God Gave Me a Dream about Obama. Prophetic Warning.

Hey y'all, this is Troy Black. So I actually had a dream about former President Barack Obama that the Holy Spirit asked me to share, and then yesterday I actually got a word from the Lord about Obama, and I also got a word today about him as well while I was going to the store. So a couple quick updates, announcements. My new book, Mystery of the New Babylon, is going to be out pretty soon, I think a week from now, February 3rd. Super excited about that. Also, my first live event through Tree Life Ministries is coming up this Saturday night, January 31st. It's going to be a one-night event. You can find out information about that at TroyBlack.org if you want to attend. Okay, so I'm going to jump right into this. I had this dream on, I believe, probably January 25th. I actually didn't write it down until last night when I started to hear this word about Obama, and the Lord asked me to share the dream. And so, it's very strange. I'm just going to give you the gist of the dream, and then I'll share the word. But in the dream, I was in a room, and I don't know if I was being interviewed or interviewing or something, but I was talking. I was sitting in a chair, and across from me was sitting Barack Obama and then another man that I didn't know who he was, and a friend or colleague of him or somebody, and I didn't recognize him. And so I'm sitting there, and we're talking, and I start talking about Jesus. I start talking about the gospel. I start talking about God's plan for not just America, but His plan for the world, and that He wants people to get saved. And then I start specifically talking about what Jesus did for us in the dream. And I had this impression in the dream, or this knowledge, that somebody had set up this meeting, right? And it was some sort of publicity stunt or something like that. There was some benefit of them being there and listening to this outside of them just hearing the word, right? And so there was an ulterior motive for them sitting there and listening. And as they're listening, as soon as I start talking about what Jesus actually did on the cross in the dream, Obama gets this very wide smile on his face and doesn't react by saying anything, but he smiles real big, and suddenly I see his eyes change, essentially, and I could tell that in the dream he was possessed, and that this was like a manifestation, and it was a reaction to talking about Jesus. And so that's the dream I had. I don't have a full interpretation of it, but the Lord asked me to share that along with a word that I got. And so the word I got last night, and then I believe this is going to come together because the Lord has also asked me to share a few different other things as well, and to respond to, at least briefly, to something that I haven't watched the original video, but I've seen it making the rounds, something that Brandon Briggs shared about Trump recently as well. So the Lord asked me to simply say one thing about it, and I'm But this is what I heard January 27th. I heard him talking about Obama. I heard the Lord say his sudden quote-unquote demise will come because he is too focused on what he is doing and not enough upon all that is going on around him, all that is transpiring between those on his side and those in the middle. And then I heard a sudden stop to the madness will take place. And then I heard Caught in a lie that has been spun years ago and is just now coming undone. Lying to the public about who he really is and what he is really about. And so the Lord asked me to pray for something very specific, and you might be shocked that I'm even praying for this, but I'm trying to be obedient to what the Lord's asking me to do. And this is going to play into the message the Lord gave me later and what he said about Obama earlier today while I was going to the store. Okay, so this is the Lord said. He said, I want you to pray for his repentance to take place, that he would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So I'm going to stop and I'm going to pray right now, whether you agree with that or not. My hope is that you'll pray along with me. And there are a few things I need to say about this afterwards, but I'm going to go ahead and stop and pray. So Holy Spirit, I just thank you that you still speak to your people today. Acts chapter 2 says that the old men will dream dreams, young men will see visions, but you also talk about men and women, Lord. It's not a gender thing. It's not a class thing in the church. It has nothing to do with our positions or our role. There's everything to do with us being your kids, Lord. And you've poured your spirit out upon us, your people, Lord. And so I just ask for greater measures of awareness of what you're doing, Holy Spirit, in our lives individually, but also in the corporate, the body of Christ church as well. And so, Holy Spirit, I just thank you for your presence. I thank you for your words today. Lord, I ask that if anyone needs confirmation that these words are from you, that you would give it, that they wouldn't be questioning or wondering or confused, Lord, but that they would receive the confirmation they need, whether that be one way or the other, Lord. Anything that's not