Locutions - Sixth Mansions Chapter 3 part 1 – The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila – Going Deeper in Prayer - TOG EP 147

 We're exploring the Interior Castle, Sixth Mansions Chapter 3, in part 1 of this two-part podcast on locutions. Locutions means "to speak". God speaks to us in many ways. How do we know what is being spoken to us by God, or soul making up fantasies, or the devil? Saint Teresa instructs us on these supernatural experiences from her classic manuscript on prayer.

Cosmology and Demonology in Genesis 1-11: The Serpent, Divine Council, and Regional Spirits


I frequently discuss why we shouldn’t go outside our domain of authority and talk to angels, or try to put ourselves in the throne room of heaven. Do you know why? The modern church's view of angelology and demonology is wrong. It is not what Elijah, Ezekiel, and the saints believed. Where did the Apostle Paul get his language and context from Ephesians 6:12? It is not a choir of angels. They’re not even angels. An angel is specifically a messenger sent by God for a task. These bad guys in Ephesians 6:12 are divine spiritual beings - not messengers.  Did you know that demons are not fallen angels? Get the book!

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!
