Nothing stretches the imagination more than the fact that God gives Himself to us as an inheritance. As believers, we have access to the heart of God, and as intercessors, we have the power to release His heart onto the earth. In Praying with God s Heart , James Goll explores how to partner with the Lord in bringing heaven to earth. Raise your level of expectation. God is looking for those who will stand in the gap, repair the walls and partner with Him to make history.
Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, California; author, God Is Good , The Power That Changes the World
I can attest to the intercessory grace on James Golls life and his passion for Jesus. I have known James for over thirty years. Praying with Gods Heart will add needed ammunition to the prayer arsenal to inspire effective, fervent prayer from the heart.
Mike Bickle, International House of Prayer of Kansas City
Dr. James Goll is one of the most seasoned teachers, mentors and instructors on the subject of prayer and intercession today. Praying with Gods Heart will motivate you to draw close to the heart of God and partner with Him for Kingdom advancement. This book will empower and motivate you to pray effectively from a place of intimacy with God.
Dr. Patricia King, founder, Patricia King Ministries, www.patriciaking.com
What an excellent resource! Here is a call to prayer that understands the prophetic, a call to intercession that understands the importance of Israel, a call to supplication that understands the Spirit. James Goll is one of the few leaders in the Body today who could write such a book, let alone do it with passion, biblical grounding and balance. This is highly recommended reading.
Dr. Michael L. Brown, author, professor, radio/TV host; founder and president, FIRE School of Ministry
I hear from people all the time that their prayer lives are shallow or that they need an upgrade. Here is a tool to take you into an empowered prayer journey, something every Christian should regularly invest time, energy and even money into. You can go from the normal to the adventurous spiritual encounters that James Goll has in his own life. Read this book and inherit the prayer life you have been praying for!
Shawn Bolz, president, Bolz Ministries
If there is anyone who knows how to pray with Gods heart, its James. Having had the opportunity to sit, pray and prophesy with him, Im excited for readers who will learn from him through this book. His revelation and practical advice will revolutionize your prayer life.
Jennifer LeClaire, senior leader, Awakening House of Prayer, Ignite Prophetic Network
Go ahead. Thank the Lord in advance for what He is going to do to your prayer life once you read this book. You will find yourself breathing in the atmosphere of the Spirit and breathing out the spirit of prayer. I certainly did!
Laura Harris Smith, C.N.C., author, nutritionist; TV host, theTHREE
James Goll is a true prophetic father who has labored for many years to see a thriving and mature prophetic people arise. In Praying with Gods Heart James perfectly connects the dots between prayer and prophetic. Prophets and prophetic people are by nature intercessors and those who are intimate with God. This book will kick-start your prophetic prayer life and launch you into new dimensions.
Ryan LeStrange, author, Hells Toxic Trio
James Goll speaks of the kind of biblically informed intercession that transformed the age of Wesley, set ablaze the meadows of Cane Ridge and, as in Wales and at Azusa Street, shaped the course of nations. If it is true, as Jonathan Edwards said, that when God determines to give His people revival, He sets them a-praying, then this book is as much a hopeful sign as it is a fresh unveiling of Gods ways.
Stephen Mansfield, New York Times bestselling author
If the Lord called His own house an eternal house of prayer, there must be incredible depths and dimensions of prayer we have yet to discover. One who could show us such profound and prophetic revelation would need to be a humble seeker, a desperate travailer and a warring prevailer. I know of no man more qualified to take us on that journey than James Goll.
Dr. Ch Ahn, Harvest International Ministries; HRock Church, Pasadena, California
Devour this book! James Goll gives not just an understanding of the theology of intercession but of how the principles apply in your daily life. Through many years of prayerful living, James is able to impart these truths to others. I encourage every believer in every church to read this book.
Mahesh Chavda, All Nations Church, Charlotte, North Carolina
Dedication
I dedicate this book to the memory of my dear late wife, Michal Ann Goll, to whom I had the honor of being married for more than 32 years. Though she passed through the thin veil into heaven in the fall of 2008, she yet remains a source of inspiration to many around the world. A rare example of character and gifting brought together in one person, she helped pave the way for an entire generation of prophetic intercessors to arise. She was my best friend, closest confidante and greatest support in life and ministry. I still miss her every day and just wish we could have one more prayer time together.
