From the Desk of James W. Goll
It is time to position ourselves under an open heaven! I pray the word that I release below will bless you as you head into this holiday season. Recently, I have released a new book, co-authored with a great journalist named Julian Loren! Shifting Shadows of Supernatural Experiences is edgy and yet grounded in the word of God; it will leave you with discernment and hunger at the same time. This useful resource would make a Holiday present for yourself or someone you love. See the write up following the word below for more information.
On the health front, Michal Ann suffered from double vision two weekends ago and I had to take her into the ER. After every test imaginable, nothing was conclusive. But by the following Monday her eyesight was fine. The doctor feels that she probably passed a small blood clot. It was a very difficult ordeal, but crisis prayer arose and she seems fine now.
I finally had a CT scan done this week – and I have Good News! There is no activity any more at the collarbone – no growth at all. The three inch growth that has been behind my stomach for months is now half the size it used to be! It is now only 1½ inches along with another small growth besides it measuring 1 inch long. We will not stop praying until these growths have completely disappeared. If you wish to be a prayer warrior in our new Goll Health Task Force – then visit www.gollhealthtaskforce.com for more information.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support that enables Michal Ann and I and our EN team to do the work of the Lord. Remember, together we make a great team!
Blessings to Each of You!

Positioned for an Open Heaven!
by James W. Goll
One of the most consistent ways that the Lord speaks to me is through “dreams”. Once again, by the grace and faithfulness of God, the Holy Spirit gave me a very vivid instructional dream. The dream was filled with color and emotions but no words. I do feel that this dream has meaning for me in a personal manner and yet contains truths that are for the body of Christ. So let me unfold it.
I was attempting to stand in a room where there was a low ceiling. It was an old room filled with religious senses all around it. It was a room representing the church in its present condition and, in particular, the over all condition of the church where I live in Greater Nashville, TN.
I was standing on the outer edge of the room and I kept trying to stand up. As I would do this – my head would butt the ceiling – I could actually feel the weight of the stone ceiling on my head in the dream. I kept trying to raise the roof off by standing up but it was not working. Then something like a giant heavenly can opener came down from above and cut a huge hole in the stone roof. The hole appeared in the center of the room. I then moved from the outer edge to the center of the room and as I did – I looked up.
The Sky Was Filled with the Promises of God!
There was now a brilliant “open heaven” stationed right over my head. The sky was blue and there were beautiful clouds hovering. I could feel the warmth of the sun upon my body. The atmosphere was filled with faith, hope, love and life.
I then proceeded in the dream back to the edge of the room where the ceiling was still intact, and yes, still quite low. Again, I had to crouch down to get under the low ceiling. I attempted to “stand up right” only to feel the weight of the ceiling suppressing me once again. So I stepped back into the center of the room. What a contrast!
Oh, there was clean air to breathe. There was light and no darkness. There was a sense of purpose and destiny fulfilled. I was now positioned correctly under an open heaven enabling me to achieve the purposes of God. I was centered and walking in the light.
Interpreting the Experience
As I woke up, I had several “knowings” as a result of this dream experience. Again, there were no audible words in this dream. But the feeling dimension was very alive! I did feel a word dropped inside of me though as I woke up – “Get Positioned for an Open Heaven”.
God wants us each to be properly aligned in this hour with Him and His purposes. He wants to lift the lid off the can but we must position ourselves properly as this occurs. We must move from the side issues to the central ones. We must be centered on Him.
Walking in open heavens deals more with His work versus ours. Our efforts to push through and even “stand uprightly” are acknowledged, but it is truly His work from above that creates a sustained place or open heavens for His presence. He has the ability to break through even the hardest of places, circumstances and low ceilings. Again, in the dream, the Lord saw my efforts and acknowledged them, but then He did the work that I could not.
God’s Divine Commentary
I found it quite interesting that the last word I released was on Creating an Open Heaven. I think the Lord had some divine commentary to add to my word. It is more about His work from above than our work from beneath. He does respond, however, to our efforts. But we do not create an open heaven – He does. He is the creator – I am not. I am a responder to His great love and initiative. Yet, what goes up must come down!
So – “Get Positioned for an Open Heaven!” Get into Kingdom Alignment for such a time as this. Step out of the shadows of the side edges and move into the center of His word, will and ways. Be centered in Him – after all being “centered in Christ” is the best place to be!
(To learn about the ways of God with dreams, consider purchasing my book Dream Language, the corresponding Study Guide, and or even the CD’s and DVD’s of Michal Ann and I teaching this material. These resources will truly aid you in your understanding and interpreting of dreams.)
BLESSINGS TO YOU!

 Shifting Shadows of
Supernatural Experiences:
A Manual for Experiencing God
by James W. Goll & Julia Loren
Book - $16.00
Click here to order
GO BEYOND… Go beyond the realm of your natural senses to the Shifting Shadows of Supernatural Experiences. Jesus is bigger than all of us. His power and ways transcend our understanding. But if we are to grow in all He has for us, we need to tap into what the Holy Spirit has for us today. This book is filled with actual experiences from church history, and modern-day testimonies that are all grounded in the Word of God. Open your heart to God as He delights in revealing Himself to you through spiritual experiences such as: Encountering Angels. Dreams, Visions & Miracles. Near-death Experiences. Testing the Spirits. Insights into Things to Come. How to Keep Jesus Central. The authors are convinced of the importance of operating in God's supernatural realm: "Until authentic power displayed through God's prophets and healers… infuses society, people will continue to turn toward the only source of power they see—occult and paranormal power displayed through television and in New Age circles." Step out in faith—go beyond…
