Hey y'all. This is Troy Black.
So, I have some pro possibly difficult things to share today. Um, I'm just going to be doing whatever the Lord asked me to do. Uh, I've got a word about the United States, applying to the United States, and something that's going to be happening between states. Has to do with President Trump to an extent. Uh, I've also got a word I know the Lord's about to share with me that I haven't heard yet that has to do with the prophetic movement that's been happening almost every live stream lately. And then I also got a word about uh 1 Corinthians uh 13 and prophecy itself, the gift of prophecy and how love ought to work within the church.
Um, the Lord's asking me to bring this up first and I'm going to go ahead and do that. The Lord has been telling me that some of the things that are happening in the church right now, especially the charismatic church, uh there are some of those things he's he's going to be asking me to to mention and to talk about very openly in the days ahead. And I don't know why he's asking me to say that here and now, but that's what I believe he's asking me to share.
Um, there are some things going on that are not good. There are other things going on that are simply people that truly are following the Lord, that truly know the Lord, but they're making mistakes and there and I just hear the Lord saying they're seeking the approval of man, not the approval of God at the moment. And it it has caused them to fall into a trap of words. Instead of telling the full truth, they've only told half of it. It's a It's a partial truth that's been spoken. And I hear the Lord saying, "And that's what's gotten them into hot water. But I'm coming to bring the whole truth." The Lord saying, "This is what I'm doing in this hour." Not mixed. The Lord's saying, "My words ought to not be mixed with the words of man, the words of people."
Y'all, the gift of prophecy is so good. This is me speaking now, okay? This is not this is not prophecy right now. That was and I submitting that to you as a prophetic word. You pray about it. Please test it. That's what the word says. We we don't have to just accept something just because someone says it's prophecy. But we should not utterly reject prophecy. 1 Thessalonians 5. But we should test it. I encourage you to do that. But prophecy is such a an important gift for the church. It's too important for us to allow it to be misused, abused, mishandled, or neglected. It's too critical. It's too important. But it is not the most important thing. And it is not the allseeing eye. the I'm only saying it that way because the Lord is asking me. I hear the Holy Spirit saying that phrase. It's not the allseeing eye of the church. It's not at the top of the list. And unfortunately, some of us, we've used it that way or we've expected it to be that. And we've put prophecy in place of the scriptures of of actually reading the Bible and learning the written word. or we've put prophecy and the gifts of the spirit in place of the fruit that ought to be shining in our lives based on the presence and the power of God and the Holy Spirit leading us and convicting us and changing us.
This is what I heard May 2nd and then I'm going to jump into uh this is about Trump and it's about the United States and then I'm going to jump into this uh this chapter in the Bible and share anything else the Lord is asking me to share. Uh this is this is what I heard the Lord say. He said Trump is about to make a blunder moving states about and I just get this picture of like seeing the map of the United States. I just finished a puzzle. I doing a p like a 500 piece puzzle the last couple nights at my house. A lot of pieces moving around and I just see a picture of that, you know, where it's like taking things, not the states themselves, but taking things that are in a state and trying to move it to somewhere else that it's not meant to be. But then I heard making one state responsible for the dealings of another. Giving a responsibility to one that does not belong. Then I heard how does this work? Some will say, aren't states self-governed? And I know the Lord's not saying they're completely self-governed, right? But but he's saying some people are going to say they're going to attribute the authority uh to a state and then ask the question based on that. Then I heard he's about to quote unquote merge the two, create a rift within a state and a rift between one and another. And then I heard a fight for sovereignty, a fight to determine who is the better man. which one will win and wind up on top of the two. And then I heard time will tell. I believe he's talking about between two states or potentially two groups of states. It could be more than just two involved. Then I got this impression that uh at least part of this discussion uh and this rift will be related to um home ownership. And then I heard and then the the impression I got was even livestock. So maybe potentially like farmland or things like that uh in that industry. Um, but as as it relates to uh the individuals who who own the land or work work in that industry, then I heard the battle of the states, a battle between brothers. And then I heard you are going to watch these two states do battle, but the bigger fight will be what it takes to resolve the issue between them and the national government playing games on a national level. And then I heard a federal catastrophe. I do not believe he's talking about a literal battle here. I believe he's talking about that fight for uh for sovereignty or that fight for who has the authority in this case, who can make that decision, right? Uh and then and then the impression that I got was that Trump is not the only one that's going to be blamed for this, but he's going to have a hand in it. And then uh right before starting this, I heard the Lord say this. Um I'm sharing this to be I'm submitting this to be tested as well, and you can test it obviously by watching the news what what plays out. Um, but one of the things I heard is that this will have something to do with the Alabama debacle that is up and coming as well. And he said, "I will have you share that at a later date." And so the Lord mentioned something having to do with Alabama. Now, I don't believe necessarily the Lord saying that these two main states, these two main groups, that Alabama is part of that necessarily. I don't think he's necessarily saying that, but he is saying it will have something to do with what's going to be happening in Alabama. Um, and obviously that's something that I'm going to be sharing soon as well. Um, and so that's what I heard.