from you, I ask that you would just deny that for those listening, but anything that is from you, that you would confirm it, Holy Spirit, and that we would be able to test prophecy with the word as well. But God, I also pray for former President Barack Obama, Lord, I pray for his repentance to take place, that he would repent of any sin in his life, and that he would come to know you as his Lord and Savior, that he would acknowledge who Jesus Christ truly is, the Son of God and man who came to the earth, lived a perfect life, and died for the sins of the world, taking the punishment we deserved upon himself, that we would not have to be separated from God for eternity, so that we would not have to go to hell, but so that we could be with you, Father. And Lord Jesus, I just thank you for the leaders whose hearts you are touching, you are changing, you're turning around. Lord, and I ask that if there's any way for his heart to change, I ask that you would do it, Lord. And even for those in his circle, those around him, God, I ask that a powerful move of the Holy Spirit, and that the love of Christ would be released in hearts, Lord, in his circles, God, for anyone that needs it, Lord, that they would come to know the truth, Lord, that they would be faced with the reality of mortality and the depravity of sin, the destruction that awaits those who die in sin, Lord. And I just ask that they would come to know the truth, and they would accept it, and they would receive the free gift of salvation that Jesus has won for us on the cross. And I just thank you for the freedom that's found in accepting that truth and that grace, and the message of the gospel that you've asked us to proclaim, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Okay, so I'm going to explain why I'm praying for him to repent in a few minutes, because I know some people are going to be potentially upset about that. But the Lord said, he asked me to talk about King Saul, and I'm going to talk about Trump here in a second, but the Lord talked about, he was talking to me about how Saul lost his anointing, right? But, and the Spirit of God left him, right? And then God even sent an evil spirit to torment him, right? And it's very interesting to think about God doing that, or allowing that to happen, however you would view that. But this is what was happening in the Old Testament, is we see God anointing leaders like David, and then David being anointed. The Word never says that the Spirit of God left him. Now, he made some big, critical errors, some big, critical, terrible sins and mistakes in his life, and some of them willful sins that were just atrocious, right? But God forgave him, and sometimes he had to walk through the effects of that sin, the real consequences of his decisions, right? But then you see other leaders like Saul, who, Saul was anointed by God, right? The prophet Samuel anointed him to be king, and yet, even though he still retained the position of anointing, he lost the Spirit of God, right? And this can apply to leaders in the church right now, too, right? I mean, it's not, just because someone hasn't lost their ministry funds or their platform does not mean the Spirit of God is still okay in what they're doing, right? And so, we have to be aware of that, you know, but also, at the same time, we have to be able to show grace and be led by the Holy Spirit and not, you know, not be, we have to follow the biblical requirements of, you know, when it comes to elders and leadership in the church in the New Testament. But getting back to, you know, leaders in the world, you also see, so you have a, you see, basically, it's a varied anointings taking place, because you also see people like the king of Babylon, who Isaiah prophetically refers, you know, prophesies about the king of Babylon, and also, it's simultaneously a prophecy about Satan. So, in a sense, he's compared to Satan, right? And it's like, wow, that's pretty harsh. Yet, who was the one that caused Babylon to be able to overtake the Israelites and to bring them into captivity? Well, it was God. So, God was using his anointed servant, David. He was using his anointed servant, Saul, who lost his anointing, you know, in some senses. He also used another servant, the king of Babylon, and the kings of Assyria. You know, you see all these different people that God is using, and yet, God brings, you know, Assyria comes in, and Babylon comes in, and punishes Israel for God, you know, because God tells them to, or not tells them to, but he leads them to, right? And then, after that, you see in the Old Testament that God, the prophets talk about how now God's going to punish them for punishing Israel, and it's like, well, they were just doing what you told them to do, right? You know, but what you see is you see a varied usage, you know, and degree of God's hand on these leaders. Yet, this is what Romans 13 says. Romans 13 says, every person is to be subject to the There's no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. This is a great, you know, it's a great verse when somebody's saying, well, what about that leader you're supporting, and what the decisions they're making, and you can point to and be like, well, look, haha, you know, they've been established