The Way of the Warrior - the Holy Spirit and His Presence

Here is the start of a new series I felt on my heart to discuss. The subject matter in this series I call "The Way of the Warrior". Looking back on my experience I hit a lot of strnage snags in ministry where M16 Ministries should not have existed at all. Even attacks on my health. What is it that keeps me in the battle? What keeps me going in very long battles when I become weary? How do I find strong during intense battles?
I begin the discussion here in what I know will break out into numerous discussions on Tales of Glory. The Way of the Warrior. What does the spirit look like that was raised up by the Holy Spirit. How do we find training for the impossible tasks at hand? How do we commune with God and bring His presence permenantly into our reality? What is real and what is contrary to popular Christian media on the subject matter of spiritual warfare warriors. Pull a chair up to the fire, I invite to site back and be entertained by the the first in the series of The Way of the Warrior!

Christian Spiritual Authority Over Low-Level Demonic Spirits - Part II

Can the average lay Christian expel a demon? Where are instructions found in the Bible to cast out evil spirits? Are there limitations to our spiritual authority with demonic spirits? Do you have to be a Christian to cast out spirits?

M16 Ministries was founded in 2009 as 501c3. During this time God has brought numerous and crazy battles to the ministry door step. From the get go, God hurled me into a Mark 9:29 type of ministry. As a street minister working with the drug addicts, homeless, and prostitutes,on the streets of San Francisco with Night Strike ministry, I have seen a lot of the occult and the supernatural. Some stuff so freaky, I literally had some street ministers never return to Night Strike. 

During this time I have met a lot of severely demonic afflicted souls, fractured souls, and survivors of the occult. In my years, I moved away from calling myself a deliverance minister and am now simply a minister of God. Why? For one, it's what we're supposed to do, according to Luke 10 (see the training). Second, in my 10 years I have watched deliverance ministry turn into a Vegas side show run by prideful ministers. This isn't the deliverance ministry Jesus gave us, its a circus version that proliferates bad teaching. Some deliverance ministries have even become doctrinal, which in itself again is something very bad. Many ministries are not even grounded Biblically anymore in their teachings or practices. For instance, where in the Bible does it instruct people to cough out a demon? When I work with individuals who have issues other than demons (i.e. behavioral), they insist their issue is demonic and proceed to do the cough in front of me to prove their issue is demonic. These are poor souls who have been conditioned by Vegas deliverance ministries. Let's take a look at the Biblical approach to casting out demons. In Part II, or this 3 part teaching, I go through the scripture to demonstrate how Jesus instructed us to expel low-level demons - deliverance ministry!

Christian Spiritual Authority and Dominion - Part I

Several years back, M16 Ministries used to go New Age expos and do prophetic ministry with the New Agers attending. One particular woman I worked with sat down and I prayed to God for what God would like to share with her. 

God told me that she was having a horrible situation at home with her spirit guide. She was at first mortified that I knew about the spirit at home, and second that it was her 'friendly spirit guide' behind all the spiritual activity in her house. We're usually covert at these expos, but I leaned into the woman and told her, "There is power in the name of Jesus, go home and renounce your spirit guide and tell it to leave in the name of Jesus!" She was dumbfounded and responded. "You're a Christian?" This revelation allowed me to share who Jesus is with her.  I never saw her again, and I know at that time that was the piece of information she needed to here from a covert evangelist, that Jesus is real. Which probably allowed her to open up and seek conversations about Jesus.

Now, two things here. One, there is power in the name of Jesus, second, when Jesus completed the work on the cross, He restored dominion and authority to all mankind. The dominion we have is over the earth. God created us to co-rule with Him. 

Jesus gave mankind spiritual dominion over the earth when He created us. 
In this installment of A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare the Blog, we look at the Christian dominion God gave us. And we look out how our dominion ties in with our spiritual authority. This topic can be exhaustive and like a PhD dissertation. I kept it to the bullet points. I originally intended to outline both our spiritual authority terrestrially and in the heavenly realms, but in the end, because of the amount of information I am breaking these up. This is the first installation of a two part series on Christian Dominion and Authority. In part 1 I will outline our boundaries of our spiritual authority within our God given dominion.
