New Podcast Episode out today: Do I Need Deliverance or Inner Healing? with Michael Norton 
What is the difference between deliverance and inner healing? How do we know if we have a demon or is it a behavioral issue? Michael is an ordained spiritual warfare minister, exorcist, spiritual director, and Christian counselor. He has experience in haunted houses, working with cult survivors, doing exorcisms and seeing angels and demons. While these things may seem like they are way out there in the spirit, Michael brings it down to the most important thing in his life: having conversations with Jesus. In this episode, you will learn the difference between being psychic and prophetic and what a “fear meter” with witchcraft is. Michael discusses what it means to be “slimed” and what you can do if that happens to you. You will learn how to know when something is demonic or behavioral. He shares that most of the time it isn’t a demon, and people in ministry and counseling often miss the diagnosis of the fractured self = Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Michael demystifies many things of the spirit and tells engaging and inspiring stories on the front lines of his powerful M16 ministry.

How False Prophetic Words Can Hurt Inner Healing

In this installment I discuss the ever increasing issue of unmentored church prophets delivering damaging words to those with dissociative identity disorder. I cover in detail this subject of prophetic ministry and why it shouldn't be used with DID in my book A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare. False Prophetic ministry is becoming increasingly disruptive in inner healing circles and actually denying survivors of severe trauma healing in their work. A false word is a damaging word with sometimes irreversible set backs. I present my case below...






Addendum:
This came out from the IHOPKC from Mike Bickle. I think this message was too soft. But it is timely. If you want to learn more about the prophetic and how it damages fractured souls, please get a copy of my book, An Advanced Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare.

When Possession Comes to Your Ministry Door Step

I thought this topic would make a great fireside chat on what to do when you receive a case of demonic possession. First and foremost, you must clearly understand the difference between inner healing and liberation prayer ministry. You must know the clear distinction between demonic oppression and demonic possession.In this installment, I give some suggestions on how to work begin working with a person that truly is demonically possessed. Your job as a Christian counselor and minister is to be the biggest skeptic on a persons claims they are possessed. You must treat the area as a crime scene and let the evidence tell the story and not the person involved in the crime. You are seeking the truth. Hope this information is helpful to you.

Praying for a Child that is Spiritually Afflicted

In this installment of A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare blog, we're going to examine the controversial and complicated subject of praying over spiritually afflicted children. Is a child suffering from being mute, palsy, or other debilitating maladies under the oppression of a demon? The great difficulty in cases involving children is that we want the root cause to be demonic oppression, so the child can be quickly healed. Many times, the issue is not demonic oppression, and the ministers involve failed to discern this.. The child is placed under a lot of trauma, more than they are already experiencing from the their illness alone, by ill-equipped, non discerning deliverance ministers.

So what is the process of discerning? What do you do and how do you pray if it is not demonic oppression? How rare is demonic possession? And how do you pray for children, regardless, in these delicate situations? I cover this topic in this AFG2SW blog entry. This is actually a video response to a good friend of mine, who is a very capable minister. She is trying to discern if the situation she is dealing with on hand is demonic in nature, or she needs to pray for healing.

Dissociative Identity Disorder and Connecting with God

Between working full time and ministering nearly full time in the evenings, it gets a bit crazy with my weekly schedule. Because I am so busy, I am only currently working with cases that fall under the M16 umbrella (at In the Potter's Hands counseling). That is, people who have nowhere else to turn, and their church doesn't have the resources to help them with the severity of their spiritual situation. In other words, all my cases are 911 spiritual emergency cases I am on. My ministry is very entrenched in spiritual warfare, and there are a lot of things I see at this level of warfare I like sharing with others in this ministry.

Today, I want to elaborate on a season the Holy Spirit has me in. A Holy Spirit season is a theme of ministry training you are lead into, and it is a repetitious theme you see in the cases you are working on at the current moment.  The season I am in now is the Connecting with God season.

