Exercising Spiritual Authority

Exercising Spiritual Authority (ESA) is a biblical exposé of what God Almighty has put within each Christian believer. It is a revelation of the believer's identity, power, and destiny with doctrinal lessons and practical exercises to realize and experience all these aspects of discipleship.

ESA has been presented in various churches and communities in the USA and abroad. The myriad of testimonies that come from it include healings, miracles, deliverances, and revelations of spiritual enlightenment. The impact of ESA is traceable wherever it has been conducted, with evidences of revival in individuals, churches, and communities. It has been a large contributor to the ever-increasing growth of Christianity in South India and parts of Africa and South America.

ESA is available in three different levels: introductory, intermediate, and advanced. The introductory level is aproximately seven hours long, focusing on the believer's deliverance and identity as a disciple. The intermediate level is 16 hours long and is directed toward the believer realizing his or her personal ministry, calling, and destiny. It is available on DVD and CD. The advanced level is 33 hours long and targets the power base of a disciple's life, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It provides not only instruction but also practical exercises to activate each of the gifts. It is available in CD format only.

ESA has benefited young and old alike by providing an intense learning situation that includes exhilarating power encounters as led by the Lord Jesus Christ. Demonstrations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are interwoven in the lively teaching style of Dr. Dale Sides, making this class an exciting learning adventure!

Testimonies:

The ESA class taught me how to minister healing to those around me and has given me confidence so that when I do minister I see greater results. I constantly use what I have learned in my daily life, and I can honestly say that in many ways it saved my life! I am much more aware spiritually of what is going on around me and it also increased the quality of my relationship with Jesus Christ. It is so much more than just a class! —RG, North Carolina

ESA is a class that helped enable me to know and experience who I am in Christ—an overcomer who is trained, equipped, and exercises their rights to possess and occupy until the Lord Jesus comes. The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire enables us as Christians to live out abundantly what Jesus taught us when He said, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We need to walk and live in kingdom realities as a way of life and accept the mandate of Christ our Lord to go and do the “greater things!” —SE, Virginia

During the [ESA] class, I was awakened one night in the motel room and saw in the Spirit a green glob moving inside my abdomen. I didn’t know what it was, but I spoke in tongues…until the vision ended and I could go back to sleep. The next day, at the end of the morning session, Dale…began naming demons that had no authority over, or in, anyone there and deliverances were taking place.

I then knew that the demon inside me was a pining spirit (better known as “anorexia”), and I took authority over it in my body and told it to leave. I was… delivered from that putrid spirit, and have been ever since! —JR, Pennsylvania

ESA was…the beginning of healing for my marriage. It was the turning point where my husband and I could no longer ignore the problems that we had. We faced them head on and God restored our marriage. We just had our 13-year anniversary and we are now in ministry together full time. —BD, Louisianna

I vividly remember the life-changing impact of the teaching of the Scriptures and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit in the [ESA] class. The main thing that stood out to me was the immediate practical application of what we learned; we got in groups and got right to the task of ministering to others in the group. That day began my journey of an understanding of prophecy, particularly. I asked God for one person to minister to daily for a week following the class. The Lord was faithful to bring one person daily to me and that began my journey, which has continued to this day in exercising spiritual authority daily. —BO, Virginia

The ESA class taught me much about the differences between spirit, soul, and body. It gave me the much-needed tools to take control of my physical body to overcome gluttony and bring that body in submission. It’s an ongoing walk and the Holy Spirit continues to teach me what I need to succeed and truly overcome. —SF, Nebraska

The [ESA] class was the beginning of many teachings, which have helped me so much—all from just becoming a partner [Liberating Partner] and receiving new teachings each month that I listen to as soon as they arrive. I have the 16-audio tape series of ESA and listen to it periodically. I’m probably on the fifth time through. Every time I learn something new. Everything in it is still relevant to life today, and I am getting bolder to actually exercise my spiritual authority. I have taught many of the principles to my Bible study groups. —MC, South Dakota

After a break [in the ESA class], Dale came back and prayed for many different infirmities and requested that we keep our palms open to receive. When [he] prayed for the cancer to be removed, at that moment I exhaled and a deep guttural groan came out. That was my moment of healing. I began to weep many tears of joy. I give God the glory, for I have remained cancer-free for 10 years now! —JM, Connecticut

The most important impact that ESA had on my life is that it brought my reverence for the Lord Jesus Christ to a much deeper, more intimate level. My relationship with Jesus and the revelation that I received through the instruction regarding how life is “very, very, very, very spiritual” changed the focus and awareness of (my) life forever. —JP, Illinois

When I learned to “command” in the name of Jesus for the healing and deliverance to happen, it did. Two weeks after ESA a 27-year-old man blind in one eye for 22 years was healed when I ministered to him. Four months later a female stroke victim was in the hospital suffering paralysis. It was after visiting hours so I ministered healing to her over the phone. When I went to visit her the next day she had been sent home healed. —PA, Kentucky

