Christmas: Theology of the Virgin Birth of Jesus

Image
I have had the incredible opportunity this year to be a guest on several radio shows. I noticed a trend while doing these radio shows that most people were inquiring more about Jesus and His background than asking me about spiritual warfare questions. Was Jesus God incarnate? The quick answer is yes. And the long answer is I can write volumes on this theology. But if I do that I will put you to sleep, or I will lose you altogether. I had some one-on-one time with Jesus in my car, during my commute, about how to answer this question. Was Jesus God incarnate, or just a man? As I had this commute conversation with Jesus (called mental prayer), the interior discussion led to wrapping my thoughts around the theology of the virgin birth of Jesus. Now hold on, We'll get through this! What I wanted was the shortest approach to answering if Jesus was God incarnate. Apparently, this was the answer I received during mental prayer. The Virgin Birth is the theology that the Hol

Connecting with God

Image
As a Christian counselor in the San Francisco Bay area, I have the pleasure of working with people who survived childhood trauma.  In counseling sessions, we work on inner healing to help heal the part of the soul that was wounded or in more severe cases fractured into multiple identities in consciousness. During these sessions, Jesus Christ is the one who brings healing to the wounded soul. My job as a counselor and spiritual director is to work with these souls and identities connect with Jesus. From these sessions, I have observed a growing trend where souls are not able to connect with the indwelling Jesus. Why I find this startling is because a lot of these souls are people I worked with at one point or another in evangelistic outreach ministries. This observation was curious to me that these souls could do prophetic ministry and yet not hear God for themselves. How is that these people could hear from God for others, but not connect with God at all on a very subtle level? In

Sowers Needed for Inner Healing Ministry

Following the Holy Spirit is always an adventure. He places dreams on your heart, and speaks to you in dreams when you sleep. I never fully knew where I was being taken in His plans when I was launched into spiritual warfare ministry back in 2008. The Holy Spirit taught me supernatural ministry on the streets. I really enjoyed His one-on-one training. What I encountered on the streets of San Francisco was to later prepare me for the plans He had for me in ministry. Since that time the Holy Spirit has trained me in deliverance ministry and beyond. My heart was always for the street ministry, but I was needed elsewhere. The Holy Spirit had trained me in some very dark spiritual warfare, again it fell under the charter of M16 Ministries, helping those who had nowhere else to turn. Today, I am now working out of an office of In the Potter’s Hands Christian Counseling center as prayer minister for survivors of severe trauma and ritual abuse. M16 Ministries is still helping those who ha

Supernatural Ministry and Inner Healing

Image
Supernatural Ministry and Inner Healing in SF Many times in the church we ask God to take us out of our comfort zone.  If you want to step into supernatural ministry this is a must. A lot of times people don't comprehend what stepping out of your comfort zone means. People used to ask me to pray over them so they would have the impartation to go out on the streets to minister to the homeless. I noticed these people I prayed over never showed up to minster in the streets. What they needed was a Friday night couch impartation . So I quit praying over the people who asked me to be released into the streets. It was a waste of my time. I did notice that the people who showed up to minister on the streets were blessed immensely by their sacrifice. God would show them the supernatural. These were super special people operating in the supernatural who were just dependable and consistent. There is a nickels worth of free theology there. I stopped Night Strike ministry back in August of

Cultural Relevance of Sexual Immorality and Iniquity

Image
While I was doing time on my spin cycle this morning a thought hit me about sexual immorality and how it is affecting the church body at large. Somehow this information in my head was just swirling around as I peddled this morning. So why was I pondering the mysteries of the universe and what’s this about sexual immorality? Was my head in the gutter? Let me rewind here a bit and bring you up to speed. I have been working the past couple of days on a writing project that required me to research and write a chapter on biblical sin. When you start to study the scripture on sin you see some common terminology of God’s law surface. These words are sin, transgressions, and iniquities. As a scriptural example, let’s look at psalm 51. Psalm 51:1-2 -1 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your loving kindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin. King David broke out each of these wo

Christian Occult Ritual Survivors and Easter

Image
As many churches prepare for to celebrate Easter Sunday, and families stay home and dye eggs, there is a small team of intercessors who will pray through the night to protect survivors of the occult. You see, despite the portrayal of Satanists being atheists, they are actually very aware of the truth behind Jesus Christ and horrifically mock all the Christian holidays with ritual blood sacrifices. Many people want to turn their head and welcome plurality with freedom of religion. But the documented truth is that Satanists are diabolically evil. There are famous murder cases that mark the activity of Satanists on Christian holidays. They especially despise Easter. It marks the historical defeat of Satan and starts a timeline for his judgment. Now to cite historically what Satanists do on Easter there is this classic from the 1980s, where a Catholic nun, Sister Margaret Ann Pahl , a 71 year old woman was brutally sacrificed in Mercy hospital's chapel. The man who presided over Si

Part I - Crash Course Working with Survivors of the Occult and Severe Trauma

PART I - Working with Survivors of the Occult and Severe Trauma A CRASH COURSE On Saturday, March 5, at the Bay Area Sunday School Convention (2016),  M16 Ministries and In the Potter's Hands Christian Counseling put on a crash course in working with survivors of the occult (ritual abuse) and severe trauma. Toni Taigen of In the Potter's Hands, and myself, usually have a 2 hour presentation each on the subject matter, and that's barely the tip of the ice berg. AT B.A.S.S., we each spoke for about 15 minutes to drive the point home on the topic. And afterwards we had a 45 minute Q & A Session. In this section I am going to make the basic introductions and open with the objectives of the discussion for this training session. In the next installment I will present in Part II of the session we gave on healing the severely traumatized. In this video, Toni Taigen of In the Potter's Hands introduces topics in trauma and  Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D.