Uh, I'm going to stop and pray before I move into this next part. Um, Holy Spirit, I just thank you for the gift of prophecy. I thank you that it's for the church. It's for our edification, our consolation, our encouragement. It is meant to build us up. Lord, I ask that you would help us as your people to walk in purity, to walk in integrity, and to not try to use the gifts of the spirit, not try to manage what you've given us or what you're allowing us to do in order to put our best foot forward and to get accolades or approval from people, but rather that we'd be working for the good of the body. that we'd be doing everything just for your sake, your name's sake, Jesus, and the sake of the gospel, the sake of people coming home and knowing you as their personal Lord and Savior. Lord, I ask that you give us a heart for the lost and for the seeing the church healthy and strong and equipped and mature in Christ. Lord, I ask you help us to lay down our idols, our selfish ambition, the vanity, the pride. Help us to let go of the things from last season that you do not want us to carry into the next. Lord, the things that have been slowing us down, the things that have been encumbering us. Holy Spirit, help us to give you room to fight for us, to do battle for us, help us to give you room to correct us when necessary because we know that you discipline those you love, Jesus.
So, this is um this is the passage the Lord pointed me to. It's 1 Corinthians uh 14 and then 13. I'm going to pull this up. This is 1 Corinthians 14:1. Uh title there is prophecy a superior gift. So is prophecy very important? Yes, absolutely. And we ought to be uh desiring it. It says, "Pursue love yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." So the word is is commanding us here as the new covenant church to earnestly desire to prophesy. Now that does not mean that you have to check that box in order to be a mature believer. That doesn't mean that. But it's talking to us I believe individually in many cases but also collectively that we would earnestly desire to prophesy. That means that our hearts are not lined up with the will of the world or our own will, but rather our hearts have lined up with God's will. And we're walking in step with his his ways and his thoughts because his ways his thoughts are higher than our own. And you know that is what prophecy does is it it pulls our hearts back to the heart of the Lord.
Hey Julian, how are you buddy? Did you graduate today? Good job. Julian, our four-year-old, uh, graduated from kindergarten today and they did a whole big thing and I was like, uh, it was funny because they played like the graduation music, you know, like the D, whatever it's called. And, uh, I was thinking, man, they've worked so hard and long to get to this point, you know, and it was it's just funny because they're in kindergarten. They they didn't work very hard, but anyways, it was funny. Uh, it was super cute.
Um, but this is this is the chapter right before. So this this actually leads up into what we just read and this is what I sense the holy I wanted to talk about something completely different today. And this is what the Lord asked me to to talk about. So that's why I'm I'm saying it. It says if I speak with the tongues of mankind and of angels talking about praying in tongues or heavenly prayer language, right? That is the context. But do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. So he's saying it's actually not going to do me any good if I have the gifts of the spirit like speaking in tongues or prophecy, but I don't have love. I'm going to be making noise but not make not bearing fruit. And this is what we unfortunately have let go of and lost sight of to an extent in parts of the church. And I I'm just going to throw it out there. In parts of I believe each of our own hearts, there is room for improvement when it comes to this. when it comes to encounters with God, the gifts of the spirit, what's coming next, God, what's happening in the world today versus Lord, is there anything you're wanting to change in my heart? Which one have we put as the priority in our lives?
