A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - RELEASED!!!!

It's been over seven years since I completed the first book, A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. I never really knew how I would follow up with another manuscript for that project. Nor did I know then the path God would set me on in spiritual warfare ministry. Last summer, as I was working on another book for the Field Guide Training Series, on learning to pray, then suddenly, God had started me writing a new book on the topic of spiritual warfare. Ironically, He had me pull out old training material from a class M16 Ministries taught in 2008, called Frontline to Spiritual Warfare.

This class was the basis for A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, published in 2010. The Holy Spirit was tugging at me strongly, in the middle of another writing project to revisit this material.  I didn't understand why there was this strong desire; the first book covered it. I loaded up the course in Microsoft word and started looking at it. I took the course table of contents, and the Holy Spirit urged me to construct an outline from the original TOC.

Over a period of a few nights, the original TOC dissolved into an entirely new outline. The ministry had significantly evolved from the early years. And what began to emerge in the Microsoft Word editor was not A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare 2.0. A new training guide emerged on how M16 Ministries was no longer working deliverance cases but instead was involved in discerning cases of damaged souls, that need counseling, fractured souls with multiple personalities, and horrible childhood trauma associated with them, or whether it was diabolic oppression or even possession.

M16 Ministries was now involved in long term cases with the occult, and at the same time discerning botched deliverance ministry survivors and poorly equipped ministers. The ministry was now primarily  dealing with childhood survivors of secret society rituals, such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati.

The new manuscript lined up to be nothing like its predecessor, and in fact, carries a different tone in writing.  If you are a pastor or a counselor involved in dark spiritual warfare cases, I strongly encourage you to pick up the new M16 Ministries: A Field Guide Training Series book, A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare. Note, this is not a self-help prayer guide. This is for the ministers and counselors, on the front lines of dark warfare,working with survivors and afflicted souls.

Book Description:

Are you a counselor or a pastor with a spiritual warfare case that has you baffled? You are not alone!
Somewhere in your soul liberating ministry you will run into a case like Mark 9:29, where “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.” When you have arrived at this juncture in ministry, how do you know you are casting out a demon, or you are dealing with a fractured human soul? Do you know the difference between demonic deliverance ministry and exorcism? When should counseling be used?

A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - Deliverance, Exorcism, Healing the Effects of Ritual Abuse comprehensively describes biblical approaches to victory for your intense battles with the forces of darkness. Learn how to stand in your victory against those evil spirits that are only expelled through prayer. Covered in this book:

•    the scriptural differences between deliverance ministry and exorcism;

Paranormal Exorcist and Seal of Solomon

It seems like paranormal television shows never cease to deliver this season. Again, watching the Scooby gang on Ghosts of Shepherdstown, season 2, episode 8, titled "What an Excellent Day for an Exorcism,"  the viewing audience was treated to another paranormal demonic expulsion. The minister Nick Groff and the gang brought in was introduced as an ordained Catholic minister and exorcist. Again, listen carefully to scripting in these paranormal shows, there are always red flags. Here I want you to pay attention to the guest ordained Catholic minister and exorcist. An ordained minister is a layman minister and not clergy. Catholics don't allow laymen to be an exorcist. The office of exorcism is for clergy only and the assignment is handed down by a Cardinal or someone high up. A Catholic layman can be a deliverance minister but not an exorcist!

The plot thickens as the episode unfolds, where Nick brought in this "exorcist" to expel a demon (by the way this is never singular, demons travel with buddies) from the Ye Old Myst Tea House in Shepherdstown. The exorcist enters with the black clergy looking outfit, no collar (not clergy) and is wearing a cross around his neck. So far, okay. No big deal. The minister is led into the tea shop which is a war zone with debris scattered all over by the floor. I am curious what this exorcist is going to do since he was is forbidden to use the Rite of Exorcism (he wasn't approved by the Catholic church). I was pontificating that perhaps the audience was going to see a deliverance ministry session since by Catholic faith he couldn't use the Rite. I am also curious as to why the show didn't reach out to the Catholic diocese for a real exorcist in the first place! Credibility for this show is not a high point with
 me.

