Michael Norton believes the miracles and healings of the Lord Jesus Christ are every bit as true today as they were during the book of Acts and the age of the Apostles. When Michael, and his wife, Lisa were called into the Healing and Deliverance ministry, they wanted a name for the ministry that would reflect the miracles, signs and wonders they were witnessing through healings and deliverance from spirits in spiritual warfare. They chose the ministry name, M16, to give the ministry a warfare label as well as to reflect the scripture of Mark 16:15-18, which encompasses the mission of their ministry.
Michael and Lisa equip ministers and churches in healing, prophetic evangelism and spiritual warfare. They believe in energizing the body of Christ to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As well as equipping, Michael and Lisa firmly believe in deep sea fishing, going after the large big fish that many of the church would not consider going after, but they know God is actively chasing. Michael and Lisa move in the prophetic ministry and work with other prophetic ministers at New Age and Pagan Fairs, as well as going to Burning Man, where they see incredible movements, deliverances and healings by the Holy Spirit.
Michael is a successful software engineer who works in the bay area and Lisa is a work from home Mom and professional graphic artist. Michael and Lisa were radically drafted to the miracles ministry in 2007 when Michael was being used by God in spiritual warfare. This landed Michael and Lisa at Bob Johnson’s Miracle and Warfare meetings in 2008. Where Michael was given a prophetic bit of advice from Bob to join Night strike.
Now M16 has grown into an incredible spiritual warfare ministry, a book containing the M16 ministry has been published by Destiny Image, The Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, the Power to Pull the Impossible from the Heavenly Realm. And now M16 is starting up healing and curse breaking meetings, which Michael has decided to return to his roots –and aptly name, Miracles and Warfare, after Bob Johnson’s meetings that launched several ministries.
