A Tribute to Seer Prophet Bob Jones - James W. Goll, Encounters Network


A Tribute to Seer Prophet Bob Jones

February 19th, 2014
  
From the Desk of James W. Goll

On February 14th, 2014, Valentine's Day, heaven gave a shout as Bob Jones, prophetic Papa to many a friend of Jesus, graduated from this earthbound life, sprouted wings, and flew through the OPEN DOOR. After all, this is the Year of the Open Door! How fitting for this giant to ascend on the day set aside to express love. He is now forever joined with his first love - Jesus.

I first met Bob Jones during Mike Bickle's infamous Joel's Army 21 Fast in May of 1983 in Kansas City, Missouri. I had already prayed for ten years for the School of the Prophets to come forth. Little did I know the collision course I was aligning myself with that day. Mercy! Michal Ann's and my life was suddenly redirected with that singular initial meeting with this unusual man who seemed to live in the heavenlies.

Ann was pregnant with our first son Justin. Bob placed his hands on her that day and pronounced a father's blessing on one that he would later call his grandson - after all he carried his Grandpa's DNA! Strange beginnings indeed. An amazing roller coaster ride journey began as I was then honored to sit at Bob's right hand side in the formative years of what became known globally as The Kansas City Prophets. Historic! Ground breaking! And, yes, costly!

Today, Bob is seated in the heavenly places and I can only imagine the scenes he views from this higher dimension. I wonder if he has interviewed the four living creatures yet? I wonder if he and my Annie have embraced. This dear man possibly touched more leaders with the prophetic seer anointing than any other person in recent church history.

I have had a variety of mentors in my life for different areas of ministry in my 61 years. But by far, the man of God that impacted my revelatory journey the most was Seer Prophet Bob Jones.

Today, I pause to thank the Lord for the life and ministry of Papa Bob Jones. I give honor to whom honor is due. You wrecked my life, Bob, and I have never successfully recovered. Thanks a lot! You finished well dear friend. You learned to love! May we who are left to carry on learn to receive and release that same contagious love of God.

With Gratitude from a Son in the Faith,

James W. Goll

Chuck Pierce: He is Ready to Shake all that Can be Shaken

Chuck Pierce and Barbara Wentroble: Invite the Lord to Change Your Atmosphere! He is Ready to Shake all that Can be Shaken!

Chuck Pierce just sent out this short yet potent prophecy by him and Barbara Wentroble which was prophesied last Sunday. It's a powerful word as you'll read below.

God IS making His Church ready and that includes shakings when the Body needs them. Be encouraged by this statement: "As I shake and as I open, I Am releasing a new dimension of My Glory!"

Read this word and seek the Lord in how you can make yourself ready.

Blessings,

Chuck D. PierceInvite the Lord to Change Your Atmosphere! He is Ready to Shake all that Can be Shaken!

During worship on Sunday, there was a strong prophetic anointing.Barbara Wentroble joined me in prophesying:

Barbara Wentroble"If you will invite Me down this week then I will enter your atmosphere and change that which you've been trying to change

I have power and strength to overcome, and if you will invite Me in, you will overcome this week and deliverance will come to you!

"For I AM a God who is shaking everything that can be shaken. This is a season you shall shake; you shall see Me shake everything that would hold back My coming Glory

I shall shake the gainsayers; I shall shake the mockers, and I shall shake those that would oppose and stand against this that I have prepared for this season. Watch Me begin to shake that which seemed unshakable, in days past.

"For this is a turn-around season

I'm getting ready to turn around some things that would not turn. I'm getting ready to turn the vault on the door that would not open. Watch Me turn the bolt and open the door, and watch Me shake the unshakable. Watch Me release that which I have said in days past – that the Glory of this latter house would be greater than the Glory of the former. As I shake and as I open, I Am releasing a new dimension of My Glory!"

