James Goll: It's Time for the "SHOP"!

I don't often post prophetic words by others here but I thought this was quite timely and wanted to share this. It is a powerful word for both those in the prayer movement and for those with a heart for evangelism. God is bringing the power of the two together as prayer will be the fuel for this great harvest that is about to come.

It's Time for the "SHOP"!

A Fresh Revelation for the Global Prayer Movement!

While in Pasadena, California, a few weeks ago ministering at the Voice of the Prophets Conference, I was ministering away on the theme of "Prophecy Life" – then "it" happened! What is the "it"? HA! Hold on – I will get to "it"!

For me, the prophetic seer realm sometimes opens up unexpectedly. I wish it were by will – but for me, it is not. It opens up for me especially while in worship, sometimes while just doing something natural, sometimes while ministering privately, and sometimes while on stage or the platform ministering.

This is how I got the revelation for Prayer Storm: I saw it when I was awakened from a commissioning dream. I remember when I saw the words AMP and MAP written out in front of me in large, glowing amber letters. I said to the Holy Spirit, "What does this mean?" He quickly responded, "When the A (apostolic) is M (made) P (personal), there will be M (mighty) A (authority) in the P (prophetic) in that place. I will AMPlify My voice and I will put those apostolic renewal centers on My MAP." Fascinating encounters indeed...

This is also how I received the word, "The Beginning of the Third Great Awakening," and many other pertinent revelations. For me, when this occurs, it is always something significant.

Well, while on the platform of Ambassador Auditorium two weeks ago, my spiritual eyes were opened and I saw the word SHOP written out in front of me hanging in mid-air. Those who know me know I do like to shop! But of course, this was not a word from the Lord telling me to go shopping! I was caught by this experience right in front of everyone – with hundreds present. Then as fast as I saw it, a download went right into me. Wanna know what I heard?

It's time for SHOP! It's time for the Salvation House of Prayer! Wow! That was amazing! I saw that there was grace in the room for at least 25 HOUSES of PRAYER that would carry this anointing for Prayer Evangelism... Later, in more of the inspirational gift of prophecy, the Holy Spirit said, "It is time for the WAR HOP to be released: Houses of Prayer contending against the powers of darkness. These Houses of Warship will send the enemy to flight!"

Do you realize that many of our amazing local churches and "Houses of Prayer" expressions rarely actually pray for souls? Well, it's time! It's time for the Salvation House of Prayer – so, let's SHOP TILL THEY DROP! Just incredible! I am still buzzing with that revelation ringing within me.

I love what exists today – but this is a call to add God's heart for the lost in our many different "Houses of Prayer" expressions. It's time for the Harvest! So, let's release the SHOP!

Salvation Intercession – Practical Ways of Praying for Your Loved Ones into God's Family

1. Ask God to soften their hearts. Pray for the condition of their hearts to change.

Ezekiel 11:19 (AMP) And I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God].

2. Ask God to send a spirit of conviction. Ask for the release of the spirit of conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment to come.

John 16:8 (NASB) And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.

3. Ask God to send a spirit of revelation. Ask for the spirit of wisdom and revelation (dreams, visions, angelic visitations).

Ephesians 1:17-19 (NASB) [I pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe...

4. Ask God to bring His Word to remembrance. Ask the Lord to bring to their remembrance any of the good words of God that they were taught from their childhood to this day.

John 14:26 (NASB) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

Isaiah 55:11 (NASB) So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

5. Pray prayers of forgiveness. Forgive your mother, father, son, daughter, your friends and other loved ones. Forgiveness is the master key that unlocks the prison door to a heart of stone. Through forgiveness comes a place of identification. The model prayer of Jesus is not an individual prayer. It is a corporate prayer: "Our Father which art in Heaven...Give us this day our daily bread...forgive us our debts [sins]..." (see Matthew 6:9-15).

6. Pray for laborers for the harvest. This is a prayer that the Lord Jesus Himself recommended.

Matthew 9:38 (NIV) Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

7. Pray for a revelation of eternity. In some ways, praying for a revelation of eternity is like praying for the release of a spirit of conviction. Here, however, you're asking the Lord to give a person an awareness of the realities of both Heaven and Hell. Many people live their whole lives as if this world is all there is. They need to have their eyes opened to the startling reality of an eternal Heaven and Hell. They also need to recognize that no one is righteous enough to make it to Heaven without Jesus. You can combine this prayer with a prayer for revelation, asking even for dreams of Heaven and Hell. You can also combine it with a prayer for remembrance of something they once heard about Heaven or Hell. People need a revelation of eternity before they will consider Jesus' invitation to join Him in Heaven.

8. Resist the enemy in Jesus' name. Pray to break the powers of darkness that are generational and hindering your loved ones from the saving power of Jesus' Blood. (See my study guide, Deliverance from Darkness, for more on this subject.)

9. Solicit other people's prayers. Enroll other intercessors to pray for your loved ones.

Ephesians 6:19-20 (NASB) ...pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

2 Corinthians 1:10-11 (NASB) ...And He will yet deliver us, you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.

10. Pray for a revelation of God's love. This may be the most important point. Ask God to overwhelm your loved one(s) with His love. It's the kindness of God that draws us to repentance (see Romans 2:4 and Romans 12:14, 19). Of course, He will use difficult circumstances to make someone desperate, but don't pray for Him to send difficulties. Don't partner with the devil's work. Partner with God, who is good all the time, and pray for a revelation of God's love in the midst of whatever happens. Otherwise, times of crisis will be wasted. If the person doesn't grasp the fact that God loves him or her right in the middle of a grave situation, the person may simply walk away, adjust to it, or otherwise not gain any eternal benefit from it.

We can release our faith and believe the Lord for more of His presence to come to our family, friends and co-workers. We stand as prophets, priests, and kings of our own families and spheres of authority before the Lord. We can let revival begin in our own homes, and families, and friends for the glory of God's great name.

Let's be a Salvation House of Prayer! Let's lift names before the throne of the Almighty of family, friends, and co-workers and ask the Lord of the Harvest to save them through the power of His divine love!

Praying to the Lord of the Harvest!
