10:42 – I really felt like the Holy Spirit wanted me to address that today. I heard this on May 4th. I heard the Lord say, lithium and cobalt. (and these are two resources naturally occurring). Then I heard, both of these substances are about to send people on a hunt. Then I heard, a global catastrophe they will say.
11:07 – Then I heard, how will we ever survive? that was a question that the Holy Spirit shared with me, that was from the perspective of people responding to this.
11:13 – then I heard, one source undone, another developed. This will happen soon. And then he said, within a year from now.
12:01 – heard the Lord say this next. He said, the lithium hunt, it will be called. Then I heard. the Holy Spirit said this. He said, lithium is needed for a wide variety of things. Some that won’t function without it. Then he said, So is my word. He said, But people seldom hunt for it, or make room for it to be spread.
NotebookLM AI Summary:
The transcript provides a prophetic word and subsequent theological teaching concerning an impending “global catastrophe” and the spiritual condition of believers.
I. The Prophetic Word: “A Global Catastrophe”
The speaker, Troy Black, shared a prophetic word he heard on May 4th, which he believes relates to events that will happen within the next year timeline.
Key elements of the prophecy include:
- Resources Mentioned: The Lord spoke the words “lithium and cobalt”. Both are naturally occurring resources used in electrical vehicle batteries and power storage technology.
- The Hunt and the Catastrophe: These substances are about to “send people on a hunt”. A “global catastrophe” will occur, which “they will say” is the cause. The event will be referred to as the “lithium hunt”.
- Source Disruption: The word indicated that a major source of both lithium and cobalt is going to be “undone,” go away, decrease, or be restricted, leading to a major shortage or difficulty. The resulting situation made people question, “how will we ever survive”.
- New Development: Following the disruption (“one source undone”), “another developed”. The shortage will create a “hunt created by a vacuum,” meaning people will look for it because it is missing.
- U.S. Focus and Confirmation: The search for lithium and cobalt will be centered in the United States. The search is compared to a kingdom looking for something it previously found elsewhere. The Lord spoke of a “new discovery is right over the horizon” but cautioned that reaching it will require pressure—the need going unmet for a season. The speaker noted that news had recently come out confirming a large lithium deposit discovery in the US (potentially in Oregon), which served as a direct confirmation of the word received earlier.
II. Theological and Spiritual Application
The prophetic word about the physical hunt for lithium and cobalt is used by the Holy Spirit as an analogy for the spiritual needs of believers.
A. The Resource of God’s Word: God contrasts the hunt for valuable physical resources with the failure of people to hunt for His word. Lithium is needed for many things, some of which “won’t function without it,” but the Lord said, “So is my word”.
- Value of Scripture: God’s written word (Scripture) is a valuable resource. It is a “lamp to my feet and a light to my path,” providing direction and solving questions about purpose.
- The Vacuum Analogy: Just as a vacuum creates the hunt for lithium, the “vacuum of life’s pressures and circumstances” should push people to find answers and hope in God’s word. This applies to both the written word and the “word of my spirit speaking to your heart”.
- Avoiding Satan’s Schemes: Believers should turn to God’s plan and provision when weak, rather than letting circumstances push them toward the devil’s schemes. This requires having a sincere faith and trusting that the answer comes from God, rather than “pedalling the word of God” for selfish ambition.
B. The New Covenant and the Heart: The primary issue God addresses is the spiritual status of His people and the necessity of sincere heart alignment.
- Relationship over Religion: Salvation is a “free gift” received through repentance (a heart change) and belief in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, not through going to church or being good. God desires a personal relationship where the Holy Spirit lives inside the believer.
- Spirit vs. Letter: The current covenant is “not by the letter but of the spirit, for the letter killed, but the spirit gives life”. Following the law legalistically is compared to the “ministry of death,” whereas the New Covenant is the “ministry of the spirit”.
- Heart Alignment: God seeks sincerity and purity of heart. The law of God is now written on the tablets of human hearts. If believers struggle to hear God’s voice or feel anxious, it may be due to a heart that is not aligned with God.
- Freedom in Presence: The Lord’s heart is for His people to know Him, which happens when they come in by faith and find freedom in His presence. When someone turns to the Lord, the veil over their heart is taken away, and “where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”.
The speaker encourages believers to live as if it were the first day they were saved and the last day, reminding them that God’s grace is sufficient and they are always welcome in His presence. This life of fellowship and rest in Jesus’ finished work is called the ministry of reconciliation.