I had a sound background in the ministry of the Holy Spirit prior to taking the ESA class in the mid 1990s. What distinguished this class from other teachings I had received, however, was the impact of the power God wanted to use and flow through me in all situations, and that so many times He simply wanted me to initiate the action of His will. This class [provided] a wealth of knowledge on so many pertinent truths, including satan and his kingdom and our victory over it, the gifts of the Spirit, faith, love, and how to stand in the armor of God. [It] truly gave me a foundation to exercise the spiritual authority God infused into me through my lord and Savior Jesus Christ. —CP, North Carolina

I confessed Jesus as Lord and was spirit filled in 1975. In 1995, during the ESA [class], I fell to my knees and asked Jesus into my heart (again) and surrendered all. I felt like I had been born again, again. The words I heard…during that class cut into my spirit and changed my life forever. —BM, Florida

The ESA class has forever impacted my private prayer life. Before, my prayer life was one of thanking and asking, but since taking the class, I recognize my authority in the spiritual realm. I still ask, and I still thank…but I also command—with authority—using words of power to accomplish the Lord’s will on this earth. Spiritual strongholds must bend and break down—by believers knowing how to address the spiritual realm in accordance with God’s Word. —GH, South Carolina

I have been delivered from watching soap operas—praise God! I credit the Lord most of all, but the Exercising Spiritual Authority class definitely contributed. I recommend this teaching to the body of Christ. —MS, Ohio

Since taking the ESA class this past August, my neck, arm, and shoulder have been completely, completely, completely free of any pain or irritation. Before that I had been “hurtin’ for certain!” I suspect the spirit of arthritis is in hell or some other uncomfortable place. —BF, Maryland

I wanted to let you know what a blessing it was to be in the [ESA] class and receive everything you shared inside and outside the class. God taught me abundantly in those five days, and I feel like many of my prayers were answered in regard to questions I had. I took many steps forward spiritually and have greater clarity in my mind and heart. —AS, Connecticut

For me, ESA was the catapult to get me where the Lord wanted me to be with His power and strength. —BM, California

Perfect Redemption

2 day format – 6 hours of instruction

A comprehensive study dealing with the ultimate price Jesus Christ paid when he gave His life to atone for our sins, trespasses and iniquities. The difference between these kinds of wrong doings is explained so that the Christian believer can apply the blood of Jesus to each one and walk in the liberty Jesus has paid so dearly to obtain. Specific teachings on "He Bled Seven Times" and "Victory Over Iniquity" reveal how to apply the blood of Jesus for complete redemption and personal deliverance.

Testimonies:

I want to testify!!! Sunday I preached at our Church, and as soon as I opened my mouth the power and authority of God fell on the place…I did a mini Perfect Redemption class [teaching]. I was so full, it was coming out of my ears. T___ got up and testified that he got healed of anger, lust and fear…I did a deliverance service like you did in Dayton, and one woman came forward who had been on nerve pills for seven years. I put my hands on her and cut a curse from her mother’s side on being nervous; [the]…woman screamed a horrible scream and a spirit came out and she is set free. That was the tip of the iceberg… —DH, Ohio

This [Perfect Redemption class] is the most thorough teaching on the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus I have ever heard. —CD, Texas

Our church continues to be abundantly blessed by applying the principles taught in the Perfect Redemption class. As we grow up into Christ, we need to know about how to deal with sin, iniquity and transgression. Fruit continues to appear in the congregation – it’s awesome to see God’s people set free! —PN, Massachusetts

Perfect Redemption was the pinnacle of all the classes I have ever taken… It was informative, straight forward and easily understood. It got rid of the shame I had been carrying around in my life. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has shame and wants to be free of it! —RG, Maine

Perfect Redemption is life changing! It put everything is perspective. It provided me with the reality of the completeness of what our Savior has done for us. Not only did I absorb the revelation myself for my own personal healing, but I also was given great desire to teach it to others. I did not want my Lord to have bled so completely for nothing—so I was motivated to apply it and teach it. —BO, Virginia

The teaching on iniquity [in Perfect Redemption] delivered me from problems I have had for 20 years. —JR, Georgia

Testimonies:

This class [Realizing and Fulfilling Your Personal Ministry] reconfirmed what God has been trying to tell me all along, and gave me more confidence in moving my ministry. – It gave me the fire to get moving again. —MB, Arizona

Teacher’s Practicum

1-2 day format – 6 hours of instruction

Doctrinal and practical instruction to help those who teach to excel in their ministries. Teaching techniques are explored to enrich personal presentations. “Hands-on” application of the information in small break-out groups allows students to learn how to organize notes, lay out class sessions, and make short topical presentations. The practicum is open to all who teach, who desire to teach and who are led to teach—no matter the audience.