I have multiple high-level cases involving severe demonic obsession,  ritual abuse survivors, and other forms of dissociative identity disorder involving demonic oppression.

The repeating theme that has surfaced in this time is that of individuals being unintentionally but badly hurt, from bad prophetic, deliverance, and Sozo ministry. Wow, did I just shove the stick in the hornet's nest? Well, don't be so religious just yet, here me out.

Because dissociative identity disorder involves a soul fractured into multiple identities (parts, or formerly personalities), a part in the D.I.D. system will seek help for healing. The part that seeks healing from Jesus, we call the Christian Host.

Now, what is difficult to the minister, is that a person may show up, and be D.I.D., but the minister isn't immediately aware of the individual's state of consciousness or being. D.I.D. souls. They don't usually disclose this information to the minister. Many times the Christian Host believes that a deliverance or Sozo prayer session will be a magic prayer bullet. This is never the case!!! Jesus doesn't heal internal trauma and pain at the snap of a finger. Jesus walks them out of this.

Now, how do you tell if the individual seeking prayer is D.I.D.? The individual will appear to be a bit odd or a bit off in the session. One telltale sign is that you're going in circles in the session. Spinning your wheels in the mud, so to speak.

I tend to recognize this as D.I.D., someone with a fractured soul. I have had to deal with too many counseling sessions, where non-discerning Sozo and deliverance ministries determined the fractured soul parts to be demons. When I am at this juncture of discerning, which I do at the beginning of every session with a new person seeking help, I have them connect with Jesus. I want to see what they're interior life is like. Eight times out of ten, I will encounter people who claim to be prophetic but can't connect with Jesus in their soul. Yes, figure that one out!

I will simply work with the soul before me and have them meditate on Psalm 46:10 and work with them to connect with the indwelling Jesus. The Charismatics always tell me they are having a fantastic vision with Jesus and angels. This is a soulish rendition from the D.I.D.-er to throw you off track. What I try to get them to do is simply sit on a park bench with Jesus in the place of their soul where they go everyday to meet him for prayer.

These individuals can't do this, and then they proceed to tell you how they can't meditate or read the Bible. This is not demonic! This is a fractured soul. When I encounter this, I do not proceed with any deliverance ministry. You need to change course in ministry and take them by the hand in baby steps. My recommendation is to find a ministry or counselor that understands D.I.D. Sozos and deliverance ministry will make them much worse!!!

In counseling, I work with the traumatized soul to connect with Jesus, it could take one session, or it could take a year. Why do I do this? If you have ever taken a martial arts, the first thing they teach you is your fighting stance! Equipping a fractured soul to connect with God is teaching them their fighting stance! They must learn to connect and speak with God to find out what is truth and what is lies from the enemy. A soul that can't connect with God is in a locked state of hopelessness. No matter how much of a deliverance show you put on, and that's all it will be at this juncture, the soul will never be set free. They must learn to fight their own way out and meet Jesus. D.I.D usually occurs from surviving severe traumatic experiences from childhood, such as emotional and sexual abuse, ritual abuse, abduction and slavery, and sex trafficking.

Not all D.I.D.-ers have an issue connecting with God. The ones that can I have worked with attribute this to having had very good youth pastors in their lives who helped them with their spiritual direction. So take note youth pastors, less bowling with frozen chickens and more emphasis on having the youth learning to connect with God.

And whatever you do, if you discover the soul before you is D.I.D., refrain from any and all forms of prophetic ministry!!! Don't care if the word is from a prophet on the Elijah list, no prophetic words to D.I.D.-ers. PERIOD! This will be the subject of another blog conversation I need to address. Again, more on this later.

Christian Duplicity and Practicing Yoga

It’s been about 4 years since I posted my blog on Dear Chrisitan – Yoga is Hinduism over on my ministry blog, m16ministries.bogspot.com. To date this blog on Christian participation in yoga has been the most controversial posts of either of my blog sites. Since I am focusing my fireside chats on Christian duplicity in the church, Yoga has got to be the number one deception that has slithered its way into the pews.

