Okay, go ahead and get your notes out Lord bless Matt Candler And Lord raise up the hood boys with a lively imagination in 15 years They already got it, okay Let's pray Father we thank you in the name of Jesus For this glorious testimony that you've given this people through the years We ask you that you'd impart faith and strength to us and to others friends Around the nations that are observing this you would strengthen them and their calling In the name of Jesus, amen again, I want to encourage you to Get the notes and follow the notes the notes are on the internet Because there's a lot of details I won't go into and so the notes have a lot more explanation We'll start first Roman numeral one the background of Bob Jones He grew up in the hills of Arkansas, and I got some more details there He spoke of having about a hundred revelations about this youth movement That was going to be raised up in Kansas City a hundred different revelations from 1975 to 1983 And of course, that's not an actual number. That was just a number he would say I Met Bob's former pastor one of them. There were several of them In the church he was at and at a pastor's meeting a citywide pastors meeting and I said hey I met a man named Bob Jones. Do you know him? He says of course I said, what do you think about him? He said he's a true prophet of God. I said well, he's been coming over to our church the last few months Are you okay with that? He said He told us publicly That in the spring of 83 when a group of young people came to Kansas City preaching on Intercession and revival that he would have to go. He said he told us that before he left and so I bless it and that was a Just an interesting interchange with another pastor. Well Bob's first we're gonna look at four Experiences that Bob had that relate to this movement. The first one his most I Mean the initial one his first Prophetic experience was in August 8th 1975 He sees the young adult movement for the first time now The context is that Bob is prophesying against abortion and after this session But we're gonna see a video of Bob. He's gonna talk a little bit more detail about this experience with his own words The Lord said prophesy against abortion and a demon appeared to him Said if you do I'll kill you Bob laughed at the demon He said in the name of Jesus you have no authority over me he prophesied on against abortion and suddenly he began to hemorrhage became very sick and he actually had a death experience and His spirit went to stand before the Lord and the Lord told him he says I'm sending you back for souls And I'm sending you back to touch Some leaders of a youth movement, I'm gonna raise up in Kansas City. That's the essence of what he told him Well, Bob comes back and the experience he had before the Lord is quite dramatic and he tells a bit about it in this video That's coming in just a few moments Then as Bob comes back the spirits about to reenter his body. He sees these two Large angels and they were talking to one another About the move of the Holy Spirit in Kansas City in the days to come Paragraph B. I'm gonna take some of Bob's own words from former transcripts. I have quite a few Different times he told the story. I just took them word for word He said the Lord told him paragraph B in the last days he's standing before the Lord before he sent back from death He said I'm gonna anoint some young people in Kansas City. I want you to go back to touch them Some of these leaders who will reveal me to the nation's he said I will send these leaders to you He said Bob there's coming a third world war It will wake up the nation's when it comes And I'm gonna bring a bill over a billion souls to me in the last days He said and I'm preparing my church To receive these billion souls and to labor with me in them Number one paragraph Bob continues. He said the Lord said Many of my servants have sold out my glory for sin They're called they're anointed, but they've sold out my glory to walk in sin, but the time is coming close I'm gonna raise up young people that will be faithful to me all the days of their life now Of course, he's raising them up all through Asia Latin America and Africa and Europe and the islands and all through the nations But he was speaking to Bob specifically about a city though this could be said of many cities of the earth The Lord said I'm going to raise up some young people. They will be faithful to me till the end Number two Bob said I looked at my body He's about to re-enter his body because he's still with an angel bringing his spirit back And he said I saw two great angels and he's looking at his sick body And one angel the angels were talking to each other not really not even to him He was he said I was like I was eavesdropping They were prophesying over Kansas City and I was next to them looking at my body, but I was listening to them talk They were prophesying. Of course, it was meant for him to him to hear them one angel said look and So I looked down to the can't downtown, Kansas City I saw a great explosion of the light of the glory of God and it broke out in the inner city It was a crystal light that was traveling at the speed of light to the nations of the earth Obviously this will involve media Paragraph 3 the angel prophesied and said to the other one to the other angel see it has begun One angel said yes as it always must begin in the heart of a man so Kansas City is the heart of this nation a great move of the spirit will begin here in Kansas City in The Truman Sports Complex, of course, we have this Certain association or identification in the spirit with Harry S Truman. I'm sure there. That's a real limited thing I don't know what his spiritual life was like, but particularly because of his Standing for the nation of Israel and the stadium is named after him And that's where this one dimension of this outpouring in the Kansas City area will begin. I'm sure there'll be several beginning points Then the angel told Bob you won't be in Kansas City when it all happens when it comes to fullness But you will see the beginning of it Bob told me that that made my heart sad He said that a couple times Particularly in interviews when we were interviewing him before different congregations or leadership teams The angel said I'm gonna bring the first leaders of this light explosion. I'm gonna bring them to you You're gonna touch the beginning of the leadership Another angel said look see those who will sing The first anointing is going to be upon the prophetic singers and the musicians The angel said look Bob look at those who say then the angel said that multitudes Will come to Kansas City because it will be a house of prophecy Called the house of prayer It's an interesting phrase. It will be a house of prophecy called the house of prayer Paragraph 5 they went on to talk about finances and the one angel speaking to the other And said God's gonna send finances to Kansas City beyond anything That they can understand and Bob was speaking about himself now. He goes anything that I could understand or we would at that time You'll be a city where people will form a partnership with God and they'll let God do anything with the money that God wants them to do and so God will prosper them beyond anything. We've ever seen in the past Again, this could be said of other cities as well Paragraph 6 Kansas City the angel said would be a world center to export natural bread or grain as well as spiritual bread There'll be a shipping center for grain in the future because food the angel said will be one of the primary factors in the last days And God's gonna put godly leaders The angel said in charge of the movement of natural bread in the time of famine in the days ahead And God has chosen this city to bless many nations number seven paragraph seven The angel said Kansas City is a city people can flee to and