M16 Ministries

These days there is a real hunger for the "Paranormal".  Just cruise the cable guide and the endless array of these tv shows. These descriptions from the enemy can be quite confusing when ministering outside the church walls. Mike Norton, the author of "A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALM", founder of M16 Ministries, will give personal experiences and in-depth training on how to bring freedom to individuals who are trapped in this deception. You will not want to miss out on this supernatural ministry training! Mike will be presenting an advance class on Equipping for Spiritual Warfare. This class will provide material not commonly found in popular Christian deliverance books. In this session, you will be equipped to: Provide on-going pastoral care for severely demonized individuals. Understand why the current church methods of deliverance are ineffective with Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) survivors. Ide...

This past week I had the absolute pleasure to minister with some awesome men of God, from New Hope Evangelical, from Orange City, Iowa. George and Eric Rankin led the team, including Eric's teenage son, William, Joel Leusink, Effiong Bassey, and yours truly. It was an incredible group of men and there was some great Holy Spirit synergy during the prayer sessions we had. Thank you gentlemen for inviting me out to minister with you. We stayed at a facility in Haiti, at the United Christian's International , run by Pastor Jean Jean (pronounced Jon Jon)  and his wife, Christie. This vblog contains video of curse breaking I was involved with on the first day, boots on the ground in Haiti. Blessings Rev. Mike For more information on curse breaking, read our book on spiritual warfare. A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the Power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALMS

What Would You do if I Came to Your Church -and Wore my Wedding Dress? I am jumping ahead of myself here. But I think this was the title of the evening that unfolded last Friday night, October 25, 2013. Bob and Kimberly Johnson ministries brought a street ministry team down from Redding, Ca. With our Night Strike leaders and the team from BKJM we probably had about 30 people in all out on the streets with us. On this particular evening my team I was on was attempting to leave the plaza at Felton and Hyde, only God kept sending the people to us. Sometimes He does this to us, He sends His kids into the plaza to meet us. We were swamped with people from the streets coming in wanting supplies and some good prayer over them. We had one individual who came in, they didn't want ministry, I believe at first they wanted to mock us. This individual, I am going to name, Claire, for this blog, not their real name, is a transvestite. Claire came into our group with the preconceived notion t...

As I was shooting video for the VBLOG today I came across old video on the camera sandisk that was shot last Spring. Pastor Jimi Merrell and I put on a Prophetic Bootcamp - a 4 hour crash course in prophetic ministry. Here is an excerpt on that class. I open with discussions on mystical theology concepts, from Saint Teresa of Avila, on hearing God -  (latin locutio) locutions and the different ways we hear and feel God's presence. This was the intro portion of the course. Addendum 10/03/13: I wrote this blog on the eve (10/02/13) of a prophetic message spreading through the Internet and social media that God is going to execute judgment on Northern California with an earthquake. The prophecy was for Oct 3, or today as I add this addendum. Since my blog is on hearing God. I wanted to pipe in on what I am hearing. The only earthquake that s happening today are number of people scrambling in fear about this false prophecy. FEAR. It is a spirit of fear. The spirit of prophecy wa...

M16 Ministries VBLOG for Thursday September 26, 2013 Is divination the same as a prophetic gift? M16 Divination VBLOG Thursday September 26 2013 from Michael Norton on Vimeo . Session notes. Quoted sources: Divination in the Bible Scripture: Deuteronomy 18:9-14 Spiritism is Forbidden 9  “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. 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 y...

One of my favorite days of doing ministry is always on Friday the 13th. For most people it is a taboo day of self-expectant bad luck. I love this day because God loves to mock taboo especially Friday the 13th. God seems to really cut loose on this cyclic calendar date. For some time I had been praying to be released into sending Night Strike teams back into the Mission District. As I purchased food and drove it over to Mary S, for her team to prep, I was having a conversation with Jesus in my car. Jesus had a plan and I was to take a Night Strike team and return a Night Strike presence in the Mission district of San Francisco. TONIGHT! In the evening, as the team leaders met up at our IN-N-Out Burger carpool location, it turns out that Mary S was the first to volunteer to be on the team to go out tonight. What Mary didn't realize was that I was given confirmation to GO tonight. Mary asked me if she needed anyone who spoke Spanish to go with me to the Mission. My eyes lit up and I...

