SID: Hello. SID Roth here with Michael Galiga. And when Michael was just five years of age he was playing marbles with his friends and all of a sudden he wasn’t there. He left his body. When you came back at age five what did you feel?
MIKE: I felt stronger. I felt much, much, much older. In fact, I said something that I couldn’t say a few minutes earlier, and that is I looked at my buddies and I said to myself, I said, “I’m no better than you, but I’m much, much different now.”
SID: So every six months God says to him, “Remember what happened when you were age five.” Then much later in life he’s in his office. He’s had a success in real estate and what happened?
MIKE: Yeah. This is about 48 years later. It was July of 2008. I’m in my office working on a real estate transaction and the presence of God shows up. It’s hard to describe what that’s like. But when it happens you know it. And it was very thick. It was very real. And I got out of my chair, and I went over and I felt like I absolutely had to lay down on the carpet in my office. And so I laid down. I laid down on this once before. I laid down on the carpet in my office with my arms out. And it was if words were pushed out of my mouth. And I said something, and I said, “God if you don’t tell me what happened and what you did to me that day when I was five, I’m gonna die on the carpet right now.”
SID: You really felt that way.
MIKE: I absolutely felt that way, yes.
SID: And what happened?
MIKE: Well I was journaling a few days later and I said, “God, I think I understand they me, but who are they?” And this is a direct quote, the best I can remember it. He said, “They, Mike, is everyone? The battle has intensified exponentially. The heavenlies have shifted and there’s now no more middle ground.” And at that, then the following few days he began to download to me almost like a fiber optic cable connection this battle plan on how to win every battle.
SID: Which I have in my hand right now, is the title of your book, “Win Every Battle: Conquering Fear and Claiming Victory for Success in Life”. You also found out that at age five, you were given a mantle. What was that?
MIKE: That was the mantle of leadership and at that point–
SID: That’s why you felt wiser back then.
MIKE: Yes, that’s why. Yeah, and I found that throughout my life whenever I was put in charge or volunteered to be in charge of something, that it came natural to me, and I was better than most people at it. More energy came into me than had to go out to accomplish something. And I look back at it now and I can see that.
SID: Some of the principles that you teach on, I mean, each one is a key and you put an amazing warranty, if you will, for major corporations.
MIKE: Yes.
SID: What do you challenge them with?
MIKE: Yes. And I really want somebody to challenge me on this. I dare people. It’s called the corporate challenge. Nobody has taken me up on this yet, but I know they will. The corporate challenge is as if there is large American corporation that is generally widely known and it’s dying, and we can think of some off the top of our heads, but we won’t name names. But if one of those companies will do what I wrote about in this book and they agree to do that I will go at my own expense to their headquarters and walk them through this process with a guarantee that their company will be revived.
SID: Michael, you talk about curses here. And curses pass on from generation to generation, to generation. And you talk about some of the companies, General Motors and Ford. And there was a story about that you talk about, about a car that I was not familiar with called the Tucker Torpedo. What was that?
MIKE: Yeah. The Tucker Torpedo was created by a man that used to work for one of the big three automobile companies, and it was really a breakthrough, highly innovative, technologically advanced automobile. And we don’t know, Sid, whether, you know, some of these things that were said about what maybe some of the big three did to Mr. Tucker did are true or they’re not true. The point is that every person in every company has baggage, things they’ve done wrong, things they’ve said wrong; things they’ve thought wrong. And when that happens it creates a break in their prosperity. And so if you–
SID: So let’s assume that what Tucker said was true. What did he say?
MIKE: Basically, that his company was poised to take a significant market share from the current automobile manufactures, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, and they didn’t want that to happen. So if that’s true, that would have hurt them and they, through political connections and lawsuits and different things, they basically strung him out and diverted his attention from his company into the lawsuits and the political maneuvering and testifying in Congress. And by the time he could get back to looking at his business, his company was bankrupt.
SID: Well it certainly makes logical sense to me. So assuming that was true and if it is true, his company was bankrupt. It is true that he had a superior vehicle. So it kind of rings a bell of truth to me. So assuming that’s true, what would someone like Ford or General Motors have to do to get that cloud off of them?
MIKE: Well, you know S, I’m a businessman. I’m not a prophet. I’m not a preacher. I didn’t go to seminary. I’m strictly involved in making large dollar decisions and I cannot afford a mistake. Okay. I want to clarify that. But with a company like General Motors, assume this was true, and I can’t prove it, but if it was true or something like it was true and there could be hundreds, if not thousands of these sorts of things that have to be dealt with. And when they’re dealt with and you go basically to your Maker and say, “Hey, I’m sorry we did that.” Well I didn’t do it. The guys that ran the company 50 years ago did it, but still, I’m responsible. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We’re turning away from that. Okay. We admit our guilt. We’re gonna move on. At that point those curses then are broken and the prosperity can flow. There’s a spirit called lack. It’s very real. I’ve experienced it, Sid. I’ve been on both sides of these deals. And so the spirit of lack has, because you’ve opened a door, you’ve opened that door of that curse because you’ve done something wrong that the spirit of lack comes in and chokes you. It chokes off your finances. It hurts retirees and pensions, and health benefits. All those things melt down. Everything goes wrong until that core thing is fixed.
SID: I’m speaking to Michael Galiga, and the principles that were downloaded to him from Heaven will cause people to win every battle, will cause you to win every battle. Be right back after these words.
