The teaching explores what God’s promises actually are and why they are crucial as a foundation in the Christian life. It demonstrates how to systematically explore the Bible, gather the promises and actively use them in prayer and spiritual warfare. It encourages us to let God’s promises shape our thoughts, expectations and identity, rather than fear, self-condemnation and comparison with others. At the same time, the connection between promises and obedience is highlighted, as many promises are specifically linked to how one chooses to live one’s life with God. The teaching calls for knowing, believing in and applying God’s promises, so that faith is strengthened and one’s prayer life is transformed in everyday life.

The teaching focuses on the spiritual gifts – particularly prophetic speech and speaking in tongues – and on why all believers are called to use them. It dispels the notion that God gives only one specific gift to one specific person, and teaches that we all have access to a wide range of gifts, which we must actively unlock and use. A clear distinction is made between the three forms of speaking in tongues, and believers are encouraged to take their prophetic responsibility seriously by conveying words and images in love and with wisdom. They are encouraged to let go of fear and pride and instead engage in the practical aspects with expectation – for God speaks to all who are willing to listen. ***

The teaching focuses on how God’s blessings and demonic curses operate in concrete terms in people’s lives and families. It demonstrates how words, actions, occult practices and deep bitterness can open the door to curses that bind people in their emotions, thoughts, bodies and relationships. We are encouraged to let God’s light reveal what is hidden, to confess sin, to forgive others and ourselves, and to consciously say no to darkness. Based on Jesus’ victory on the cross, we see how curses can be broken in Jesus’ name, so that we step out of bondage and into God’s blessing and freedom.
