What does it mean to be properly postured in prayer? In this episode of the Praying Discerners Podcast, James Goll calls believers to remain sober, vigilant, and spiritually alert. Drawing from 1 Peter 5, Isaiah 62, James 5, and the story of Esther, he explains how humility, submission to God, steadfast faith, and spiritual discernment prepare us to resist the enemy and pray effectively. Watchmen cannot afford to fall asleep at their posts. We are called to recognize the times, seek God's heart, sound the right alarm, and pray according to His will—not simply react to news, politics, or fear. Let this message awaken you to stand firm, watch carefully, act wisely, and remain properly postured in prayer for such a time as this. 

Can a nation be born in a day, or does prophetic fulfillment unfold through travail, resistance, prayer, and divine timing? In this exhortational episode, James W. Goll examines the prophetic parallels between the birth of modern Israel and the unfolding destiny of Iran. Drawing from Isaiah 66, Esther, Zechariah, and Daniel, James explains why prophetic words are often invitations into prayer and partnership rather than automatic declarations. James also shares his long-standing prophetic burden for Iran: a move of the Holy Spirit among the Persian people, the growth of house churches, a people's revolution, and a nation that will run with the Gospel. Are we standing at a critical crossroads? Is there spiritual resistance delaying the fulfillment of God's purposes? And is the Lord calling His intercessory bride to ask for heavenly reinforcements?  Join James as he calls believers to discern the times, test prophetic words with humility, and contend in prayer for Israel, Iran, and the nations.

Goll shares two powerful encounters that pointed him directly to Luke 4:18 and Joel 2:28. These experiences carry an invitation to hear God's voice, believe His promises again, and expect a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

How do we grow in supernatural encounters while staying grounded in the Word, rooted in Christ, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit? In this episode of The Praying DISCRNR's Podcast, James W. Goll shares practical prayers that can help cultivate greater hunger for God and an increased awareness of the diverse ways the Holy Spirit moves. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, James explores the diversity of spiritual gifts and how revelation gifts, power gifts, and vocal gifts often work together. He explains why the gifts of the Spirit are not always meant to function in isolation, but can overlap like the colors of a rainbow. James also challenges us to expand our understanding of healing. From laying on of hands to worship, creative arts, listening, and other Spirit-anointed expressions, God can use surrendered vessels in ways we may not expect. 📖 Scriptures referenced include: 1 Corinthians 12:8-11; John 5:19-20; Proverbs 3:5-6; Proverbs 8:34-35; James 4:2; 1 Samuel 16:14-23

Signs will follow those who believe. In this episode of the DISCRNR's Exhoration, I explore the diversity of supernatural encounters and how the Holy Spirit works through different gifts, ministries, and expressions. God has created each of us with a unique calling, and He wants to reveal His love to others through us. I also share a powerful testimony from Albania involving a word of knowledge, supernatural healing, deliverance, and a divine appointment with a Muslim couple who had never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given for the benefit of others. As we keep our eyes on Jesus and faithfully move forward, signs will follow.  1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Mark 16:17 Romans 15:18-19 Hebrews 2:3-4
