the sands of time

By bob Jones

The Lord took me to a place and I saw the great prophets of the Bible. I saw Elijah, Elisha, I saw all the prophets of the Old Testament. I was the apostle John, the martyrs. And they’d all been told by the Lord to stick their hands into the sand of time.

As I watch them, they would pick up a shoebox. One of them was the Apostle Paul. And he brought the shoebox up and he said, “It’s my time.” The apostle Paul believed that what was going to happen now! was going to happen in his time. And he opened the shoebox, and it was empty. And so another prophet came behind him. And the Lord said, “Stick your hand into the sand of time.” Every prophet they all believed it was going to take place in their time and it did to a measure because all the wisdom that is down here now comes through these men and each one added something to the sands of time.

It came my time and He said, put your hands in the sands of time and pull up the shoebox. And I said, “Why Lord? Everybody else has done it and they were empty shoeboxes?” And He said, “Do as I told you.” So, I put my hand in the sands of time and pulled the shoebox up and I opened it. And it said, “Greetings, you have been inducted into the army of God.” But these white envelopes were induction notices, they didn’t have stamps, and at this time in the United States, as I remember, it costs 11 cents to mail a letter. And the Lord said, “I will mail these letters when it costs 20 cents to mail a letter.” Well, nobody believed that stamps will ever go up again. For it had gone up from 3 cents to 11.

But then on October 13th of 1981, it cost 20 cents to mail a letter.

And the Lord said, everyone that was conceived that was in the womb or nine months before was lured in the army of the Lord. The first would be leaders and the second will be great armies that nothing could stop. And when they reach the age of maturity, I’m going to begin to release them in power. They are an army that is My army, and they cannot be stopped. I will arm them out of my armory in heaven. There is no gift that I will deny them. They will literally pull down the warehouse of God. And they will have no fear of the enemy whatsoever. These are the ones who will glorify Me beyond anything that has ever been. For they are mine, they will represent me in my holiness, in my compassion. This is what is going to happen, the building of an Army of Youth. They aren’t afraid to die, Satan has no control over you at all. You become holy terror-taker. It’s a lot easier to die for Christ than it is to live for Him. They would even do the greater things. They’ll live for Him.

-an excerpt from Arise and Shine Journals

whew! We are the generation that has been told in that journal.. those born from the start of 1981.. haha!!! That’s our destiny! To be mighty army of God…! He is indeed raising up this generation… that’s why I wonder why a lot of things are happening like abortion, pornography, homosexuality, are happening in this generation… that’s because the enemy is afraid to this generation!!! But the gates of hell will never prevail as the soldiers of God advance His kingdom!!!
