The Seer: The Prophetic Power of Visions, Dreams and Open Heavens

by Jim W. Goll

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.

Knowledge dispels misunderstanding. Join author Jim W. Goll 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 the open heavens.

How does visionary revelation "happen?" Can it be trusted? Where does it fit into the life of the church today? Can any believer become a seer, or is this a prophetic dimension reserved for the specially-gifted? The Seer answers these questions and will move your heart and stir up your hunger for intimacy with God, because The Seer's goal is to reveal the man Christ Jesus!

Elijah Among Us:
Understanding and Responding to God's Prophets Today
by John Loren Sandford

Twenty-five years after the release of his ground-breaking book The Elijah Task, co-authored with his wife, Paula, a sequel comes from the powerful pen of John Sandford. In Elijah Among Us, he outlines a biblically rooted discussion of prophetic history and functioning, both how to instruct prophets and commission their office and how to inform the church about prophetic ministry. Sandford wrote this follow-up book because he sees a strong and even dangerous overemphasis in the church on the "giving of personal words," which is only one role of the prophetic office. The first section of this book develops a history of the prophetic office, how the office metamorphosed from one of warning into proclaiming God's gentle and merciful side, and becoming burden-bearers. Second, Sandford sets forth the working functions of prophets, explaining how they serve in twelve major roles, including bringing blessings, healing, warning of impending judgment, giving protection from tragedies, and offering direction, guidance, or confirmation. Readers will gain crucial knowledge of a widely misunderstood topic, helping them be discerning in these strategic end times. Authoritative and compelling, Elijah Among Us is a timely and vital work for the Body of Christ.

The Coming Prophetic Revolution
A Call for Passionate, Consecrated Warriors
by Jim Goll

The Coming Prophetic Revolution offers a unique and refreshing approach to the "heart issues" of the prophetic gifting. Centered around a character study of John, the beloved apostle, it develops the tie between intimacy with God and the corresponding grace of hearing his voice. Being a prophetic generation, the author explains, is not so much about giftedness as it is about people who have spent intimate time with the Lord Jesus and declare faithfully what they have heard from the mouth of God. 

Ruthlessly yet graciously, Goll exposes common misconceptions from his own personal journey with prophetic ministry, as well as through the successes and failures of gifted people throughout church history. A great tool—more than instruction, but wisdom from the trenches—for pastors who grapple with the real-life issues of working with prophetic people. The Coming Prophetic Revolution casts the vision that will take us from a fragmented body of Christ to the great revolutionary army of God on earth. 

"Goll's extraordinary ability to think through crucial issues to current prophetic ministry, and his skill at expressing the solutions in terms that the average believer can understand, come through loud and clear in this book. Don't miss it!"—C. Peter Wagner, Chancellor, Wagner Leadership Institute

"This book takes us on a prophetic journey, cleverly navigating our way through scriptural principles. I foresee it changing lives and preparing generations. Allow it to change and prepare you!"—Dr. Kingsley A. Fletcher, senior pastor, Life Community Church, Research Triangle Park, NC

Prophetic Etiquette
Your Complete Handbook On Giving And Receiving Prophecy
by Michael Sullivant

"I have been very pleased to be able to make a contribution to the growing body of literature on the role of Christian prophecy. It is a book that not only outlines some of the basic values that govern prophetic ministry (love, humility, integrity and passionate pursuit), but also "tells my story"—both successes and failures. More and more we are going see this marvelous gifting from the Holy Spirit poured out upon believers in Christ and we need to become conversant with the principles that surround it proper use." —Michael Sullivant

Growing in the Prophetic
by Mike Bickle with Michael Sullivant

Mike Bickle has known both the exhilaration and the confusion caused by prophetic ministry. As a young pastor not personally inclined toward prophesy, he was taken by surprise by the upsurge of the gift in his own church. Feeling almost ambushed by God, he looked for help and advice, but with little success. Thus began an often painful journey away from "prophetic chaos" toward a clearer understanding of God's order. It is out of this experience he now writes for all those who are interested in seeing prophetic ministy developed in the church today.

Your Sons & Daughters Shall Prophesy
Prophetic Gifts in Ministry Today
by Ernest B. Gentile

"Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy. . ." Was Paul addressing only the Corinthian Christians, or does his admonition hold true for the Church today? Does the voice of God speak directly and specifically to this generation?

With a resounding yes, Ernest B. Gentile shows that the apostles intended prophecy to continue as a vital function in the Church's ongoing development. This book presents the scriptural background and theoretical concepts behind prophecy, interspersed with first-hand accounts and personal observations.

"Ernest writes out of living experience that includes sound biblical scholarship and practical issues of the prophetic in the local church."—Mike Bickle

Kneeling on the Promises
Birthing God's Purposes Through Prophetic Intercession
by Jim W. Goll

Prophetic intercession is catching fire as God's people learn the power of praying his promises back to him. In this extraordinary book, Jim Goll draws from the stories of Elijah, who travailed for rain, and Anna, the praying prophetess whose intercession prepared the way for the Messiah, to illustrate the biblical mandate for intercessory prayer. He tells his own gripping, life-changing experience of how God gave him and his wife four children despite her barrenness, and uses this testimony as a metaphor for what God can do for dying churches and hopeless circumstances when Christians kneel on the promises. 

"We must learn to kneel in targeted intercessory prayer, praying God's promises back to Him. Through these pages you will learn God's heart for prayer and the prophetic, His heart for His people Israel, how to lift a cry for mercy and how to call forth God's intervention. Let prophetic intercession consume you with a vision to change history."—Mike Bickle

The Voice of God
How God Speaks Personally and Corporately to His Children Today
by Cindy Jacobs

Is God still speaking to us today? Is prophecy still a valid gift for God's children today? In this practical, biblical examination of the gift of prophecy, you'll get a clear picture of what prophecy is and how it works—in the lives of individuals (personal prophecy) and entire churches (corporate prophecy). The Voice of God shows you how the gift of prophecy, when used correctly, can be the pathway for a powerful, life-giving movement of God in the Church today.

"The Bible encourages those who love and obey the living Lord to expect to hear from Him. The Voice of God is a practical guide to hearing God and speaking His voice. It will help you to know how to go about these things without violating Scripture, sanity or just plain good sense."—Jack W. Hayford
