Did You Learn to LOVE? Bob Jones

Introduction

We explore a profound question that resonates deeply in our spiritual journey: “Did you learn to love?” This question, asked by God to Bob Jones, serves as the cornerstone of our discussion.

The Call to Love

At this moment, it’s essential to reflect on what God is saying. The message of love, as shared by Bob Jones, is a call to examine our actions and their underlying motives. It’s a reminder that the essence of our existence and spiritual practice is rooted in love.

The Biblical Foundation of Love

1 Corinthians 13 provides a clear framework for understanding the importance of love. It states that even if we possess extraordinary spiritual gifts—such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, understanding all mysteries, and having faith that moves mountains—without love, these gifts mean nothing. This passage emphasizes that love is the core of our spiritual practice. As Pat Hamilton shared, “1st Corinthians 13 says that if you speak in tongues of men or of angels, if you have the gift of prophecy, if you can fathom all mysteries, all knowledge, if you have faith to move mountains, if you give all you possess to the poor, and even if you surrender your body to the flames, it means absolutely nothing.”

The Sound of Love

Without love, our actions are like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. This metaphor illustrates that our deeds, no matter how grand or well-intentioned, are meaningless to God if they are not rooted in love. The noise symbolizes the emptiness of actions performed without genuine love. Pat explains, “If we are not moving in love, that’s what it sounds like to God—just noise. It just means nothing. It’s worthless.”

The Attributes of Love

Reflecting on 1 Corinthians 13, love is patient and kind. It does not envy, boast, or behave proudly. It does not dishonor others, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. These attributes serve as a guide for how we should conduct ourselves daily, ensuring that love is at the heart of our interactions and decisions. Pat asked himself, “Am I patient? Am I kind? Do I keep records of wrongs? Am I rude or self-seeking?”

The Fulfillment of the Law

Romans 13:8 teaches that love fulfills the law. “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” This passage underscores that when we love our neighbors as ourselves, we have fulfilled God’s law. Love encapsulates all commandments and requirements. Pat emphasizes, “If we learn how to love, there’s nothing else we need to do. Because God is love.”

The Reality of Love

The world is eager to understand that God is about love, not religion. In a vision, Bob Jones saw 98% of humanity heading to hell and only 2% standing in line to see Jesus. This vision highlights the critical importance of love in our lives and the dire consequences of neglecting it. As Greg Lancaster pointed out, “The world wants to know God’s not religion. Religion is everywhere. This is what Bob saw—98% of humanity going to hell and 2% standing in the line to see Jesus.”

The Challenge of Love

Loving others can be challenging because it involves vulnerability and the potential for hurt. Jesus warned that many would claim to have done great things in His name, only to be told, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoer.” This warning emphasizes that love is the true measure of our actions and relationship with God. Greg shared, “The biggest challenge you’ll have is do you still love. The enemy will attack your love constantly.”

The Motive Behind Our Actions

Our motivation for doing God’s work should be driven by love, not duty. It’s not about performing religious acts to please God but about honoring Him because we genuinely love Him. This love should inspire all our actions, ensuring they are sincere and meaningful. Greg explains, “You’re not pleasing God by just doing something religious. It’s because I love Him. I honor Him with His tithes and offerings. I get up every morning and spend time with Him because I want to hear Him. It’s because I love Him.”

The Reward of Love

True love is selfless and prioritizes others. It’s not about personal gain but about expressing God’s love through our actions. Bob Jones’ encounter with God taught him that love is the only thing that truly matters. Jones shared, “God asked me, ‘Did you learn to love?’ Only 2% of humanity were in the line of love, while 98% were in another line, wrapped up in their gods. This encounter underscored the importance of love and the need to lead others towards it.”

The Eternal Impact of Love

Our testimonies of love continue into eternity. By leading others to Christ through love, we build a testimony that lasts forever. Love is the foundation for everything in God’s Kingdom and has a lasting impact beyond our earthly lives. Greg emphasized, “Your fruit is what you do to others. It’s a tangible fruit. The definition of fruit is a fleshly, tangible substance that reproduces after its own kind.”

Conclusion

For those who have been hurt and find it hard to love, it is crucial to cry out to God for healing. Despite betrayals and hardships, we must strive to love. God’s love can heal and restore us, allowing us to reflect His love in our lives. Greg urged, “If you’ve been hurt, cry out to love Himself and say, ‘Dear God, heal my heart. Heal me from this betrayal. Help me love the very ones that have done such damage.'”

Learning to love is the most important lesson we can embrace. It fulfills God’s law and reflects His character. As illustrated by Bob Jones’ experience, love is crucial for our spiritual journey and eternal destiny. Let us make love the foundation of all we do, striving to love as God loves us.

Bob Jones shares his Heaven Encounter with God

Bob Jones, sharing on his heaven encounter with God says, “On August 8th of 75 uh the Lord had given me some prophecies and I begin to bring them and I was told by an evil spirit that if I kept bringing him that he’d take my life I didn’t believe him but he did so I went to the Lord in death and as I come close to the Lord I saw that all the people that was in our line he asked him only one word did you learn to love I saw that about 2% of all Humanity was in the line I was in there were 98% it was in another line that was wrapped up in their gods because we’re going to spend eternity with our gods and if it’s Jesus Christ as our God we spend eternity with him so as I stood before him and I was getting ready to tell him yes Lord CU he only asked you did you learn to love and I was going to tell him I had but he said I want you to go back and I told him I didn’t really want to but he said go back because I’m going to bring a billion Souls into myself in one great wave and I want
