Welcome to the IMITM Correspondence Program
The IMITM Correspondence or Home Study Program is the foundation of
our end-time training center The International Miracle Institute in Pensacola,
Florida. The Lord has given us a mandate to train up 400,000 miracle workers –
laborers for the end-time harvest of souls. IMI is dedicated to the integrity of the
Word and the move of the Spirit. You will receive revelation of God’s Word and
an impartation of the Spirit of faith that will equip you to live and move in the
supernatural, and live the life of victory you are called to.
The last move of God is God moving His people! As you grow in the
things of God through the International Miracle Institute, you will find a fresh
love for the Word of God and a hunger for the things of the Spirit. Whether you
are called to the five-fold ministry or to advance the Kingdom of God in your
circle of influence, the International Miracle Institute will equip you to be all that
God has called you to be.
„Today is a day of impartation... Such as we have, we are going to give unto
you, because there is a torch, an impartation that gives you
a supernatural ability to contend for the great things in God.”

How to Use the IMITM Correspondence Program
This IMITM Correspondence Program is a Life-Changing Bible Training Course designed
to equip believers in the Word of Truth and the power of the Spirit. It is a valuable investment
that will bring change to your life. How much change is up to you? What you achieve out of this
program is directly related to your consistent personal study commitment.
Recommended Study Procedures: We recommend that you listen to one CD a day. The IMI
course is on the go where you can do it at your own pace. Due to the busy lifestyle of our
modern day living, we recommend that you make IMI a life-style where a CD a day will change
your life forever. Below are a few recommended ways to listen to a CD of IMI a day:
IMI is ―on the go‖. Make your schedule around IMI instead of the other way. Below are a few
recommendations. You can listen to IMI:
1. In your car
2. During your devotional time
3. In the morning before you leave the house
4. At night before you go to bed
5. While working out in the gym/ outdoors
6. While cooking or cleaning your house
7. While at work (if it applies … example business owners) etc
What about my study time with IMI?
You can set a part a morning or night time daily to work on the course book. Above all, we
would like IMI to change your life.
The program is divided into six sessions which are: Heavenly Identity, Authority, God
Man, Great Faith, Anointing & Miracles. Each lesson within each session varies in length from
45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the lesson material. Together with your paperwork, some
lessons can be done in 1 hour while others can take up to 2 hours.
After you finish each session, there is a test to complete. You will find all 6 tests at
the back of your manual. When you have completed each of them, please mail each test as
you go to: IMI Registrar, 421 N. Palafox St., Pensacola, FL, 32501. Alternatively, you can
email us at [email protected] for online tests. Simply complete the tests and email
them back to us in the same format.

The following outline will help guide you through the lessons.
STEP 1. Complete the six sessions in order.
STEP 2. Each lesson revolves around the lesson objective. Ensure you understand the
lesson objective before starting the lesson.
STEP 3. Carefully read the lesson overview. This provides a background for the lesson and
should prepare you spiritually for the remainder of the lesson. Keep in mind that most
scriptures in the overview were not directly quoted but only referenced for the sake of
brevity.
STEP 4. Complete the key scripture portion of the lesson before listening to the tape. The
key scriptures form the foundation of the lesson. Look each scripture up in your Bible. We
recommend using a King James Version. Once you have read the scripture, check the box
next to that scripture. Some lessons may repeat previously used scriptures. Ensure you look
them up each time they are used.
STEP 5. Once you have completed the key scriptures, listen to the tape or CD for the
lesson. Use college rule paper for notes so that you can keep your notes in the course binder
behind the appropriate lesson.
STEP 6. Alter finishing the CD; answer the review questions at the end of the lesson. Write
the entire scripture. Remember, these questions form the basis for your examinations.
STEP 7. After completing the review questions, the lesson overview, your notes, and the
review questions, to ensure you have a thorough understanding of the lesson. Confirm that
you have met the lesson objective before moving on.
STEP 8. After each lesson, complete the practical application. Make an effort to determine
how you can apply the principles in the lesson to a situation in your life.
STEP 9. After each lesson there is a recommended reading list. The reading list for each
lesson in a session is the same. These books, by anointed men and women, provide
additional study on related session subjects. They are available through our bookstore.
STEP 10 .To receive credit, be sure to send us the completed Registration Form included

Heavenly Identity
Section 1 : Lessons 1- 4
Heavenly Perspective
Objective:
To understand that as a Christian, you must maintain your heavenly identity.
Overview:
The Word says that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Until we get out
of the natural, and into the spiritual, we will not realize our full potential as God’s children. You
must understand that the old man is dead and that you are transforming into the image of God.
The Word tells us that we are the body of Christ, that Christ lives in us, and that we have the
mind of Christ. You must begin to identify with Christ. The only way to identify with Christ is
through the Word of God. Your mind will become renewed by hearing the Word of God every
day and acting upon the Word you heard. You can not live off yesterday’s meal, strength, or
anointing.
As a believer, you must have an uncompromising revelation of why Jesus died for you.
The Son always walked in victory; by His crucifixion and resurrection that same provision has
been made for you. His victory at Calvary is your victory by faith. You must never let His death
arid resurrection become irrelevant to you.
As human beings we have our own personalities, but as Christians we should
continually desire the characteristics of Christ. God can not, and will not change your will. Until
Page
3
you completely surrender, you will not be able to walk in the full provision Christ already paid
for.

current situation in your life. On a separate piece of paper, describe the situation and note the
date you began applying the principles. Practice these principles until they become ingrained in
your daily walk. You must continue to stand on the principles in God’s Word in order to see the
desired results.

Heavenly Identity
Section 2: Lessons 5-7
New Creation Realities
Objective: To understand the realities of your new identity in Christ.
Overview: The Apostle Paul said it is not I who lives, but Christ in me. The substance of a new
Christian is a new spirit and a new quality. When we are born again, the first thing to change is
our spirit. The old man dies, and we are reborn of the Spirit of God. This new Spirit allows us to
walk in agreement with God. As we grow in the Word, and by our faith, our spirit man begins to
mature. Our spiritual relationship with God will grow in proportion to our faith. The new quality
that permeates us is our new nature and identity. The next thing which changes is our mind. The
Word tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Our mind is renewed by the Word
of God. Our souls are made of three parts; the mind, the will, and the emotions. Until you renew
your mind through the Word, you will not be able to change your will and emotions. Without
changing your will and emotions, you will not be able to get your flesh under control. The more
we transform our nature, the closer we become to the identity of Christ.
As Christians, we need to understand that we have been forgiven for all past sins; we are
dead to sin but alive to righteousness. That means we are in right standing with God. If we slip,
we do not lose our salvation. On the contrary, the Word tells us that we have an advocate to the
Father. The devil will try to bring guilt and condemnation upon you; however the Word is clear.
There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the
Page 7
Spirit. A complete understanding and rhema knowledge of the Word will free you. The Words
says that you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. You must continually look at
yourself in light of your new nature and identity. Your salvation is complete, but your spiritual
growth is dependent upon the effort you make to change your mind, will, and emotions. As you
allow the Word to work in your life, you will begin to take on the nature of Christ.

Heavenly Identity
Section 3 : Lessons 8-11
Your Heavenly Identity - Authority
Objective:
To further understand your relationship and identity in Christ.\
Overview: The Word says that I will lay a stumbling block before the people. Paul says that
Christ was that stumbling block. Jesus simply was not what the Jews expected. The Jews saw
Jesus as a threat to their religious traditions and customs. Jesus tried to tell them that religion
without a relationship with God is useless. Because they did not know God, they tried to be wise
in their own eyes. The Word says that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in
the power of God.
As born again Christians, we must be constantly aware of the price that Jesus paid for
us. If we take our eyes and our thoughts off of Him, we make His death, burial, and resurrection
of non effect. If we operate outside of God, we will be entering back into doubt and unbelief
which is sin. We must give God full reign as we are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. You
must develop that relationship so that you can walk in agreement.
Paul said, I travail until Christ be formed in you. You can not form yourself and Christ
at the same time. You must allow Him to do the work. The Word says that He is a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him, to those who earnestly desire Him. His hope is that we can learn
Page
12
to walk in agreement so that we can do His will. Many Christians act like they don’t know what
God’s will is for them. Jesus said, My will is to do the will of He who sent me. As my Father
sent Me, so I send you. Our job is to simply do the work of Christ on earth. We learn His will
through His Word. If we do not develop our relationship with Him, or if we take our eyes off of
Him, we can not walk in the provisions He made for us to do His will.
The old man is dead; he died at the cross and was buried with Christ. Therefore, you
must completely disassociate yourself from him. When condemnation comes, remember who is
bringing it upon you. By receiving Christ, we are seated with Him in heavenly places. It is Christ
in you, the hope of glory.

