Bob Jones' Prophetic Ministry 00:06:26
In this new book, God's Answers to the Growing Crisis.
You've got to have answers.
You write that Bob Jones, he prophesied Psalms 27, 4 to you.
Can you tell us about that?
So it's kind of a set of steps.
Yeah, well, some folks don't know about Bob Jones.
He went to beat the Lord a few years ago in his 80s, in his mid-80s.
But for many years, had a very, very strong prophetic ministry and touched many leaders around the body of Christ.
Quite remarkable.
But it was 35 years ago.
He walks into my office in Kansas City, 1983, almost 35 years ago.
I've got this young adult church.
I'm in my 20s.
He's, you know, about, you know, in 50s, 60s, something like that.
To me, he was old, real old.
I'm 62.
He's younger than I am now.
But he walked in.
We have this vibrant young adult church.
We got lawyers and doctors.
We had 10 football players from the Kansas City Chiefs.
We had these kind of successful professionals that were doing great and doing awesome.
And Bob grew up in the hills of Arkansas and skipped a few steps of education.
And his language made that kind of clear that he skipped a few steps.
But he walked in my office, kind of the one old guy, because all of our people were in their 20s.
And I thought, sir, you know, I said, my name's Mike Bickle.
I put my hand out.
And he did not shake my hand.
He looked up around like that.
And I said, my name is Mike Bickle.
And he goes, he goes, yep, yep, this is what the Lord was telling me.
And I go, excuse me.
And he looked at me and he said, I'll just give you the snapshot.
It's a quite long story.
Like everybody's got a long story.
But he said, I'm going to tell you where you're going in the future and what the Lord's going to put in front of you.
And I didn't really, I wasn't really up for that.
He didn't look like the type that would give me an intelligent, clear answer about my future.
And he said, you're going to have 24-hour prayer with singers and musicians.
Wow.
Well, I went, uh, I went, wow.
I didn't go, wow.
Just so you know, I went, what?
Yeah.
And he said, you're going to have that.
He goes, number one, number two, he said, the Lord's going to move you from the wealthy part of Kansas City where he had all these, I mean, a lot of top young leaders, a lot of successful economically.
He goes, he's going to move you from here to the other side of town to this blue-collar community because Harriest Truman lived there.
And I thought, what are you talking about?
He said, because the reason, because Harriest Truman was an intercessor for the nation of Israel.
I go, that means nothing to me.
Wow.
He goes, and when you have singers and musicians in the years to come, you're going to be spiritual intercessors for the nation of Israel like Harriest Truman was a political intercessor.
I forgot.
He said political.
And I said, what are you talking about?
He goes, Harriest Truman was there in Kansas City.
And I said, well, I kind of knew that.
I had to stop and think about it.
He goes, he was the man in a singular way that God used to cause Israel to become a nation in 1948.
After 2,000 years of being out of the land, God used him in a singular way.
I mean, he used others, but Harriet Truman, and he was a political intercessor for Israel.
So God's going to put you next to his land.
Bob says, I said, on his land, and I said, okay.
And it's going to be a sign and a wonder.
And I thought, well, you know, our people don't really shop over in that blue-collar part of the God.
And he said, I promise you they're going to.
And he said, and the next thing, he goes, you've got to understand, he saw smartphones.
This is 35 years ago, nearly.
He saw smartphones.
And he said, I go, he goes, all over Asia, they're going to have unplugged TV sets in their hands watching the singers and musicians in Grandview, Missouri on Harriest Truman's property.
Wow.
And I said, and I'm picturing 35 years ago, unplugged TV set, a peasant.
He goes all over the rice patties of Asia.
I'm picturing this, you know, 20-inch TV set with a cord dragging out in the rice patties.
I go, this man is out of his mind.
I just looked at him.
He said, not only that, he says, when this happens, he goes, they're going to create an abortion pill.
And this is 35 years ago.
He goes, they're going to take an abortion, take a pill, and have an abortion.
And I said, sir, I mean, I'm getting annoyed at him by this time.
I go, do you know what an abortion is?
He goes, of course I do.
And he goes, I said, you can't have an abortion with a pill.
He goes, it's coming.
When you're singing on Harriet Truman's property and they're watching you all over Asia on unplugged TV sets, you will see it.
And he goes, and the other thing, he gave me a handful.
I will tell you one more.
He said, the homosexuals are coming out of the closets.
He told me this 35 years ago.
They will be parading in the streets with the support of governments.
And I said, you know, none of this made sense.
I mean, I was just, I was, that's powerful.
I went from being annoyed to perplexed to entertained.
I was just kind of laughing at him inside.
And then he looked at me and he said.
It's just like the president.
Nobody says they would.
You wouldn't pick the president to be the president, Donald Trump.
But you wouldn't pick this man to be the prophet.
Well, he had on, it was 80 degrees, 70, 80 degrees.
I don't know.
It was hot.
He had on a winter coat.
Yeah.
You said he had overalls on.
You said he had on high pants and a t-shirt.
That was an eighth grade.
That was way better when I met him.
He had overalls on and a winter coat because the coat was a sign.
He wasn't a fashion item.
Oh.
And he said, he goes, once with a T, I was born with a D, born again, I started seeing open visions.
Yeah.
Technicolore.
And I went, this guy is nuts.
It's true.
And he said, are you a singer and musician?
Again, 35 years ago?
And I go, no, no.
A Million Dollar Offer 00:02:21
Because I had no interest in this 24-7 thing he's talking about.
He goes, he goes, do you ever pray for Israel?
And I go, never.
Never.
He goes, do you have a connection to Asia?
Because you're going to have a big connection there.
And I went, none.
He goes, so you don't know anything I'm talking about?
I go, nothing.
He said, the Lord told me you'd be dull.
I didn't think you'd be this dull.
No, he did.
He said, he said, this is going to be work.
This is going to be work.
And I said, what are we talking about?
He goes, oh, God, this is going to be work.
And I'll just give you 90 more seconds and be done with the story.
25 years later, 2008, a Jewish couple walked into the IHOP facility, a Jewish couple, and said, hey, we've got this 125 acres right on the highway on an interstate.
And today it's worth maybe $30, $40 million.
I don't really know, but it's right on an interstate, 125 acres in an area that's thriving, I mean, growing and economically and all these things.
He goes, we're going to give offer to you for a million dollars.
And it's worth a lot more.
And they said, just Jewish family.
He goes, we're not religious.
Our parents died and we want to honor them.
And we looked around your ministry and you got all these young families.
We don't care about your religion.
We just want young couples.
And he said, our family bought it, my parents, from Harriest Truman.
It was his property.
And so I'll get right to the bottom here.
This is.
Wow.
So I'm sitting in the room and they said for a million dollars.
And I said, we don't have a million dollars.
Man visiting me from out of town says, Mike, I'm an investor.
You're not going to believe this.
This never happens.
I have a million dollars liquid cash in my bank for three years because I always go from investment to investment.
I never have it liquid.
He goes, I'll give it to you tomorrow.
So we, I said, really?
So we bought the property.
Now, here's the catch, here's the punchline: is that the closing date was January 27th, 2008.
And when Harriest Truman sold it to the Jewish family January 27th, 1958, 50 years to the day.
50 years to the day, Truman sold it to the family, the Jewish family.
They sold it to us.
And the man to the day, and the man that gave us the million dollars from out of town, he said, He gave it to you.
