Welcome to episode 52 of Tales of Glory. We continue in our study of spiritual warfare and the occult in the book of Exodus. In this episode, we dive into Exodus 4 and God conceding to Moses. In this episode, we see Moses tell God to get someone else to be king and priest. We see Yahweh tell Moses what signs to show the elders. And Zipporah act as a Levite priest who performs circumcision on her son. And we learn more ancient Hebrew idioms!
57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns. Deuteronomy 28:57
Welcome to episode 51 of Tales of Glory. We continue in our study of spiritual warfare and the occult in the book of Exodus. In this episode, we dive into Exodus 3 and examine who is the angel of Yahweh. What does the Biblical forensic evidence say about the angel of Yahweh? Why is it important to understand the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, and where is he found in the Old Testament, especially in the book of Exodus? We dive into this exciting topic as we continue in the book of Exodus.
Thanks for tuning in. It was so nice to be back home finally in my studio. For the past two months, I struggled with the MacBook Air. It did an adequate job, but the little Mac didn't have the horsepower or audio equipment I had back in the M16 bunker. You can tell the difference in the audio.
If you have any questions about the angel of Yahweh, feel free to post in the comments below.
That's right. It's the big episode, Five-Oh! "Spiritual Warfare in the Old Testament - Exodus 1-2". In episode 50, we dig into God and his supernatural realm in the book of Exodus. What fascinates me about the book of Exodus is that it demonstrates how we deal with the occult through God. The Egyptian gods weren't some weird belief or cult. These gods were of the occult and had power - witchcraft. Learn who these Egyptian occult gods are and how God easily overpowers them. Did Jesus deliver the Israelites from Egypt? We discover this and a lot more as we examine the scripture in the book of Exodus. In this episode, we will look at Exodus 1-2. You know the drill. Pull up your easy chair to the hearth and throw a log on the fire. Let's talk the book of Exodus and the supernatural.
We'll be covering the topic of Exodus for a couple of episodes. I also intend to return to finish up the Interior Castle as well. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here in the comment section or on The Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page.

On Halloween night, Monday Oct 31, 2022, I had the pleasure of being on The Paranormal Pride show with Denise Pridemore. Denise is an old friend of mine who was a part of the Demonology Today show with the late Ken and Farah Deel. This was like a family reunion. It was a great time and since I knew Denise I opened up to a lot of questions about ministry and some things that happened in my life to get me in the place that I am at now in ministry.
Show Notes
Here are some of the Bible verses we discussed on the show. I rattled off a lot of scripture on the show. Here is most of what I remember. Go ahead looks these up. Or watch the video and see where they were cited.
Matthew 27:50-54 - during Jesus resurrection the dead are raised and walk the streets.
1 Samuel 5:1-7 - the Philistine god Dagon bows to Yahweh's presence in the Ark of the Covenant. I mistakenly identified the Philistines as the Canaanites.
Acts 16:16-18 - Paul casts the demon out of the fortune teller girl.
Acts 19:11-20 - the sons of Sceva, Jewish exorcists, using the Solomon rituals, get beat up badly by the demons. - Why the Old Catholic church shouldn't be indulging in this demonic and false ritual of exorcism (Ghosts of Shepherdstown with Nick Groff).
Luke 10:17-20 - we can all cast out demons in the name of Jesus! Deliverance scripture.
Mark 9:9-29 - scripture defining exorcism, we petition Jesus.
Joel 2:28 - the Holy Spirit is poured out on all of us. Why we're all capable of spiritual discernment. It's not a psychic gift.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 - Spiritual discernment is a gift from the Holy Spirit, not a psychic gift (see verse 10).
Luke 16:19-31 - Sheol - Hades description and righteous in Abraham's bosom prior to Jesus' resurrection.
Genesis 6:1-4 - angelic beings- referred to as the Watchers, rebel against God and take for themselves earthly wives and mate with them.
