We are approaching a time of a great crossroads going from the Hebrew year of 5779 to 5780! I believe this is monumental! We are in the culmination of a 30 year cycle. The profound prophetic promises of 30 years ago are being re-offered in this season. Another generation is arising who desire to cross over to the other side – from revelation revealed to revelation fulfilled! But do you know what else happened 30 [...]
Why Prophecy Is for Everyone (…Including You!)
I am firmly convinced that the current prophetic empowering is intended for the many, for the rank and file “ordinary” members of the Body of Christ, not just the few, the prophetic “superstars.” Successive waves of God’s Spirit will continue to unfold until Christ’s Church has been saturated with the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him (see Ephesians 1:17). Our Father God will not let up until His people are filled with the revelation of the loveliness of His Son. If that sounds inviting, you will know it’s for you! Moses came into this understanding in his [...]
Shawn Bolz: God Is Restoring the Dignity of Prophets in Our Time
I was sitting on a plane and I had about 20 text messages come through, each one a more important testimony or story than the last about how different friends had encountered actual prophets in our day who gave them prophetic words. These words all had stories attached and each prophet had brought different people into a place of great authority and connection in their sphere of society. Each one was a testimony of how the prophet had affected their life and how the outcome was forever different because of the word they had received. I was so excited because it wasn’t [...]
Shifting the Nations: An Invitation to Partner with God
By James W. Goll with Jonathan Stidham Many prophets, intercessors and key leaders across the global Body of Christ all agree that we are in a critical time which the prophet Joel declared, “Multitudes are in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:14) Could it be that there are multitudes of individuals who are in such a pivotal, strategic time, but also that the destiny of entire nations are also in a valley of decision? We (James W. Goll and Johnathan Stidham) believe this is the case. We believe many of you reading this article will be in agreement as well. Jesus said, [...]
Mike Bickle: Prayer Always Precedes God’s Promises and Purposes
Prayers that Strike the Mark are guided by and endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the will and the Word of God. As faithful prayer warriors align with God's heart, they focus on "prayer targets," under the direction of the Holy Spirit, in order to partner with Jesus in prayer that results in victory and breakthrough. Such prayer warriors, relentlessly reminding God of His Word, call forth heavenly intervention so that the earth will one day be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Prayer Precedes God's Promises Prayer always precedes the release of God's promises and purposes. [...]
Treasures from GEM
Have you ever been on a Treasure Hunt? Clues are left along and the way that lead to other clues that eventually leads to the prize? What fun! Today, innovative believer’s have turned that old game into a prophetic exercise where each one shares the impressions they are receiving from the Holy Spirit and they go out as a team looking for Treasures! I love it! It is an amazing team sport! It takes a Team. In Nashville and beyond, we often state, “We are better together!” It is so true and I need your help right now! I have a Treasure Chest [...]
Healing the Wounded Spirit: God’s Remedy for Persistent Hurts
The Broken Condition Described Jesus has come to heal the inside as well as the outside! In my walk with the Lord since childhood and being in full time vocational ministry for over 45 years, I found that one of the most common needs among believers and non believers alike, is the need for inner healing. I have needed Jesus to heal my wounded spirit and heal my broken heart in different seasons of my life. I am sure that you can relate. Scripture uses the terms heart and spirit often interchangeably. One thing for sure, we each need to tend to [...]
My Revelatory Dream of a Glorious Eschatology
I received a vivid dream in which a roundtable of key national and international leaders in the body of Christ were discussing the end times or eschatology (the Biblical study of the final destiny of the soul of mankind and the order of last days events). These various leaders represented diverse views on these subjects. At one end of the table was an important man known for a particular set of understandings; at the other end of the table was another influential leader who held a distinct and divergent interpretation to the first man in the dream. The atmosphere in the dream [...]
