Course Description

The subject of this course is "Teaching Tactics".  "Teaching" is the act of instructing another person.  Biblical teaching includes imparting knowledge and demonstrating how to apply that knowledge to personal life and ministry.  "Tactics" are methods used to achieve a goal, purpose, or objective. In the military, the subject of "tactics" teaches soldiers how to use their weapons to achieve an advantage over the enemy.   The same is true in the spiritual world.  If we apply God's methods or "tactics", we can conquer spiritual enemies which include the world, the flesh and Satan with all his powers. In "Teaching Tactics" you will learn how to use a great spiritual weapon.  That weapon is the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17).  You will learn tactics of preaching and teaching God's Word for the purpose of defeating the enemy.   This course uses God's Word, the Holy Bible, as the revelation upon which all teaching is based. In Biblical teaching the teacher, subject, and methods must all be in harmony with the Bible.   Teaching is not just the communicating  of doctrine or information.  Students must experience God, not just learn information about Him.  Teaching is the transmission [imparting] of both a life and lifestyle.  The life to be imparted to students is new life in Jesus Christ through new birth spiritually (John 3).    The lifestyle to be imparted is that of the Kingdom of God.  Students must be taught how to live as "citizens" in this Kingdom, learning both the privileges and responsibilities of their position. Sometimes, we have been content to borrow man-made educational systems  instead of  learning and applying what God's Word reveals about teaching.  This course focuses on Biblical message and methods of teaching. You will learn and apply methods of the master teacher, Jesus Christ.   You will understand the functions of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in your teaching.   Guidelines are given for analyzing the audience, stating objectives, planning the lesson, using different teaching methods, and evaluating your teaching.  The relationship between teaching and preaching is examined and guidelines are given for preaching Biblical messages.   You will also learn how to train others to teach and how to adapt your teaching to illiterate people [those who cannot read or write].

We are so blessed to offer the anointed Harvestime International curriculum. "The purpose of Harvestime International Ministries: It was upon the spiritual harvest fields of the world that Jesus Christ constantly focused the attention of His disciples: "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." (John 4:35) The challenge given by our Lord is for laborers, men and women who know how to reap the spiritual harvest fields of the world for the Kingdom of God. It is to this purpose that Harvestime International Network is dedicated–to recruit, train, motivate, and mobilize a network of international harvesters capable of: 1. Intercession for international spiritual harvest:…The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest. (Matthew 9:37-38) 2. Articulation of the principles of spiritual harvest: And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2) 3. Demonstration of the principles of spiritual harvest: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) 4. Communication of the urgency of the mandate for worldwide spiritual harvest: The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jeremiah 8:20) 5. Mobilization of members of the Body of Christ to reap their appointed fields in worldwide, end-time harvest:…He reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
