God Appointments
“All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful: all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.”– 1 Corinthians 10:23
God wants you to prosper in all things. However, He didn’t give you a right to prosper at the cost of others. God’s law is love. Love God with everything and love your neighbor as yourself. When you follow God’s law, you will find yourself in a place of prosperity serving others.
Declaration: I will love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind. I will love my neighbor as myself so we can both spend eternity in heaven.
God AppointmentsThe promise is this: When we seek God, we will find Him. So, how do we seek Him? Where do we look? Glad you asked. You know I love calendars. I love timelines. The Bible is filled with them. I even believe it makes Father God happy to set dates and make appointments with us.
He wants to meet with you, as well. His word tells us that He set apart times for these appointments.
“And on the fourth day, God created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and he placed them in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” – Genesis 1:14
“Seasons” here means a prophetic appointment–a set time. Prophetic appointments are found in the Word. As a matter of fact, words “at the appointed time” are recorded 21 times in the New King James. That number is 3×7–fullness of time.
Many of these prophetic times and seasons are the Hebrew feasts. “But Pastor Troy, I’m not a Jew. Why should I keep their calendar and their feasts if I’m a bacon-loving Gentile?” Because they are not the Jew’s feasts; they are the Lord’s (Leviticus 23:4). Thankfully, our Jewish and Israeli friends have been the keepers and stewards of the biblical feasts throughout the centuries. I praise God for them because these are special appointments the Lord offers to all His children who seek Him.
Acknowledging God during these biblical feasts demonstrates you are His. You know His word and are eagerly expecting a divine appointment with Him on these Holy days.
At other times, I may hear the Lord call me into other appointments. He may say, “I want you to fast during this time. I want you to pray on this date. I want you to seek me on this certain day.” These appointments are personal times the Lord sets apart to reveal new secrets, hidden mysteries, or plans for my destiny in His Kingdom. I can tell you they rock my face off!
Like I always say, still and small is not just a description of the voice of God, it’s a description of the heart that can hear the voice of God. Many have been too big and too busy with worldly appointments to hear the voice of God calling them into an appointment–a prophetic time that can change everything.
God Almighty is inviting you to be part of this new thing He is doing on planet earth right now. Will you miss His timing because you were focused on something else? Set an appointment with the Lord. He’ll show up and show off.

Consecration
“And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.” – Matthew 10:22
People of God who are walking in the blessing of God will always have haters. Know your purpose! When you have a purpose, you won’t be defined by how others see or react to you. You decide to be blessed despite who it makes mad.
Declaration: I am a passionate, purpose-driven person. My vision is clear and those who hate me can’t slow me down.
ConsecrationAs we get closer and closer to the imminent and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ, there are things from the Bible that we need to pay special attention to. There is a word I want to introduce that you may not be familiar with: consecration.
Consecration means to be set apart; to lean into something or to be intentional. Once consecration is made, everything needed for your call will come to meet you. You will find yourself at a certain place, at a certain time, for a certain miracle to happen. Just like this:
“For Moses had said, ‘Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord that he might bestow upon you a blessing this day.'” – Exodus 32:29
What he’s saying is, “There’s a certain place I’ve got to go. I have to lean into that and own it.”
Not only are we to consecrate ourselves to the purposes of the Lord, we also have sacred spaces of redemption in every part of our life to be consecrated. Even our sleep doesn’t belong to us. It becomes an intimate time between us and the Lord. It’s when we get to hear God speak.
Listen, we have to hear Him speak and be consecrated to the Lord. See, consecration is all about an intentional posture toward God’s presence. People who walk with God powerfully in a public way have to walk with God privately in a powerful way. There’s no substitute for that. You and I must own the responsibility of being people of consecration.
Setting yourself apart in a very specific way for God to bless you in a very specific way needs to become your new norm. It’s what you have to do and who you need to be in these times. Jeremiah went to the cave. Ezekiel went to the river and Daniel went to the window. Where do you go to get yourself consecrated so you can live at a higher level?
“Blessed is the man whose heart is set upon pilgrimage.” – Psalms 84:5
Being “set on pilgrimage” is about being consecrated. There’s a special blessing for people who want to go deeper with Christ. Maybe your friends don’t go after God like that. Maybe your history has never gone after God like that but let me tell you this: I feel a green light for you. I feel permission. I double dog dare you from the Holy Spirit to set your heart upon pilgrimage and consecrate your life to King Jesus today. It’s time.

