God Encounters Today Podcast

In this episode of the DISCRNR's Podcast, James W. Goll explores the biblical principle of Selah—the sacred pause found throughout the Psalms. Through Scripture, personal insight, and the example of Joshua, James reveals how listening, waiting, and watching before the Lord become pathways to revelation, favor, and spiritual renewal. This message is a timely invitation to embrace the rhythms of rest, cultivate a quiet heart, and discover God's presence in the stillness. You'll learn why quietness and expectation are the incubation bed of revelation, how to operate from a place of spiritual rest rather than striving, and why the less-traveled path of contemplative Christianity remains one of the greatest keys to hearing God's voice today.

What does it mean to carry the heart of God in prayer? In this powerful episode of The Praying Discerners, James W. Goll explores the biblical and prophetic calling of becoming a burdenbearer — someone who partners with the Holy Spirit to carry God's heart, purposes, and intercession on the earth. Through Scripture, personal stories, church history, and prophetic insight, James unpacks the meaning of travailing prayer, prophetic intercession, and the "burden of the Lord." Discover how the Holy Spirit imparts divine burdens, how believers can steward them properly, and why this form of prayer is essential for revival, awakening, and the consecration of nations. James also addresses the tension between order and freedom in modern church culture, making room for the conviction and power of the Holy Spirit while maintaining biblical wisdom and pastoral care. If you desire to grow deeper in discerning prayer, prophetic intercession, and carrying God's heart for people, cities, and nations, this episode will encourage and challenge you.

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.

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.

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. He speaks candidly about prophetic insight, prayerful responsibility, and the role of intercessors during seasons of rapid change. This is not a call to gloat, but a call to stand, pray, and labor for the harvest, recognizing that we are living in a critical juncture of history.

In this episode of The Discerners Prophetic Podcast, James W. Goll releases a weighty and timeless prophetic message titled "The House That Is Built to Last." In an era marked by shaking, testing, and realignment, this teaching calls believers to examine the foundation upon which their lives, families, churches, and even nations are being built. Drawing from the words of Jesus and the apostle Paul, James reminds us that winds, rains, and storms will come against every house—not just some. The only question is whether what we are building will endure. At the heart of this message is a vivid, revelatory dream saturated with what James describes as the jealousy of God—a holy zeal for the undivided devotion of His people.

Psalm 100:4
