- Significance and the Problem of Drama
Listen here to this teaching. Today’s class is about drama and our need for significance and to be seen. I’ve been on quite a few mission trips overseas. This particular story happened in Africa, but I’ve seen it in several countries where the people are very poor. The little kids might own one pair of shorts, one good outfit for church, and maybe a broken toy or a flat soccer ball. One thing the little kids always wanted us to do was take their picture. They would say, “Hey mister, take our picture.” They weren’t trying to get money or anything else from us. They simply wanted to be seen—seen as significant. We were taking pictures with digital cameras, and most of the time they never saw the photo, and then we were gone. But to them, it was very important that we took a moment and photographed them. I saw this in several countries, and it occurred to me that this is a deep need in people. I want to talk about this because this need can bring us a lot of good, but it can also cause a great deal of trouble. All of us are born with a need to be seen and to feel significant. Many of us have seen a little baby in a supermarket trying to make eye contact with us—staring deeply, wanting us to look back. They don’t know us, and we don’t know them, but they want to be seen, and they want to matter to us for that moment. As we grow, if we’re left alone or our needs aren’t met, or someone is unkind to us, we begin to starve for attention and help. Even in a fairly happy family, the sibling pecking order can communicate that we are either less important or more important than our brothers and sisters. Even in a very good, healthy family, many of us don’t get what we truly need. God also places in us the need to be connected powerfully to Him. As we grow older, we shift from our parents—who often take God’s place poorly or occasionally quite well—to God Himself, who made us to need His perfect love. The angels and our big Brother, Jesus, are also part of His plan for our connection to Him and to heaven. Some of the dramas I’ve seen in my 30 years as a counselor come from a deep emptiness. And I’ve seen this emptiness in many people who have been regular churchgoers—some for 50 years or more. I have also seen groups of pastors, most over the age of 50 and many with white hair, vying with each other to be first among many—much like the disciples asking Jesus, “Who among us will be first in the kingdom of heaven?” The sad truth is: you cannot communicate what you don’t have. To be fair, they are saved, and they do lead others to salvation, which is very important. Some genuinely have connection with heaven and communication with God and with the angels. But this doesn’t happen often enough. So they can’t give the people in their care what they themselves don’t personally have. I’ll come back to this problem and its solutions in a moment. First, I want to describe the problem that emptiness causes. In my 30 years as a Christian counselor, a few of the dramas people create go like this: “God does not like me and is out to get me.” I had to laugh when I heard this because if God were out to get you, you’d be flat as a pancake—or have leprosy. And this person’s life was actually quite normal. Another person believed they belonged to a large, loving Southern family, even though the dynamics of that family were cold and distant. Another carried a gun to work every day to save coworkers from terrorists. After twenty years without an attack, that gun was probably rusty. Another believed, “Women will reject me very quickly,” even though he was educated, physically presentable, loved children, and made a good living. Another believed, “Everything always goes wrong for me,” even though they were healthy, earning over $100,000 a year, and respected at work. Another believed their mother—who beat them—and their father—who sexually abused them—were great parents. When we believe these dramas, we begin to create circumstances that prove them true. They manifest over and over again. Happily, there are some answers to this problem. Let me give a few. First, our Father, God, puts a need and hunger in us to reconnect with Him. This desire drives many of us to find Him, even if we were raised in a heathen environment—this would be my story. There was something in me that deeply wanted to connect with God, and thankfully, it worked. We are significant to Him—and that was true the moment we were born. Most people would fight to the death to protect a helpless baby who can’t even sit up. The significance of human beings is also shown by the fact that in every civilized country, it is a crime to kill a human being—no matter how dilapidated, even if they are homeless. God sees us and feels that we are significant. He is the main Person we are designed to connect with in order to feel that way. And when you feel that way, you will drop a lot of draining, energy-demanding behaviors. You will no longer need people to think you’re cool, powerful, good-looking, or highly desirable. And strangely enough, when you stop needing those things, people often heap them on you. It’s like when you don’t need a credit card—everyone wants to give you one. When you’re not trying to pick people’s pockets emotionally, you have room to actually see others as they are, because you’re no longer staring at yourself in the mirror of your own drama. If you ask God first, “Is this true about me?” He will begin unwinding those dramas from your soul and your life. A good Christian counselor can help you with this—just make sure they personally have a strong connection with God. A PhD will not necessarily give you someone who knows God. Learn to meditate. Get in contact with your spirit-man. Open the door of prophecy. Learn to quiet your mind. Learn to visit the Father—He will welcome you. Connect with the angels and heavenly beings who are your family. You are never alone. Never insignificant. As I said before, you were significant the moment you were born—and you still are. No less than the moon and the stars, you have a right to be here. That line from one of my favorite poems nearly made me faint when I was an insecure teenager, reading it for the first time. All these topics are taught on our website and blog, and in the School of the Four Living Creatures, they are addressed in different ways. Or you can book time with Nancy and me, and we can help you learn these things. Truthfully, these things are not learned in a week or a month—but what else do you have to do? The alternative is to play out endless dramas and fantasies that bring you nothing. Denzel Washington recently said that even though he is loved by many, is a very good actor, and extremely rich—none of it matters. Almost like Solomon, he said the only thing that matters is your connection with God. I thought that was pretty awesome for him to say. Reality becomes your greatest joy and power as you learn to rest confidently in the Lord who loves your soul.
