I believe the agenda of the political spirit is being exposed in this hour, and it will take a discerning Church to see through the noise and pray with precision. Let's respond. Let's rise. Let's become a people of prophetic intercession and divine perception. Discernment is increasing. Are you ready to walk in it? In Christ, James W. Goll

Subject: You Were Born for Battle – Warring Kingdoms Why does life so often feel like a battle? Because it is. We are living in the midst of a spiritual war—and you were born in war and for war. That's the heart of the first lesson in our Mantled for Victory class, titled Warring Kingdoms. Let's anchor ourselves in this truth: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, powers, world forces of this darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places." — Ephesians 6:12 Five Key Foundations: 1. You were born in war and born for war. 2. All true warfare centers on God's Son, Jesus Christ. 3. You were created to bring pleasure to God. 4. The source of all warfare in the root of rebellion. 5. One of the most powerful weapons of spiritual warfare is forgiveness. Warfare Is Normal Spiritual warfare isn't just for a few—it's the normal Christian life. The Apostle Paul urges us to "fight the good fight" (1 Tim. 1:18) and reminds us that our weapons "are not carnal" (2 Cor. 10:4). God Himself is called "a man of war" (Ex. 15:3), "mighty in battle" (Ps. 24:8), and "the Lord of Hosts." The Enemy is Real The Bible describes our adversary as Satan, the accuser, deceiver, tempter, and destroyer. He rules a spiritual kingdom in opposition to God's, but Jesus has given you authority to overcome. (1 John 4:4) Rebellion Is the Root At the core of every conflict is rebellion—the refusal to submit to God's rule. But when we pray, "Thy Kingdom come," it begins with our own surrender. "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." (Isa. 57:21) But for those who submit—there is deep, lasting peace. No Neutral Ground There are only two kingdoms: God's and Satan's. In 1987, I witnessed firsthand the power of God shaking a nation steeped in darkness. A Voodoo priest declared over national radio: "Our kingdom is under siege!" That's what happens when the people of God rise up. You are mantled for victory. Walk in the authority of Christ. Use the weapons God has given you. There is no neutral ground—so take your stand. In His grip, James W. Goll God Encounters Ministries
James Goll here to share with you revelations from a recent spiritual encounter and give you some spiritual alerts for this critical hour– ALERT: Time for Shields Up! We are living in what Scripture calls an evil day (Ephesians 6:13)—a time of heightened spiritual conflict, global unrest, and divine warnings. But God has not left us without weapons. He is calling His people to lift up the shield of faith, stand in intercession, and engage in strategic warfare like never before. From this prophetic encounter, I want to share five urgent insights: Spiritual Warfare & Urgent Prophetic Warning We are in a full-scale spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:13–18 exhorts us to put on the full armor of God—and right now, the "shield of faith" is essential. This is not a season to be passive. It is a time to stand firm, pray fervently, and resist the enemy's schemes. What Does "Shields Up" Really Mean? The Apostle Paul referenced the Roman scutum—a large, door-sized shield designed for both personal and collective defense. In spiritual terms, "Shields Up" means activating our faith and locking arms with others in united intercession. Our strength multiplies when we shield one another. Prophetic Dreams & Personal Struggles I've recently had intense prophetic dreams—images of bombs, sirens, and conflict. These are not just natural warnings, but spiritual alerts. At the same time, I've been walking through personal battles, including physical affliction, but I believe even this is part of the warfare. I'm asking for your prayers as I stand to release this message with boldness and clarity. National Security Concerns & Strategic Prayer Prophet Cindy Jacobs recently released a word regarding potential threats from Iran, including sleeper cells in U.S. cities. This is not a time for fear, but for preemptive prayer. Cover your cities, military bases, and key infrastructures. Ask the Lord for divine intel, angelic protection, and the exposure of hidden dangers. Redemptive Hope Through Intercession Despite the weight of these warnings, we are not without hope. God always gives warnings so we can respond in prayer and see redemption. Just as Nineveh was spared through repentance, so too can nations be turned if we rise up in intercession. Send Judah first. Worship. War in the Spirit. Believe for God's purposes to prevail—especially in places like Iran, Jordan, and among the Kurdish people. There's a shaking in the nations—but Heaven is not silent.
