Module 3. The War Is Real (Advanced Course)

Each session is broken into three parts

I) First, you as the Coach or group presenter present the next session’s topic from the Coach’s Manual. (VERBAL PRESENTATION). This has been designed in a manner that is easy to listen to and follow.

The Coach’s Manual provides a complete set of notes for teaching each topic. This is not a discussion time but a presentation of the topic. Recommended duration: 25-30 minutes.

2) Second, (PERSONAL DISCOVERY). Disciples will be required at their own pace to discover personally the topic you presented to them. This is done in an easy to follow format by filling in missing words from Bible verses and the other study notes in the Bible.

Each Bible verse is page numbered making it easy for the disciple to find the Bible verses. Expected duration: approximately 50-90 minutes.

The Coach’s Manual has the complete script for each session’s presentation, making it easy to present each topic. All the answers to questions in Personal Discovery Review are filled in making it easy to coach your disciples.

3) Third, at the conclusion of each session, a group of suggested questions for review and group discussion. Your disciples have a list of questions at the end of the session (PERSONAL DISCOVERY REVIEW) which you as the coach discuss to ensure your disciples have grasped the topic.

At the conclusion of each module– the coach presents a signed certificate of completion to their disciples.

Module Three is aimed at teaching and equipping the disciples to pray for the people they know who remain in the kingdom of darkness.
Firstly, it is designed to help them discover their own unique God-given gifts and how can best use their gifts as they serve God and help others. Secondly, this module teaches on spiritual warfare, combining prayer, worship, intercession and fasting as spiritual weapons against the enemy who has blinded these people.
The third aspect is to help the disciples apply the principles of prayer warfare practically by targeting three people in their circle of influence and praying for them over a 40 day period with the aim of seeing them come into the kingdom of God.

New converts from prayer evangelism

New disciples of Jesus should be the result of prayer warfare and evangelism. This is how new groups of brand new believers can be multiplied. Ideally, the person who prayed new believers into God’s kingdom would follow them up, and become their coach.

With the oversight of their current coach they would assist the new believer to begin Module One of the Basic Course while they themselves complete Module Four of the Advanced Course.
