In episode 115 of Tales of Glory, we dive into Chapter 12, Soul Ties, in my book A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare—The POWER to pull the IMPOSSIBLE from the Heavenly Realm.

Jesus Trains Us in Our Spiritual Warfare Dreams - AFG2SW - Chapter 09 - TOG EP 111

Does Jesus use dreams and nightmares to equip spiritual warfare warriors? What does this training look like? Why do these dreams look and feel extremely real on rare occasions? Like they're not a dream! In episode 111 of Tales of Glory, we dive into spiritual warfare dreams, nightmares, and things that go bump in the night! What is a sixth mansion flight of the spirit, and does it happen in dreams? What does it mean to be accessed in a dream? Is it real? What does it look and feel like when the Holy Spirit is present in these warfare dreams? Does the Holy Spirit put warriors in a spirit realm as they're asleep? And we dive into a Q &A session with a listener who has spiritual warfare questions regarding this intense spiritual topic! Join us as we continue with the "A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare" workshop and dive into chapter 9!

Curse Breaking Defiled Objects - AFG2SW - Chapter 06 - Hauntings - Part 3 -TOG EP 106

Tales of Glory Episode 106, we're curse-breaking defiled objects. What happens when you find a defiled object during a haunting or house blessing walk-through? What does it mean for an object to be spiritually defiled? Can a spiritually defiled object be redeemed through curse-breaking? What happens when the object can't be redeemed or neutralized through prayer? What are items and objects a Christian should never let into their home? Why is Leviticus 19:31 still as important today in the dispensation of the end-times church? We'll cover this and much more in this workshop session on A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, Chapter 06, Hauntings, Part 3. Episode 106 concludes the 3 part session on cases involving hauntings.

AFG2SW - Chapter 06 - Part 2 - Hauntings - Jesus Evicting Demonic Spirits -TOG EP 104

 Tales of Glory episode 104, we are back into the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare workshop. Diving into chapter 6, Hauntings - Jesus Evicting Demonic Spirits - Part 2, this workshop training will focus on the Christian approach to hauntings and evicting spirits. I will cover some controversial topics in supernatural ministry regarding learning, training, and using the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What do we do when we finally get on site for a haunting? What is a discernment walk, and how do we do it in a home with spiritual activity? What is spiritual discernment, and how does this work? What are defiled objects, and why do ministers need to be aware of them when walking around the location? How should ministers take control of the ministry session to avoid chaos from spirits and clients ignorantly trying to help in ministry? What is involved with blessing a home? And we'll do some listener Q&A! We'll cover these topics in episode 104 of Tales of Glory as we workshop my book, A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare -Chapter 06 - Part DEUX!

AFG2SW - Chapter 04 - Mark 9:29 - Can Only be Driven Out by Prayer - Exorcism - TOG EP 101

Tales of Glory episode 101, we are back into the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare workshop. Diving into chapter 4, Mark 9:29, prayer petitioning ministry, more commonly referred to as exorcism. I cover lots of ground today in what Mark 9:29 ministry looks like from my ministry perspective since 2005. What is the difference between Roman Catholic exorcism and Mark 9:29 petitioning prayer ministry? Why use one over the other? What does this ministry look like? Who should be involved in this ministry? Lots of information about battling the supernatural in this episode!!

Show Notes

Scripture used in episode 101.

Mark 9:25-29  This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.

25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”

 Why Christians ARE not permitted to Ghost Hunt!!!!

Leviticus 19:31

31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.

 

Leviticus 20:22-27

You Shall Be Holy

22 You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out. 23 And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them. 24 But I have said to you, ‘You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples. 25 You shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean. 26 You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.

27 A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

 Note: we don't put necromancers or mediums to death that was old covenant. The key walk-away is that these actions are forever detestable to God. There is no redeeming medium-ship through the grace of Jesus Christ. Christians are not allowed to communicate with the dead.

 

Ezekiel 1:3. Feeling the presence of God. 6th Mansions intellectual vision.

The Hand of God
3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.


Matthew 12:43-45 Return of an Unclean Spirit  Regarding casting out demons out of an unsaved soul.


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.
45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”


Ecclesiastes 12:6      Regarding astral projection.

6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

AFG2SW - Chapter 03 - Spiritual Authority in Jesus Christ - TOG EP 99

In Tales of Glory Episode 99, we dive into A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, Chapter 03. What is spiritual authority, and why do we have it? How is the Great Commission tethered to our spiritual authority? We will examine what was unique about Jesus taking authority over unclean spirits in Mark 1. How is spiritual authority in Jesus tied to casting out unclean spirits, healing the sick, and raising the dead? If we have spiritual authority, why do we need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit? How do we use the charismas recorded by Apostle Paul in spiritual warfare? We look at these exciting topics in episode 99 of Tales of Glory!

In Tales of Glory Episode 98, we dive into A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, Chapter 02 - Part DEUX. We are in the second part of a two-part episode and go through Chapter 2 of A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. I will present the material in Genesis 1-3 from the perspective of theology and research 14 years after I wrote the book. I will also present the case for the three falls in the book of Genesis. We are very familiar with the one in Genesis 3. But there are two more, and these events define the angelology and demonology in the Septuagint and the Hebrew texts.