A Specific Word
“He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.” – Deuteronomy 10:21
You are a magnifying glass! Whatever you focus on, you will magnify. King Jesus is looking for those who will magnify Him, not the problems around them. Make goodness the big thing and evil the itty bitty thing because good overcomes evil every time!
Declaration: The Lord is my God! I will praise him daily for awesome things which He has done in my life, the breakthroughs He is bringing today, and for the plans He has for me.
A Specific WordFor more than 30 years, I fast at the beginning of the year. I cry out to God and say, “Lord, what is the Word you have for right now?” Every year, the Lord has delivered. I’m not talking about a defining word for everybody about everything, but something the Holy Spirit actually highlights in my life and says, “Troy, I want you to pay big time attention to this.”
That’s a very specific Word from God for a specific person at a specific time. Now, God doesn’t always speak the same from one time to another time. He doesn’t speak the same from one group of people to another–not even people in the same region. He may not even give them the exact same Word. He is ultimately personal.
In the book of Revelation, when Jesus spoke to the seven churches, He didn’t speak the same word to those seven churches. He spoke a very different, specific word to each church. See, God does not speak the same to everybody. Scripture says He speaks differently from one person to another and from one time to another.
“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in times past.” – Hebrews 1:1
Finding certain places you can meet the Lord at certain times of year to get a new Word or revelation from Him is a kingdom principle. The feasts of the Lord are like that. He says, “I want you to meet me at a certain time of the year for you and I to talk about a certain narrative and I’m going to give you a whole new layer of revelation.” You see, God speaks when you actively pursue and seek Him.
So, let me ask you, are you seeking Him for a specific word or are you looking to the world? Only one way brings life.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. – John 10: 27-28

Prophecy Unveiled
“I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” – Romans 10:20
Jesus is after you. He is after your family, your spouse, your kids. That’s good news! He pursues us with Holy passion. He is already pleased with you and calls you into His presence. Respond to His voice by trusting His promises and He will bring you to the place He has prepared for you.
Declaration: I stand on the promises of God for me and my family. I will not be shaken.
Prophecy UnveiledProphecy is not about all about telling the future. It is really about knowing the heart of God for you, your church, for the day you live in, or concerning this event or that, right?
Prophecy is about having a tremendous value for His voice where you say, “Lord, I’m thirsting after Your Word. I need your Word in my life. I have to hear you speak to me. King Jesus, what are your instructions? I want Your will and Your timing for my life, not mine.”
The Bible describes the prophetic counsel of the Sons of Issachar to King David. Meaning, “Okay, I’ve got this council telling me I’ve got to do this thing or telling me to walk into that, but before I do anything, let me turn to the keepers of prophetic timing who know what Israel ought to do and when to do it. They are the keepers of God’s prophetic timing and I don’t need a trainwreck.”
“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command.” – 1 Chronicles 12:32
Like King David, you need true prophetic counsel within your life. First, you need to go to the Lord and say, “God, speak to me. I need to hear Your voice.” Or, like King David, say, “Teach me, O Lord, to number my days that I might apply my heart into wisdom.” Then, when David needed to move, he said, “Let me turn to the tribe of Issachar, who understands prophetic timing, so we know what to do and when to do it.”
In these end days, we need to be prophetic people operating with and among other prophetic people and within prophetic timelines. We need a tribe and to get connected to other tribes. Do you see how this works? When the whole body comes together as one, the body of Christ–the Ekklesia–we arise in victory because we know the heart of the Father. Are you looking for wise counsel?

