James Goll: How to Activate Your Spiritual Senses

By James Goll|2019-12-16T13:57:58-06:00December 3rd, 2018|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

When we surrender our senses to our Creator, He enhances them. Each of us needs to become a discerner—no matter what our personal background or specific gift or function in the body of Messiah. Although some believers are especially gifted as prophets, every follower of Jesus receives the gifts of revelation and discernment. And every believer needs to use them!

Living Outside of the Box!

By James Goll|2018-08-16T13:24:32-05:00August 9th, 2018|Recent Articles|2 Comments

God has a word for us, “NO MORE BOXES!” God does not live in a box. He did at one time—but ever since He broke out of the Ark of the Covenant, He has never lived in a box again. Of course, you and I tend to live in boxes that are often fairly nice, although cramped. They’re neat, but stuffy, old and stale.

3 Errors the Spirit of Deception Uses to Seduce You

By James Goll|2019-12-12T14:29:38-06:00July 16th, 2018|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Satan loves to deceive—it is vital that we discern. I have an urgency that is arising in my heart to blow a trumpet and to warn the body of Christ. The devil is a liar and the father of lies (see John 8:44). Now hold on as I share my heart with you. Recently, a well-known leader and author whom I know, has gone off the deep end into aberrant sexual exploitation, all under the guise of "being free in Christ." But the grace of God is meant to lead us to repentance and the knowledge of the truth [...]

Biblical Keys to Hearing the Voice of God Clearly

By James Goll|2019-12-16T11:35:05-06:00July 9th, 2018|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

"I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks, and in the midst of the seven candlesticks was one like a Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and with a golden sash wrapped around the chest. The hair on His head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters" (Rev. 1:12-15). God not only wants [...]