they can find refuge in the last day safety Great famine will come forth around the earth. There'll be a third world war a great world war the angels showed Bob that there would be strategic or various geographic areas around the nation, of course, this would be true of the nations of the world and part of the Encouragement of this testimony for people in other places is this is the sort of thing God is doing in the cities of the earth He's separating them. He's preparing people in those cities ahead of time We're just one Just small little example of a little bit of that We need to do it a lot better and the Lord's doing this in other cities. And so hopefully this will be an encouragement to the body of Christ in other places Paragraph 8 Bob said I asked the Lord. How could this be? How could all of these things be this great prosperity this? Bread being shipped out to the nations from the Kansas City area and the 500 mile radius the angels spoke about the 500 mile radius a number of times of Kansas City and The Lord said over and over it's because those Who pray will receive from my hand? He said it over and over because those that will pray they will receive from my hand and those that don't pray they won't receive Intercession will release the natural rain intercession will release the spiritual rain and then the angel said God's going to raise up a people in Kansas City who will pray for the rain and Therefore they will pray They will believe and will will receive and the rains will come in an hour of trouble the Lord showed him a banner over the city and even over the Midwest it had Prophetic an intercession which spoke of an abundant grace to operate in Prophetic an intercession, of course that releases the power of God The angel showed Bob at least five other cities in America that would have unusual protection and unusual power Of course, he didn't say only five. So as intercessors, we're gonna ask him for 500 if he says at least five, let's go for 500 and And cities but the point is God will appoint cities Based on prayer and his sovereign decrees, but those decrees are related to prayer Wherever houses of prayer are being raised up I don't mean houses of prayer that look like ours or even are associated with us. I'm talking about prayer ministries Though that's those are Indications of cities that will have unusual protection and provision in the future Whatever you do build houses of prayer again many styles many different ways and models to do it That God is breathing on across the earth. We're just one little style one little way There's a many many ways that the Lord is Establishing in the body of Christ in the nations today in terms of prayer Roman numeral three now, we're going to move on to the next experience Or the next dramatic one I want to highlight he's had quite a few in between these it's interesting It is again on August 8th, which is strange. I asked Bob why August 8th? Who knows for sure? That's my answer. He said on August 8th He saw a white horse in the middle of a riverbed and this white horse which speaks of this young adult movement Was in the middle of a riverbed a riverbed it had that riverbed had four inches of water and it had Rabbit dogs or dogs with rabies on both sides of the river barking at this horse But the dogs wouldn't get in the river Because dogs with rabies I've been told don't like to get into water Paragraph B. It's in this vision and we're going to give a few of Bob's own words And again at the video that's coming in a few moments. He'll give even details on this as well The Lord lets him know that he has an assignment. He's going to help the beginning leadership of this young adult movement that's represented by this white horse and The Lord said assignment. He says keep this white horse in the middle of the stream don't let the white horse go to the right or the left because the dogs will bite the white horse and I describe what it means in this parable that the dogs will bite it. I have a quite a bit on that Paragraph see the dogs they speak of religious leaders that Do not see the value of what God's doing in this hour I'm talking about in our context this would mean again a parable you can apply many different ways But in our context this relates to those four values that God gave us in Cairo that God gave me in Cairo for this movement and I've talked to leaders over the nations and The as I would have to testify that Bob is accurate in the 25 plus years the Number one point of resistance I get over and over and over by good people who love Jesus good leaders These four standards I call them heart standards again. There's there's 20 Whatever the number values in the in a New Testament church. These are not the only values in the New Testament Church These are the values that are most neglected most easily explained away by the body of Christ today but over the years Constantly leaders are saying these are too extreme. They're unnecessary. It's legalism. It's just ridiculous It's elitism. No, no, stop it. Stop it. Stop it Because it was about living simple lifestyles taking less to give more to the gospel Yeah, but what about the blessing of God well we can get blessed we could get billions let's just give it to the gospel I Believe for billions. I just want to give it to the gospel to the harvest To the prayer movement and the harvest which is synonymous two sides of one coin Well holiness of heart. What about grace? Well grace is to establish holiness not to give us a way to feel comfortable in our sin Nine day prayer. Yeah, we got to be practical. You know, there are other things God said night and day prayer the move of the Holy Spirit Standing for what the Spirit is saying or doing and bearing the reproach for standing Now many leaders buy into those and many buy into part of them and many buy into none of them But for 25 years with friends with godly leaders that I really respect This is the point of contention over and over. It's too extreme. It's unnecessary Dial it down and Bob over and over would have words and says don't do not listen You must uphold these four things you must you cannot go to the right or the left of this dream Because these rabid dogs these dogs will bite you they will infect you with their thinking He said this young adult movement must be built on these four things Beloved this is so important God sent a man back from death as a prophet to keep this in place until it was established top of page 3 Now here's Bob's own words And we won't look at all of this But you can I left some so you could read it on your own to kind of fill in the blanks now. It's interesting that Bob was interceding to stop abortion when this visitation comes in August 8th 75 the vision we just looked at August 8 82 the vision we're looking at now the two experiences by the way these are more than visions They were full experiences when I would ask Bob was that a dream He'd say no. I hear a vision. He goes no I Said well, what was it he goes? I was there I Said where he goes I was there And I'd always kind of bothered me and he said but when you go there you'll know what I'm talking about Is that's all I could say what the vision wasn't a dream it Experienced it and of course, that's what happened in the to August 8th appointments in both of them He was praying and prophesying about abortion. This is not an insignificant issue We'll look at that in just a few moments Suddenly as he's crying out for a borscht against abortion the Lord appears to him And he said Bob the white horse is coming this is a group that I'm going to use in the power of the Holy Spirit and Bob says I saw a young group of people he goes actually saw them this time Because he had heard about them and seen different things, but and this one he saw them in a more distinct way Some of the faces he talks about And the Lord said to him I