Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:06

Okay, so the title of this video is God Showed Me an Assassination Attempt. Uh disclosure coming. Is this gonna like, is this disclosure about his Trump's assassination attempt or an assassination attempt because we're gonna learn about the reptilians or something? Okay, well, well, let's find out.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

Hey y'all, this is Freud. I've got a couple things to share from the Lord with you today. Uh, and then I've also got some scripture to read that I'm super excited about.

SPEAKER_04 0:40

Um, the Lord gave me a few words about um some of the things that are happening in what I believe is the prophetic movement, maybe more widely the charismatic movement, but then also Okay, I'm I gotta tell you, Trevor, I'm not sure I buy the whole idea like prophecy being God told me, because it's like I've some people say, like, I feel like God showed me, I feel like God said this, this is where I think God led me. I don't think those people are always prophesying, though.

SPEAKER_02 1:07

Does God does God talk to you though? Like personally, does God ever talk to you?

SPEAKER_04 1:12

Are you referring to the still small voice? Yeah, yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

So uh people like this are taking that and and just sharing it.

SPEAKER_04 1:25

Okay, so this is like they feel like God has spoken their head in their heart, as it were, and this is a message. Well, I mean, arguably every preacher does that, so they're calling that prophecy.

SPEAKER_02 1:41

So, Maria.

SPEAKER_04 1:44

This is this is a lot of slimy words. What I believe is a word of encouragement for you. Christian use here.

SPEAKER_00 1:51

And so I'm submitting this as prophecy. Some of this is words of knowledge, and encourage you uh to pray about it.

SPEAKER_04 1:57

Okay, well, hang on then. So, what's the difference between words of knowledge and prophecy then?

SPEAKER_02 2:03

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_04 2:04

I've never I thought words of knowledge would be like God speaking directly to you about a subject. Like, are words of knowledge like something knowing something about somebody that you couldn't know? Is it like a message from God? Is it I don't know what these terms mean?

SPEAKER_02 2:20

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I just it's all oh I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 2:26

Same thing. Okay, in my head, I understand prophecy being future. You're telling the future. Words of knowledge, I'm gonna say, is knowing unknowable things because God told you. So, you know, Facebook data mining. And then prophecy. Yeah, and then like God speaking to you would be like the way God typically speaks to people through the still small voice. Like that that's how I divide it up. But all right, let's see what he says.

SPEAKER_00 2:57

And ask the Lord for confirmation if you need it, but also to test it, we have a prophecy archive on my website, Troy Blackvideos.com, where we go through over I think 125 words that I've shared now and show the results of that. So if you're not familiar with that, it's available. Um but this is what I want to say before I just oh do tell.

SPEAKER_04 3:17

Should we look that up, Trevor?

SPEAKER_02 3:19

Look for his words of knowledge thing.

SPEAKER_04 3:22

Yeah, uh, yeah. Do we okay? Do we look that up? We'll save that for next week. I'm curious, but I do feel like, in fairness, we need to I tease the video, so we need to finish reacting to the video. But I I I want we're gonna check his record. Let's check his record. If he's got it archived, I'm super curious.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

So, all right. Jump into this word. It has to do with an assassination attempt and a disclosure that's coming, a cover-up. Um, but before I talk about that, I do want to say this. If there's anyone watching this, maybe you clicked on this video, you know, maybe you're watching live, maybe not. Um, maybe you've been in church your whole life, maybe you've never stepped foot in a church. But if you're watching this and you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, if you own a gun, you're probably gonna be interested in this right here.

SPEAKER_03 4:17

Hey, look, it's an ad. I'm not. You train from the comfort of your home to the city. I don't care. The cool thing is, right now. It's not gonna work. There's no recoil.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

I do not experience shooting your gun in your home.

SPEAKER_04 4:31

Yeah, that'd be a bad idea. And how's that supposed to help you? Like learning to shoot, isn't it? Of course, I suck at shooting, I've barely shot, but isn't part of the difficulty of learning to aim the recoil?

