    Trey Knowles: Risala 27 – Final Argument of Notice
    Apr 22 2026
    Trey Knowles: Risala 27 – Final Argument of Notice Who put clothes on you? When you were indigenous and living in a natural tribal state, you were uncovered. You did not even know what a covering top was. Your women did not know what a bra was. But when God made us, He said everything was good. Who is this colonizer, you follow, who has taken the rest of God from you? Who told you that you were naked? Do you not know that anything unnatural that you take in will make you sick—and your children even sicker? Have your sons and daughters not begun to call themselves things that are foul and detestable? So why do you disobey your God to follow this colonizer who hates you? Can you not see that he is destroying you and the earth? Because you follow the colonizer, your backs will be bent until you return to your natural state of consciousness. You are a slave to the one who colonized you. You have taken on his character. Your colonizer has changed your image and likeness into his own. I am telling you to know yourself, master yourself, and return to the image and likeness of God. What is this behavior you have adopted? You never acted like this before. My Lord does not even recognize you. Where is the image that God created in you? Who is influencing you to do wickedness? Is it the one offering the indigenous man the world? Is it the colonizer who comes to steal, kill, and destroy? You are like children who have been kidnapped and baited with candy. This colonizer has blinded your eyes and placed a veil over you. You are no different from the characters in The Smurfs. Your enemy operates like Gargamel, except there are many like him who hate you without cause. They would rather have you hate your own image and likeness and worship theirs. You ate with your hands, and they eat with spoons and forks. Who taught you to hate yourself? Whoever did this have rejected my Lord. Since they reject me, I will reject them. Since they are ashamed of me, my Lord will be ashamed of them. Have you not closed the door to my image and likeness? Have you not loved me? Have you not destroyed the natural state of the indigenous man? Have you not rejected me? The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. When my people return to our Father's image and likeness—where all was good as He created it—you will see the first become last and the last become first, and my people will find rest. My people have been led into confusion. Who has caused you to lose wisdom? Do you not understand that everything on earth has form, so your enemy is not a ghost? If your enemy were a ghost, you would not be instructed to rebuke the devil, and he would flee. The one who roams the earth has captured you because you refuse to rebuke him. Why do you allow the colonizer to have power over you? Even my Lord Yeshua warns you about this evil throne around Europe. As my Lord said in John 14:30: “I don't have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” You, my people, have power over the enemy—but it begins with letting go of everything gained from the colonizer and returning to your natural state. Whoever tries to save the life offered by colonizers will lose it. Whoever loses that life will find true life. A child does not worry about silver and gold. So I would rather have my Yeshua and my Father in heaven than silver and gold. I stand against those who follow the colonizer's ways and take on his image. Whoever worships this path is in conflict with my Lord. As a result, there will be division among families. Some love the colonizer's ways and will do anything to protect the colonizer master. To my people: I am a Black man standing at your door, knocking. Will you open and receive me? I bring a message that can save you. You have adopted every way of Europe and become its slave. Time is running out. Do not join in its destruction. Consuming unnatural things corrupts the spirit. True happiness is found in wanting nothing that must be bought—what the Father gives freely. Since they made you pay, perhaps my Lord will make them pay. The rent is due, and the owner is coming to collect. The blood they have shed will return in number, driving out wickedness. How great is the army of God that stands in righteousness with my Lord! You colonizers, cause my Lord's people to sin, then hide behind a false name and accuse them. Do you think you can hold my people captive and escape judgment? Now that my people's eyes are open, they are becoming less like you and more like our Lord Yeshua. They will no longer be captive, but you will face the consequences of your sins. For the wages of sin is death....

