Emerging Prophets
By Bonnie Jones
May 2017
There’s a new day on the horizon. A day of the true prophetic ministry ordained by the Father and administered through the working of the Holy Spirit taking action. It is not a fabrication but a truth.
Recently in a dream I saw Bob Jones. As the dream began I’m standing in the kitchen looking out the window. Just as it began to draw dusk I saw Bob come walking out of the thick woods. He was rather dirty looking and was walking with his cane. He appeared taller and thinner but walked rather hunched over or leaning forward. Yet he walked rather briskly as if he was in a hurry.
He was wearing one of my old green sweatshirts from the 70’s and blue trousers. He drew near me as he came around the side of the house but just smiled as he literally ran across the street. I was afraid he would fall because he was so tired from walking such a long distance. I knew that he left early in the morning for town to visit Irma.
But he literally ran down our front steps and across the street because he saw a young man named Nathan Plowman standing on the neighbor’s front porch. Apparently Nathan was visiting there. The front steps were under repair so that two steps were missing. But Bob ran up to the house, literally hopped up on the porch and embraced Nathan. Nathan asked Bob, “How did you do that?”
Gifts Released to the Church
Seven years ago I was shown four gifts that were being released to the church; grace, love, prophecy and truth. There seemed to be an order or progression yet I felt they were all equally important. At that time Bob and I discussed it and here is what he said.
- Grace – has shown her face to church leadership. As she stood before the council of leaders bearing a covenant of love she was fully draped in a rainbow. She brings with her Isaiah 33:6
And there shall be stability in your times, an abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the reverent fear and worship of the Lord is your treasure and His.
Grace has been offered to the church through a covenant of His love.
- Love – there is an atmosphere or culture of love being developed in the body of believers. To those who lay down their own agendas and crucify their flesh; desiring only the will of the God, they will begin to experience the love of the Father. The body of believers that can love unconditionally will begin to feel its tangible presence. There will be no escaping its presence. It will be a place of rest.
- Prophecy – both the Samuel and Nathan prophets are being raised up and maturing in the body of Christ by working together in a spirit of unity. They realize the strategic power of building together on a firm foundation.
The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep:
He has sealed your eyes (the prophets);
He has covered your heads (the seers). (Isaiah 29:10)
He has sealed your eyes (the prophets);
He has covered your heads (the seers). (Isaiah 29:10)
The Nathan–like prophets are the eyes or seers of the prophetic that prophesy by naba revelation or by inspiration. They receive instant inspiration and prophesy the revelation by faith. While the Samuel-like prophets are the head according to Isaiah 29:10 that use all five senses to prophesy. They tend to have more dreams and visions however they rely on their natural senses to bring forth revelation. Many healings and miracles are a result of what they experience by their natural feelings.
- Truth – will prevail! Where evil plots are being schemed; they will immediately be revealed. Those who are plotting evil will be entrapped by their own doings.
I was shown Psalm 18:28, For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness. When the light of the Lord is present darkness must flee.
False Prophets Revealed
I believe this seven-year old prophecy has been a work in progress and is now revealing and releasing the true prophetic. It is true “we all can prophesy.” (1 Corinthians 14:31) However there have been many self-proclaimed prophets that have prophesied from their flesh. They have done it in the name of the Lord for the purpose of self-gain and this has grieved the Holy Spirit of Truth. Many have prophesied with no regard to Him or fear of the Lord. Jesus said a prophet shall be known by his fruit. He strictly warns against false prophets.
“Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. (Matthew 7:15-18 Amplified)
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them [as false prophets]. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:19-21 Amplified)
For this reason the body of Christ must have good discernment. They must be like the sons of Issachar and know how to discern the times we are living in and know the true from the false. (1 Chronicles 12:32) Unfortunately many are still running after a sign instead of Christ and for this reason many stumble and fall away. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees. Although the Son of God was standing before them in the flesh, their lack of discernment prevented them from knowing Him and entering into the sheepfold.