Heavenly Identity
Drawing From Your Heavenly Account
Objective:
To understand the relationship between faith and hope.
Overview: The Word says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not yet seen. Our faith is the tangible substance of the things that we are hoping for. It is the
confident assurance that God will do what He says He will do. Before you can take money out of
the bank, you must build up your account to have something to draw from. The same is true for
your heavenly account. How much you invest will dictate how much you can draw from. The
first principle is that you must make your deposits in heaven, and not on earth. Never allow the
natural realm to be your source or you will be dictated by natural circumstances. The Word tells
us to seek the kingdom of God first, and all those other things will be added unto us.
You must also understand that you can not have faith in the present if you do not have
hope in the future. Your continual hope must be in the promises which have been given to you.
As you know, the old man is dead! You must place the life you have lived behind and place the
hope of God’s glory in front of you. You must continually press toward the high mark.
Hope is the anchor to your destination in God. It is the thing which keeps your soul
from wavering. If we put our hope in man, sooner or later we will be disappointed. However, we
know that God is not a man that He can lie: therefore, we can confidently know the answers to
Page 17
His promises. By faith, we must apprehend the promises which are before us. Hope is the
destination, the mark, that our faith is driving us toward. To get there, we must remove any doubt
and confusion. We must take our eyes off the seen (our circumstances) and look toward the
unseen through the eyes of faith. You must come to a place in God where the Word becomes your
answer. God can’t and won’t give you what He has for you until you let go of your past. You
must get out of your familiar territory and walk toward the hope of your high calling. In order to
be counted as a friend of God, you must diligently pursue Him, It is your faith that will draw you
to the hope of His promises. Once you have an unmovable revelation of the fact that faith is the
substance of things hoped for, then you will be able to make spiritual withdrawals.

Heavenly Identity
Section 5: Lesson 15
Maintaining Your Heavenly Perspective
Objective:
To understand how to maintain your heavenly identity.
Overview:
God commands us in the Word to go forth and preach to all the nations. Just as
Nehemiah built a wall for the people, God commands us to build a wall; a wall of believers. The
church is not a building: it is the body of Christ. God has sent us to go forth and build the body
upon walls which we will not come down from. Today, there are too many inactive Christians
celebrating the by and by because they are ignorant of the power and authority God gave them to
do His will on earth. If they only knew that it just takes one anointed man to change the world-look what Jesus did.
We all have a specific role. Something will remain undone unless we do our part. We
can’t disqualify ourselves through compromise. Your compromise and indecision can affect
many others, as well as yourself. When you are called of God, you must do your part. Do not
disqualify yourself from your rewards.
God told us to feed His sheep and has equipped us with special gifts to do this work.
We must be cognizant that there is an enemy who will try to stop us: but we also know that no
weapon formed against us can prosper. In general, there are two types of spirits that will try to
Page
22
come against you. First, there is a spirit of opposition. The enemy will only come against you full
strength when you are trying to do God’s will. When He sees that you are concerned about the
welfare of God’s children, He looks for an opening. Second, is the spirit of the goodness of
Jehovah, or a spirit of religion, which operates through ―religious‖ people. Do not be fooled by
the name. On the exterior, they are nice people; however, they are really wolves disguised in
sheep’s clothing. They are nothing but religious hypocrites who criticize you for preaching
God’s Word. Do not be afraid of either of these spirits. The Word says that all who live godly in
Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Jesus said, they will persecute you because they persecuted
me first. God will use you in the midst of the enemy to do His will.
Like Nehemiah, you must learn to develop a heart for the people; and you must not
compromise. Once we learn to make the people disciples instead of dependents, the wall will be
strengthened.

Heavenly Identity
Section 6 : Lesson 16
Fulfillment of Your Destiny and Promotion
Objective: To understand how to fulfill your destiny and allow God to promote you.
Overview:
The Word says that promotion does not come from the east, west, or south. It is
God that puts one down and raises another. The greatest revelation you can have is that your
strength comes from God who provides a supernatural result for you; not from man whose
results can only be temporary. To make it to your time of promotion, you must make it through
your time of testing. The good news is that God has provided the means for you to make it
through your trials.
As we learned in the previous section, you will be persecuted because they first
persecuted Jesus. We all must learn to fight the good fight of faith. God wants to use every one
of us; not just the five fold ministry gifts, to build the wall. The devil doesn’t want us to be used
by God, and will attack us once we begin to do God’s work in earnest. The Word says we will
overcome the devil because we are not ignorant of his devices. We know that the Word says we
have the mind of Christ and are more than conquerors. The good news is that the devil was
defeated almost two thousand years ago. The promotion is ours when we learn to consistently
walk in the victory Jesus achieved at Calvary.
Page 27
We must learn to keep ourselves so that the wicked one touches us not. We must be
sober, on a constant watch, because the adversary the devil as a roaring lion seeks whom he may
devour. We have the shield of faith to put out every fiery dart he shoots our way. Remember, no
weapon formed against you can prosper. Once you learn to live and act on the Word of God, you
will walk through the door that no man can shut. Promotion comes to those who have an ear to
hear and are not afraid to walk by faith. You just need to do you part. Be narrow minded; your
promotion depends on your ability not to compromise the Word. As you draw nigh to God, the
Word says He will draw nigh unto you. If God is for you, who can be against you? Remember,
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Do your part, and as Psalm 75 says, you
will be the one He promotes.

Authority
Your Delegated Authority
Objective:
To understand your delegated authority and to walk in the power of the name of
Jesus Christ.
Overview:
When Jesus first sent the seventy out, He gave them power and authority over all
the power of the enemy. God is a God of integrity. The Word says that God is not a man that He
should lie. Your foundation as a believer must be built on the integrity of God’s infallible Word.
He says that heaven and earth will pass away but His Word will never pass away. You must
know God by the promises contained in His Word. Your authority works when you have a
revelation of God’s Word and are obedient to that Word.
The Word tells us that greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world. God has
given us authority to deal with the god of this world. The devil is no match for the authority that
Jesus has given you. However, before you can speak God’s Word toward your circumstances,
you must firmly believe in the integrity of His Word. God says that His Word accomplishes what
it was sent to do and that it never returns to Him void. God says to draw nigh to Him and He will
draw nigh to you. He also says to resist the enemy and the enemy will flee from you.
The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life. A
Page

major key in exercising your authority is to speak in line with what the Word of God says. The
best way to resist the enemy is by renewing your mind and building your spirit with the Word.
Once you renew your mind and speak the Word toward the enemy, he will flee from you.

Authority
Delegated Authority - Meaning and Purpose
Objective:
To understand the purpose and benefits of your authority in Christ.
Overview:
Just as a police officer has a badge to signify his authority, Jesus Christ has given
us His name as our badge of authority to enforce power over the enemy. The Greek word for
authority is ―exousia‖, while ―dunamis‖ is the Greek word for power. Exousia is the badge of
your office and dunamis is the power behind that authority. As ambassadors of Christ, we come
in the power and authority of the kingdom we represent. We must walk and talk in line with the
Word of God to enforce that authority. To delegate means to commit and entrust as an agent. We
are agents of God, commissioned to carry out His mission on earth.
The believer has complete authority over his realm of jurisdiction. The Hebrew word
―tsvah‖ means to command, appoint, or charge. As believers, we have authority to command the
devil out of our realm of jurisdiction, and to appoint or charge the elect angels to move on our
behalf. The believer has the right to hear God and the authority to appropriate His Word to bring
about supernatural results. The benefit of your delegated authority and power is for you to reach
your goal, rise up and live the high call, and to finish your course.

Distractions can cause our priorities to end up as casualties. The three major areas of
distraction the enemy uses are food, entertainment, and weariness. These distractions can get you
out from under the grace of God and His protection. Once you are out from the covering of the
Word, you cannot effectively operate in your authority.

Authority
The Power of His Name
Objective:
To understand the power behind the name of Jesus Christ, and how you operate in
the power of His name.
Overview:
The Bible says to fight the good fight of faith. In order to fight that fight, Jesus
gave us His name, or power of attorney. For a believer to move in the power of that name, his
foundation must be built on the rock, or the Word of God. The Bible says my people perish for a
lack of knowledge. In order to reject conditions and circumstances contrary to God’s Word, you
must pursue the revelation, knowledge, and truth in the Bible. The Bible, or Word of God, is the
blueprint necessary to fight the good fight of faith.
Demonic entities are rebellious renegade spirits. These spirits will push you and illegally
trespass on your territory. You must know that in the name of Jesus, these renegades have no
rights. The Bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. We
operate in and through the name of Jesus in prayer, dealing with demons, and in administering
healings. The name of Jesus will not work to enforce a non biblical petition.
The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. A
Page 11
believer’s authority is directly linked to what he has heard from that Word. There are four
qualifying principals to walking in that authority. You must hear the word, you must know it,
you must believe it, and finally, you must act on it.
Agreement with God is imperative as we are called to be co-laborers with Him. Amos 3:7
declares can two walk together unless they be agreed? We cannot walk with God if we are not in
agreement with Him. Jesus said in Matthew 18:18-20, whatever you bind on earth, shall be
bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. If two shall agree
on earth as touching anything they ask, it shall be done of them by my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. God
tells us that if we know His Word and act on it, then He will confirm His Word with signs and
wonders in the power of His name.