2 Peter 2:4 - angels in chains are the Watchers from Genesis 6:1-4. Satan is not in chains ..yet.
Welcome to Tales of Glory - Episode 49! We will discuss the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and how it fits in with spiritual warfare. As I have taught this at conferences, I always encountered the same question, "If I am saved, and the Holy Spirit dwells in me, then why do I need the baptism of the Holy Spirit?" Many churches are at odds and even divided by this subject. So what do you, as a spiritual warfare minister, need to know about the baptism of the Holy Spirit? How and why does it empower you? And where is this in the Bible? Come on in, kick your shoes off and sit in your easy chair by the fire as we have a fireside chat on spiritual warfare and empowerment of the Holy Spirit!
Empowerment of the Holy Spirit." This topic can be a very complex and controversial subject. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here in the comment section or on The Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page.
Also, resolved the audio issues with the ol'Macbook Air. Hopefully, that is all behind us now while I broadcast from the road.
Also, I am still trying to raise money for a prophetic evangelism ministry trip coming up here real soon, and I am about $2K shy of the funds I need. So if you feel called to help see me, please use the PayPal button on the right.
Welcome to the Tales of Glory podcast page for Episode 48, where the Reverend Mike does a commentary on the Christian Ghost Brothers, Dalen, Juwan, and Marcus. I cover the proper protocol for Christian believers when they find themselves in these dark environments. I am a huge fan of the Ghost Brothers, so this is my appeal to my fellow Christian brothers about our obligation as children of God and what sort of conduct we should have in this position. If God gives you a mantle through the media to tread into darkness, should you be of the world? I cover this topic in an appeal for the Ghost Brothers to be who they are in this show and not be of the world. Now it's time to pop the drunk on some demons and dive into this episode of Tales of Glory.
If you're new to this page and a Christian ghost hunter, this is a video I did sometime back regarding the biblical position on interacting with ghosts. Is Christian Ghost Hunting a Sin?
Thank you for tuning in! I apologize for the audio. I am still on the road and without my recording studio at home. I am still cranking out podcasts on my little 2017 MacBook Air that could. I resolved the choppy mic issue from the last episode. It was an issue with the OBS Studio update, which failed to install correctly. I have that resolved now. But I miss my iMac and Mac Mini M1 back at the studio in the M16 bunker. I know I addressed many controversial things here in this episode that needed to be addressed. If you have questions, leave them here or go to the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page and post comments and questions there. Until next time!!! Be a blessing and make good choices! Rev. Mike
Tales of Glory - Episode 47 - Spiritual Warfare for Christians Experiencing Hauntings. In this episode, I address spiritual warfare tactics for Christians experiencing hauntings. I grew up in a generational haunting and finally had victory over it. I know what it's like not to have any lifelines to the church for help in these matters. The truth is that God gave you more spiritual authority than a paranormal investigator can comprehend. So lien on your faith to do the battle. Unfortunately, even Zac Baggans and Jack Osborne are clueless about the truth of the unseen realm. So why go to them? They only collect videos to prove that your house is haunted or has a demonic infestation. They don't know how to help you. If you're a pastor with a congregation member going through a haunting, then it is time you understand what is going on and get educated. The end times church can no longer stick its head in the sand in something we have complete spiritual authority over.
Thank you for tuning in! I apologize for the audio. I am still on the road and without my recording studio at home. The MacBook Air seems to have dynamic mic settings. I need to go figure that out. The audio was annoyingly choppy from that issue. I am working to resolve that! There is still lots of good information packed in this episode. If you have questions, leave them here or go to the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page and post comments and questions there. Until next time!!! Be a blessing and make good choices! Rev. Mike
Tales of Glory - Episode 46 - Prayer Life of the Spiritual Warrior. In this episode, I address something very dear that has been weighing on my heart. What does your identity and relationship with Jesus Christ need to look like to endure dark demonic battles? Here I share my thoughts and experiences from my personal prayer life that got me through some dark assignments against me. These demonic assignments took out some of my mentors and others I mentored. Sadly, these folks that were friends of mine are no longer in ministry anymore. So what was pivotal in these battles, and how did I endure? That's the subject of this episode of Tales of Glory - "Prayer Life of the Spiritual Warrior."