Blessings,

James Goll: Season of Turmoil, Upheaval and Contention Will Bring Change



Open Door
This Hebrew New Year has been proclaimed the "Year of the Open Door." (Abyla for rgstock.com)
Many have proclaimed this New Hebrew Year, 5774, the "Year of the Open Door." While I concur with that, I often look at things from an additional perspective that includes not only the revelation of the Holy Spirit but the ways of God. So, if it is the "Year of the Open Door," then it is helpful to ask: "What are the requirements to go from one stage to the next?" We need to consider: "To go through an open door, do you have to close some old doors first?"
I personally believe we are in a season of turmoil, upheaval and contention—resulting in change. We are at a crossroads of change. This is true politically in the Middle East, in the United States and in many other nations.
There are issues—such as global economics, the very moral foundation of this generation, concerns of social justice, required change in the body of Christ, and all the ramifications these bring into our personal lives and families. We truly need grace for this transition!
So, let's go on a journey together and see if we find some principles that will help us go from "promise revealed" to "promise fulfilled."
From Narrow to Transition to Enlargement
We are in a process of change. The government of the church is changing. Our authority level is changing. Our gifts are being drawn out of us in stretching dimensions. We have been and are going through places of testing and confinement in the body called a "narrow place."
What is this narrow place? This is a place less wide than we are accustomed to or have expected to be in. If we respond properly to the narrow or confined place, we will enter into the phase of transition to be brought into a larger place in the Spirit.
The new place is like the camel going through the eye of the needle. One school of thought is that it was a narrow gate. The only way a camel could get through it was to be unloaded. This is the needle—the narrow gate. This is a place of unloading the weights of the past and a place of fresh commitment to the cross, where we die to self all over again. The "narrow place" can lead us out of captivity into a new and open field.
How Can We Make the Transition?
Transition means "to pass from one condition into another." Transition times are when the Lord redefines and makes adjustments necessary for us to move forward. He gives us new focus and direction. He teaches us about Himself in a new way.
A transition, in a literary sense, is the phrase that connects the past communication or paragraph with the future thought. We must seek the Lord for revelation and the ways of God in times of change. His revelatory perspective bridges the past season with the new one. Without clear revelation and communication during transition, we can lose the strength and wisdom of our past victory. But we desperately need His strength to go from glory to glory.
At the time of birth, transition is the most difficult time. This is the time when the woman feels she cannot go any further. Only the vision of the child to come causes the endurance and perseverance toward the ultimate goal of a lineage and legacy being secured.
It isn't the new thing coming that is so hard to deal with; it's the transition from the old state of affairs to the new one. How we respond during the time of transition before the new birth makes all the difference.
As you travail in this season, ask the Lord to give you strategy to protect your vision. Remember, the dragon attempts to steal new birth (Rev. 12:4). Press forward! Cry out for greater grace to be granted to you to keep moving forward.
When these changes manifest, enlargement occurs. To enlarge is to expand, to set free, to become greater in size and intensity. Enlargement—or going through the new open door—is a process, not just a proclamation. Press through the narrow, withstand the transition, and receive enlargement. 
The Process of Change
Here are few thoughts on the process of change:
1. A new level of revelation is released.
2. Your present vision starts to be adjusted.
3. New vision is secured and established.
4. A mantle of restoration is placed upon you.
5. You go through the healing process concerning things of the past.
6. A new identity is developed within you.
7. Fresh strategies are revealed to you.
8. You see a greater fullness of your inheritance before you.
9. You have the strength to overthrow your enemies.
10. You secure your new inheritance.
Observing from my own prayer posture in life and ministry experience, if you are experiencing a narrow place of confinement or you sense you are in transition, be assured. He is about to visit you with a fresh demonstration of His Spirit! May your resources increase and your trials become stepping stones to renewed power and revelation.
And know this: When you have come through the "new door," there are others who have been watching your pilgrimage. When you are strengthened, you will be enlarged to strengthen others in Jesus' name!

A Kairos Moment: The Door Is Open

Bill Yount 
Posted: 27 Jun 2013

Kairos: "The appointed time in the purpose of God." The time when God acts.

We have entered a unique kairos moment. God has heard our cries for, "Why not now? Why not here?" Godly secrets of the heart will be manifested. Our moment to change history has arrived. It will explain why we haven't been heard from yet. 

I sense strongly a couple of those God moments taking place on the earth. For one: There will be those who will change history with a pen. An innocent pen will become the axis that will turn the world upside down and birth a nation in a day. ( Isaiah 66:8 )  

And the other one: Many who have wept long lonely nights will discover that their tears were seeds of flowers that are now blooming for their wedding day. Many will discover their once-in-a-life time moment and why they were born. The door is open!

 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." St. John 21:25

I saw gold pens falling from heaven as though they were thrown by the angels. They were hurled like javelins into the hands of unknown people. These pens turned into spears and swords as they fell into these hands. As their fingers began to write; books, songs and poetry were becoming lethal weapons to war against the enemy! 

Psalm 144:1 was being activated throughout the earth! "Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight!" Is there a book in you? A song stirring in your heart? Poetry that keeps coming to the surface? Perhaps the Lord is calling you this hour to pick up your pen!

Long awaited 'end-time' weddings will take place upon the earth, preceding the greatest wedding in the Universe.

I saw veils of singleness that had been covering many single men and women for years, in spite of their desire to marry. These veils were actually covering them to protect and hide them from wrong relationships. Many had thought, "What's wrong with me? No one seems to notice me or even look at me." But I saw the wisdom of God hard at work to preserve these chosen ones for the person whom the Lord was preparing and keeping separate for them. 

I sensed the Father saying to their guardian angels, "Begin to lift the veils of 'singleness' off of their faces. It's time for them to see and be seen by the ones whom I have ordained for them. As I sent an angel to direct the steps of Isaac's servant to find Rebecca for him, I am sending angels before them to guide them."

 I've noticed a pattern that weaves through my life. After seasons of living in obscurity a kairos moment thrusts me to a higher, more noble place. There I discover God had been using me all along, perhaps even most in those seasons when I felt like quitting.

Blessings,
Bill Yount
