The Discerner

Receiving revelation from God—it is something we all want! Have you ever wished you had a hotline from heaven to know what to do in every situation? You may have thought—I know God speaks in many ways, but how can I be sure what I’m hearing is from Him? What pitfalls do I need to avoid so that I am not deceived? This class will teach you to walk in the supernatural power and guidance of God, with confidence. Not only will you hear Him better, you’ll gain clarity to avoid the traps of the enemy and discern the times in which we live. Lessons include: Surrendering Your Senses to the Holy Spirit, Testing the Spirits, The Spirit of Deception, Exposing Demonic Influences, Avoiding Common Pitfalls, Revelation’s Ultimate Purpose, and more!

Powerful Prophetic Intercession

What if there were a key that makes your prayers more effective, bringing them into agreement with the heart of God every time? This kind of praying exists, and it is called prophetic intercession. A prophetic intercessor leans into the Father, praying what is seen and heard in alignment with His heart, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Even when you know little in the natural, you can follow His promptings and pray with confidence. Effective prayer begins with listening for God’s voice. It means praying His desires, with the love and revelation He provides. It is lifting the needs of others before Him by discerning His will for individuals, cities, and nations. To be a prophetic intercessor is to co-labor with Christ, staying sensitive to the Holy Spirit and partnering with Him to influence the future through prayer. Are you ready to step into the true purpose of intercession and pray prayers God longs to answer? He is inviting you into a deeper dimension of power-filled prayer.

The Seer

The Seer class is part of the Chamber of Revelation Series: Equipping a Prophetic Army. The prophetic movements in church history and in contemporary life are fed by two mighty streams: the prophet, whose revelation is primarily verbal, and the seer, whose revelation is more visionary in nature. While the role of the prophet is familiar, less is known about the seer dimension. To many people, these visionary prophets remain mysterious, otherworldly, and even strange. In this class, James W. Goll takes you on an exciting and insightful journey into this lesser-known dimension – the visionary world of the seer. You will discover the prophetic power of dreams, visions, and life under open heavens.
