From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I have the utmost respect for prophet James Goll...I always look forward to reading his latest revelations and what the Lord is saying to him.

There is no doubt...we are living in great times of transition and change.

James sheds light on this very subject and what he shares here will really help you:

Are we going from one era of history into another? How big is this transition? As someone who has had a love for history and has been a participant in multiple waves or movements of the Holy Spirit throughout my life, I am often asked, "What are the requirements to go from one stage to the next?" We must also consider this question: "To go through an open door, are there old doors we must close first?"

So let's look together at some critical principles that will help you succeed in these times of transition...

"10 Prophetic Principles in a Time of Great Transition"

James W. Goll, Franklin, TN

We are in a time of an enormous transition in society at large with many cities and nations being weighed in the balance. This level of turmoil on an international scale reflects the condition of the Body of Christ. It is a time of upheaval and contention, which ultimately results in change. I believe there are 10 key prophetic principles that will help you not just survive, but thrive in times of transition.

We are at a crossroads of change. This is true politically in the Middle East, the Korean Peninsula, the US, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and many other nations. Every continent is being shaken in one way or another.

Issues such as global economics, the very moral foundation of this generation, uncivil wars, polarization, concerns of social justice and health care reform are in a time of convulsive shaking. The intense battle over the selection of a Supreme Court Justice of the United States is critical indeed. During this time, the Body of Christ needs to be a pillar of prayer releasing prophetic solutions to bring hope during times when everything that can be shaken is being shaken. We truly need grace for this transition!

"Most often, dealing with the new thing coming isn't what is difficult, it's the transition from the old state of affairs to the new one."

Are we going from one era of history into another? How big is this transition? As someone who has had a love for history and has been a participant in multiple waves or movements of the Holy Spirit throughout my life, I am often asked, "What are the requirements to go from one stage to the next?" We must also consider this question: "To go through an open door, are there old doors we must close first?"

So let's look together at some critical principles that will help you succeed in these times of transition.

From Narrow—to Transition—to Enlargement

We are in a process of change. The government of the Church is changing. The level of our authority is changing. Gifts are being drawn out of us in stretching dimensions. Many in the Body of Christ are going through places of testing and confinement which I would call a narrow place.

What is this "narrow place?" It is a place less wide than that to which we have expected or are accustomed. If we respond properly to the "narrow or confined place" we will enter into a phase of "transition" to be brought into a "larger place" in the Spirit.

Transition is like the camel going through the eye of the needle—it was a narrow gate. The only way the camel could get through was to be unloaded. This is the needle—the narrow gate. The weights of the past must be unloaded and we must enter a place of fresh commitment to the cross where we die to self all over again. The "narrow place" can lead us out of captivity into a new open field. (Photo via James Goll)

Another way to express it is that we are going from an "old wineskin to a new wineskin." As the "new wine" is poured we must develop flexible new wineskins to contain the increase. Old structures will be tested in these times as the next wave of the Holy Spirit emerges. But will these wineskins in both society and the Church be able to handle all this change? How can we succeed in making this degree of transition as nations, people groups, cities and the Church?

How Can You Succeed in Transition?

Transition means passing from one condition into another. Transition times are when the Lord redefines and adjusts the rules in a way necessary for us to move forward. He gives us new focus and direction. He teaches us about Himself in a new way.

In a literary sense, a transition is the phrase that connects a previous sentence or paragraph with a future thought. In times of change, we must seek the Lord for both revelation and the ways of God. His revelatory perspective bridges the past season with the new one. Without clear revelation and communication during transition, we can lose the strength and wisdom of our past victory. We desperately need His strength to go from glory to glory and from change to change.

During a birth, transition is the most difficult time. It is the time when a mother feels, "I can not go any further!" Only the vision of the child to come causes the endurance and perseverance to press through to the ultimate goal of a lineage and legacy being secured.

Most often, dealing with the new thing coming isn't what is difficult, it's the transition from the old state of affairs to the new one. How we respond during times of transition prior to the new birth makes all the difference. As you travail in these seasons, ask the Lord to give you strategy to protect your vision. Remember, the dragon attempts to steal any new birth. Press forward! Cry out for greater grace to be granted to keep you moving forward.

