First Nations Outreach
This summer, our GEM Missions mission focus is on our friends Charles and Siouxsan Robinson, founders The Red Road. They have ministered to the First Nations Peoples throughout the U.S. and Canada for many years. This year they are visiting a number of reservations to minister to the poorest of the people. We want to help them bring the hope in Christ by blessing these precious people with the necessities of everyday life. We invite you to join with us in this opturnity to bless the First Nations Peoples. Mark Roye Director of GEM Missions James W. Goll Founder of God Encounters [...]
Removing All Common Ground with the Enemy
As a prayer warrior, would you consider yourself a good “wrestler?” Or do you run at the first sign of contention, having lost battles too often? In order to fight effectively, we must know clearly who our enemy is and what our weapons are, removing all common ground with the enemy. I hope that you, along with all other believers and intercessors, can recognize yourself in these words of Paul: “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” Ephesians 6:12. When Paul [...]
Praying in These 9 Locations Will Change the World
Across the world, the Spirit of God has been stirring intercessors to begin praying like this. Some pray while walking their cities, street by street, following pre-arranged plans. Others prayer walk only occasionally, under a special anointing. They pray everything from general “blessing” prayers to finely tuned, detailed prayers that displace demonic spirits of darkness. They do not all pray expecting necessarily to see immediate, short-term results, because many have faith for the long haul that reaches into the future. Intercessors prayer walk in their own neighborhoods as they walk past each house. They spread out to other neighborhoods and commercial districts, [...]
Exposing Demonic Gateways
Today it appears that the enemy’s fingerprints are on just about everything. We can become so accustomed to them that we allow him to carry on his dirty work unchallenged. Intercession Challenges the Devil’s Work Well, not forever. When intercessors get involved, they challenge the powers of darkness. People who know how to pray effectively also know how to apply the Word of God to figure out what, exactly, they are dealing with. They know that God’s people have an enemy who opposes them at every opportunity. They also know that their prayers put a restraining order on the devil and the work [...]
7 Benefits of the Blood of Jesus
In the Scriptures, we can find at least seven benefits concerning what the blood of Jesus has done for us. We overcome the devil and his works when we testify to what Jesus’s blood has accomplished. We become like those believers who are already in heaven, having followed Him faithfully all the way: “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death” (Revelation 12:11 NIV). Jesus’s triumph over the powers of darkness is reinforced whenever we agree with and declare the [...]
Inviting God’s Glory to Strike the Mark
I awoke suddenly out of a vibrant dream that was filled with lightning. (Although this happened years ago, I remember it as if it were yesterday.) One lightning bolt after another exploded before my eyes—continual, splintering, powerful lightning bolts from heaven to earth. No people. No words. Just incessant light, action, sound. When I woke up from this intense, Holy Spirit-saturated dream, the whole room still crackled with God’s electric presence. I lingered in that presence for twenty minutes or so before it dissipated. Strike the Mark As I lay there musing, What in the world was that about? I saw “Job 36:32” [...]
Releasing the 12 Sounds of Prayer
Each and every one of us has a part to play in God’s orchestra of prayer. What is your special sound? What instrument do you play? The Holy Spirit directs the movements of this divine symphony according to the score of God’s Word. I have identified twelve distinct “sounds” that come forth in the orchestra of prayer. How many of these sounds are part of your prayer arsenal? 1. Thanksgiving Prayers of thanksgiving are like the first movement in a symphony. They open the way to a concert of worship and intercession. The psalmist declares, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving” (Psalm 100:4 NASB), [...]
Warring Over Your Prophetic Promises
“This command I entrust to you, Timothy, [my] son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight.” I Timothy 1:18 Lessons in Victorious Spiritual Warfare In the current Global Prophetic Movement there is an increase of activity like there was 30 years ago. What was offered during that time frame is being offered once again. I call it the Prophetic 2.0—in which we build on what has gone before us. In recent weeks, I have written on “5 Prophetic Words for 2019: Fresh Bread from Heaven” that have fallen into the ground in [...]