SPEAKER_02 4:42

Right. Instead of having a laser do it for you.

SPEAKER_04 4:45

Yeah, like what good is a laser? It's like uh, dude, like you have to learn to hold the gun steady, don't you? What do I know? Anyhow.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Bullets are bad. Entering into a real relationship with God through faith in what Jesus did for you on the cross, it is the most important decision you could ever make, but it's also the most wonderful decision you could ever make. It is it's the most wonderful gift that anyone could ever give you. God loves you so desperately, so deeply, that despite what you've done, despite how you've lived, despite what I've done and how I've lived, God loves us so much that he came to the earth as a man and as the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life, and then he took the punishment for our sins upon himself. He died on a cross for stuff that he didn't do, for stuff that we did. And he was perfect and he didn't deserve any of that. Yet he chose to take that punishment upon himself so that we wouldn't have to, because the the wages of sin is death. And in this case, we would have been, it would have been eternal separation from God. Yet because Jesus was willing to go through that, the gap between us and God, the the separation between us and God was removed for all those who choose to repent of their sin and believe in him, to turn away from sin and turn to Christ for salvation. So if that's you today, if you do not know Jesus, he loves you and he wants a real relationship with you. He's real, he's so real. The Holy Spirit is real. He wants to reveal your purpose to you, he wants to show you why he designed you the way you are, he wants to help to refine you, to change the things that are hurt about you that are hurting you, the things that are not part of his design. But he also wants to lead you into such a deep and and lasting love that it really doesn't matter. You know, after you begin to walk with Jesus and you're experiencing God's love through the power of the Holy Spirit, it really doesn't matter what anyone else does to you in a lot of ways. It really doesn't matter what happens in this life because the glory of knowing him and the the just the the deep weight of his love is so great. It's so worth going through anything and everything for that we have a hope in him, no matter what we walk through here, that nothing can ever take away. Romans 8 talks, it says, Who can separate us from the love of Christ? It's talking about an extremely deep but also very real love that we can know. The word says the Holy Spirit reveals the love of God to us in our hearts. He pours his love out into our hearts. That's real, and it's for you today. It's for me as well. And I need it just as much. I need I need God's forgiveness just as much. I need the grace of God just as much as anyone. But it's freely available, and it's to all those who choose to believe that Jesus died for them, Jesus died for you. And did he did that because God loves you. If that's you today, don't put that off, don't wait. It's such an important decision. And God wants you to know him, God wants you to walk with him and fellowship with him. And it's such a beautiful relationship that we get to enter when we choose to believe in Jesus. And if if that's you, I encourage you, just cry out to the Lord. I'm gonna I'm gonna say a prayer. I don't always do this, but the Lord's leading me to. If you need Jesus, I encourage you to pray with me. It's not a magical prayer, but it's something, it's you talking to God and you telling him that you want to choose to follow Christ and receive the free gift of salvation that he paid for and that he gave you on that cross. I want you to pray with me and say, Jesus, I thank you for dying for me. I choose to believe in you today. I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I choose to renounce those and turn away from them, and I turn to you for salvation, for freedom. I want you to say, Jesus, I believe that you died for me, but also that you rose again. Now you're seated at the right hand of the Father. Will you come into my life and begin to change me? Make me new. Say, Father, I ask for the Holy Spirit. I want a relationship with you that never goes away. I want to know that love that you have for me. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy Spirit. If that to you, if you prayed with me, would you let me know in the comments? It means a lot to me, but it also gives me an opportunity to pray for you, to celebrate along with you. But I also encourage you, if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you've not been water baptized.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

Uh yes, um, Calix, this is his latest video.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

So uh yeah, let's see if he gets into it here. I encourage you to read about that in scripture. You can look it up. What is water baptism in in the Bible? And you can read the verses, but it's such a good thing to make your salvation and and your decision to follow Christ a public thing and say, I'm I'm doing this. Like this, this is not just uh a a uh, you know, this is not just an a one one-time deal, like this is a lifestyle now. All right. And then also to be a part of a local congregation, whether that be a a traditional church or just a body of believers that's meeting together.

