From the Desk of James W. Goll

In the New Year of January 2010, we have brought you a variety of coverage from many great sources. We took a transparent look at an urgent appeal in behalf of this ministry on Rebuilding the Walls – EN’s Nehemiah Project. We brought the annual prophetic word from seasoned prophets that are a part APCE. Our Compassion Acts Haiti Emergency Relief Fund followed that. Your support is enormously appreciated as an ongoing partner with EN or through our outreach to the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Remember, for every $2,000 we raise through Compassion Acts, we can ship a 40 ft container full or food or supplies right into trusted hands for proper distribution. Already, we three full containers are on their way; you can be a part of helping the next one get there!

This week I am ministering at The Seer Prophetic Conference at Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, CA with apostolic host, Che Ahn and prophets Graham Cooke and Chuck Pierce. I am excited about what the Lord is going to do there. I also hope to see some of you February 25-27 at the annual Fire Storm Conference at Life Center in Harrisburg, PA with the theme I MUST BURN! I will join Charles and Anne Stock, Mahesh Chavda, Sean Feucht, Dave Hess and many others at this year’s unusual annual event. Come join us as we abandon ourselves in 72 hours of worship and prayer unto the Lord. I will share personally on Saturday at noontime during a special lunch meeting.

Remember our featured FREE BOOK for the month of January at our online resource center with any purchase – God Encounters. What an amazing deal! If you already have a copy – then get one anyway as they make great gifts! You can also place orders by calling 1-877-200-1604.

To correlate this week’s Global Prayer Storm thrust on Releasing the Seer Anointing, I wanted to bring you some of my prophetic teaching on the subject. I trust you will benefit from this teaching on The Seer Realm. This is an excerpt from The Seer 40 Day Devotional Journal and Discovering the Seer in You study manual. If interested in learning more then consider getting these resources at our online resource center.

Blessing to each of you as you seek to hear and obey the voice of the Lord. Know that the Lord has great plans for your 2010! Thanks for your support!

With Expectancy!

The Seer Realm

My personal journey into the Seer Realm has been progressive. Some seem to be “born with a full blown gift” – like Bob Jones, John Paul Jackson and a few others in our day and time. Others come forth step-by-step as I did over a period of months and years.

In the prophetic I heard first in the Spirit before I ever saw. I was comfortable in this realm and the voice of the Lord spilled over into the gift of prophecy. Later on, I recognized that the feeling dimension had been active in my life all the time – I just seemed extra sensitive and emoted more than others – especially men. But there was no teaching on that realm so the “feeler” stayed at a certain level and found it’s primary expression as burdens from the Lord in the place of prayer.

For me, the Seer Realm unfolded over time like a flower blossom – opening in the sunlight ever so slowly. Eventually, especially in the atmosphere of worship, I found the Lord giving me both internal and external visions. Dreams were multiplied and became a regular tool in which the Lord would speak to me. Being around the culture of the seer, hanging out with gifted people enhanced my own hunger, gift and calling. Visitations were never daily with me, but I would come into seasons where encounters with a supernatural God were profuse and not rare at all.

For years I taught the ways of the Spirit as those who walk the stairs and those who get to go on exhilarating rides up high on fast moving elevators. For me – I walked the staircase one step at a time most of my life. But for others – like my dear late wife Michal Ann, she got in a wild elevator ride for 9 straight weeks when heaven came down to earth and things never returned to normal! Ha! Those were the days for sure! But know this, it all matters, whether walk up a stair step, or get in an express elevator. Just walk in the Spirit. Watch Him unfold His ways – even The Seer Realm, for you.

The following is an excerpt from Days 10 – 12 from The Seer 40 Day Devotional Journal. I trust this teaching of the New Testament Greek words concerning visionary states will be helpful. Pass this teaching along to others. Remember, you too can move in visions and dreams – it is your rightful inheritance as a believer in Christ Jesus.

The Diversity of Visionary States

1 Corinthians 12:11---But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

2 Corinthians 12:1----Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

1 Peter 1:13---Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

There is only one Holy Spirit, but He works in a multiplicity of ways. There are many spiritual gifts, but only one gift-giver: the Holy Spirit of God. The prophetic anointing manifests itself in many diverse ways, but they all derive from the same Spirit.

This same diversity by the one Spirit applies also to visionary states and experiences. In fact, the New Testament uses a variety of Greek words to express different visionary states. None of these states are “higher” or “better” than any of the others. They are simply different, and the Holy Spirit uses them with different people for different purposes. Let’s take a closer look at some of these visionary states.

Onar

In Greek, onar is the common word for “dream.” It refers simply to the kind of dreaming we all do when we sleep. Everyday dreams are themselves visionary in nature because our minds generate images that we “see” while we are asleep. As the Bible makes clear, God can and does use these common dreams to communicate with ordinary people.

Enupnion

Like onar, the word enupnion refers to a vision or dream received while asleep. The difference with enupnion is that it stresses a surprise quality that is contained in that dream.

