Bob Hartley: Three-Year Glory Train
Intro by Jen Strohkorb, Assistant to Bob Hartley:
First, I would like to share a little about Bob Hartley and how he hears from the Lord. As an assistant to Bob, I have worked closely with him day by day, and I can honestly say that I have not met anyone who has such a passion to see the Father receive the love that He is due, with a heart to unlock His people to truly hope in Him in all of life. Bob is a true patriarch who desires to hear the heart of the Lord for the Body of Christ, but most importantly, to train and equip the people of God to hear the Father’s voice for themselves. I have heard Bob say many times, “I will not raise up dependent ones, but I will raise up rulers!” A true father desires their children to go even further than they have gone, equipping them to thrive and soar in their relationship with God, not to be wrongly dependent.
I have the privilege of sharing with you some revelation from Bob Hartley and Bob Jones concerning this summer and the next three years. Our Hope Team here in Kansas City has the blessing of hearing Bob Hartley share dreams and revelation he receives from the Lord as we meet as an institute (including four businesses and Deeper Waters Ministry) to adore the Lord each morning at 9am at our office in Kansas City. We also had a special treat this month as Bob and our Hope Team were able to spend some time with Bob Jones, a life-long prophetic friend and builder with Bob Hartley, as they shared with one another what they felt the Lord was speaking for the Body of Christ in this season.
The following is a part of a series captured during our morning prayer times and the conversations between Bob Hartley and Bob Jones. The focus of these revelations is the summer of 2010 as a “Summer of Harvest” and a three-year hope “Glory Train” that the Lord is releasing across the earth in this time. Our heart is that these words and revelations would be building blocks for you to advance in your own journey of hope with the Father, that your heart would be propelled toward your divine destiny as His child in the Kingdom of God.

The Hope Glory Train & Radiant Hope-Filled Cities
I had an encounter where I saw a hope “Glory Train” being released that would stop at different places across the earth where the glory of the Lord was to rest and reside. The hope “Glory Train” would only stop where the love is, where the veil is thin (between Heaven and earth), where the hope is, and where the invitation is given. The Lord is sending out pioneers like Bob Jones and others who will put people in place and decree a new thing or reality in those settings, and it will happen! Everywhere the hope “Glory Train” goes, if the love is strong enough and appreciation (not competition) rules the day, the Body of Christ will merge into one man! Bob describes what he means by “appreciation” in the next article that we will send out tomorrow.
The Hope Room & The Counsel Table of the Lord
Years ago, as I was adoring the Lord, I was taken to the “Hope Room,” where I received a radiant, hope-filled view of God’s plans for the nations of the earth. I was taken above the clouds of doubt and despair. At that time, I did not have a real hope that cities and nations could love God well. In answer to my doubts, the Lord said, “Tell Nineveh it doesn’t work to believe in Me.” The Lord was using Nineveh as an example of an evil city that turned to God when His word was released to them. The Lord encouraged me to “take all the territory you can in this hour!” He showed me how He desires to bring forth cities and nations that will love Him well in this hour, through His people.
After I received a healed and expanded view of God’s ability to transform cities and nations in this hour, a scout led me from the Hope Room down a hallway to the Counsel Table of the Lord. Many people were seated at this table, but I did not feel worthy to sit at the table. The scout said to me, “Though you are inwardly torn and flawed, you have a seat at the table of honor, and the King will speak to you there.”