love this you're gonna love this because he's talking about you The Lord Jesus is talking to Bob face-to-face. He goes look at them real close. I Want you to know Bob that I love them. I want you to know that Over and over he would tell me I love these young people who were coming And he said my lightning will be in their hands. That's an interesting phrase The Lord said this my lightning will be in their hands and gave Bob a back at chapter 3 verse 4 Which is actually a verse about the Lord But of course if it's a verse about him, he can apply a portion of it to anyone he wants. It's his verse But in context a back at 3 4 is talking about Jesus in power operating in power at the time of the second coming but there will be groups and Whom this anointing of power and healing will be released. The Lord told Bob my lightning will be in their hands Number one Paragraph one under that Bob on the notes here. Bob said the Lord showed me like people in an audience and The people in a vast audience They would see but the the Singers musicians the preachers whatever they would raise their hand on the platform and in the vast audience The people in the audience would see light come out of their hands and touch their bodies in the place where they were sick Bob said it was the most remarkable thing He goes a man the light would touch him on his abdomen and he would he had no kidney or he didn't had a kidney Problem he would be given new kidneys Light would touch their eyes suddenly blind eyes would open light would touch a missing limb. It would grow out instantly The Lord showed Bob he goes this is the level of the anointing I'm going to be releasing before my return Now again, the Lord's talking to Bob about this group this level of power We're going to see this wherever the people of God press into him according to God's standards Anywhere across the nations this is available for the people of God Paragraph 2 the Lord says Bob. I want you to set I'm setting you behind them. I Want you to watch their backs. I don't want the mad dogs to bite them. Now. That's a parable now Remember in our last session it says in Matthew 13 Jesus spoke in many parables and beloved He still speaks in parables. I prefer the straightforward talk, but he talks in parables constantly And one of the reason he talks in parables as I said last night to make truth Clear to the humble and the hungry and to make truth obscure To those that are proud and self-satisfied so they can't understand it and the thing about a parable is that the more that it does as The years unfold more and more levels of meaning unfold with it and a parable has that dimension a story 10 20 30 years later. We look back and say oh How could we have known back then that this would have played into the storyline? The Lord said I want you to keep I'm still in paragraph 2 middle of page 3. I want you to keep the white horse in the middle of the stream Keep him in the middle of the stream and I'll do the rest if they simply stay true to what I've told them They stay in the middle and they don't listen to the religious warnings and active accusations because we could always Be we need to be teachable. We need to be Have a teachable spirit and be easy to correct by anybody but that's different than yielding to intimidation To let go of these standards Bob said you keep them in the stream. I'll do the rest Bob Number three Bob said those that stand on the side these leaders. They warn they accuse Constantly, but Bob said as long as you stay in the stream as long as you keep doing these four standards You keep your eyes on Jesus. You don't be intimidated. You don't fall into insecurity You don't yield and give up your vision because you're afraid they're going to accuse you and the people are going to get mad at you And you get insecure if you don't do that, you can stay steady paragraph six Now this is really personal The Lord says to Bob I'm going to release on Bob specifically a spirit of prophecy I'm gonna give you a spirit of prophecy Of course, he was operating in a significant spirit of prophecy at that time But I'm going to give you particularly to help this white horse That's your assignment To stay in the middle of the stream Bob said the Lord said I'd give you whatever revelation was needed to keep them in the middle of the stream They it happened so many times Like I could give you a long list of examples I used to tell them in the early days, but there's so many more stories to tell now But I remember a godly man came to me in the early days And he said Mike, I love you. I appreciate you, but you really need to back off on a couple of these things We got to be practical. I mean, let's be practical about real life And this really isn't that practical He says but I'm behind you and I'm with you no matter what and on and on and I went wow You know, it was a very good appeal Bob calls me on the phone He says the Lord showed me that a man who stood among the oaks of righteousness a righteous man He just talked to you And he warned you and he pleaded with you to back down. The Lord says it's not my counsel It's not my will do not back down. I went whoa. I just had that conversation We're on our way to a citywide pastors meeting We're in the car and Bob says to me by the way when you get there some guys gonna come to you He's gonna give you a prophecy and it's going to be about backing down. I could tell you what it's gonna be about He says don't buy into it. It's a leech Again speaking a parable language that will like suck the blood from you So I go there and a guy comes up a really, you know Just a real cool guy and just says hi. How you doing complimentary, you know, I just love your ministry, but the Lord showed me You're supposed to you know Liberate the people and let them In other words don't do these four things Bob was standing right next to the guy and he winked at me the Bob the guy leaves he goes throw it away Don't even waste a minute on it. It's not from God. It's from his humanist humanistic reasoning. He's actually reasoning to justify his own lifestyle He said don't buy into it stay steady they don't have any way of knowing of course neither do I In any kind of complete way what how important these four standards are and what God would do If we stay steady to them He I could give you many examples Of situations when Bob would come and tell me things like this top of page four Just to make the record clear Paragraph F. I won't go to detail right now on this, but I just want to mention it in 1996 I Was rebuked for the very thing for stumbling to the fear of man The Lord made it very clear and I confessed it publicly And our leadership team I said we're guilty. We actually did it, but we did it We confessed it in in the early stages of it and the Lord made clear that if we would not have owned that and confessed that and and distanced ourself from that Fear of man, which was based on intimidation and insecurity trying to make other leaders appreciate what we were doing So backing down we would not have confessed that there would be no I hop today So even after all of these warnings and all this divine help I still stumbled But it was a short stumble and I'm not saying that to justify me my point is the Lord recovered it and Said there's grace If you will yield and if you'll admit and repent so that way it was a big event And I can imagine from the heavenly point of view. It was a close call Yeah, I mean like we really were in the balance in that season We were becoming more Acceptable and a larger number in as the our ministry was going forth in many places More and more people were coming and we were I was toning down the offensive part of these four standards I believed him I preached them to our own congregation to myself But I toned them down and the Lord said that's called the fear of man. I said I thought it