THE LIGHTHOUSE VISION

A Prophetic Word for the Gulf Coast by Bob Jones

Written by Paul Keith Davis

August 1, 1994

(NOTE: This prophetic word for the Gulf Coast was first released in the summer of 1994. We are reposting it now in its original form because there are elements of it that have not yet been fulfilled that we believe are imminently facing this region. The format and language could be improved considerably but I left it as originally written for authenticity. Much of it is in symbol form but the meaning should be clear.)

In this vision I was told that pastor Cho from South Korea gave a prophecy for Pensacola, Florida and the prophecy is true and will shortly come to pass releasing a new move of the Spirit. The Lord said that he is going to transfer “Prayer Mountain” to Pensacola, Florida and a powerful move of God is going to the birthed from it. I am not aware of it in the natural, but I was told in the vision that he (Cho) received this revelation and brought the prophecy in a number of places.

I was told that this outpouring will produce repentance leading to true Godly righteousness producing power evangelism. The Lord said he wants to restore the Lighthouse in the Pensacola area bringing a sanctifying light to the leadership’s. It is actually an invitation or opportunity for the Pensacola region to restore this Lighthouse and produce a great light that will begin a move of God that will eventually cover this entire nation.

I actually saw the lighthouse; it was a very old lighthouse that had been there a long time. In times past it had been a good lighthouse providing adequate light to prevent shipwrecks.

However, “vandals” had entered the lighthouse and vandalized the entire lighthouse destroying the lights and causing great damage to the lighthouse. Though it had kept ships from wrecking previously, now shipwrecks were happening all over the area. These shipwrecks were “ships of state” of churches or in other words they were leader-SHIP’S of churches.

One after another of the church leadership was being destroyed on the shore because they had no major light. These vandals had entered and extinguished the lights and written all kinds of propaganda on the walls that were not from the Lord. They had written a variety of manmade slogans, slang, and slurs.

The Lord is saying “I’ll give this lighthouse to any sincere person who will come and begin to clean it up and put light back in the lighthouse again”. This light must be the light of the law and the lawgiver is Isaiah 33:22. This light must be the inspired light of God and the Lord is saying He will give the inspiration through man to provide the light. If man will again begin to bring His inspired word, it will furnish light to those leaderships. These ships have the goods, all they need now is the light of God’s inspired word to prevent shipwrecks. The Lord said He will provide the light to keep them from sinking, then we can go back and salvage what has been lost at sea.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us. (Isaiah 33:22)

 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

Make this area the Guardian of the Gulf once again, as in the past. Only recently have I understood what the vandals are. They are Christian zealots that are not going by the light of God. (Romans 10:2-3) The “light” is the inspired Word of God and these lawless vandals are destroying the light and writing their own meaning and interpretations, bringing great darkness to the churches.

What we need is the brightness of God’s light to return to the lighthouse, the inspired Word of the living God. The lighthouse is the glory… the law of light will bring the Tree of Life which is the Glory of God. This glory will reveal the straight and narrow way again. A group of ministers anointed with the revelation gifts imparting hope to this area.

The day after this vision the Lord showed another vision of an old temple that had been there a long time with very old stones. I was taken to the top of this old temple and led to the edge of the roofline. I had to be very cautious and watch carefully where I placed my feet so much so that I didn’t want to see the vision as much I wanted to carefully watch where I placed my feet. It was Bobby that gave me the interpretation of this portion of the vision. The scriptures tell us that when you come into the Temple of the Lord you are very careful where you put your feet.

While on top of the temple the Lord showed me cabinets and I asked the Lord, “why do you have cabinets up here Lord?” He said open them… I saw that they were totally empty. When I looked into the cabinets the Lord said, “I’m putting My leadership in this cabinet”.

When I asked the Lord why He was placing leadership in this cabinet He stated that He was going to place 700 of His ministers in this cabinet each with different types of gifting’s. For instance, if someone needed healing, at least one person would possess the gift of healing, if another needed a miracle then another would be gifted with miracles. Therefore, these ministers became the cabinet of the Lord and whatever the people needed could be found in this cabinet. The 700 ministers became the supplies in the cabinet of the Lord. There will be a place of preparation in this area for the purpose of equipping these 700 to provide the Lord’s supply.

I later received the interpretation of the cabinet as that of government. For instance, our president has placed around him men of leadership and they are called his cabinet. The Lord’s cabinet is these 700 brothers and sisters coming together in agreement drawn by The Holy Spirit. When this cabinet is formed and complete, they’ll be able to meet the needs of the people for they will be the cabinet of the Lord and will begin to do the work of the temple as during the days of Solomon. It was during those days that the Glory returned to the temple.