Better late than never. I know. I am getting ready for Night Strike ministry for this Friday August 09, 2013, and I am just getting around to documenting NS from July 26, 2013. Well, it's been one of those months. We have been blessed with favor and having Mary S. and an incredible group of people prepare some fabulous food to bring to God's children on the streets. Mary's team prepared sandwich wraps, which were an incredible and immediate hit on the streets. We had a great turnout of people for our July 26, 2013 Friday Night Strike. I think we sent out about 5 teams of 8-10 people on this evening. I went out on Sonia P's team. And she was led by the Spirit and took us to different places on the streets in and around Bill Graham Center and the Tenderloin. On one of our stops I had the pleasure to minister with Andrea B, who had a great prophetic word for a woman we encountered on the streets. That's what we're all about it isn't about the sandwiches and so...

Friday May 10, 2013 logged another incredible night on the streets of San Francisco with Night Strike. The weather was absolutely gorgeous with a hint of "San Francisco cold". We had about 40 people out with us on the streets from various churches in the bay area. We had the Rock from Roseville young adult group out with us too on this evening. Incredible group of young people who weren't afraid to dive right in and pray and minister in the prophetic. It was an great night right from the start. Night Strike got to breakout it's newly donated sound system. What a difference a microphone makes in addressing groups of people and praying from the UN Plaza. It was definitely a step up over projecting the ol'voice. From the UN Plaza we shipped out 6 teams to go in directions that were led by the Holy Spirit. The team I led headed in the direction of Polk street and we just navigated the streets and alleys as led by the Holy Spirit. The team encountered some men si...

My home away from home church is the Free Evangelic Church . It was one of those liberating Sundays for me to sneak out and go to the Oil Church, as it is informally known as, in San Francisco. Located in the Mission District neighborhood in the city, the church has an indiscriminate front which is easily missed when looking for the building. Today, I got to slip out with the Scooby gang, my sons Matt, and Joshua, and with us were Andrea and Devon and Luke. The Oil Church earned it's name by the manifestation of oil that occurs during church service. For the past 60 years or so, the Free Evangelical Church of San Francisco, gets regular visitations, by 650 angels during the gospel service.   Many long time attendees of the Free Evangelic have Bibles that looked like they were left out in the rain. Which they weren't, of course. The Bibles are saturated with Holy Oil that manifests when the angels enter the church service. Shown below, is my personal Bible, which was an...

The Night Strike crew had a great night on the streets in San Francisco. This is the recap from Friday April 12, 2013. We had the team from Santa Cruz School of the Supernatural with us on the streets. The SCSM is training leaders to take routes on the streets on Night Strikes. We had our team leaders on hand, Lisa, Diana, Sonja, Teresea, Bruce, Dennis (Jr.), Bobby, and Hollywood (Joseph). Along with them we had Dorothea, Charde, Mary and Tess. We had several teams on the streets in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. Nearly everyone came back at the end of the evening with a testimony of a really great encounter on the streets. I am going to reflect on some of the highlights I had while I was on the streets on Diana's team, we had Ken and Kim from SCSM, Charde (who was out on her first Night Strike), Booby, and Hollywood. Our team made it's way to Polk St, we followed no particular path and just went out as the Spirit led us. One of the alleys we walked down, we met TJ. TJ wa...

For most of you reading this post, it is a celebration of Good Friday. It is a day of remembrance for what Jesus did on the cross for ME. I know, you expected me to write, a religious day of remembrance, celebrated by Christians, for Jesus' victory on the cross. Or you may be from the school, that it is Christian celebration for the myth of Christ to control the masses. Believe what ever you want to believe. But the accurate definition, a day of remembrance for what Jesus did for ME!  If there is any confusion, speak it out loud to yourself. These are not magic incantations or the ramblings of a lunatic. Speak it out verbatim as I have it for you here. These words are for you. Good Friday is a day of remembrance for what Jesus did for ME! This definition is universal. It goes beyond, Christian doctrine, whether Protestant, Catholic, or Coptic belief systems. It goes beyond Buddhism, atheism, Hinduism, wiccan practices and Satanism. No matter who you are in the world, or w...

I really love the documentary, Furious Love, I think the film makers did a great job. There is one section that never really quite sat right with me. It was the interview with Angela Greenig and the bride of Satan. There is a greater detail recap from XPMedia with Patricia King . You can follow that link and view the video. It's about a 10 minute video that goes into greater detail about Angela and the deliverance of the bride of Satan, who is referred to as Rebekah. Angela Greenig is a great deliverance minister and it took an exceptional individual in their walk with Christ to perform the miraculous here. What I am concerned with in the releasing of this testimony are the lack of facts that associate the deliverance of anyone in dark bondage to Satanism. Rebekah was violently, ritually and sexually abused. For a long period of time. Yes, these people can be miraculously delivered by Jesus. But the thorough story on Rebekah's healing is not being told.  Rebekah is n...