The previously mentioned blog, on M16 Minsitries is my repository, for collecting info on yoga. You can easily burn up some hours there on the research I collected on Yoga. Western society has embraced Yoga as a holisitc wellness practice. It is not a wellness practice it is a spiritual practice of Hinduism. Many yogis in India are outraged that the Western world has turned Yoga into a multi-billion dollar holistic and wellness industry. Stripping the spirituality of Hinduism from Yoga. But is the spirituality really stripped? I cited an article over in Dear Christian Yoga is Hinduism blog that a yogi explained the Hinduism can’t be separated from the practice of yoga. All postures in yoga are adorations for demonic spirits – Hindu gods.

Many Christians get suckered into the deception that the poses of yoga can be redeemed. Can demons be redeemed? Can their work be redeemed? If you answered yes to any of these questions you have no core foundation in the teachings of the Bible. Don’t be suckered into this deception. Since I already wrote a thorough dissertation on why Christian’s shouldn’t participate in yoga, I will share with you a case I was apart of which involved possession and yoga. This case will best show how Satan uses duplicity to deceive Christians who practice yoga.

Possession and the Kundalini Spirit
About 2 years ago, I was in a church on a Sunday morning. The pastor preaching invited the presence of the Holy Spirit to enter the church right after worship. A woman sitting in the church service started screaming and shaking. I didn’t hear her at first, but she progressively got louder in her shrills and soon became a disruptive spectacle in the service. This woman was a few rows a across from me and a couple of people sitting around her kept glaring over at me to come over and do something! I wasn’t a pastor in this church so I had to wait for the authority of the church to release me to minister. One of the pastors, who wasn’t preaching that day, and is a friend of mine, waved his arm at me to come over and minister. I calmly made my way over to the woman who was manifesting and I discerned it was some sort of witchcraft. I put my hand over her third eye and I QUIETLY ordered her third eye closed in the name of Jesus Christ. The screaming immediately stopped and the woman slowly stopped shaking. The pastor I was ministering with led the woman out of the sanctuary. Where we ministered to her in the prayer room.

In the prayer room some of the details began to unfold about this woman, whom we’ll call, Teresa. Teresa was a cancer survivor and her doctor at Stanford recommended she take up yoga for holistic purposes. Teresa liked yoga and fully embraced the life style. Teresa was raised in the Catholic church. She knew her prayers and she said she knew Jesus. However, Teresa went to India and studied under a yogi. While Teresa was India, she became possessed with a spirit of Kundalini. By possession, I mean possession. She invited the spirit into her. As the conversation unfolded and the depth of her involvement was revealed I decided it was time for an appointment to have Teresa work with me.

Some points I want to make clear here, most Christians who take yoga are oppressed by a Kundalini spirit and not possessed. This was a unique circumstance where Teresa literally invited the spirit of Kundalini into her at a Hindu temple. Does this answer your question if a Christian can have a demon or be possessed? God gave us free will. We can use our free will and live blessed or we can use our free will to do a lot of stupid things. Like, get ourselves possessed. Please don’t send me an e-mail on why a Christian can’t be possessed. I have encountered a lot of Christians oppressed and a couple possessed. It happens. We’re allowed to fall. It’s free will.

As I mentioned, Teresa, was a life long Christian, she was Latino, and she knew was raised Catholic. Keep this in mind, because I want you to see how the duplicity and Luciferan agenda started seeping in on Teresa’s spiritual beliefs.

When Teresa, myself, and the pastor’s wife, from the church service on Sunday, and I got together, we immediately focused on the yoga spirits. As I led Teresa, in prayer, she started saying these crazy things, like, the sanskrits, are older than the Gospel. And started doing this reverse apologetics, on why yoga was real, and Jesus was only some guy who lived 2 thousand years ago. My self, and the women with me, reminded Teresa, that Jesus has no time line, He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the un-created One and He existed before time. He created the demons who invented the sanskrits. This whole argument went in circles with the sanskrits. The duplicity twisted her beliefs in her mind that  the sanskrits were older than the New Testament -and, more specifically,  Jesus! This folks is duplicity and it is the demon running the interference.