I saw the one who represented the King, and, in my mind, he was called the leader of Christianity, and was like a Central Command leader. He was informing the group around the table how the war for the nature of God was coming forth. He was helping them to get a healed and expanded view of God, of people and of the future. Then at the Lord’s beckoning, the scout would show those at the table different geographic locations and current events, as well as specific people the Lord was raising up as kings and queens in the nations. Then the scout spoke to them about the Father’s plans to enthrone His Son as King, as in Psalm 2:
I have installed My King on Zion, My holy hill.Psalm 2:6
1983 Vision of Radiant, Hope-Filled Cities and Nations
One of the first things that I was shown in 1983 at this Counsel Table of the Lord has shaped my vision for life and the future of the Body of Christ. I had been asking the Lord day and night, “God, what is on Your heart?” and in an open vision in a stairwell in Fort Collins, the Lord showed me several progressive pictures and opened His tender heart to me. In one scene, I saw Jesus walking through the streets of our cities. As Jesus walked through each city across the earth, He went mostly unperceived in the midst of the day and the arenas of life: politics, education, families, the social arenas, the arts and the marketplace. I also saw the homeless, the poor and the destitute who had been mostly forgotten, and I felt the pain the Lord felt as they died alone. They were all deeply rooted in His heart.
When I thought my heart would break, the scene shifted and the Lord then showed me radiant, hope-filled cities where Jesus was loved well in all arenas of life, and His name was glorified above all else! I saw Jesus enter in to these different arenas, and He was no longer lonely because He received the love He was due and people began to hope in Him.
I had never experienced anything so glorious and my heart leapt for joy to see Jesus loved well, not only in church, but throughout the city; not only as the God of the corner of the Church, but as the God of Life. I was overwhelmed as I began to receive the understanding of who God is in all of life, and I began to see that the Lord desires us to not only minister the Kingdom but to build the Kingdom. God is able to turn cities, nations, families, and businesses toward Him, through His people!
Hope Reformers Who are Kings and Queens are Coming Forth
Then the Lord showed me who was going to build these radiant, hope-filled cities. I saw those who were called “Hope Reformers,” those that caught the vision, and I watched as they literally ran into the cities. They had a third perspective, a perspective not of the world and not of themselves, but God’s heavenly, eternal perspective that transformed the world around them with the force of hope.
The Lord showed me that these Hope Reformers were benevolent kings and queens who were called to bring forth “Hope Centers” across the earth. (All Believers are called to be a kingdom and priests! “To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His Blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father…”Revelation 1:6.) These individuals were Psalm 34:5 people, radiant in their hope and love. They were rebuilding individuals, families, businesses, schools and cities, and everywhere they went they were singing the “Song of Wisdom and Hope,” which represents the true knowledge of God.
At the Counsel Table of the Lord, I was shown some of these kings and queens, and those who were called to coronate others, as Samuels who would anoint the Davids. I have even met with many of them this month!
Dream of Deeper Waters
Recently, I have had reoccurring encounters regarding the next generation, and though it was specifically aimed at those leading youth in the Body of Christ, it is applicable to all Believers. It is the time to raise up the next generation to be champions of life! Champions of life…meaning champions of all areas of life, not just champions of church or religion.
In these encounters, the scout showed me the mistake that he and others had made in the past, by giving the youth an incomplete picture of Jesus and of life with Him. The first time I had this encounter was in 1989 when I was helping to lead a prominent youth ministry in Kansas City. At the time, they were experiencing a great breakthrough, as thousands of youth were coming together to marvel at the Son of God. It seemed that things could not get any better, but I knew there was more.
One night I had a dream, and the Lord showed me that I was leading the youth into “shallow waters” of the knowledge of God. I actually saw the youth diving into two inches of water, and I was certain they would break their necks. I realized that I had been leading them into a narrow view of God, and that I, too, had limited God by only seeing Him as the God of Church. I cried out to God, “How should I lead them?” and I found myself before a huge open door that said, “The God of All Life.” This door led into a chamber that had thousands of other doors inside. On each door was written a “forgotten face” of God, the parts of His nature that have been misunderstood or unperceived.
One door said, “The Builder God.” Another said, “The Supplier God,” and yet another said, “The God of Creative Genius.” I watched as these doors began to open up, and I was overjoyed to see the youth running into those doors and discovering deeper waters of the nature of God there. The next day, after I had this dream, I went to a recording of the “Shepherd’s Rod” with Bob Jones, and at the end, Bob Jones called me out and said to me, “This young man will not be with us for long, God is calling him out to discover God in all of life.”