Addendum to Show Notes:  04/29/2024

Joel Kline provided some excellent feedback to this episode. I believe Joel was commenting on Genesis 3:8. 

8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Great info!

I have a copy of Kingdom Prologue. These are excellent references cited by Joel.

Thank you, Joel!

 There are two published sources, Kingdom Prologue (1993/ 2000 2nd print edition) and Images of the Spirit (1980), books from Meredith G Kline that go into depth on his studies of Gen 3:8-13.  There is about 10 pages in chapter 4 of Images of the Spirit that take a deeper dive into the broader context of this judgement seen in Eden.  I'll scan and email you these pages from the Images of the Spirit book, but for those interested in a shorter synopsis, I'll write out a portion from Kingdom Prologue here in this comment from Chapter 5, Section 2 "Judgement Day which can be found on pages 128-129 of the 2000 print edition. ::  

Chapter 5 part 2 "Judgement Day
"God had brought Satan to the judgement tree to be damned.  To man had been assigned the awesome role of standing at God's viceregent at the place of judgement and consigning the great adversary to perdition.  Man, however, had utterly failed in his messianic mission.  He had declared good to be evil and evil to be good.  He had broken his covenant with God and made league with the devil.  But 'be not deceived; God is not mocked; and whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting' (Galations 6:7,8) ((this was obviously the passage Jesus read to the former african witch doctor in his dream that you've shared about before))  The Lord God therefore came to the place of judgement in Eden to enter into a covenant lawsuit with his offending vassals.  Moreover, Satan was not to escape through man's malfeasance.  It was also the purpose of the Lord's judicial appearance that he should himself pronounce the devil's doom".  

"Another factor, all important, affected the particular character of the judicial sentences imposed on both man and Satan.  According to the principle of justice expressed in the creational covenant the rebellious human vassals might have been consigned then and there to God's eternal wrath along with the devil.  But the Metapolis mission (the great commission) was not to be aborted before human history had scarcely started.  In eternal covenant with the Son, the Father in heaven had decreed that a new mankind should be redeemed out of fallen mankind and emerge at the consummation of redemptive history as God's holy temple, New Jerusalem.  To make room for this history of redemption, this execution of final judgement against men and demons must be postponed until a later hour.  God's judgement on the covenant-breakers in Eden did not, therefore, assume the form of a final total curse, nor did his condemnation of Satan have the effect of casting him at once into the lake of fire prepared for him and his angels".

A. Parousia of the Glory-Spirit

1. The Spirit of the Day
"Adapting the mode of his self-revelation to the judicial purpose of his coming the Lord approached the judgement site in the awesome glory of his theophanic Presence.  So he ever comes on the day of judgement, the day of the Lord, the day of the covenant servants' accounting before the Face of the Lord.  It is that kind of fearful advent that is reported in Genesis 3:8

"The key phrase describing God's approach through the garden, traditionally translated 'in the cool of the day,' should be rendered (instead) 'as the Spirit of the day.'  "Spirit" here denotes the theophanic Glory, as it does in Genesis 1:2 and elsewhere in Scripture.  And "the day" has the connotation it often has in the prophets' forecasts of the great coming judgement (cf also Judges 11:27 and 1 Cor 4:3).  Here in Genesis 3:8 is the original day of the Lord which served as the prototypal mold in which subsequent pictures of other days of the Lord were cast.  Such a day is one of divine epiphany.  The final day is preeminently the day of our Lord's parousia, the day of his presence as the personal revelation of the Glory with the clouds and angels of heaven.  Significantly, "panim", face or presence, one of the biblical designations of the Glory-Spirit, is referred to in Genesis 3:8, and accordingly what is depicted there is nothing less than the primal parousia.  On the original day of the Lord in Eden, God's parousia-advent was in the theophanic mode of "the Spirit (Presence) of the day (of judgement)".

"Trumpeting the advent of the divine Presence -- at Sinai, at Pentecost, at the parousia of Jesus, at every day of the Lord -- is the fearful sound of the voice of the Lord, the thunderclap of the approaching theophanic storm-chariot.  It was by precisely this arresting signal that the primal parousia was heralded.  Alarmed by this sound of God's coming (v 8a), the man and his wife sought escape (of all places) in the area of the judgement tree (v 8b).

Exodus 20 - The Ten Commandments - TOG EP 95

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!

Jesus and Christology Q&A - Demonology 104 - TOG EP 93

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.

Christology and the Parable of the Ten Virgins

 

The Parable of the Ten Virgins - Matthew 25:1-13

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? 

Jesus Walks on Water - John 6:16-21

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.

Matthew 14:22-33 , Mark 6:45-52


Elemental spirits - ambiguity

We don't really know what the early Christians and Second Temple Hebrews were referencing. 


Sons and Heirs - Galatians 4:1-11

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.

Jesus and Exorcism in the Torah and the Gospels - Demonology 103 - TOG EP 92


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.

Jesus The Watchers and Territorial Spirits - Demonology 102 - TOG EP 91

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? - Demonology 101 - TOG EP 90

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.
 

Ephesians 6:12-13

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.

 

Mark 1:21-28

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit

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.

Matthew 12:43-44

Return of an Unclean Spirit

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—