Authority
Authority in the Name of Jesus
Objective:
To understand the authority in the name of Jesus.
Overview:
Today, many Christians live beneath their rights and privileges because they don’t
have a revelation of what they are entitled to. Galatians 4:7 says we are no longer servants, but
sons of God; and if we sons than we are heirs. We are not the Son of God, but we are sons. We
are seated with Christ in heavenly places and entitled to the inheritance that Christ left us. One of
the most important things that Jesus left for us is His name. Mark 16:17-18 says that those that
believe in Christ can do the following things in His name: cast out devils, speak with new
tongues, drink deadly poison and take up serpents and not be harmed, and heal the sick by the
laying on of hands. The Word also says that His Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
That means what Jesus said two thousand years ago is as valid today as it was then. We have the
provision to go to the Father in the name of, on behalf of, or in the stead of, His Son. Jesus said
that whatever you ask the Father, in my name, He will give you. There is authority in the name
of Jesus!
The Lord gave us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. He said that whatever we bind or
loose on earth shall be bound or loosed in heaven. The condition is that you must have a divine
revelation of the power behind the name of Jesus. The Word says that if God is for us, who can
be against us? The Word also says that we should not give place to the devil, and that we should
Page
16
fight him with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. However, the sword will not
work when it is mishandled (misquoted), or swung in doubt or unbelief. You must take up the
sword and fight the good fight of faith with the whole armor of God, and when you have done all
to stand, then stand in faith with patience. It is through faith and patience that we inherit the
promises.

Authority
Pursue what Belongs to You
Objective:
To know who we are in Christ and what He has done for us.
Overview:
The Word says that if God is for us, who can be against us? There is someone
against us. It is a weak, lame, defeated enemy. He will take any territory that we allow him
access to. The good news is that he has no new tactics or strategies. We are told to be strong in
the Lord and in the power of His might, and that we must put on the full armor of God. Once we
have a full revelation of who we are in Christ and what He has done for us, we can deal with the
enemy every time from a position of authority and with power.
The enemy is not only after your salvation, but he is also after your righteousness or your
right standing with God. His tactic is to try to put enough doubt, unbelief, and confusion in your
life, that you will backslide out of salvation. The fact of the matter is that can not happen. If we
know that we have the mind of Christ; that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus;
that God is not the author of confusion; and that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love,
power, and a sound mind; then will we be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. His number
one tactic is your mouth. When he gets your confession out of line with God’s Word, he forces
you to lose territory. You must encourage yourself daily in the victory you have already won
through Jesus Christ. Until the people of God receive this revelation, they will live beneath their
Page 21
privileges and provisions God has made for them through the victory at Calvary. We must
constantly pursue the truth and fight the good fight of faith.

Authority
Building on the Word
Objective:
To understand why you must build your foundation on God’s Word.
Overview:
Jesus likens a man who hears and does the Word as a wise man, one who is built
upon a rock. It is the solid foundation of the Word which will determine how we stand in these
perilous times. Your salvation is assured, but the victorious life you choose to live on earth will
be totally dependent on what you do with God’s Word. There is much more to salvation! The
Word says, as God is, so are we. Without a solid foundation built upon the Word, how can we
expect to be like God?
When the sun is shining and there is plenty of money in the bank, it is easy to praise God,
but what happens when we face a storm and the bill collectors are knocking down the doors?
What are you doing with the Word; where is your faith? A comfortable Pastor in a comfortable
church will allow you to believe that God is dealing with you, or that you are suffering for
Christ. That’s baloney! No where in the Word of God are we told that we must suffer for God.
The victory at Calvary was complete! Nobody, including you, is required to suffer. But without a
foundation of the Word, and its proper division, you can be leading a life way beneath your
privileges. Where you go to church, and what message you hear, can mean the difference
between life and death on earth. Some would have you believe that we go through seasons. This
Page 25
too is untrue. Christians are not seasonal. The Word tells us to be instant in season and out. We
do not live by bread alone but by the Words which proceed out of the mouth of God. You can
not maintain a wrong diet and live a long and healthy life. You have a responsibility to build and
maintain the foundation in your own life. Take responsibility for the food you are eating. Test the
bread the preacher is feeding you to make sure it is from the bread of life.

Authority
Agreement
Objective: To understand the need to walk in agreement with the Word and Spirit of God.
Overview: The Word of God asks can two walk together unless they are in agreement? The
simple answer is ―no‖. The Word also says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the
Lord. If we are in line with the Word, we will be in agreement with Him. When the devil speaks,
he will try to tell you something that is not in line with the Word. He will speak to you through
wrong opinions, lying thoughts, and ill symptoms. Once you recognize that this is not in
agreement with the Word, you can take authority over the situation.
Not only can division come between man and God; it can also come between men. One
of the devil’s tools is to cause division and rift within the church and between married couples.
Once two or more are in disagreement, there can not be agreement with God’s Word. The vision
for the home and the church is the same. We must be in agreement with God’s Word. When we
walk in disagreement, our confession can not line up with God’s Word. Once our confession
goes awry, we allow the enemy access to our territory.
It is our agreement that forms an impenetrable barrier to the enemy. The Word says that
one will put a thousand to flight, while two can put ten thousand to flight. What do you think a
Page 29
unified church will be able to do? The anointing will flow when there is unity and agreement
among the brethren. Before we can agree with someone we must find out where their faith is.
The church needs to be in agreement with the pastor’s vision.
We need to make a decision to be educated by God and His thoughts. We are told that we
have the mind of Christ and that we should be of one mind. The Word says that when two agree
on earth as touching anything it will be done. When married couples and churches learn to come
in agreement with the Word of God, no weapon formed against them can ever prosper.

Authority
Walking as a Mature Christian
Objective: To understand how to walk in maturity.
Overview: People are paying thousands of dollars
don’t understand that the ultimate price has already been paid. Think of all the money they could
be investing into the kingdom. The ultimate privilege for the Christian is knowing where and
with whom they will spend eternity. But what happens in the meantime? How do we fight the
forces of evil and control our destiny? The simple answer is we don’t. When we became born
again Christians, we made a conscious decision to put our lives into God’s hand. We agreed to
put our lives into His hands.
While we are on earth we are told to fight the good fight of faith. God would not tell us to
fight if we did not have someone to fight against. There is an enemy out there roaring around like
a lion seeking whom he can devour. The reason he roars like a lion is that he is a fraud, he has no
authority or power. There is only one lion and that is the Lion of Judah. Once we become saved
we can walk in the power and authority God has given us. We must understand God’s promises
arid our privileges. The bottom line is that we must mature as Christians. Part of this process
calls for us to completely surrender and cast all our cares upon Him, because He cares for us.
Page
34
The Word tells us to be sober and vigilant. We need to be ever mindful of the enemy. In
your mind, you must consciously decide to draw near to God and to resist the enemy. In a mature
Christian’s walk, there is no middle ground or fence riding. God would rather us be hot or cold,
not lukewarm. That is not for His benefit, but for ours. He already knows where we stand. The
only thing fence riding will do is allow access to the enemy. As a mature Christian, you need to
be prepared to fight the good fight of faith, be ever mindful and vigilant of the wiles of the
enemy, put on the full armor of God, and finally, you must cast all our cares upon God for He
truly cares for you.

God Man
Renewing Your Mind
Objective: To understand the importance of renewing your mind.
Overview: This teaching emphasizes certain fundamental concepts and principles necessary to
renew your mind. The moment you pray the sinner’s prayer, and believe it in your heart, you are
born of the Spirit of God. Unfortunately, our mind doesn’t transform at the same time. God has
given each of us a soul which is made up of your mind, will, and emotions. God’s will is for all
to be saved, but He will not force us to make that decision. Each of us has a will and we must
make this personal decision. It is the same will that must be used to renew our minds. God tells
us not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed, or changed by the renewing of our
minds through His Word.
The Word tells us to love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all
your might. Every thought in your being must be in line with the Word. Just think for one
second; it only takes one negative thought in your mind to not commit to God with all your
mind. Therefore, we know that the battle must be in the mind. The enemy will constantly try to
put doubt into your thought life. He knows that just as you chose to accept Christ, you can
choose to reject Him. The enemy will try to meet you where you are weakest. If we change the
Page
3
way we think by what we read, what we view, and what we speak, we can restrict access to the
enemy.