Testimonies:

This class [Teacher’s Practicum] brought me back to the basics of how a teacher communicates, especially in our field of God’s Word. I highly recommend this class for those who desire to be teachers, are led to teach, even those anointed and ordained to be teachers in the Body of Christ. It communicates easily to those new and older believers. —DS, Connecticut

The information included in this [Teacher’s Practicum] seminar is solid. It brought back to memory the skills I had learned in college. As a Sunday school teacher, I applied the knowledge that I had learned through this class to develop my curriculum. The results were smoother, more organized sharings. There was no room for distraction or confusion to enter in. Even my seven-year old son reaped the rewards. He attended the class with me, and participated in each of the activities assigned. He learned how to state his thoughts and support his ideas using the basic outline form. It does not matter what age you are, Teacher’s Practicum should be a prerequisite for anyone who needs to convey his or her thoughts to one or more people. Whether you are an ordained teacher, someone who teaches Sunday school or public school, or even if you are a parent or a student—Teacher’s Practicum will enable you to do your job better. —AH, Virginia

Several days after [Teacher’s Practicum] I had a discipline situation come along regarding my 14 year old daughter. It was obvious to me that this situation carried the potential of being a full blown emotional blowout when I confronted her with her deed and told her the details of the punishment (consequences). So – I put together a one-minute teaching with introduction, body and conclusion – very logical and unemotional. My delivery was clear and logical – there was no room for argument. The end result was I go what I needed to accomplish without a blowout! She accepted graciously (and miraculously). It was such a blessing! —AW, Connecticut

DS, Missouri

Thank you for teaching ["Redeemed from the Curse of Poverty" Liberating Partners teaching] and helping release me from the curse of poverty. I had a $920 debt erased …by having faith in the Lord. I also received a cash award at work, totally unexpected. Praise the Lord!

PN, Massachusetts

Christians are frequently unaware of how to claim their Biblical authority over Satan, and how to be led by the Spirit of the Lord. This class teaches both because it teaches students how to have a personal, two-way relationship with Jesus. I have since seen the same powerful impact of this class replicated in my congregation. As a result, many who have taken it are rising up with genuine ministries, and are ministering healing with dramatic results. I highly recommend this [Exercising Spiritual Authority] class.

SP, Arizona

The teaching [in Exercising Spiritual Authority] on leading people into the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the best I’ve ever seen. This class has been instrumental in my understanding of the gifts of the Spirit, how they flow with the anointing, and my authority in ministering. My family has had chronic strife and now I know how to take the authority over my home, the things the Lord has entrusted to me, and over my children…and now I feel empowered to minister in my own home.

PNS, India

Rev. Sides’ ministry has given me new tools to enhance my ministry. Exercising Spiritual Authority has enlarged my views about the third person in the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. It has taught us many new principles and methods from the Scriptures. This seminar, in my opinion, is like getting a spiritual transfusion. I need this transfusion and revelation and yes, I firmly believe that Christian leaders in India need this revelation as we step into the 21st century.

MK, Mississippi

We have been blessed from the first "care package" of Episkopos publications we received… to the last tape we’ve listened to. We have prayed and waited for 15 years for "meat" – we were convinced almost that it might not happen in our generation. Our two sons have been thrilled to sit in the Discerning of Spirits and Spiritual Warfare tape class. They are teenagers and are a whole lot more holy than we were at their age. We were all blessed by Perfect Redemption and the communion tape [Episkopos teaching, "Healing in the Passover (Preparation, Sacrifice, Feast")].

RG, Maine

Perfect Redemption was the pinnacle of all the classes I have ever taken… It was informative, straight forward and easily understood. It got rid of the shame I had been carrying around in my life. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has shame and wants to be free of it!

SP, Arizona

God bless you, and thank you! I know my seed is being planted in GOOD SOIL! You are all a great blessing – thank you for the monthly [Liberating Partners] tapes and for your service to the Body. I especially appreciate the FRESH and UNCOMPROMISING approach to the Word. I have something I can "chew on."

DS, Maine

It’s been close to two months since Exercising Spiritual Authority and I have grown more in the past weeks than I have in the past twelve years! Praise the Lord! I no longer ask what can the Lord do for me, but what can I do for the Lord. …I find myself thinking more of others than of myself.

CP, Ohio

If you had not taught Exercising Spiritual Authority class that I attended in 1996, it is highly unlikely I ever would be attending a wonderful church today, plus being set free from past hurts and demonic influences. For this, I will be ever grateful to you and your ministry, but most of all to our Lord who sets all of us free!

GV, North Carolina

The Gospel of the Kingdom class helped me to see and make the difference between Jesus Christ being my Savior and Jesus Christ being my Lord.

AH, Virginia

I feel like this [Exercising Spiritual Authority] class could be called "Christianity 102," that is, I believe all Christians need the scriptural truths presented in this class in order to effectively enjoy and serve our Lord Jesus. These truths are basic to faithful and victorious Christian living.

KR, California

A long time ago, Dale taught "Devil Give Me Back My Money." [We] hadn’t been paid since [over a month before], …we have a remodeling business. Things were very tight and we were told the check we had been expecting had been lost in the mail. We prayed like Dale taught and the next day, we received a check for $5000! …God is so awesome!
