Your heart was created for the Presence of God.

It’s one thing to believe God’s presence is in you, it’s quite another to experience the joy of deep and abiding intimacy with Him.

You are meant to live in daily awareness of God’s brilliant presence.

There is a journey into the special place God has for you. It is not found in busyness or the hustle and bustle of spiritual activity, it is found in Jesus’ words, “Abide in Me.”

There is only ONE who will satisfy you—and that is God Himself.

But how do you abide in God’s Presence? What are the keys to finding a deeper walk with God? How do you experience communion with the lover of your soul?

Scripture and church history have left a trail blazed by the lives of men and women who have learned the ways of quieting their souls to enter the secret place of greater intimacy with God.

For over four decades, James Goll has passionately followed these paths and personally discovered the joy of encountering God’s brilliant presence.

In this class, James will lead you on the road to true intimacy, teaching you the riches of abiding prayer through Quieting Your Soul before God, Listening, Waiting, and Watching in Prayer, The Ministry of Fasting, Contemplative Prayer, and more.

If you want to follow the ancient paths God has given you to abide in His brilliant presence in moment-by-moment awareness, you won’t want to miss this class!