The exorcist prepares for battle by drawing in chalk on the floor, the star of David and enclosing it in a circle.

Record scratch!

Wait a minute. What? This resembled a ritual pentagram drawn in chalk, but it was the star of David.  This symbol is the seal of Solomon, a secret society occult symbol.  Its called a hexagram and is used in witchcraft and Freemason rituals. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a Catholic minister?? Baffled? Why would a Catholic minister use the occult to protect him from demons? Then this minister proceeds with a ritual in Hebrew that calls Yahweh and Y'shua (Jesus). No Catholic liturgies or anything. No I am intrigued as to what the heck I am watching. It's not Christian that's for sure!

The minister then rubber stamps the seal of Solomon on the Scooby gang. Which now includes the show psychic. Any Christian spiritual warfare minister worth their grain of salt (no pun intended) would ever bring a psychic to demon fight. Another red flag! This is the occult folks!!!

Then there is the dramatic moment in the show, with the minister shouting, "I command you in the name of Yahweh God, to bring yourself into the seal of Solomon." Again? What?? This isn't Old or New Testament spiritual warfare. This is New Age Jewish mysticism. A true Christian minister would have bound the spirits in the name of Jesus Christ (if these were low-level demons). In the case of what the show portrayed, they needed a real exorcist. Demons are expelled from a different prayer posture. What ensues next is the Scooby gang gets thrown a good ol fashion Sons Scheva beat down. The demon doesn't even go full force, it freaks them out with false fevers, nausea, and onslaught of the single tiny spider.

During this spiritual battle the "exorcist" never relied on his faith to expel the demon. He was stirctly adhering to occult formulas. Which any Christian deliverance minister knows is in effective against demons. Again, refer to the book of Acts and the Sons of Scheva who were thrown a beating by demons they were trying to expel. What do demons fear? Demons fear a person of faith because they have the spiritual depth and relationship with the reality of Jesus Christ to expel dark spirits. A powerful minister is a person whose soul is in a transforming union with Jesus Christ. A strong soul in Christ is kryptonite to demons and they won't follow these kinds of souls home!

Now back to wackiness at the tea shop. The minister has the Scooby gang renounce all ceremonies of satan. What did this guy just perfom? The seal of Solomon is the occult! Yes, this presentation of spiritual warfare was an atrocity. I am curious where this individual is ordained and which Catholic parish allows this minister to operate in this manner. It's not Christian, it's New Age. I am guessing he must be a universalist minister. But then again, what should I expect from a paranormal show.

Wasn't Shepherdstown cleansed by the psychic minister previously? If I remember correctly from season one, didn't the show psychic break the curse over Shepherdstown. Oh, yah. We're not supposed to be paying attention. The show concluded with everyone happy and that the site was cleansed. This is exactly the scene from the Poltergeist movie, "This house is clean!'. It's not, no one in the cleansing party was there with the faith to expel these demons. They demons went out for re-enforcements! I guess that's what we'll see in season 3.

Sidebar, I had to Google this exorcist to find out what exactly his background was in ministry. He has ties to the Old Catholic Church. Which is not Catholic, but in short an abomination to the Catholic Church. The paranormal field is so twisted in spirituality it always gravitates to the Old Catholic Church for help. From the home web page this exorcist also has ties to the Dominion Ministry, which is pagan spiritual warfare.

In closing, if you're Christian and thinking you're an exorcist or a deliverance minister for the paranormal, you need to go pray and re-think your position in the greater plan of things. People viewing these shows and replicating these occult practices will get hurt. I can guarantee your lives will be destroyed. This is something you don't mess with at all! That's why the Catholics don't let layman be exorcists. A spiritual attachment is something you never want on you or your home. Those of us who have been brought into a spiritual fight by God DON'T live in oppression like these ghost hunters do. Go look on youtube and see for yourself the spirits that torment all these paranormal celebrities. These things are real and they bite back.

Well, that's enough for now. Hope this was beneficial.