SPEAKER_04 10:27

Okay, so we're gonna go ahead a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

If you were conservative. So this is May 13th. This is what I heard. This is um some words of knowledge have to do with uh an assassination attempt, has to do with the disclosure coming, and then I want to share uh the encouragement that the Lord gave me as well. So I heard the files are finally coming out. The files are finally coming out, the cover-up, and then I heard the assassination attempt, the reason why, the reason behind it all is being uncovered. A great mystery solved in a day, a day of wonder and exploration. So the impression I got was not that this would be a great mystery that was being solved on the day, but it's referring to solved in the sense of it was known, but it's being disclosed, right? The day of disclosure is people are going, ah, I see what happened there. Then I heard the failure that launched an initiative to remove the standing presidential leader from office, a conspiracy long known by some, but not treated with much weight, not given much credibility. Then I heard a weight to carry a lot of things undone on the day it all comes out. And then I heard uh this, and the impression I got was that this would have uh something to do with the next month and a half around that timeline. Uh, and then I heard a conspiracy uncovered and made known for all to see. And then I got this impression um, or this reminder, and I believe it was from the Lord of like the JFK files, right? I know we saw, I think a lot of that stuff get dropped. Uh, and the impression was that uh there'd be at least an aspect of this that would be alluding to that or related to um that kind of situation. So I don't know, I don't know if the Lord's talking about more JFK stuff that's supposed to come out. I don't know if he's talking.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

What do you think so far, Trevor? I don't recall Brandon Biggs ever going, I don't know. I heard Brandon Biggs going, it's gonna be huge, and like talking it up, you know. I I I I I this is uh kind this is kind of specific. So everything's gonna get disclosed in a day. That's what I heard.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Yeah, I I think he's just listening to uh his you know inner monologue, like uh he's this is me speculating. He's probably in prayer, and yeah um he's listening to what he feels is that still small voice, uh huh. And he's probably writing it down in a journal. Yeah. A lot of people do. And so all he's doing is sharing his thoughts and what he interprets that to be.

SPEAKER_04 13:18

I'm trying to think back to because obviously I was like pretty big into Brandon Biggs until we started watching him, and I'm trying to compare the way Biggs was with this guy.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

So more about Brandon Biggs from my perspective.

SPEAKER_04 13:40

Yeah, I felt like he was very conceited.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

Yeah, Tori Black here is is trying to interpret it himself and then sharing it with the rest of us.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

So he's he's getting fragmented messages, and then he's saying, This is what I took, this is what I felt, that kind of so he's like delineating between the two.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

This is what it sounds like so far.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

I guess we need to take a step back here. So, you know, I've been under the impression that you're watching a lot of this, and for myself, it's like I've been kind of bemused by it, mostly because I went to ORU. I never really considered it a threat, but I've been getting in part because of Mike Winger's stuff, but also because of that Paula White Trump connection. I've been getting increasingly, I don't know if interested is the right word, perhaps concerned about it, feeling like there's a need to look into it, I guess. So, okay, so I'm kind of coming at this a lot more skeptical than I was whenever I first uh had to admit that Brandon Biggs was Biggs was full of it, because I don't like being wrong, so I'd rather be cynical, you know, cover my butt so I don't eat crow again.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

So personally, personally, I'm still trying to figure out okay, discernment.

