Discerning Internal Voices - Demonic or a Fractured Soul

Image
I receive a lot of emails requesting help from people who believe they're  oppressed by demonic spirits because they hear internal voices. The current state of deliverance ministry in the church today needs to receive correction in how they handle people who are suffering from hearing internal voices. When people ask me for help and tell they are under attack by demonic voices, I ask them how they know the source is demonic. One common response from these people seeking help is, "well, I went to see this big deliverance minister, and they told me that I have demons." This assumption is based on the notion that the "BIG" deliverance minister can actually discern spirits. Sad fact. Many can't! If you are hearing internal voices and have gone to numerous ministers who can't cast these spirits out, I have a recommendation for you. Stop going to deliverance ministers. What you need is a break from this and a reboot. The ministry of deliverance as it exist...

Hearing from God When the Heart Really Hurts

Image
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,...

Asia Inner Healing from Severe Trauma Ministry Trip November 2017

Image
When a church or ministry returns from a trip, their website or blog is filled with pictures of the smiling faces from foreign lands and pictures of activities accomplished. M16 Ministries we work in covert spiritual warfare and inner healing. There is never a paper or picture trail of what we did or what we accomplished. M16 Ministries is a lot like the Navy Seals, we go in undercover, accomplish our mission and return home to our families. This last Thanksgiving week, M16 Ministries, with In the Potter's Hands counseling, traveled to a country in Asia to equip and train staff at a home for young girls. I won't identify the country or the location of our objective because of the sensitivity of the people and children involved. Many of the young girls at this home are survivors of severe violent crimes. One young girl who is not even a teen is the survivor of a gruesome psychopathic rape, where her perpetrator believed she was dead.By the grace of God she didn't die. Anot...

Ministering to a Ritual Abuse Survivor

Image
Ritual abuse survivors are beginning to surface in different parts of the world now. I live in Northern California, and there are quite a few survivors in my region. But I am getting calls from all over the world by survivors, pastors, and counselors. What is a ritual abuse survivor? It is someone who was traumatized severely from a young age and was forced into participating in secret society rituals. The high level of trauma involved in these rituals cased the human soul to fracture into multiple identities. Many times in ritual settings this fracturing is done deliberately by someone who was a handler or a programmer to instigate mind control. This deliberate dissociation of the human consciousness can be a tale tail sign of ritual abuse. But not always, a soul may be traumatized emotional, physically, or even sexually as a child and have dissociative identity disorder (DID), but not be a ritual abuse survivor. Either way, the child survived severe trauma in their childhood. Now a...

Bringing Inner Healing to Dissociative Identity Disorder Overseas

Image
This November 2017, M16 Ministries will be returning to Cambodia to work with orphans and equipping their counselors on Dissociative Identity Disorder. A team of three individuals, myself, Toni Taigen, president, and pastoral counselor of In the Potter's Hands , and my son, Josh, our administrative assistant, will be in Cambodia for five days to work with children who are survivors of severe trauma in this region. This trip is the follow-up trip from November 2015, where I met with local pastors and organizations and presented a seminar on healing fractured souls (dissociative identity disorder). The goal of this trip is to equip local counselors in Cambodia with the counseling fundamentals and practices we use at In the Potter's Hands for bringing an inner healing to survivors of severe trauma. We will be working with teens who have been traumatized from demographic abuse and slavery. If you would like to partner with us, we are seeking financial assistance in funds for ...

M16 Ministries Checking In August 2017

Some of you may be wondering where M16 Ministries went after we stopped doing Night Strike on the streets of San Francisco. Well, we didn't go away and close our doors. We received new marching orders, back in 2015 ( Night Strike Ministry is Coming to an End ) from God in the direction we were to pursue. Since 2013 God has had the ministry slowly re-align into Christian counseling, at In the Potter's Hands with Toni Taigen. In this role, M16 Ministries has been working with some very dark spiritual warfare cases. The ministry gets referrals from other churches and counselors on cases involving survivors of severe trauma, and ritual abuse. What one of my pastoral friends refers as sending me cases "above his pay grade". As the ministry went into darker waters of spiritual warfare, I became less and less unable to share testimonies. Oh, we've got testimonies, and they're amazing. I just can't publically share them as I could with Night Strike. These are ...

First Stages of Connecting with God and Trauma Survivors

Image
Most of my posts have been following the subject matter of connecting with God. Again, this is the learning season I am in right now with God.  The season is how to get fractured souls to connect with God. If you're new to this blog, M16 Ministries works with dark cases of spiritual warfare and survivors of severe trauma. By the time I start to work with survivors, many of them have had their faith brutally challenged and emotionally crushed. When working with these cases, it's a long-term commitment to working with a spiritually afflicted and fractured souls. The starting point in nearly all the cases I have worked with is determining where the soul in front of me is at in their spiritual walk. Having a soul, regardless of being spiritually afflicted, or fractured, must be able to connect with God in some manner to begin the healing process. Many Christians can't fathom the notion that a soul has endured such trauma that it has turned away from God. Some souls that recei...
