In an exclusive 2024 prophetic word given to Charisma News, Troy Black shared what God has been placing on his heart for the next year to come.
“What I heard specifically was I heard the Lord say, ‘you’re entering a season of renewal,'” Black shared. “And then I heard this phrase, ‘renewal of the saints.’ I believe God is speaking to believers, those who have put their trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. And He’s saying there’s a season of renewal coming.”
Black says that this renewal is for the church, for those who love the Lord because He too is the lover of the church.
“And this is the next thing I heard…I heard the phrase ‘a precious element, a precious structure, the church body.’ And then I heard the Lord say, ‘She is precious to Me. She’s My bride, a structure I oversee and watch over in every way. I oversee the changes happening within My church. I oversee and protect what’s Mine,” Black prophesied.
Black said the premise of communion and remembering that everything we could ever need is to be found in the person of Christ. There is joy in knowing and remembering what Jesus did for us on the cross and that this is the time to seek the firm foundation that the Lord alone can give us.
“If a renewal of the saints is going to happen in 2024, we need to number one, do things and remember it’s of Christ,” Black said. “So we need to look back and remember what Jesus has done for us…we need to [also] make sure that we’re operating under the new covenant. See, the devil is coming against the body of Christ right now.”
Black said that the body of Christ is currently in a process of sanctification so that we can become the kind of bride that He desires us to be.
“When we get our eyes off of the old and onto the new, then God is actually able to do something new in our lives,” Black said. “So, I believe that this is a sanctification process that we’re in.”
Part of this sanctification process of growing to be more like Jesus and know more of who He is includes acknowledging God at all times, in all circumstances.
“So, this is the next thing I heard: ‘I want her to acknowledge Me in all things…there needs to be a movement toward acknowledgement and away from self-centeredness if she’s going to thrive this next year and a half.’ And He said, ‘Because things are coming to challenge her, and she will be ready if and only if she can manage her own issues by taking them to the foot of the cross daily,'” Black prophesied.
By sitting in the grace of the Lord, by building upon the foundations that He alone can establish, God will bring restoration and freedom to those who love Him and place their trust in Him.
“God wants to give us joy this year. And I sense this from the Holy Spirit right now that God wants to pour out His joy this year upon His people. And even when everything else seems to be going wrong, I hear the Lord say, ‘My people are going to say I have joy in my heart because of what Jesus did for me,'” Black said.
