Tales of Glory - We enter the Third Mansions! We have persevered through the first two mansions. Now Saint Teresa identifies another destination ahead in our interior prayer life development and our deeper union with God. The soul enters into the third mansions, where we experience aridity and trials, that make us wonder what God is doing. Saint Teresa guides us through the soul's development of humility as it weathers this dryness in prayer. The soul learns it must choose to love Jesus deeper, where it's develops a relational maturity that loving Jesus is far more important than desiring spiritual consolations in prayer.

The Interior Castle Manuscripts and Commentaries Used for this Podcast
This wraps up the Interior Castle Third Mansions Chapter 01. Next we move deeper into the Third Mansions and unpack what Saint Teresa reveals to us on advance prayer in the Third Mansions Chapter 02!
Tales of Glory - this episode we move into the Second Mansions of Saint Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle. Here Saint Teresa explains to us the differences between the First Mansions and the Second Mansions. Souls that enter the Second Mansions are no longer deaf-and-dumb. We begin to hear God as we develop our prayer life. In the Second Mansions we encounter harsh trials to correct the soul in its sanctification. Saint Teresa tells us that we need to employ the practice of Recollection into our everyday prayer practices. Let's dive into the Second Mansions!
The late Fr. Thomas DuBay on the Seven Mansions of Saint Teresa of Avila
Thank you for stopping by. Next episode on Saint Teresa's Interior Castle we enter into the chapters of the Third Mansions and learn more about ascetical prayer.
In this episode of Tales of Glory -REDUX- edition podcast, we look at voodoo and the recent episode of Ghost Adventures, 'Home Invasion". About the voodoo witch spirit that infests Aaron Goodwin's old home. More important, what do you the pastor do when a member of the church body tells you there house has a demonic voodoo infestation?
I've been ignoring GA more and more lately because of its level of darkness is reaching an all time low. They're satanists. The crew doesn't call themselves that, but it's what they are. And they're actions reveal it. This episode of GA has some revelations on the current readiness of the Christian Church on dealing with the demonic and witchcraft. We are not to RUN from it. In this episode, Aaraon's father Dan, admits his pastor and friend could not help him with the matter of the demonic infestation of Dan Goodwin's home. M16 Ministries, from it's early days, was literally thrown into battles with voodoo, No one shadowed me, or trained me. God brought the fight to my ministry, literally. I didn't advertise or ask for it. The Holy Spirit trained me. In this podcast I want to speak out and make comments on what to do when this supernatural battle hits the pews of your church.
Remember, there is no methodology in this. It's all about who you are in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit directs you in these battles!!!

M16 Ministries Curse Breaking in Haiti - I mentioned I would post my video on the praying and cleansing of the Haitian witch doctor. My video was removed. Arghh!!! I'll need to go dig up the original copy. Hopefully, I still have it somewhere. Apologies.
As I prepared my new A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare web site, I found an archived video of the curse breaking in Haiti.
After some hiatus and a little quarantine time in between, Tales of Glory - Interior Castle First Mansions Chapter 02!
Let's dive into this classic manuscript on prayer and see what the Saint has to say on developing your interior life. We are in First mansions, where we just entered the castle and the soul is beginning to learn to pray. Or as the Saint says, the soul opens into itself through prayer.
In chapter 02, Saint Teresa wants to warn us about the dangers of mortal sin, before we move into deeper mansions. We must address our sinful nature, before advancing through the castle. Otherwise, the venomous vipers and reptiles, our own sinful natures we allowed in with us will draw us back out!
In this episode of Tales of Glory, we'll take a short prep break, as I work on the Interior Castle. Tonight we talk about the simplest way to get into healing, deliverance, and prophetic supernatural ministry. This is what you need to know to start your own homeless ministry, and why it's advantageous to do this to get training from the Holy Spirit.
I will present why the homeless ministry is the best approach for ministers who are being called into ministry and how easy it is to get started. I provide tips on how take simple approaches for launching a powerful ministry with minimal budget.

Night Strike on the 700 Club
A Tourist Getting Prophetic Word at Night Strike
Night Strike History
Night Strike began in 1999, when Bob Johnson, pastor of the Frontline church in Redding, was called by God to come minister on the streets of San Francisco. Bob Johnson, along with Mark Neitz and Milton Meyer, started ministering to the poor on the streets of Jones and Eddy. It was then the skidrow of the city. It is now the site of the Tenderloin Police station. Mark Neitz said their old white van with a purple stripe would pull up on a Thursday evening for street ministry and the place would just go nuts. The people knew the ministry van pulled up and they would gather around it and start rocking it and pound on it. Mark and Milton would hand out peanut butter sandwiches prepared by Debra Stineart. Debra was still in Redding at the time and she would prepare all the food and items to be handed out. Redding is a 3 hour drive from San Francisco.
Mark Neitz made connections with other local ministries, like the Homeless Church, led by Pastor Evan Prosser. Mark and his wife, Jessica, led ministry bootcamps to serve the people in high crime areas like Hunter's Point and the Richmond district, as well as the Tenderloin.
By 2006, Night Strike grew into a large minstry event occuring every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. Church groups from all over the United States came to work in the "manna truck" and serve hundreds of meals to the homeless in a matter of hours. Some attendees chose to work close to the "manna truck" because the streets were still rough at night. Other more adventurous people went out on teams to deliver food, and most important of all - a touch from the heavenly Father. Night Strike has witnessed incredible healings and delivernces on the streets. Night Strike started as, and still continues on today, as a supernatural street ministry bringing healing to the street and heavenly encounters.
In 2009, M16 Minsitries evolved from deliverance ministry on the streets with Night Strike.
In October 2011, Bob Johnson was called again by God to work in area of passion, social Justice. Bob returned to his home in Redding to start iDignify. Mark Neitz was being called to start an orphanage for children rescued from sex trafficking. Bob and Mark passed the batton of operation over to M16 Ministries to fullfill their new calling and season in ministry.

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.

In this episode of Tales of Glory we dive into Saint Teresa of Avila's classic masterpiece on prayer, "The Interior Castle" or "Mansions", Chapter 01. Saint Teresa was a Spanish Catholic from the 1500's who knew a thing or two about developing a deep a prayer life with Jesus Christ. As we continue the topic of the way of the warrior we are going to dive into the theology of intimacy with the Father, his Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Starting with the First Mansions, Chapter 01, we starting in at ground level on the topic of learning to pray and developing a spiritual interior life. The saint is a romantic at heart and provides the language for us for our stages in going deeper in prayer and what intimacy with Jesus Christ looks like. SO kick back, pull up a chair to the fireside conversation and let's learn about beginning stages of prayer.
Let's dive in!! The Interior Castle - First Mansions Chapter 01
Tales of Glory podcast, continuing on with the The way of the Holy Spirit warrior topic. In this episode we dive into the Holy Spirit's gift of spiritual discernment of spirits as it pertains to encounters in spiritual warfare and the likes of these experiences through the lens of Christian mystical theology.
What is a Christian mystical experience with God's invisible spiritual realm? What does it look like? How do we discern the spirits during these encounters?
In this episode we'll dive into this fascinating topic of spiritual warfare and spiritual discernment.
My Dodge SRT4 totaled in a 5mph crash. The day I was leaving for Burning Man ministry (attacks on cars by regional spirits).
My SRT4 being towed with its motor blown. Was on my way to ministry in San Francisco. It was the night of trafficking ministry in a location that is under a regional spirit of San Francisco.
