Transworld Accrediting Commission International 9085 California Avenue Riverside, California 92503 951-901-5586 “I would recommend this school to everyone!” Wanda, Student 22 World Harvest Bible Institute ‘Statement of Faith’ THE BIBLE - The Bible is the divinely inspired and infallible Word of God; we accept it as our only authority and guide. THE TRIUNE GOD - There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. MAN’S FALL - MAN’S REDEMPTION - Man is a created being, made in God’s likeness. Through Adam, sin entered into the world (Romans 3:23), and because of sin, every man is separated from God; but God had a plan. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, man’s sins are totally paid for. (Romans 5:19) Now, all men can receive God’s very own life. (John 3:36) Through His grace, salvation is a free gift received by faith. (Eph 2:8) THE NEW BIRTH - For man to come to God and be saved, he must first repent and receive Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. (John 1:12) WATER BAPTISM - Water baptism by immersion is a direct command of Jesus Christ our Lord and is to be enacted after one receives Jesus as their Savior. This divine ordinance identifies one with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. (Matt 8:19; Romans 6:4) BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST - This promise is for every believer, as spoken by Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8) and is for the empowerment of the believer to be a witness of Christ to the world. It is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking in “unlearned languages” as the Spirit gives the ability. DIVINE HEALING - Healing is the right and privilege of every believer in Christ, was bought and paid for at Calvary to provide supernatural healing of all human sickness, disease, and pain. (Isaiah 53:4) RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD AND THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST - Jesus Christ is going to return to earth. His coming is near at hand. When He comes, “the dead in Christ shall rise first”, and those that are alive in Christ on earth will be “caught up together with them in the clouds” to meet the Lord. (1 Thes 4:16) All believers will receive a resurrected, glorified body at the time of His return. (Phil. 3:29; 1Cor. 15:53-54) ETERNAL JUDGMENT - Those who die in Christ will escape the judgment of God’s wrath, but the one who dies without Christ is eternally lost. They will ultimately be thrown into the Lake of Fire and will have no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. (Heb. 9:27) PERFECTING HOLINESS - God’s Word teaches the believer to advance steadily into spiritual maturity, a process that continues until Christ returns, and we finally become “as He is”.

Hagin This important course outlines the five ministry gifts that Jesus gave to the church as outlined in Eph 4:11.

Hagin Significant Seed - Perpetual Harvest by Rick Thomas Does God really care how I spend my money? What portion of my income belongs to God and what can I do with the rest? These are questions many sincere Christians ask themselves. As the student will discover in this in-depth course, the Bible refers to stewardship of finances from beginning to end. Learn how applying the principles of “seedtime and harvest” can change how you view finances forever. 2013 November Demonology and Angelology: “Deliverance from Demonic Powers” (THE 235) Books: Know Your Enemy by Norvel Hayes Angels to Help You by Lester Sumrall Demons: The Answer Book by Lester Sumrall A good sporting coach or any war strategist would tell you that in order to win a contest or conflict you must know your opponent. Paul states in 2 Corinthians11 that we are not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices and schemes. Demonology will take the student through the scriptures to learn who the devil is, how he and his demons operate, how to resist him and how to cast the devil out. 2013 December OFF 2014 January Faith II: “Releasing God’s Power for You” (required) (THE 238) Books: Understanding How to Fight the Good Fight of Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin What to Do When Faith Seems Weak and Victory Lost by Kenneth E. Hagin This course takes faith to the next level. The students will learn what it means to “walk” by faith, how to release faith through words of your mouth, and to turn difficult or hopeless situations into opportunities for victory. You will learn about the different levels of faith that Jesus referred to in the gospels, as well as how to grow from one level of faith to the next in your own life. 9 2014 February Love: “The Way to Victory” (THE 239) Book: Love: The Way to Victory by Kenneth E. Hagin Love is the first fruit of the Spirit. Love is the only law of the New Covenant. Love is the very definition of who God is. In this course the student will receive the import of the subject of love throughout the Bible, how it is the nature and the motivation of all that Jesus was and is. Love is the “key” to all successful relationships and ministry, and the most direct way to victory in every situation. 