Four Major Strategic Turning Points

James W. Goll

These are the Beginning of Those Days!

Acts 4:29-31, And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

We have stepped into the days that the Holy Spirit and His angels spoke to me about 27 years ago when I still lived in Kansas City and was a part of the birthing of the modern day global prophetic movement. This is indeed a critical hour in this nation and the nations of the earth. We must discern the signs of the times properly.

• Days when the Middle East would be a boiling caldron and watchmen would be needed to pray a hedge of protection around the nation of Israel.

• Days when signs and wonders would break out across the Body of Christ.

• Days when the Lord would say, "Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe!"

• Days when a new Jesus People movement would begin to flourish.

• Days when the Church would globally gather to be the House of Prayer for all Nations in authentic 24/7 expressions.

I am so grateful to be alive for such a time as this. I have survived to be a father, a leader, a voice crying in the wilderness, and one of the veterans to help prepare the way in these Days of Harvest.

The following are Four Strategic Turning Points I am observing that are both promises as well as warnings:

1. The Middle East – A Boiling Cauldron

Recently I was given a "warning dream" stating that we were entering into the time of the "division of the nations". Nation after nation will take a stand against Israel and her land covenant with God and abandon her. (I do not like making this statement!) Many nations will take a dangerous position at this time concerning their posture towards Israel and the Land. I have been declaring for over a decade that in 2013 a war would break out in Syria and the Gaza Strip and would spill over into Fall 2014.

Tensions would then escalate and the Middle East would be a "boiling cauldron" where it seemed as though things were totally out of control. But I continued to look as darkness began to make advantages. I was looking for the promise in the midst of "time of trouble". Then understanding came to me, "There will be one nation that will arise in that dark hour – the nation called the 'Body of Christ' who will be Israel's best friend." 

2. The Sounds of Heavenly Hope 

Recently on one of my very dark days of recovery from disc surgery, while recovering in my bedroom, I had an amazing audible encounter. I heard music I have never heard before. It was brilliant, clear sounds of orchestrated chimes and bell choirs ringing in my room. I thought I was hearing the amazing sounds of Heaven in a dream. But I realized I was awake and the sounds were echoing in my room.

I wondered what in the world is this? Never heard anything like this before! I searched my room to check the source: the alarm clock and my iPhone. But the sound of the bells and chimes continued to ring forth.

Then I realized, "Oh my gosh, this is not natural. This is the sounds of Heavenly Hope ringing audibly in my room."

Then all of a sudden, after about 5 minutes as the music began to fade away, I knew I had just received a message on my iPhone that I needed to check. Sure enough, right at that moment I received a notification from a friend of unusual encouragement assuring me that God had everything under control and that provision would be on the way.

Yes, the bells of Heavenly Hope are ringing in the earth realm. Tune your ear to hear the sounds of Heaven in the earth realm! Hope is on the way! 

3. The West Coast Rumble 

The word of the Lord has come to me twice in the month of August speaking to me about the West Coast Rumble: a spiritual shaking coming to California and the entire west coast.

HE calls it The Rumble. He is going to RUMBLE along Highway 101 and Highway 110, up and down the coast, all the way from San Diego to Vancouver, British Columbia and seaports all along the way. He will do a new dance step called the RUMBA – and the West coast will no longer be called the "Left" coast as He will RUMBLE with presence-saturated miracles performed with great ease. Get ready! The RUMBLE is coming!

I saw Mott Auditorium in Pasadena, CA again in a dream on a recent morning. He said to me, "The birthing room is now in place – to watch over the movement as it begins. Travail will fall on Mott and many assemblies where they turn to seek My face. If they seek My face and not My hand they will get both this time around." For more on this subject, read a previous posting in which I heard John Wimber declare, "Come Again Holy Spirit!"

4. The Door of the Harvest is Open

I have been given the opportunity to see a different realm of angels than I have ever seen. In the seer realm I began to see Angels with sickles in their hand coming down the ladder of Heaven into the earth realm. I inquired of the Holy Spirit and He instructed me that Angels of the Harvest have been released. The Scripture was illuminated to me from Joel 3:13, "Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe!"

I was given an encounter where a door was opened and a wind blew through. It startled me. I turned towards the door and I asked, "What is this?" The Holy Spirit replied, "The door of the Harvest is now open." (I am not declaring this is the door to the Great Harvest, but rather another time or season in the Lord of the Harvest of souls coming in.)

Believe the Lord for divine appointments and pray to the Lord of the Harvest to thrust forth laborers into the field of Harvest. It is harvest time!

Therefore let us continue to pray from Matthew 9:38, "Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

We see in part and know in part... In this strategic season this is just a little bit of what the Father has been showing me as I have had over 100 days of being in my room alone in my home in Franklin, Tennessee recovering. But always remember, we who know Christ, "We are never alone! He will never leave us or forsake us!"

