about a week ago i brought a message about these scissors they were bob's
from 1945 and i felt in that message if you remember it if you watched it i was
in conversation with an apostolic prophetic man and he had hold of these scissors of mobs
from 1945 and i said you know i didn't think they were sharp that they could cut but they
they could they actually are very sharp i felt they needed uh fresh oil
and you can go back and watch that video if you want but there were other things there
were three other things that this man said to me and i wanted to pray them through before i
brought the word and i believe the lord has given me understanding of what was said in
that dream so the three things and i'll just take them in the order that i received them
one he said to me it's only after you go through a difficult time that you can prosper or be promoted
it was as if you had to experience difficulty or you wouldn't prosper well i didn't agree with
him he made it sound conditional you'd only get promoted if you go through this difficult time
and see i don't i don't believe that i believe that we can be like the children of israel
we can grumble and complain when we're going through a test a time of trial a wilderness
whatever you want to call it a time of transition we can gripe and complain and grumble all we want
and it's going to take us longer what would have been an 11-day journey for them took them 40 years
now if we go through the test and say lord what are you trying to show me in this i may not be
enjoying it but show me what is a lesson i need to learn from this i'm going to praise you regardless
of what it is because i know you are with me and i'm going to praise you through it we're going to
get through it much quicker okay it depends on our mindset so i disagreed with this man
now the second thing he said was he said that he was just getting back from tulsa
well i wondered why tulsa and i began to research proverbs 25 2 says that it's the
glory of god to conceal a matter but it's a glory of kings to search it out so i began searching
why tulsa well i found many interesting things about tulsa tulsa is in the bible belt
actually oklahoma is in the bible belt but tulsa is known as the buccal of that belt
tulsa is known as the oil capital of the world now back in 1901 that's when they had their
first oil strike in a suburb called red fork and then in 1905 they hit a huge geyser in
glen pool which is the south side of tulsa so i found that very interesting is at the turn of the
century oil refineries began to spring up all over tulsa and there were refineries there was texaco
bp amaco sinclair and many others there were a lot of oil tycoons such as j paul getty and a
lot of them there's just a lot of them i don't know some of their names but they lived there
okay it was a very wealthy i'm going to say like boom town because everything was prospering there
and that was early in the after you know 1900 or yeah 1900 now something happened some years later
see it was in the natural first and then came the spiritual oil oriole oral roberts university
came into to being you know oral roberts was known for power evangelism and miracles
and he set up his university there now he died in 2009. kenneth hagin started rhema college there
and you know he was known for faith i mean this man had great faith stories and i believe
prosperity as well but he has a christian call it's still there he died september 2003
t.l osborne he had the good news today tv program he was known for evangelism also for and he's a
musician he died exactly one year before bob did he he died valentine's day 2013. then there was a
lady that bob ministered with several times and he said she was a very accurate prophetess her name
was jeannie wilkerson and she died in april 1987. you know bob had a real grieving in his heart
for this woman because she bob felt that she was going home too soon that the body of christ needed
her but she felt her work was done and she asked her family to release her so she could
go home so we have three fathers of the faith and one great mother of the faith also
all from tulsa and i believe that they sowed great seeds of faith and miracles and
the signs and the wonders and the prophetic they sowed all those seeds there
now the third thing this man spoke to me about was he said he said he didn't have much time at home
as if he's a father he said i haven't had much time at home and he said families are
not functioning well because the fathers are gone too much and i kind of disagreed with
him again i said well many families even if the if the father is home they still
are not functioning well you see there's too many distractions in the world in the home you know
well the devil just works overtime let's put it that way there's so many things kids are
preoccupied instead of being out and getting the exercise they need it's a lot of this
handheld stuff and tv and internet but they're not rooted families are not rooted in christ
i'm not saying everybody but many families are not rooted in christ they're focused on
and rooted in material things they are not led by the holy spirit so it's very it's difficult um
and i believe the lord is wanting to restore families the hearts of the fathers to the
children the children to the fathers but the enemy has got an inroad there
because of so many distractions and he keeps sending more and more and more
so those were the three things now here's what i feel the lord is saying in all of this
there's been a great deposit of oil sewed there in the natural in tulsa but also through these
forerunner ministries yes i'm calling them forerunners because they they have sowed
many seeds but i don't think they've seen the fruit of the seeds that were sown and we are going
to see that come to pass now jeannie wilkerson she prophesied this and this was like 1985 i believe
she said the nations of the world would seek to tap into spiritual resources of
oklahoma and texas in the last days as you say in texas because of the oil as well god has hidden
away in these states great natural resources to generate wealth for his people in the last days
the last great revival of the last days will be financed by much of the wealth from oklahoma
and texas the city of tulsa in the last days would become a feeder station for united states
people would come be fed and go back to their ordained places on the earth with the gospel
message now i'm talking about the full gospel the gospel of the kingdom not a watered-down
gospel tulsa would be a prominent city during the millennial reign of christ because the
great prayer that had arisen through the years from intercessors that have lived in that city
see god has marked tulsa oklahoma he has marked it it has been rich in the oil in the earth
and rich in the move of the holy spirit there have been seeds planted there these men and this woman
and other people that i don't have documentation on but they sowed powerful seeds into that land i
know kenneth copeland is one who went to college there at oru you know he's a great man of faith
too his ministry is not there however he was a student there and another person of great faith
so to sum it up i believe the body of christ is coming out of transition i believe we had
we had to go through a time of transition but we're coming out of it
it's what you do while you're in that test it determines how long you stay in there
are you going to be like the children of israel stay in transition or are you going
to praise the lord and come through it okay it's all up to us it's up to our attitude
we can either walk with the lord or we can walk down trodden and we can be backbiting complaining
grumbling it's what you do individually each one of us are there but we're at different stages
different phases where are you okay it's not too too late for a course correction you know our gps
what does it say when you you set your your your location and then you're driving you make a wrong
turn and it says recalculating well you know what the lord is our gps god's positioning uh station
you know he is the one who's guiding us so all we have to do is repent and go back
get on the right course tulsa is known as the buckle in the bible belt a buckle is a hinge pin
joining two ends together but what are we going to do what are we going to do are we going to
buckle under pressure or are we going to tighten our belt of faith and walk forward
in the things of the lord you know carrying his banner to the finished end can we do that
i believe there's fresh oil on the seat of the anointing that was sown in tulsa
many years ago and there's going to be a resurgence of power coming forth from there
i believe that god has sent men and women from tulsa over the years he sent them to there to be
fed and like jeannie wilkerson said you know to be fed and then sent out but i believe
there's another move of the holy spirit there a fresh anointing falling on tulsa
not just not just the people but in that land i believe there's going to be a resurgence
in the spirit and the earth is going to bubble up like that bubbling crude that uh or what was that
the old guy on tv you know um beverly hillbillies he had that uh the bubbling crude it's gonna come
forth there's gonna be geysers coming out from the earth and coming out from the people those
who walk in the spirit who are led by the spirit and there's going to be such a powerful outpouring
of the holy spirit and it's going to uh you know when that when that crude oil comes up it it goes
straight up and pours out and i think we're going to see that happen so be ready be ready
with your buckets to run there in and catch that crude oil as it comes because i'll tell you it's
god's refinery he's refining each one of us what are we what are we willing to do grumble complain
at the time the father he's turning hearts the fathers to the children the children's hearts to
the father we have got to get grounded and rooted in the word and let christ be our barometer we
have got to let holy spirit guide us and direct us in what we are doing and what we are saying
it's like the time is short and we haven't got the time to fool around any longer you know the
lord says put all foolishness aside and follow me okay children so till next time be blessed
