Deliver US from Deliverance Ministry Influencers - TOG Ep 167

The body of Christ seems to be undergoing a housecleaning. As we talked about for some time here on Tales of Glory, the chopping block for the Instagram deliverance minister was inevitable. It has caused considerable division in the church body. What should the follower of Jesus be focused on when it comes to deliverance? Is it really important that Christians chase to expel demons? Or is there something of far greater importance we are missing here? Join us in this August 2026 back-to-school edition, of Tales of Glory. Pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage - school is back in session!

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! Highly recommended for the Tales of Glory audience!

A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALM was written by Michael Norton while he was a street minister on San Francisco's Night Strike Homeless ministry under Bob Johnson. Michael documents what he experienced and how the Holy Spirit trained him to move in the Holy Spirit's empowerment during spiritual encounters. This book is a must-read for anyone serious about entering into spiritual warfare ministry. This book has been used as training material for spiritual warfare for Teen Challenge and Cleansing Streams.

Back cover information on A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare.

A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - Deliverance, Exorcism, and the Healing Effects of Ritual Abuse was written by Michael in 2017, seven years after his first manuscript, A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. This book delves deeper into the question of the difference between deliverance and exorcism. Michael reveals information on identifying and working with Satanic Ritual Abuse and his work with numerous survivors. Another powerful book to pick up for spiritual warfare training and counselors wanting to know about handling these darker cases of fracturing and demonic possession.
