The Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders was convened 22 years ago under the leadership of C. Peter Wagner and steered by Cindy Jacobs of Generals International. For years, this council has met together to seek the face of God for a collective word of the Lord for the coming year(s) for the body of Christ, the United States, and the nations of the earth. This is one of many prophetic roundtables that exist. This relationally-based council joins the generations, represents various ethnic backgrounds and includes a wide diversity of those with a prophetic gifting: mature prophets, seers, prophetic intercessors, and men and women. I, James W. Goll, am honored to be one of the founding members of the ACPE, along with other nationally recognized prophets, such as Bishop Bill Hamon. Several of the original founders of the group have gone home to be with the Lord in recent years such as John Sandford, Gwen Shaw, Beth Alves and others. In recent years, numerous other maturely gifted fathers and mothers in the prophetic movement have joined to increase our wonderfully diverse group. The following is a summation of words presented at the annual ACPE gathering deciphered by our International Director of the ACPE, Dr. Cindy Jacobs titled, "THE STAND." It's time to take a stand! James W. Goll "THE STAND" Word of the Lord from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders for 2021 & Beyond A YEAR OF GREAT CONTRASTS A time of stark contrast follows the aftermath of the reset. When you turn off your phone, it goes black, and then it comes back when you turn it back on. So we are now living what has been reset. The reset button has been pushed and it creates a stark contrast. One of the scriptures that exemplifies this contrast the most is found in Matthew 24:6–8. "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:6-8 NKJV • Persecution Persecutions will deepen, and in contrast, the greatest revival the earth has ever known is upon us. One primary manifestation of this revival will be in the Middle East, in nations such as Sudan who have aligned with Israel. • Men's Hearts will Grow Cold "For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God," 2 Timothy 3:2–4 NKJV Even in the midst of great moves of God, the contrasts between good and evil will become more apparent. In the United States, this manifestation will be seen in government structures as some become more godly and others turn away deeper and further from God. • Wars and Rumors of Wars Watch China carefully. There is the threat of the red dragon militarizing against the United States and other countries, especially Taiwan. While there will come a time when the Bamboo Curtain will fall, and when China will lead in world economics, it is not to happen under a Communist Regime. Satan wants to change the times and seasons, but if those who follow the Lion of Judah will cry out in intercession, the Communist takeover will not advance. The Red Dragon wants to swallow up Vietnam and South East Asia, as well as Korea. As "Gatekeepers of Prayer" we cannot allow this to occur. If Japan tries to "ally" with China, she will find herself devoured also. This dragon has an insatiable appetite for a ruling empire. In fact, there is an empire spirit or dominion that is on the move. As big a threat as Islam has been to the world, Communism is a greater threat in this era. • A Chinese Pearl Harbor has taken place. Watch for more ways in which China will gain access to the USA through kickbacks, election-tampering, and sabotage. Satan has many plans, but if we pray there will be a great checkmate of Satan's plans. SHAKINGS IN EVERY REALM OF SOCIETY There are shakings happening between political systems, but there will also be physical manifestations. It is not that these shakings are not already happening, but the frequency will escalate including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the like. The whole earth is groaning. There will be new political parties that will be taking shape; they will be formed and increase in influence. |