And then verse two, if I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, it's he's not talking about false prophecy. He's not talking about fake prophecy. He's talking about real prophet. He's talking about actually hearing from God about everything. That's what he's saying. He's saying even if I was in that space, if God was speaking to me about every little thing, all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to move remove mountains. So he's saying he he's even saying if I was in that space where I had the gift of faith to such a great extent that there was nothing standing in my way. Everything would move when I would speak. Jesus said, you know, tell this mountain be uprooted and planted seed or this this malleberry tree and it's it will do it will it will happen. That's the gift of faith. That's an incredible gift of faith there, right? But even Jesus said that level of faith like all you need is a mustard seed. It's not a lot, right? And then you know he says when when the son of man returns, will he find faith on the earth? You know, so that is a question for us and that is important. Speaking in tongues is important. The gift of prophecy is important. The gift of faith is important. But what is Paul trying to say here? He says but he says even if I have that but I do not have love, I am nothing. He's saying if I have these things and I've missed love, I've missed everything. He's not talking about the worldly kind of love that not talking about kindness. You know, kindness is a fruit of the spirit, too. But that's not what he's talking about. He's talking about real love. And real love comes with truth. Real real we speak truth in love, right? Real love comes with correction at times. Real love comes with those who know what is right and do not do it, to them it is sin. Real love comes with is this right? And if not, I'm going to change. Is this right? And if not, I'm going to say something as the Lord leads.
Well, look what he says. And if I give away all my possessions to charity, and if I surrender my body so that I may glory, but do not have love, it does me no good. So now he's saying even if I He has the gift of giving and he gives everything. That is a superior gift of giving when you're giving everything to charity and or and some translations say to the poor. And if I surrender my body so I may go. He's saying even if he makes the biggest sacrifice martodom but I don't have love. He's saying it does me no good. This is not what we are being taught in general in the charismatic church. And I'm not saying people are outright teaching against this. But what is the emphasis on? Where's the emphasis? Is it on Christ and his finished work and what that has done for me right now here and now and what God has called me to do out of that with things like the gift of prophecy, speaking in tongues, the gift of faith. these kind of things being tools that God has given me to fulfill that calling and to walk with him in maturity or has it been have we made it all about these things the tools because what's happening in some spaces is we're using the tools that God gives to justify somebody's lifestyle and their actions and their behavior instead of looking at the character first and then allowing the tools to be an extra.
This is verse four. Love is patient. Love is kind. It is not jealous. Love does not brag. It is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully. It does not seek its own benefit. It is not provoked. It does not keep an account of wrong suffered. It does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. I want to stop right here and say there is also a movement, unfortunately, to always correct and always speak the truth on the other side. But it's lacking love to an extent. Not saying everybody there, but there this is where we ought to be is I'm going to I'm going to speak the truth. Yes, I'm going to hold myself to a a place of accountability. I'm hold the body to a place of accountability, but I'm going to do it with actual love. I'm not going to do this out of jealousy. I'm not going to brag about it. I'm not going to be arrogant. I'm not going to do it disgracefully. and and and unfortunately there is a movement now in the church that has seen some of the evil that's taken place in the charismatic u leadership in some cases not everybody but the response to that has been okay now we have to hold everybody's feet to the fire but we're going to do it in a way that is jealous that is arrogant that's acting disgracefully and it's justifying those things in order for the truth or for exposure to happen but we can do both like we don't it doesn't have to be one or the other. We can speak the truth but we can do it in love and we should not shy away from the truth. But we should also not forget that the fruit of the spirit is love. It starts with love. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. That's that's a that's a broken and contrite heart. That's what that is like. It is the only way to stay in that place is I'm broken. I'm I'm broken and God's taking over because you I'll just be honest on my own. If it's just me, I'm not patient. I'm not kind. I'm jealous. I'm bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra braggadocious. I'm arrogant. I act disgracefully. That's me. Like without him, that's all of us without him.