A New Thing
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” – Luke 10:19
You are a child of God called to operate in the same authority Jesus ministered here on earth. The devil is a created being, a cosmic punk, but you and I are big and powerful and have full dominion over the enemy. Use that authority today to bring freedom to someone being held captive.
Declaration:I refuse to make the devil all big and bad. I believe God’s word and I walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority.
A New ThingThere are some difficult concepts in the Bible and this is one of them: the “acceptable time.”
“In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” – 2 Corinthians 6:2
Let me translate here. It’s God saying, “Okay, listen. We’ve been talking about how this was going to happen, but now is the time when we’re not talking anymore. This is the thing, and it’s here. It’s going to happen.”
The Prophet Isaiah said, “Behold, I do a new thing. Shall you not know it?” Here’s the deal with a new thing–you can miss it. It doesn’t look like the last thing. It doesn’t sound like the last thing. It’s a new thing, and the only way you recognize it is if you’re looking for it.
That’s why the Spirit of the Lord will always send a forerunner to wake people up and say, “Don’t forget to be looking for this.” John the Baptist was not the light, but he came to bear witness of the light. It was during this time when people started getting excited about the return of the appearance of the Messiah– the promise and fulfillment of the Scriptures.
So, John’s message was, “It’s time to repent and get with a new program. Now is the timeto turn to the Lord.” Jesus showed up during this time because God always sends a forerunner. He sends warning words and events and says, “Don’t forget to watch because you don’t want to miss this.”
Sadly, after three years of powerful ministry, Jesus stood on the Mount of Olives weeping over the city of Jerusalem, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem. I sent my forerunners. I sent my prophets, but you didn’t like them and you killed them. I wanted so bad to rescue you. I wanted to gather you together and protect you from the thing that had come in, but you wouldn’t listen. And now, you’ve missed your day of visitation.”
It’s a great curse to miss your day of visitation from the Lord. I ain’t missing it. You’re not missing it. No, no, listen. You and me, we’re looking. We’re looking unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith because right now is the acceptable time.

God’s Alignment
“Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble: You have prepared their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,” – Psalm 10:17
When you get small and humble, it gets God’s attention. Are you willing to slow down and see where God is in the midst of your busyness? Are you willing to lay down your agenda to sit at His feet? He will meet you in the middle of the chaos and bring you peace.
Declaration: Today, I choose to slow down. I will get still and small in the presence of my King so He can do big things through me.
God’s AlignmentWhen we see the nation’s agenda begin to sexualize our children, confuse them on what their gender is, and sexualize them in every way, we are witnessing the enemy seeking to change times and laws.
The Bible is clear that when the antichrist rules and reigns on earth, he will seek to change God’s times and laws (Daniel 7:25). There is a blatant antichrist spirit in the world right now and the agenda being pushed seeks to change times and laws. As believers on assignment with King Jesus, we must be aware of how this spirit seeks to operate in our lives.
You have to stay in alignment with your assignment. You have to seek His voice in your life and realize where you are on His timeline. When you move out of alignment, you open the door for a curse to come in.
Let me give you a few examples of how a curse operates in a personal timeline:
A 55-year-old man who does nothing but sit at home and play video games all day long like he’s 14. He seeks to change the times for his selfish desires.A 40-year-old mama parties all night out with her girlfriends, acting like a teenager when she’s got kids and maybe even grandkids she needs to take care of. She seeks to change the times for her selfish desires.King Solomon called out this kind of selfish and immature behavior and it still needs called out today!
Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning!Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes feast at the proper time—For strength and not for drunkenness! – Ecclesiastes 10:16-17
Do you see how the enemy seeks to change even personal timelines? But, God! The Word is clear, when you seek God’s voice and remain aligned with His will for your life, you will be blessed beyond what you dare think or imagine! Seek His voice and will for your life regardless of how enticing the world’s timeline may seem. The curse of being out of timing is costly for you and all those around you. Stay on course.

Kingdom Tribe
“No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” – John 10:18
Are you afraid of losing something or someone? Fear is about protecting yourself from pain. Jesus showed you a way to walk in power and a sound mind–love. Give it away! Set free whatever or whoever you are holding onto and you will find freedom is the cure to fear.
Declaration: I’m trading fear for power and a sound mind. I lay down all I hold close. I trust Jesus to love me and them into the Kingdom.
Kingdom TribeDo you know what tribe you’re part of? “But Pastor Troy, I’m not in no tribe. I’m a bacon-eating dude who grew up in Johnson County, Texas.” I get that but you still have a biblical tribe you are a part of too. “What? No, I’m not.” All of us are as we are all sons of Abraham.
The Bible says there are 12 gates in heaven, and each belong to a different tribe. You and I are going to enter according to our tribe. Scripture describes each tribe according to the blessing Jacob declared over them.
Your tribe is typically tied to your unique giftings–how you choose to worship and praise God, how you seek His Word, His timing, or His ways–each is unique to your tribe. Each tribe is a necessary part to make us, the Bride of Christ, whole–one body ready to war for the Kingdom of God.
This means you get a piece and I get a piece, and we share in this thing together. Want an example? When we share in the responsibility of taking care of people nobody else wants to take care of, we get the promise of the favor of the Lord upon us.
There is a reason and a purpose for each tribe. Where the enemy seeks to divide where partnerships are necessary and needed in the Kingdom. Each tribe is just as significant as each person in that tribe–we all have a part!
Now, I can’t tell you what tribe you are, but I can tell you this: You do have a part. So, if there is now a burning desire in your spirit to find out what yours is now, work with the Holy Spirit to seek out a matter. King Jesus loves it when we do that.
“So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” – Matthew 19:28-29