by God. It's not a great verse when it's somebody you don't like, right? Even as a Christian, it's like, well, they're doing things that are going against the Bible. They're passing laws that are unbiblical, right? But the word says there's no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. So God uses leaders in positions of authority for different reasons at different times, and he's got his reasons for doing that. And I heard the Lord say this on the 27th. He said, I still raise up leaders today, but not all of them are, quote, unquote, anointed in the same sense that Old Testament kings were. Some are anointed, but others are in a position to act as a catalyst meant to create a wake-up call to believers and to the world that something needs to change. So sometimes it is that the church has fallen asleep, absolutely. There are other times where we see a small picture of what's taking place, God's looking at the big picture, and he's looking at what needs to happen 15 years down the road, 25 years down the road. Sometimes the Lord's using it as a pendulum swing, right? He pushes it one direction, people wake up, and they go, wait a minute, and then the people of God swing it back the other direction. Now, does that mean that the devil's not using leaders? No, that's not what that means. The devil is absolutely—I mean, think about the kings of Babylon and Assyria. They were absolutely influenced by witchcraft, by the occult. They had all these astrologers and seers and diviners around them, the Chaldeans, who practiced witchcraft around them, telling them what to do and what the gods were saying, essentially, supposedly. So the devil was absolutely influencing those leaders, but God's also the one that plucks them up and says, now you're going to go over here and do this thing. And I think sometimes in the church, we lack subtlety, and we start to assume, well, because God said he anointed this person, that means I've got to support everything they do, right? Like, in the case of Trump, you may have—if you're a Trump supporter, you may have had somebody come to you, a Christian, and say, yeah, but how do you explain this decision he made? Isn't that not right, right? And then you have to make a decision. Now, do I wholeheartedly support everything he does because I believe God said he was anointed for this season, or do I get subtle with it and say, well, no, I don't support that, right? And I think we lack subtlety sometimes. And if we're not careful in the days ahead—and man, I sense this from the Holy Spirit right now, the Lord's asking me to say this—if we're not careful in the days ahead, it's going to get harder and harder to tell who the true believers are, because people are not going to want to be subtle. They're going to want to jump aboard a train, whether it be right or left, or somewhere in the middle. They're going to want to associate with the movement. I hear the Lord say, more than I'm calling my believers out of that mindset, out of that place of identity with a political movement. It's okay to use a title. It's okay to call yourself conservative or whatever. But the Lord is saying, but that's not what my word says that you are. That's not the identity I've placed on you. The Lord is saying this as a son, as a daughter of the King. You've been called to be identified with Christ and His suffering, His burial, His resurrection, and His life. He wants to live in you and through you now. Sometimes that means agreeing with the movement that's around you. Other times it means disagreeing, saying, I'm going to stand on the word no matter what. The Lord said this about, you know, He was talking to me about how the devil can obviously influence leaders and even use leaders. But the Lord said, He said, I can still circumvent His usage and use it for my good and my plan in the end. Talking about literally the people that the devil is influencing, God can take that and use it for good, right, ultimately. And I mean, that's what we see with Joseph. You know, like, God wasn't, Joseph's brothers were not filled with the Holy Spirit when they were trying to kill Joseph, right? But God used their decision. God knew what they were going to do. God used that. Joseph said, you meant it for evil, but God turned it around. He used it for good. So I got this impression I was supposed to talk about what Brandon Briggs said, you know, about Trump. I haven't watched his, I try, honestly, I try not to watch other prophetic voices online very often, especially those that are talking about current events, things like that. The reason being, because I don't want to be influenced by that. I don't want to hear something that someone else says and allow that to influence me. Instead, I just want to hear, what is the Holy Spirit saying? And I want to share that, you know, and as long as he's speaking to me about that kind of stuff and is asking me to share it, I'm going to keep doing that. You know, if he ever asked me to stop, I'm going to stop. But I've seen this video clip, like, Making the Rounds and some of the other channels that I do watch that are not sharing prophetic stuff, you know, and channels that talk about the word, that do talk about current events, I mean, current stuff happening in