- Spiritual Warfare
Praying Powerfully and Effectively for our Government and Country Listen to this teaching here. This teaching talks about ways to protect yourself and have an aggressive response to evil without falling into witchcraft. Currently we especially need to pray, not only for ourselves but for our whole country and all branches of our government. This technique of prayer is an effective way to stand up to the enemy safely. Some people spend their time being angry at God that He doesn’t change things as if he’s not a good enough Father, That is pretty absurd. People in this world have been given free will and they have a right to exercise that. It is not for us to determine what those limits are. I am going to teach you to take charge of your environment in a godly way that will deal with problems created by people’s choices without you overstepping and attacking their free will. When in prayer we try to manipulate or control others, that is we call charismatic witchcraft. As we discuss the problem of avoiding charismatic witchcraft or Christian witchcraft, I want to give you a powerful way to pray to change things that is actually an aggressive weapon. But it is not manipulative and won’t push us into the consequences of witchcraft. The consequences of witchcraft are extremely destructive. They are not worth having and must be avoided. Unfortunately, some Christian intercessors pray against people in ways that they should not. They suffer for it and get sick or suffer set backs and blame it on Satan thinking it is because they are such good prayers. The problems they suffer are mostly not Satan whose punishing them. It is a consequence from Charismatic witchcraft. God wants them to turn away from that destructive behavior. So I want to tell you about something the Lord showed me that has shown itself to be an extremely powerful way to pray. 20 years ago God taught me this. I've taught this to many people, and there are a couple things I want to say about this powerful way of praying. One is, if I was teaching them something wrong, the Lord has no trouble disciplining me and straightening me out. Throughout my fifty years of walking with Him, He has easily gotten my attention and let me know I must unequivocally quit something I was teaching or doing. And He does it in a way that I can't safely not listen. His discipline of me is strong and certain. One of the by products of hearing His voice clearly is it is serious to ignore His directives. The other part of this is that it's had really good consequences in people's lives, and the Bible does say, “Judge by the fruit.” So now I'll tell you the teaching. When you're praying a prayer to deal with a person responding to a person's behavior or how they're treating you—or a situation (a legal situation, a work situation, even a government situation). You can use this to bring considerable pressure to change things in a way that is positive, powerful and approved of by God. Remember, this technique is not for smaller or inconsequential things. Let me tell you a question one of my counselees asked me. She heard her husband speaking to someone on the phone in a gruff and hostile manner. She started to pray, “My husband speaks to people in a kind and gentle way.” This sounds good but it’s not. She needed to realize that she doesn’t own her husband but is in relationship with him. So the way for her to pray, is to say, “People in my home, speak in a kind and gentle way.” This will help her avoid Charismatic witchcraft. She makes a positive declaration that she knows lines up with God’s will. Let me give you an example. I was on a mission trip with Randy Clark, and it was my first one, I think. Those mission trips are quite challenging, and even though I'd been a pastor for 20 years, I had never been put before 500 to 1,000 people with a group of maybe 120 of us and just told to pray for healing for this huge group of people who, in Brazil, are extremely pushy and actually rush you. I'm a very big guy, and they would rush me and jam me against the stage so that I would have fallen over flat if there hadn't been a stage behind me to keep that from happening. One of the women on the trip was afraid before we got started because she didn't have a background of praying for healing for people, and none of the new people had a background for praying for so many. She was understandably nervous. Normally, when people are on the trip, particularly the people who've been on a trip before, they will say, “Oh, you're going to be fine. By the end of the night you'll have a whole book full of healings, and you'll see,” basically comforting them and telling them—truthfully—that they are going to succeed, because the Randy Clark method is the best method for healing that I've ever seen, and it works. A woman was pacing around the bus before we got off to go pray for people. This older woman was pacing around, very nervous, and another woman—who was actually a Christian counselor, but she was very negative in the way she spoke. She responded to the older woman, “You're pacing around like a little lost dog.” Instead of comforting her and helping her, she insulted her very much, and the lady took it really hard. I felt that was so out of line, and yet I had no positional authority on that trip. I probably had some of the most spiritual authority, but no temporal authority. On those trips, you can be sent home, but I wasn't one of the deciders of that. I would have loved to send that woman home. So I said, “Oh, no, this is not going to happen on my trip. At that point, I know the Holy Spirit inspired me.” I went up to the Lord and said, “This is your bus. You own the cattle on all the hills, and you own the sky and everything that's underneath it. And because of that, I represent you, so I own all those things. So I own this bus, and the rules on my bus are that people speak to each other in a kind way; people speak to each other in a loving way; people are considerate; people treat each other like they'd like to be treated.” Any biblical positive is fine for you to say. Don't deal in negatives at all. Don't say, “People don't speak in a mean way; people aren't mean.” Just say a series of positives over wherever you are—whether it's your business, your