Missing the Bus
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds, I will write them,” – Hebrews 10:16
Understanding covenant is foundational to your walk with King Jesus. God’s commitment is so powerful, He even writes it on your heart. Trust Him in yourself. He will guide and keep you.
Declaration: My inner self is being renewed day by day. I have the mind of Christ and my actions reflect the heart of God.
Missing the BusThis is a very dangerous day you and I live in. Here’s what I’m going to tell you: It’s not gonna get easier. And if you’re like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop, stop, stop. That’s all I need to hear. That’s enough doom and gloom,” I have this to say: No, that’s reality. Pull up your big boy and big girl pants and declare victory in the day you’re living in.
Friends, you did not sign up for easier. You’re signed up for victorious. You’re signed up for better. You signed up for King Jesus and it’s not easy.
Jesus talks about when he comes back, it’ll be like it was in the days of Noah–everyone consumed in their own day-to-day, planning their own selfish agendas not understanding the significance of the day they were being trusted with. As a result, they perished. They were too distracted by a clock that wasn’t the Kingdom’s.
You and I are living in that day right now. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the return of the Son of Man. This is that day. The effectiveness of your watch and knowing what time you live in is such a big deal. Even if you miss the bus by one minute, sadly, you still missed the bus. You have to be at the right place at the right time and then boom, the Spirit of the Lord shows up.
‘When the proper time had come (for executing my judgments) I will judge uprightly,’ says the Lord.” – Psalm 75: 2 (Amplified)
There’s a time where God says, “Okay, here’s the deal. I’m now going to bring my righteous judgment into a situation. I sent prophetic warnings, signs, my prophetic people, and forerunners. I wanted so badly to rescue you, but you would not stop what you were doing to see and listen. Now, you missed your day of visitation.”
What if you had an ear to hear and weren’t all about your own selfish agenda? What if you repented and got with the program? It’s not too late. Read the Word. Look for the signs in the headlines and heavens. Listen to the warnings. The day is near and you don’t want to miss the bus!

Exposed!
“Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will be no means enter it.” – Mark 10:15
Everyone has a Heavenly Father, but not every child knows or remembers it. If you believe you are orphaned, alone and not wanted, you will never pursue your inheritance. Remember, you are a child of God created with purpose and destiny.
Declaration: I’m not an orphan! I belong to the family of God and the inheritance of Heaven is mine in Jesus’ name.
Exposed!The year 2022 is when hidden things are made manifest, the secret thing exposed, and the real agenda revealed. There are a lot of puppets who have been staged up front and the Lord is about to reveal who is who and who their true master is.
My friends, much of what we have been experiencing these last several years has been a show–a dog and pony show–and King Jesus is exposing it all. Friends, there is so much more Jesus is about to shine revelation light on. He is about to reveal the true motives of what people are doing and why.
Even within the body of Jesus, evil is gonna be exposed. Let me warn you here: the time is now. If you’re out cheating on your wife, you need to repent. If you’re out losing your mind, you need to repent. If you’re not being the person God Almighty called you to be, get with the program and repent!
We need to get our own lives right, not just to clearly see the demonic agendas within our government and the world. We need a greater level of discernment operating in our personal hearts and minds to know the truth. Persecution has come to the church and we have to be okay with the mob hating us.
And, if you don’t think the socialists and non-kingdom people have an agenda to shut you down, you need to wake up. They want you. They want your family to look like their vision for a family. They want your church to be quiet. They want you to shut up, sit down, and let them take over things from here. Do not think the world is going to say, “Wow, man, you feed all these people? That’s amazing.” They’re gonna say, “No, no, no. You’re a threat to us and you’re a terrorist.”
Still, I have good news! Any time the Body of Christ comes under attack, the Power of God moves in. How will He know His children? By the fearless demonstration of love and redemption we present to the world. Now is the time! It’s the valley of decision. Repent and get right with God. Are you on board?
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” – John 16: 33
