BC-112: BELIEVER’S AUTHORITY, DEMONOLOGY & DELIVERANCE


About this course

God originally designed man to have dominion on the earth. However, man lost his dominion because of sin that corrupted the world in the garden of Eden. The Lord Jesus came to purchase our redemption and lost authority on the Cross of Calvary. In this course we learn about the victory that was won for us through the Cross. We understand that satan is a defeated foe. The course also addresses a believer’s authority and how it can be exercised. Apart from these key truths, we will also cover the origin and operations of Satan and his demons. This will equip the believer to be prepared against the schemes of the devil. The believer has been provided weapons of warfare that can be used to enforce victory. Each of these will be discussed in detail. Overall, the course intends to help every believer live as an overcomer!

This course is an introduction to the authority and dominion of a child of God. Walking victorious against our enemy, Satan is possible by understanding and enforcing the victory that the Lord Jesus has won for us on the Cross.

The course also draws our attention to the origin and workings of satan and his demons. This understanding will help a believer to be prepared and act against the schemes of the devil.

Apart from these truths the course also equips a believer with the understanding about the weapons of warfare which can be used to overcome the enemy. We are victorious in Christ Jesus!

This is an instructor-led course. Recordings of classroom lectures will be released weekly. Complete the objective type questions, quizzes and other assignments that are given as you progress through the course.