When these changes manifest, enlargement occurs. To "enlarge" is to expand, to set free, to become greater in size and intensity. Enlargement—or going through the new door or new season—is a process, not just a proclamation. Press through the narrow place, embrace the transition and receive enlargement.

10 Prophetic Principles within the Process of Change

"During this time, the Body of Christ needs to be a pillar of prayer releasing prophetic solutionists to bring hope during times when everything that can be shaken is being shaken."

These thoughts on transition and change are not just theory to me. I have been tested over and over again. Many of you know the hardships I have personally faced over the past decade (and am still facing). Deep within my heart, I knew that the very foundation of this 32 year-old ministry (originally named Ministry to the Nations, which became Encounters Network, and now is God Encounters Ministries) was going to be shaken at its core.

I had to be willing to lay it all on the Lord's altar and dismantle what took me decades to build. This summer at 66 years old, I have been in another crucible. I felt a little like Abraham, taking my Isaac to the mountain. The only instrument of worship I possessed was a knife with which to potentially sacrifice my Isaac. But then the Lord!

Has everything changed? Not on the surface. I know this—I pushed the button called "trust in the Lord". If we, as a ministry, were to pass through this pressure-filled transition, then we would need the Holy Spirit to invigorate us and allow us to build once again instead of dismantling. This amazing God we serve brings beauty out of ashes.

During my protracted transition, I have actually had very little personal direction. Only one phrase continually stuck with me, "Do you trust Me?" I would answer, "Yes, I do trust You, Lord!" I decided whether the ministry lived or died was not the primary issue. The Lord wanted all of me all over again. No matter what! What if I never traveled to the nations again? What if I never wrote another book or what if I fell off the radar of the conference circuit? Would I trust Him? The bottom line was—my answer is "Yes"! What is your answer?

The following are ten prophetic principles within the process of change that have helped guide me through yet another perilous time of transition:

• A new level of revelation is released.
• Your present vision starts to be adjusted.
• New vision is secured and established.
• A mantle of restoration is placed upon you.
• You go through healing concerning things of the past.
• A new identity is developed within you.
• Fresh strategies are revealed to you.
• You see a greater fullness of your inheritance before you.
• You possess the strength to overthrow your enemies.
• You secure your new inheritance. (Photo via James Goll)

The Key: Embrace the Process

My prayer is that if you are experiencing a "narrow place of confinement" or you sense you are in transition, be assured—He is about to visit you with a fresh demonstration of His Spirit. Here is the key to make it through these tumultuous times: embrace the process! Embrace the change as something good—not as a punishment.

Let fresh faith arise. May you be renewed! May your resources increase and may you see that your trials will become stepping stones to renewed power and vision.

And know this—when you have come through the new door there are others watching your pilgrimage. When you are strengthened, you will carry a larger capacity to turn and strengthen others in Jesus' glorious name! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

God is Speaking in Your Dreams — Do You Understand what He's Saying? by James W. Goll Identity Network

God is Speaking in Your Dreams — Do You Understand what He's Saying? by James W. Goll

Identity Network

 

Did you know that God uses a language that is tailor made to speak directly to you? After all, He created you, so that shouldn't come as too big a surprise. The inventor of language is a master communicator. Not only does He reveal Himself plainly to all of mankind in scripture, He also speaks to us personally in dreams and visions. Do you understand what He is saying?

 

Dreams and visions are often the language full of emotions and therefore contain much symbolism. We must learn to take our interpretations first from Scripture and then from our own lives. Throughout Scripture God is consistent with His symbolic language. The symbolism He uses in Genesis will be similar to that found in Revelation. In fact, one of the fundamental principles of biblical interpretation is the "law of first use." This simply means that how a word or image or symbol is used in its first appearance in Scripture is a key to how it should be interpreted throughout the Bible. This consistency in symbolic language runs true in our own lives as well.

 

The Language of Symbols

 

Let me explain a little further. In the Bible, the number six often is used as a symbol for mankind. How do we know this? Refer back to the first chapter of Genesis. What happened on the sixth day of creation? Man was created. Day six is the day of man. Now let's go to the other end of the Bible, to the Book of Revelation. There we find the reference to the number 666, which is plainly identified as "the number of a man" (Rev. 13:18 NKJV). In the Greek there is no definite article preceding the word for "man" in this verse, so it could also be translated simply as "the number of man." The number 666 represents a false trinity, the exaltation of man — humanism being worshiped as a god. In both Genesis and Revelation, therefore, the number six is associated with mankind.

