James Goll here to share with you revelations from a recent spiritual encounter and give you some spiritual alerts for this critical hour– ALERT: Time for Shields Up!

We are living in what Scripture calls an evil day (Ephesians 6:13)—a time of heightened spiritual conflict, global unrest, and divine warnings. But God has not left us without weapons. He is calling His people to lift up the shield of faith, stand in intercession, and engage in strategic warfare like never before.

From this prophetic encounter, I want to share five urgent insights:

Spiritual Warfare & Urgent Prophetic Warning
We are in a full-scale spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:13–18 exhorts us to put on the full armor of God—and right now, the “shield of faith” is essential. This is not a season to be passive. It is a time to stand firm, pray fervently, and resist the enemy’s schemes.

What Does “Shields Up” Really Mean?
The Apostle Paul referenced the Roman scutum—a large, door-sized shield designed for both personal and collective defense. In spiritual terms, “Shields Up” means activating our faith and locking arms with others in united intercession. Our strength multiplies when we shield one another.

Prophetic Dreams & Personal Struggles
I’ve recently had intense prophetic dreams—images of bombs, sirens, and conflict. These are not just natural warnings, but spiritual alerts. At the same time, I’ve been walking through personal battles, including physical affliction, but I believe even this is part of the warfare. I’m asking for your prayers as I stand to release this message with boldness and clarity.

National Security Concerns & Strategic Prayer
Prophet Cindy Jacobs recently released a word regarding potential threats from Iran, including sleeper cells in U.S. cities. This is not a time for fear, but for preemptive prayer. Cover your cities, military bases, and key infrastructures. Ask the Lord for divine intel, angelic protection, and the exposure of hidden dangers.

Redemptive Hope Through Intercession
Despite the weight of these warnings, we are not without hope. God always gives warnings so we can respond in prayer and see redemption. Just as Nineveh was spared through repentance, so too can nations be turned if we rise up in intercession. Send Judah first. Worship. War in the Spirit. Believe for God’s purposes to prevail—especially in places like Iran, Jordan, and among the Kurdish people.

There’s a shaking in the nations—but Heaven is not silent.

"How to Wisely Confront Powers of Darkness"
When Men - People - Go to War

Welcome to this month’s Global Prayer Storm Podcast! As we step into spring, a season when men go to war, I want to share with you how to wisely confront the powers of darkness. This message builds on February’s theme of moving beyond renewal into authentic revival breakthrough.

Our foundation today is Revelation 5:6, which reveals the Lamb slain, standing with seven horns (complete power) and seven eyes (complete knowledge), representing the seven Spirits of God sent into all the earth. This passage, tied to Isaiah 11, highlights the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord—all essential in spiritual warfare.

Key Takeaways:
Spiritual Warfare Requires Discernment – We must ask the Lord, Whose battle is this? When and how should it be fought? Some battles are ours, some belong to others, and some are won in intercession rather than direct confrontation.

Worship is Our Warfare – Before engaging the enemy, we must first exalt the Lord, inquire of Him, and receive divine strategy.

Removing the Enemy’s Legal Rights – Many focus only on confessing sins but fail to displace the enemy. True breakthrough comes when we take our position in Christ and rebuke the powers of darkness in His name.

Kingdom Advancement Comes Through Five Keys:
Abiding – Cultivating intimacy with God.
Appropriation – Receiving divine authority.
Action – Stepping out in faith.
Anointing – Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power.
Advancement – Moving forward in victory.

There is no specific spiritual gift called “spiritual warfare” in the Bible because it is the birthright of every believer! You were born for this—to discern, intercede, and advance God’s kingdom on earth.

Let’s rise up, hear the Lord’s voice, and move forward in triumph!

A Visitation & Warning: Speak to the Rock—Don’t Strike, A Prophetic Key to God’s Promise
Season 7 | Episode 12

Have you ever felt frustrated or disappointed when circumstances don’t go as you expect—even when you believe you’ve heard from God? In this prophetic message, James G. shares a powerful encounter highlighting Moses’ mistake of striking the rock instead of speaking to it. As we learn from Moses’ example, anger and disappointment can keep us from fully entering into the promises God has prepared for us.

Join James G. and God Encounters Ministries as we unpack this cautionary word, dive into key Scriptures from the Book of Numbers and Ephesians, and discuss how holding onto anger or resentment can disqualify us from the very breakthroughs we’ve been believing for. Learn how to address hidden heart issues, receive God’s healing from past hurts, and walk in greater fear of the Lord—ultimately leading to deeper intimacy with Him and unlocking the next wave of revival.

Whether you are in leadership, ministry, or just seeking to grow in your relationship with God, this teaching is a timely wake-up call. Stay tuned for heartfelt prayer, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in every season, the posture of our hearts determines whether we merely watch from the sidelines or step into the fullness of God’s promises.

Key Topics: • Lessons from Moses on obedience and anger
• How disappointment and frustration can block your destiny
• Embracing the fear of the Lord for deeper intimacy
• Practical steps for releasing bitterness and offense