the church, that kind of stuff. And one of the things they talked about, and so correct me if I'm wrong, and forgive me if I'm wrong about this because I haven't watched the original video, but it did seem like he prophesied that it was likely that Trump was going to be assassinated, and that if it happened, it would be the church's fault. And this is what the Lord impressed on my heart to share about that, is that this, it's simply that some people are going to react to this word in a fear-based mindset, in the sense of, okay, I've got to pray or else Trump is going to die, right? And this is on me. And that's actually not, generally speaking, the New Testament, New Covenant mindset. And so what did Jesus say to the church when he left? He said, go into all the world and preach the good news, right? He didn't tell us that we needed to go hold back the principalities and the darkness, and you got to go to this country and pray for this, and you got to go that country and pray for that. Now, I'm not saying that God has never asked somebody who's hearing prophetically to do that, right? Yet, at the same time, what is the church actually supposed to be doing on the earth, and are we actually focused on that? And do we actually have the motivation that the New Testament talks about over and over and over again, or have we allowed what we've heard to start to veer us in another direction? And sometimes you can take even true prophetic words, even if a word is true, sometimes you can take that and interpret it incorrectly or respond to it incorrectly. So this was the simple thing, was the Lord asked me to talk about being motivated by the love of Christ versus being motivated by a spirit of legalism or fear. You can't make up for what the rest of the church is not doing. You're not meant to. I'm not meant to. The Lord is only placing on our shoulders what he's asked us to do. Jesus said, come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy, my burden is light. You'll find rest for your souls. He said, I'm gentle and humble in heart, and sometimes we allow a burden to be placed on our shoulders. I've got to be ultra spiritual. I've got to do enough to keep the church together, to keep America from falling apart, to keep Trump alive, whatever it may be. It's like whatever you feel, whatever burden you're feeling there, I hear the Holy Spirit saying enough is enough. Man, I just feel the weight of the Holy Spirit right now. The Lord's saying, I haven't asked my church to be God in my place. That's what many are trying to be. The Lord is saying, I've asked you to be willing vessels, to do the work of the Lord, whatever I've called you or asked you to do, individually and yes, corporately as a body as well. But the Lord is saying that my spirit does not work through intimidation, does not motivate you through fear or a heavy weight on your shoulders. The Lord is saying, let the weight fall off today. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. The Lord is saying my yoke is easy and my burden is light. The Lord is saying you can be free again. Walk by faith. Do not be motivated by a spirit of fear. Proverbs says, trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight. Thank you, Holy Spirit. I hear the Lord saying this, I want to remind you what I've asked you to do again. What is the yoke that I've placed on your shoulders? What have I actually asked you to do? The Lord's saying, read my word. Look at it through the lens of faith. I hear the Father's perspective. He's saying, look at it through the lens of what my son has done. He's either accomplished, finished the work on the cross or not. What do you believe about what he's done? Do you believe it's enough? Or do you believe that you're filling in the gaps somehow? The Lord is saying, I have anointed certain people in my body to pray for leaders. That is a special anointing. That's something I've commissioned and asked certain people to do. And that's okay. But the Lord is saying, but if that's not you, that's okay too. Just be obedient to what the word and what my spirit is asking you to do. And your first and most important task, the most vital thing that I've given you to do, is just preach the truth, the gospel. Preach the truth of the word. Tell others what I've done for them through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. You're going to be okay. There's a verse, I believe it's 2nd Corinthians, in 2nd Corinthians, talks about how the glory of the old covenant has faded and how the glory of the new covenant has far surpassed the glory of the old. And if we're not experiencing his glory, even when listening to prophecy or going to a spirit-filled church or whatever it may be, if we're not experiencing his glory in the sense that God is the one behind what's actually happening, God is showing up. And that can look a variety of different ways, you know, for different believers, right? But if it's just manufactured, if it's just church, it's just religion, it's not actually the Holy Spirit himself doing it. The reason may be that we're still trying to approach God through an old covenant mindset, an old covenant lens, and there's no glory there. The word says it's faded. In the new covenant, when we work, we were