was humility He said it's the fear of man Speak them boldly tenderly in humility, but boldly Paragraph G. God is constantly calling. I hop back to I hop And what I mean by calling I hop back to I hop us. I hop the prayer ministry back to those four values I H O P I intercession H holiness Oh offering to the poor extravagant giving to the poor and P the prophetic ministry Standing boldly on what the Spirit says and does with a spirit of faith and believing for his intervention interesting paragraph H Found out later the August 8th. This is when the six when Truman signed the charter to establish the United Nations Another thing that happened on August 8th. I don't have on the notes at 96 Augustine the prophetic man in the early days. He died on August 8th. It's August 8th I don't have I don't really know what that means, but that date just keeps showing up like several other dates do It's that parable. It's that poetic parabolic Ways of God there's God's up has defined poetry and how he leads Precision truth in context with divine poetry as he leads history You have to be really smart to do that. Okay, we're gonna go to the next Experience this is the most dramatic experience I've ever had in my life Bob had an experience and I had an experience So I'm gonna take the most time on this and then I'll give one more after this. That's real short There was a procession That Bob witnessed in The spirit going down Blue Ridge. Let's just read it paragraph 8 on July 3rd 1984 Bob was I said a vision he goes. No, I go a dream. He goes. No, I go where he goes. I was there Bob was never Thought of as a theologian, although he's a very devoted man to the Word of God He spends hours a day in the word for 30 years hours a day in the word. He is a word man But he's not a theologian in the way that We would think of of a theologian, but he is a word man I have to say that because sometimes we say prophets they don't really get the Bible This man is hours a day in the word. I'm talking 30 years that kind of lifestyle. So Bob says I was there He says I was a Witnessing a great procession going down Blue Ridge now Those of us here and I hop in this building Blue Ridge, it's 50 yards away He saw it right there at that corner 50 yards from this building Now that's exciting today but in 1984 our church was 20 minutes away. I had never seen Blue Ridge on that corner I had no idea. I you know when he said Blue Ridge and I go whatever over there somewhere He goes we're gonna be there now again, it's obvious we're here but in that day it was like Bob I don't really think our Oval and Park Upper-middle-class congregation is going to move to Grandview. I don't really see that happening and Bob said I promise you it will happen You will be next to Harry S Truman Of course, most of you know that Harry S Truman he had two homes one Independence one here in Grandview It's only a couple hundred yards from here right there on Blue Ridge And that was part of it going past Harry S Truman's property The property that now part of it we now own On the way to the Harry S Truman or the Truman Sports Complex to the big stadium. I'm guessing it's 10 miles But there was a big I've never added it up, but there's a big procession of people and what he sees in this procession is there's 304050 young people he says 35 when you talk to him but he he got the number 35 because the Lord spoke to them and said they would be he spoke to them about the highway of Holiness from Isaiah 35 and Bob saw highway of holiness Isaiah 35 There's 35 of them but he saw a company of young people and God anointed them with Apostolic power with power to preach the gospel to heal the sick like the Apostles in the book of Acts And whether it's 20 30 40 50 we don't know or whether that's the entire number we don't know but that's the that's the group he saw and They were at the front of this big parade and all the people in the in the parade on the street Were the people that were healed by their ministry. There were thousands of them. The man would be pushing the wheelchair He was in it, but now he's healed. He's pushing it. The other guys carrying his crutches. They were showing they they were displaying their healing by carrying or showing the The different equipment that was a part of helping them before they were healed there were thousands and thousands of people walking down the street and the Lord was at the head of the company and this company of 3040 people were carrying the Lord on their shoulders like in the days of old when in David's day they carried the Ark of the Covenant on their shoulders and the Lord was being carried because they were lifting him high high and lifted up And they were on their way to Arrowhead Stadium to have a great meeting in the power of God and there were thousands on each side of the road cheering them and this Healing parade so to speak this gospel parade and many were on the sideline Praising the Lord only the people that were healed were were in the in the actual parade and these 3040 people young people that God would anoint Paragraph B Bob's on the side He's not in the parade and he's not one of the 30 or 40 leading it and he's an angel is sitting next to us standing next to him and he looks down and he has a hospital gown on and When he told me the next day he goes that perplexed me. I had a hospital gown on when this was breaking forth and then the Lord spoke to Bob and Said and I don't know if it was the Lord through the angel or the Lord, you know be carried on high He just said and the Lord spoke and said I'm going to reveal this To Mike Bickle, I'm going to reveal this group This group of young people that would be anointed with signs and wonders in the future Now everybody has the anointing of the Holy Spirit. They love the name of Jesus There's an anointing that every believer has by virtue of being born again But there's greater grace The Bible talks about many times greater grace. There's greater measures and these This company of young people had a measure of authority and power That was not just by faith. It was being manifest. I mean the lame were walking on a regular basis The Lord tells Bob I'm gonna visit Mike Bickle and I'm gonna share I'm gonna show him this This company of people or this what's happening here now Bob's own words paragraph D He says in the middle of paragraph he goes these were the ones that will bear the government in this movement this future movement These are the ones that will keep me high and lifted up Of course, they were carrying him like on the Ark of the Covenant. They were lifting him up and the Lord says From this position of being carried by these 30 40 young people and of course in the that's in the parable sense They're carrying his presence in the actual sense In an unusual measure because every believer carries his presence But the Lord says these young ones These are the ones that I'm going to bring up I'm gonna release apostolic power like like they had in the book of Acts was the idea And Bob says I walked funny. My feet were crippled and the Lord speaks to him and says you're my fib You're like Mephibosheth And you can read more about that Mephibosheth was crippled and he Bob had a hospital going on and he's on the sidelines Top of page 5 number 2 the Lord said but I want to tell you Bob about these young people That I'm bringing in. These are Bob's own words They will not be crippled they will not be crippled and the Lord said to him pray Psalm 12 verse 1 and Cry help Lord For the godly man perishes or cry help Lord We don't have any champions who will lift only you up because the Lord had talked to him about so many of my servants They sell out my glory When I blessed them They begin to compromise they keep the money They go for the pride. They stumble in immorality when I anoint them they use it for other things And I meant them to