It never ceases to amaze me how quickly demons can embrace new technology and run with it. Several years ago when I was being led by the Holy Spirit into curse breaking I would go to hospitals and pray over people. If I felt there was a curse responsible for the person's sickness, I would start praying for the curse to be broken. During these prayer sessions in hopsitals, on several occassions, one individual I was working with, who was demonically oppressed, would always call my cell phone.  He would call at the exact moment I started the curse breaking. I wouldn't hear for him for a month. And then wham! At the start of a curse breaking prayer, his oppressors would have him reach for his cell phone and dial me. This interruption was becoming so common that I added shutting off the cell phone to the check list of things to do for prepping for a curse breaking. Demons don't stop at cell phones, they are early adopters of new technology. An interesting case we came acros...

Field Notes to Mystical Theology is my online filing cabinet to my current writing project, The Field Guide to Mystical Theology. Continuing on in the research of Saint Teresa of Avila's work, The Interior Castle. This is the saint's masterpiece in documenting the developing stages of a contemplative prayer life. As mentioned before, The Interior Castle is NOT a how to book on prayer. It's not about methodology. It's about transforming your life to be more like Christ through a prayer life. The early church mystic,Saint Teresa, makes it perfectly clear there is no methodology. Prayer life is about developing a deeper love for Jesus Christ. She documents, using her metaphor the interior castle (the soul), of what she feels are the seven stages of prayer life development. The first and second mansions lay the foundations of what a beginner in prayer life experiences. In the second mansions Teresa describes the inner warfare a soul encounters when it steps into the seco...

One question we get asked the most is, “How do I bless my house?” It’s rather simple and we’ll outline it here for you. The one thing you will notice is that the way M16 likes to bless homes isn’t ritualistic. We like to invite the creator of the universe onto our land and into our house. We bless a house by communing with the Holy Spirit. God wants to interact with us and be involved in our lives. So we don’t ramble prayers off a sheet of paper. There are many reasons to bless your house, ranging from just creating an environment pleasing to God to dwell in your home to driving out evil spirits. When God comes, He is their commander, and the bad spirits leave. Blessing a house makes it desirable to God and undesirable to evil. When I bless my own home I walk the four corners of my property. Like Joshua, I possess my land. I consecrate the land to God and thank him for letting me be the steward of the property. I ask the Father in heaven for protecting angels to be released on my prop...

Field Notes to Mystical Theology are blog posts from my current writing project Field Guide to Mystical Theology. These are my research notes for the writing project. Without the overhead of printing costs, I can allow my notes to be as large and as exhaustive as I want. And keep the new Field Guide book I am writing, down to 200 or so pages. The first book in the series, Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare (Feb 2011, Destiny Image) is 300 pages. These are my notes and not the book. So don't think you're getting away cheap here! The Field Guide to Mystical Theology is going to be awesome. Don't be turned off by the name 'mystic'. Did you know the original usage of the word 'mystic' was to describe the 'mystical body of Christ'? The mystical body means the Church. The term mystic means eastern religion or new age now. The enemy created its own counterfeit mysticism.  Grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee, and step into my writing studio as I work on thi...

On Saturday, November 20, 2010, my family and I went out with Jason and Katie of Lion's Pride ministries to minister to the homeless young people in "the Haight", of San Francisco. Along with us for ministry were a group of first year students from the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry (SSM). Kim and Darrell Hill drove down 10 ministry students on Friday night to the city to minister on Night Strike in streets of the Tenderloin in San Francisco. We got drenched from rain on Friday. Saturday morning developed into a beautiful cloud free day for the early part of the day. Our team met at the Mac Donald's on Stanyon. Yes, the very same Mac Donald's in the news for raising the dollar menu prices by a quarter to drive off the homeless. We divvied up the students into 2 teams. Our team consisted of Jason (Pastor of Lion’s Pride), myself, my wife Lisa, and my son Josh, with Katie (SSM), Rebekah (SSM), Laura (SSM), Colleen (SSM), Joanne (Bethel and Time is Pre...

This is an interesting article that surfaced, Wednesday November 17, 2010 in the Trinidad Guardian (an island in the Atlantic just northeast of Guyana, South America). I copied the article over, Panic After Devil Attack , in its entirety, the server in Trinidad took forever to load the page. Panic After the Devil Attack at School Panic broke out at the Moruga Composite School yesterday as 17 female students fell mysteriously ill and began rolling on the ground, hissing and blabbering in a strange tongue, after suffering bouts of nausea and headaches. Two of the students reportedly tried to throw themselves off a railing and had to be physically restrained, triggering fears of a possible demon attack. The drama started during the lunch hour in the Form One block and quickly spread to other areas. Form Five student Kern Mollineau, who attends the Lighthouse Tabernacle Church, said he got worried when the girls’ eyes began rolling up in their heads and they began beating up on the...