responding to Christ's work on the cross. It says we love because he first loved us. It also says the love of Christ compels us or controls us. So this actually leads into the next thing the Lord said to me earlier today. I went to the store to buy some snacks for some of the volunteers at the event that's coming up this weekend, and this is what the Lord said. I was driving on the way home and I had to talk, I had to do the whole speech record thing on my phone because I was driving, but I heard the Lord say this. He said about Obama, he said, Obama's about to go through a season of transition where he will run from one thing to the next, only to wind up making his way back again to where he started. And then I heard, I'm moving in greater ways upon the earth, and I'm raising up leaders for such a time as this. I must stop and say, when he says I'm moving in greater ways upon the earth, I believe he's talking about opening up doors for the gospel to go forth. And he said, I'm putting people into positions of power for certain reasons, not always the reason my body assumes it to be or the conservative movement. But then he said, but yes, Trump is where he is for a reason. You don't need to be afraid of that. You don't always have to understand the why behind what I do. And then the Lord told me specifically not to presume I know more than I do about this, and I'm trying not to do that. I'm trying just to deliver what I've heard. But this is Romans 12, and then I want to finish, I got another word. I'm going to Obama right after that, and I'm going to finish that. But it's also, it also has to do with the why. Why would I pray for his redemption, right? For him to repent. Romans 12 9 says, love must be free of hypocrisy. So this is actually, these are practical encouragements for believers day-to-day, how we live our lives, right, in Romans chapter 12. And it says, love must be free of hypocrisy. So as the church, if we don't begin to get subtle with the difference between what the word actually says, what the Holy Spirit's actually saying, and what the conservative movement or what our party says, the problem is we are going to start being hypocrites. It says love must be free of hypocrisy. It's okay to say God told me to vote for this person, and God, and this is the amount that God told me to support them. But I disagree with this one thing they did. Why? Because I don't believe it was biblical. It's okay to say that. It's okay to say I don't support everything somebody does, right? Because if we're not willing to do that, we become hypocrites. God did not support everything David did, King David did. Love must be free of hypocrisy. Detest what is evil. Cling to what is good. Detest what is evil. Cling to what is good. We live in a culture today where people don't know the difference between what's right and what's wrong, right? I mean, I get on Facebook, and I see an ad from somebody who's wearing a Jesus Loves You shirt, and they've got a link to their OnlyFans account at the top, you know? It's like the devil is mixing the signals. So a Christian might see that and go, oh, well, that's okay. She's a Christian. That must be okay. It's not. It's probably AI anyways, right? It's not okay. That's why we've got to cling to what is good and detest what is evil, even when it has a good name attached to it. It says, be devoted to one another in brotherly love, giving preference to one another in honor. It's talking about in the church, okay? Talking about in the church. Not talking about the whole culture of honor thing, you know, that obviously has gotten skewed. It's not talking about that. It's saying when you're interacting with another believer, how we should give preference to, we should be devoted to them in brotherly love and give preference to them. And I'm going to read the rest and then finish, but it says, not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. So these are the ways we ought to treat the church around us. Verse 14 says, bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. That's actually potentially talking about those in the church because of the context here, right? And it's probably talking about others as well, but it says, rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Very easy to say, well, I've figured it's easy to bring politics into the church and say, well, you don't agree with me on this issue, so that must mean you're not very spiritually enlightened, you know, or you're not as good of a believer as I am or something like that. But it says, give preference to one another in honor, be devoted to one another in brotherly love. There's something to say about being united with another true believer around the gospel message, despite political differences. Now, there's also something to be said with detesting what is evil. So that's not, I'm not telling you to justify something that's evil, right? Abortion is evil and wrong. It also happens to be a very controversial political issue, but as Christians, we do not have to compromise when it comes to something that is very clearly evil in the word. Yet there are other things, there are other issues that are minor issues that there's not a clear, there's not always a clear black and white in the word. Legislation