SPEAKER_04 15:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

Who's right and who's wrong? That's I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 15:11

What typically happens, because I think a lot of the problem is we got we got some definition issues. We got a lot of Christianese. We don't know what prophecy means, we can't decide if it's telling the future or if it's words from God. We uh we're not exactly familiar with the process here because let's say like there's a lot of implications in this. So, for you know, for example, this guy, it sounds like he's getting fragmented thoughts, like you said, writing them in a journal, and then he's saying what he's heard, and then he's saying what he thinks it means. Yeah, now okay, is that the same thing as somebody getting up in front of the king and you know saying, You're gonna be fine, Nebuchadnezzar's gonna walk around the city, he's gonna be defeated, and all like you know, like what they did in Jeremiah. Is there a distinction between what they did in Jeremiah and what this guy's doing? It's like, hey, this is what I heard, this is what I think it means, but there's like a presupposition that it could be wrong. I I'm not I'm not getting the basically what I'm getting at is I'm not getting the same um the clickbait seems very Brandon Biggs-esque, but sitting here watching him, I think last week we really just looked at the clickbait. Yeah, like the clickbait titles, and we're like, this is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 16:29

When he opened up with you know, trying to lead people to Christ, I'm like, yeah, I like this guy.

SPEAKER_04 16:35

Well, I I hadn't seen that before. I appreciated it. I don't know if he always does that, but I appreciated it. Um, I didn't want to interrupt him. I felt that would be disrespectful.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

Um just me personally, I have not seen Brandon Biggs do a video like that.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

Well, I've never even seen Brandon Biggs say I don't know. Like, I was like, I don't know, maybe this is whatever. It's like Brandon Biggs is like, guys, the destruction is coming, you know. And uh it was, you know, after a while you start to figure out, oh, this guy's full of crap. He's basically listening to Jones and selling it as prophecy.

SPEAKER_02 17:06

So I I I actually so far actually do like this guy, Troy Black.

SPEAKER_04 17:14

Well, I just it seems like they've got their own kind of like practices. It's like like, for example, everybody has a prayer journal. When I was a kid, for example, you were told to have a prayer journal, you know, and you were told that you could hear from God. You were told that when you heard from God, it was the still small voice. And that was in Baptist circles. Now, you know, we weren't in charismatic, that was in Baptist circles. And so one of the practices that we had was you would you would, you know, whatever thoughts came to you while you were reading your Bible and praying, you would have a prayer journal and you would write that stuff down in a prayer journal. Then you go back and look and look at it. Yeah, and it seems like he's just reading his prayer journal out loud. Basically. Am I misunderstanding that? And they're calling it prophecy, though. Yes, yeah. I'm like, this is confusing because you're using terminology that Mike Winger and the guys would be like, well, that's outright blasphemy. But like you would arguably do this in a Sunday school study. Like if you were in a small group and you were wanting to like it to use the Christian terms, say, this is what God is doing with me, this is how God is working on me, or this is what God, I feel like God is where God is leading me, was a big terminology. And then they might read from their journal or something. Like this sounds like that. So it sounds like a completely different practice from what we've been seeing with these charismatics, but it's it's like it's got a different term. So I think there's like a definition, there's like some confusion and definitions here. What do you think? I don't know. I don't know. I that's that's the impression I'm getting. I'm like, this is this sounds like similar practices just being called different things and being done in front of a microphone instead of a small group.

SPEAKER_02 19:04

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 19:05

Yeah. Calix says for reels. So all right, we'll give this we'll give this another five minutes or so and we'll react a little further. And then maybe ten. I think ten would be right. Yeah. And uh then we'll we'll call it a night. But I'm not I'm gonna have to look we're gonna have to come back to this because we're getting stupid and I want to pay a little closer attention.

SPEAKER_00 19:35

So talking about stuff related to some of the attempts on President Trump's life, possibly, or maybe a different president altogether. Um, the Lord did not give me a specific name of the person he's talking about. Um, but we're gonna have to wait and see. He did give me obviously a timeline, a general timeline of when this is gonna be taking place. We're gonna have to wait and see what happens in that time frame. Um, and we do respond to these words like this um on the archive on my website, and so that's available. Um, but I did hear this earlier today. I was praying about this word, and I was just saying, Lord, is there anything else you want me to share? I heard a couple more things. I'm gonna go ahead and read those. I heard the phrase, there has been a weighty cover-up involved in all this, and I got this this impression that is uh that what is coming to light, an aspect of this um um that was covered up and censored is coming out into the open that and that people are gonna be mad about the cover-up aspect of it. Uh, and then I heard this phrase, the season of disclosure. The season of disclosure. And so the Lord asked me to talk about um where should you invest a hundred dollars today?

