Join James W Goll in this episode of "The Discrnr's Exhortation" for February 2026, where he delivers a timely message: "Don't Give Up." Drawing from key scriptures like Galatians 6:9 and 2 Corinthians 4:16, James encourages believers not to grow weary in doing good, promising that in due season, we will reap if we do not lose heart.

In this Praying Discerners Podcast episode, James W. Goll builds on recent teachings about discerning the times with the Issachar anointing (1 Chronicles 12:32). He revisits his January 1st vision of falling dominoes among nations—highlighted by shifts in Venezuela—and points to overlooked strategic places like Georgetown, Guyana, as a future port city for a major Holy Spirit outpouring. The central message draws from Psalm 2: "Why do the nations rage?" James unpacks the psalm's layers—historical opposition to King David, prophetic resistance to Israel, and ultimate rebellion against God's Anointed, Jesus Christ. He connects it to today's global unrest in Iran (people's revolution and fastest church growth), Ukraine, Sudan, Venezuela, and beyond, where nations and rulers conspire against God's order—yet Heaven laughs, and Christ receives the nations as His inheritance. James urges believers to reject critical spirits and word curses, instead living as active participants: walking humbly (Micah 6:8), acting in the opposite spirit, seeking divine intelligence, and becoming hope-bringers who see God's redemptive purpose beyond every chaos. He reads from The Lifestyle of a Watchman on desperate prayer in crisis and prophesies a massive end-time harvest, revival in Iran, reformation among the Kurds, a Middle East renaissance, and shining "cities on a hill" as the unshakable Kingdom emerges. The episode closes with prayer for hope, rebuke of heaviness, redemptive interpretation of shaking times, recruits into the Global Prayer Storm, and an invitation to join the prayer movement.

Using the beautiful analogy of a symphony orchestra, James shows how every believer is called to play a unique instrument in God's global orchestra of prayer. Just as brass, woodwinds, strings, and percussion must submit to the conductor and the score to create heavenly music, so the Body of Christ must come together under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the authority of God's Word. Psalm 100:4
