M16 Prayer sessions are private and personal. We do not post details of extreme deliverance sessions involving demonic activity. We do maintain an up to date blog of the miracles, signs and wonders we witness and have been involved in praying for.
New Living Expo May 2010
This past May, we partnered with other ministers and attended the New Life Expo, a new age fair. Many new agers were touched by dream interpretations, words of knowledge and prophetic words from God. The New Agers were amazed at the accuracy and when they asked us if we were psychics we told them no, we are talking to God. The amount of people who were touched and some who changed their lives from the Holy Spirit encounters was incredible. The hottest thing to do at this new age fair was to get a Holy Spiritual reading from Christians. About 95% of the 150 people our teams ministered to had left the church or were flip-flopping. Some needed help from their own spirit guides. I thought it was fascinating the Holy Spirit sent his children with demonic problems to deliverance ministers at a new age expo. Lisa and I plan to attend more expos and more crazier events to bring the love of Christ people who need him the most. In August, M16 Ministries we will be going to Burning Man, in the Black Rock desert to minister to more new agers and pagans in a darker environment.
Deliverance
It's amazing how God's victories occur in ways we can't even fathom. Saturday 10/17/2009 For 4 months we prepared for a spiritual battle, prayer, fasting and intercession, for an individual whose will was completely copromised by the enemy. We showed up for battle on this morning expecting a fight. The enemy was present and chose not engage in the battle. In a previous meeting the enemy woudln't shut up. Multiple intercessor teams, M16 Intercessors and the intercessor prayer team from the young man's church, wore down the enemy over the months of battle and preparing. Kingdom of Grace minsitries worked with us on this deliverance prayer session. This individual on their own freewill accepted Jesus to be their savior. It was a peaceful time of prayer as the Holy Spirit took control of the situation. This person was set free.
Mission Trip to Guyana

New Living Expo
Saturday April 25, 2009 We participated with Russ and Susan Fochler's ministry, Light for Your Journey. They led a team of prophetic, dream interpretation and deliverance Christians attending the New Age Living Expo in San Francisco. This is a huge event for New Age attendees seeking a spiritual experience. Many published and recognized New Age psychics come to this event and charge on the average $50 for a spiritual reading. Christians, freely give and freely receive. We were on hand giving Holy Spiritual readings from God. We did have an optional donation but we did not enforce the collecting of the fee. We did this primarily because spiritualists were getting upset we weren't charging at the last event and the Light for Your Journey booth is extremely popular. Those of us who participate in hearing God and giving the guest a Holy Spirit-ual reading are there with no agenda. We're there to love on God's people and give a real Holy Spirit-ual encounter.
Lisa, myself and Holly Jean Merrell were on hand for the Saturday morning shift (10-4) to work the booth. I paired up with Susan Fochler to give spiritual readings. Lisa and Holly paired up as the other team when the Expo opened. Susan Fochler and I gave readings to about four women in our shift. The very first woman Susan and I gave Holy Spirit-ual readings to, the Holy Spirit already had her in the hot seat. I don't think the woman even had to time to sit down before she started to cry. The Holy Spirit revealed great things about her life and about her friend seated next to her. After about 3 or 4 readings in a row, Susan and I had a break from reading. Lisa and Holly were about to give another Holy Spirit-ual reading to a woman and her daughter. The woman was somewhat upset a tarrot card reader looked at her cards and refused to give a reading to the woman. The tarrot card reader even gave the woman her money back! (Don't you love it how God sets up an encounter?) So this woman and her daughter come into the booth and were seated with Lisa and Holly. Susan stepped out of the booth for a breather. I -for some reason- decided to pick up my tablet and start sketching. Lisa and Holly gave the woman, the mother, her Holy Spirit-ual reading and praying for healing. I was busy drawing a pegasus horse on my notepad. For some reason I was drawn to the notion that this picture had meaning to the mother. I don't ever draw winged horses. I had sketched a winged horse with a tail that flipped up at the end. I waited for an opening to hand the drawing to the woman. She said, "Wow, this is for my daughter." She handed it to her daughter who took it. The daughter's face crinkled like she was about to cry. She recomposed and said quietly, it was her tattoo. The girl was wearing a hoodie sweatshirt. I couldn't see her arms at all. She 'closed up' for a few minutes, cause I think she just didn't know what to do or think, so Holly and Lisa continued to minister to her Mom.
When Lisa and Holly were done, the daughter asked me how I knew. I told her I was listening to God. God showed me the picture and I sketched it out as quick as I could. The girl told us that her father had the pegasus tattoo and died a few years ago. She decided to get a matching one in memory of her father. She took off her black sweatshirt and pulled up her black sleeve to reveal her tattoo on her shoulder. It was EXACTLY like my sketch. --BUT a mirror image, It was so close, even to the size, the position of the winged horse and the flip of the tail, even the color of the ink pen I used. We all just went "WOW!! Oh, my God!" (No wonder she freaked!) She had wanted to know if God was real. Guess she got her answer!
The testimony doesn't end there! Susan Fochler, Lisa, Holly and I prayed for the mother for healing. Some spiritual activity intervened and made the woman quesey. So we stopped right away at the woman's request. When they left they were very HAPPY with the Holy Spirit-ual encounter they had. About 30 minutes later the same woman and daughter returned excitedly back to our booth. The mother went to another booth at the Expo to get her aura photographed. The photographer gets excited at the picture and tells the woman that the yellow and orange aura he photographed represents the healing of Jesus! The photographer's exact words!! Lots of other cool testimonies there too. I worked with another member of the Bay Area Dream Team, Cynthia, in the afternoon. We gave Holy Spirit-ual readings to published psychics. We broke the enemy's hold of generational curses off people, prayed for healing, life and longevity. Their experience really opened the eyes of deep spiritual people, people seeking to be psychics and Christian prodigals. This was a cool -no agenda -no pressure -no fire and brimstone -commitment free- event. The only purpose was to see people touched by God. We let the Holy Spirit convince them of the true value of their experience. What Russ Fochler said regarding the Light for Your Journey experience, 'The word at the Expo is that our booth is the "hottest" booth and the thing to do.'
