Prophet: The Church Desperately Needs Heavenly Insight in This Hour

By James Goll|2020-04-09T14:46:53-05:00April 6th, 2020|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

There is a vacancy that needs to be filled on the earth. Could it be that in the "Help Wanted" section of God's news department, the Holy Spirit is listing a posting that says, "Needed: Heavenly Insight for the Hour"? God is looking for Spirit-filled believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to rise up as hope ambassadors or hope solutionists.

Why You Need Discernment in this Hour

Why We Must Confront the Deaf and Dumb Spirit in This Hour

By James Goll|2019-12-06T09:48:52-06:00February 11th, 2019|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

God wants you to hear clearly and declare the Word of the Lord freely. But there are forces of darkness that you must confront in order to be effective in your mission. Jesus told His disciples as recorded in Matthew 13:43, "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." You are called to confront and dislodge the demonic power that hinders you from hearing the Holy Spirit and attempts to rob you of your capacity to speak clearly. What is a spiritual stronghold? Ed [...]
