From the Desk of James W. Goll
There is great tension in the air as spiritual warfare is bring openly being fought and manifesting in ways that many of us have not seen in for years. Just consider the recent U. N. public display of anti-Christ and anti-Semitic leaders of the nations espousing their inerrant and demonic views before the world. It makes you shudder – unless you believe in the prevailing power of prayer!
That is why we are hosting our Let the Fire Burn Prayer Storm Intensive on November 6, 7, 2009 right at our EN Ministry Center in Franklin, TN. Registration is open to the first 120! Come and join us!
Along with our usual communications tools of Prayer Storm at the beginning of the week and A View from My Chair – at the end of the week, we also offer you over 30 free video down load feeds, free MP3 teachings, twitter Inspirational Words, our regular web sites updated constantly and an Encounters Network FaceBook and TheSeer MySpace! Join in on these many tools to spread the power of Jesus. Spread the word! Forward the teachings and web casts to others. Help us expand our sphere of influence through simple friendship! Okay?
This week, I want to present to you another one of the pertinent, vintage prophetic words given by one of the Church statesmen of our day, Jack Hayford, former senior pastor of Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California, and Founder of King’s Seminary. Although the word was delivered August 1, 1980, it is one of the clearest trumpet sounds I have ever heard.
Read and listen with your heart and see if you do not agree. This word needs to be sounded once again, I believe, in this decade. Perhaps it is even more pertinent in this day than it was those 30 years ago when it was delivered!
Remember to join us at our Prayer Storm Intensive! Sign up Now!
With Expectancy and Fervency!

Hold Back the Storm
By Jack Hayford
A Prophetic Appeal for Intercession
“The Lord God would call all of His redeemed in this land to lift up their eyes and look! Over your nation there are leaden skies, clouds of impending judgment which hang heavy with a rain of fury and indignation which this people have brought upon themselves. As sin has risen as a vapor of evil, now clouds of judgment have formed and shall shortly be precipitated in wrath and destruction, except an intercessor rise to hold back the storm.
And so the Lord calls: O Church, cause your words to rise in prayers of intercession unto deliverance. The skies are dropping lower, skies of lead weighted with judgment, but your entry with prayer can save the day. For the Lord would have you see that your intercession, O Church, rises like pillars, extending through prayer and pressing back the impending judgment, pushing the leaden skies upward and backward. Take your place as pillars of prayer, for I would that there be mercy upon this nation rather than judgment; I would there be healing rather than death!
Cause the word to go forth with understanding that My people need not surrender to the storm which threatens. Did I not deliver Nineveh when repentance came? If you pray ceaselessly until the leaden skies of judgment be lifted by pillars of prayer, then will the light, the glory and the blessing of the Lord flood your land and healing come again. Lift up your voices with praise, raising pillars of intercession, and you shall see the deliverance of God, if you will pray as He directs.”

Referral Resources for Your Learning
If this word has struck a cord in your life, then you might consider come of the referral resources I have developed over the years. My book, The Prophetic Intercessor, is one of the classics on this very subject and one of my life messages. This word in included in that book. My study guide on Compassionate, Prophetic Intercession and the CD album that accompanies it, has been used by hundreds to ground them in these lost arts of intercession.
I would also refer you to my book, study guide, DVD and or CD set on Prayer Storm. Chapters or lessons include Praying for Those in Authority, Crisis Intervention and other pertinent teachings. These tools underscore the message of this timeless word.
Whatever the case, I wanted to bring your attention to this time tested word from our statesmen Jack Hayford. It was a true word in 1980 when it was released. It is true word for us today as well!
God Bless You!
