In my prayer time Thursday, Holy Spirit gave me this Scripture as a “Present Truth” revelation of His heart.

It’s been weighing on me to share it….

Despite what we see right now, treasure chests are being opened in Heaven’s economy over us. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

The wealth & resources that were once hidden [by man] & hoarded are now being revealed and uncovered by the LORD. 🎯

🗣️ BLACK MAN: YOU MATTER‼️ You are valuable and your mental health matters! If you live in MS or TX and you’re ready to start your therapy journey, send me an email and let’s talk. joshua@soulhealingpsychotherapy.com 🤎💪🏽

Black men in the U.S. have a significantly lower life expectancy than other groups — with prostate cancer being a key factor, according to the 2025 “Real Face of Men’s Health” report released this week.

The study, by the Movember Foundation of Men’s Health and the Penn Nursing Program, revealed that Black men live an average of 69.1 years in the U.S. as compared to 76.5 years for African American women.

By comparison, non-Hispanic white men live on average in the United States to age 75.1, and age 80.1 for non-Hispanic white women. Asian American men live most often to the age of 82.3, with Asian American women living until 86.3, and Hispanic men live most often until age 77, while Hispanic women live until age 82.3 on average.

Native American and Alaskan men have the shortest average life span in the U.S., with men living until 64.5 and women living to 71.3.

The report took a look at the lives of 4,126 men in the U.S., across the nation’s demographic lines, including geography, socioeconomics, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. It is the first report to describe the state of men’s health in the nation.

Researchers found that for more than a century, men have died younger than women, and in recent decades, they have also fallen far behind the average lifespans of men in other wealthy nations.

The leading causes of death for men in the U.S. included heart disease and cancer — primarily lung cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer, according to data in the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The LORD permitted me to release this word at Mantle Pop-Up Revival 2025. Mental illness is the next pandemic! We are on the verge of a mental health crisis.

Jesus said that in the last days, men’s hearts would fail them because of fear. It’s time to gird up the loins of our mind! It’s about to get real out here.

Back in June, the LORD led me to warn our annual gathering of leaders that it was going to get really dark in our nation in the Fall of 2025. We are here. Let’s remain sober & whole.