house, your home—it doesn't matter. You can do this within your home. I have clients who have had large trouble within their marriage and start to pray these positives and see their marriage partners changing in a positive way toward these biblical positives. Let's say there's another person there who has as much authority spiritually as you do, or even more. They're not really going to be against biblical policies happening in that territory, so you're not going to conflict with them. So anyway, I said that, and I saw shooting down the center of the aisle strands that looked like razor wire, about two inches thick. They were about 60 feet long—the buses were big; they seated 60 people each. Shining, kind of aluminum-colored, they moved through the center of that bus. The woman who had spoken to the older woman in that unpleasant way lost her voice for three days. That was the manifestation of her running into the barbwire. That calmed her down. When you effectively use barbwire, largely what happens is people will lose their voice or they'll get sick. We don’t hope for that or cause it as if we are cursing those people. No. It is our hope they will repent of their ways and agree with God. It's much more like a barbed wire fence, which is why I call it the spiritual barbed wire. The men who put up barbed wire are not out to hurt their cows. They don't want their cows to be hurt; they want them to be contained in a way that they can be harvested and sold. So you don't want sick cows. In the same way, we're not trying to hurt people, but we are making rules about what is permitted in our territory. And in the Bible, it says to go out and take territory in my name. Well, we don't do that by buying many houses or condos. We take territory by asserting God's influence wherever we are, whether it's at work or at home. I've had many people do this type of praying. Most of the examples have ended up with the people who are acting badly rubbing against this spiritual barbed wire. Sometimes people will turn away from their evil choices. But if not, they may lose their voice, or get sick, or something unpleasant happens to them. Once again, we are not causing that. It is not our fault. If they choose to rub against a barbed wire fence, then there are consequences to that. We're not rubbing it on them. I've never seen God rebuke people for using this or have a consequence. I have seen people repent and turn towards God’s way. People speak like they like to be spoken to. People speak in love. People's hearts are open. People are generous. People are kind—using all biblical positives. Okay, so here are two points I want you to remember. Number one: You can do this because Jesus owns everything, and you, as his proxy, can do it. Because he owns it, you own it. Point two: Only use biblical positives and say them in a general way. You say, “On my bus, people are kind.” You cannot say, “On my bus, Susan is kind.” If you do that, then you are doing witchcraft on Susan, because Susan has free will, and if she wants to not be kind, that is actually her right—even though it's an annoying right. So just use general terms. Do not name people specifically or even necessarily aim at them. This is the Lord’s Prayer in action—‘Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’ We declare what aligns with His will and apply it wherever we carry authority—in other words, in our territory.” There was a man who worked with a client of mine who was the head psychiatrist of a large hospital. He was not an intern but someone in residency, being taught by her how to be a psychiatrist, and he was showing up very inappropriately dressed, unshaven, and he was actually giving prescriptions that were counteractive, one against the other. She was in charge of him—basically the buck stops with her. She told me about it, and I said, “Do the barbed wire.” In just a few days he showed up properly dressed, clean-shaven, sought out her advice, asked her for guidance, started running his prescriptions by her before he gave them, and actually turned into a pretty good psychiatrist. That's was a happy outcome. I have a few little hints about this. Let's say you're a gossip, and you pray that “in my world, people are careful with their speech.” Well, the barbed wire will get you just as easily as someone else. It doesn't care; it's just a fence. So don't pray for things you can't live with, because it doesn't matter who gets the barb, so to speak. But you're not actively cursing people. I've never gotten a consequence for teaching this, and I've never seen a consequence for someone who used it. I encourage you—this is a much better way to pray actively without doing witchcraft against someone who's behaving in a way that absolutely should not be tolerated. Declare God’s will over people and situations. Lately, the warfare in our country has escalated within our government and within the population as a whole in a way that we can no longer sit idly by. At the same time, we don’t want to fall into witchcraft with our prayers. This method is extremely powerful, though it sounds benign and perhaps even weak—but it is not. Here’s what we should do. Let me give you some suggestions. Say: In my world, the people in the House of Representatives are sane, truthful, kind, and they make good decisions. In the same way, pray directly for the Senate: The people in the Senate have common sense. The people in the Senate have the country’s best interests at heart. The people in the Senate love our country. The people in the Senate are honest. They tell the truth and have goodwill toward all the citizens of our country. The laws they make are for the good of everyone. If you apply this, then you can also pray for the whole country. The confusion and the mist of lies in so many of our fellow citizens’ minds need be broken up. Pray people in my country are honest. People in my country hear and recognize the truth. They are moved by the truth. They are moved by love, and they love our country. In this way, we can participate powerfully in our government and in the well being of our country instead of just complaining about it. We are a government by the people and for the people, and so all of this is our territory and concerns us deeply.
