PT 209 | RML 684 ACTIVATING SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Dr. Kathleen M. Troll | 3 credits | 4 credits

“If you are a citizen of the kingdom of God through faith in Christ, you are automatically at war with the kingdom of Satan” (Prince, Derek. Pulling Down Strongholds, Whitaker House: New Kensington, PA, 2013, p. 8). This course will be a deep dive into what the believer needs to understand about personal and corporate spiritual warfare as demonstrated throughout scripture. Students will exam their own areas of influence and how to deal with the spiritual realm. Fasting, prayer, worship, and journaling will be practiced throughout the 10 weeks of activation. This class will meet 3 times during the quarter for 2 hours; the rest of the course will be completed independently.
