Standing Strong in the Anointing - by James W Goll (Paperback)

About the Book

Supernatural experiences from God are exciting, but they can also be complex and diverse, and we must understand how to respond to them and the power we receive through them. Author James W. Goll shows how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life and experience supernatural encounters while remaining fully grounded in Christ--avoiding the pitfalls that have caused so many others to fall into error.

Book Synopsis

How Do We Handle Supernatural Power?

Supernatural experiences can be powerfully moving, but they also can be diverse and complex. God desires to anoint all His people with His supernatural power so that we can encounter Him in deep and personal ways. To rightly walk in this power, we must understand both the opportunity and the responsibility that come with this invitation.

After experiencing numerous moves of the Spirit and seeing many tragic casualties in the church, Dr. James Goll, author of the bestseller The Seer, has written Standing Strong in the Anointing to help us understand the biblical nature of the anointing, interpret the various ways of the Holy Spirit, and walk wisely as we experience divine encounters. You will learn how to:

- Cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life
- Unlock supernatural encounters
- Recognize the deception and temptations that can undermine the anointing
- Safeguard your faith so you can finish strong

The ultimate goal of any supernatural encounter is to reveal Jesus. He is our great reward, and He is also able to keep us from stumbling as we discern the traps and embrace all the blessings of supernatural encounters. We have been entrusted with the priceless power and presence of God. Let us endeavor to stand strong in that anointing so that we can bear lasting fruit--in our lives and for the growth of God's kingdom on earth.

Standing Strong in the Anointing is a "now word" for the body of Christ! It may be James Goll's best book yet. James carries a unique voice of wisdom and revelation, born out of his rich personal encounters with Holy Spirit and his leadership role in several moves of God. He has experienced the anointing being manifested in and through God's people in unprecedented ways. He has also mourned as he has seen some people fall into the traps of sin and pride that destroy lives, families, and ministries. This incredible book will stir a desire in every leader and believer to demonstrate greater intimacy, power, and proficiency in the anointing of Holy Spirit, resulting in signs, wonders, miracles, and revelation for the last days' harvest. This, however, must be coupled with the character, humility, purity, and wisdom to steward their gifts in an authentic way. These pages will empower and equip believers to not only start strong but also finish well, to the glory of God.

Although many preachers and teachers regularly refer to the anointing, few have found a way to describe the practical processes of maturing in the anointing, as well as avoiding the accompanying pitfalls. I am grateful to my friend James Goll for publishing a book that deals with many of the issues involved in supernatural ministry. I know this book will be a great help to thousands of believers.