Bob Jones then gave me several items he had dug up from his garden. One was a golden key, and he told me, “You will unlock parts of the nature and knowledge of God that have been buried for thousands of years, as in Isaiah 45:3, ‘I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places…'” Ever since that time, I have made it my life vision to discover God in every arena of life, and to help others do the same.
Opening the Library of Heaven
Later one night, I went to bed asking the Lord for help to solve specific situations in my business and family, and I had a dream where I was taken to Heaven and brought into a beautiful library. There I was given two golden books that were covered with dust. The Lord told me they were golden treasure that was needed for the Body of Christ to have the knowledge to proceed and succeed in this hour.
In this encounter, I saw the Lord give these two golden keys or advanced tools, in the knowledge of the God of all Life, and Hope to the Hope Reformers I had seen in previous encounters. With these two golden keys, these Hope Reformers, like Nehemiah, would be able to overcome the obstacles and rebuild cities that would love God well and hope in Him. These Hope Reformers would also help others discover the heart of God in every arena of life. I saw the Psalm 24 reality come forth, where the King of glory was invited into all the gates, or arenas, of the city.
Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.Psalm 24:7
These two golden keys from the Library of Heaven were Adoration and Asking. It is the Psalm 27:4 reality, where the one thing David asked for was “to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,” so that he could do two things… 1) adore God (“…to behold the beauty of the Lord…”) and 2) ask Him questions (“…and to inquire in His temple.”)
The Golden Key of Adoration
In this encounter, the Lord showed me that the advanced tool of Adoration is the first part of Psalm 27:4, “…to behold the beauty of the Lord…” Adoration is loving and magnifying the Lord for who He is, focusing solely on His beauty, goodness, mercy, grace, love, wisdom, kindness, etc., and not asking for anythingjust lavishing our love on Him! He is worthy! It is the Psalm 100:4 reality, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
I saw that through adoration, these hope-filled Hope Reformers will discover the four “forgotten faces of God” that the Lord is emphasizing for the Body of Christ for 2009-2011: the Redeemer God, the Builder God, the Supplier God and the Wise God.
I was instructed to get up early in the morning every day and adore these four particular faces of God. This caused me to go deeper and deeper so when I faced problems and situations during the day with family, in business, and with people, that the atmosphere was changed around me as I invited God in through adoration. My circumstances became radiant with the power and the presence of God, and a whole new lifestyle came forth for me. God is inviting all of His Hope Reformers into this glorious reality!
In previous encounters, the Lord spoke to me about the discovery of the “forgotten faces of God,” which were areas where we have forsaken the knowledge of the Holy. These “faces” represented facets of His character that we have misunderstood or not perceived. I saw the Lord releasing golden keys to unlock thousands of His “forgotten faces” in this time! Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” It’s time for us to search out the treasure of His nature as the God of Hope!
The Lord showed me that as these Hope Reformers would set their hearts in adoration every day and purpose to magnify and adore the Lord first, their perspectives would be lifted up above the clouds of doubt and despair, and they would begin to see with God’s eternal, heavenly perspective. He watched as their first response to crisis or challenges was no longer doubt, fear or anxiety, but their faces became radiant as they magnified and extolled the greatness of their God. Their emotions and thoughts were no longer altered by their circumstances, but their hope in God began to change the circumstances around them. They became firmly planted Adoration Pillars, spreading the fragrance of Jesus everywhere they went.
The Golden Key of Asking
Next, the Lord showed me the second advanced tool of Asking, which is the next part of Psalm 27:4, “…to inquire in His temple.” Asking is about coming before the Lord at His counsel table and inquiring of Him, as David did. The strength of David’s life was adoration and asking. Throughout his life, he continually came before the Lord to adore Him, as he shared in Psalm 119:164, “Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous laws.” David also made a habit of inquiring of the Lord, even when faced with circumstances similar to those he had encountered in the past. We see David continuing to inquire, and then given completely different strategies from the Lord, even when the situation appeared identical (see 2 Samuel 5:17-25).