A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the Power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALMS

The Spirituality of Paranormal Show Psychics

I've been watching Nick Groff's television show on Destination America, called the Ghosts of Shepherdstown. These ghost hunting shows are interesting because of the spirituality embedded in these shows. Have you ever watched these shows and see someone spout something Christian, but their lifestyle and spiritual choices aren't that of a follower of Jesus Christ? If you know what you're watching these shows are fascinating labs into examining the spiritist belief systems that drive these paranormal investigators. Zac Bagans of Ghost Adventures fame has mentioned many times on his show that he believes in a god. But which god? The words Jesus Christ never seem to roll off from his lips. The Tennessee Wraith Chasers hit the reality-paranormal scene as Christian ghost hunters, again, an oxymoron, if you understood the difference between Christianity and spiritism. In their new show, they seemed to have dropped the opening prayer at the start of the show. So what is going on here? Why is this an oxymoron?

Let's take a look at the belief system of a paranormal show psychic. What do they believe? I want to focus on the psychics who have mentioned some degree of faith in God on these shows. But the actions of dealing with spirits don't line up with what they espouse to believe in. You can learn a lot of by listening to these people and then trying to figure out what their spiritual beliefs are.

First of all, can a Christian be psychic? What does the Word of God say about this?

31 ‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
-Leviticus 19:31

God tells us not to seek out a psychic or to communicate with the dead. This is pretty cut and dry. We're not to communicate with the dead nor be a psychic (and ghost hunting for that matter).

10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will drive them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. 14 For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.
-Deuteronomy 18:10-14

The Mosaic Law states that the spiritist and the medium are detestable to the Lord. This is pretty simple and straight forward. God identifies spiritism as witchcraft. We are not to speak to the dead or participate in any form of spiritism. King Saul's transgression against the Lord was seeking a medium to contact Samuel, who was dead in Hades.

13 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,
-1 Chronicle 10:13

The paranormal show psychics I have researched who use the name of the triune God have an interesting and alternative Gospel theology. According to their beliefs, the psychic abilities are covered under the New Testament as gifts of spiritual discernment,

7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
-1 Corinthians 12:7-11

Paul's epistle to the Corinthians on gifts of the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with psychic abilities. The deception comes in to play at verse 11, with discernment of spirits. This has nothing to do with seeing or talking to dead people. Why would the Holy Spirit empower you with a gift that is an abomination and goes against His moral values? It's because God didn't give the psychic the gift to see the dead. It was a spiritual gift that the psychic allowed to be hi-jacked through their spiritual belief system. In the book of Acts, Paul casts out a pythonic demon out of a psychic fortune teller. I want you to connect the dots that psychic abilities are not covered or condoned under the Christ-centric belief system of the Holy Bible. Where do these beliefs come from? It's called universalism. A spiritual belief system where Buddha, Jesus, spiritism, mother earth, voodoo, shamanism, you name it, are all the same. Equal playing field. This is not Christianity, but this is the foundation of the system of beliefs with popular reality show paranormal investigators.

Keep in mind, that the Christian faith revolves around the first commandment.

37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment.

-Matthew 22:37-38

Remember, the Christian God, our one True God, is a jealous God.

14 —for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God
-Exodus 34:14

These are not the signs of soul that is an transforming union with God.

Therefore, universalism and Christianity mix like oil and water. A psychic can't be calling on powers of other gods (lower case elohim - demons) if they call on the Ancient of Times, I AM, the God Almighty, Jesus Christ Lord of lords, King of kings. It just doesn't align! Something to consider when watching these shows. Consider the big question, who or what is responding when the occult calls out to God?

A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the Power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALMS

The Paranormal and the False Trinity

Paranormal reality shows are the biggest money makers for network television. They're cheap to produce, and fans flock to them by the droves. They're guaranteed income for networks that air these shows. As spiritual warfare minister, I watch these shows to see what society accepts as spiritual warfare versus what every Christian should know.

Some of the shows out this summer include The Ghosts of Shepherdstown, with Nick Groff, of Ghost Adventures fame, and the new comer paranormal show, The Lowe Files, which is a small, ineffective rip off of Destination Truth, featuring Rob Lowe, and his two grown sons.