"How to Wisely Confront Powers of Darkness" When Men - People - Go to War Welcome to this month's Global Prayer Storm Podcast! As we step into spring, a season when men go to war, I want to share with you how to wisely confront the powers of darkness. This message builds on February's theme of moving beyond renewal into authentic revival breakthrough. Our foundation today is Revelation 5:6, which reveals the Lamb slain, standing with seven horns (complete power) and seven eyes (complete knowledge), representing the seven Spirits of God sent into all the earth. This passage, tied to Isaiah 11, highlights the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord—all essential in spiritual warfare. Key Takeaways: Spiritual Warfare Requires Discernment – We must ask the Lord, Whose battle is this? When and how should it be fought? Some battles are ours, some belong to others, and some are won in intercession rather than direct confrontation. Worship is Our Warfare – Before engaging the enemy, we must first exalt the Lord, inquire of Him, and receive divine strategy. Removing the Enemy's Legal Rights – Many focus only on confessing sins but fail to displace the enemy. True breakthrough comes when we take our position in Christ and rebuke the powers of darkness in His name. Kingdom Advancement Comes Through Five Keys: Abiding – Cultivating intimacy with God. Appropriation – Receiving divine authority. Action – Stepping out in faith. Anointing – Relying on the Holy Spirit's power. Advancement – Moving forward in victory. There is no specific spiritual gift called "spiritual warfare" in the Bible because it is the birthright of every believer! You were born for this—to discern, intercede, and advance God's kingdom on earth. Let's rise up, hear the Lord's voice, and move forward in triumph!
A Visitation & Warning: Speak to the Rock—Don't Strike, A Prophetic Key to God's Promise Season 7 | Episode 12 Have you ever felt frustrated or disappointed when circumstances don't go as you expect—even when you believe you've heard from God? In this prophetic message, James G. shares a powerful encounter highlighting Moses' mistake of striking the rock instead of speaking to it. As we learn from Moses' example, anger and disappointment can keep us from fully entering into the promises God has prepared for us. Join James G. and God Encounters Ministries as we unpack this cautionary word, dive into key Scriptures from the Book of Numbers and Ephesians, and discuss how holding onto anger or resentment can disqualify us from the very breakthroughs we've been believing for. Learn how to address hidden heart issues, receive God's healing from past hurts, and walk in greater fear of the Lord—ultimately leading to deeper intimacy with Him and unlocking the next wave of revival. Whether you are in leadership, ministry, or just seeking to grow in your relationship with God, this teaching is a timely wake-up call. Stay tuned for heartfelt prayer, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in every season, the posture of our hearts determines whether we merely watch from the sidelines or step into the fullness of God's promises. Key Topics: • Lessons from Moses on obedience and anger • How disappointment and frustration can block your destiny • Embracing the fear of the Lord for deeper intimacy • Practical steps for releasing bitterness and offense Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this message with anyone needing encouragement to speak to the "rock" and see God's provision flow!
Our scriptures references are Habakkuk 3:2 and Isaiah 64:1-4, emphasizing the need for a deep and transformative revival rather than just moments of spiritual refreshing. James outlines five classic characteristics of revival: 1. A Passionate Denunciation of Sin – True revival includes a strong confrontation of sin, as seen in historic revivals and preachers like George Whitefield. 2. A Revelation of God's Holiness – Revival brings a profound awareness of God's holiness, moving beyond legalism to divine revelation. 3. A Deep Awareness of God's Love and Mercy – Revival is not just about conviction but also about experiencing God's love, as seen in ministries like D.L. Moody's. 4. A Heightened Consciousness of Eternity – Many modern churches fail to preach about heaven and hell, but revival restores urgency about eternal matters. 5. Experiential Conviction of Sin – True revival leads to deep personal conviction of sin, something that hyper-grace theology often neglects. James also shares testimonies, including an encounter where he repeatedly prophesied that a man was "going to hell." That man later had a near-death experience, spent 23 minutes in hell, and wrote a book about it. Goll shares that revival restores the full gospel message, including the reality of eternity and the necessity of repentance.
