A flurry of prophetic words have come forth concerning the Kansas City Chiefs' win in Super Bowl LIV, including Bob Jones’ word from the 1980’s. After much prayer and contemplation, I felt it would be good to add my personal prophetic perspective to the composite of words being released.
You may wonder, “Why another word on this subject?”
At this point and time in my life, I feel I am one of the voices that can help to bridge the recent “prophetic past” to the present and into the future. One of the mandates upon my life—confirmed to me in several near death experiences—is to be a voice of prophetic reason in a tumultuous age.
 Yes, I had a lot of personal history in the 1980’s and 90’s with seer parabolic prophet, Bob Jones. He emerged on the scene with his eyes all aglow with heaven’s message, and his socks hanging down to his ankles.
There was no one quite like Bob Jones!
Bob not only talked in parables; he was one.
For those who do not know, I grew up in rural Missouri, graduated from College Central Missouri State University in 1974 and lived in and ministered for years in the Greater Kansas City.
For well over a decade, I had a lot of personal conversations with Bob and did a good deal of prophetic ministry along his side. Yes, I can actually say, “I was there!”
God Speaks in Parables
At times, it seems the prophetic is a foreign language that needs translation, using its own buzz words with symbolic realms that appear to be veiled communication. But then, there is precedent.
All of the prophets of scripture and Jesus himself taught in parables.
Hosea 12:10 states, “I have also spoken to the prophets, and I gave numerous visions, and through the prophets I gave parables.”
Matthew 13:34, explains, “All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.”
Then in Mark 4:33 we gain more understanding, “With many such parables He was speaking the word to them, so far as they were able to hear it.”
So, I think we better just accept the fact that these are some of the wonderful and sometimes mysterious ways of the Holy Spirit.
God still speaks in parables today!
Some Background to Bob Jones’ Prophetic Word
Before I proceed any further, I want to acknowledge the research and stewardship by friends of mine who have already given expression concerning the strategic words about the Kansas City Chiefs’ win in the recent Super Bowl.
In particular, I want to give a shout out to Wesley and Stacey Campbell, Shawn Bolz, Bob Hartley, Johnny Enlow and others. Thank you for your contribution.
Now here is my personal piece as well.
Michal Ann and I first met Bob Jones during the historic Joel’s Army Fast that the young revivalist, Mike Bickle, called forth in Kansas City in May of 1983...
