or two ago.
110
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,520
And this is kind of funny. It's kind of weird. You know, God speaks to me in ways that I can
111
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,240
understand, and I believe He speaks to people in ways that we can understand. And so He used this
112
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,200
illustration. And I, to be honest, I did not write down what I was hearing at first, because it was
113
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,840
a little strange, but the Lord kept saying it over the last couple of days. So I finally wrote it
114
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:53,920
down. And what I heard the Lord say was, I saw the scene playing in my mind from the second Batman
115
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:00,880
film where Commissioner Gordon says about Batman, he says, this is the line, he says, he's the hero
116
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,560
Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. And what he's referring to in that moment is,
117
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:13,120
there's an evil person laying on the ground dead who's two-faced. So, you know, this picture of
118
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,480
showing one side to the public and being a different way behind the scenes, who had committed a crime,
119
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:25,200
and they wanted to keep that person looking good to the people so that they wouldn't lose heart,
120
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,840
and that it wouldn't, you know, go into more chaos, the city wouldn't fall into more chaos.
121
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,600
And so this character, Batman, and I'm not recommending that movie to everyone, you know,
122
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,640
it's a pretty violent movie. I'm not recommending it to everyone, but the Lord's using it as an
123
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,680
illustration. This character, Batman, says, I did it. He says, I'll take the rap, I'll take the fall,
124
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:48,800
I can look like the villain, I can look like the criminal in this case, so that the city is
125
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,240
protected, right? And this is what the Lord said to me. He said about Donald Trump this week,
126
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,200
and I didn't write it down at first, but I finally did. He said, he's the hero the nation needs,
127
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,640
he's the hero the nation needs, just not the one it wants. And so I believe based on this,
128
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,200
and I did not connect this to the criminal trial and all of that and the conviction until just
129
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,240
yesterday when suddenly it hit me, the Lord's talking about this, you know, this conviction,
130
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,320
and him essentially taking the rap for something and it all being in line with, this has to happen
131
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,720
in order for God's will to be done. And, you know, some people may think I'm crazy for just
132
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,240
saying that, but the picture that God is painting is that he's still working. And I just sense this
133
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,520
from the Holy Spirit right now, Steve, that the picture he's painting, he's still working,
134
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:43,440
he's still in control, and he's still got an ace up his sleeve that none of us know about right now.
135
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,720
And the Lord's not talking about everything going our way. He's not talking about, you know,
136
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,280
us getting everything we want necessarily. But what he's talking about is God is using Donald
137
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,440
Trump to defend something that's under attack in this nation, that's been under attack for a long
138
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,640
time, that matters. And it has to do with the way that the country was founded. It has to do with
139
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,760
the founding fathers. It has to do with the Constitution, but it also has to do with the
140
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:12,480
biblical values behind not everything, but some of the foundations of this nation that are under
141
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,760
attack. And God is saying, hey, even if I have to use a criminal, I'm going to use a criminal
142
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,520
in order to get this done, in order to get something done, in order to make this change.
143
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:27,200
And another thing I heard this week, I heard the Lord say, he said, I'm coming with restitution
144
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,120
and fire to burn up that which sat in my way, unknowingly opposing the very precepts I laid down.
145
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,680
And the precepts he's talking about are the biblical values that in some cases this nation
146
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,560
was built and founded upon, that are, they're not just crumbling, they're not just under attack.
147
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:50,960
They're lying in a pile of rubble right now for many different reasons, but specifically because
148
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:57,360
the leaders in place have not upheld those values. And even in the cases of the people wanting those
149
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,720
values to stay in place, the leaders have not represented the people accurately in protecting
150
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,560
those values and protecting the rights and protecting the freedom. So that's what I've
151
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:10,080
been hearing this week, Steve. That's what I believe the Lord is saying. I'm submitting this
152
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,160
as a prophetic word, the parts that were from the Lord, and I'm saying, hey, everyone listening,
153
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,080
take this to the Lord in prayer and pray about it. If the Holy Spirit tells you differently,
154
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,680
go with what the Lord's saying. If the word of God says something else, go with what the word of God
155
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,840
is saying. But I'm submitting this as a prophetic word and asking everyone listening to pray about
156
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:34,720
it. Well, let's talk about the 2020 election. It was very close and there's been a lot of discussion.