God Man
Renewing Your Mind
Objective: To understand the importance of renewing your mind.
Overview: This teaching is meant to emphasize certain fundamental concepts and principles
necessary to meet this sections objective. God’s ultimate desire is to completely own us--spirit,
soul, and body. God can not fully inhabit our minds unless they are completely renewed. The
Word tells us that we must gird up the loins of our minds, and to have a sober mind. Because we
have a new nature, the Word tells us that we have the mind of Christ. As we learned in the last
section, the mind is the enemy’s battlefield. It is our responsibility to restrict access to the
enemy, and to win that battle. We must implant the nature of Christ by completely transforming
our minds through the Word of God.
The enemy will try to put flashbacks of the old man into your thought life. You must be
strong and remind him that not only are those thoughts from an old man, they are from a dead
man. God has completely cleansed us of our sins. You must make a conscious decision to let go
of the past and reach for those things hoped for ahead. You must reach forward and press toward
the mark of the high calling. What you think will determine what and how you will do it. If your
thought life is in line with the Word and God’s vision, you are free to do His will. Remember not
Page

to lean unto your own understanding or intellect, but trust God, and He will direct you in all your
paths.

God Man
Preserved Blameless
Objective: To understand how you are held blameless in God’s eyes.
Overview: The Word says that Jesus came to give life, and to give it more abundantly; while
the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy. The devil will do everything he can to steal your joy
and destroy your happiness. His number one tool is a past that he tries to blackmail you with.
What the devil refuses to admit is that he was defeated two thousand years ago at Calvary. When
you accepted Jesus and were born again, you were forgiven once and all for every sin you ever
committed. You now have both the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus flowing within you. The
Word says that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, and that you are cleansed by the
blood of Jesus. We also know because He no longer remembers our sins arid iniquities, and that
there is no condemnation for the past actions of those that are now in Christ. Therefore, we know
we are cleansed of all unrighteousness.
This must become a rhema in your spirit and the truth in your life. Man is a triune
being; spirit, soul, and body. God has taken care of your spirit. You must take responsibility for
your soul; your mind, will, and emotions. Once you begin to renew your soulical being, you will
be able to get your flesh under control. You must learn to stay in communion with God. He told
Page 13
us to eat the bread of life and drink from His cup which are both contained in the Word. The
more we regenerate ourselves through the washing of the Word, the healthier we will become.
Again, this is a personal decision, and must be a continual process. As you transform your mind,
you will begin to yield and allow God the access He needs to do His will.

God Man
Preserved Blameless
Objective:
To understand how you are held blameless in God’s eyes.
Overview:
Jesus gave His whole life for us; spirit, soul, and body. That is exactly how He
wants us; spirit, soul, and body. We know that we have a new spirit man, but we must renew our
minds and take control of our bodies. We must make the choice to live in the spirit and to walk
by faith. Paul said that he died daily to Christ. We need to decide each day that we will let Christ
rule in our lives. The Word must get into our spirit, then into our minds so that we can pray it
back to the Father. If you consistently wait until you need help to pray, you have waited too long.
As you begin to fill your spirit and mind with the Word, you will project an image of
God. If you don’t do this, then you will be non committal and indecisive. The mind of Christ is
based on the Word of God. If you do not fully transform your mind, you will fall beneath your
privileges by allowing access to the enemy. The God kind of man only speaks to the enemy from
a position of victory. On the other hand, an unregenerated mind will consistently battle
frustration. As you keep God on your mind and heart, He will keep you and lead you unto all
Page

truth. If your mind, will, emotions, attitudes, and convictions are on God, you will not have
second thoughts, and you will never fail.

Your High Call
Objective: To understand how to live to your full potential in Christ.
Overview:
It is God’s desire that we sell out, or yield ourselves completely to Him—spirit, soul, and
body. However, to often Christians focus on natural problems. That is just another tool of the devil. The
devil will do all that he can to take our central focus away from God. We must be aware of his wiles so
that we can properly defend ourselves. We must remember that these natural problems are a truth, a
temporary state, but not the truth. The truth is contained in the Word, and we are told to worship God in
spirit and in truth. Jesus tells us not to be anxious over natural circumstances. He says that even the lilies
of the field are clothed in majesty, and then asks if we are not more important to the Father than lilies that
are here today and gone tomorrow. We are told to seek first the kingdom of God and that all these things
will be added to us. Does the Word not tells us that all our needs will be met according to His riches in
glory?
The kingdom of God is not a faraway place, or an incomprehensible concept. On the contrary,
the kingdom resides within us. All God wants us to do is to trust Him and yield ourselves so that we can
have an intimate relationship with each other. Not only does He want to work in our lives, but He wants
to prepare us to preach His Gospel to save more souls. To develop this relationship, He has provided
access to Him, through the Holy Spirit, in the name of His Son. Our relationship with God is developed
and strengthen through reading the Word, meditating upon it, quoting it, praying it back to the Father, and
Page
22
singing psalms and praises to Him. To make this relationship work, you must allow God to be more alive
in your life than you are.

Transformation of the Mind
Objective: To understand how to renew your mind through the Word of God.
Overview: Decisions we make must be in line with the responsibility and revelation we learn
according to the Word of God. God wants believers to know what He says and to be totally and
completely dominated by His influence. Our decisions and our actions are a direct link to our
His report is His Word and His promises. The steps to success depend on what you do with the
Word that you know. The Bible talks about ever learning and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth. Your thought life is the key to your destiny. What a man thinks about is
what he becomes. If a man yields to the report of the Lord one day, and the report of the world
the next, he is unstable.
A double minded man will receive nothing from the Lord. The world’s way of thinking is
diametrically opposed to the way of God. The Spirit, or anointing, will always work with the
Word. If a Christian is believing for something, he must stand on God’s promises; and not be
moved by the circumstances. What you fill your mind with will determine how far you go in
God. One key to transforming your mind is to meditate upon the scriptures. This keeps the

Faith That Prevails
Objective: To understand the basic concepts of faith, and how to allow faith to work in your
life.
Overview:
This subject consists of many lessons. Each lesson builds upon the last one. There
may be some repetition; however, this is necessary to emphasize certain points and to meet the
lesson objective. The first principle that you must firmly believe is that Jesus and the Word are
synonymous, or one in the same. The Word says that without faith, it is impossible to please
Him. When we became Christians, we made a personal decision to yield ourselves to Christ. To
completely yield ourselves, we must allow the Word to be the ultimate authority in our lives. We
must renew our minds with the Word of God, then speak His Word, and finally, we must believe
that His Word will do what it is sent forth to do. This requires a decision on your part. God says
that He would rather us be hot or cold, but not lukewarm. Once you believe the Word, you will
be a product of the Word.
As a believer, you must invest in your faith. You must guard your heart from trouble,
and your spirit with all diligence. The Word says that whatever is not of faith is sin. Therefore,
you must disallow worry, fear, and unbelief. You must cast down evil imaginations. If you do
not, you will defile your body and spirit with your tongue. The quickest way to stop your
Page 3
miracle, and allow access to the enemy, is to engage your tongue while waiting for the
manifestation of God’s promises. The Word says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not yet seen. Your impatience can block your faith.
There are four fundamental principles of faith. First, you must recognize God’s promises. To
know His promises, you must know His Word. Second, you must believe that He will keep His promises,
because He is not a man that He would lie; therefore, His Word will accomplish what it is sent to do.
Third, you must decide to receive the faith He promises. This is the same faith used to believe that we are
saved and that we will live eternally with Him in heaven. And finally, you must act upon His promises by
consulting with Him, and acting upon His Word. The Word says that faith without acts is dead, and that
we must be more than hearers of the Word.

Faith That Prevails
life.
Overview: We will continue to discuss the principles necessary to allow faith to work in your life. We
learned in the last section that to allow God’s Word to work in our lives we must have a firm belief that
the Word will do what it says it will do. In order to allow the Word to work in our lives, we must know
the Word, and be able to rightly divide it. Let’s just take one example. Does the Word say money is the
root of all evil, or does it say the love of money is the root of all evil? God’s written word is meant to
provide us power. God did not intend for us to misquote His Word, or to use it out of context. God wants
us to know His Word, believe it, and to use it in faith.
We know that without faith it is both impossible to please God and to receive anything from
Him. Therefore, it is imperative that we control what we think and what we say. If we renew our mind
through the Word, we will have control over our confession. Once we control our confession, we will
speak God’s promises instead of providing access to the enemy. We must learn to clean up our personal
lives, especially in the areas of what we say, and what we see and do. To completely yield ourselves, we
must learn to guard our hearts, our minds, our mouths, and our eyes.

Faith That Prevails
life.
Overview: We will continue to discuss the principles necessary to allow faith to work in your
life. To be victorious in your Christian walk you must have an intimate relationship with Christ.
The only way to know Him is through His Word. You can’t know God, unless you know His
Word, and believe that He is faithful to His Word. We know that faith is the substance of things
hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Our faith and hope can’t be in our material
possessions. It is easy to believe in things you already have. That’s not faith. It takes faith to
believe in those things we are waiting for--those things that we do not yet possess.
God has given us His Word so that we can receive His divine nature. By constantly renewing
our minds through the Word we spiritually strengthen ourselves. The Word injects us with His spirit, His
presence, and His mind. The Word says that this Book is life to those who read it. Only when we learn to
put God’s written Word into our spirit, and confess His Word in our speech, will we have His divine
nature.
When we have God’s divine nature, we are entitled to His promises, and can thereby forbid
access to the enemy. However, when we walk and talk in the flesh, we speak God’s promises in reverse.
Page
12
If you aren’t talking God’s Word, then you aren’t thinking them. If you aren’t thinking God’s thoughts,
then you are acting in doubt and unbelief. God says that whatever is not of faith is sin. Once you are in
this position, you have allowed access to the enemy. Remember, what you put in your heart will come out
of your mouth. We must make a conscious decision to line our confession with the report of God, and not
of the enemy.

