Decades ago, Bob Jones prophesied that a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win would be followed by “end-time revival.” Then, in February 2023, the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win was followed by revivals around the nation, most notably one that began at Asbury University. As they return to the big game, the team is looking toward the Lord.

From CBN. The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to Super Bowl LIX to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. As the team prepares for its seventh Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, the wife of the Chief’s owner is pointing to something even more significant, recently sharing how it is nothing but the hand of God that has gotten them this far.

Tavia Hunt reflected in a post on Instagram that she is heading into football’s biggest night of the year filled with gratitude, amazed at all that God has done. …

She says what many people are seeing with the Chiefs this season is the highlight reel, but God brought them through a very dark season.

“In 2012, we were broken—winning only 2 games and facing an unimaginable tragedy,” she wrote. “It was a humbling, desperate season, and we had nowhere to turn but to God. That brokenness brought us to total dependence on the One who holds it all.”

Chiefs’ owner and CEO Clark Hunt inherited the team from his father, Lamar Hunt. … The Chiefs won their first Super Bowl championship in 1970, but they would end up waiting five decades before their next big chance. …

During that 50-year “dark season,” a Christian prophet named Bob Jones prophesied the Chiefs would one day win the Super Bowl again, and when it finally happened, it would be a “sign of end-time revival.” …

Tavia Hunt got wind of the prophecy in 2019. …

And everything changed for the team in 2020 when the Chiefs overcame a double-digit deficit to beat the San Francisco 49ers in a stunning win that bolstered the team’s notoriety.

“Since that victory, we’ve witnessed incredible revival across this country and the world. College and NFL players are boldly proclaiming their faith, and there is an incredible revival happening on college campuses (see Unite_US). God is on the move, life is short, and we know that we are to use this platform for His glory,” she said.

As CBN News reported, just days before the Chiefs won another Super Bowl in February of 2023, a collegiate revival broke out as Asbury University, kicking off a wave of revival moments at campuses and churches around the U.S. that’s still ongoing. …

Hunt adds for the players it is about so much more than football. As CBN News reported, her husband has always aimed to make Christian faith a part of the Chief’s culture.

The Kansas City Chiefs stadium has a chapel service for people at the games and chaplains are a part of the Chiefs and FC Dallas organizations, he told the Tyler Morning Telegraph in 2019.

“We want our employees to develop spiritually,” Hunt said. “In the National Football League, Christ is really glorified. My identity is my faith in Christ.” …