Horama

Horama is another general term for vision, meaning “that which is seen.” It carries the particular sense of a “spectacle, sight, or appearance.” New Testament examples commonly associate this word with waking visions. You can be a candidate for horama visions. Just tell the Lord of your desire to be a person who receives the spirit of revelation and sees visions. It is for today. It is there for the asking!

Horasis

An horasis occurs when the Spirit who lives within us looks out through the “windows” of our eyes and allows us to see what He sees. Sometimes we are seeing in the natural or in the spiritual and sometimes it is both. When our spiritual eyes are open, sometimes our natural eyes can see into the spiritual realm. We may see dual images as visionary spiritual pictures are superimposed over the images we are seeing with our physical eyes.

Optasia

Another visionary state found in the New Testament is denoted by the word optasia—literally meaning “visuality,” or in concrete form, “apparition.” Optasia has the very specific connotation of self-disclosure or of letting oneself be seen. The word always occurs in the context of someone seeing a divine or spiritual personage.

Ekstasis

Ekstasis, from which our English word “ecstasy” is derived, means amazement, astonishment, or a trance. Literally, ekstasis means “a displacement of the mind,” or “bewilderment.” When translated as “trance,” ekstasis refers to one being caught up in the Spirit so as to receive those revelations that God intends.

Apokalupsis

With apokalupsis, we come to the most frequently used word in the New Testament to describe a visionary state. Apokalupsis literally means “disclosure,” an “appearing” or “coming,” a “manifestation.” It carries specifically the sense of something hidden that has now been uncovered or revealed.

Egenomehn ehn pneumati

The phrase egenomehn ehn pneumati literally means “to become in the Spirit,” a state in which one could see visions and be informed or spoken directly to by the Spirit of God. Therein lies the secret to how we get revelation. We do it by first getting in the Spirit. The more we are filled with the Spirit and walk in the Spirit, the more we become one with the Spirit, and the more our eyes will be opened to see in the Spirit. He will give us the perception to look into the spiritual realm.

QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION

1. Do you have the ability to “sense” or know when the prophetic anointing is ready to manifest itself in you or others? In your experience, what takes place before prophecy is given in a corporate setting?

2. Have you had an “onar” or has someone you know? What makes this visionary state different from “ordinary” dreams?

3. Have you experienced an “enupnion”? Do you know of another who has? Why would God want to give a surprise in a dream?

4. Have you ever had a horama vision or do you personally know someone who has? What did the vision entail? Why do you think God revealed it? Were there results from its revelation?

5. The author encourages us to ask to receive the spirit of revelation and see visions. Have you done this? Why does this type of revelation “scare” some people? Why should we seek horama visions?

6. Have you experienced a horasis or do you know of someone who has? How do both the natural and spiritual work in this visionary state?

7. What is your understanding of the optasia visionary state? Have you or someone you know experienced this? What impact can this visionary state have on one’s life?

8. Have you ever had an ekstasis vision or do you personally know someone who has? What did the vision entail? Why do you think God revealed it? Were there results from its revelation?

9. Have you experienced a apokalupsis or do you know of someone who has? How do hidden things become revealed in this vision?

10. What is your understanding of the egenomehn ehn pneumatic a visionary state? Have you or someone you know experienced this? What impact can this visionary state have on one’s life?

PONDERINGS, MEDITATIONS AND PRAYERS

Sometimes a ‘surprise element’ is released through seer encounters. Watch out: ready or not, here He comes!” How regular are seer encounters in your life? Do you take the time to wait and pray to receive visions and revelation from the Lord? Do you prepare for sleep by asking the Lord to speak to you while you sleep? Begin a regimen of preparation for bed that includes inviting God to bring revelation in the night hours.

We all have two sets of eyes: our physical or natural eyes, and the ‘eyes’ of our heart with which we ‘see’ into the spiritual realm. Those are the ‘eyes’ through which we see and understand spiritual truth. The Bible says that our body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. Every temple has windows and doors. When the Lord comes to dwell in our ‘temple,’ He likes to be able to look out His ‘windows.’ Our eyes—physical and spiritual—are the windows to our soul.” How well do your eyes work in seeing what the Lord wants you to see?

Have you ever had an experience where you suddenly felt like a little light went on inside? You may not necessarily have had an actual vision, but just a sense that something that you did not understand, something that was hidden from you, was now revealed. That is an apokalupsis type experience.” If you have experienced this type of vision, how did God use it? If you have not experienced this, how can you prepare yourself to be open to such revelation?

LORD, OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART SO I CAN SEE IN THE SEER REALM IN JESUS GREAT NAME. LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF MY SOUL AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU ARE SEEING. I DECLARE THAT DREAMS, VISIONS, REVELATIONS AND VISITATIONS ARE MY INHERTIANCE AS A BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS. GIVE ME MORE OF THE SEER REALM WITH ALL IT’S VARIOUS DIMENSIONS AND EXPRESSIONS. I AM READY TO RECEIVE MORE LORD! AMEN AND AMEN!
