It’s a new day, and even the heavens are declaring that earth has stepped from religion to outpouring. In this season, the Father is opening up the Ancient Paths to His sons who have submitted to the process of growth and maturity. As we walk with our Father on these Ancient Paths, we will discover revelation, mysteries, encounters, and spiritual technologies, many of which have been stolen and counterfeited by the adversary. And we will reclaim them.

In past seasons, many of God’s people have rejected supernatural experiences like transrelocation, out of body experiences, transmutation, and telepathy, viewing them as new age or occult practices. The children of God have remained locked in fear and immaturity, while those engaged in occult practices have become skilled at understanding the unseen world and harnessing its power for evil purposes. Sadly, these kinds of spiritual technologies, which are found in the Bible and throughout church history, are commonplace in the coven but are unheard of in the church. And because many believers have only seen the counterfeit, they are afraid of the real or have never even stopped to consider that there is a real - one that was actually created by God.

This book was written after many heartbreaking encounters with believers who were exposed to things that were new to them and who judged those things without even studying the Word, inquiring of the Lord, or hearing from God for themselves about them.

Perhaps you have encountered some unusual things on your spiritual journey and have shared them, only to have someone respond in fear that you were being deceived. Or maybe you yourself have questioned the legitimacy of encounters that seem mystical in nature.

In this book, you will learn that for every stolen counterfeit there is something real that was created by God, and you will learn how to tell the difference between them. You will see the pure, God-created version right in the Word of God, and you will see that they are the inheritance of every blood-bought believer! As you will see, every legitimate gift and encounter flows out of intimate relationship with our heavenly Father, with Yeshua, and with the indwelling Spirit of Truth.

One of the responsibilities of mature sons of God, whose senses have been exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14), is to take back these things that have been stolen, to enjoy them, and to use them to advance His kingdom.

Fear of deception is in itself deception. May these truths transform all fear into wisdom, humble dependence upon God, and holy passion, as you open your heart to the limitless adventures awaiting you in your Father’s heart and… on the Ancient Paths.

∗ Note: Throughout this book, I will use the names Yeshua and Jesus interchangeably.
