10 Essential Principles of Divine Guidance
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” John 16:13 NASV The Geiger Counter and Hearing God A German physicist invented the Geiger counter in 1945. It is an instrument used for detecting the presence and intensity of radiation. When radiation is detected the device makes a distinct clicking sound. The closer you get to the substance and the greater intensity of its matter, the louder and faster the clicking [...]
How to Overcome Satan’s 4 Favorite Tactics
You have to run over the devil before he runs over you. You are standing on a battlefield (a different one from the one you were standing on last year at this time). You may be standing in the middle of an army or you may be standing all alone. Are you just going to stand there, waiting to see what will happen? Or are you going to do something that will allow you to get, and keep, the upper hand? King David gave us a psalm that we should graft into ourselves so that we can be true overcomers: “I pursued my enemies [...]
Prayer for Egypt
The situation is critical – we saw similar situation to this change in Brazil as we called the nation to pray. 2 Chronicles 7:14 The Trumpet is Sounding!....A Cry for EGYPT... "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!" Nehemiah 4:19-20 As times intensify, it is becoming increasingly vital to be connected and building relational strength in and between regions. As relationships build, it is amazing how God changes our hearts and suddenly the depths [...]
Whole Women Lead Well
Years ago by the providence of God I found myself facing circumstances that confronted my ultra-conservative belief systems - including the mindset that “Women Belong in the Kitchen.” The resulting radical shift eventually led me to become a coach, advocate, and champion for women in ministry and leadership. What a story of transformation it has been! As I was unknowingly thrust into this arena, I was exposed to the controversies, adversaries, and abuses both in the church and world-systems. I was confronted by the atrocities done historically as well as present day. I wept. I repented. I humbled myself and asked the forgiveness of my wife [...]
Which Will It Be: A Culture of Fear or Faith?
In today’s global society with violence escalating, rampant shootings, riots, tumultuous economic times, wars and rumors of wars happening on an almost daily basis, we have some basic choices to make. What guides me? What directs you? Fear or Faith? Which way will our nations head? "Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, 'Why couldn't we drive it out?' He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" Matthew 17:19–20 (NIV) [...]
Beautiful Dreamers – Compassion Acts Transitions Forward
From the Desk of James W. Goll Greetings to You in Jesus' Great Name! It’s a time of strategic transition at EN as we follow the Lamb's leadership in this ministry.

I Urge You to Pray!
I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 NASB The United States of America is at a critical time in our nation's history. It seems like we are repeating a precarious cycle from 50 years ago. In the 1960’s we experienced [...]
It’s Time to Ask for Revival Rain!
Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain – The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man. Zechariah 10:1 Ask for Rain! Ask for More Rain! And then ask again for, “More Lord!” When the rain of God’s presence begins to fall in a manifested manner, you don’t just stop there! Do you? No! We must persist and ask for more! How much of the Holy Spirit do you want? How much of His presence can you handle? How hungry are you? The depth of your hunger [...]
