James Goll: The Prophetic Power of Coming Into Agreement

By James Goll|2021-04-26T11:09:22-05:00April 26th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Jesus told us to persist—continuously and tirelessly—in asking, seeking and knocking on the doors of heaven. The New Living Translation emphasizes the ongoing action of Jesus' words: "And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and you will the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened" (Luke 11:9-10, NLT). Keep on doing it. Keep on keeping on. Keep on praying! I also want to [...]

Follow the Example of These Courage Women of Faith

By James Goll|2021-04-19T09:21:55-05:00April 19th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

In the New Testament, we find many women who display aspects of every gift of the Spirit, whether or not they were aware of it.For example, take the Samaritan woman at the well, whose name is lost to history (see John 4:7-29). Jesus singled her out, and she is considered by many to be the first true evangelist in the Bible.When she told the townspeople the Good News about the Christ, many of them believed.Consider Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist and cousin of Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus.Both of these devout women were active in prayer, [...]

James Goll: Why Courage Is Worth Its Cost

By James Goll|2021-04-12T13:07:05-05:00April 12th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Courage doesn't take a large bank account, big muscles or impressive beauty. It simply requires making yourself available and being willing to obey. And it is always worth it. Some of you may think that you are the most unlikely candidate for God to use to accomplish anything significant. Most of us think of ourselves in that way. The world teaches us that it is the rich, the powerful or the beautiful who are important and make a difference in the world. That's not what God teaches. He doesn't think or work the way the world does. The prophet [...]

Why You Need Spiritual Discernment in This Hour

By James Goll|2021-04-05T14:57:08-05:00April 5th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Satan's number one weapon is deception. Your number one need is discernment. Someone once said, "To be forewarned is to be forearmed." That is why you need discernment in this hour. That old saying captures a scriptural truth: Discernment forewarns us so that we do not fall prey to subtle deceptions. Forewarning gives us courage, too, as we find out what we are dealing with and what to do. "The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons" (1 Tim. 4:1, NASB). The above [...]

James Goll: 7 Practical Ways to Pray for Souls

By James Goll|2021-03-29T14:44:19-05:00March 29th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

It is so important to keep the main thing the main thing. God always has eternity on His mind, and we must have the gospel of the kingdom on our minds and hearts at all times as well. We need an infusion of passion for souls! How else are we going to see the billion-soul harvest, especially of youth and beyond?I remember an encounter I had when ministering at Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California, when the seer realm opened up before me. I saw these huge glowing letters right in front of me: "S. H. O. P." I wondered what [...]
