M16 Ministries

A silent anniversary crept up on me in 2019. This year marks the 10th anniversary of M16 Ministries' 501c3 application and approval. The ministry was born in 2006, but in 2009, it was sufficiently chugging along to go legit. Rather than set off a confetti bottle popper and go "woohoo!", I would rather reflect on the road and challenges of getting to this milestone. I think the new ministers would benefit from a fireside chat on what it took to get to this milestone anniversary. If you stumbled on this page out a rash of boredom and Internet surfing while waiting for your car to be detailed at the car wash let me fill you in on what M16 Ministries is all about.  Rather than click-bait you and make you wait till the end I'll just jump right in - spoiler alert. M16 Ministries is a pioneering ministry in dark spiritual warfare. What does that mean, Reverend Mike? It means the Holy Spirit has raised up a ministry to deal with dark threats and spiritual entanglements be...

What do you do when you want to reach out to God, but your heart is agony? Maybe your praying for healing for yourself or for a loved one that is extremely ill. Or perhaps the unthinkable, your prayer request for a full healing went unanswered. This is a place of agony and complete brokeness in your heart. Your heart is painfully shattered in pieces, and you feel nothing but darkness around you. Possibly even your faith has been shaken to the core. The pain of the heart crying out is so intense that it is no longer just emotional, but it is physical and tangible. This is the place of inner turmoil and agony that I wish on no one. But sadly, everyone is bound to experience during their journey through this life. How do you hear God when you feel He has abandoned you or you're angry at Him? Perhaps you thought you heard in your spirit that God was going to heal your loved one, and then they died from their ailments. I remember early on when I was first learning to pray for healing,...

We had an incredible night in ministry on Friday evening, November 28, 2014, it was the night immediately after Thanksgiving. Angela met up with Lisa and I as we did an impromptu Night Strike in the TL. As we drove into the city across the bay bridge I commented on what a beautiful evening this was turning out to be. Not a cloud in the sky, no fog. From the bay bridge we could clearly see the lights of the Golden Gate bridge, yes, it was one of those unusually clear and beautiful nights in the city. As we pulled into the parking area on Fulton, it was immediately clear there were an unusually high number of homeless people out on the streets this evening. Once we parked the car, we made our way over to the traditional meeting area of the horse statute with our bags of items to distribute to the people there. Along the wall of the Asian art museum, there were a lot of people bedding down for the night. We hung around the statue for about 20 minutes until the area died down from a...

M16 Ministries – Where We’ve Been in 13 and Where We’re Going in 14  I know it’s February 2014 and here I am finally getting back to what happened in 2013. In my perspective, 2013 was a whirlwind adventure for M16 Ministries. We equipped churches in prophetic street ministry and deliverance. We hosted extreme prophetic ministry outreaches at street fairs and New Age psychic expos. We look for venues that are crying out spiritually. I don’t disclose where we go. But it’s off the hook ministry. Why do we go to these places? It takes a special ministry team and God wants to show these people how much He loves them. When we come in the love of the Father we are embraced by the people at these events. They are in turn deeply impacted by the words and destiny spoken over them. IT’s been a long relationship and trust building journey. At these venues, God spoke to around 300 or more people in our encounters booths. Validation from God at a psychic expo As many of you know Re...

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...