 

Here is another similar example. What happened on the seventh day of creation? God rested because He had finished His creative work. Therefore, the number seven is the number of rest or completion. According to the four Gospels combined, how many statements did Jesus make from the cross? Seven. The last of these was, "It is finished!" (see John 19:30). Jesus had finished His work; He had completed His mission. Now He could rest. Throughout the Bible the number seven is symbolically associated with rest and completion.

 

Handling Personal Revelation

 

A similar principle applies when God speaks revelation to you. When He first introduces a word or a symbol or an image to you in a dream, you may not understand it in the beginning. But you will get it eventually, and that word, symbol, or image will become part of a pattern. Once it is introduced into your spiritual alphabet, it will become consistent in it's meaning for you.

 

For example, let's say that you have a dream in which an apple appears and you discern through the Holy Spirit that it symbolizes Israel because Zechariah 2:8 refers to Israel as the "apple" of God's eye. Once the image of the apple has entered your spiritual alphabet as a symbol for Israel, you can be confident that whenever that image appears in a future dream, the dream has something to do with the nation of Israel. God is consistent with His revelatory symbolism.

 

Three Realms for Interpretation of Symbols

 

When seeking interpretation of symbolic dream and vision language, the first place you should look always is in Scripture. The Bible is full of parables and allegories from which to draw types, shadows, and symbols. Here are some examples: the mustard seed as a metaphor for faith (see Matt. 13:31-32); incense representing the prayers of the saints (see Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4); seed as a symbol for the Word of God (see Luke 8:11); and candlesticks symbolizing the church (see Rev. 1:20). If your dream has the same symbolic image as one found in the Bible, chances are it has the same meaning.

 

After Scripture, a second place to look for interpretation of your revelatory symbols is in colloquial expressions that fill our memory bank. The Holy Spirit turns these into pictorial language. God takes these "sayings" and idioms and uses them to speak spiritual truth. One example of this is found in Judges 7:9-15 where a barley cake appears to Gideon in a dream. Since Gideon had spent much of his life as a thresher of wheat and barley, the barley cake was a symbol from his colloquial spiritual alphabet and had distinct meaning to him.

 

In the same way, God will speak to you with colloquial expressions that are familiar to you but might not be to someone else. If you are from the northern or northeastern part of the country, your colloquialisms will be different than those of someone from the Deep South, and God will speak to you accordingly.

 

The third realm for interpreting these prophetic symbols comes from our own personal revelatory alphabet. This is similar to the second realm in that the objects or symbols do not mean the same thing to you as they would to someone else. Even in the Bible the same symbol or image sometimes means something different depending on how it is used or who receives it. These exceptions, however, do not violate the law of first use.

 

God often works more than one way at a time. And sometimes the symbol or image involved has more than one facet or aspect, which allows for some variations in meaning. Context determines interpretation.

 

The Bible uses the image of a lamb in several different ways. In Isaiah, the Messiah is presented as a Lamb led to the slaughter. John's Gospel presents Jesus as the Good Shepherd and His disciples as little lambs. The Book of Revelation reveals Jesus Christ the Lamb as a Conqueror. Spiritually speaking, all three of these images are true to a lamb's nature: it is led to the slaughter, it follows its shepherd, and it conquers in the end by walking in humility because the meek will inherit the earth.

 

Actual Versus Visual

 

Insights, revelations, warnings, and prophecies from the Lord may come in supernatural visual dreams or in actual dreams. Visual symbolic dreams are visual revelations that do not involve as much active participation on the part of the dreamer as with an actual visitation from the Lord. The dreamer simply observes and receives the message. These visual dreams may contain more symbols, mysteries, and obscurities than do other types of revelation.

 

Actual dreams are those in which God's tangible presence is evident in some way. To see the Lord in a dream is visual, but for the Lord to manifest Himself to you in a dream is actual. If you dream something angelic and sense that same presence when you wake up, it was more than just a visual symbolic dream. The angels were probably actually present. Quite often this will reveal itself in the form of a riveting awareness all over your body of a divine presence in the room. But if there was no such manifested presence when you awakened, then the dream was simply visual, although it may still contain a wonderful message from God.