David was truly a man after God’s heart for each circumstance he found himself in. David was in no means perfect, but he purposed to care for the heart of God, and he understood that his strength came from the Lord.
At the Counsel Table of the Lord, the Lord showed me that many times I had come to Him with the wrong questions that were birthed from fear and doubt, rather than coming with hope-filled, confident questions that God would give. These questions from God would position my heart in confident expectation of the goodness of the Lord and His plans and hope for my life. The Lord showed me that I could either approach my circumstances as a constant question of God’s love for me, or I could come to the Counsel Table of the Lord and rightly perceive my position before God as His favored Son. This puts circumstances in their proper place. He showed me that it is a choice to live under the circumstances of life or to live above them.
As I purposed to listen to the heart of the Lord, He gave me new questions of hope, as in Isaiah 43:18-19, “Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it?” The Lord has given me hundreds of questions about process, relationships, the next generation, cities and nations, individuals, for business, etc. The Lord is inviting us all to His Counsel Table, where He desires to give us the right questions to ask at the right time, to give us the right hope-filled answers to advance our hearts into our divine destiny.
In another encounter, I saw that as these Hope Reformers began to ask the right questions of the Lord, they received a new Kingdom level of hearing where the Lord would share His blueprints and plans for the next 10 to 20 years for the cities and nations of the earth. They also received very practical wisdom for day to day life in family, business, ministry, etc. As many Hope Reformers were sent out on the three-year “Glory Train,” it was crucial that they entered into this new level of Kingdom hearing for the sake of the nations they were being sent to, and the kings they were to anoint and put in place in these nations.
In this encounter, the Lord told me that the best way to love someone is to listen to their heart. My heart was grieved as the Lord shared that there were few who really listened to His heart. He also shared that listening is really the process and pattern of Scripture, as in Ecclesiastes 5:1, “Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.”
Listening to God’s heart is not only the greatest way to love Him, but it is a transformational tool for our own hearts. It also brings transformation to society; when the Church comes together in unity to listen to the heart of God, tragedy is averted in cities and nations across the earth.
Second Prophetic Word:
Here Come the Hopeful Kings and Queens Bringing the Celebration of God!
In my last word (posted on the Elijah List), I shared about an encounter with Jesus regarding the “Hope Glory Train” that would stop different places across the earth through 2013, and the hopeful kings and queens that were being sent out into the seven mountains of society. I shared how the Lord was sending out His “Hope Glory Train” to stop in geographic regions and I saw that these regions had the following characteristics:
The soil and hearts of the people have been prepared for hope.
The people are moving into the Zechariah 10 reality of turning from sheep to warhorses.
The veil is thin between Heaven and earth and the darkness is not magnified. The people have stepped through the veil to see the power of our great God and what the Father is doing.
The Hope Reformation is coming forth, where a change in the nature of Christianity brings forth an understanding of the God of Hope that does not negate the challenges but reaches for the greatness of our good God.
The Current State of the Hopeful Kings and Queens Behind the Wooden Doors
This visitation continued as I was walking through the streets in Redding, California, at 2:00 AM early one morning. It was pitch black outside. Out of the darkness, I heard the Lord repeating to me over and over, “It is time for the return of the hopeful kings and queens!” At first, I saw these kings and queens locked behind wooden doors surrounded by this darkness. I saw that this darkness was also increasing across geographic regions, even in the midst of the Church, as in Isaiah 60:
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3
I saw that the darkness was increasing even within kings and queens in the Church and the seven mountains of society. I saw that this darkness was being magnified around them and in their thinking. I saw that dark artists who were influenced by man and earthly, dark thinking were having sway in the Church and Christianity. As a result, no miracles could be done and His presence was not believed in. I saw that this was like past times, like the days of the “Enlightenment.” A time when people believed in God, but did not have hope that God was greater than the challenges of the day or that He desired to be involved in daily life.