2014 March Soul Winning: “Developing Confidence in Sharing Your Faith” (required) (EVA 101) Books: Winning Your World by Mac Hammond The Ministry for Everyone by Norvel Hayes Soulwinning by T.L. Osborn This course outlines the Biblical mandate for personal and local evangelism as well as worldwide missions, and offers inspiration and practical applications on how these may be accomplished. You will discover the three “P’s” of evangelism; the Plan, the Problem and the Provision, and learn about the 5 different styles of evangelism: Confrontational, Intellectual, Relational, Service and Invitational. This class will take all the fear out of sharing your faith! 2014 April OT Survey I: “Know Your Roots” (OTS 100) Book: Old Testament Survey by Kevin J. Conner & Ken Malmin This introductory course is designed to give a patterned glimpse into the books of the Old Testament in its entirety. The student will study the key points of each book: title, author, date, key words, phrases and verses. You will also get the import of the message and how Christ is seen in each book. The course is taught in such a way as to make the Old Testament come alive. Every Christian will benefit from this important study. 2014 May Homiletics: “Learning to Present the Gospel Message Effectively” (PTH 223) Books: Keys to Better Preaching by John Garlock Preaching on Your Feet: Connecting God and the Audience in the Preachable Moment by Fred R. Lybrand This is a course on the principles of preaching and teaching the Word of God. The student will learn the importance of preparing to address a class or congregation with exhortations, lessons and sermons for the purpose of edifying the Body of Christ. Several proven preparation methods will be explored and each student will have the opportunity to present their prepared lesson to the class as well as “student-teach” in one of the many church ministries. 2014 June Righteousness: “Operating in the Force of Righteousness” (THE 330) Books: The Force of Righteousness by Kenneth Copeland Two Kinds of Righteousness by E.W. Kenyon 2 Cor. 5:21 tells us that “God made Jesus who knew no sin to become sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him”. There are two kinds of righteousness described in the Bible. The righteousness of “being” as God has made us new creatures in Him and the righteousness of “doing” to walk out all His Word and His will. Through this course the student will gain the knowledge of the new creation and learn to walk in the power of righteousness. 10 2014 July OFF 2014 August God’s Generals/Pentecostal History: “Knowing Your Godly Heritage” (required) (HIS310) Book: God’s Generals by Roberts Liardon This course will chronicle the lives and work of some of the great leaders in the faith in Pentecostal History. The student will receive an overview of their lives, their teachings and their spiritual discoveries, as well as insight into why some succeeded and some failed in their ministries.

Dunnett While it is important to examine specific passages and scriptures, those familiar chapters and stories take on new dimensions when seen as a part of the sweeping panorama of the Bible. This course takes a survey approach that will deepen your knowledge of God and, in turn, enrich your life. You’ll gain an overview of the entire New Testament, consider the respective writers and their writings, and lay a solid foundation for understanding the message and revelation of Jesus Christ. 2014 October Faith I: “Real Faith for Real Victory” (required) (THE 237) Books: Mountain Moving Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin Exceedingly Growing Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin Real Faith is the heart and can grow and increase in the life of the believer. Jesus told us in Mark 11:24 that “whatever things we desire in prayer, we are to believe that we receive them and shall have them”. We are also told in Hebrews that “without faith it is impossible to please God”. Obviously this subject of faith should be paramount in our study of the Scriptures. This course will enable the student to understand what real faith is, as opposed to mental assent, and how it is to be used in the everyday life of the Christian. 