about taxes, right? And yet believers, in some cases, we get bent out of shape because we go, well, you know, like, you don't agree with me on that thing. It's like, well, the word says, do not be wise in your own estimation. Why don't we try saying, well, I disagree with you on that, but I could be wrong. I could be wrong. You know, it's like, I don't have a solid scripture to back this up. It's just how I feel about it, right? Or here's the data that shows that I'm right, but I could be wrong. You know, like, it says, never repay evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people. This is an exhortation to believers in the church when it comes to other believers. If it possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people. And that even extends beyond the church, but not to as great of an extent because we don't have the same unity with unbelievers that we can have with believers. There's so much anger attached to politics right now, and it's just getting worse. The U.S. is divided into essentially two main camps, and the church is as well. And now those dividing lines are becoming even more segmented. What's dividing the world should not be able to divide the true church, not to the same extent, not in the same ways. The word says the love of Christ controls us. If we get back to the love of Christ being the thing that's controlling us instead of politics, we're going to do so much better as the body of Christ. I'm speaking to myself just as much as anyone, and I'm only saying this because I believe it's what the Holy Spirit is telling me to say. I'm not trying to get down on anyone. I'm not trying to be judgmental. I'm not trying to point a finger that I'm not pointing at myself, but my hope would be that if this applies to me or any one of us, that we would allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts. This is what I heard next about Obama. The Lord said, trouble brewing in the Obama camp, in the Obama household. Pray for them that the truth will come out, but also that redemption will take place and salvation would occur. So the Lord is asking us to pray for them, or at least for me to pray for them. Now, I'm not putting that on you unless the Holy Spirit asks you to do that, but He may. But then I heard the Lord said this. He said, it is my will. So I'm just going to read it. You'll understand it. It says, it is my will for my people to pray for the restoration of leaders, not for the death of those that I have allowed into places of authority. You have many of my people who are saying, pray for their death to come. And I heard, this is not my will. Yes, even for those that are involved in great evil in high places, I have a redemptive plan in mind. And I heard him say, go back to the word and stop listening to those who tell you that death is always on the horizon for the ones involved in evil. Because though death and destruction ultimately are the results of sin, I've commissioned my body to preach the word of truth, the word of life meant to save people, not the word of condemnation and death. And then I heard the Lord say, get back to the word of life again, the word of hope for humanity. So you have heard certain voices online claim to be speaking what the Lord's telling them to speak. And yet I've heard them pray for evil leaders to die. And I know that that's not the heart of the Lord. It's not what I heard in this prophetic word. Now, I'm submitting this as a prophetic word for you to test. You can pray about it, see if the Holy Spirit confirms it to you, see if it's confirmed by agreeing with the written word. But also at the same time, I don't believe that that's what the word teaches either. You know, the word does not teach us. It says, God desires that all would, and none would perish, that all would repent. And I think in some cases as the church, we've circumvented that. And we've brought something that was very old covenant in its nature into the new covenant. Even the old covenant, you see the same heart of a father shine through. When you really get in there and you start to read it with the lens of what Jesus was going to come and do. The grace of God is all through the scripture, not just in the New Testament. He's merciful. He's long suffering. He's compassionate. He's always been that way. There are times where he makes a judgment call. He says, enough is enough. That's up to him. He's the judge. We're not. There's a verse where in the gospels, and I'll finish with this, where Jesus gets rejected by a town, by a village that they go through. And a couple of the disciples say, you want us to pray the fire would rain down from heaven and destroy them. And the word says that Jesus rebukes them. And he just goes to the next village and he keeps preaching the word of truth. I believe we ought to do the same thing that he did. So that's it. I hope this landed either way. That's what I heard. So I love y'all until next time. Y'all let me know. I did the vertical thing on Facebook today, the portrait mode. So I'm streaming horizontally to YouTube and vertically to Facebook at the same time. Let me know if you like that, if that worked well or not. And I'll try to do that again. But yeah, I love y'all so much. I'll see you next time.