I arm chair quarterback these shows to see what is all the rage in paranormal investigations. One of the new trends is for the psychics on these shows to portray biblical knowledge of spiritual warfare in one scene, and then immediately in the next scene, call on the occult to engage the demonic. In both, The Ghosts of Shepherdstown, and The Lowe Files, psychics were on hand who called upon the Holy Trinity for protection. Yes, a psychic, in Ghosts of Shepherdstown, and a shaman, in The Lowe Files, called on the Holy Trinity to protect them. What is going on here? Why is the Holy Trinity called to push back on the demonic presence, but not used to expel the demons at the site?

Examples from recent shows:
The Ghosts of Shepherdstown - S02E03 Whatever You Do, Don't Fall Asleep
Psychic - "If you're not of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, you're not welcome here.


The psychic in this show that calls on the Holy Trinity, doesn't call on the true God for banishing but resorts to using black salt.

The Lowe Files - S01E01 - Preston Castle
This is a scene where the shaman and the Lowe's go outside for healing the land. The shaman starts doing a native American ritual and the spirit box requests Bible. The shaman laughs, like it's an absurd request, and starts a Christian (new age) healing of the land.

Shaman - Bible? (chuckles)  wants a Christian healing...

Rob Lowe - Wants a Christian healing...

Shaman - the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, ... come here today to pray for these souls. Want them to be cleaned, cleansed, redeemed, forgiven, healed, and allowed to move on. The next world, as free souls. Come with your light in the name of Jesus, in the name of the angels, rest in peace. Once and for all. Amen.


Christians who don't understand the occult would be deceived into believing the psychics on these shows are calling on the true resurrected Jesus. This is not what is happening here. This is New Age spiritism that is being displayed on these shows that are slowly moving into darker waters of the occult.

When a psychic calls on the name of Jesus in these shows it is demonstrating the deception that the Triune God is ok with contacting the dead. The truth of the matter is, God is not ok with this. We know from scripture, 1 Chronicles 10:13, that Saul's transgression against God was summoning the spirit of Samuel from the realm of paradise, through a psychic medium.

13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance,

These paranormal show psychics claim that God and the Holy Spirit is their method of discernment. God doesn't want His people contacting the dead, He doesn't give out this gift. Psychics erroneously quote 1st Corinthians. The gift of discernment has nothing to do with talking to the dead. Talking to the dead is declared in the Holy Scripture as being occult practices, in Deuteronomy 18:9-13.

9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

A psychic does have a gift of discernment, the Holy Spirit was poured out on all of us. What is going on with the psychic is that their spiritual gifts have been hijacked by the demonic. They've been spiritually hacked so to speak. And with this they listen to the lies of the demons about this being okay with God.

When we see a psychic in Scripture, in Acts 16:16, she was a fortune teller, whose powers were identified by the Apostle Paul as being a Python spirit. He cast the demon out of her. I want to paint a picture here that God does not accept his kids to be messing with the occult. Where these psychics are dabbling in Christianity is in Universalist churches where the concept, of paganism, Christianity, and all religions exist as the same God. This is a lie and a deception. Universalism is a New Age church where the false Trinity exists. It also exists in Satanic rituals. Satan has his own second heaven, he has his false (anti-) Chirst, he is the false father, and there is a false Holy Spirit. I learned first hand in my ministry with helping survivors of the occult, the levels of deception that are involved in convincing people that God doesn't exist.

The next time you see a psychic on a paranormal show calling out to the Holy Trinity, be aware that this is not the Christian Trinity. This is a false trinity. And when the psychic drives out a demon in these shows, it is replaced by a higher food chain demon. Remember, Jesus told us about a house divided. Satan doesn't cast out Satan; he leaves a higher spirit behind. Sure the place was cleansed of the first demon(s), but now there is a bigger problem.

As a word to the wise, no Christian should be involved in the paranormal or ghost hunting. If you're seeking proof of the after life, you need to work on your soul's sanctification. As you go deeper with Jesus, you will not need to seek out these worldly things. God will provide your heart with the certitude of his actuality. Seek His presence through prayer and avoid this ghost hunting garbage.

