Module 4 – Breaking Free from Strongholds
Thanks for signing up for Module 4 – Breaking Free from Strongholds. Here’s a brief intro video to acquaint you with the topic, and then a brief summary of the format we will be following.
Flip Classroom – Teaching Format
The format for these modules is what they call “flip-classroom.” Normally in a class you go to the lecture and then you do the homework assigned. A “flip classroom” style is exactly the opposite. The teaching is pre-recorded and you listen to it first as your homework, then you come to your online class and discuss what you’ve watched, ask questions and breakout into groups for further prayer and application. You will want to download the module notes and follow along. *** Download the Module 4 notes here ***DEEPER IN – Module 4 – Notes (pdf).docx
Each module is spread out into four sessions and will include about 1.5 hours of homework between sessions in preparation for a 1.5 hour Zoom class or small group to discuss and pray into your findings. Your class preparation will consist of 2 things: 1) Watch video teaching segments, 2) Do tasks – Which will include a variance of Bible reflection exercises, Journal Entries, Activation exercises and missional responses. You will be committing to a minimum of 12 hours for each module. Of course, you can do more – but that should give you a feel for what is involved.
What will you need? You will need a computer that has access to internet and has a camera and a mic set up so you can participate online. We are asking you to get a journal, have a Bible and follow along with the handout that you will receive online.
Summary of the fourth module
When Paul was giving instructions to the early church, he made repeated references for them not to be ignorant of Satan’s schemes. He especially taught that they were not to give the devil a foothold. In our western world where reason and intellect have ruled for centuries, we often think we are immune to demonic influence. For those that have lived overseas and come out of different religious backgrounds, this is not as much of a surprise. One of Satan’s biggest tactics is to tempt us to open doors to him so that his forces can come in and wreak havoc in our lives. One of his schemes is to get us to believe that the stuff we are wrestling with is all ours, leaving him to roam about undetected. In this module, we will examine Biblical truth about the spiritual realm and look into how it affects us. We will identify open doors that need to be closed and talk about how to get free and stay free.
