Now is the Time for Godly Women to Arise! by James W. Goll

Franklin, TN

A Special Message from James W. Goll:

Now is the time for godly women as role models to emerge on the scene of Church history and extend their influence into all of the seven cultural mountains! Just like Barak and Deborah, we need men and women to work together. As a coach and a champion for women in leadership and ministry, I want to see a company of Deborahs arise in this hour across the spectrum of society.

That the leaders led in Israel, that the people volunteered, bless the Lord!Judges 5:2 NASB

Yes, it is a rather intense story found right in the middle of the pages of the Bible concerning Deborah the Deliverer (read Judges 4 & 5). But as a male spiritual leader, I have something to say to you, mighty women of God! We cannot afford for you to be fearful "little women" in your own eyes. It is time for you to emerge! We need you!

Instead, you must come forth with internal security like Deborah of old and pick up your warrior's mantle for such a time as this. Today, across the globe and right in our own back yards, there are enemies on the rampage tearing apart society at every corner. My late wife, Michal Ann Goll, and I founded the Women on the Frontlines conference movement. In her inaugural book,Women on the Front Lines – A Call to Courage, she issued a clarion call that still needs answered today:

"We live in an age that is sorely lacking in heroes. Think about it. Who can we look at today and regard as a hero? Certainly there are some, but they sure are hard to find! Isaiah the prophet said that when a people comes under judgment, God takes away wise leadership from the land – the hero, warrior, judge, prophet, elders and others (see Isaiah 3:1-4 NIV). During a time of restoration the Lord restores the Land. We are now entering a time of restoration, and the Lord is calling us to be heroes. He is preparing us for a time soon to come when the world will cry out for leaders who are in touch with the heart and the mind of God." (from Michal Ann Goll, Women on the Front Lines, (Photo of James and Michal Ann Goll)

So, with the voice of my late wife, Michal Ann Goll, still echoing in the shadows, a new breed of women leaders like Victoria Boyson are now emerging. There is a modern day women's movement that cannot be stopped from appearing on the global scene today. Together we echo loud and clear, "It's time to arise and carry Deborah's heart and anointing!" Yes, it must be a heart of purity mixed with the unshakable quality of courage.

It's time for men and women to join together and provide real leadership and justice like Deborah and Barak! As a male spiritual leader in the global prayer and prophetic movement, I say to you, "Come forth!" Come on now! Change society. Shift the courts. Bring revival and restoration to the land.

This book "God's Magnum Opus - The Value of a Woman" is an excellent treasure to be added to the voices who have gone before. Victoria Boyson is a brave, mature, and pure voice from the Lord. I am grateful to the Lord for this excellent book! I highly commend to you the writings, the ministry, and the life of another one of God's Girls in this hour!

Remember, you were chosen for such a time as this!