use it for the increase of my kingdom Psalm 12 1 the Lord said pray help Lord for the godly man perishes or pray help Lord We don't have any champions. Those are though. Those are the ones that would lift the Lord up even with great prosperity great power They would never turn their eye to the right or to the left in their devotion Beloved I'm talking about some of you in this room and those that are even listening to this in the future By DVD and CDs as this goes out to other places Bob said the Lord said to Bob I'm gonna answer that prayer I'm gonna answer that prayer Paragraph 3 Many leaders have brought shame by selling out to immorality gold or fame But the Lord's gonna raise up these young people and again, this could be said in other cities and nations. God will have Hundreds of millions of young people like this. Let's make sure they're numbered among us Make sure you're one of them It says Bob the Lord told Bob they will serve the Lord all the days of their life. They will be faithful to the end So Bob tells me this experience He has it on July 4 3rd on July 4th. He comes to me and he tells this whole he says Mike You're about to have a visitation from the Lord. I'm talking about You're going to go there and He's going to show you this procession on Blue Ridge these leaders these young leaders that are coming again We're still over in Overland Park 20 minutes from here I'm still not catching the Blue Ridge thing yet The Grandview Truman I believe it but I can't feel it I can't get a sense for it And of course the phrase I used to joke with is Bob our people in over the park They don't really shop in Grandview. That's really not where our congregation is, but the Lord says but this young people they will fit in well there These young people they will do well there. Don't worry about it. Well a month goes by Augustine calls me on the phone about 1030 at night. I just came home from the evening prayer meeting walk in the door Augustine hello. It's a month later He said the Lord promised You a visitation I said, that's right. You're gonna have it tonight You know, like how do you know? I Mean that's a that's a that's an intense statement I'm going to have it tonight, you know, yes Very powerful prophetic person, but still that's pretty intense He said I'm telling you So when it's over you'll look back and know that God even confirmed it beforehand So I go to bed that night Of course Diane says who is that Augustine what do you say? I don't know. Can they go to heaven tonight or something? I don't know. I Mean it's like I don't know how to say what he just said So I go to bed that night it happens Bob Jones was right in July a month earlier and bought an Augustine was right that night. I Stood before the Lord and what Bob Jones called the courtroom of the Lord Suddenly I find myself I go to bed fall asleep. It starts off asleep, but it ends up awake I end up awake. I Don't know 50 by 50, I don't know, you know when you're in that kind of you don't know measuring My point is it wouldn't have stadium. It was a a room and It's got clouds on the top the bottom and the sides and I'm just standing there and I'm touching my arms And I'm going I am NOT awake. I'm not I'm not asleep. I mean, I'm wide awake I go I don't know where what's happening I am in a room with clouds and I don't know how I got here and I don't know what's happening And I'm staring I see nothing and I'm touching myself my fingers and my arms and I Go, I know that I'm awake. I know I kept saying I know that I'm awake. I don't know where I am I don't know how I got here Suddenly oh By the way, I'm gonna read the verse this is biblical Because I really care that it's biblical. I don't want supernatural experiences that do not honor the written Word of God A lot of people have experiences as I'm not interested if it does not honor the written Word of God First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 1 Paul the Apostle said I had I will come to visions and revelations. I know a man in Christ 14 years ago whether he was in the body. I don't know whether he was out of the body. I don't know God only knows such a one was caught up To the third heaven, I know such a man he's talking about himself He just he can't let this go he goes whether in the body or I still don't know the three times He goes, I don't know and I think I really grasped that. I Mean he says this three times it's unusual and he says it again. I was caught up I mean just the repetition of Paul in these four verses Which incidentally in the very chapter Well, I'll get to that in a minute, so I'm standing there Before the Lord paragraph F and this is a weighty Terrifying or or painful not terrified but painful Statement the Lord says young man, and I'm at his left. I don't see him. I never turned to look at him I'm looking ahead the whole time This thunderous voice young man if you are impatient You will cause great harm and much turmoil to many peoples I Thought what no, I really thought what I don't know what's happening. Where did why did he say that? And I'm just looking forward Straight ahead. I don't look I'm mystified minute later Young man stronger voice louder I mean the first one was strong louder had a tone of correction had a Sternness in it of sorts a tone of rebuke young man You know, I'm just if you are impatient you will cause great harm and much turmoil to many people's and I'm going I Am getting rebuked by then. I know I'm in the presence of God. I Can't figure out all that's happening Why is he rebuking me because when he's talking about impatience You know, I'm thinking of driving too fast I'm thinking of You know getting mad at somebody staying mad. I'm just impatient with that guy So I'm gonna get mad at him. I think I don't do that. Well, I drive too fast, but I don't I Said I don't You know write people off quick I give people a lot of grace I'm thinking of relational style being patient with people's failures, and I'm thinking I and I said to myself I Don't agree with this. I think this thought I don't say it. I Don't know why he's talking to me so stern, but I kept said I said in my mind. He must be right. He's gone. I Don't write people off. I'm rude. I give him a second chance a third chance a fourth chance of you know I've been criticized giving him too many chances. I Go he has to be right now the third time Young man. Oh, man. It's like piercing me. It's like going through my being it's painful. I am hurting beyond measure If you are impatient, you will cause great harm You will cause much turmoil Too many people and I just started saying yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir I just started saying this and I was so much pain, and I'm completely confused as to why I'm getting rebuked suddenly the clouds open and I start falling and I'm falling and I don't know where I'm falling. I'm touching my body. My body is my physical body I'm touching it, and I'm only seeing dark and I'm falling And a moment later, I see lots of stars And I think where do the stars come so where I started it was there were no stars Then there starts a moment later I look to my right and the moon is right there equal to where me you know or however that goes I mean I looked right there I Looked at the moon a moment later I keep falling and the moon's way above me and the vast star I go I am falling through the sky somehow The reason I'm telling you this because I didn't tell this for years Because it's so kind of eccentric sounding a bizarre But the reason I'm saying it because I think that many people are gonna be having experience They have to honor the Word of God. I mean the heart of that experience Well, the whole thing has to honor the Word of God But I but I was so perplexed that without Bob Jones I could not have made sense of this and there's many people that are having Experiences and will have them