In the supernatural history of the book of Exodus, we are finally arriving at the Ten Commandments. In Exodus 20, Yahweh restates to His people, the Israelites, that He delivered them from the land of Egypt. Establishing Yahweh as the one true God and creator over the Egyptian gods - the territorial spirits. God presents His Ten Commandments to the Israelites, which are the foundations for God's relationship with His people. Yahweh instructs His people about the Sabbath and warns against constructing idles. We have more cosmic geography with Yahweh meeting Moses in Mount Sinai. Let's dive into Exodus 20!

Nakedness - don't shoot the messenger. Nakedness is an old Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.
For unto us, a child is born! What is the reason for the season? Why did Jesus leave his position in heaven to come to earth as man? Did Jesus come to earth as a man merely to fix the original sin, or was there much more? What role did Jesus play as the second Adam? In this episode, we dive into the birth of Jesus and the objective of the work on the cross. It's the Christmas edition of Tales of Glory!
28 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. 29 Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
Covers the three falls discussed in this podcast episode.
The Hardbound edition of the book is available here.

I hope you enjoyed the Mega Podcast Christmas Extravaganza edition of Tales of Glory. It was a timely fit and conclusion to Demonology 101-104. The series ends with the birth of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. God Bless and Merry Christmas! Rev. Mike
What does it look like to have Jesus walk us through spiritual warfare ministry? Does modern deliverance ministry teach us to rely on our efforts rather than trusting Jesus? Why does Matthew 25, The Parable of the Ten Virgins, correlate to ministering in spiritual warfare? In the Q&A section, we'll examine how to minister to children. We'll discuss the level of discernment required for determining if a child has a spiritual affliction. We'll also discuss when and where to use the spiritual warfare prayer postures. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 104 Q&A class is now in session.
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Were elemental water spirits partnering with Jesus walking on water?
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Paul's Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years! 11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.
Who did the Gerasene demoniac think Jesus was? What did Jesus demonstrate during exorcism that proved to the Second Temple Jews and early Church believers that He was God? What changed in exorcism between the events in the Torah and the Gospels? Were any exorcisms documented in the Torah? Why are the rites of Solomon useless, especially in this dispensation of the end times of the Church? Let's examine the supernatural ministry of Jesus Christ as He demonstrated who He is through miracles, signs, and wonders of expelling unclean spirits. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 103 class is now in session.
Please keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list of the prayers of liberation and exorcisms in the Bible. I used key verses to keep the episode within an hour length (but went over a little...)

Next time, we'll do a Q&A, so send me your questions in the comment section below or on the Facebook group page - A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. What are your questions about the material presented in Demonology 101-103?
Did you know three falls are documented in Genesis chapters 1-11? We've only been taught about one in Genesis 3. There are actually two more. When Jesus became incarnate and entered this world, He came to resolve cosmic-level sins that infected both the physical and spiritual realms. Who was the angel of the Lord in the Torah, and why did He possess the authority to forgive transgressions? Let's examine these three falls and continue hyperlinking the Torah into the Gospels and the Epistles of Paul. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 102 class is now in session.
Are demons fallen angels? It's what we've been taught. But is it true, or has the Western Church embraced Christian mythology? I tackle this challenging topic in episode 90 of Tales of Glory! Have you ever wondered why deliverance ministries define demons in Ephesians 6:12 of spirits in heavenly places? And yet we also teach that demons are earthbound? There are other problems regarding demons in the New Testament. Why did demons and demonic possessions suddenly appear in the New Testament? To unravel this mystery, let's dive into some scripture, dissertations, and Ancient Near East documents.
Colossians 1:15-17 - I accidentally said Galatians in the podcast. It was Colossians!
The Preeminence of Christ
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
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. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.
2 Peter 2:4 - angels in chains in the abyss - Watchers!
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;
Jude 6 - angels in chains in the abyss - Watchers!
6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—
In the supernatural history of the book of Exodus, we are finally in the wilderness of Sinai. In Exodus 18, Moses' father-in-law shows up with Moses' wife and sons. Jethro advises Moses on delegating legal advice to the hundreds of thousands of Israelites. In Exodus 19, we enter the cosmic geography of Mount Sinai. God instructs the people of Israel on how to prepare for the coming of His presence. Should the supernatural in Exodus be read allegorically or as a component of human history? Let's dive into Exodus chapters 18 and 19!
Thank you for stopping by! We'll see where the Holy Spirit takes us for episode 90! Will we dive into Exodus chapter 20 or have another Fireside chat? Only God knows!!
We're back into the supernatural and occult battles in Exodus. In episode 88, I present the Torah chapters of Exodus 16 and 17. In Exodus 16, YHWH feeds his people in the morning with manna from Heaven. We will encounter some ancient scribe commentaries on the Law. In Exodus 17, we tackle some concepts in cosmic geography presented in the Torah. The Israelites gravel over being thirsty and then battle giants in the region in the second half of the chapter—some exciting material covered in this episode.
Come up to speed on the demonology of the tribes of giants.

