From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I always, always look forward to reading James Goll's prophetic words and teachings for the Body of Christ.
James is gifted in so many ways that we get to glean from! Here below is an article he writes about "activating our spiritual senses". I think this is a HUGE subject God is teaching us...and in the gift of discerning of spirits. Operating in these sensory gifts and discerning them is a MUST in the days ahead, as they will be vitally important.
James shares here:
Each of us has been equipped with five natural senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. I believe there is also a sixth sense called "knowing," and as New Testament Believers we can now have the very "mind of Christ."
Read James' article and find out how you can activate your spiritual senses and walk in them in a fresh, new way! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Although some Believers are especially gifted as prophets, every follower of Jesus receives the gifts of revelation and discernment. And every Believer needs to use them! In fact, without discernment and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, we cannot progress in our use of any of the gifts and callings. But when we do, the sky is the limit!
As a kid growing up in a small town in Missouri, I loved watching programs on our little black-and-white television set. I would watch them for as long as I was allowed, and the picture never seemed dull, lifeless, or lacking in clarity. But when we upgraded to a color TV, suddenly the programs came alive to me in a new way. We went from everything being "black and white" to omni-vision over night!

Early in my Christian life, it looked a lot like our old black-and-white television. The programming and reception were not too bad, and I thought things were going along fine. Then everything shifted unexpectedly, and I have never wanted to go back. It is actually rather exciting! Here is what happened.
For some time, I had been getting various brief mental snapshots and I would notice for a millisecond and think, "Where did that come from? What was that?" It was as if my senses were waking up. Occasionally, I seemed to be able to look deep into a person's being and discern or know something that would never appear to my natural eye only.
I remember the first time it occurred. I met a particular church leader, and it was as if I could see diamonds glistening inside his mind, while at the same time I knew what that image meant. I thought about how we all have the mind of Messiah Jesus (see 1 Corinthians 2:16), and I could tell that this man had God's spirit of wisdom to an exceptional degree. I also felt that this godly wisdom would be used to benefit both the... (continue reading)