and they don't have a Bob Jones standing next to them helping them So I've hesitated saying it because people criticize it. Yeah, it feels, you know, just really stupid, you know, I'm at the neighborhood forum The Grandview room couple hundred people asking questions about IHOP One lady stands up and says It was said you went to heaven. Is that true? And of course the whole rooms looking at me you went to heaven I went oh man, you know It's not the context I was expecting to talk about that I Was thinking more of the 10-year anniversary That's the place and I just said yes, I did but this isn't the context She goes no, I want to know what happened. You went to heaven. Of course this whole room half unbelievers half not unbelievers, you know, whatever So I just have hesitated but I just filled the story of the Lord. There are many people there. They don't have a Bob Jones. I Want them encouraged that I'm going to do Unusual things in my spirit that I want them to take seriously and not to write off So I said, okay Lord, I'll I'll say these things But as long as they're biblical experiences So I'm falling in and what happens is then I look over my shoulder and I see my duplex the roof of it. I Am falling through the sky. I don't know if I'm in my body I could feel my arms and I'm touching my arms. I don't know Paul said I don't know if I was or not I'm leaving it there And but I remember I tightened up I went yeah, cuz I'm hitting the roof I go ah, I go right through it But I tightened and I'm wide awake now in my bed I'm positive I look at the clock it's 215 in the morning I see my shoes. I Look at Diane she's sleeping I went I Said No, I'm going this is intense I Lay there You know 1001 1002 and Suddenly the spirit picked me up. I went straight up again. I know I'm awake this time and And the moon is real high and I'm watching I blow straight up then it's equal then it's even It's big and even Then it's gone and then I'm back up in the clouded courtroom Bob called it the courtroom I'm there again. I know I'm awake this time. I'm touching my arms. I go. I know I go I do not know what's happening, but I was here a moment ago, and it was painful. It's not funny at all I go it was it was terrifying to me what happened so suddenly I'm standing there, and I'm just grieving from that experience, but I've had all this sensation of travel The physical sensation of the whole experience now is real I'm standing there and suddenly over at the left There was an opening in this clouded room this you know 30 by 30 50 by 50 room whatever the size was it was a small room It opened and there was a chariot that came came forth a golden chariot and The Lord said to me get in it And I'm transitioning from this severe rebuke to get in the chariot And I walk over there, and I look at the chariot and Fall to the ground and I wept and I said no no no I can't get in it and The Lord says get in it It's been ordained for you, and I'm on the ground and I'm weeping and I said this is injustice That a man like me could be in a chariot This is injustice meaning there's no way I could ever deserve this and I was pained over the injustice of it That my dedication could never measure this Then two angels Picked me up. I'm completely wrung out now. I'm in pain on another entirely different way I was in the pain of a rebuke now I'm in the pain of it was an awful feeling you think well Kind of the pain of humility didn't feel like humility it felt really wrong to me for me to get in it I Remember and I'm saying this this might sound humorous, but I don't mean it to be what I'm gonna say next But when Bob Jones says the Lord's gonna take you face to face in July now. This is August a month later I am actually practicing in my brain in My prayer times I'm practicing Elijah Elisha asked for the double. This isn't a time for false humility When the king stood before Elisha and he hit the ground three times some of you know the story Elisha says you should have hit it more. He should have hit it seven times He only hit it three so he got three measures instead of a lot. I go. I'm gonna hit that ground I mean, this is not a time for false humility I'm practicing. I'm gonna ask for the double anointing If I get a chance, you know, you don't know that you will anyway practicing this and it's not to be proud It's to not have false humility, which is really unbelief. I Was going I'm gonna do it so I get up there he says get in it and I don't say the double I said And I scream and say no So then as I'm in this chariot It takes off and it goes into this vast blue expanse of just miles and miles or it's seemingly in this Blue sapphire expanse and my chariot is going into it and I'm clear It's the revelation of the knowledge of God Of course, that's the agenda on the end time church the revelation of the knowledge of God Ephesians 4 13 That God would bring us to the knowledge of the Son of God as believers We would be brought to a deep knowledge of the Son of God Ephesians 4 13 I'm aware. This is the revelation of God that I'm going to have greater revelation No matter how great your revelation is when we get there It will be a fraction of 1% of all that God has to say about himself But I look over my shoulder because I hear a person Crying out no no behind me, so I look over my shoulder and I see a line of people and a line of chariots and It was like the number Bob Jones said it was more than 20 less than 50. I didn't count I glanced It was 20 30 40 50 of them And it was the group that Bob Jones told me about that the Lord revealed to him the month earlier on July 3rd and They're young people I Don't know that they all were young people, but I know that most of them were and I saw one and he falls on the ground and he cries no No, and the Lord says get in and he goes and Then I see the one behind him the same thing his chair comes up, but he goes no No, so I believe all 30 or 40 or whatever the number is and again that could be a beginning number We don't want to work on that number some people, you know, they they play off that number that that's not the point of it at all I Know this the ones that I saw I could see no faces But I know it's the young people primarily the young people coming out of this movement and there will be other appointments and commissionings for young people in the movements of the earth as well as the older ones as well and I know that they are going to have The spirit of this cry that the word in me was it's in justice It's injustice that I could have this calling because I knew it was a calling to move an apostolic power The to operate in the power of the Apostles did to preach the gospel to heal the sick. I knew that that's what was happening So then what happens I go into this expanse and Suddenly It's over and I'm falling and It's all black and I said to myself in a moment. There's gonna be stars a Moment later, I saw the stars and I said to myself in a moment. There's gonna be the moon Moment later. There's the moon then I'm falling down in the sky and the moon's way The stars are way above me at the top. The moon's real little far above. I look over my shoulder just like the last time I See the roof of our duplex I did the same thing. I went I tied my body went right to the roof Wide awake on the bed like last time but I stay I laid there I go Unbelievable And I look at the clock get this it's still 2 15 in the morning. I don't get that I'm going with Paul whether in the body or out of the body. I have no idea And the Lord wanted me to have the sensation of travel the time all of this because he wanted me to know this was real This is not a kind of an imaginary kind of Minds eye or dream state. This was a true Experience and the point of it being a true experience not for my sake just for my sake though It's been a great encouragement to me, but I know I know there is a movement