As we discuss the subject of Christian Mystical Theology, I must exclude the topics of centering prayer, and any teachings from Thomas Keating as these are Zen Buddist practices and in no way are compatible with contemplative prayer practices and theology. Practicing the presence of God, is still the mind and in filling with the Holy Spirit. Where Zen Buddism is purging ones self. One is of Jesus and the other is demonic.
Thank you for tuning into Episode 46! I hope you found this subject matter beneficial. There is a lot of material to cover with the Interior Castle. In previous podcasts on the mansions in the Interior Castle, I have covered quite a bit of Saint Teresa's material. So feel free to go back and check those out. The Interior Castle is the best Christian material I know that is out there on developing a prayer life, and there is a reason the book is a classic. It has stood the test of time. I am still working off my ol' 1.8Ghz dual-core Macbook Air. So it doesn't have my iMac's quality at home for producing these episodes. But for the time being, it works. God Bless and Enjoy!
Tales of Glory - Episode 44 - Fireside Chat - "Can Christians be Psychic Mediums?" What is a psychic medium? Is this a gift from God? What is the difference between mediumship and spiritual discernment? Can one redeem their gift as a medium? We dive into the Old Testament for the answers! In this episode, I respond to a Christian psychic medium asking my response on this subject matter. Lot's of good information here. So pull up your favorite easy chair to the fireplace. It's time for another spiritual fireside chat!
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 lays out the rules for Levites and Priests. Deuteronomy 18:9-17 outlines to the priests the practices that are abominable to the Lord.
Abominable Practices
9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.

I had the pleasure and owner to be interviewed by Heidi Mortenson, LMFT, on her podcast, Strong Tower - Mental Health. Heidi is a Christian counselor, licensed marriage family therapist, and minister of inner healing. Heidi is the author of what I consider an amazing book on defeating lies we believe about ourselves, The Brave Encourager: How the Power of Encouragement Changes the World. I present to you Strong Tower-Mental Health - Episode 76 - Do I Need Deliverance or Inner Healing?
New Podcast Episode out today: Do I Need Deliverance or Inner Healing? with Michael Norton
What is the difference between deliverance and inner healing? How do we know if we have a demon or is it a behavioral issue? Michael is an ordained spiritual warfare minister, exorcist, spiritual director, and Christian counselor. He has experience in haunted houses, working with cult survivors, doing exorcisms and seeing angels and demons. While these things may seem like they are way out there in the spirit, Michael brings it down to the most important thing in his life: having conversations with Jesus. In this episode, you will learn the difference between being psychic and prophetic and what a “fear meter” with witchcraft is. Michael discusses what it means to be “slimed” and what you can do if that happens to you. You will learn how to know when something is demonic or behavioral. He shares that most of the time it isn’t a demon, and people in ministry and counseling often miss the diagnosis of the fractured self = Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Michael demystifies many things of the spirit and tells engaging and inspiring stories on the front lines of his powerful M16 ministry.
Till Next Time
I hope you enjoyed this podcast. Subscribe to Heidi's podcast and hit those likes. Strongly Recommended. I need to get Heidi on Tales of Glory as a guest and let her share her wisdom on inner healing. Till next time!!! God Bless Rev Mike
In Tales of Glory Episode 45, we dive into some spiritual warfare training by yours truly. This course was a test run for a course curriculum called Kingdom Life Discipleship. This training was the baby of a ministry friend of mine, Adrienne Powell. Adrienne and I did a lot of homeless street ministry together in San Francisco with my Night Strike outreach on Friday nights. We did a lot of prophetic ministry outreaches into pagan festivals as well. As Adrienne put together some classes, she asked me to put together spiritual warfare training for her school. We recorded this training session as a dry run in December 2017. All things were moving forward, and then everything came to a halt. We recorded a few training sessions. While cleaning off hard drives and organizing my podcast files, I discovered this training class. It was too good not to publish.