 

A manifestation of blessing, healing, deliverance, or endowment of power requires an actual visitation from the Lord in some form. Such manifestations involve an impartation of God's anointing, which will manifest in the natural realm. Therefore, an actual impartation occurs and the person actively participates although his or her body is asleep.

 

A Very Special Personal Encounter

 

I have vivid memories of a very special dream encounter that I refer to as "the Bread of His Presence" dream. In one of them I was carrying loaves of bread and was searching for the little mint-green blanket that belonged to our daughter Rachel. Rachel loved that blanket and for quite a few years carried it with her just about everywhere she went. In my dream, I found Rachel's blanket and wrapped the loaves of bread in it. I held them closely to my chest and noticed that the bottom of each loaf was a little satin napkin that looked like a diaper.

 

This was more than a symbolic dream only because there was an actual presence in the room. I was asleep, but the Holy Spirit was very active. Even asleep I was talking out loud and prophesying. This was more than just a message I passively received. I declared, "Just as we parents learn to love, nurture, care for, and cherish our newborn child, so should we as believers care for, love, and cherish the bread of God's presence; then revival will come."

 

When I woke up, my arms were outstretched over my chest as though I was clutching those loaves of bread tightly to my chest as if they were my very own babies, wrapped in my daughter's blanket. Even as I woke I heard myself prophesying, "When we as parents will care for, love, and nourish the bread of His presence, like a parent does his newborn child, then we will have revival." In fact, I was the one who was being revived. I loved God's presence just as I had our newborn child. Though I did not see any angels in the room upon waking, the manifested presence of God was so strong you could almost cut it with a knife! Yes, let's love the bread of His presence!

 

Some of our experiences are full of symbolism and others…well, they are just flat out another dimension. God shows up and shows off. When that happens, how do you write that down? With as much emotive passion as possible! Yes, God Himself still comes to visit His kids! So open up your heart and receive from the God who loves to encounter you in your dreams — He is speaking your language!

 

Dreaming with God,

Why You May Be Limiting the Flow of Holy Spirit's Power in Your Life - JAMES W. GOLL CHARISMA NEWS

Why You May Be Limiting the Flow of Holy Spirit's Power in Your Life

 3/3/2018 JAMES W. GOLL  CHARISMA NEWS

"Ask rain from the Lord during the season of the latter spring rains. And the Lord will make the storm winds; and He will give them showers of rain; all will have vegetation in the field" (Zech. 10:1, MEV).

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! You 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 is the length of your reach to God. Ask for rain.

One of the primary scriptures prayed throughout the revival pages of history is this particular passage from Zechariah 10:1. This scripture urges us—no, it compels us—to believe God for something bigger than we have ever dreamed or conceived. God has a big dream in his heart. He wants to the see the earth filled with the "knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the seas" (Hab. 2:14).

Many of us have pushed some of the greatest prophetic promises of God into the millennial age or even the eternal hereafter. But the Holy Spirit is urging some of us to think big, ask big and plan big. Some of us are being rearranged in some of our thinking and we are crying out to the Lord to bring some of what we projected only for the future into our now.

Join me and thousands of other hungry, radical believers who "Ask for Rain in the times of the Latter Rain." Check out the new Ask for the Rain book with chapters by Bill Johnson, Michael Brown, myself and others.

We want to see you equipped to pray, strategize and implement cooperative efforts to see the greatest harvest of souls and movement of the Holy Spirit in Jewish and church history! Let's labor together to see the "lamb of God receive the rewards for His suffering." Ask for rain!

James W. Goll: "5 Prophetic Words for 2018"

The Elijah List, Dec 26, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

As I read the title of James Goll's latest article "5 Prophetic Words for 2018" I couldn't wait to open it and see what he had to say.

James is one in the Body that when he speaks...I listen. PLUS, I can't wait to hear what James will share at our upcoming conference, "What is Heaven Planning for 2018?"

"5 Prophetic Words for 2018"

James W. Goll, Franklin, TN

As we approach 2018, these are five clear prophetic words that I hear the voice of the Lord declaring. Join me in believing that we are moving from the Great Reformation to the beginning of the Great Transformation in the earth.