We're over Donovan Park. I knew there was a movement coming on Blue Ridge Road That would march by Harry S. Truman's property on the way to Arrowhead Stadium, and they would be people that Bob Jones Received information about when the Lord spoke to him. They won't deny the Lord They will keep him high and lifted up. They won't sell out the glory. They won't make compromises in immorality They won't make compromises in money. It will all be the Lord's They will have faith for billions so the harvest can go forth not so they can have bigger houses It's a whole different type of person Using their faith To grow in love and to grow in power that the gospel would go forth in the nation's not using their faith to get more Stuff so they could just kind of coast between now and then So I get up and I just go in the other room and I think I just don't even know how to process what just happened Top of page six The Lord warned me about being impatient paragraph J and again those listening to this by DVD or the Internet these are all on the Internet right now. These notes are this is session two of an eight session series We're going through of telling prophetic stories And again, our point of these stories is to encourage people to press on to God not to have a cool story A cool story means nothing if it doesn't make us resolved in obedience and faith steady and focused in our assignment That's what the prophetic is about make us faithful and steady in our assignment. So we don't go right or the left We stay obedient to the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle Humility we grow in love we bring the gospel to the nation's that's what this is about Now the Lord said be patient Paragraph K. I want you to know that the word patience in the New Testament is Often translated Perseverance in many translations. Sometimes it's patience. Sometimes it's perseverance It means following through what the Lord was saying to me now. I understand it understand it there What he's saying the main undoubtedly he's saying several things But the main thing he's saying above all the other Secondary points of this exhortation because there's always several levels to an exhortation when the Lord gives the exhortation But he was saying don't quit He was saying young man If you quit if you back away from these standards, it will cause harm It will cost turmoil You cannot back away and because now you don't have a heavenly experience Because you get in a bad mood one Saturday and you want to back away. No, there's gonna be pressure coming against this There will be great pressure even within the body of Christ Against this kind of lifestyle great pressure. He said you cannot yield That's what he was saying now 25 years later You can't yield to your flesh and you can't yield to the criticism you have to stay steady in these till the end or if you get in the middle of this and Yield to the fear of man or yield to just a lazy flesh lifestyle. You will cause turmoil to many people Patience is the opposite of quitting patience means perseverance Paragraph L I Have Observed I'm gonna say something really intense to you and I want it. I want you to feel the sting It's what I'm gonna say here. I Have observed over the 25 plus years of preaching this I have observed that most people that are Enthusiastic. I mean they're excited by this message Most of them it's not a scientific number. They stop me the intense ones They stay with it about five to seven years only they stay with it for more than a year or two more than a summer In Kansas City, they stay with it for four or five years Six seven years I've seen very few people stay with it for two decades three decades There are some praise God in the nations. I don't mean stay with our thing. That's not what I'm talking about I'm talking about stay with the high Calling the high a standard of an abandoned a life of abandonment and obedience to God's what I'm talking about Most people they stay with it five six seven years. I'm talking about the intense ones. They're 22 years old I mean, they're on fire. They get married next year. They get married and they make a covenant and now they're 30 Now they're 35 and you could only see traces of these things in their lifestyle their testimony is the same But the traces there's only traces of it in their actual the way they spend time and money and what they do with their heart They were so on fire. I Watched so many hundreds and hundreds and hundreds go through this Every now and then somebody will stay steady for a decade or two or three. I Want you to know this we're the 10 anniversary 10-year anniversary at IHOP Well, this is 27 years later Do I have that right Maybe three, okay, so 27 years later This is the third group of people that I have given this testimony in a full auditorium. I Gave this testimony in the 80s The auditorium was this full jammed We made commitments and commitments and covenants to the Lord We will go to the end of Bob Jones was here the prophetic is were happened The vast majority of them have nothing to do with this 25 years later. I mean they love Jesus, but this For heart standards, it's cool. It's kind of Mike's thing It's neat. We're glad he's doing it. We love Jesus. We love the prophetic. But hey, we gotta be practical I mean life you got to be practical that was in the 80s then in the 90s There's a turnover the room was jammed again, I'm telling the story the place is packed. It's a totally different group about 90% I don't know the number but vastly different than 10 years earlier. Yes to the end to the end Well, most of them nowhere to be found in terms of pressing into this Yeah, they might give verbal assent to the ideas But I'm talking about what they do in their private life the way they spend time the dream of their heart what they talk about And what they do there's barely a trace of these things in their real life Schedule checkbook kind of evidence that they're following it. So now we hear this is the third group This isn't my first time and everyone's going yes Yes And I was saying a spirit of faith. I believe it But in a spirit also of reality. I Before and the room was full and the room was fully sincere, so I hop Hope help me uphold these standards Don't talk me out of them. Don't let me talk you out of them Don't try to find a way to beat the system Well, the leaders aren't looking let's do it different. Don't minimize them. These were spoken by God These aren't this isn't Mike's thing Well, Mike does that no This is God's thing and I'm a servant. I'm just sitting around the table like you this isn't my idea and He will not change these standards for anybody Not for me not for you not for anybody and there will be great resistance. There will be great criticism There will be the rolling of the eyes many false charges of the extreme Accusations against these things they're unnecessary. They're extreme. They're dangerous. They're damaging What are you doing to people's real lives? What about the American dream? This is messing up the American dream in our young people. Yes, it is messing up the American dream Because it's a heavenly vision But I believe I really mean this That you really many of you in this room will go the long haul. I really do believe this middle page six It's come to the last few moments The sands of time vision that Bob Jones had again, he said it's one division. I was there January 79. These are Bob's own words And when I say Bob's own words I've taken them from a transcription when he was giving a testimony of them. He gave this testimony several times he said the Lord took me in a vision to the sands by the sea and He called it the Lord called it the sands of time because the sea speaks of the nations of the earth in the Bible in symbolic language The Lord said in essence like this is Bob. This is the sands of time. He interprets