I saw that many of these kings and queens had disqualified themselves and negated the hopeful presence of God in their lives. They had become so focused on their weakness, their sin, their past or what they were not, that they could not advance through the radiant door of their destiny! The Lord showed Bob Jones how some of these kings and queens had been in this darkness even before they were born. They were trapped in self-loathing and self-hatred of both their destiny and lineage, and were not even aware that the roots of this dark thinking had been planted in their DNA generations before. They had been saturated with a mindset that they were less than enough to face the challenges of the day. They could only be made aware of the darkness that had been cloaking them if they walked through the doors into their destiny in the seven mountains or arenas of society. They would then see the hope of their radiant callings in God.
The Lord then showed me how they would get through these doors of their divine destiny, and who He was sending to help.
Who Would Help the Kings Come Out of the Darkness and Into the Hope of Their Callings?
I saw that these hopeful kings and queens could only come through the wooden doors, representing the hope of their callings, through love, hope and appreciation. The Lord explained to me, “These kings must have people who believe in them and who will anoint them to come forth into their full destiny and calling.”
In this vision, I saw that these kings and queens needed to understand the Song of Solomon 1:5 reality that though they were dark they were lovely to God. These hopeful kings and queens needed to see their lovely calling and great destiny in Him. Then the Lord showed me how they would get there. They needed to receive and perceive love, hope and appreciation from others and from God to get through the door of their destiny and the hope of their calling, not through old discipleship methodologies but through new prophetic training in how to build the Kingdom. They would need appreciation and nurture for their hearts to move forward in the seven mountains.
I was shown several groups who were to help bring forth these hopeful kings and queens through love, hope and appreciation. All were anointers and had wisdom and understanding, and they saw it was worth it to go after these kings and queens who had been trapped in dark thinking.
The Hopeful Cupbearers Who Will Bring Forth these Kings and Queens
The first group I saw that would anoint these kings and queens were the “hopeful cupbearers.” Behind closed doors, these hopeful cupbearers would give these kings and queens love, hope and appreciation, as well as redemption for past mistakes. These hopeful cupbearers would come alongside these kings and queens and speak the dream of who they are to be. They would be the Proverbs 17:17 ones: “A friend (who) loves at all times, and a brother… born for adversity.” And the Philemon 1:7 ones: “Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.”
I saw that these hopeful cupbearers would magnify the good in these kings and queens and would not focus on their weakness. This love, hope and appreciation would fuel the anointing of these kings and queens, and I saw great redemption happening behind the closed, wooden doors. I was shown that it would take persistence and consistency in the message to bring forth these hopeful kings and queens. I saw the Hosea 11:4 reality come forth through these hopeful cupbearers, “I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them.” These hopeful cupbearers would need to show love again and again to break the power of lineages of despair and hopelessness.
I also saw that these hopeful cupbearers were like Abraham, who could give these kings and queens a picture of a better future. Like Jeremiah 32, they could see that though the land is challenged now and about to go into captivity, it will be redeemed in the future. As these hopeful cupbearers fed these kings and queens the right messages with the right posture, these kings and queens immediately went from sheep to warhorses and began to advance through the doors of their divine destiny.
I, Elizabeth, think it is interesting to note that Nehemiah, in the Old Testament, was a cupbearer to the King (means he had the duty of handing out and filling cups that wine is served in to the king). He has become “famous” for being the one in his generation to notice and care that the walls of Jerusalem were in shambles and needed to be rebuilt. Because he had a close position to the king, he was able to receive the privilege of seeing that the walls were rebuilt…with a sword in one hand and a tool in the other. We are also given the privilege in our generation to transition from “stewarding over the wine” to rebuilding the cities! Out of our intimacy with our King, we will know His heart and display it in such a way that the broken down walls of our cities will be repaired and hearts will be conditioned to believe that htis indeed is a good King!
