1) PRIMARY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES for the Favorable Year

Isaiah 61: 1 – 7

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, to grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, they will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks, and foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers. But you will be called the priests of the LORD; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, everlasting joy will be theirs.


Compare with Luke 4: 16 – 21

And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.” And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

2) WHAT IS FAVOR? What follows Favor?

• Favor is the grace of God being manifested in a specific situation upon a specific person for a specific task.

• Favor is the wagon that carries the cargo of faith.

• Favor releases you into the miraculous.

• Favor is often preceded by acts of consecration and preparation.

• Favor causes one’s voice to be heard above the crowd.

• Favor brings promotion!

• Favor is often followed by an increase of authority and power of God invested in and through an individual or collective group of people.

• Favor comes upon you and displaces shame and humiliation.

• Favor releases a knowing that victory is near.

• Favor results in the manifested presence of Jesus Christ being noticed by others in and through your life.

3. I HEARD HIS VOICE - "The Time for Favor Has Come!"

Some time ago, the voice of the Holy Spirit drew near to me saying, "The time for favor has come!" Faith was ignited in me as His word exploded within my heart. That same word keeps coming to me again in this season. Close your eyes and see this for yourself. Hear the word of the Lord coming to you, "The time of favor has come!"

I have had repeated visions in which the King's scepter is lowered to His chosen ones. Like Esther make your urgent appeal before His throne. Ask! It is a day when the King's scepter is being lowered to His bride. Ask! His scepter is being lowered to you. Therefore make your appeal boldly - He wants you to draw near! Many vessels have passed through His fire. Now ask and believe! It is the time to approach Father God for it is an hour of favor!

I see the scepter of the Lord lowered every time I go before the majesty of the King in this season. Do you see what I see? Do you hear what I hear? “It’s time for favor!”

4. IT All STARTED when a Young Girl found Favor with God!

I encourage you to believe the Lord for supernatural intervention. It is a season where the "light of God will shine on your life" and His favor will be manifested. When the light shines, the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5)!

Luke 1: 28 - 30 recalls to us the words from God the Father through His messenger Gabriel, "And coming in, he said to her, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this might be. And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus."

Expect the manifested presence of God to draw near to you in this holiday season. He is here. He is among us. His favor fell upon a young teenage girl named Mary. Are you one of the Mary’s God is looking for today? Are you ready to carry His presence with you in new ways and give birth to His purposes and destiny for your generation? Will you say, “Be it unto me according to Your Word?”

In this season, both in the natural and in the spiritual expect His favor to shine upon you and conception of fresh purposes to occur.


5. PRAYER PROCLAMATIONS for You to Make!

Make Declarations of Faith as an Act of Preparation for the New Year! Join me in Prayer Proclamations and Watch your Faith level Rise!

• I am anointed by the Holy One of God. I am His chosen vessel. His presence goes before me and dwells within me.

• Jesus Christ dwells in my heart by faith. Greater is He who dwells within me than he who is in the world.

• The favor of the Lord is upon me! He has anointed me to proclaim the Good News and to set captives free. My life is set apart to give God glory!

• The best is yet ahead for me and my family! God is for me - not against me. Together, we make a great team! His plan, purpose and destiny for my life shall be fulfilled.

• The enemies of my soul shall become like grasshoppers in my own sight. I shall enforce the triumph of Christ over the powers of darkness and Jesus shall be magnified through my life!

• The Time of Favor has Come!
  
  
  

6. FROM THE DESK of Dr. James (Jim) W. Goll

Did you notice anything different in the spelling of my name? Around four years ago, Marty Layton, a C.I. prophet, gave me a word that I would be known as Dr. James Goll. It rung true to me at the time when I heard the word as the Holy Spirit had already been speaking to me about such a thing. Three years ago, I started going by my proper name - James. Well, I have also just finished my Doctorate in Practical Ministry! So I am now Dr. James W. Goll. I will receive my diploma in the spring of 2006! Indeed, the Lord is faithful to bring His Word to pass!

The past few weeks have found me ministering at various venues such as San Antonio, Texas with Blood N Fire Ministries, Phoenix, Arizona with Extreme Prophetic, Albany, Oregon with the Elijah List, and other places. The Lord is good and literally thousands have heard a fresh word from the Lord and been exhorted in their faith. Michal Ann has been heading up our Compassion Acts Class and recently ministered in Pennsylvania and New York as well.

Watch for new things on our web site. We are in process of adding several new areas: Israel Alignment section – Fresh Updates on Prayer and the Prophetic - New Product in the Resource Center. We will also soon start a new section called God Moments – Share a Testimony – Read a Testimony. We are excited about bringing you fresh God stories! So we encourage you to visit – www.encountersnetwork.com.

We enjoyed having Justin home for Thanksgiving from California. So our table was full of friends and family! GraceAnn just celebrated her 19 th birthday December 5 th also. I have traveled a good deal the past two months – but thank the Lord – I do not go our on the road again till the 10 th of January!

Thanks to everyone who continues to stand on the wall for Encounters Network and the Goll Family! I have another round of scans done this month and then meet with the Doctors one week later to get the results. I look forward to sending you Good News on our next Health Update!

We hope to see you at our Secret Place Gathering January 6 - 7, 2005. Chris DuPre and Sharon Howarth will lead us in worship joining Michal Ann and I as we share with you. You may register online for this wonderful time of intimacy, worship and heart to heart sharing. May the Favor of the Lord rest on you this Holiday Season! May Jesus draw near to you as we round the corner into another new year. Thanks for partnering with us in 2005! Remember – It’s the Time for Favor!

Blessings to you and your family in this Christmas Season!
