Equipping The Saints for Battle
Course Description
While there are many different types of courses on deliverance, the focus for most of them is how to help someone get free from demonic oppression. But getting free is much easier than staying free, which people learn quickly. There are two missing elements that are critical to see a person experience the real freedom God intended through Jesus Christ. They are understanding the condition a person comes in seeking help, and ongoing freedom is God’s real goal. We must realize that getting free is not the complete picture Jesus died for. In this course, author and teacher Tim Rudd will teach his book: For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh & Blood which will help students take ownership of their authority and power in Christ.Â
This course is structured into multiple sessions covering five key areas:
- Understanding your authority in Christ.
- Understanding the condition of a person upon entering.
- Discovering demonic presence.
- Deliverance.
- Ongoing freedom as God’s ultimate goal.