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed. (Matthew 16:1-4)
Nathan and Samuel Anointing
On Rosh Hashanah last year I saw the Samuel anonitnig falling on the body of Christ. In the late 70’s Bob walked in this anointing where, like the prophet Samuel, not one word he prophesied fell to the ground. Then March 11, 1977 the Lord removed His glory and wrote Ichabod over the church because prophetic voices was marketing it for their own gain. After a forty- year season, March 11, 2017, God erased Ichabod and is releasing His abiding glory to the body of Christ.
Let us not be confused here or sound contradictory about the prophetic and God’s glory. The glory was removed for forty years. Ichabod is now erased. There are still false prophets. So what does this mean? It means that over these forty years the body of Christ has grown in wisdom and discernment. However many are still being mislead by the false prophetic. Many will still follow after something that sounds enticing and arouses the soul instead of following the Anointed One. His sheep know His voice and follow Him. (John 10:4)
Jesus The Separator
These emerging prophetic voices are going to have such a release of Holy Spirit power and resurrection life, there will be no doubt it is from God. In John 9:39 Jesus says He is the Separator and He’s come to separate those who believe on Him and those who reject Him. And this is where we are today. Here Jesus healed the man who was blind from birth. Although the Pharisees questioned the man, there was no denying God healed him. In the same way today, as these prophetic anointings are released to the body of Christ, the power they deliver will be without doubt. They are real, the anointing is real and the Giver is God. They will walk in fear of the Lord and immediately give glory to Him and not take it for themselves.
Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who choose to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.” (John 9:39 Amplified)
Great Harvest of Souls
In my dream Bob represents the Samuel prophets emerging after a long season of being hidden. In this time they were being raised up in the Spirit of Truth therefor learning to distinguish spirit from soul. The dirt I saw on Bob’s sweater represents works of the flesh that God dealt with while they were in hiding. God can’t release them till it’s dealt with. Once they are released and embrace the naba Nathan prophets you shall see a great harvest of souls. You see there can’t be competition. God created all of us unique in our gifting and each one must embrace their calling and walk in it. When this happens the plowman shall overtake the reaper and there will be no end to the harvest.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper (Amos 9:13a)
Women Released
I mentioned in the dream that Bob left early in the morning to visit a woman named Irma. Let me explain. In December 2006 Bob had a visitation with two beings that hadn’t been on the earth since 1936. Their names were Charlie and Irma. When Irma rang our doorbell and entered our home she was only three feet tall. She brought with her a loaf of fresh hot bread. As she began to break off pieces and share with other women, she grew to normal size. She came to release women into ministry. I believe many women have been in a time of hiding and going through the process of training as well as men. It’s time for women to emerge and come into their rightful place of authority in the body of Christ. Irma means excellent virtue and I believe these “female” Nathan and Samuel prophets will be powerful. No longer shall they be scorned but recognized for the presence of the Holy Spirit of Truth residing in them. Like the men, when they speak the power of God shall manifest and there shall be no doubt the Lord has spoken through them.
Truth
Truth was the last gift given to the church. Get ready for power manifest through the ministries of the Nathan and Samuel prophets. As these ministries emerge dunamis power is released and the greater works bring transformation. These prophets will not sell or manipulate the anointing. They will not take the glory for themselves. They have spent many years in the desert being trained by the Holy Spirit and understand the fear and awe of the Lord. They shall be straight forward and full of life, love and truth. They shall not deviate from the truth but instead direct others to the “Truth.”
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
I believe it will be beautiful to witness these two prophetic ministries come together in unity with the Holy Spirit and power. These are the days we have long awaited. Get ready for the greatest harvest of souls as these prophetic voices declare and decree, pronounce and proclaim and set the captives free. Get ready for whole campuses to be set free from the chains that bind them. Get ready for whole cities to be engulfed in the fire of the Holy Spirit inspired by the ministry of these prophetic voices. Get ready for the greatest harvest of all time.
