The Lifeblood Curriculum is designed to create the greatest strategic change in each participant.
There are nine themed sessions in three sets of three followed by a section summary. Each session will run for approximately 1.5 hours depending on the number of participants.
The section summaries feature a discussion with John Turnipseed to reinforce the content discussed in the previous three sessions.
Worksheets for each session are available in two sizes:
1) A5 Handout = double-sided A4 landscape print folded in half, or,
2) A4 Handout = single-sided A4 portrait print
Ideally, when supplied in a folder with a pad and pen, they will become part of a personal journal.
The Facilitators Guide will step the facilitator though the lesson plan for each session.
What You'll Need
A Facilitator.
About 1.5 hours for each session.
A meeting room for 6-8 participants.

From The Bondage Breaker - Neil T Anderson*
There are voices of evil and deceiving spirits who lie in wait to entrap every traveler entering the higher regions of spiritual life.
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by His authority, I command all deceiving spirits to depart from me, and I renounce and reject all counterfeit gifts and other spiritual manifestations that are not from The God Most High."
"Heavenly Father, you give THE Spirit of power and love and self control. Open my mind to the truth of your Word. Expose the deceptions, silence the voices, cast out the evil spirits. Come into my life, fill my heart and mind with your love. Flood it with your peace and wisdom. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. I ask and pray in Jesus name, amen.
Each conversation with God will expose and renounce false beliefs and their sources. The Holy Spirit promises to guide us into all truth. John 16:13.
