Understanding Spiritual Warfare and Inner Healing with Michael Norton
I just want to lay it out to you that Jesus Christ is the one that brings change.
Feeling confused about the difference between deliverance and inner healing? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', host Heidi Mortenson sits down with Michael Norton, an ordained spiritual warfare minister, exorcist, and Christian counselor. Michael's unique experiences range from working with cult survivors to performing exorcisms and witnessing angels and demons. Despite these intense encounters, Michael's core message is simple: it's all about having conversations with Jesus.
Michael demystifies complex spiritual concepts, explaining the difference between psychic and prophetic abilities and what a 'fear meter' in witchcraft means. He also introduces the concept of being 'slimed' and offers practical advice on what to do if it happens to you. One of the key takeaways from this episode is understanding when an issue is demonic versus behavioral. Michael points out that many misdiagnoses in ministry and counseling stem from confusing demonic possession with dissociative identity disorder (DID).

Whether you're dealing with personal struggles or seeking to understand the spiritual realm better, Michael's insights provide a fresh and enlightening viewpoint.