Verse seven says, It keeps every confidence. It believes all things. It hopes all things. It endures all things. So I'm actually hope am I actually hoping for the best for that person? Yes. Even as I'm bringing correction if necessary or whatever is happening, am I hoping for the best for them or am I hoping that something evil would take place? That's not love, right? Love is I'm I'm I am going to Right here it says rejoices with the truth. I'm going to rejoice with the truth. I'm going to speak the truth, but I'm not going to hope for that person's demise. I'm going to hope and pray for redemption to happen because that's God's heart. His story is a God has a redemptive plan for every single human being, every single one of us. It says love never fails, but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with. So someday we're going to be with Jesus and guess what? No one's going to have to prophesy anymore. But love is not going to go away because he is love. It says if there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we know in part, I believe he is talking about the gift of knowledge there. I could be wrong about that though. For if we know in part and prophesy in part, but when the perfect, sorry, for we know in part and prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. This talking about the return of Christ, Jesus's second coming is the end of this age. It's the end of this earth, this heaven, and this earth. He's going to make all things new. Yes, I know about the thousand-y year reign and all that, but it's the be it's it's all of those events taking place, but it says the partial will be done away with. So, there are things that God has given us to use now, like the gifts of the spirit that are partial, but they're not the full. But the perfect involves the love of Christ coming into our hearts and changing us from the inside out.
when I was a child. And and man, this is just the encouragement I'm hearing from the Holy Spirit right now. The Lord I just hear the Lord saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you, my bride." But I'm asking you to look inside. What is the question I'm asking your heart today? Not the heart of another. Not those in ministry around you. Not the ones that you've looked at and you said, "Lord, what about them? What about what they're doing?" The Lord, I hear the Lord saying, "I'm asking you to examine your own heart today." And he's saying that to me, too. And so I'm we there's so much drama. There's so many things happening all around. It's so easy to get so caught up in well they should have and they should and should we speak truth? Yes. Do we hold people accountable? Yes. In the right way, in a biblical way. But we ought to be praying first what the psalmist prayed. Lord, examine my heart. Search my heart, oh God. See if there's any wicked way in me. Lead me in the way everlasting. And that is a act of his love. That is that is a that is resting in his love. And that's really what happens is it's his loving kindness that leads us to repentance. And in that moment, the Lord's his loving kindness comes in. He says, "Hey, here's where you're at, but I love you too much to leave you there, and I'm going to bring you over here." It says, "When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man, I did away with childish things. For we now see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face, now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, but the greatest of these is love."
You know, what did Jesus say? He he said, uh, you know, the the these rulers, they they lord it over you, but he said, "But the greatest of you will be your your servant. He'll be a servant. So, we are looking at the childish things and thinking those are mature. Those are the mature things. But it needs to be flip-flopped for some of us today. We need we need to flip it on its head. And and the truly mature things are the things that sometimes a child come more natural to a child.
This is Romans 4. It says, uh, "What then shall we say that Abraham our forefather according uh that Abraham our forefather according to the flesh has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God." This is this is the word I'm hearing um right now. It it's that much of the church is looking at the own their own works that they have accomplished. They're asking me this question. Lord, look at what I've done. Is this not enough for you to bless me and take me to the next level? And I hear the Lord saying, I'm asking them back. I've not asked you to do these things through your in your own strength or or with your own means or for your own sake. I hear the Lord saying, I've simply asked you to respond to my love, acting on your behalf. And I hear the Lord saying, when you respond in faith, I'm going to do the work through you. And there's not going to be any room to boast. The only boasting that's needed is boasting. I hear the Lord saying about what my son has done for you. That's it. And I think this is where we get off basis sometimes. We start exalting the gifts or we start exalting the works and the accomplishments or the position and it leads to an unhealthy honor culture. It leads to some of the unhealthy things that we've seen. It leads to cover up culture. It leads to the things where it's got it's all about the man or woman of God instead of about God and what God is doing. I just hear the Lord saying, "I'm stripping it to its core." Yes, it goes all the way down and it needs to. I hear the Lord saying, "It's time to make it about love again. It's time to make it about my gospel message going forth.
