M16 Ministries

Back in 2007, when God started my spiritual warfare ministry (notice how I phrased that), I had no idea what deliverance ministry was. Long story short (covered in A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the Power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALMS ), I found myself several months later on the streets of San Francisco, doing homeless ministry, through Bob Johnson's City Ministries, Night Strike on Friday nights. My very first night on a Night Strike, I was in the Tenderloin with my team, led by husband and wife, Wayne and Diane. Also on our small team were, Matthew (aka Hollywood) whom would stay on with me later as a key Night Strike member, and Mark, who was the youth pastor, from Harvest Christian Church (but has since moved on). On the streets, we encountered a homeless woman, I handed her some warm soup and started talking with her. I asked her if she would like for me to pray with her. She took a sip of her soup and replied, "Oh, sure. That would be nice....

The following is a video segment from the Friday January 17 Equipping for Spiritual Warfare sessions that were held in Redding, Ca through Bob and Kimberly Johnson Ministries . The video and audio aren't so great on this. I record sessions on my iphone to review for what I need do better in future talks. So this is M16 Ministries raw and unplugged - so to speak. It was a 2 day seminar on spiritual warfare. On Friday evening I spoke extensively on the subject of mystical theology and Saint Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle. Here is a segment on the Sixth dwelling places and how I tie the states of mystical theology back into states of torment used by the enemy. I share stories from M16 Ministries past warfare experiences in these as well. Enjoy! Mystical Theology Sixth DP from Michael Norton on Vimeo . Blessings Rev.

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...

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...

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...

Welcome to 2012 2011 was an incredible year for our ministry. Our ministry has been humbled by the number of people who the Lord put in contact with us and allowed our ministry to meet their needs. The Father has come and met the needs of His children, some in their darkest hour. The light of Jesus Christ has always come crashing through. Some people we get to meet first hand, others we meet with a phone call. Our magic jack, which I have renamed the Jesus Jack, has become indispensable in ministry and reaching others, whom we can't meet in person. The ministry exploded with the release of the Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - the POWER to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALM (FGSW). We have received e-mails from people who read the book and met Jesus face down on their floor in the middle of demonic battle. We have had numerous e-mails from people thanking the ministry for putting together the FGSW. The flood of e-mails has been incredible. An we're honored by each and...

The mission trip to Vietnam and Cambodia was phenomenal and an eye opener to many things. The missionary team was comprised of about 20 people. Each from different walks of life and ministries. Peter and Chinga Pan organized a flawless missions trip to these countries that executed like clockwork. I felt the call to go to Vietnam with Mark Neitz back in the summer. Lisa, Conni and I had just completed a deliverance prayer session that opened our eyes on children trafficking and the affects on the rescued children in orphanages. After that, my heart was called to go on the trip. Kimberly Johnson from iDignify in Redding also joined the team. Don and Maria Whitney were on the team and our now living in Vietnam at orphanage, they and the Neitz family are setting up. The Neitz family moves to Vietnam in July. In Vietnam we met with the Vietnamese underground church pastors. Evangelicals are still being persecuted in the more outer villages so we aren't posting pictures of the confer...

Reaching the Unreachable   14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:14-15             Mike Norton ministers to the city of San Francisco. “It’s a spiritual battlefield” that he and a team of other Christians have marked as their fight. “We’re at war,” Mike says, comparing his mission to the Biblical story of Joshua. “And there are giants.”             Although his mission seems tremendous, Mike knows his purpose is simply to plant seeds. “Change one life at a time – never minister to someone and have an agenda,” he says. “[God] will not shove the Gospel down someone’s throat. He will min...

The first case M16 was called into was to go to battle and stop a spiritual attack of voodoo. This was before M16 Minsitries and literally the case that was the incarnation of M16. The time frame was around October of 2007. I was an active leader in Night Strike, with Bob Johnson's City Ministries International. For those of you reading who aren't familiar with Night Strike it is a ministry in San Francsico that goes in on Friday nights to the darkest neighborhoods under the protective covering of the Holy Spirit and ministers to the homeless, drug addicts and prostitutes. Night Strike literally is a special ops prayer team that has witnessed some incredible healings and miracles. I had been going through an incredible year of where the Holy Spirit was revealing the supernatural. Nearly every time I set foot on the streets at a Night Strike in San Francisco something supernatural occurred involving spiritual warfare. School was in session for me with intense training during ...
