1 Corinthians 4:12 “For the kingdom of God is not in word [logos] but in power [dunamis],” (NKJV)

Today a wide gap exists between theology (what we read in the Bible) and what so many believers actually experience in their daily walk with God. Many believers are trapped in a “frustrating downward spiral.” Every time expectation based on theology is not met, disappointment sets in, and the level of expectation for the unseen diminishes slowly and unnoticeably until it reaches a point where most of the real expectation for the supernatural is lost. As a result, it causes a believer to lose faith and live far below the authority and power that God has promised.

The purpose of the classes offered this semester at FSSM are to model, impart, and empower believers from all levels by equipping them to reproduce the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in the areas of healing, meditation and prayer by demonstrating that the supernatural is truly a natural way to live their lives. It is designed to help students understand what God is doing in our time and encourage them to become God’s vessels who invade earth with heaven’s possibilities.

During the school’s 12 weeks of classes, we are excited about your actively receiving three things:

1. Revelation: Allowing your heart and mind to be renewed by the Word of God.
2. Impartation: Receiving the anointing and presence of the Holy Spirit for empowerment.
3. Activation: Stepping out in faith to DO what you are learning and being empowered to do.

Next FSSM Semester: Check back soon for Fall 2010 dates!

Advanced Ministry Training (AMT) courses

The Advanced Ministry Training (AMT) courses are elective classes that are designed to expose students to a topic or area of ministry in which they would like further training.  Staff or guest lecturers who have experience and knowledge of the specific areas teach the classes.  The material for each AMT is designed by the teacher and is based on what they feel is vital for giving the students a good overview of their area.