God bless each one of you!

Springing Ahead: I've Already Started.

I fell asleep almost immediately, and had this dream:

I was in a church, attending a service.

The church was very strange, though. It was a composite of many different ones that I’ve been to.

The sanctuary looked like the one in Philadelphia Church just up the street from Loyal Heights Playground in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, but in the dream I had the impression that it was the sanctuary of a particular church just south of SeaTac airport.

The sanctuary furniture was a mix of things from many churches I’ve attended over the course of several decades. The pews were from another church a mainline denomination one, where SeaTac Worship Center had rented space in the evenings.

There were people in every pew. The church was filled, but not full. In almost every pew, there were empty spaces big enough to seat 2-4 people together.

Every one was seated, the service was just ending, and the Minister had just finished...

As people began to stand and look around, I had an awkward feeling much like you get when you’re in a room full of people whose faces are familiar, but whom you don’t really know…a feeling of having to interact with people but not really knowing what to say.

Then things changed very quickly, as if I had blinked, or turned my head away for a moment and things were different when I looked back again. I was still in the same room, but now it was filled – crowded, in fact. The aisle was filled with people, some standing, some sitting.

Instead of being socially distant, everyone was interacting. Some were conversing with others, some teaching or explaining something to another, some praying with another, some laying hands on another.

The aisle, empty before was now crowded folks standing in it. There were many sitting or lying on the floor as well, overwhelmed by Holy Spirit.

AS I looked around the room, a saw a number of dead apostles I was familiar with – James Berkley whose ministry had largely emphasized God turning the hearts of the fathers to their children and children to their fathers, Elvin Gadney, and Harlan and Granville Graham. As I looked at each of these people, I thought, “There So and So. Look, there’s Such and Such,” recognizing each man by name.

But the faces didn’t match the names. In every case, it was a different person identified by the apostle’s name and familiarity, even though every one of them was a least a generation younger, and some two generations younger. These were the men and women who had been impacted or equipped by those apostles.

Someone began to sing, and without any worship team, the room filled with adoration to the King. Those ministering to others didn’t stop when the worship started, but continued what they were doing. Everyone in room was made (or was being made) whole.

As soon as I woke up, I wrote down the dream, and asked what it meant. Some of what it means we’ve heard before, a lot. So much so that at first I questioned whether I was really hearing God or the trite echo of “the day of the one man ministry is over and I’m about to do a new thing” that we’ve heard so often (both from true prophets and form some who are fairly convincing copies).

Having made certain I’m hearing what I was, her it is.

It’s not at all about what God’s about to do. It’s about what he’s already doing.

The time for the man up front to be the primary minister is finished. The Lords says, “What I’m doing isn’t in the church walls, the time for one man to be recognized as the primary minister is finished, and I am giving visions to the ones who have been overlooked, and strategies to the discounted ones.”

I will build strong relationships and lifelong friendships between members of my Body who have been strangers. I will give visions to the ones who were called blind and strategies to the ones called foolish. I will release inside of you my heart for people so broadly and so deeply that you will be called Those Who Love Their Brothers by those who don’t know me.

You are called the Ones Who Love by those who haven’t met me yet, because you are loving them even when it is costly to you. You are growing more and more day by day and week by week in love, wisdom, and power to make the broken whole.

Already when you are walking in the way, you stop to heal, to liberate to bind up and to loose.

the day will come suddenly when those going from one place to another will have to be careful where they step, because the way if filled people standing in me, sitting with me, and resting in me.

Multitudes of bound ones have been set free and a vast people who will know their Father continue be liberated and will bring wholeness and peace form the Sunshine Coast to the Siskyou and from the Olympic Coast to the Rockies.

Don’t weep for the ones I sent out who have died where you are and live where I am. Look, and see them in those they’ve birthed, those they’ve equipped, and those they’ve trained. You’ll see their hands multiplied in the children of their love for my Bride and I, and those sons and daughters will do more, and more freely than the fathers ever dreamed of doing.

Spontaneous worship in streets and squares.

Sudden invasions of freedom in stores and parks.

Floods of healing on every corner and under every tree.

A plain illustration of the love of the Father spread abroad in the hearts of men, bringing peace and wholeness.

Many will be confused and don’t recognize what I’m doing and some of them will seem intimidating to you. But don’t be afraid to demonstrate my love. It is more extravagant and reaches much farther than many know.

Didn’t I tell you it would be something you haven’t seen before? Don’t be surprised if it is seems strange! Why are you amazed when I told you it was new, and not like what you have seen before?

But you will see me do more than you could ever ask, think, or imagine. I’ve already started!

Don’t hesitate.

Don’t hold back.

Don’t wait.

Run to the lonely.

Bind the broken.

Love the ugly.

The false little wind is stopping.

A great Wind has begun to blow,

pushing the sea before it!
