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...