This is verse three. For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God and it was credited to credited to him as righteousness. Now to the one who works the wages are not credited as a favor but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, do you see that? One who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness. So, it's easy for us to start thinking, look at how God has gifted them or look at how God has exalted them or positioned them and to start playing the comparison game and saying they must have a better relationship with God than I do. They must be better than I am. They must have worked harder. They must have impressed God more. they are more deserving of what they have than I am or they are more deserving to be protected than I am or to we've got to overlook things right whatever it may be but that is not the case God does not show any partiality he's saying the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly his faith is credited as righteousness in the kingdom God flips it flips it on its head flips it on its head it's about believing in what Jesus has is about becoming a servant. He said the greatest among you will be your servant. It's about love allowing the love of Christ to change us in our hearts and then allowing that to overflow out of us and loving God and then loving other people. I just hear the Lord saying that's all I want you to do. It says, "But to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness." Just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works. Apart from works, it's not about what you or I have done. It's about what Jesus has done for us. And this is what fixes the the lack of balance, right? when we when when certain things have been lifted or exalted above the place they ought to be. This fixes that is looking at the cross and is letting allowing Jesus's sacrifice to melt our hearts again and saying, "Lord, if there is any part of my life that's not in line with your will or is not in line with your word, will you change it?" And I'm humbling myself right now and I'm submitting myself to you. I don't want the blessing apart from your will. I don't want a promised land apart from the one who is the promised land, which is Christ. and his nearness and his presence in my life. You know, just like Moses said, "Lord, we're not going to go if your presence doesn't go with us. We don't want to go." Peter said to Jesus, he said, "Lord, where when Jesus said, are you going to leave, too?" He said, "Where else will we go? You have the words of life.
Jesus warned that in the last days there would be those saying, "Look over here. Christ has come back." And he and he says, "Do not go out in the wilderness looking for for me." He says, "Don't go." When they tell you Christ is out there or Christ is over here, he says, "Don't believe them." What is he describing? He's describing people that exalted revival and encounters above the presence of God and the truth of the word. They were so focused on we have to be at the next revival. We have to be at the next mighty move of God that they allowed themselves to be deceived by something that was not from God. And it wasn't about God in them. It wasn't about finding God. It was about finding that next revival or finding the next encounter. Well, I'm right in the middle of what God is doing in the earth today. What if God has not asked you to be right in the middle of a global movement? What if he's what if he's asked you to go to the sick and to the poor? You know, like like that's a question I have to ask myself. What if God tells me you're not allowed to be on YouTube anymore? You're not allowed to be online anymore. What if he says, "I want you to shut it down." Am I willing to do that? Like, we all have to answer those questions. Am I willing to say yes, Lord? Where do you want me to be?
The verse 7 says, "Blessed are those who whose lawless deeds have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account." Is this blessing then on the circumcised or the uncircumcised? Also, he's saying the ones that had the symbol of obeying the law of God versus the ones that did not have that. They didn't have that stamp of approval from man. He's saying who's the blessing on it's for it's for everybody who believes saying what is it saying you don't have to fight for the stamp of approval from people all you need is God's approval and how do you get that so your life is based on the cornerstone which is Christ for we say faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness how then was it accredited while he was circumcised or uncircumcised not while circumcised but while uncircumcised and he received the sign of circumcision a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised that that righteousness might be credited to them.
Man, this is the gift right here. That's it. That's the reward. That's the highest calling. And and that is something that we receive by faith. It's righteousness. It's it's God has forgiven me and he wants a relationship with me and he he's drawn me into his family and he's never going to leave me alone. Like that's the goal and we have that in Christ. And anything that pulls us out of that or away from that is not worth pursuing. It's not worth even accepting. It says, "And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had while uncircumcised." I hear the Lord saying, "I'm going to be asking some of those within the charismatic church in the coming days to step away from some of the things that they have supported in the past." And this is going to feel like to some of those around you like you are failing them. It's going to feel like to some of those in the movement like you've betrayed certain individuals that you were supposed to hold up. Man, y'all pray about this, but I'm just sharing what I'm hearing. But I hear the Lord saying, "But I'm I'm calling you out of that to an extent, and I'm asking you to walk by faith. I know it's a difficult road to walk, but this is what I'm asking you to do. I hear the Lord saying, "You don't have to be led by what others say online. You get to be led by me, my spirit." Reading the word, sitting in prayer, the Lord saying, "That's where I want to speak to you." And I hear the Lord saying, "Because you're my friend. Because I know you." He's talking to every single person that's believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I don't believe the Lord is saying we all have to leave the charismatic movement. I don't think that's what he's talking about, but this word is going to apply differently to every individual. I believe there are some things that he wants to change.
