3 Ways You Can Flow in the Power of God

By James Goll|2021-03-22T10:59:05-05:00March 22nd, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Focusing on our need for water, Jesus tells His disciples that if we believe in Him, "rivers of living water" will flow out from within us, from our hearts (see John 7:38). Rivers, a Source of Life Entire civilizations have been built along waterways because of the access to flowing water for drinking, bathing and transporting both goods and people far and wide. As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual. Rivers Converging in One Flow In the opening of my book The Seer, I wrote about the Nile River, the longest river in the world, [...]

James Goll: How Spiritually Sensitive Are You?

By James Goll|2021-03-15T14:00:36-05:00March 15th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

When we say someone is "sensitive," what do we mean? In many cases, it means that we have to walk on eggshells around that person, right? We don't want to upset a sensitive person because of the potential fallout. In a positive sense, though, it can mean that the person's sensibilities are fine-tuned to pick up little environmental clues and subtle influences that help this individual navigate through life and relate to others. Extra-sensitive people are "feelers," and their antennae are always ready to receive signals. Without thinking about it, they will walk into a room and pick up the [...]

How You Can Experience the Emotions of God

By James Goll|2021-03-08T10:28:12-06:00March 8th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Does God have emotions? Yes, He does! And did you know that you can experience the emotions of God? Of course, God doesn't have fickle feelings and whimsical moods, nor is He influenced unduly by the condition of the world He has created. You can be sure that He never experiences "prophetic mood swings", either. God does not sit in heaven worrying over our earthly condition, wringing His hands with sweaty palms. I don't believe there is ever a conversation within the Godhead where something is said along the lines of, "Oh My, what are We going to do?" [...]

Prophet: Worshipping God Through Uncertain Times

By James Goll|2021-03-04T14:59:57-06:00March 1st, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Today's world is filled with so many uncertainties! Life seems to be more like a turbulent roller coaster ride with no clear end in sight rather than a nice walk in the park. Many things are not turning out the way we thought they would. We have a lot of choices to make in how we live our lives in the midst of on-going issues such as: — COVID-19. — Political unrest. — Chaos and confusion — Economic upheaval. — Social media censorship. — Values in education. I have personally lived through a lot of uncertainty. I have felt [...]

How You Must Properly Steward Prophecy

By James Goll|2021-02-22T18:04:18-06:00February 22nd, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Much has been said in recent weeks regarding prophecy and its accuracy in the body of Christ. My intention in this article is not to call into question any particular prophetic word given or its interpretation or application—but rather it is to give solid scriptural principles by which we can grow and mature in stewarding prophetic revelation, interpretation and application moving forward. Years ago, when I was in Kansas City with Mike Bickle and others, Bill Hamon (a mature prophet who is the founder of an extensive ministry called Christian International) taught us about the meaning and importance of [...]