Great Faith
Faith That Prevails
life.
Overview: We will continue to discuss the principles necessary to allow faith to work in your
life. The foundation of the Christian walk is the Word of God. A Christian who is not using the
Word as his or her foundation, anchor, or rock, is living beneath their rights and privileges. We
are told to have a good report, and not to murmur or grumble. Murmuring is not of faith. God
tells us that whatever is not of faith is sin, and that the wages of sin are death. We can be saved,
but yet live a life on earth ravaged by the enemy because we allow him access into our daily
lives by what we think, say, or do. It actually takes faith in reverse to believe the devil.
God has given us the power and authority to tread upon satan, ―the god of this world.‖ By
placing God’s Word in our hearts, and minds, and confessing His Word, we can keep the enemy
under our feet at all times. We must never say that we don’t believe in this scripture or that
scripture. The Bible is God inspired in its entirety. When you speak against any scriptures, you
are putting limits on God, and stopping His ability to work in your life. You will break a hedge
of protection and provide access to the enemy.
Page
16
There are two areas that can hinder every believer’s walk. First, is your knowledge of the Word.
God tells us to renew our minds. If a person chooses not to renew his or her mind, he or she is
not fully cognizant of their rights and privileges. God says that His people perish for a lack of
knowledge. God’s promises are only effective if we know them. The second area is unbelief. We
already know that unbelief is sin. We know that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. When we accepted Christ, we accept the Word in its
entirety. The Bible is not a Word that was applicable two thousand years ago. God tells us that
His Word was the same yesterday, today, and forever. Instead of choosing not to believe
scriptures you don’t understand, you must accept them by faith.

situation in your life. On a separate piece of paper, describe the situation and note the date you began
applying the principles. Practice these principles until they become ingrained in your daily walk. You

Great Faith
Faith That Prevails
Objective: To understand the basic concepts of faith, and how to allow faith to work in your life.
Overview:
We will continue to discuss the principles necessary to allow faith to work in your
life. Romans 1:16-17 says for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and that the just shall
live by faith. Faith is an aggressive act and requires work on your part. You can only know Jesus
through the Word of God. You must hear the Word, meditate upon it, and then boldly pray it
back to the Father. Your active prayer combined with patience and confident assurance in God is
the act of faith He is looking for. As I have repeated, without faith, it is impossible to please
Him. He can only shape those who have completely yielded themselves to do His will.
There are still those who seek to please God by their performance. This philosophy is
based on the law and is doomed to fail. We will continue to come short of the glory of God
unless we believe that we are saved by grace through faith and not by our works. The only thing
God wants us to work at is our faith and confident assurance that His Word will do what He says
it will do. He tells us not to be just hearers of the Word but doers, and that faith without works
(meditation and prayer) is dead.

Faith and Impartation
Objective: To understand how faith is imparted to you.
Overview: An impartation is the transference or sharing of something. To impart something you
must have agreement at both ends. To receive anything from God, you must be in agreement with
Him. The quickest way to be in agreement with God is through His Word. Your success will
depend on who you keep company with. You can choose to spend your time with the Holy Spirit
or spirit filled Christians, or you can choose to spend time with people who will pull on your
anointing.
What you receive from God is totally dependent on where your faith is. We know that we
walk by faith and not by sight, or how we feel. Your faith can be affected in a number of ways.
There will be days when you don’t feel like praising God, and that is exactly when you should
start praising Him. This is the time when you need to stir the gift that is within you. Regardless of
how you feel, you must remain in the Word, or in communion with God. The Lord has not given
us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind, so that we may come boldly to the
throne of grace to obtain mercy in our time of need. It is when you don’t feel like praising God
that you need to go the throne room.
Page 25
The Word tells us that we must be more than hearers of the Word; we must be doers. Your
actions will be based on what you believe. As a believer, you should come to the point where you
can launch out into the deep with God. As Paul said, you must die daily to Christ. Once you rid
yourself of doubt and unbelief, God is free to work in your life.

Great Faith
All Manner Of Prayer
Objective: To understand the principles behind effective prayer.
Overview: Prayer is your spiritual communion with God. As believers, we must learn to pray in
faith, nothing wavering. The quickest way to spoil your petitions is to ask in doubt or unbelief.
Why bother asking for something you don’t believe you will ever receive? During prayer you
must cast down all imaginations that are not in line with God’s Word. You must yield yourself
intellectually, physically, and spiritually. The Word tells us that if we draw nigh to God that He
will draw nigh unto us. As we completely yield ourselves, we allow God the access He needs to
work in our lives.
Some Christians become disillusioned if they don’t see the answers to their prayers right
away. Therefore, you should continue to thank God until you know that you know that you know
that you have received the answers to your petitions. You should pray until you are fully
persuaded that you have heard from God that it is done. We must ask in faith, nothing wavering.
The Word tells us that the effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much.

Anointing
Miracle Anointing
New Testament Miracles
Objective: To understand how to flow with the anointing.
Overview: The dominion you maintain on this earth is directly related to how you allow God to work
in your life. To see God’s miracles work in your life on a daily basis, you must stir up the anointing every
day. There are two kinds of anointing; there is the anointing within, which we receive when we are born
again, and the anointing upon, which we must receive to do the works described in Luke 4:18. Even Jesus
could do no mighty works until He received the anointing. Jesus said, as my Father sent me, so I send
you. If we are to do the works Jesus did, we need to receive the same anointing He had.
The anointing is the agent God uses to bring about miracles. It is something we must seek every
day. You can’t operate today off of yesterday’s anointing. The anointing can only come from an intense
relationship and presence with God. The Word says draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
This relationship comes about by spending time in the Word, in meditation, and in praise and
worship. If you walk in line with God’s Word, you will have fellowship with Him. The Word says that
those that are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God, and He has promised each of His sons an
inheritance.
Page
3
The anointing will stop when you stop pursuing your relationship with God. You can not walk in
the flesh and expect to be anointed. You must diligently guard your heart, and your thought life, so that
you can walk by faith and not be distracted by the circumstances of this world. Jesus told us that we will
do even greater works than He did. When the Word becomes a revelation in your life, you will receive the
anointing in a greater measure. The measure you will have will be the measure you contend for.

Anointing
Teaching, Preaching & Healing
Objective: To further understand the anointing and its application.
Overview: Almost every account of Jesus in the Gospels deals with how He preached, taught,
and healed the sick. Very rarely was He not successful; but what would you expect of God? One
account says that He was unable to do any mighty works because of their unbelief. The problem
was their unbelief, not His. Why was He so successful? Because He never failed to operate
without the anointing. Luke 4:18 says that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him. When the people
saw Jesus, they saw God. Those who received Him were healed. To do great works for the
kingdom of God, we need to ask for, and receive the same anointing. Not everyone will receive
us; however, when they see the anointing working, and the power of God acting through us, we
will succeed in our mission. On the other hand, if we are not called to a certain office, but we
pretend that we are, we are responsible for the actions that occur. The Word says do not be
deceived, God is not mocked. It also says that we will give account of every idle word we speak.
The only way some people will see Jesus is when they are introduced to Him through
us. The Jesus they meet will be the Jesus living in us as believers. To borrow a phrase from the
world, we only get one chance to make a first impression. People will not listen to you if they
Page

think you have the same problems as they do. If people see that you are sick, living in poverty, or
sin, they are going to ask you to explain the good news behind your Gospel. The enemy wants
you to misinterpret the Word. His greatest weapon is to cause confusion within the body of
Christ. Confusion leads to unbelief, doubt, and double mindedness. All of these are forms of
separation from God; otherwise known as sin.
Your job is to prepare yourself to be used. You must rid yourself of man
doctrines and traditions and make the Word of God alive and powerful in your life. You must be
able to teach and preach the Word from an experiential plane, and not a theoretical plane. God
works in the supernatural, not the text book. When you are preaching and teaching Christ with
uncompromising faith, and moving in the anointing, you will do great works for the kingdom of
God!

