DE#5: Equipping for Spiritual Warfare

Are We Really in a Spiritual War?

Scripture is clear that followers of Jesus live within a real spiritual conflict. Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12 that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

What does this mean for believers today? How do we discern the work of the world, the flesh, and the devil—and how do we rely on Christ’s authority and power as we seek to advance His kingdom?

Whenever we step into the work of Jesus—proclaiming the gospel, praying for others, moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, or serving in His name—we inevitably encounter spiritual opposition. Some of it is subtle. Some of it is direct. But all of it requires discernment, preparation, and confidence in the victory of Christ.

Dunamis Essentials 5 equips believers to understand and engage in spiritual warfare in a biblically grounded, Spirit‑led, and practical way.

What You’ll Learn

This course explores:

• Introduction to Spiritual Warfare

• The Believer’s Preparation for Spiritual Warfare

• Personal Spiritual Warfare: The Battle Without

• Personal Spiritual Warfare: The Battle Within

• Kingdom Advance & Setting Captives Free

• Understanding the Role of Spiritual Warfare in Ministry

You’ll gain both teaching and practical experience to help you stand firm, walk faithfully, and minister effectively in the authority of Jesus Christ.

Why This Matters

If you are growing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit or seeking to advance the kingdom of God, you will encounter spiritual resistance. This course provides a safe, biblical, and Spirit‑led framework for understanding what that resistance looks like—and how to respond with confidence, discernment, and dependence on Christ.

The Dunamis Project vs Dunamis Essentials  

The Dunamis Project is the central training of DFC to help you cooperate with the Holy Spirit in whatever ministry you may have, in whatever part of the world you may live. It is a series of 6 conferences, 4 or 5 full days each, over a 3-year period with solid biblical teaching about the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

​​Dunamis Essentials is an abridged version of each of the 6 Dunamis Projects, still over 3 years, where we teach the content in a condensed time frame, either on-line or in-person. You will get to experience live teaching, small groups and worship together. Our goal is to make the Dunamis teachings more accessible to more people. 

This event is fully in-person in Edmonton, AB offered Thursday evening, all day Friday and all-day Saturday.

Plan to Be Fully Present

Each teaching builds on the one before it. To receive the full benefit of the event—and to honour the work of the Holy Spirit—we encourage participants to be present for the entire conference as much as possible.

Offering-Based Ministry

All DFC events operate on a faith basis. During the conference, you’ll have the opportunity to hear the vision of DFC and partner with the ministry through an offering, helping equip believers across Canada and around the world.