- Suggestions for Cleansing Your Bloodline
By Dr. Nancy Moelk We all carry an inheritance from our ancestors. Our DNA reflects the choices, tendencies, bondages, and strengths of all those who came before us. As the Holy Spirit leads me, I address everything in my bloodline that has welcomed sin into my inheritance. A familiar spirit is a demon that has recognized family patterns passed down through the years. It attaches itself to these habitual sins and keeps the pressure on to continue the family tradition of sinning, generation after generation. To deal with the iniquity in my bloodline, I use several approaches. One is to pray bloodline prayers, especially those addressing the different types of covenants. The book I use for this is Redeeming Your Bloodline: Foundations for Breaking Generational Curses from the Courts of Heaven by Hrvoje Sirovina and Robert Henderson. I also use a prayer breaking every Masonic curse spoken by any family member who was a Mason. Additionally, I rely on a book that addresses specific generational issues passed down through sinful behavior. The book I use for this is Dangerous Prayers from the Courts of Heaven that Destroy Evil Altars: Establishing the Legal Framework for Closing Demonic Entryways and Breaking Generational Chains of Darkness by Dr. Francis Myles. If I notice something like resentment or bitterness common in my family, I create my own dangerous prayer using the patterns given in the book. Some of these prayers I say multiple times as led by the Holy Spirit. It is not enough just to say prayers; there needs to be a time period of allowing God to deal with corresponding belief systems and habitual responses or behaviors that help support the demonic stronghold. Another approach I use is based on Robert Henderson’s books on operating in the Courts of Heaven and addressing curses. I think I have read at least six of his books and have said the prayers in them many times. When I started doing all these prayers, I did them simply by faith. Over time, I began to see and feel the Courts of Heaven and had a sense that significant changes were happening within me. Another important spiritual practice is recognizing the relevance and power of communion in setting me free from inherited sin and destructive elements in my DNA and inheritance. Taking communion is receiving the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ into our bodies. His blood is effective for destroying any legal hold that sin—ours or our forefathers’—has over us. His body replaces our brokenness with His wholeness. Not just when we partake of communion, but even when we eat or drink anything, we can speak declarations over ourselves about how these elements are reordering, healing, and restoring our DNA, our bodies, our beliefs, our emotions, and our choices to come into Divine Order. We can do this every day. The more often we do this in faith, trusting that our declarations along with the power of the blood and body of Jesus are effective, the more we will sow health and immortality into our bodies. Here are some sample declarations: I receive the DNA of God as I take this communion (food or drink). I apply God’s DNA to my bones and to my marrow and command them to live. I speak over my genetic record and command it to align with that of Jesus. I apply the blood of Jesus to all patterns of iniquity. I accept God’s light overshadowing me and causing me to be joined with the Lord and to be one spirit with Him. We can also ask the Holy Spirit to send angels to recalibrate our ability for faith, hope, and love back to the innocent, childlike state we once had. Angels are ministering spirits sent by God to assist us in aligning with His purposes. By inviting their help, we open ourselves to Divine intervention that can restore the purity and simplicity of our faith, renewing our capacity to trust, hope, and love as children of God. Further, we can use our breath to remind us of constant communion with God. Every breath we take is from Him and is full of His life and presence. For more information on using communion to cleanse DNA, here is a link from the Mike Parsons website which inspired my information on this topic. https://freedomarc.blog/teaching-series/communion-prayer/ Other resources: Look towards the bottom of this list of books to find those pertaining to bloodline cleansing.

- Man's Desire | Firehouse Ministries
Man's Desire by Dr. Nancy Moelk teaches how our desires are part of being made in God's image and how to recognize the benefit and harm they can add to our lives depending on how we chose to meet them. Lesson 2: School of the Man Man's Desire by Dr. Nancy Moelk Are our desires good or bad? Did you know that God is desire driven? We have desires because we are made in his image. They are not good or bad just a part of who we are. In life, we need safe people around us to help us to sound out what we want and what we don't want. It is a process of self-discovery every child should have. If we didn't get it in childhood, then we will need to develop it later in life. In this class, Dr. Moelk also discusses what are the two things that cause a soul to expand and how Jesus Christ is an example of this. This class will increase your ability to bring your “real self” before God. For an in-depth discussion of Man's Desire, click here for "The Evolution of Human Desire."
