=== Bob Jones' Prophetic Ministry (06:26) ===

[00:00:00]  In this new book, God's Answers to the Growing Crisis.
[00:00:05]  You've got to have answers.
[00:00:07]  You write that Bob Jones, he prophesied Psalms 27, 4 to you.
[00:00:16]  Can you tell us about that?
[00:00:17]  So it's kind of a set of steps.
[00:00:18]  Yeah, well, some folks don't know about Bob Jones.
[00:00:21]  He went to beat the Lord a few years ago in his 80s, in his mid-80s.
[00:00:26]  But for many years, had a very, very strong prophetic ministry and touched many leaders around the body of Christ.
[00:00:32]  Quite remarkable.
[00:00:33]  But it was 35 years ago.
[00:00:36]  He walks into my office in Kansas City, 1983, almost 35 years ago.
[00:00:42]  I've got this young adult church.
[00:00:44]  I'm in my 20s.
[00:00:45]  He's, you know, about, you know, in 50s, 60s, something like that.
[00:00:50]  To me, he was old, real old.
[00:00:52]  I'm 62.
[00:00:53]  He's younger than I am now.
[00:00:54]  But he walked in.
[00:00:56]  We have this vibrant young adult church.
[00:00:59]  We got lawyers and doctors.
[00:01:01]  We had 10 football players from the Kansas City Chiefs.
[00:01:03]  We had these kind of successful professionals that were doing great and doing awesome.
[00:01:09]  And Bob grew up in the hills of Arkansas and skipped a few steps of education.
[00:01:14]  And his language made that kind of clear that he skipped a few steps.
[00:01:18]  But he walked in my office, kind of the one old guy, because all of our people were in their 20s.
[00:01:23]  And I thought, sir, you know, I said, my name's Mike Bickle.
[00:01:27]  I put my hand out.
[00:01:28]  And he did not shake my hand.
[00:01:31]  He looked up around like that.
[00:01:32]  And I said, my name is Mike Bickle.
[00:01:34]  And he goes, he goes, yep, yep, this is what the Lord was telling me.
[00:01:38]  And I go, excuse me.
[00:01:40]  And he looked at me and he said, I'll just give you the snapshot.
[00:01:44]  It's a quite long story.
[00:01:45]  Like everybody's got a long story.
[00:01:47]  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.
[00:01:55]  And I didn't really, I wasn't really up for that.
[00:01:58]  He didn't look like the type that would give me an intelligent, clear answer about my future.
[00:02:04]  And he said, you're going to have 24-hour prayer with singers and musicians.
[00:02:08]  Wow.
[00:02:09]  Well, I went, uh, I went, wow.
[00:02:12]  I didn't go, wow.
[00:02:13]  Just so you know, I went, what?
[00:02:14]  Yeah.
[00:02:15]  And he said, you're going to have that.
[00:02:16]  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.
[00:02:27]  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.
[00:02:39]  And I thought, what are you talking about?
[00:02:41]  He said, because the reason, because Harriest Truman was an intercessor for the nation of Israel.
[00:02:50]  I go, that means nothing to me.
[00:02:51]  Wow.
[00:02:52]  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.
[00:03:03]  I forgot.
[00:03:04]  He said political.
[00:03:05]  And I said, what are you talking about?
[00:03:07]  He goes, Harriest Truman was there in Kansas City.
[00:03:10]  And I said, well, I kind of knew that.
[00:03:12]  I had to stop and think about it.
[00:03:14]  He goes, he was the man in a singular way that God used to cause Israel to become a nation in 1948.
[00:03:20]  After 2,000 years of being out of the land, God used him in a singular way.
[00:03:25]  I mean, he used others, but Harriet Truman, and he was a political intercessor for Israel.
[00:03:29]  So God's going to put you next to his land.
[00:03:33]  Bob says, I said, on his land, and I said, okay.
[00:03:36]  And it's going to be a sign and a wonder.
[00:03:38]  And I thought, well, you know, our people don't really shop over in that blue-collar part of the God.
[00:03:43]  And he said, I promise you they're going to.
[00:03:44]  And he said, and the next thing, he goes, you've got to understand, he saw smartphones.
[00:03:49]  This is 35 years ago, nearly.
[00:03:52]  He saw smartphones.
[00:03:53]  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.
[00:04:06]  Wow.
[00:04:07]  And I said, and I'm picturing 35 years ago, unplugged TV set, a peasant.
[00:04:13]  He goes all over the rice patties of Asia.
[00:04:15]  I'm picturing this, you know, 20-inch TV set with a cord dragging out in the rice patties.
[00:04:20]  I go, this man is out of his mind.
[00:04:24]  I just looked at him.
[00:04:25]  He said, not only that, he says, when this happens, he goes, they're going to create an abortion pill.
[00:04:32]  And this is 35 years ago.
[00:04:33]  He goes, they're going to take an abortion, take a pill, and have an abortion.
[00:04:37]  And I said, sir, I mean, I'm getting annoyed at him by this time.
[00:04:40]  I go, do you know what an abortion is?
[00:04:43]  He goes, of course I do.
[00:04:45]  And he goes, I said, you can't have an abortion with a pill.
[00:04:48]  He goes, it's coming.
[00:04:50]  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.
[00:04:57]  And he goes, and the other thing, he gave me a handful.
[00:04:59]  I will tell you one more.
[00:05:00]  He said, the homosexuals are coming out of the closets.
[00:05:03]  He told me this 35 years ago.
[00:05:05]  They will be parading in the streets with the support of governments.
[00:05:09]  And I said, you know, none of this made sense.
[00:05:13]  I mean, I was just, I was, that's powerful.
[00:05:15]  I went from being annoyed to perplexed to entertained.
[00:05:19]  I was just kind of laughing at him inside.
[00:05:22]  And then he looked at me and he said.
[00:05:23]  It's just like the president.
[00:05:25]  Nobody says they would.
[00:05:26]  You wouldn't pick the president to be the president, Donald Trump.
[00:05:30]  But you wouldn't pick this man to be the prophet.
[00:05:34]  Well, he had on, it was 80 degrees, 70, 80 degrees.
[00:05:37]  I don't know.
[00:05:37]  It was hot.
[00:05:38]  He had on a winter coat.
[00:05:39]  Yeah.
[00:05:40]  You said he had overalls on.
[00:05:42]  You said he had on high pants and a t-shirt.
[00:05:46]  That was an eighth grade.
[00:05:47]  That was way better when I met him.
[00:05:48]  He had overalls on and a winter coat because the coat was a sign.
[00:05:53]  He wasn't a fashion item.
[00:05:54]  Oh.
[00:05:55]  And he said, he goes, once with a T, I was born with a D, born again, I started seeing open visions.
[00:06:03]  Yeah.
[00:06:03]  Technicolore.
[00:06:04]  And I went, this guy is nuts.
[00:06:06]  It's true.
[00:06:06]  And he said, are you a singer and musician?
[00:06:08]  Again, 35 years ago?
[00:06:09]  And I go, no, no.