2014 November Pneumatology: “How to Be Led By the Holy Spirit” (THE 310) Books: How You Can Be Led by the Spirit of God by Kenneth E. Hagin Following God’s Plan for Your Life by Kenneth E. Hagin In this course the student will learn about the Third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit, and His leading in the life of the believer. Paul stated in Rom 8:14 that “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” You will learn the different ways God leads His church, and how you can recognize the inner witness, the still small voice and the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit in your life. 2014 December– OFF 2015 January Prayer: “Praying to get Results” (required) (DVA 110) Books: Bible Prayer Study Course by Kenneth E. Hagin The Art of Prayer by Kenneth E. Hagin In James 5:16, the Amplified Bible tells us that the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man “makes much power available”. Prayer is our lifeline to God, and it is also God’s conduit to get His power into people’s lives and circumstances here on earth. In this course the student will learn the different types of prayer 11 described in the Bible, intercession, worship, consecration and the prayer of faith and more. You will grow in your knowledge and your ability to participate in all the different aspects of prayer. 2015 February World Missions: “Fulfilling Your Call to the Nations” (EVA 310) Books: Eternity in Their Hearts by Don Richardson Unveiled at Last by Bob Sjogren Jesus made it clear in Mat 24:14, that “this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” What part does the average believer have in completing this specific, yet awesome task? In this course, the student will learn about the “top line” blessing that God has for the church, and the “bottom line” blessing that the church must deliver to the world. You will discover the heart of God for missions as it is revealed from Genesis through Revelation. 2015 March Christology: The Life and Person of Jesus Christ. “Abundant Life In Knowing Him” (THE 410) Book: For Us and for Our Salvation by Stephen J. Nichols From His miraculous birth to His miraculous resurrection, Jesus’ story is filled with the supernatural. His was the greatest life ever lived and the greatest story ever told. Every deed done and word spoken by Jesus was proof that God the Father still loved and intended to save the sick, impoverished, oppressed world. Jesus Christ, Healer and King, is still the same today. In this course, the student will not only gain knowledge of the life of Christ, but a whole new awakening of the effects of His person on our world and lives today. 2015 April Healing: “God’s Divine Plan for Your Health and Healing” (required) (THE 236) Books: Christ the Healer by F.F. Bosworth The Healing Anointing by Kenneth E. Hagin “Is healing in the plan of redemption?” “Does God care if I’m sick or is He trying to teach me something?” “Is it OK to go to the doctor?” Have you ever wondered these questions yourself? Or have you ever longed for the power to alleviate suffering in others? This course outlines the full plan of redemption that does include deliverance from sickness. The stripes that Jesus bore on His back redeemed us from the pain and misery of sickness that came as a result of the fall of man. Come learn the full scope, from supernatural healing to the responsibility we have in the natural to care for our temples. 2015 May Spiritual Gifts:”Experiencing the Power From on High” (THE 221) Books: The Holy Spirit and His Gifts by Kenneth E. Hagin Spiritual Gifts and Their Operation by Howard Carter Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not want them to be ignorant about spiritual gifts. Sadly today, many in the body of Christ are not even aware of what these gifts are, much less how to experience and utilize them for their own benefit and the benefit of others. The student will study all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and will learn how God uses these gifts to empower His church. You will also learn the purpose and the function of all nine gifts and how to exercise them. 2015 June Authority of the Believer: “Enforcing Satan’s Defeat” (THE 230) Books: The Believer’s Authority by Kenneth E. Hagin Your Spiritual Authority by Charles Capp This course clearly identifies the authority of the believer over all the works and power of the enemy. Jesus triumphed over demonic principalities and powers, then instructed His followers to go and enforce that delegated authority as a policeman would enforce the natural laws. The student will learn the “legal” 12 standing that every believer has in Christ and how to use that authority to enforce Satan’s defeat. 2015 July—OFF After only 1 year in Bible School, I have grown exponentially in revelation and knowledge.

If you wish to take a course or courses without earning a degree, the enrollment process and cost is the same, but you are not required to take the exam. How do I enroll in WHBI? It’s easy! To enroll, just complete an application. There is no application fee. How do I register for a course? Open registration starts for each course one month before the course. Sign up at the Bible Institute table in the lobby, pay your tuition, and receive your textbooks and syllabus for that course.