By the way, the following are methods of divination and should be avoided completely by Christians:

• using flash lights to turn on and off to communicate with ghosts.
• use of psychics to investigate hauntings
• using a spirit box or a geo box
• using smart phone apps or digital recorders for evps
• using a spirit board or tarrot cards of any kind, especially  angelology tarrot cards
• using mel meters 
• using special cameras with optics or xbox 3d sensors

Rev. Mike ..you get the picture!!!

A True Case Study of Ritual Abuse

Back in mid-December, my father sent me a link to an article in the Sacramento Bee ‘Spiritual warfare,’ ‘demonic attacks.’ The role religion played in home for sex-trafficking victims . The article referenced the Courage Home in Sacramento that is a safe house for teens from sex-trafficking. The Courage home voluntarily shut down in August 2016, from citations and violations that stemmed from a what a appears to be taking in a Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) survivor.

This article paints a picture of a horrible condition that many in the ministry of working with severe trauma survivors have known about and the mainstream church refuses to accept.  This article provides a good outline that I can reference and draw points from on how to handle these difficult cases.  Please note that ritual abuse survivors commonly show up at the doorstep of safe homes.  When I receive a call for assistance, it is usually from a Christian safe home requesting an exorcist. By the time I am called, a major disturbance has already been taking place for the past several days. The person of the home seeking help has already been passed around like a hot potato from church to church. Churches don't touch exorcisms. Which is a good thing, because a real exorcist must discern whether the situation is diabolic, mental health, or a fractured soul (SRA). Let's pick up with the story from here from the Sac Bee article,

"Two weeks before the voluntary shutdown this year of Courage House, a licensed group home for young sex-trafficking victims near Sacramento, a ritual was performed on a teenage girl."


"According to findings in a state investigation, the girl’s forehead was anointed with oil, a religious verse was recited, and the teen was told she would have to be a Christian, or at least denounce Satan, to continue living in the home. Crosses then were handed out to the other girls to wear."

First of all, anointing a person's forehead with oil is not a ritual. It is a prayer for protection. If a Roman Catholic priest held a mass for the young girl and read from the Rite, then it would have been a ritual.

What is going on here is basic deliverance prayer. Not a ritual. We are not told either if the girl in this situation, accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, on her own. The tone of the author appears to be anti-Christian, with deliberate removal of key facts from this story. What the reporter is unaware of in cases like this are multiple identities involved with a ritual abuse survivor. The person in question, who is clearly a survivor, has 100s to 1000s of identities, from their horrific past in ritual abuse. What happens during prayer, there is a person we call the primary presenter, who is the person who lives out most of the daily life of the shattered individual. The article did not state whether the person referenced had a primary presenter we call a Christian Host. This is the primary identity who on their own volition, accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Because the survivor is aware of the deep struggle with darkness going on inside them, they are fully aware of the heavenly battle we are all born into.  It's not uncommon for the Christian Host to request deliverance prayer to shut down the diabolic voices that are attacking them.  They are capable of sorting out the demonic voices from their own internal identity voices. Because of the ritual abuse identities, a person will switch out and into what we call an occult loyal part, will surface. Occult loyal means that it's an identity that is still bound to the demonic and the occult. It will summon powers from the occult and use it against the people praying. In this case, the people praying with the survivor will experience something like immediate and intense severe migraines. Or some weird form of discomfort. This identity will be triggered to stop the Christian Host from receiving prayer. That was a lot of information unpacked from just two simple paragraphs in the article.

During the deliverance prayer, one of the occult identities was triggered and switched in. A switch is a swap in consciousness, where a different identity is now consciously present and in charge of the decision making. When an occult loyal identity is triggered, they want nothing to do with Jesus. Let alone accept Him as their Lord and Savior. A deliverance prayer session would have tried to get this part to renounce Satan and accept Jesus.  This doesn't work!!! The problem here is that deliverance is popular in church today, but very few understand what they are doing in it. We are living in darker days with a rise in occult activity. Basic deliverance ministers are essentially canon fodder to high-level occult practices. Not because God isn't strong enough, it is because the deliverance ministers are doing it WRONG!!!! The high-level occult is not fought with low-level demonic deliverance ministry.

