The Burning Bush
Category: Prophetic Words
When God launched "The Cause," on this prophetic journey to pray for the ending of abortion, we received a dream that Bob Jones would meet with us, and thrust us forth on our mission. Our company of 70, spent two days with this prophet before embarking on the prayer journey, "The Trail of Tears."
He gave us a defining word. He said, 'We need to have the eagles (the prophets), who see the vision in the spirit, but we have to have the honkers (the wild geese intercessors), who fly in 'V' formation, to breakthrough in the second heaven, and pray the vision of the eagles into being." Intercessors are the stewards of the prophetic promises of the church, and we made a commitment as a ministry to pray through Bob Jones' visions and dreams.
Bob Jones received a vision in 1999, that the "Burning Bush" would come out of Texas, and in the second half of his second term, if the church would pray, he would do much to end abortion, restrain homosexual marriage, and bring prayer back to the schools in America. We believe that we are in a decisive moment of the fulfilling of that dream/vision right now. The favor of President George Bush is at the lowest point ever at this moment. Maybe not with God, but in the view of the American people. We just met with a U.S. Senator, who confirms to us, that almost everything positive seems to be retained and held back on Capitol Hill right now.
The 2006 elections may hinge on the perspective that the people of America hold for President George Bush. And the results of the 2006 elections, may either help or hinder President George Bush from fulfilling God's intention for his presidency. Wherever I go, I can feel the attitude of resignation, criticism, and despair, but the second half of George Bush's second term, is not yet here. The question is, will the church give up and yield to opinion polls, criticism, and acquiescence, or will the church pray according to the vision, and believe the prophets and succeed? Bob Jones' word was, "...if the church would pray...."
Praying Prepares Us For Battle
Right now, we could be in a moment like the battle for Dunkirk in World War II where, "...everything looked like certain disaster for England and the allied troops." In his journal entry on May 22, Rees Howells said, "The world is in a panic today and certainly we would be too, unless we were sure the Lord has spoken to us. The destiny of England will be at stake today and tomorrow. In a battle such as we are in today, you cannot trust in a meeting or in feelings. We must go back to what God has told us. There is an enemy that we must keep in check until God does the big thing." Then on May 30, Rees Howells wrote, "From a worldly standpoint, there is no hope of victory, but God has said it. Instead of bad news about our soldiers, if He is on the field of battle, He can change that and make it very good news."