We have just shifted into the New Hebrew year 5778 and in the civil calendar we are headed into 2018. The number for "grace" is 5, and 7 is the number of completeness. The number for a new beginning is 8. 

So, there is "grace to complete old tasks in order to proceed into the new things" that the Lord has for us. It is a season of shifting.

Here are 5 Prophetic Words for 2018:

1. A Time When God's Purposes Accelerate

It is a time when innovation arises within the Church. On the Day of Atonement in the fall of 2017, I had a very intense and dramatic encounter. I heard the voice of the Lord thunder in my bedroom, "These are the beginning of the Days of Acceleration."

Acceleration: a vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time: a Formula One car is superior to an Indy car in its acceleration; increase in the rate or speed of something: the acceleration of the industrialization process PHYSICS: the rate of change of velocity per unit of time

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 – The Promise and the Condition: "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God..."

Jeremiah 1:9-12 – It's Time to Build: "Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: 'Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.' Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'Jeremiah, what do you see?' And I said, 'I see a branch of an almond tree,' Then the LORD said to me, 'You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.'"

"The time is upon us for the birthing of Kingdom consultants and prophetic solutionists."

Yes, this is the beginning of the Days of Acceleration. What took ten years to do could take one year. It is a time when God's purposes swiftly move forward. But there are always conditions that must be met. We must align with the Word of God and His character to carry the gift.

Let's pray together that God brings His Acceleration into our lives so that His purposes come forth swiftly!

2. A Time When a New Prophetic Language Will Be Developed

In order to reach the New Fields of Harvest, it is essential that a new prophetic language be developed to reach different groups of people.

It is Time:

• When New Wineskins are created to carry the New Wine.
• When a new sound creates a new voice that can be heard in new arenas.
• When the Prophetic Movement is aligned to speak from a Kingdom Posture.
• When Prophets give Words to Kings.
• When the Voice and Activity of Healing is second nature.

This is not a watering down of the content—it is building bridges to carry cargo. There is a great SHIFT—in places where the Marketplace has supported the Church, the Church instead will support the marketplace. Daniels are made in Babylon—he was the answer to the problems in his day. We are not the alternative—we are the answer. We are not just called to solve problems; like Daniel we are to carry wisdom to impact government and every sphere of society. (Photo via James Goll)

3. A Time When Kingdom Consultants Shine

It is a Time:

• When God Releases new S.O.A.P.! These cleansing agents—Schools of Apostles and Prophets—will cooperate together and no competition zones will be declared!
This clear word was spoken to me in November 2017 at the Global Prophetic Summit in Dallas, TX:

"It is not the day where there are NO Fathers and Mothers. Never Again! There was a day when you had no teachers. Never Again! There was a day when there were no prophets. Never Again! There was a day when there were no Apostles. Never Again! There was a day when there were no Evangelists. Never Again! These are the Days of the Cluster Anointing. The New Wine is found in the cluster.

"The call is out for you to be the Father and Mothers; to be the Grandfathers and the Grandmothers who lead My people in the grand procession of My presence. And when you have My presence you have My presents. And when you have My presence you have everything that Jesus obtained on the Cross. These are the days of Fathers and Mothers and Grandfathers and Grandmothers."

It is a time when titles will not determine one's identity. We have already had a "title wave"; what we now need is a "tidal wave" to hit the Body of Christ and confront and cleanse us from any false identity being derived from our positions, functions, titles, experiences or gifting. When we relearn how to walk in a culture of honor, we realize that it is more about heart relational connections of the heart and walking in integrity. Yes, you will receive a prophet's reward.

It is time when the Apostolic and the Prophetic become less religious and learn how to bring practical, real solutions. The time is upon us for the birthing of Kingdom consultants and prophetic solutionists. These anointed men and women of God are to be in the Church, but not stuck in the Church.

In the second apostolic age of the Church, these sent ones become Kingdom Consultants in every sphere of life. Over the years I have referred to this as Hope Ambassadors. It is time for Kingdom Administrators experiencing moments of prophetic revelation be turned into movements of prophetic reformation. These are the new Kingdom Consultants!

Consider the following principles and concepts:

• Miracles in the Marketplace.
• The Supernatural is Natural.
• Integrity is the Brand Name that is worn.
• These Kingdom people cannot be bought or sold.
• They have conquered a bear and a lion and now the will take on Goliaths.