SPEAKER_01 20:44

Not in whatever you're advertising. Anyone who invests in Samuel from scripture.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

I actually had a conversation earlier today um that I believe was a good conversation. It wasn't necessarily a fun conversation, but we talked a little bit about Samuel uh and and Eli. But uh there's a prophet in the Bible named Samuel who starts out as a child, you know, he's a miracle baby essentially, because Hannah wanted a kid and prayed, you know, and Eli prophesies over her. It's interesting to see that he prophesies accurately over her when according to scripture, he wasn't really hearing the Lord very often. Or if he was, maybe he wasn't hearing him clearly. And so I want to pull this up uh because I believe this has to do with, and I got a word about the movement that we're in, whether that be the prophetic movement or the charismatic movement, and then also a word of encouragement for us today that I want to share and I want to submit to you as well. But this is 1 Samuel 3 1. It says, Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli, and the word of the Lord was rare in those days. There was no frequent vision. And so Eli is uh this this priest in the house of God, right? And and he's in in some way. The representation of God or the this mediator between God and the people, right? And yet the voice of God is not being heard frequently, right? And people are not getting visions the way that they once had, or you know, or the prophets are not getting visions the way they once had. And yet Eli does prophesy accurately in the case of Samuel. And I believe it had more to do with God's divine providence in that moment than it had to do with where Eli's heart was with God. And we see that because we see that Eli is, you know, over time, we see the pattern of him ignoring the sins of his sons. And you know, they were offering strange fire to the Lord, things that were not commanded. And we see that he doesn't rebuke, he doesn't stop them. And the same day that his sons are killed, he dies as well. And and God cut essentially cuts them off, right? And he says, Enough is enough, right? But I but the Lord is so patient and kind, and there was a long period of time there where the Lord was probably warning him, you know, and he wasn't accepting it. Um, and it's okay. I'll end on this thought.

SPEAKER_04 23:09

It's probably like I think one of the problems we're having is uh we're in a similar time, and we've like it's been a while since there's been like frequent visions and that sort of thing, and I think we've kind of forgotten what this stuff looks like, so there's a lot of confusion. Yeah, so I think that's part of the problem. Calic says, lol, hashtag ad. Indeed, they're amazing, and they're always totally relevant. So gosh.

SPEAKER_02 23:41

Like investing.

SPEAKER_04 23:43

Yeah. You know, I uh I gotta tell you, Trevor, the longer, the more time we spend on this, the more frustrated I get because it's like, man, I do not understand this. You've got a bunch of hokey people mixed in with stuff I've never seen before. Uh, we'll next week we'll look at his uh record and see whether or not it's accurate. I'm not getting the same sense of uh bravado, though. Like I said before, with Brandon Biggs, it after a while it became pretty pretty apparent he was full of it. So uh I don't know, we'll see. You know, this is just like what's first I think it's the first video we've actually looked at him.

SPEAKER_02 24:28

Yeah, this video uh it just seems more like he's just sharing what would be in his uh you know journal.

SPEAKER_04 24:39

This is gonna take a little bit. There's a lot of there's a lot of nonsense to wade through. I think we got, yeah, like I said, I think we got definitional problems, we've got a lot of can like tribalist contempt, you know. I think some of this is motivated by ah, them dirty Pentecostals and ah, them dead Baptists and blah blah blah. I think there's a lot of that we're gonna have to sift through too. And then as you were mentioning before, I think there might be some contention about whether or not women can even preach, and that might be clouding the Paula White issue as well. We'll see if anybody complains about that. So uh, so yeah. Caly says LOO. LOL. Yeah, boy, I better get off here before I make my make a fool out of myself again. So, okay, guys, we're gonna call it tonight. Calix, thanks for joining us, man. We really appreciate you. Thank you. And uh guys, we'll see you next time. Have a good night.