This is verse 13. For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. It's not a checklist. It's not a box. There's not an approval. Like the Pharisees had the approval of all the people. Jesus even said they stand on the street corners and pray loud long lengthy prayers. He says they have their reward in full. They were doing that for man's sake. They weren't doing they weren't talking to God. They weren't talking with God. They were they were putting a show on for people. That's not what the Lord is after. That's not his heart.
This is verse 23. It says this. All of this applies to us. Paul's not just writing to uh the Romans. This applies to us. Look now, not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also to whom it will be credited to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. That's every single person that's believed in Christ. This applies to. And this is good news today. This is really good news.
Um, the Lord's telling me to bring this up and then I'm going to jump off. This is the last thing. If you've not seen this video, I'm going to put it up on the screen. I'm not going to say the name right now, but the Lord is asking me, he he's reminding me that I am going to have to say it at some point. This is a video I shared a little over two months between two and three months ago. Uh, about two and a half, I think. God warned me this big ministry will fall prophetic word. And then on the thumbnail, I saw her removed. If you haven't gone and rewatched this video, um that's I believe that's why the Lord is reminding me of this. I'm going to have to talk about this at some point. I don't want to. It's very sad what happened. It's not uh it's not it's not exciting. It's not fun. The Lord had a better plan. And I believe based on this that that is true that that he really did. He had a redemptive plan and it did not go the way that he wanted it to. Because the Lord allows us to make decisions, his people. He allows us to decide if we're going to respond to his correction or not. If we're going to respond to the leading, the gentle, loving kindness and leading of the Holy Spirit or not. And the Lord is very gracious. He gives us he gives us chance after chance. And and he's very kind. The Lord's telling me that's all he wants me to say today.
So, I'm going to stop there. Um, again, I do want to say thank you. Me and my my wife and our family, we've been going through some really hard stuff the last couple of weeks. You're going to know more about that by the end of this week about what's been going on. Um, I've not been allowed to publicly talk about everything yet. Um, you're going to know more soon. Um, but you do know about some of the things if you've been watching my videos. We did get a new van yesterday. Not new, it was used, but we got another van yesterday that has enough seats for our kids. And I'm super excited that uh my parents allowed us to borrow a 12 passenger van that they have, and it's been amazing. I'm very grateful that we had something we could use temporarily um after ours broke down, but then um I'm I'm done driving that thing. It's very difficult to drive that thing. It's huge. And so, we got a normal minivan size and I'm I'm just excited that, you know, we've got kind of gotten through that stage. And I just want to say thank you to everyone that's been praying for that situation, but also my wife, you know, and her health and she's actually um she's not 100%, but she is um she's on her way and she's doing a lot better than she was. So, I just want to say thank you for praying for her um for all the support. We deeply deeply appreciate that. And um y'all keep us in your prayers. If the Lord brings us to your mind, you know, keep praying. Keep praying because it's it's working. The Lord definitely is working um through all of this and he has us uh in his hands. Um um but we're still we still got some hurdles to jump uh you know, and so um we're trying to be obedient uh to the best of our ability and we're not perfect, but but we're trying to to take that next step in faith and do what the Lord is leading us to do. So definitely appreciate y'all. Y'all are awesome. Thank you so much um for all the encouraging comments. Um, even if I don't get a chance to respond, I try to read as many as I can um on a good week. There are some weeks where I have to I do have to turn the comments off and not look at them, you know, but but um when I can read the comments, I'm very deeply appreciative for all the encouragement. So, thank you so much and I hope youall have a wonderful rest of your day and I'll see you next time.