157
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Was it stolen? Was it not stolen? Right. And there were prophetic voices, some of them pretty shrill.
158
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,080
There were people that I personally kind of tried to keep my distance from because I didn't agree with
159
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:54,400
the attack they were taking. But why do you think the election went the way it did? Because we had
160
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:02,320
a lot of problems in 2020. It seems in some ways that they've even been worse with Joe Biden in the
161
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,400
White House. You know, we don't have time to go into all that. But why do you think it happened the
162
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:14,720
way it did, kind of in light of what you've been talking about? Well, I think one of the reasons,
163
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,560
like I said, could potentially be idolatry. And I believe that's what the Lord has shown me through
164
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:24,480
that other prophetic word that I shared. You know, that there's a opportunity for us as Christians
165
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,440
to represent Jesus Christ to the world. And as soon as we put our hope and our trust and the
166
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,040
future, not just of our lives, but of this nation, into the hands of a politician, Trump, Biden,
167
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:43,600
whoever it is, or a party, or something happening in the White House, you know, like somebody getting
168
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
elected, as soon as we put our hope into that, what's going to happen is every opportunity that
169
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,120
we have to share Jesus with the world is going to be tainted by where our hope is actually lying.
170
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,400
Because we're going to get into conversations with people this year who are unsaved or who are on the
171
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,680
fence about God and about Jesus. And as the church, what did Jesus say? He said, hey, this is the great
172
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,440
commission. Go into all the world and preach the good news to all nations. And we're going to be,
173
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,600
if our hope is in something else other than the good news of Jesus Christ, what's going to happen
174
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,080
is we're going to be teeter tottering and we're going to end up preaching a good news that Jesus
175
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,840
didn't tell us to preach. And we're going to say, well, here's the good news is that Trump is coming
176
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:28,000
back. And it's like, wait a minute, that is some good news, but it's not the good news. And it's
177
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,160
secondary to the actual gospel message itself. And I would say not just secondary, it's way below
178
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,640
par, right? It's way down here with all these other things. There's one message that stands
179
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,840
above everything else and anything, any thread of idolatry in our hearts is going to make it
180
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,720
more difficult. Now it's not impossible. God can still use us even when we've got issues to work
181
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,080
on. I believe that a hundred percent because of the grace of God, because of his compassion,
182
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,760
his mercy, but it makes it so much more difficult to take those opportunities when we have them and
183
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480
to lay down maybe some pride, maybe some, you know, some of the things we're putting our hope in and
184
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,800
to say, Hey, I know we have some political disagreements right now, or maybe we're on the
185
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:13,440
same side. It doesn't matter, but whatever it is, politics aside, where are you with the Lord
186
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,080
right now? You know, have you met Jesus for yourself? Can I please share with you what Jesus
187
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,160
has done for me and what he's meant for me in my life and the things that he saved me from and
188
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,840
pulled me out of, you know, and the change that he made in my life. You know, there is this verse
189
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:33,360
in first Corinthians that talks about God using the foolish things of the world to confound the
190
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,640
wise. And yes, we could apply that to someone like Trump. We could apply that to God, you know,
191
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,640
using some things that the world would, you know, a lot of the media in the world is calling foolish
192
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,880
and stuff. You know, God can still work through those areas, but more specifically what he's
193
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,640
talking about there is he's talking about the gospel message, the message of the cross itself
194
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,640
that the God of the universe, who could do anything, who's all powerful, the creator,
195
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,880
decided, hey, I am going to come down and I'm going to allow my son, myself to be crucified
196
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,080
on a cross when I didn't have to. And that's the message that the world needs to hear. And it sounds
197
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,280
like foolishness to some people. And here's the temptation as well, Steve, is to us in the church
198
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,000
preaching that message when we could be trying to convert someone to conservativism or, you know,
199
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,680
to our political sway. That can seem like foolish sometimes, but the Holy Spirit's going to come in
200
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,560
in that moment. He's going to say, hey, I know you want to say this over here, but let's shelve that
201
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,400
for now, because this person needs the love of Christ right now. They need to hear about what
202
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,800
God has done for them. And yes, God can use the political platform. He can use all of that as an
203
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,440
opportunity, a witnessing tool. And I believe he's doing that. And specifically, I'd like to share it
204
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,640
one way that he is in a minute, but more importantly, are we listening in the moment to what the
205
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,360
Holy Spirit is leading us to do and say? And I believe, Steve, more than anything else, if
206
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:57,760
somebody gets radically saved and they get filled with the Spirit, if there's something wrong with
207
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,200
the issues they're supporting and the politicians that they want to see in office, the Holy Spirit's
208
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,000
going to begin to work on that in ways that we honestly never could. And he's going to make more
209
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,560
of a change in their heart than we ever could. So my encouragement to every person listening would be,
210
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,840
let the Holy Spirit examine your heart this year and say, Holy Spirit, am I sharing the good news
211
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,880
or am I just sharing some good news? Which one is the priority? And that's not to say that we can't
212
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:28,160
stand up for freedom. That's not to say we can't stand up for biblical values in the government.
