i have an interesting uh story to share with you today it's regarding an old baseball prophecy
that bob had from 1985 uh the kansas city royals against the st louis cardinals now
the other day i had a dream that's how this came into my memory that bob had this prophecy
in my dream i saw the opponents team satan's team was on the field they had excellent pitching see
satan was pitching the ball of himself because he's been used to pitching stuff at christians
for a long time so the lord's team was up to bat and the thing is they had to out out-hit
satan's team now satan he built his team as having riches they had big homes they
had fancy cars they had furs and diamonds and they were just exalting themselves in every way
but i knew that the lord's team had to out-hit satan's team so i woke up from that and i said
i know this is bob's baseball prophecy in fact he had it in 85 and again 95 but i just want
to share the one with the kansas city royals for today in it was may 21st of 1985 is when bob gave
this prophecy and it's because of this prophecy that's when we were married on that date in 06. so
bob brought this word he saw the the lord showed him how the kansas city royals were in the
basement but that they were going to come forth come out of the basement and they were going to go
on to win the world series well when bob brought that word they thought he was crazy and of course
you know he's a false prophet but in reality that's exactly what happened so i'm going to share
some of this with you and um there's a lot more that i won't share but for the sake of time and
what have you this is what he saw in the vision he saw that it was the last half of the ninth inning
and satan's team was in the field and the lord's team was at bat see just like my dream and the
lord's team had two outs so the lord sent in his first batter and this batter's name was
love so satan pitched the ball and love swung and it was a base hit so you've got one on so
bob said love is the basis of all christianity everything we should do should be rooted in love
and he said i believe that it's a time that christians are going to begin to know how to
have love one for another so the first batter is love and the second batter comes up faith works
by love so the lord said in the second batter his name is faith faith pleases god and it can't fail
so satan pitched the ball faith swung base hit gut two on so now the lord brings in his third batter
and his name was godly wisdom and satan pitches the ball god wisdom looked it over and let it pass
again satan pitches the ball godly wisdom looks it over lets it pass and even the third time
he pitches looks it over lets it pass you see godly wisdom won't swing at what satan is throwing
at him he discerns okay so many times this is what bob said many times satan's throws his things and
that our tongue can speak but godly wisdom won't allow it see it's called bridle in your tongue
many times godly wisdom is in our ambitions and everything because the enemy opens doors
the holy spirit is not opening for us you know god opens doors that no man can open and close
his doors no man can close but the enemy will get you off tracks as we have to have
godly wisdom and discernment so we enter those doors by not discerning whether
what the lord wants us to do you know if we should go through that door or not
so godly wisdom he looks over all these passes and now the bases are loaded
and so we have uh see love is on third base faith is on second base and godly wisdom is on first
base so bases are loaded and now the lord brings in a pitch hitter but nobody's ever seen him
before bob said i don't think this generation has seen him his name is great grace so satan winds up
and pitches it was a tremendous hit and satan's hollering don't worry about it i've got bells
above his inner field and he never lets the fly go by let's see belzebub he's the lord of the flies
he is not going to let this ball go by so belzebub goes up to get the ball and he's hollering i got
it i got it but it went right through his glove came down and banged him on the head so bells
and bobs down on the ground home run grand slam okay so now bob said why didn't love faith and
godly wisdom get you through they are only steps to prepare you for great grace and great grace
will get you home the others will get you on base but great grace will get you home so in reality
the kansas city royals they did they went on to win that series they started out they lost
the first two games and they were at home they lost the first first two games they won the third
game then going into the seventh game they were um they were tied up 3-3 so one of them's got to win
but can you believe they scored 11 runs it was 11 to zero in that last game and it was
played it was played at the kansas city royals stadium so it was the 17th season
and they won their first world series now that in itself okay 11 this was 11 runs that they had
and 11 is like god stretching forth his hand a second time and it was the 17th season
that's god's divine order so i think you know like i said this was just uh what the vision i had the
other day or the dream i had it was just very clear the lord is speaking again to the church
you know this is his baseball we are in baseball season right now but this is his baseball field
and the enemy is sure swinging stuff at us you know he's throwing hurling balls at us
all the time and trying to get us to align with him but we if we walk in love and faith works
by love so we walk in love and by faith faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of god
staying grounded and rooted in the word of god and uh and having godly wisdom boy if we don't
have godly wisdom you are going to get so far off track it's going to be hard to get back on
but you know we need godly wisdom and great grace great grace is upon the body of christ right now
you know we need to stay always with a repentant heart and uh you know when we
we have good discernment we need to pray for it but as you discern that you're doing something
that's not in right alignment with the lord just you know it's just easy
repent of it turn from it and go the other way and the quicker that you make that turn the easier
it's going to be to get back on track if you just keep going and going going on the wrong path
then it's going to take time for you to get back the right direction i mean repentance will always
turn you back in the right direction but well i said that was really interesting there's more to
it bob had uh the same basic same prophecy for the um in 1995 for the atlanta braves
and the cleveland indians and in that it ended up being uh you know the last man
up to bat for the atlanta braves was a man named david justice isn't that interesting
can you believe they traded him from cleveland indians and but when he came up they were tied up
in the bottom of the ninth and he hit a home run and they won it was david's justice but there's
more to that story too anyhow i wanted to share that with you don't swing at what the the enemies
thrown at you okay discern it walk in wisdom and great grace all right until next time be blessed
