What happens when the Holy Spirit comes with conviction? In this episode of the Prophetic Discerners podcast, James W. Goll explores a dimension of the Holy Spirit that is often overlooked in today's church: experiential conviction. While many pursue the gifts and power of the Spirit, few understand that conviction is a core mark of true revival. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and personal encounters, James unpacks how the Holy Spirit convicts the world and the Church of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He also addresses the critical difference between conviction and condemnation, revealing how one leads to life and the other to despair. Through biblical teaching, revival insights, and a memorable personal story, this message calls believers to welcome the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in every area of life.  If you're hungry for authentic revival, deeper holiness, and a renewed sensitivity to God's voice, then this message is for you.

Goll invites you into a deeper understanding of Jesus' heart, one that is not distant or analytical, but deeply moved with compassion. Through Scripture, personal encounters, and prophetic insight, you'll discover how compassion is not just a feeling—it's a force that moves us into action. This message will challenge you to move beyond passive faith and step into a lifestyle where the love of God flows through you, impacting others. From Mark 1:41 to Jude 1:22, James unpacks what it truly means to "have compassion and make a difference."

Is there still fire burning on the altar of your heart? In this heartfelt episode of the Praying Discerners Podcast, James W. Goll shares two powerful dreams about "fire on the altar" and takes us back to the heart of his very first book, The Lost Art of Intercession. Drawing from Leviticus 6, James challenges every believer with a piercing question: After all the movements, the excitement, the battles, and the weariness of life — is there STILL any fire burning on the altar of your heart? 

How does God reveal His secrets? In this powerful teaching, James W. Goll dives deep into the mystery of Amos 3:7, which reveals how God speaks, who He speaks to, and how His secrets are released in the earth. This message will challenge your theology, stir your hunger for intimacy with God, and invite you into a deeper friendship with Him. God is not silent! He is speaking. The question is, are we listening? Discover how God shares His heart with His friends, how prophetic revelation works, and why prayer and intercession are essential in seeing His word fulfilled. This teaching will equip you not only to receive revelation but also to steward it with wisdom, maturity, and intimacy. "Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secrets to His servants, the prophets." – Amos 3:7 

In this exhortation, James W. Goll shares a timely prophetic word: You can be a deliverer. Drawing from Psalm 84:10, the life of Esther, and themes from The Lifestyle of a Watchman, James reminds us that deliverers are not always platform personalities; they are faithful, persevering believers who do what matters. Whether you feel ordinary, hidden, or overlooked, this message will stir your heart to embrace your calling in Christ. Through prayer, perseverance, and daily faithfulness, you can become a modern-day deliverer for such a time as this.

n this follow-up episode of the Praying DISRNR's Podcast, James W. Goll delivers a message titled "A Cry for Transparency and Honesty."

In this heartfelt and candid Prophetic Discerners podcast episode, James W. Goll of God Encounters Ministries addresses the stirring controversies rocking the prophetic and charismatic communities. Amid recent exposures of sin, deception, and leadership failures (including cases involving Shawn Bolz, Mike Bickle, and others), James calls for needed integrity in leadership. He shares personal reflections, biblical wisdom, apologies where needed, commitments to change, and a plea for the Body of Christ to restore the "lost jewel" of integrity. Drawing from Scripture (Psalm 11:3, Proverbs, Philippians 4:8), James emphasizes building on firm foundations, boundaries, repentance, and Kingdom solutions while warning against distraction, drama, and weariness. This is a timely message of clarity, humility, and hope for renewal in the Church.  If you're navigating confusion in the prophetic movement or seeking God's heart on leadership accountability, this episode is for you.

Join James W Goll in this episode of "The Discrnr's Exhortation" for February 2026, where he delivers a timely message: "Don't Give Up." Drawing from key scriptures like Galatians 6:9 and 2 Corinthians 4:16, James encourages believers not to grow weary in doing good, promising that in due season, we will reap if we do not lose heart. Amidst today's chaos, distractions, and controversies in the Body of Christ, he warns against getting sidelined by drama, social media vortexes, and unsanctified emotions that whisper "quit" or "it doesn't matter."

In this Praying Discerners Podcast episode, James W. Goll builds on recent teachings about discerning the times with the Issachar anointing (1 Chronicles 12:32). He revisits his January 1st vision of falling dominoes among nations—highlighted by shifts in Venezuela—and points to overlooked strategic places like Georgetown, Guyana, as a future port city for a major Holy Spirit outpouring. The central message draws from Psalm 2: "Why do the nations rage?" James unpacks the psalm's layers—historical opposition to King David, prophetic resistance to Israel, and ultimate rebellion against God's Anointed, Jesus Christ. He connects it to today's global unrest in Iran (people's revolution and fastest church growth), Ukraine, Sudan, Venezuela, and beyond, where nations and rulers conspire against God's order—yet Heaven laughs, and Christ receives the nations as His inheritance. James urges believers to reject critical spirits and word curses, instead living as active participants: walking humbly (Micah 6:8), acting in the opposite spirit, seeking divine intelligence, and becoming hope-bringers who see God's redemptive purpose beyond every chaos. He reads from The Lifestyle of a Watchman on desperate prayer in crisis and prophesies a massive end-time harvest, revival in Iran, reformation among the Kurds, a Middle East renaissance, and shining "cities on a hill" as the unshakable Kingdom emerges. The episode closes with prayer for hope, rebuke of heaviness, redemptive interpretation of shaking times, recruits into the Global Prayer Storm, and an invitation to join the prayer movement.  Goto www.godencounters.com

In this prophetic message, James unpacks a vision received on New Year's Day—a striking image of dominoes carefully aligned, then set into motion by the finger of God. What unfolds is a sober yet hope-filled perspective on nations shifting, walls coming down, and a season of global volatility giving way to unprecedented harvest and freedom. Anchored in Isaiah 21:5–8 and Ephesians 6, this message calls believers to:  - Take their place as watchmen - Put on the full armor of God  - Stand aligned in humility, unity, and readiness - Avoid the stumbling blocks of greed and offense - Discern the times without fear or triumphalism James reflects on historic moments such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, drawing parallels to present-day global shaking and the realignment of nations.
