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

 

Vision of the Apple Tree
By Bob Jones
January 2014

While in a time of praise, Bob saw an apple tree in full bloom. As he prayed for understanding the Lord revealed to him that many people have been in the bud. They have been waiting on promises that go back many, many years. Now the Lord is saying that before the apple tree blooms this spring, their buds shall bloom. Although some of them are ancient promises they will bloom in the spring before the apple tree does and they will begin producing the fruit of righteousness.

Peacemakers Bloom

In the fruit of the spirit prophecy, the apple represents peace. Therefore, this means that a lot of peacemakers shall bloom or come into their divine calling by this spring and they will bring forth the fruit that God has called them to bear. So get ready for the peacemakers to come forth with the fruit of God and reveal the Son of Peace to the world.

The peacemakers that are coming forth in this next season are those who can make peace between the human soul and the Father. As they reveal the Father’s love to the human soul, it will bring stability to the body in every way. Through the administration of these peacemakers, first and foremost, they will bring man’s soul into the place where it can enter into the peace of God. And this peace is beyond all human understanding. They will also enter into the love of God, which will create the fruit that He wants produced in the body now. This is literally the beginning of the fruit that’s needed for harvest.

Phil. 4:7 – And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Peace beyond understanding is what God is offering us. Unfortunately much of the body has seen the Father from a wrong perspective. They see Him as the cruel master and judge instead of being the God of love and justice. Ninety-five percent of the body of Christ thinks the Father is the judge that is squashing them all the time. They accuse the Father of bringing calamity and traumatic situations where in fact it is Satan. The Father simply removes His hand where He is no longer welcome. But now we will begin to see Him as He really is; LOVE and love beyond any expectation of love. When we have peace with the Father then the bloom will begin to turn into fruit. And this fruit will begin to come forth this year yielding more next year and even more the following year.

Armory of God’s LOVE

Jer. 50:25 – The Lord has opened His armory, And has brought out the weapons of His indignation; For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts In the land of the Chaldeans.

God is arming the body of Christ with weapons of His divine love that the enemy has no defense against. We’ll begin to see the army of God come together in unity, a common union, to where the enemy will have to leave entire cities. This army is getting ready to take entire cities and eventually entire states. In certain places in the world, they’ll take entire nations.

This is the year the army of God comes together with angels beyond number and weapons that cannot be defeated by the enemy. Angels are here now preparing the body for the harvest and there will be a mighty victory. This year, even the blooming of the trees is something that Satan can’t stop from happening.

Vision of God’s Armory

In a vision Bob was shown the armory of God that is now open and the Father is releasing weapons of warfare that has never been available to man before. In this vision there were weapons put into my hands that terrorized me to even touch them. There’s nothing in the entire world that can withstand what the Father is bringing out of His armory. Some of the first things He will deal with are in Jeremiah 51. In fact the first thing He’ll deal with is the church that’s been withstanding Him.

Jeremiah 51:20-25 – You [Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] are My battle-ax or maul and weapon of war–for with you I break nations in pieces, with you I destroy kingdoms,

21 With you I break in pieces the horse and his rider, with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer,
22 With you I break in pieces man and woman, with you I break in pieces old man and youth, with you I break in pieces young man and maiden,
23 With you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock, with you I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen, and with you I break in pieces governors and commanders.
24 And I will [completely] repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil that they have done in Zion–before your very eyes [I will do it], says the Lord.
25 Behold, I am against you, says the Lord, O destroying mountain [which is burning out, you who will be as barren and desolate as an extinct volcano], you who [would] destroy the whole earth. I will stretch out My hand over and against you and roll you down from the [burnt] crags and will make you a burnt-out mountain [of combustive fires].

Ministry of the Peacemakers

What He’s doing right now in the church is uniting whosoever will with one another. Because these weapons that’s being released cannot be handled by one person. It will take teams to handle them and usually teams consist of about twelve people. These teams will be united with one purpose in mind and when they go to war they will make decrees and declarations according to the heart of the Father. These decrees will be established according to the will of the Father.

Job 22:28 – You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.

This is what I see; the blooming of the apple tree will be our blooming in the spirit and worshipping the Father in spirit and in truth. It’s our human soul making peace by the knowledge of the Truth. It’s bringing the soul in submission to the spirit and allowing the spirit man to be in control of our conscience (actions, deeds and thoughts). Then the body will understand the Father’s divine nature; love. He loves you! Scripture plainly shows that God loves us; it’s His nature because He is LOVE. (1 John 4:8) The peacemakers’ entire nature will be characterized by His love and love will be the fruit they bear.

Now come the peacemakers and they make peace with God and with man. They show the Father’s nature, LOVE! The love of the Father is all authority to His sons and daughters. I don’t know how fast the fruit is going to mature after they bloom. But I do know that by the middle of May the blooms will be over and the fruit will begin. And from what I see, this fall will be awesome.

With Grace,
Bob Jones