It was a fearful thing that the Lord was showing in the vision, for you could seemingly see forever, yet I was reluctant to look that far into the distance and instead concentrated on observing one step at a time. Nevertheless, God is assembling Himself a cabinet to do His bidding.

These 700 ministers were sufficient to minister to 250,000 people at one time. The Lord’s “Woodstock”. I saw crowds so sizable that you couldn’t number them. It appeared that they were forming in an open field, but the Lord is also going to begin filling auditoriums and bring these 700 ministers together in unity without strife to begin doing the work of the Lord.

The Lord gave Acts 13:22, Psalms 89:20 and Isaiah 44:28 as a support in scripture. Men and women in unity, who will perform the will of the Lord according to the desires of His heart. As the scripture tells us the foundation will be the apostles and prophets.

“And after He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will.’ (Acts 13:22)

 “I have found David My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him, (Psalm 89:20)

 “{It is I} who says of Cyrus, ‘{He is} My shepherd! And he will perform all My desire.’ And he declares of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built,’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.'” (Isaiah 44:28)

The Lord is preparing to build a temple for His Sanctuary and these brethren will be the temple of The Holy Spirit. In that place a person must carefully watch their footing because there will be a high level of accountability.

The Lord is saying that He wants to bring 700 people together that will not quarrel with one another but simply agree enough to where His purposes can be established in Righteousness. It is what Bobby Conner is calling the coming “Rule of God.”

We can call it a temple or the kingdom of God for He is the kingdom and He is the center of the temple. The Lord has been instructing me to go back and look at the bread that had been stored back in the 70’s. As I checked that old bread, or revelation, I discovered that this bread was as fresh today as it was the day it was “placed upon the shelf.” The Lord is saying that He has stored bread (hidden manna) that He is about to release in this day and that bread is as fresh today as when it was first put away. The book of Nehemiah will provide considerable insight for this revelation and for the establishing of this Sanctuary. Nehemiah was a deliverer and a central figure in the restoration of the temple.

Unfortunately, many of today’s leadership preach more from a desire for personal security than from the inspired word and leading of the Holy Spirit. This is actually a feminine quality and unsuitable for God’s government. The coming leadership of Apostles and Prophets, both men and women alike, must posses inner strength and a total abandonment to the Lord. They will be moved only by the Fear of the Lord, not the fear of man.

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13)

When the Mayflower made its journey we are told there were no lifeboats. It is now time for men of God to take a chance and discover if Jesus is real…launch into this journey with the Lord without provision for return to the old ways.   It is time for us to bet it all on Jesus. Men that gamble in this nature are called men of faith. Consequently, I see that August will begin a season of shaking among leadership.

The temple that I saw is actually the lighthouse of God. The real lighthouse of God that illuminates the area and gives the inspired word of God by the mouth of the “anointed priest.” (Malachi 2:5-7) That is why we cannot all be prophets. We need prophets to come together and direct us to the ones that are the inspired priests. These priests are the ones especially equipped to provide the inspired light and impart illumination to the people.

In the first vision I was inside the lighthouse and in the second vision I was on the roof of the temple that in reality is the lighthouse.

The Lord has reserved hidden manna for this day. It is the strong meat of Hebrews chapter 5 and 6. This manna and this strong meat will be the revelation of the written Word of God. This Word will be illuminated and used for the light in the lighthouse.

The Lord has been revealing that we are very similar to the church of Pergamum in Revelations chapter 2. The Lord is saying that He wants to bring out of our treasure chest the hidden manna of Revelations 2:17. This hidden manna will bring light to those living in the darkness of the “doctrines of the Nicolaitans”, which the Lord hates.

That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and {attaining} to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, {resulting} in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, {that is,} Christ {Himself} in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:2-3)

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life,” the hidden manna, and they that eat of this manna will never hunger again and the strong meat that we see being prepared to be revealed is actually the Lord’s body. It is as well preserved today as it was the day He offered it and said “eat and drink my blood” symbolically portraying union with Him. Those who do so enter into eternal life.

The Lord is revealing that He desires to restore the “lighthouse” and the “old temple” which is the lighthouse of God. It’s the lighthouse that will keep ships, leadership’s, from shipwreck in the times to come. It will provide adequate light and illumination for these leadership’s to carry their goods and cargo across to the other shore, imparting life to a needy people.