Welcome to Takes of Glory - Episode 87! Let's examine a crime scene where the case is convoluted with spiritual components. In this Fireside chat, Rev. Mike dives into deeply concerning topics in M16 Ministries cases. This topic I wanted to cover for some time, but I needed to fly under the radar. Cover your shoes, put on your gloves, and be careful as you step into this spiritual crime scene.
Welcome to Takes of Glory - Episode 86! Let's return to our exploration of the Book of Exodus and spiritual warfare. We're in Exodus 14 - where the Israelites cross the sea. Pharaoh and his hosts are in pursuit in their chariots. In this chapter, we witness the duality of the presence of the angel of the Lord and God during this battle with the Egyptians. God gives us an essential strategy tip in supernatural warfare. In the latter half of this podcast, I share two Holy Ghost stories from the vaults of the M16 files.
Welcome to Takes of Glory - Episode 85! Let's return to our exploration of the Book of Exodus and spiritual warfare. I dive back into Exodus in chapter 13, which includes three primary topics: consecration of the firstborn, the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, and the Angel of the Lord going before the Israelites as a pillar of smoke or a column of fire. I will also discuss a real-life case where demonic locutions used scripture to talk someone out of their salvation. The Apostle Paul cites the story of Pharoah's heart being hardened in Romans 9. Let's examine how demons used this scripture to deceive a Christian.

Welcome to Takes of Glory - Episode 84! House Blessing and Spiritual Disernment. In this episode, I cover house blessing 101 - the basics. How do you bless a house on your own? Where do you start, and what do you do? Once I walk you through a basic house blessing, we load the M16 family truckster and go on a virtual trip with Rev Mike to the haunted St. Augustine Old Jail. We're going on a field trip to learn about our spiritual discernment. That's right, we learn to bless a house and use our spiritual discernment. In this Tales of Glory Fireside Chat episode, bring your favorite beverage and pull up a chair next to the fire.
Kindred Spirits Discovery Plus link to Old Jail Investigation - I referenced this episode S4 E4 Dead Men Tell No Tales. I don't recommend paranormal shows. Its all necromancy. But interesting to view in contrast to my discernment walk through. This paranormal team was brought in to help. But what did they help with? Nothing. Only to put the spirits on display. And draw more paranormal people to this site. No buenos!
7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover.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.13 The
blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I
see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to
destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Great Commission commands us to go out and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How do we give prophetic words outside to the lost? In episode 83, I discuss minister etiquette in the first half when operating in prophetical evangelism events. In the second part, I cover spiritual warfare and setting up the intercession for the event. Do we come in peace or show up starting a bar fight with the familiar spirits? This information is invaluable to ministry teams considering going into venues unfriendly to Christian beliefs. Check-in for Extreme Prophetic ministry training!!!

The Tales of Glory podcast, episode 82, is the unauthorized and uncut episode on Jesus grieving during Mike's prayer walks. Is Jesus excited about what is happening in His mystical body, or is He grieving? Has the church become consumers of glory and experience over seeking His presence? Are we spending time with Jesus and listening to Him for ourselves, or are we outsourcing our communion to God? What does being in our secret place and contending for the impossible miracles look like? The fireside chat is now in session. Pull up your chair to the fire, open your favorite beverage, and enjoy the autumn evening with Jesus.
Here is the link to the podcast The Shift, S3 Ep 5, with Abby and Meagan I mentioned on this episode of Tales of Glory. Check them out. They had a lot of complementary discussions on this subject.
The T.W. story, mentioned in the podcast, starts around t=38:17. I encourage you to listen to the whole podcast! Enjoy!
I don't care to do this, but I point it out when I see it. This distorted approach is what I was discussing in this podcast. The New Apostolic Reform has precepts for healing prayer. Do this, check this box, and do this. So, I will leave this here. Look how this minister NEVER petitions Jesus for the healing or using their authority directly. They are running all over the place doing different prayer methodologies. This form of prayer is ritualistic. They're rituals. Not flowing with what the Holy Spirit is doing in the situation, and this is in no way conducive to contending for miracles in long-term healing battles. This ritualistic prayer declaration methodology is why Charismatics abandoned long-term prayer. It doesn't fit they're checkboxes and rituals.

Thank you for tuning in! I need to get busy on producing the last of the Carmelite Mystics training material.
In Tales of Glory podcast episode 81, we continue exploring the
beginning prayer life in Saint Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle Second
Mansions. What is Christian meditation? How do you use meditation to build a
deeper relationship with Jesus? I cover simple Christian meditation
tools Saint Teresa of Avila mentioned in her Second Mansions in the
Interior Castle. She said souls that are beginning to learn to pray
practice recollection and meditate on scripture. Check out episode 81 of
Tales of Glory as we learn how to meditate on scripture like Saint
Teresa of Avila.
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.40 But
Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and
said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?
Tell her then to help me.”41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
