CTSP604‒ Advanced Engagement in Spiritual Warfare: Description

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course represents the capstone of the spiritual warfare curriculum, moving students from biblical and theological foundations into advanced, hands-on engagement with deliverance ministry. Drawing on Peter Horrobin’s The Practice of Deliverance Ministry, students examine practical methods for conducting deliverance through the local church and in counseling contexts — identifying demonic entry points, understanding how people become affected by demonic powers, and learning step-by-step how to minister freedom to those in bondage. Horrobin further addresses the often-overlooked practice of extending healing and deliverance to the cleansing of land and buildings.

C. Fred Dickason’s Winning the War Through Prayer anchors the course’s engagement in intercessory and spiritual warfare prayer as the believer’s primary offensive weapon. Together, the texts equip students with the discernment, skill, and biblical confidence to lead others into freedom — responsibly, wisely, and under the full authority of Christ.