The moment a safe home like this suspects they have an occult survivor, they need to get a hold of a ministry counseling team that understands dissociative identity disorder and ritual abuse. A survivor of severe trauma requires a magnitude of years for inner healing from their occult ties and trauma. In the Potter's Hands (San Francisco Bay Area), CARE (Michigan), and Restoration in Christ Ministries (Virginia). Charismatics will attempt to take the survivor to a healing session for prayer. This doesn't work. And there is a long story why. Not for here.

Let's move on with the article, it's a treasure trove of misinformation.

“There was never any pressure given, or ultimatums discussed with her,” wrote former program director Melissa Herrmann and clinical director Angela Chanter, who participated in the episode. “She was told she could not perform human and animal sacrifices, or drink the blood of any person there, but she was never told she could not worship Satan nor was she told she had to become a Christian.”

"The clash underscores the tension that can arise between faith-based service providers and government officials – each held accountable for the health and safety of vulnerable clients."

Here's where the social services are completely oblivious to the living hell an occult survivor is going through. Satanism is not the faith of choice of a survivor. They are fleeing from Satanism. The 1000s of identities inside feel they need to sacrifice or do something satanic, otherwise, another internally programmed part will cause them to relive a horrific pain or a rape. These are memories of rape from their own family members in these rituals. Thousands of identities were created in this person solely for the purpose of participating in dark rituals. They are mind control, programmed slaves!

Helping the woman in question here build up her faith in Christ is a matter of self-defense. Ritually abused survivors also have parts programmed to end their lives if they don't return to the coven. These souls are fractured and are programmed to be robots in satanic rituals. This is not a faith tension going on between choosing Christianity and Satanism, it is an internal living hell struggle with the soul that is fractured. Furthermore, regarding allowing the identity to practice Satanism, we don't let the occult parts to practice their craft because they summon more demonic spirits. As a side note here, if there is no Christian host present, you need to patiently work with the individual to build one up inside. If they have no interest whatsoever in being saved, you can't deliverance them into being saved. Sorry! That doesn't work. You can love the individual and work with them to make life choices about living in your safe house. If they don't abide, then it's their choice. Relocate them to another place where they feel they will get help. You must understand where they are at in their desire for help and healing. If they don't want help, then they are adults and they haven't arrived at the conclusion that they want to be healed. This is where over zealous Christians get the rest of us in trouble. Always respect free will. Jesus does!

The problem is, it's near impossible to build a faith-based home to house these survivors. From a government or state funded perspective - you are dealing with the supernatural! It takes a specially trained team of counselors, spiritual directors, and life coaches, to successfully restore these shattered souls. I know my team is looking for such a home in the bay area for our own healing efforts so we can rescue women in this seemingly hopeless nightmare. If you are in the Sacramento area, I say donate to the Courage House and help them out. In fact churches in that area should be surrounding them and blessing them financially. That is a house of deep inner healing! The ritual abuse survivors are trafficked children the church doesn't care to deal with. The church is into rescuing children, but it takes more to rescue a child than to merely get them into a safe house. The years of trauma and hell from their nightmare needs to be healed. The church likes the social media aspect of rescuing the trafficked. But they don't want to get their hands dirty in the very long healing process. Sad but true. I personally work full time at a day job and minister in the evenings. We receive donations from people who understand the battle we and the survivors are in. In our ministry it's a day to day struggle helping these amazing Christian souls regain they're wholeness. But they're doing it.

It's a whole different and deeper level of spiritual warfare. This is a level of darkness beyond the basic believer's comprehension. I once had a pastor tell me to stop scaring the people in the church with my testimonies about ritual abuse. The church needs its own re-awakening on the darkness we are now in with spiritual warfare. Any ritual abuse survivor that is rescued and brought into a home it becomes a spiritual war zone. It is not unlikely, from my experience, that the occupants of the Courage Home also saw the spirits that were summoned. So as you put the pieces together it's not so crazy what the Courage House tried to do, they just didn't have the right tools to fight the unseen darkness. I am pretty sure the Courage House did what they did because in this battle - they were alone!


Well, that's enough for now. Hope this was beneficial.

A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the Power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALMS

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.