I asked Teresa if we could pray for her, I wanted the demon to manifest again so the prayer team could expel it. Teresa went into this completely fake prayer ecstasy thing. Where she looked like she was filled with joy. I, on the other hand, smelled smoke, like something was burning. I asked Teresa if she smelled it and she said no she could feel the Holy Spirit. The smell of the smoke got worse with me. I knew the Kundalini spirit was manifesting as a fake Holy Spirit.

I asked Teresa if I could ask the True Holy Spirit to increase His presence in our office. She said no. Anymore, and her legs would fly open and she would urinate on herself. I asked her if that happened often. She said, yes, every time she prays and the Holy Spirit comes. She said He comes so powerful that she needs to run to the bathroom before her legs spread and she forcefully urinates. I told Teresa, that her experience is not that of the Holy Spirit. She became offended and angry at me. At that point there was really nothing more I could do for Teresa unless she wanted to deal with the truth. Teresa didn’t want to give up her spirit of Kundalini.

She even told us that when the spirit entered her in India, when her Kundalini was activated, her legs flew open and she urinated on herself. What we have in this situation is a demonic possession.

Since Teresa was Catholic, and I am pretty much Assembly of God, I notified my Roman Catholic Exocrcist friend, Fr Gary Thomas, and a Roman Catholic Deliverance minister friend, Moira Noonan. But wanted Teresa to contact them immediately by she never did. Teresa later contacted me with a follow up e-mail and a link to an article on how it’s ok for Catholics to practice yoga. Which is a lie, Fr. Gary Thomas, and Moira Noonan, know full well the Luciferan agenda in yoga. Teresa is a Christian trapped in duplicitous thinking. Which led to her being possessed. She took the forbidden fruit from the tree just as the serpent had asked her too.

I have many other cases involving yoga. I have seen crazy things with yoga, like a person levitate. This happened while I was on a Christian covert outreach. We had an undercover ministry tent. A young yogi liked the peaceful Holy Spirit atmosphere and came in and laid down at my feet where I sat. His head was right at my feet. In seconds, his eyes rolled in the back of his head. I could only see the whites of his eyes. Then his body went limp, like a rag doll.  The yogi’s butt stayed planted on the ground, from shoulders up he began to float up off the ground with his arms dangling down like he was dead or unconscious. I bound that demon right away and his body fell back to the ground.

I am going to share with you my personal response on yoga and stretching. Whenever I share this about yoga I always get someone in my face about stretching muscles. What if I just want to stretch my muscles? What you can't stretch your muscles without yoga? I am a 50+ old school power lifter. I stretch muscle groups before and after training sessions. I don't use yoga. I use physiology. I am not telling you can't do yoga. As for me I'll never go near it. And for our friend in this story, it's been several years and to this date I believe she still runs to the bathroom to pray.


Next fireside chat I will continue to poke the stick in the hornet's nest as I discuss Christian duplicity who are involved in paranormal investigations.

Blessings

Spiritual Warfare and Inner Healing from Severe Trauma

On Friday February 13, 2015 I had the honor and privilege to speak at a Women's Aglo meeting. I was invited to come speak on M16 Ministries and spiritual warfare. Usually, when I am invited to speak, I generally talk about relevant topics of cases the ministry is involved in. For this talk, I spoke on spiritual warfare and inner healing from severe trauma. Many deliverance ministries and churches don't understand the connection between deliverance and inner healing. Many believe a spirit will be evicted and everything in the oppressed person's life will fall into place. In this talk, I was allowed to focus on what my ministry is currently doing in spiritual freedom and working with Christian women coming out life long severe trauma - Dissociative Identity Disorder. And what this road to healing looks like and how long it can take.

Here is the audio,