  • Trey Knowles: Risala 26 – Life and Love

    Trey Knowles: Risala 26 – Life and Love
    Apr 22 2026
    Trey Knowles: Risala 26 – Life and Love For our Lord declares that He knows the plans He has for us—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope. Life: My Lord Yeshua commands all mankind to love one another, not to trespass against one another, and to live freely—yet in holiness, for our Father in heaven is holy. What is love? Love is patient and kind. It does not envy or boast; it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, nor is it self-seeking. It is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. Give grace and mercy to those who are struggling, and encourage one another to do good. Walk always in the Spirit of God. What is the Spirit of God? It is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Do not make the lives of others difficult. Do not deny justice to the poor when they stand before you. If anyone among you falls into poverty in your towns, do not harden your heart or shut your hand against them. Instead, open your hand generously and provide for their needs, whatever their situation requires. Whoever oppresses the poor insults their Maker, but whoever is generous to the needy honors Him. Whoever governs must do so with love, so that people may live freely. Leaders should provide true security by protecting the vulnerable and upholding justice for the poor. When rulers choose fairness over power, God establishes their authority. By justice, a king builds up the land, but one who exacts unjust gain tears it down. It is an abomination for rulers to do evil, for the throne is established through righteousness. Rulers must speak for those who cannot speak, and defend the rights of all who are destitute. Judge righteously, and stand for the poor and the needy. When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and plead the cause of the widow. But if anyone possesses the world's goods and sees a brother in need, yet shuts his heart against him, how can the love of God remain within him? For that is evil, and that is how an evil colonizer behaves. Let no corrupt speech come from your mouths, for such behavior reflects what is evil. Instead, speak in ways that build others up and offer encouragement. Submit yourselves to God, so that He may guard you and set you apart from the wicked. In doing so, you will be able to resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up. Whatever you do, work with all your heart, as for the Lord and not for men. And whatever you wish others would do to you, do the same for them. In loving our Father in heaven, be doers of the word and not hearers only, lest you deceive yourselves. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that by testing you may discern the will of God—what is good, acceptable, and perfect. Do not follow rulers or powers whose ways oppose God, but remain steadfast in righteousness. If you live under an oppressive ruler or an evil colonizer, be vigilant, for those in power may create laws and systems that weigh heavily on the people and make life difficult for many. House of Jacob, because of our Lord, you may face hatred or racism, but remain steadfast. Remember, if they hated our Lord without cause, they will also hate you without cause. Therefore, conduct yourselves with integrity, so that my Lord may clearly distinguish you from your enemies. Guard your mind by being mindful of what you allow into it. Protect your body, and be careful about what you put in and on it. Be wise concerning medicines—read labels, ask questions, and seek understanding. It is better to nourish yourself with what is natural and what God has provided. Do not be deceived by anyone. In James 1:27, religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Know thyself by knowing God our Father Character. Sincerely, Trey Knowles, Grace and Peace.

  • Trey Knowles: Risala 25 - Fire & Purification

    Trey Knowles: Risala 25 - Fire & Purification
    Apr 20 2026
    Trey Knowles: Risala 25 - Fire & Purification A false witness will perish, but one who listens carefully will speak with truth and endure. Distinguish yourself from the wicked, even from those whom society calls “privileged.” The power behind the work of the wicked is rooted in corruption. Though they appear industrious, their labor is often unjust and cruel—built upon exploitation. They seize land, extract wealth through gold, oil, and other resources, and accumulate fortunes not through honest wages but through systems that oppress the vulnerable. They enslave the poor in various forms, yet accuse others of laziness. They pass down the benefits of wrongdoing to their families, shaping stolen gain into legitimate-looking enterprises. What was taken unjustly becomes normalized, and their households prosper from what is, in essence, dishonesty. In this way, the so-called “privilege” of the wicked is often constructed on foundations that lack integrity. Yet such wealth is empty. It is wealth that appears to come from something, but is rooted in nothing of lasting value. For this reason, our Lord teaches not to store up treasures on earth, where they are temporary, subject to decay, and vulnerable to loss. Instead, we are called to focus on the kingdom of heaven—to cultivate what is within. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. A man is the head of his household; yet when his queen turns her devotion toward other idols, she degrades herself in pursuit of her desires. This is why it is said, “My mother, who was my mother, was a prostitute.” She has birthed sin into the world with her price. As it is written in Genesis 3:15: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” A wise person examines themselves carefully, ensuring they are not disqualified, so that they may be set apart from the wicked. Therefore, distinguish yourself from the wicked. Those who abuse their wives act as colonizers who plunder what is precious; their hearts are hardened and filled with hatred. The speech of the wicked is used to mislead, manipulate, and conceal harmful intentions. The wicked are marked by pride and arrogance, yet the only harvest they produce is sin. There is no reverence for God before their eyes, and their hearts are of little worth. Yet the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. A person who is not content can easily become jealous, and with jealousy comes strife. Evil people want to do wrong, even to their friends; revenge is always on their minds. If your heart is wicked, why not replace it? If your eye is full of darkness, how great is that darkness? All crooks are liars. A person who is devoted to spiritual idolatry commits robbery against their own soul and is willing to kill for what they are devoted to. A person who drinks alcohol hates their spirit and forgets their need for the Spirit of God. A person who smokes violates their own body and its proper function. A drug addict loses everything. The wicked delight in destruction; when a weapon is within reach, they are swift to use it. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a temper shows a lack of sense and is often in error. Those who reject wisdom are not wise. They face severe personal, spiritual, and long-term consequences. A wicked employer oppresses the hired worker by withholding wages, while improving his own life through those wages. Better is a poor person who walks in integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool. Cheating to get rich is a foolish dream and no less than suicide. You destroy yourself by being cruel, violent, and unwilling to live right. An ignorant fool learns by seeing others punished; a sensible person learns by being instructed. When justice is done, good citizens are glad, and crooks are terrified. If you stop using good sense, you will find yourself in the grave. God's people will escape, but all who are wicked will pay the price. For I tell you, whoever pursues righteousness and love will find life, prosperity, and honor. Fathers are not to provoke their children to anger, but to raise them with discipline and instruction in the Lord. Fathers teach your children right from wrong. Foolishness is deeply rooted in a child's heart, but consistent discipline will remove it. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever rejects correction lacks understanding. A person is transformed when they truly love, rather than waiting to be changed by circumstance. Faith without works is ineffective. Therefore, abstain from every form of evil. Whoever trusts in their own understanding alone is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom ...
