Knowing how to deliver people from demonic influence is a useful skill all Christians who work with unsaved people should have. Jesus set the example for us when He restored the Gerasene demoniac who was possessed by a legion of demons (Luke 8:26-29). The New Testament contains a number examples of deliverance that we can follow. Satan’s goal has always been to deceive people, keeping them bound in fear and blind to the gospel.
The subject material of this course is quite dark. Do not do it unless you're a mature Christian with a strong prayer life.

The first module is the foundation for the rest of the course and covers aspects such as cessationism, the flaw of the excluded middle, Satan’s tactics, names of the devil, perceptions of the spiritual world, Mana, animism, idolatry, magic, taboos, the evil eye, and lastly our authority and defense.
The second module is practical and are taught by missionaries who are currently ministering in Africa. Even though many examples come from Africa, it is important to understand that the principles are applicable to all areas of the world. The devil’s schemes are the same everywhere. This module covers subjects like how demons enter people, what keeps people from being set free, generational curses and the rights of demons.
The third module explains the conditions and obstacles for receiving deliverance, characteristics and preparation of the counsellors (the people doing the deliverance), and the process of deliverance, including deliverance of children, self-deliverance and mass deliverance.
This last module examines the impact that deliverance ministry can have on evangelism and discipleship - and the spread of the Gospel!