4. A Time When Intimacy and Warring Converge

"It is a time when innovation arises within the Church."

Previously, we had an era in which the Holy Spirit emphasized spiritual warfare. This was followed by an era in the global prayer movement that was centered more around Bridal intercession. We will now move into a convergence of Worshipping Warriors and Warring Brides. It is a time when there is a merger—between intimacy and the warrior—resulting in love motivated warfare.

It is the time for those who know the Inward Journey into the secret place of God (Psalm 91) to move out into demonstrations of External Works of Power. Those walking in an Outward reach will see with greater clarity the necessity for the Upward reach. The Outward Believers will be empowered by the Inward Life and the Inward will be challenged to become channels of love in practical ways.

Yes, the Bride wears army boots. Bridal Intercession is where the beauty of the Lord meets Bold Spiritual Warfare, and Valiant and Violent ones come forth.

5. A Time When the Knowledge of the Glory of the Lord Multiplies

"The knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the water covers the seas." (See Hab. 2:14; Joel 2, Acts 2)

There was a dramatic climate change as a result of the combined ministry of the prophets that are listed in 1 Kings 18. Three years of drought were shifted into years of rain and plenty. We are in those times once again. (Photo via James Goll)

This is a time when we go beyond the personal gift of prophesy and we prophesy out of the glory realm. It is a metamorphosis including seclusion, melt down, reconfiguring and breaking out. You must see the Church with new eyes. You must see there is no wall that separates the sacred and the secular. You must see your business, government and secular occupations as mission fields. When we see from the glory realm of God, we receive revelation to transform society. The glory of the Lord is viewed as a traveling canopy—releasing holy presence and holy power and holy conviction.

CONVERGENCE: There is a convergence of the glory and the marketplace. Jesus in the last hour went to the marketplace and declared, "This is My House of My presence." Knowledge will increase—not only the experience, but the capacity to teach, train and multiply the glory realm of the Lord.

Psalm 68:33-35, "To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies. O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!"

Join Me in a Prayer of Dedication for 2018!

Father, in Jesus' wonderful name, we consecrate ourselves to You and Your purposes in our lives and in our generation. We declare that we are receiving a fresh measure of Your grace to complete the assignments previously given to us. With faith and obedience, we align ourselves to pass under the Shepherd's rod and come into the new season You have for each one of us. Thank You that these are the Days of Acceleration and that Your plans and purposes will be swiftly established in Jesus great name! Amen and Amen! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

James W. Goll: "In Turbulent Times, One Simple Choice Changes Everything!" - THE ELIJAH LIST

James W. Goll: "In Turbulent Times, One Simple Choice Changes Everything!"

THE ELIJAH LIST Oct 17, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Many recent "comers" to the prophetic ministry may not know or realize that James Goll is truly one of the early FATHERS of the prophetic movement. James is a friend, and he loves the prophetic movement. He has prophesied things in my life that have come true in astonishing detail.

Now read this by James from only a couple weeks ago:

On September 30th, 2017, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, I had a prophetic encounter in the middle of the night. While asleep in my home, I had an electric burst of energy hit my body. Though this power surge lasted but a moment, it resulted in a manifestation of the voice of God bursting forth within me. I was awakened hearing myself prophesy, "The Days of Acceleration. It's the Beginning of the Days of Acceleration!"

That should be enough to get you excited about this word. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"In Turbulent Times, One Simple Choice Changes Everything!"

James W. Goll, Franklin, TN

In today's global society we continue to see an increase of violence, rampant shootings, riots, tumultuous weather patterns, racial strife, instability in North Korea, chaos in Syria and the Middle East, Russia's re-emergence, and wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:3-14). How are we to respond in these perilous times (2 Timothy 3:1)? These events leave us with a simple choice that we must make. 

This one question must be answered: Will we respond in Fear or Faith?

In a time of confusion, strife and fierce anti-Semitism, the stateswoman Corrie Ten Boom declared, "There is no panic in Heaven! God has no problems, only plans."

If the Church is pushing the panic button instead of faith and trust, prayer and confidence towards God, what do we expect the world to look like? Instead, we must create a culture of Faith instead of Fear!

What Time Is It?