Anointing
All About The Anointing
Objective: To understand what the anointing will do to the yoke.
Overview: Throughout the Gospels we see an outstanding performance of God
the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. He came to utterly destroy the yoke of the enemy and to
demonstrate the supernatural gift given from God Almighty, which is available to every believer.
Jesus filled the eternal plan ordained by the Father to make way for the anointing to dwell
on earth in the hearts and lives of His many brethren. This mighty anointing empowers believers
sacrifice and was resurrected into Heaven where it is still speaking from the mercy seat.
The blood of Jesus and the anointing of God are inseparable. When mixed with the
believer’s authority, the power of darkness is shattered. Doing greater works than Christ and
shedding light on the works of the enemy, gives glory to God and provides proof that Jesus is not
only alive but is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Page 13
The anointing or power of God is designed to flow with divine leading, producing signs
and wonders that bear witness to the Word preached. The Anointing identifies man as an
ambassador of God and will manifest as uniquely as an individual is from one another. It will
provide distinctive expressions of God’s love and mercy as true disciples of Jesus go about
preaching the Word with signs following.
The blood of Jesus backs up the anointing or power of God. The Word activates the
anointing and destroys the power of darkness. In Jesus
announce This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. During His temptation in the
wilderness, Jesus, the Word of God, used the Word to defeat Satan at his treachery. That same
Word is alive and available to every believer today.

Anointing
Faith, Prayer & The Anointing
Objective:
To understand the relationship between faith, prayer, and the anointing.
Overview:
There is a very important link between faith, prayer, and the anointing. The
anointing which is the agent we use to do God’s work, will not fall without prayer and faith.
Prayer is our communion with God and is based on our relationship with Him. If we do not
develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, our prayer life will suffer. Our faith is the
uncompromising assurance that God hears us when we speak to Him in prayer, and that He is
true to His Word. The Word says we can ask for anything and it shall be given to us. When we
pray in faith, we will receive the anointing.
Christianity rejects everything but your identity in Christ. Your identity and image of
Christ is formed by the renewing of your mind and thought life. As you fully develop the mind
of Christ, you can approach the Father in prayer and faith with your new nature. You can then
claim what is rightfully yours according to the new covenant. Anytime you pray in agreement
with the Word you are praying in faith, and anytime your faith is working in prayer, the
anointing will be present.

Anointing
The Anointing in Relation to Your Faith
Objective: To further understand the relationship between faith and the anointing.
Overview: God will not do anything without the presence of the anointing. His Word says that
it is not by might, or by power, but by His Spirit. If God is going to move in your life it is going
to be by His Spirit. The Word tells us that we will reap what we sow; therefore, a person’s
spiritual harvest is totally dependent upon what he sows. If we don’t know how to be strong, then
we aren’t making the necessary spiritual investments. On the other hand, if we commit to making
the spiritual investments, God will reward our faithfulness.
We know that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The more time we spend with
Him by reading His Word and in prayer, the sooner we will be able to walk in spiritual
agreement. The Word says can two walk together unless they be agreed? When we begin to trust
in the Word, and not lean on our own understanding, we will allow the anointing to move in our
lives. To walk in agreement with God you must uncompromisingly know the provisions that
have been made for you. You must understand what happened at Calvary and where you are
positionally seated. When we seek God for His provisions, we must to do so in the complete
assurance that He hears us, and that He will do what His Word says. Once you are in agreement
with the Holy Spirit, you will see the anointing moving in your life.

Anointing
Working and Living in The Anointing
Objective: To understand the principles necessary to walk in the anointing.
Overview:
God wants His power and His Spirit to be influential in every step we take. A
person who lives in God’s anointing will receive His benefits spiritually, physically, mentally,
intellectually, emotionally, and financially. Because we are born again believers, we are entitled
to each one of God’s blessings through our inheritance. It is God’s intention that we flourish
and blossom in His presence. God’s benefits are only available when you are mindful of His
presence, or His anointing power. If you are mindful of the natural, you get angry, you lose your
temper, and you push the anointing away. Only you can decide if the driving force in your life
will be God’s Spirit, or the flesh. What you are mindful of, will determine your disposition and
position. The person who comes to God believing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him, will reap the benefits of His promises. The manner in which you approach God
determines what you will receive. The flow of the anointing in your life will be hindered when
you: are not focused on the truth, no longer live by biblical principles, don’t cooperate with His
Spirit, and when you live by the dictates of this world.
The Word tells us that we are branches and that we must stay connected, or abide in the
Page 27
vine. To receive God’s blessings, we must feed on every word that proceeds out of His mouth.
Not only must we listen with our ears, we must also ready the ears of our spirit man. There are
three types of branches. First there are those who will abide in the vine. These are people who
have yielded, and refuse the report of the world. Their spirit is ready to receive. When they call
upon the Lord, they know His presence. Then there are those who don’t abide in the vine.
Thank God for salvation because they will learn what they missed out on when they get to
heaven. And finally, there are those who abide in the branch part time. The Word said I would
rather you be hot or cold, but not lukewarm. These people are walking in frustration. The
problem is not with God; it is with man!

Anointing
The Anointing
Objective: To understand that God does everything through the anointing.
Overview: The Word says that it is not by might, nor by power, but by His spirit; or by the
anointing. The anointing is the empowerment or the endowment to carry out God’s will. It is the
avenue of God’s communication, or the channel of His blessings. God can be present; yet
miracles can be absent when we don’t recognize the purpose of the anointing. The anointing can
create something out of nothing. Even Jesus had to wait for the anointing. Jesus never did any
miracles or confronted the enemy without the anointing. Every believer needs the gifts of the
spirit and the anointing. God only moves in cooperation with His Word. Therefore, the Word +
the Spirit (or anointing) = your miracle.
The Bible says that every good and perfect thing comes down from the Father of lights in
whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning. The purpose of the anointing is to take
what is in the invisible realm and to bring it into manifestation in the natural realm. As an
example we can look at the Virgin birth. While God is sovereign, He still needed a holy vessel to
cooperate with the anointing. Mary had a will and could have told God to find someone else.
However her words were be it unto me only alter she asked God how this would happen. It is not
a sin to ask God how He plans to do something. The moment she agreed, she took the limits off
Page
32
of God, and cooperated with the Holy Spirit, or the anointing. When we take the limits off and
cooperate with the Spirit of God, we will walk in the supernatural and see miracles arid healings,
and the greater works that Jesus said we would do.
Believers can sometimes bring about their desires through natural means. However, God
sent His power, or the anointing, to work with His Word to validate and to bring about every
promise. The person who receives his miracle through his own works, stands to lose it, while the
person who receives his miracle through God will keep it.

Anointing
William Branham
Objective: To further understand the anointing by examining how it worked on one pioneer of
faith.
Overview: As Christians, we are called to serve in the army of Christ. We need to continually
prepare ourselves to do God’s work. The Word says that many are called, but few are chosen.
Why is that? For one thing, not everyone is called to serve in the five fold ministry. Many fail
because they try to build upon the gift (themselves) instead of the Word of God. Others fail
because of a perceived lack of results. You will always fail if you try to do it your own way, or in
your own strength, or if you simply don’t have the patience. The success of God’s Word is not
dependent on your personal results, but on God’s inspired Word. When we study other
Christians, we want to keep in mind that it is not their personal success stories that we are
interested in, rather it is how God moved in their lives.

Anointing
Corporate Anointing
Objective: To understand the importance of the corporate anointing.
Overview: Amos 3:3 asks, can two walk together unless they be agreed? In the Gospel of
Matthew, the Word says that if two shall agree on earth as touching anything that they ask, it
shall be done. The Word then says where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am in
the midst of them. The Word also says that one can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten
thousand to flight. Think of what an entire church walking in unity could do. Better yet, how
about the entire body of Christ?
The Word promises if we walk together, we will have unlimited power and authority in
the name of Christ. We are members of a single body and should learn to flow in cooperation
with one another. Can you imagine a body with the left leg going in one direction and the right
leg in another? That’s what happens in the spiritual realm when we don’t walk together in
agreement or unity. How does this happen? Unfortunately, it usually happens when individuals
put their personal ambitions above the corporate body. They become proud, they don’t yield to
authority, they become offended, and so forth. All of these factors cause division and break down
the corporate agreement. But that church seemed so nice. The problem is that there is so much
confusion and strife in the spirit realm, the Holy Spirit doesn’t feel invited. Don’t be deceived,
Page 39
God is not mocked!
How do we rectify this problem? If each one of us would only learn to submit ourselves
to our authority. Why do so many people attach negative baggage to the concept of submission?
Submission is nothing more than fulfilling your commitment to Christ, walking in harmony, and
yielding to the authorities in the Church. If you can not yield to the authorities in your church, it
may be time to determine if you need another church. If you have made a habit of switching
churches, it may be time for some personal introspection. On the other hand, authority should
never be used as a form of bondage or control.
If the body would learn to fulfill their destiny in Christ rather than their personal
ambitions, we could walk together in the Word, or in agreement. Righteous Christians will
maintain their status by fellowship with God and one another. Fellowship is nothing more than
the linking together of hearts, and you can’t have fellowship with God if you don’t have
fellowship with one another. The Word says to confess your faults to one another, and to forgive
each other when you stand praying. The Word is clear. How can God hear our prayers if we can’t
love or forgive one another? The Word says that we being many are one body in Christ, and
every one members of one another. We are inextricably linked together! When we truly walk in
agreement, the power of God will flow in our lives without measure.

