The Scriptures give us a full-color picture of a God who is moved by emotions such as yearning, love, and compassion. Our human emotions reflect the emotional qualities of our Creator, who made us in His own image. Feelings have a vital place in any believer's life, not just in those who have a more sensitive nature due to their personalities.
The Feeler by James W. Goll delivers a remarkable biblical perspective on our emotions and how they help us to discern and act on God's voice. We experience the love, joy, and presence of God with our feelings. Our emotions have an impact on our bodies, our level of holiness, our relationships, and our decisions.
The Bible tells us we need to have our "senses trained to discern good and evil" (Hebrews 5:14 NASB). What are we training? Both our natural senses and our spiritual senses. Our physical senses, with the addition of "knowing," correspond to our spiritual senses in these ways:

James Goll is such an immense treasure trove of wisdom, knowledge, and revelation on anything and everything to do with spiritual sensing and discerning.

James Goll is not just a dear friend; I consider him to be one of profound mind and insight in relation to prophetic perception. As the church continues to move forward into the intention of God for its future, more and more you will be hearing of the need for a Pentecostal and charismatic "Theology of Discernment." As people who believe in the fullness of the Spirit, our comprehension of the process of perception and discernment is influenced by our encounters with God the Father's threefold cord, which is never to be separated: the Holy Spirit, the Son of God, and the Scriptures. We, as God's company of prophetic and kingly priests, are coming to terms with how to enter into the purposes of God with discernment that brings about His desired results. James's newest release, The Feeler, is a perfect follow-up to his classic work The Discerner. The Feeler gives us all a seat at the table where this conversation is taking place--and will continue to take place and expand as we move forward into the future Jesus has prepared for us. My thanks to James for taking on this topic. As you read, you will discover how James's brilliance shines on every page!

As believers, all of us have the ability to hear God's voice, although how we primarily hear from Him or obtain revelation may be different from the next person. Many of us are wired to first discern through our feelings what God is doing, then knowing or supernaturally seeing follows. James Goll's newest book, The Feeler, is being released at this pivotal moment in history to instruct us how to discern, in the "Feeler realm," what God is saying. It's an encouragement that our feelings often lead to the discovery of the "more" that God has for us in the supernatural. Be encouraged! You are hearing from God through what you are sensing and feeling!

Devour this book. James Goll gives us not just an understanding of the theology of discernment in how to better hear God's voice, but also in how these principles apply to our daily lives. Through many years of experience and ministry, James is able to impart truths in practical ways to others. I encourage every believer who desires to grow in the areas of discernment and the prophetic to study The Feeler.

One of my deep concerns for the church is that many believers haven't been equipped to walk in the supernatural power that God has made available to them, and therefore they remain discouraged and defeated in their lives. We need more teaching about how God is continually reaching out to help us and wants us to live in peace, strength, and victory in our Christian lives. James Goll is a gifted teacher with a pastor's heart who shares a groundbreaking message for the body of Christ. In his new book The Feeler, he explains how God has specifically designed us to hear Him and to serve Him with not only our spirits, minds, and wills but also our emotions. When we learn to employ the full range of our God-given senses, we will be supernaturally equipped in new and powerful ways to receive from Him in the heavenly realms and then to reach out to other people with His love, grace, healing, freedom, purpose, and victory.

James Goll's book The Feeler explores a dimension that at times has been greatly overlooked, especially if we are not tuned in to the nuances of the Holy Spirit's directives. As you read this book, you will be awakened into a whole new realm of insight, guidance, and revelation. You will be invited into another class in the School of the Holy Spirit of Hearing and Obeying the Voice of God. James is pioneering for the body of Christ once again, as he did previously with his classic books The Seer and The Discerner. Add The Feeler to your arsenal, and you will be more equipped and ready than ever before!