213
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,440
I absolutely believe that we should be doing that, but we should be doing that within the context of
214
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,440
my first and highest priority is to share Jesus with people who need him.
215
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Well, I agree with you 100%. And I think what you're saying is so important that I wanted to use my
216
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:50,320
platform to give you an opportunity to say it. And you also told me before we started that God told
217
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,720
you he's still working and he has an assignment for us as we fight for biblical values in this nation.
218
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,160
And I'd like to ask you if you would elaborate on that.
219
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Well, that assignment looks different for every single Christian, you know, but the first thing we
220
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,080
need to do when it comes to the election, it comes to the biblical values and everything, we need to
221
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,640
pray and say, Holy Spirit, who do you want me to vote for? Number one, Holy Spirit, what other
222
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,440
practical steps do you want me to take? You know, I had to do that in 2016, Steve. And to be honest,
223
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,680
I've shared this on my platform recently. I wasn't going to vote for Donald Trump if I was just
224
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,920
thinking from my natural perspective, because I had all these questions in mind. And I obviously
225
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,560
wasn't going to vote for Hillary either, but my thought was, do I not vote or do I vote for a
226
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,880
third party? Like who do, what do I do here? And I prayed and the Holy Spirit said, I want you to
227
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,680
vote for Donald Trump. And I said, okay, all my questions will be answered later. I just have to
228
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,320
be obedient. So as Christians, we need to be obedient to what the Holy Spirit is asking us
229
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,720
to do. And the only way to do that is to actually go into our prayer closet or the car or wherever
230
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,040
we meet with the Lord, you know, on our way to work, turn the worship music on and just, or
231
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,720
whatever, you know, whatever works for you, but just say, Holy Spirit, what are you saying to me
232
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,800
for this season? Do you have a practical step? And if He doesn't give you something specifically
233
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,680
practical, we've already got steps to take in the word and we need to make sure we're at first off,
234
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,400
we're handling that, right? And the good news is God's grace is available. If we're missing
235
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,680
something, you know, or we're off or the Holy Spirit has to correct something, His grace is
236
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,320
available and we don't have to be condemned by that. We don't have to be ashamed of that,
237
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,560
but instead we can make that correction under the leading of the Holy Spirit and through the love
238
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:33,360
of Christ. You know, there's a lot of things in the news about how people who hold to conservative
239
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,280
values and certainly biblical values are actually persecuted. Now they lose their jobs. I mean,
240
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,680
there's a movie coming out called Average Joe in which a coach was actually fired because he knelt
241
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:52,320
in prayer. Yet other football players were taking a knee to show disrespect to the national anthem.
242
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,440
And there's many, many examples, you know, this is pride month and there was a man who was going to
243
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:05,040
be fired because he wouldn't raise the pride flag. Do you think that more, do you think we can expect
244
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,800
more of this in the future? What is the Lord saying about that?
