Trey Knowles

In Power and Control: How the Devil Did It, Trey Knowles challenges the idea of the American Dream, declaring it a deceptive system rooted not in God's will, but in the devil's influence. He argues that the pursuit of the American Dream promotes self-centeredness, materialism, and pride—values that are in direct opposition to the Kingdom of God. Knowles emphasizes that the devil’s method of control is to make people endorse and sustain a system where they must pay simply to live a decent life, which contrasts with God’s original intent for humanity. According to Knowles, Jesus came to offer abundant life through dependence on God—not through chasing worldly success shaped by the devil’s values.

00:00At one point, you was depending on God.

00:03You was living in your original state.

00:05You was indigenous to your land.

00:09But now, you're talking about the American dream.

00:16They got you desiring the American dream.

00:20You're working in incorporated America.

00:23You're working so hard.

00:25The more money you make, the harder it gets.

00:30You're getting high blood pressure.

00:35You're stressing out.

00:37Pressure is getting so hard.

00:40You can't even sleep at night.

00:41All you think about is work, work, work, work, work, work.

00:43That is not the life that God wanted for you.

00:48You're desiring the American dream.

00:51And God didn't say do that.

00:55So you're slaving for the American dream.

00:58You're slaving yourself for the American dream.

01:02If everybody stayed indigenous to their land, the oligarchs would not be rich.

01:08The people that's in power and control would not be rich.

01:13And they probably wouldn't be in power.

01:16They're in power over you because you allow them to be in power over you because you allow them to put you, yourself, in slavery.

01:26The more you want, the more you desire, the more they get power and control over you because you want their way of life.

01:37And their way of life is following the world.

01:42Now, when you're married and a woman says, you know what?

01:53Tell that man, I don't want you no more.

01:55The man's providing for her.

01:56He says, I don't want you no more.

01:58Everything was free for that woman.

02:01But now the woman says, I don't want you anymore.

02:03Now she makes it hard on herself.

02:05She's following her desires.

02:12She would have to pay for it than to have it free.

02:16See, right?

02:17Same thing right here.

02:19That man is upset trying to figure it out.

02:23Like, I gave you everything free and you're divorcing me and you'd rather work for it and allow somebody to treat you bad and treat you wrong.

02:35And I'm giving to you everything free.

02:36When God has said the same thing, he's like, look at man, I'm giving you food.

02:40I'm giving you water.

02:41I'm giving you everything.

02:42I'm giving you life.

02:43But you desire to pay for everything.

02:47You desire to work all your life.

02:49That is not the way God intended for it to be.

02:56So now you're following the world.

02:59You decide to have the world.

03:02And the world has made you self-centered.

03:06Desiring things that are opposite of God.

03:11Made you materialistic.

03:14So that woman that left you, she became materialistic.

03:18Self-centered.

03:20And valuing things that her husband wouldn't want her to have that are harmful.

03:28So the husband trying to figure it out is like, why?

03:30I gave you everything.

03:32God is like, I gave you everything.

03:35But you decide to follow the world.

03:37And it's different when you're forced into it.

03:42When you're forced into it.

03:45But when you just give in, it says, you know what?

03:48I want the American dream too.

03:50When you want the American dream, you're following the world.

03:56You're following the materialism.

03:58You're following, you become self-centered.

04:00You're desiring something that does not belong to you.

04:03God didn't intend for you to live.

04:08God didn't intend for you to live that way.

04:09And those who follow the world are enemies to God.

04:17Those who follow the world are enemies to God.

04:21So the enemy who enslaved you, who's putting you in slavery,

04:26the enemy who's colonized you, have you following him.

04:30So since you're following him, you're following the world.

04:33And if you're following the world, you became enmity to God.

04:39And so the one that enslaved you, the one who colonized you,

04:43is the devil because he's not following God.

04:47He's a liar.

04:50He's a cheater.

04:52He's a thief.

04:53He's a killer.

04:54He's not following God.

04:56But you were following God.

04:58And he took you out of the way God intended for you to live.

05:02He took you out of the way of life.

05:05He took you out of that way of life.

05:08He took you away from depending on God.

05:10And now you're depending on him and one of the things that he wants.

05:15So he goes taking resources,

05:20making people dig for stuff or resources in their land and not paying them,

05:27not paying them money,

05:30making devices.

05:31You pay, work hard,

05:33pay for these things that is meaningless.

05:35These things are meaningless.

05:38These things are meaningless.

05:42You can't enjoy life.

05:43You're stressing.

05:45You can't enjoy your kids.

05:46You're stressing.

05:48Because of work, work, work, paying bills, paying bills, paying bills.

05:51Everything was all, was free.

05:54Everybody was living in their own little promised land.

05:56This is what happened.

06:03This is what happened.

06:05This is what happened.

06:08So, choose not the world.

06:12Choose not the world.

06:13And when you choose the world,

06:16you put people in power and you put people in control over you.

06:20When you choose the world,

06:24you make the people who's in power rich and rich and rich by enslaving yourself to work.

06:34The more you want,

06:36the more you desire,

06:38the more you put people in power and in control.

06:42Because when you were in your indigenous state,

06:45they had no power and control.

06:47They had weapons,

06:47but they wasn't rich.

06:50Now they got weapons and they're rich.

06:54See what happens?

06:55See what happens.
