Does Scripture Command Me to Pray for Israel and the Middle East?

By James Goll|2021-10-12T16:03:22-05:00September 13th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Does God's Word give any clear directives specifically to pray for Israel and the Middle East? We are not to be blown around by every whimsical wind of doctrine or the latest fad that hits the charismatic shores. We must be grounded in the Word of God. We must be knowledgeable of what the Scriptures have to say on a given matter. God is not impressed with our opinions or our preconceived, prejudicial thinking. God's Word has the authority and the final say! To know God's heart, we must diligently study God's Word as a prerequisite to being approved [...]

Have you ever felt like things were so difficult in your life that "no one cared" about what you were going through? I have. But the truth is, you always have an advocate — because God C.A.R.E.S.

Why It is Imperative to Pray and Take a Stand for Israel

By James Goll|2021-08-31T11:37:12-05:00August 30th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Nations are being weighed in the balance. These are tumultuous times. Much is at stake right now, and society is rapidly changing right before our eyes. It is extremely important to have God's perspective and to land on God's side in these critical times. I believe it is imperative that once again we take a good, hard look at what God's Word says about the land of Israel and His covenant promises. So, let's set our gaze clearly and surely concerning the apple of God's eye. Let's be grounded in the foundational understandings of why I pray and take a [...]

Can You Accelerate the Return of Jesus?

By James Goll|2021-08-23T12:22:38-05:00August 23rd, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

The Day of His Appearing In the midst of all that is happening around the world today, are you and I able to accelerate the return of Jesus? Some would say we absolutely cannot hasten the return of the Lord because, in their theological take on the providence of God, everything is preordained. I believe very much in the sovereignty of God. I also believe He gave us free will, and He invites us into the mystery and destiny of being a co-laborer with Christ. As we consider whether we can hasten His appearing, let's ask another question: Is [...]

Prophet: Praying for the Wisdom Ways of God

By James Goll|2021-08-16T09:33:22-05:00August 16th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52, MEV). Wisdom is one of the primary qualities of God's Holy Spirit—in Isaiah 11:1-3, the spirit of wisdom is listed as one of the seven Spirits of God. He is wisdom personified: "God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself" (1 Cor. 1:30a, NLT). I would say wisdom is even more vital to prophetic people, than the divine revelation they receive, because only through God-sent wisdom can they know how to handle the [...]