Anointing
Take the Limits Off
Objective: To understand how you can limit God.
Overview: The Bible says let God be true and every man a liar. God cannot violate His own
Word! He is always true to His Word. If something is not going right in your life, you can’t
always blame God. Besides being immature, this is nothing more than doubt and unbelief. If this
is doubt and unbelief, it cannot be of faith. By now, you must know that God’s ability to do
miracles in your life is directly proportional to your faith. To often we limit God by our excuses.
People always have an excuse why they can’t do something. This is simply murmuring and
complaining. Words of doubt and unbelief will only limit the ability of God to work in your life.
We all want God to use us, yet people will find an excuse not to minister to their next
door neighbor. If we can’t talk to our neighbors, how can God expect us to go to a foreign
country where our physical life may be in danger? God’s results in your life are directly
proportional to your faith and your attitude. Once you can heal your own headache, then you can
move on your friend’s cancer. We need to remove the words of doubt and unbelief and fill our
lips with words of praise and worship. God will not give you something you have not expected,
waited for, or anticipated, if you anticipate failure, evil, doom, and destruction, you can speak
those events right into existence.
Page
44
The first thing you must realize is that there will always be a river between you and your
destination. You must make up your mind to take the limits off of God so that He can move you
across the river. God has called you to be more than a conqueror so that you can prevail against
the impossibilities. Don’t look at what God has done; rather look at what He wants to do. Faith
which is seen is not faith! If you have been temporarily hindered, pinpoint what is stopping you
and uproot it. Remove the excuses and stop murmuring. Once you stop limiting God, there will
be no limits in your life. You will soar!

Miracles
Gifts of the Spirit
Objective: To provide an overview of the Gifts of the Spirit and the manifestation of New
Testament miracles.
Overview: Spiritual Gifts are one of the most misunderstood topics in the New Testament. The
Lord said His people perish for a lack of knowledge. The Bible says that even Jesus studied the
Word, and when He did, He grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Without a direct deposit of the Word, you can’t have divine revelation, utterance, and the ability
to walk in power and demonstrations. Christians must study and rightly divide the Word, to show
themselves approved unto God. The Word says to earnestly covet the gifts and ask in faith,
believing you have received them.
The gifts are to equip the believer to walk in the supernatural and in the power and
demonstration of the Word. The Word says that there are a diversity of gifts and manifestations,
but they all come from the same Spirit. It also says these gifts are for the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the body of Christ. Therefore, while we
seek the gifts, they are not for us personally, but for the benefit of others.
Page
3
There are nine spiritual gifts, or ways that the Lord manifests Himself. These gifts can be
broken into three major categories. They are the revelation gifts, the utterance gifts,and the
power gifts. To see the manifestation of these gifts in your life, you must stir the Holy Spirit
resident within you. Until you get a revelation of the identity and power within you, you will not
walk in the supernatural gifts. This revelation can only come from an intense study and proper
division of the Word, and an intimate prayer life.

Power & Demonstration
Flowing in the Holy Ghost
Objective: To understand how to flow with the Holy Spirit.
Overview: The Word says to trust in the Lord with all your heart and not to lean on your own
understanding. We must learn to trust in the revelation knowledge of God’s Word and not the
natural. We know that we are more than conquerors all the time; sometimes we just don’t know
how our miracles will be manifested. The Word tells us that our faith should not stand in the
wisdom of man, but in the power of God. The true gift that God gives us is the Holy Spirit. What
we consider gifts is simply the manifestation of the Spirit.
As a believer, you should pursue an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. The reality
is that there is no Gospel, or good news, without the Holy Spirit. Jesus said I must leave, but my
Father will send you a Comforter. It is the Holy Spirit which leads you in all truth, and allows
you to walk in power and demonstrations with signs following.

You can not flow in the anointing if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and you can
not be filled with the Holy Spirit if you are filled with doubt and unbelief. Nothing will stop the
flow of God in your life quicker than doubt or unbelief. The Holy Spirit will only move when
you have completely yielded yourself and are free from certain emotions, such as doubt and
unbelief, which only serve to suppress Him.
The Word tells us to stir up the gift that is within us. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to
lead us beyond what we think or know. Remember, you are the only person who can stop the
move of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Power & Demonstrations of the Holy Ghost
Objective: To understand how to flow with the Holy Spirit.
Overview: Jesus could not do one miracle without the anointing. We too can not experience
God’s miracles without the anointing. In order to operate in power and demonstration, the
believer must abide in the anointed one. Christ and the Word are one. The Word says that if you
abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you can ask what you will and it will be done unto you.
With proper division of the logos, or written word, the believer can accurately flow in the Holy
Ghost, because he knows the will of God. Through the avenue of wisdom and revelation that
comes from God’s Word, we can receive and claim the benefits of the glory and power of God’s
anointing. The Bible says that Christ in us is the hope of glory, and we are partakers of His
divine nature. Once we have a revelation of this truth we will walk in power and demonstration.
We must do two things to live a supernatural life. First, we must be obedient to the Word,
and second, we must allow God’s Holy Spirit to control us. We must labor to enter into His rest
through the sacrifice of prayers and praise. We must learn to cease from our works so that we
can flow with the Holy Ghost. Experiential faith and anointing can only come through intense
fellowship with God.
Page 13
Jesus said, I always do the things that please my Father. In other words, He made the
Father’s priority His priority. We need to learn how to make His priorities our priorities, so that
we can do His will. The Apostle Paul said that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men
but in the power of God. That power, or the anointing, is resident in each believer, and is
released through faith.

Miracles
Objective: To understand how to do the works Jesus commissioned us to do through power and
demonstration of the Holy Ghost.
Overview: The kingdom of God is not in eloquent speech, but in power and demonstration of
the Holy Ghost. When the Word of promise is preached, it develops an expectation in those who
hear. People receive on the other end by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the
Word of God.
When we walk in God’s perfect will, we have the Spirit in bountiful supply. We must
consistently believe for the overflow of anointing with fresh oil. Believers must pursue the
Gospel and potential in Christ far above where they are. Religious works mixed with faith equals
failure. However, when we mix our faith with the Word we will see the manifestation of
miracles. There is no ceiling to the excellency of God’s manifest power. By faith, we can rule
and reign full of the Holy Ghost and His Word. We can only limit Him through a lack of faith,
prayer, and knowledge of the Word.
The harvest is great and the laborers are few. Anointed men and women of God who
understand their authority will bring in the harvest. The only way to do the Word is to meditate
Page
18
upon it, and then decide to act upon it. The Holy Ghost will go to work to supernaturally
manifest Himself through the Word. The Holy Ghost is the spiritual pilot within the believer. He
is alive to divine truth, which is the Word.
When we are born again, we are born of the Spirit of God. The believer receives power
when the Holy Ghost comes upon and immerses him in Holy Ghost and fire. Believers are the
temple and housing power of the most high God. Christ in us is the hope of Glory, the anointed
one, the miracle worker, and He equips us to do exploits for His kingdom. The Holy Spirit
enables us to expect beyond what we think or ask. He verifies backs up, and performs His Word
as we make the necessary deposits and learn to flow with His anointing.

Still Small Voice
Objective: To understand the indwelling source of anointing and how to tap into the wellspring
to do signs and wonders.
Overview: The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows all the issues
of life. As we stir up ourselves we have a wellspring of life, anointing, and miracle working
power. The still small voice is the voice of the Holy Spirit; in fact it is the Spirit of Christ living
within the believer. Ephesians 3:20 says that it is the power within us, or the anointing, which is
the key to God doing abundantly above what we ask or think. The anointing is recharged through
communion with God. The mantle, or anointing, comes to equip us to do our mission. The Word
says that steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord when the believer is in harmony with
the Spirit of God.
Just as the anointing lives within the believer, the believer should dwell in the
anointing. The anointing teaches us to grow up in Christ and to put away our childish behavior.
To develop your spirit man, you must invest effort into your spiritual growth. The responsibility
for maturity lies within yourself. We know we can grow because Christ said that we would do
Page
24
even greater works than He. The milk of the Word refreshes and blesses, but carries no
responsibility to grow. It is the meat of the anointed Word which commands you to go forth and
do the work of God. It is the anointing within us that causes us to hear His voice. It is the still
small voice we hear that leads us to act in faith.
Jesus said out of your belly will flow rivers of living water. As the anointing abides in
the believer, the believer ought to continually abide in the anointing. Christ and the anointing are
one in the same. The Holy Spirit is committed to leading us into truth and revelation. The
anointing has the potential to teach us all spiritual truth. The provisions of Christ through God
come through our spirit. The wisdom of God lives in our Spirit by the Spirit of God. Paul said I
die daily; I live yet not I, but Christ in me. Fear and doubt, coupled with unforgiveness will short
circuit the anointing. The bondage of anxiety, doubt, fear, and hurt, is a wall or veil. A veil is
everywhere the Spirit is not Lord. The Bible says that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty. When a believer is afraid to open up and loose the wall and defenses, the Spirit can not
be Lord. There is no accuracy in the spirit and we can not enter His rest. We faint and become
weary in our mind when we do not consider the Spirit of the Lord. The flesh can not manufacture
the wisdom or power of God. Revelation will come when the anointing or ministration of God
causes the things of God to be seen. Jesus said when the Spirit of truth comes, He shall receive of
mine and show it unto you. We have the mind of Christ, and walk in the wisdom of God through
the anointing. Just as Jesus walked in and through the anointing, so we also walk with signs and
wonders following, as we abide in the anointing.
Page 25
There are two major keys to victory. First, you must know that you know that you are
walking with God. Second, you must actively nurture your relationship with God to hear His still
small voice. Faith works by love. You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your might, and you must love your neighbor as yourself. When you walk
in love without ought and condemnation, you will walk in boldness and faith because you will
hear God. Miracles will come and go, but it will be your consistency in the Word and developing
your spirit man which will take you to new heights in the supernatural.