what's happening to Bob And Bob said so it's on this big sea I mean this large beach sand by the seashore and I saw leaders through the generations Now, of course, they're not physically there But he's in the visionary kind of way that only the Holy Spirit understands how this works We don't really get it I saw leaders through the generations and they were putting their hand into the sand and they would find a box They pulled the box out and they were excited and they opened the box and the box was empty the box was empty and I heard them say are The promises for now and it was the promises of the end time glory of God that's what the box spoke of in the boxes it spoke of the promises of the end time move of God and They opened the box and they were empty and it wasn't for their generation Paragraph B that the Lord tells Bob put your hands right here over here and he points to a place Reach down into the sands, but the Lord said the sands of time using the symbolic language pull up a box And Bob says but Lord I've already seen the others. The boxes are all empty. He said do it Bob So he got a box and he opened it up and the boxes was filled With letters. He said it was completely full the number he talks about is 300,000 letters Actually that was in a different context. So that might not exactly mean this As I'm remembering it right now He says I was surprised to see this box it was full of draft notices He pulled one out and on the letter it had a person's name and it said greetings You have been drafted into the army of God and he understood it was the end time army of God And the Lord says I'm going to send out these draft notices Again, the Lord speaks in parables. I don't know why the Lord speaks in parables Except for he makes truth difficult For the stubborn and the proud and the self-satisfied and he makes truth simple and easy For those that are hungry the Lord says I'm gonna send out these letters in other words, I'm gonna I'm gonna send the word out I'm gonna send the Commission out to leaders He says what it costs 20 cents to mail a stamp and that was in 1981 to 1985. I have the details I'm gonna send out draft notices. I'm gonna cause Clarity to come now most of you in this room. We're not even born then So he was not talking about the holy of time army. He was talking about this initial installment of leaders It's when they would receive clarity about their calling. There's many people around the world in that window of time They received a clarity about their calling related to the uniqueness of this generation paragraph D Bob said this will be the end time generation that's foreknown to inherit all things But here's the key part where most of you come in Because this initial leadership in the early 80s and many godly men and women were called before and many call afterwards Oh, by the way, it just comes to mind Ten minutes ago. I just remember something from ten minutes ago when Bob saw this 30 or 40 young people That were called with this apostolic power he saw men and women I want to say this He said the Lord made it clear to him it's men and women now that's a given to us Of course, we know the callings on men and women, but there's others outside of here God is anointing women with apostolic callings. Not just men. Okay, let's come. I just struck my mind just a second We're back to where I was a minute ago Paragraph D page 6 Bob the Lord told him he says their children the children of these people called in the 70s and 80s Their children will attain a level of the spirit Far beyond even their parents and their grandchildren will surpass them So when I first met Bob, he says I'm very interested in your calling young man But he says who I'm really interested in are your sons and their children That's who I'm really interested in because the Bob says I won't be here When it all unfolds, I'll be here at the beginning not just even in Kansas City. He goes this is past my life He told me I'm 27 years old. That's 27 years ago when he's telling me this 1983 he goes Mike you will be one of the oldest people in this movement when this thing comes To a to the level and I said, what do you mean? He goes it's many years from now. It's beyond my day Bob talked about a vision he had once And he called it the Rose of Sharon and I didn't understand this in 1983 He goes I saw on my tombstone. I saw a tomb a grave. It said Bob Jones I know it was past my time and out of this was the most beautiful rose came out of my group Right where I was buried in the dirt. It was this Beautiful rose and the Lord said that's the Rose of Sharon Bob says after my time the Rose of Sharon will blossom. I remember this is 83 We neither of us are thinking song of Solomon bridal paradigm. I go. What is that? He goes, I don't know But the Lord told me that this movement will blossom into the beautiful rose with the fragrance that moves God's heart Be beautiful to God But it will be after my time so beloved I'm not mostly I'm you know, Bob Jones was 53 when I met him. I'm 54 I'm older now than Bob Jones was when I missed it. You are now the young people. I'm the old guy. It's now reversed I'm serious my mission keep you in the middle of the stream. I mean this Your mission 20 30 year olds keep your children, they're the generation that I'm really focused on If we do this thing, right in the next 10 20 years We are gonna have the table laid for my grandchildren that age the ones that are 1 2 3 4 5 the ones that won't be born for 5 or 10 years that Group will have a table to eat from if we are faithful in these decades Bob Joe the Lord told Bob that these children and grandchildren. I'm talking about after those called in the 80s Their children and grandchildren would be the best of all the bloodlines of all their family heritages They will operate in an obedience. The Lord said they will told Bob they will never they won't deny the Lord They will be faithful to the end. It doesn't mean they won't make mistakes. They won't sin But when they sin they will repent and get right back in the race not denying the Lord doesn't mean you won't sin It means when you sin you never make peace with the sin and go I think I'll just do this for a year or two when you sin you stir at it You declare war on it. You call it sin. You repent of it You set your face the other way and beloved you're still Faithful to the Lord meaning you're still in the path of one of those that are not going to deny the Lord Does it mean you won't stumble it means when you stumble you won't settle down and you won't make peace with stumbling The Lord spoke the sins of time to Bob and and here's what Bob said. He says abortion became legal in 1973 This is why it was so important to Bob to prophesy against it But he said Satan is trying to kill the end time children of promise that when Moses was born The devil raised up the killing of babies to cut off the deliver to try to cut off Moses when Jesus was born There was the killing of babies to cut off the deliver 2,000 years later the most unprecedented Slaughter of a generation. The devil is wanting to cut off a generation of promise because they will be deliverers And that's why in both of those experiences Bob was praying or prophesying against abortion Amen and amen Let's stand for just a moment I don't want you to talk. This isn't dismiss yet Just a stand because I'm you need a break for a second You're gonna see a Bob Jones video, but just stand I'm gonna give you 60 seconds to do that and then we're gonna watch this for about 10 minutes Lou I heard your amen over there. Was that you I? Want Lou in the next get I mean Lou guys listen Lou has way more material than I do to work with I Got a lot. I admit it But Lou's got more okay, go ahead have a seat I love my looster We're gonna watch Bob Jones for a few moments, and then we're just going to be finished after that
