 "Praying
for the Descendants of Abraham: Ishmael and Isaac"

1) Review of
God's Road Map: Israel's Future
On July 4th I was awakened with
a word, "God's Road Map Is Israel's Future". With this word came faith,
courage and an urgency for Israel's salvation. I was reassured that God had
a plan that would come to pass. In the January of 2002, I had an encounter
where a clock appeared on the wall in my hotel room reading 11:53 PM. The
voice of the Lord came, "It is the countdown to Zechariah 12." It was 7
minutes till the midnight hour. While preparing to speak on July 4th, the
Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me. "I want to talk to you about what time it
is. The time on the clock read 11:53. Romans 11 will be fulfilled through
Isaiah 53."
Again revelation flooded my being. Israel's prophetic destiny (Romans 11) is
fulfilled through the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53. This of course, is a
messianic prophecy about Jesus and his suffering for all mankind. Israel's
acceptance of their Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, will result in a worldwide
revival (Romans 11:12-15).
Review of Paul's'
Apostolic Heart for Israel
During a prayer watch, I became
enveloped in rays of white light beaming towards me. I was flooded with
light of God's love and revelation. The beams seemed to draw me into their
presence. I found my inner most being - my heart - being drawn deeper into
the heart of God. As I watched and prayed, a man appeared standing at the
end of this tunnel of love. I could see the heart of this man as he stood in
the light of God. The Holy Spirit indicated to me that this man represented
Paul the apostle. I heard words echoing within the chambers of his heart,
"My heart's desire is that all Israel be saved." I wept and wept with as a
fresh understanding came upon me. The Holy Spirit illuminated the words of
Romans 10:1 to me, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them
(Israel) is for their salvation." The Holy Spirit was revealing an apostolic
heart. God's desire is that all men repent and come to the saving knowledge
of the truth. But the Lord wants us each to have His heart for Israel and
the Jewish people. It is a part of our authentic apostolic mandate.
A Visionary
Encounter - Ishmael Crying in the Desert
While seeking the Lord I was
captured by hearing a voice of a young lad crying. I began to turn my
attention more attentively towards the sound. As I did, a vision unfolded
where I saw a desert where a young lad was crying. A mother came and hovered
over him as he was sobbing. As I continued looking in the Spirit, Genesis 17
and 21 became enlightened within my being. While meditating on this, the
voice of the Holy Spirit said to me, "Remember, Ishmael also came from
Abraham's seed." Once again, the Holy Spirit convicted me suddenly and
deeply. I began to cry out for the seed of Abraham to come into its full
destiny. I cried out for both sons - the descendants of Ishmael that for
generations has been in great conflict with the descendants of Isaac. There
is a great cry in the earth today - one that arises from out of the midst of
Ishmael and Isaac's off spring. I have declared publicly on many occasions
in recent months, "The Islamic veil shall be pierced. Entire Mosques shall
be converted into 24/7/365 prayer and worship centers to the one true God of
Yeshua - Jesus - the Messiah." "Ishmael's cry shall be heard and a great
nation shall come forth. Remember, Ishmael too comes from Abraham's seed!"
(Note: Many of these
encounters contain symbols of people appearing to me in a visionary manner.
These experiences are not self-induced but initiated by the Holy Spirit. Let
us use wisdom and discernment in how these types of experiences are
conveyed.)
Scripture
Promises Concerning Ishmael
Genesis 17:20, 25
- "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold. I will make him
fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall become the father of
twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.... And Ishmael his son was
thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
Genesis 21:12 - 14
- "But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and
your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your
descendants shall be named. And of the son of the maid I will make a nation
also, because he is your descendant. So Abraham rose early in the morning,
and took bread and a skin of water, and gave them to Hagar, putting them on
her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and
wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba."
Genesis 21:17, 18
- "And God heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from
Heaven, and said to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear,
for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. "Arise, lift up the lad
and hold him by the hand; for I will make a great nation of him.""
The Days of Awe and Strategic
Prayer
As we approach the Days of Awe -
the Day of Atonement - and the Feast of Tabernacles this fall, I sense a
great urgency in my Spirit. We need to be in prayer for both the peoples of
Israel and the surrounding nations and their peoples. An escalation of war
could be imminent with all its tragic consequences. Hundreds, if not
thousands, of lives could be lost. We must cry out to the God of salvation
for the revelation of Yeshua to be granted to both the sons of Isaac and the
sons of Ishmael. There is only one name under heaven by which a man can be
saved - His name is Jesus.
As most of you know - I carry a heart's cry for God's purposes to be
fulfilled for Israel and the Jewish People World-Wide. But I beseech you to
join with me in intercession that the blinders would fall off both the
descendants of Isaac and Ishmael in this pivotal hour so that they could
behold the glorious Messiah. Lives are at stake!
Also be in intercession for the leaders of the United States, Israel and
Jordan in particular. Cry out to the Lord that mercy would be granted to our
statesmen. Do not pray in a critical manner but rather out of a heart of
compassion and mercy. Cry out to the Lord that our leaders will hear the
Lord's will in this hour and act accordingly.
Join me in this next month and pray for the salvation of Jew and Gentile a
like in the Middle East. Let's call forth a loving revelation of God's Son
to be granted to every man, woman and child. Pray that the Prince of Peace
will manifest Himself during these Days of Awe and the Feast of Tabernacles.
From the Desk of
James W. Goll
Thanks goes to all of you who
have prayed for our family and sent notes of kindness since the Graduation
to heaven of my mother, Amanda Elizabeth Goll, on August 3rd. Our extended
family has much work in front of us to do to prepare the old home front in
Cowgill, MO for sell etc. Please pray for the right buyer to be released. It
seems to be a time of "pruning before a new blooming" and "dismantling
before a re-mantling". Our ministry is going through a difficult season
financially as we have had to lay off half our staff in the past two weeks.
Ask the Lord for His wisdom and provision during this season. I welcome you
to come to our 3rd Annual Prophetic Destiny Conference October 16 - 18 in
Brentwood, TN with the theme "Opening the Healing Wells". Cal Pierce of the
Spokane Healing Rooms, Pat Coking from the War Room in Kelowna, British
Columbia, Canada, James Maloney of Christ for the Nations, and psalmist
Scott Brenner will join the Robinson's, Goll's for this timely event.
Healing Room Appointments will be set up during the daytime for our
registered attendees. No call in appointments will be accepted. Visit our
web site at www.propheticdestiny.com to register.
It is also the season for "Missions" in the Goll household. Justin is
attending The Call School for nine months in Pasadena, CA. Grace Ann is
making plans to go on a missions trip to Indonesia soon. Tyler and Rachel
are intending on going to Mexico and/or Brazil next summer. Dear Dad heads
off to Guatemala the end of October as well. So our entire family is off to
the nations!
Blessings to each of
you! Thanks for standing with us.
If the ministry of James and
Michal Ann Goll and Team has blessed you, please consider giving a financial
