SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY COHORTS
Why?
To encourage, empower, and resource you with new ways of praying using your spiritual authority. This training will equip you to pray with expectation and see God move in your home, workplace, neighborhood, and beyond.
What?
A 6-module experiential prayer training that empowers disciples to fully discover and step into their identity as sons and daughters of the King. In each session, you will experiment with new prayer tools in a safe environment. After finishing the cohort you will be equipped to pray with others confidently by using the spiritual authority delegated to you in Jesus name.
We’ll cover these topics over the course of our time together:
What is Spiritual Authority?
Hearing God as the Basis for Spiritual Authority
Inner Healing as a Key Component to Exercising Spiritual Authority
Operating as a Royal Priest in the Royal Priesthood
Physical Healing and the In-breaking of the Kingdom
Reclaiming Spiritual Territory and the Reality of the Supernatural
Format
Several formats will be offered this year, but not all formats will be available in all locations (see registration for what’s offered in your area):
Live in-person Cohorts: Groups facilitated in-person at churches, offices, or homes. Days and times vary based on location’s schedule.
Zoom Cohorts: Cohorts are facilitated via Zoom. Participants can gather a huddle that joins the call together, or you can sign up as an individual. There are four Zoom options this round of Cohorts.
If you have any questions about which format is right for you, please email us at pdt.cohort@novo.org
Commitment
Attendance: Attendance is expected at each meeting. You will be going through this Cohort journey with a small group of people (your Cohort Huddle), and you will also be connecting with your Huddle in between meetings either in person or virtually. We know life is full, but the expectation is that you carve out space in your life and calendar to invest in this Cohort for all six modules. Please check the meeting dates for your location and compare against your calendar prior to registering. We give you all the dates ahead of time so you can block out your calendar far in advance.
Experimenting: The power of this Cohort is that it is experiential and discovery-based. There will be a short time of teaching followed by time to experiment together with a specific prayer tool during the meeting, AND you will experiment on your own between gatherings.
Cost: Part of Novo’s calling is to equip and mobilize the body of Christ around the world. As such, Novo offers this course free of cost to all participants. There are optional costs of purchasing printed copies of the Cohort Workbook and Novo booklets, but those are also available to be downloaded for free from the online learning platform you’ll gain access to when you register.
Reading: For each module, we will be providing a few chapters of recommended reading to help you prepare for that session's topic. Most of the reading is not required, but you're highly encouraged to complete it so you'll have a foundation on which to build. Several recommended books can also be purchased online:
Required: Cohort Workbook - printed copy available to purchase or download as a free pdf (also available in Spanish)
Required: Novo Booklets - printed copies available to purchase bundled with the Cohort Workbook, or download as pdfs, or listen to the audiobooks for no cost.
Required: Spiritual Authority for Every Believer White-paper - download the pdf
