Week 7 was an interesting week, because the students got their lecture from a video. Thankfully Dean Sherman was our speaker, because even though he isn’t present he has kept the classroom alive with comments and questions from the students.
Majestic Monday, our day got started off with worship and bible meditation on Psalm 42. Then our first video lecture got kicked off by Dean Sherman going over Ephesians 6:10-20, which in the bible is the biblical foundation of spiritual warfare. He dives into each verse and explains what each verse means. The best question asked this whole DTS has been from Dean Sherman and he asked the audience, “What would I do to ____ if I was the devil?” Then in the blank just fill in your name, family, church or a nation and then you will know what to pray against Satan’s strategies. Dean makes a subject so complex, so easy to understand. Later at night the students had created a secret Valentines Day gift exchange and everyone gave their Valentine their gift.
Tubular Tuesday, was a day with lots of rain! By now you can hear some students whispering prayers to God about having warm sunny days. The beginning of the day had a nice rainy prayer walk and worship. Next class was initiated by Dean discussing the topic of gates and what they meant to the Jewish people, explained the symbolism and logic. Then he went over how to properly open and shut different gates to the spiritual world. When someone is shutting a gate they are being personally defensive against Satan, but when they are opening a gate it is an offensive way by praying over kings, nations, church, etc. The day passed quickly and then at night we had intercession over our outreach in Italy!
Wacky Wednesday, we joined the staff in the morning for a staff meeting and after did our own personal devotions. Then it was back in the classroom for the students and to sit attentively listening to Dean. In lecture he spoke about angels and how present they were. Dean also said that angels were warriors, messengers, and worshipers. After class we were dispersed to go do our ministries.
Thorough Thursday, was initiated with intercession for an old ministry that might be brought back up called Hunter’s Point. Bible meditation on Luke 14:25-35 and Mark 10:29-31 came next. Then in class Dean went over God’s authority over the devil and discussed how we can exercise those powers. It was so exciting to learn how to squash the devils temptations! Soon after lecture the food pantry opened up for all our neighbor is the Tenderloin. The food pantry gives us such joy to bless people and just make relationships with them. Sometimes our neighbors help us with the work!
Fantastical Friday, sadly it was our last day for our Dean Sherman videos. Before lecture we did intercession for our ministries that we are in. Then lecture started with Dean speaking on why the devil attacks you and how. He also taught on how to wage warfare and you can do that by intercession, living holy lives, going to places where need prayer, preaching the gospel, fasting, unity, loving servants, endurance, worship, etc. Dean speaks very biblically and knows his stuffs, so readers I recommend that you go buy these spiritual warfare videos! Later that night we did the hot chocolate ministry and on Saturday we did a prayer walk at Hunters Point.