Power For the Hour
Objective: To understand the power you need for today.
Overview: God has given us the ability and placed an open door for us to reach out and touch
souls with the power of the Gospel; the good news of our salvation. In the future, the separation
between the powerful and powerless will become more evident. There will always be those who
show a form of godliness, but are ignorant of the power in Christ. If we are to do what we are
called to do, we need a clear understanding of both the power and its source.
To do God’s work on earth, He has provided us with both the dunamis power and the
exousia authority. We are more than conquerors even when we don’t feel like it because we walk
by faith and not by how we feel. However, just because we have the power doesn’t mean we are
enforcing it. You need one more important ingredient, and that’s the anointing. You must be
tenacious in your daily pursuit of the anointing. The Psalmist says that you must seek the fresh
oil. You can’t live today on yesterday’s anointing. When you have the fresh oil, God will anoint
you to do things that the natural man can’t. Today is the day that the Lord has made; so rejoice
and be glad in it. Never be satisfied with yesterday’s accomplishments. Continue to press toward
your high call in Christ Jesus. God wants to take you to the high places as in Habakkuk 3.
Page
30
You must know what makes you weak and resist it. The Bible says that you hide God’s
Word in your heart so that you won’t sin against Him. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
The devil will do everything he can to mock God’s Word and try to put doubt in your mind. If
you waiver, you not only lose the anointing, but you also lose your power and authority. Samson
wavered and lost his power; but just as Sampson repented and realized the source of his power,
we can do the same thing. When you die to the flesh and the world, the anointing takes over.
Sampson rose above his shame; his renewed faith earned him special mention in the book of
Hebrews hail of faith. We too can press in for the special anointing we need today, and every
day!

Possessing Supernatural Power
Objective: To understand how to operate in supernatural power.
Overview: The supernatural power of God is available to every believer. To capitalize from the
anointing, and to move in this power, one only needs a revelation knowledge of the truth. The
power of God is bigger than we can comprehend with our minds. The key to tapping into this
power is found in God’s Word. The believer must learn to work in cooperation with the
anointing, or God’s Spirit. The first step is to put a deposit in your spiritual storehouse. The more
you deposit His Word in your spirit, and speak and confess in line with His Word, the sooner you
will see His supernatural results in your life. The Holy Ghost will take the Word and make it
powerful in you until every evil thing that presents itself against obedience and fullness of Christ
will depart. The Holy Ghost is the unction, revelation, or force, which manifests the Word in the
body. The Word of God moves mountains, casts out devils, and heals the sick. The reason people
fall short of possessing supernatural power is because of the sin known as unbelief. Believers
must understand that they are not their own, but that they are absolutely possessed by God. Our
mind can be used to believe God, or it can be used to doubt God. We limit God when we choose
not to act on His Word.
Page
34
Page 35
As we know, Christ and the Word are one in the same. Christ is the Anointed One. The
Word tells us that we have the mind of Christ. As we act in line with the Word, we are
cooperating with the anointing. When we act outside of the Word, we are outside of the
anointing, or anti-Christ. Therefore, we must choose to walk in the Word and to rebuke those
things which compromise the Word. Possessing supernatural power means cooperating with the
anointing through prayer, meditation, and agreement with the Word. Don’t look forward to a
visitation, or backwards to a memory; look steadfast into the Word for power and miracles.

The Power of His Glory
Objective: To understand the power of the anointing.
Overview: The true anointing, or God’s manifest glory, should be most apparent in the church.
However, there are too many people in the church today that are not walking in power or liberty.
Until these people learn that the Spirit of the Lord brings liberty, they will never be completely
free.
The anointing is God’s manifest presence. It comes to endorse, to enforce, and to
perform. Without it, no great and mighty works can be done. The anointing is truly what
separates the Christians who walk in victory from the Christians who live beneath their
privileges. The anointing is the agent that God uses to perform miracles and to give us the
boldness to preach the Gospel of Christ. It is a gift that belongs to each Christian. Jesus said, the
glory which you have given Me I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.
Imagine the power we could have in the body of Christ if we only had a revelation of what is
truly available to us. God is as good as we allow the glory to be. If we yield to the anointing, God
will manifest Himself.
Page 39
Once you get a hold of the Word, you will make room in your house for Christ; and He
will feel at home. You will be injected with resurrection power into your spirit, soul, and body.
Your soul and body will be quickened like your spirit, and the anointing spirit will truly set you
free. Once we experience and understand the glory, we will pursue it with all diligence. It is the
agent that brings about miracles and transforms us into the image of His Son which we are called
to conform to. When you meditate on the anointing, the day star will arise in you. When you
experience the anointing, you will find the blessings, the glory, and God Himself!

Unleash the Power of Faith
Objective: To understand that your ability to do miracles depends on your ability to unleash the
power of faith resident within you.
Overview: The Word of God says that faith without works is dead. To do God’s work you must
have active faith. Not only must you believe God’s Word; you must live it, walk it, speak it,
confess it, and testify it. The problem is not on God’s part--it is on ours! We all want God to use
us; but are we ready to make the necessary sacrifices? Have we renewed our minds, and are we
walking by faith?
You can not walk by faith and be bound by the world or religion. In some cases, they
are one in the same. The Word says that the letter kills but the Spirit gives life. The Old
Testament was a perfect law given to an imperfect people. It was a school master that had no life
or spirit. The best the people could do was to live under a curse. Their sacrifices could clean
them on the outside, but could not clean their spirit. It was not until the death and resurrection of
Jesus that man could understand his true position and heavenly identity.
The law was performance oriented. Man could only be justified by acts. Then Jesus
came, and the Word said that the just shall not live by acts, but by faith. It also said that Jesus is
Page
44
the author and finisher of that faith. In essence, the Word says that you don’t have to see it or
perform it until you believe it. You only have to believe to receive. It is the Spirit that gives life,
and where the Spirit is, there is liberty. This is the liberty to live free from the curse and to
operate in the realm of God’s authority and power. Once you know what Christ did for you, and
who you are in Him, you will be able to pull the trigger on the inside which releases the power to
do miracles. When you operate in this realm, you will raise the dead, heal the sick, and cast out
devils.

Resurrection - Release Your Faith
Objective: To understand the need to resurrect your faith.
Overview: The Word says that in the last days perilous times will come and that many will
depart from the faith. We are entering into these perilous times. As believers, we must learn to be
strong in Him and the power of His might. We can all see people who are walking away because
spirits which have caused these people to doubt God’s Word. Somehow, somewhere, sometime,
they were disappointed; and they allowed their faith to waver. The fact of the matter is that it
doesn’t change God’s Word one bit. God does not lie.
As a believer, you can not allow your faith to die. Do not cast away your confidence or
you will become weary in well doing. Once that happens, your faith can die a slow death. When
you finally stop acting in faith, your faith dies. But just as Jesus said, this sickness is not unto
death. You must recognize when your faith becomes sick so that you can stop any further
deterioration. God has an investment in your faith. You must remember that it is not Got, but a
seducing spirit that causes a person to cast away their confidence. You must not forget the
benefits of the One who forgives you of your sins and heals you of all your sickness and disease.
Page 49
Once you recognize that your faith is either sick, or has wavered, you must go back to the
initial disappointment which caused the situation. This is the point at which the healing process,
or the resurrection of your faith must begin. You must pull the burial stone away! You must trust
in the Word. If God says He will deliver you, then He will deliver you. The Word will never tell
you what you want to hear; it will only tell you what you need to hear. When you repent and call
upon the Lord, He will resurrect your faith. The resurrection of your faith is what will cause you
to walk in the gifts of the spirit which allow you to do God’s will on earth!