The Hopeful Abigails Who Will Bring Forth these Kings and Queens
Then I was shown another group that would “anoint” these hopeful kings and queens through love, hope and appreciation. The Lord was calling forth hopeful “Abigails” who would show these kings and queens the stage play of their lives. They would give them a picture of the wonderful story or song that the Lord had written over them, and these kings and queens would be encouraged to enter into their chapter of divine destiny.
In the visitation, I saw in the Scriptures how Abigail had given David perspective in 1 Samuel 25. She gave him a heavenly perspective that he was called to be king, not to die on the petty mountain of disagreement. I saw how these hopeful Abigails would not allow the kings and queens to treat themselves the wrong way. I once had had a dream where Abigail came and said, “The Lord is looking at Bob Hartley and He doesn’t like the way you treat Bob Hartley. You don’t own Bob Hartley, God does. You have written a different script about Bob Hartley, and it is not the truth of God’s script for your life.” Hopeful Abigails would bring these kings and queens divine perspective of who they were called to be, and how the Lord sees them.
I love the word picture of us writing a script that is incorrect. We not only do this as it relates to ourselves, but we also do it as it relates to God and His reputation. We tend to write an incorrect script about Him, ascribing to Him an incorrect reputation. I would like to refer back to what I said earlier about how we were affected by the choice in the garden. In that moment, when Adam and Eve ate of the supernatural fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, even though they had known and walked with God face to face, they were instantly no better off than you or me. They no longer saw God, or anything, through the simple perspective of Who He is, but they, like us, “gained” the capacity to reason and therefore doubt if God was good or evil. They began to reason through logic and critical thinking Who God was based on their limited perspective. We still do that, don’t we? We feel that when things go well, He must be for us, and when they don’t, He may not be so good or even love us at all. Of course those of us who are Christians know better than to accuse God of this conciously, but the reality we have embraced proves what we actually believe about Him. The incredibly good news is that Jesus’ death and resurrection not only restored us to God, but it also gave us the authority to restore God’s correct reputation to the earth! Remember, Jesus said “All authority has now been given to Me, therefore (you) go and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matt. 28:18-19). We all love the promise in Habakkuk 2: 14 that says “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” One aspect or definition of God’s glory is His goodness (remember Moses asked to see God’s glory and it says God responded by letting His goodness pass before Moses). So, the promise is that one day the whole earth will have access to the knowing of God’s goodness. We will one day finally get the script about who we are and Who He is so correct, that all will have access not just to salvation, but also to knowing God’s true heart. Isn’t that all He has ever wanted…to be known in an intimate way by His sons and daughters?! Isn’t that the only way Satan can really “touch” God, by causing the object of God’s affection, His children, to think of Him as something different than He is and One with different motives towards us than good and only good in all of life?!
The Hopeful Kings Who Will Bring Forth Other Kings and Queens
In addition to the Hopeful Cupbearers and Abigails who would call forth and anoint these hopeful kings and queens behind closed doors, I was shown another group that would have the greatest impact on these kings and queens. I saw other kings anointing one another through love, hope and appreciation. I saw that many of these hopeful kings and queens were doing the works of the Kingdom, but others were criticizing them because they didn’t have the eyes of Jesus.
In the encounter, Jesus said, “Leave them alone and let them do it, they are building My Kingdom,” like He did in Mark 9:38-40, when His disciples said, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” When these kings and queens began to show love, hope and appreciation for one another, rather than criticism, the promise of Ephesians 4:13 became reality and I watched them all merge into one man: “Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
Speaking of Kings and Queens…I believe we are seeing the true shepeherds arise who are helping restore the culture of honor among us…ones who value the way we interact with one another above creating a “show” for the masses one day a week. We are royalty because of Who we belong to. His house and our reputation must begin to reflect that culture of royalty displayed in honor. My parents taught me that manners aren’t a ritual or irrelevant rules to remember, but that manners are simply thinking of others more than yourself. When you think of others you are wanting to make sure you are behaving in a way that makes them feel noticed, loved, important, heard, and considered. God is helping us embrace that true sense of royalty again, not to make us feel better about ourselves, but so that people can come into His house and experience the Kingdom- His culture or ways of doing things, which will always cause us and the world to feel loved, valued, important, etc.