Thank you for checking in. As you may have noticed, there is no episode 44. Episode 44 is still being edited. I did some Hebrew translations in Episode 44, which took a little longer than I expected. Episode 44 will be released after I complete the audio and video edits. If you have any questions from this episode, feel free to ask in the comments section.
Episode 43 - the big mic check and diving into Fr Fortea's book Interview with an Exorcist (pgs 59-61). In this episode, we examine some common beliefs of the Western Church on demonology and how it differs greatly from what the second temple Hebrews believed.
Hope you guys enjoyed the mic calibration and check. How are we sounding? Let me know if I should go through the book, Interview with an Exorcist from the beginning. Intriguing stuff in that book. Its cool to view it through the lens of the old church and the Apostles. Any questions or comments, post them below, or go find us on A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page.

Tales of Glory - Episode 42 - Spiritual Warfare and the Heavenly Realms. We're in Chapter 13 of A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare. Battling in the spiritual realms is the most ambiguous topic in Christian ministry and spiritual warfare media. For example, what is the difference between a low-level demon and a satanic angel? Biblically, what is an angel? How come low-level demons can't enter heaven, but satanic angels can? What is an unclean spirit? Has the modern western church lost the actual context of the spirit realm that Paul and the Apostles clearly understood? We examine these questions and many more as they pertain to spiritual warfare. Gain an understanding as to why we can't bind angelic beings.Learn how and why intercessors dangerously overstep their bounds in the heavenly realms. Do we have the spiritual authority to take on regional spirits, authorities, and principalities? What are regional spirits and principalities, and what was the Apostle Paul referring to in Ephesians 6:12? In this episode of Tales of Glory, we cover many good theological topics on spiritual warfare in the heavenly realms. So go pull up your easy chair to the fireplace, kick back and listen to another powerful equipping episode of Tales of Glory!
Please be patient. The video was a little off in this episode. I was setting up an iMac podcasting station on an old 2019 iMac. I didn't have all my settings right in OBS. So the video framing in the video is off-center and to the upper left corner. I will get that fixed by Episode 43!

Genesis 11:7-8 God dispersed the nations at the Tower of Babel.
7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.”8 So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Deuteronomy 32:8 God divided the nations amongst the sons of God (regional spirits)
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Exodus 12:12 God brought judgment to the gods of Egypt (wicked ruling spirits)
12 For I
will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
Daniel 10:13 the Prince of Persia a regional spirit over Persia
13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,
Ephesians 6:12 the Apostle Paul is pointing back to the spirits in Deuteronomy 32:8
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
The biblical evidence of the ruling spirits in the Old Testament is covered in my book, Cosmology and Demonology in Genesis 1-11, available for purchase on the right panel of this blog site.
The following prayer to bind principalities has been taken out of a popular routing demons prayer book. Based on what you learned in this podcast on warring in the heavenly realms, identify the errors in the theology along these lines.
Identify the lines that are good. Look for lines that are in violation of Jude 8-10. Explain how these scriptures have been taken out of context.
Jesus, You have cast out the prince of this world and defeated him.
Jesus, You spoiled principalities and made an open show of them (Col 2:15).
I bind the prince of the power of the air in the name of Jesus (Eph 2:2).
I bind and rebuke Beeelzebub, the prince of the demons (Matt 12:24)
I bind the principalities and powers in my region in the name of Jesus (Eph 6:12).
I command the principalities to come down in the name of Jesus (Jer 13:18)
Lord, release Your warring angels against the demonic princes (Dan 10:20)
Question 2:
A common practice taught at Christian school's of supernatural ministry is to laugh at satan as a form of warfare during spiritual warfare and healing prayers.
What is wrong with this prayer practice?