=== A Million Dollar Offer (02:21) ===

[00:06:12]  Because I had no interest in this 24-7 thing he's talking about.
[00:06:14]  He goes, he goes, do you ever pray for Israel?
[00:06:16]  And I go, never.
[00:06:18]  Never.
[00:06:19]  He goes, do you have a connection to Asia?
[00:06:21]  Because you're going to have a big connection there.
[00:06:23]  And I went, none.
[00:06:25]  He goes, so you don't know anything I'm talking about?
[00:06:27]  I go, nothing.
[00:06:28]  He said, the Lord told me you'd be dull.
[00:06:30]  I didn't think you'd be this dull.
[00:06:32]  No, he did.
[00:06:34]  He said, he said, this is going to be work.
[00:06:40]  This is going to be work.
[00:06:41]  And I said, what are we talking about?
[00:06:42]  He goes, oh, God, this is going to be work.
[00:06:45]  And I'll just give you 90 more seconds and be done with the story.
[00:06:49]  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.
[00:07:03]  And today it's worth maybe $30, $40 million.
[00:07:06]  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.
[00:07:14]  He goes, we're going to give offer to you for a million dollars.
[00:07:18]  And it's worth a lot more.
[00:07:20]  And they said, just Jewish family.
[00:07:22]  He goes, we're not religious.
[00:07:24]  Our parents died and we want to honor them.
[00:07:27]  And we looked around your ministry and you got all these young families.
[00:07:30]  We don't care about your religion.
[00:07:31]  We just want young couples.
[00:07:33]  And he said, our family bought it, my parents, from Harriest Truman.
[00:07:37]  It was his property.
[00:07:40]  And so I'll get right to the bottom here.
[00:07:43]  This is.
[00:07:43]  Wow.
[00:07:44]  So I'm sitting in the room and they said for a million dollars.
[00:07:47]  And I said, we don't have a million dollars.
[00:07:50]  Man visiting me from out of town says, Mike, I'm an investor.
[00:07:53]  You're not going to believe this.
[00:07:54]  This never happens.
[00:07:55]  I have a million dollars liquid cash in my bank for three years because I always go from investment to investment.
[00:08:01]  I never have it liquid.
[00:08:02]  He goes, I'll give it to you tomorrow.
[00:08:04]  So we, I said, really?
[00:08:06]  So we bought the property.
[00:08:07]  Now, here's the catch, here's the punchline: is that the closing date was January 27th, 2008.
[00:08:15]  And when Harriest Truman sold it to the Jewish family January 27th, 1958, 50 years to the day.
[00:08:21]  50 years to the day, Truman sold it to the family, the Jewish family.
[00:08:26]  They sold it to us.
[00:08:28]  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.