245
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,440
Yes, Steve. So I don't have time to read the word right now that I heard, but I did recently hear
246
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,960
a word about persecution coming to Christians specifically in this nation, especially during
247
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,600
ramping up in the fall of this year. So I will be sharing that word at a later date, obviously not
248
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,560
right now, but that's not something we need to be afraid of. I mean, Jesus says, hey, you're blessed
249
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,680
when you're persecuted, but it is something we need to be aware of. And when the persecution comes,
250
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,880
number one, God can work all things for good to those who love Him or called according to His
251
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,400
purposes. So if I have to lose my job for saying yes to the Lord, yes to biblical values, I'm
252
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,560
standing up for what's right, then God's going to bring something better along at the right time.
253
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,160
Right. Or if I have to make a decision that makes me look like an idiot to the culture, I can do
254
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,280
that. And I can do that with a smile on my face, knowing that God's still in control and that I'm
255
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,200
technically blessed according to what Jesus said. So there is a level of sacrifice that it takes to
256
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,240
stand up for truth, to stand up for what's right, to stand up for the word of God in the
257
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,280
society and the culture we live in. But I'm here to tell you, no matter who you are, it's worth it.
258
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,760
That sacrifice is worth it because you're not making it alone. Jesus Christ is standing there
259
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,520
with you through the power of the Holy Spirit, just like the three men in the fiery furnace.
260
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,520
What do we see happen? They stand up for what's right. And they said, God is going to deliver us.
261
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,360
And even if He doesn't, we're still not going to bow. So they were not willing to compromise.
262
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:37,040
But what do we see happen right after that? There's a fourth man in the fire and Jesus,
263
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,680
His presence is with them like a fire. And Jesus is with them like a fire. And Jesus is
264
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,160
with them like never before. And that's what I believe we're going to see as a nation and
265
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,800
as Christians who live in this nation. We're going to see an outpouring of the glory of God.
266
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,600
And I mean that in a very practical way. I'm not talking about some a theoretical thing out there,
267
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,400
or some like, well, revival's coming sometime. No, I'm talking about in our personal lives,
268
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,800
we're going to see, we're going to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. We're going to sense the
269
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:12,000
nearness of the Holy Spirit. And we're going to be able to say, no, I have the peace of God about
270
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,160
this. And I don't have to be afraid of what the culture says. Even if I lose something in order
271
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,760
to be obedient, I would rather walk in the peace and the joy and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
272
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,640
Well, as we wrap up this short podcast, I want you to give the last word, but I also want you to
273
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,800
tell my audience how they can connect with you, how they can subscribe to your podcast. And if
274
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:40,320
they want to reach you, how do they do that? Yeah. So you can just search for Troy Black on
275
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,000
YouTube. I'm also on Facebook, Instagram, and I'm on Rumble now as well. But then on top of that,
276
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,560
you can go to TroyBlackVideos.com where you can actually find my prophecy archive.
277
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,160
So we've put up a list of predictive prophetic words I've shared over the last three or four
278
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,560
years. And we're showing the results. We're showing, hey, here's what I said. Here's what
279
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,000
happened. Here's the timeline I said was going to happen. And here's what happened within that
280
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,320
timeline so that people can go and they can read the words for themselves. They can examine it.
281
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,920
They can pray about it. They can make a judgment call themselves. So they don't just have to take
282
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,840
my word for it that I'm hearing from God, but they can look at it. And I believe when people
283
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,520
go look at that archive, they're going to see consistency and they're going to see accuracy as
284
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,200
well. But then on top of that, I'm also creating a film this year called The Outlier. And it's a
285
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,320
documentary film about Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. We're also going to be talking about
286
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,160
some of the things that happened after that. And so if you all want to watch the very short
287
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,280
teaser trailer on YouTube, just search for The Outlier teaser trailer and you should be able to
288
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,320
find that. Now, please note it is a teaser, so there's not a lot of content to it there yet.
289
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:50,320
We're going to be launching an official trailer at a later date, but that film is coming out this
290
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,080
year. And so if you want to follow that, go check out the teaser trailer on YouTube.
291
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,440