The Return of the Kings and Queens Through the Radiant Door of Their Calling
In this visitation, I watched as these hopeful kings and queens began to receive and perceive love, hope and appreciation from these different groups, and suddenly the darkness broke and a radiant sunrise came forth. Everything became orange all around them and the Lord told me that orange represented “hope” being released from Heaven. I watched as hundreds of hopeful kings and queens across the earth walked through the wooden doors of their destinies into the seven mountains, and they entered into the radiant and rich invitation from the Lord to be like the two spies versus the ten in Numbers 14. They took their promised land! They became like the Acts 2 community.
Johnny was shown that orange is the color associated with the Mountain of Family, where the enemy to be overcome is rejection. That rejection ultimately has its roots in the core doubt we can struggle with about God’s love and heart towards us. When others reject us, it goes deep because it touches that deeper rejection we can feel from God. When we allow our HOPE to be restored, by cultivating it, we come into our full strength, ready to shine like we were meant to!
Then I was shown that these hopeful kings and queens were the answer to this rising darkness in Isaiah 60:1-3. I watched as these hopeful kings and queens began to arise and shine, for the glory of the Lord was rising upon them; and as a result, nations came to their light and kings to the brightness of their rising. I saw the Matthew 12:21 reality happen, where in Jesus the nations put their hope. Where there had been a wrong view of God, nations saw the true nature of the God of all hope through these hopeful kings and queens.
Miracles of His person and presence became common as when Jesus walked the earth, as in Acts 10:38, “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and…He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him.”
Hopeful Kings and Queens Being Released into Geographical Portals
Next, I watched as geographical portals were opened up in 2010-2013 to these hopeful kings and queens on the “Hope Glory Train.” These places were ready for the visit of God. These hopeful kings and queens were called to bring forth “Cities and Nations of Celebration” in the seven mountains, and they had the wisdom and hope to rebuild cities, and to teach others to love the Lord with excellence. I saw that they would unearth treasures and promises for geographic regions that have been buried for years, as in Jeremiah 32 and 33. These hopeful kings and queens would hope in the “greater than” plans of God, even when the promises seemed to be buried in lands that had been taken captive by the enemy.
The Next Steps for these Hopeful Kings and Queens
These hopeful kings and queens are to bring advanced tools to these geographic regions, to not only minister the Kingdom of God, but to build the Kingdom of God. They are to bring forth the reality that we are moving from “every man a minister,” and “every man a missionary,” to every man a multi-colored coat. They will come forth with decrees and advanced Patriarchal and Matriarchal wisdom to build. The Lord is updating the vision, values, vehicles, building process, and marvelous comrades of these hopeful kings and queens, and it is going to be a time of exponential learning. The hearts of these kings and queens need to be filled with hope because there will be correction and direction that comes in love from the heart of our God.
Action Steps for You:
To become the king or queen you are called to be.
To help other kings and queens come forth.
To walk into the decrees that issue from the heart of the Lord.
To then begin to decree these for the kings and queens in your life, those that need to come forth from behind the wooden doors of despair and doubt into their radiant calling in Him.

Above where Bob refers to the muti-colored coat…I beleive an aspect of further revelation on this is throughout Johnny’s book The Seven Mountain Mantle: Receiving the Joseph Anointing to Reform Nations. If you haven’t read it yet, I like to describe it as a deep breath of hope! It is a prophetic perspective of what God is doing with us through 2015 that will encourage, provoke, and inspire you in a very personal way!