"The Days of Acceleration. It's the Beginning of the Days of Acceleration!"

Many of us are aware that Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19). Like Jesus, we must also be about our Father's business (see Luke 2:49). Not only are we to be tuned into doing what He does, but we must get synced into His timetable and do what He wants when He wants it done. As a result, we must periodically ask ourselves the pertinent and strategic question, "What time is it?"

To be able to discern the times and the seasons and give wisdom application for the days in which we live (1 Chronicles 12:32), we must learn to recognize, honor and build upon the various historical birthings of the Holy Spirit in our midst. We are not to despise the day of a small beginning (Zechariah 4:10).

Some Demarcations in the Calendar of God

• 20 years ago Promise Keeper's hosted the Million-Man March in Washington, DC. God remembers that time of holy consecration and will answer with a turnaround in the Supreme Court of the U.S.A.

• 20 years ago Women on the Frontlines was birthed in Nashville, TN. Today there is a godly global women's movement that will confront the global sex-trade industry.

• 50 Years ago was the birth of the Charismatic Renewal in the Christian Churches. This is one of the largest and most impacting movements in all of church history. Another wave is coming!

• 50 Years ago was the birth of the Jesus People Movement on the West Coast of the United States. A remnant of that very movement is now emerging as leaders in the new apostolic era.

• 50 Years ago was the birth of the Messianic Movement with thousands of Jewish people finding Jesus as their Messiah. What will come next? (Photo via James Goll)

• 50 Years ago as a result of the 6-Day War, Jerusalem became a united city under Jewish governing rule. This is one of the greatest a modern-day miracles fulfilling Biblical prophecy.

• 500-years ago was the beginning of the Great Reformation when Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis on the wooden door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. We are now crossing over into the beginning of a great transformation.

A Prophetic Encounter

On September 30th, 2017, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, I had a prophetic encounter in the middle of the night. While asleep in my home, I had an electric burst of energy hit my body. Though this power surge lasted but a moment, it resulted in a manifestation of the voice of God bursting forth within me. I was awakened hearing myself prophesy, "The Days of Acceleration. It's the Beginning of the Days of Acceleration!" Yes, I was awakened! Indeed, I was walking through another prophetic parable for the Body of Christ.

What time is it? It is the beginning of the Days of Acceleration where the purposes of God are sped up. It is time for an awakening of the power and the voice of God. It is time for a global awakening.

How Should We Respond?

"What time is it?"

In these turbulent times, what must we do? How should we live? Are we going to be casualties on the battlefield or warriors enforcing the victory of Calvary? The choice is ours! We must act in the opposite spirit of the world and cultivating the culture of faith instead of fear. 

Consider these two simple applications:

• Put on the Full Armor of God!

Paul wrote to the members of the church in Ephesus, "Put on the full armor of God" (Ephesians 6:11). His advice applies to every single member of the Body of Christ; that means each one of us must wear every piece of spiritual armor daily (Ephesians 6:14-18).

As an important part of that full armor, well-equipped Christians carry a "shield of faith." With the shield of faith, we can extinguish the fiery arrows of the evil one and shield our fellow soldiers (Ephesians 6:16). We must take it up and use it. But let's not just have a defensive mindset, let's have the mindset of an overcomer.

• Shine as Lights in the Midst of Darkness

Matthew 5:14 records the Words of Jesus where He said to His disciples, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."

John 8:12 states, "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.'"

Light always overcomes darkness. Indeed, Jesus is the Light. It is then our responsibility to be carriers of His penetrating light into the world, manifesting His brilliant presence into all the spheres of society today. (Photo via James Goll)

Yes, it's time for the days of acceleration. It's time for a new Jesus People Movement to emerge. It's time for the Feast of Tabernacles to be fulfilled. It's time for an end time harvest of souls. It's time for a global awakening to manifest. It's time for a fresh power surge to hit the Body of Christ. It's time for the Lamb of God to receive the rewards of His suffering. It's time for a global worship movement to proceed where the Spirit and the Bride declare, "Come quickly Lord Jesus, Come!" (Revelation 22:7).

Perhaps He is coming in an unprecedented outpouring of His presence to us before He comes for us. In the midst of these turbulent times, let faith arise within you and shine forth with the light of God into the world around you!
