Important Interview & Questions at the Counsel Table of the Lord:
What are the ways that our understanding of the prophetic changing?
Is the Prophetic moving from a “Crystal Ball” mindset to the powerful reality of Friendship with the King of Kings?
1) The Understanding of the Prophetic is changing from a “Crystal Ball” mindset into Friendship:
The Prophetic is the greatest “Invitation into Intimacy” This is not looking into a crystal ball, but a relationship. It is listening to His heart. The greatest way to love someone is to listen to their heart.
His sheep hear His voice. The greatest of all keys to relationship is to listen to a heart or another thing to do versus loving and building with the one you love
- Revelation 19:10- “…For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
- Isaiah 45:3″I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.”

2) The Understanding of the Prophetic is changing from focusing on just a few Faces of God to the discovery of His Many Forgotten Faces.”
- We are so used to seeing Him and others in a familiar way, and this allows us to ask of His Heart and He shows more sides of Himself-
Bob found that he didn’t know God’s Face as His “Counselor God” (Prov 23:11 / Is9:6)
At this place, God counsels us about who we were to Him by defining our worth.
There is such a clear and substantial way that He reveals Himself as the “God of Wisdom and Counsel”.
This is a place from His face where you just knew that He did all things well.
- Zeph 3:17- “The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”

Even questions and answers from the Lord’s mouth will lead people into encounter with Him. It is always about encounters with Him and having God release greater love between our hearts and His heart and a heart for other people.

It will release you into a journey of intimacy, courage and hope for cities and nations.
Complicated matters become simple & are small in the sight of God and in His Light.
Hope Hearing God @ The Counsel Table of the Lord.
It is so very important to gather around the Counsel Table of the Lord and build together.
We have been given promises from the Lord that He has personally invited you into! You are a participant and not an observer! And also, there are 4 Golden Promises the Lord has given to us for these gathering times.
4 Golden Promises from the Lord for those that gather:
1) Golden Presence – He promised divine encounters! It’s all about His presence!
- Exodus 33:15-16- “Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
- Psalm 44:3- “For by their own sword they did not possess the land, and their own arm did not save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, for You favored them.”
2) Golden People – He promised that the worth of human beings would be celebrated!
- Psalm 133: 1- “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!”
- Hebrews 3:13- “But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
3) Golden Paradigm – He promised that reformation tools from heaven would be unlocked.
- Isaiah 45:3- “I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.”
4) Golden Prophetic – He promised that the Zechariah 13:4 “Patriarchal Prophetic” would come forth.
- Zechariah 13:4-5- “…He will not put on a prophet's garment of hair in order to deceive. He will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.”
HOPE HEARING – THE COUNSEL TABLE OF THE LORD
One of the best places to hear the Lord’s voice is at the Counsel Table of the Lord.
One great question that people have asked Bob is “Can you explain to us what the Counsel Table of the Lord is and its importance?”
Bob’s Encounter’s at the Counsel Table of the Lord:
I have had several encounters where the Lord brought me to His counsel table where He shared his secrets with me, and gave me hopeful questions to ask Him. Not only me, Many people were seated at this table. It is the reality of Psalm 27, not only sitting at His feet and gazing at His beauty, but also inquiring of Him in His temple. The One thing of Psalm 27:4 is actually two things, beginning with seeing Him for who He is and adoring Him, but also moving into a place of dialogue and friendship with Him, seeking out the pearls of His wisdom and inquiring of Him regarding His heart for us, for others, and for cities and nations.
Definition of the Counsel Table:
It is the greatest “PLACE OF COMMUNION”, where you are granted to sit with the King, Himself, and He feeds you with His very own hand. It is the place of the greatest relational bridge with God that I have ever experienced. It is a beautiful and wondrous place of friendship with God. There is such a deep communion and heart to heart intimacy with God, that it causes the hearts of those around the table to burn with desire for Him, His heart, His thoughts and His voice. His pearls and treasures come forth in this place.
At His Counsel Table, He desires this heart connect and dialogue through deep relationship with His friends, and it is in this place that He will unlock the treasures of the deep; He will unlock His very heart.
Gen 26- Isaac walked and meditated- counseled- wife- Luke 24
The Communion was so rich at the Table that all experienced burning hearts for Him, delectable feelings, the ‘hot honey’ of His feelings and emotions from within, unintelligible peace and a new & deep knowing of Him.
UPdate!
