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—
What does it look like to contend for healing? How do you dig in and fight for a miracle where all other avenues, medical resources, and church pastoral care have been exhausted? How do we bring hope into hopelessness? What does the prayer life of a minister praying the impossible look like? Welcome to another fireside chat. Pour your favorite beverage, pull up a chair to the fire pit, break out the smores, and talk about praying for miracles in healing.

Mike is away on assignment and away from the M16 Research Center Library. So it's time for another fireside chat to discuss demons, spirits, and stuff! Some Q&A over common questions I get from my classes and meeting with ministers. We'll cover all sorts of spiritual stuff, demons, the Nephilim, and other things Mike's mind rabbit trails into. Pour your favorite beverage, break out the smores, sit outside by your bug zapper, and enjoy an evening of spiritual warfare edification. Let's get rolling on the fireside chat.
Demons - spirits of the Nephilim wiped out during the deluge in Genesis 6. (low-level demons) use deliverance prayer posture.
Satanic/fallen angels - wicked divine spiritual (Watchers) beings that rebelled against God (high level spirits out of our realm of authority). Use petitioning prayer posture - heavenly realms.

Well, that's a wrap for episode 74. I knew I should have tossed my Mac mini into the backpack with my old Macbook Air for this roadtrip. Editing on the old 1.8 GHz machine is doable but a chore. It chugs away on FCP and GarageBand. But we made it, and the podcast is up. I hope you enjoyed the fireside chat. The next episode is the big #75! Let's see where the Holy Spirit leads us!

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!

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?

Tales of Glory - Episode 41 - Dealing with Demonic Manifestations.
We dive back into my book, A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare. How do Christian ministers deal with demonic manifestations? What are the common forms of manifestations, and do we handle them? In dealing with spiritual warfare, you need to understand spiritual discernment. What is spiritual discernment, and do I need an anointing to sense spirits? Episode 41 covers lots of ground on this controversial aspect of ministry.
What do you need to know about distinguishing demons from fractured human parts? This episode discusses the criteria for determining manifestations from triggered dissociated parts.
We also discuss how to handle various types of demonic manifestations and what to do in ministry should you encounter these.
13 So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.
All the years I have been doing this ministry I have NEVER had to hold a person down to the ground or constrain them. When I talk about binding spirits, I bind them with prayer. This means the spirits are ordered not to move in the authority of Jesus Christ. In light of some horrible exorcisms I have read about in the news lately. There was a horrible fatality that happened near me last month in San Jose, Ca. A child died from a botched exorcism where the child was constrained and died. All spirits respond to the authority of Jesus Christ. You don't constrain people!

Returning from hiatus, AGAIN!!! Tales of Glory listeners, it's good to be back. I was focusing time on a writing project. It seems like every December that God has a writing project for me. Well, I came up for air and back in front of the mic. A friend of mine sent me a deliverance video from youtube. The youtube video was on a deliverance session involving children. It contains some good information on the does and don'ts of ministry. This one includes a lot of don'ts and is an excellent source for ministry edification.
For those of you who are listeners to the podcast, this commentary will show you the cases of dissociated identity disorder I speak a great deal on in my classes and broadcasts. Excellent training material here.

Already correcting myself, I fumbled the scripture of the lying spirits in the podcast as 2 Samuel. At time = 49:05 minutes.
Whoops.
1 Kings 22:19-22 (ESV)
19 And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left;
20 and the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another.
21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’
22 And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’

Tales of Glory returns with A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - Chapter 06 - Strongholds!!!
In this episode, we dive into Strongholds! What are they? How do they differ from the contemporary Christian literature deliverance perspective? Are strongholds our behaviors or demonic oppression? Are all people seeking deliverance ministry demoniacs as they claim? How do you discern those who are demonized from those who are dealing with their behaviors? Deliverance ministry can be tricky and deceptive. How do you identify dissociative identity disorder and trauma survivors? How is this ministry different from deliverance ministry? We cover these perplexing issues that surface in most ministry sessions involving strongholds.
Deliverance ministry and strongholds are not as straight forward as popular Christian authors tend to portray. They can be nasty, tangled, and complex to resolve. This episode covers the complex spiritual road to healing the whole spectrum of strongholds.

In this episode of Tales of Glory, Fireside Chat edition, we look at mystical experiences of locutions as they apply to discerning internal voices. Is a demonic voice always demonic? Can a dissociated identity (a part) take on the appearance of a demonic manifestation.
Pastors and counselors, what do you do when you think it is a demonic presence, but the demon won't leave? We cover some important topics in Christian inner healing and spiritual warfare.
How do you discern demons from dissociated human parts? Some good points on ministry are presented to help you become a more effective deliverance minister, inner healing minister, and Christian counselor.
