Derek Prince Legacy Radio International

Today we will look at this command to love and the example Jesus gave His disciples. They were charged to love each other just as He had loved them. This is how the world will know that we are truly Christians. Derek then speaks to Christians who are called to teach or to preach, as he stresses that the biblical goal of their instruction should be love.

Derek begins this study on revival by looking at some statements of Jesus relating to the importance of the law and how to fulfill it. What is “the righteous requirement of the law” written about in Scripture? It is love—to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. Are you prepared to fulfill the law?

Derek looks at the importance of love in the exercise of our faith and through the operation of spiritual gifts. If we are not using these gifts in an attitude of love, we are operating out of our flesh. This will not be profitable for us personally. We all must make love our aim.

In today’s study, Derek relates an experience of the love of God that was poured out on him through prayer for a group of people in the Sudan. Then he begins to provide a list of steps that will bring God’s love to perfection in us. This he will do over the next few days in a succession of seven stages of character development.

Finishing this week’s study, Derek goes over the last three stages of the “love walk.” He then confesses to having not loved as he ought to have many times, and leads us in a prayer asking forgiveness for failure to love one another as Jesus has loved us.

God’s Word is supernaturally powerful. And, to that end, Derek brings out some very interesting and compelling Scriptures in today’s lesson. He also said: “If the Spirit of God propels the Word of God through your mouth, it is as effective as it was when God spoke the universe into being.” Listen now to hear more on this astounding truth.

We can actually release the judgments and blessings of God that are written in the Scripture through the “Power of Proclamation.” God has given us the ability to affect change not only in our lives personally, but also bring about change for loved ones and even for entire nations!

Today, we’ll hear some examples from Derek of what he referred to as “self-defense” Scriptures—Scriptures we can proclaim for very specific situations in our personal lives. We believe you’ll be greatly encouraged by what he had to share.

Today we begin a power-packed series—one that could literally change the course of your life. As you listen, you’ll discover the many benefits of proclaiming the Word of God in your life, and how you can affect the lives of others through “The Power of Proclamation.”

Derek issues a challenge to us to move beyond praying and proclaiming for just our own needs. Instead, we need to get past what he called “self-defense” proclamations, and rise up to a more aggressive level of proclamation. Become involved in praying and proclaiming over national and international affairs, too.

Derek finishes this series by speaking about the power of praise to silence the enemy and the avenger. God has given this ability to our mouths—to use words to praise Him and to proclaim His Word over all situations. As we continual to do this, victory is assured. We will see the defeat of our enemies.

Derek begins this final talk by looking at the end-time church in the book of Revelation to describe who are overcomers. Jesus spoke to the seven churches in the early chapters, giving promises to everyone who overcomes. God has made it possible to overcome and He expects us to overcome. But we must do our part.

Derek finishes looking at how the works of the flesh operate by manipulation and intimidation. He then begins looking at witchcraft in its second aspect, through such things as spells and curses. Derek uses the example of Balaam from the Old Testament, who was what we might call a witch doctor.

Today we look at weapons useful in our warfare. These weapons are not carnal but spiritual, reaching deep within the battlefield of the mind. We must guard against division in the church, and know and proclaim the whole of God’s Word. Are you ready to fight?

Today we will look at what was going on in the spirit realm during Daniel’s twenty-one day fast. From the first day Daniel set his heart to seek God, the angel Gabriel was sent to speak with Daniel but was held back by demonic activity in the heavens. Michael the Archangel was sent to help Gabriel to get through. This story will bring clarity to our understanding of unseen things when we seek God.

Derek finishes this week’s study by looking at how witchcraft can gain control within the church through legalism and the works of the flesh. When this happens, we find we are no longer trusting in the supernatural grace and power of God. Instead, we are trusting what we can do in our own strength.

Derek turns to the book of Revelation to look at the Lion, who is the Lamb, to contrast Him to the Antichrist who is identified as a wild beast. He then comments on the work of the beast on earth with most of humanity worshiping him, and how he will persecute the saints.

In Ephesians Paul tells us to take up the whole armor of God. Derek highlights the fact that it is the believers who must take it up, put it on, and also use the weapon of “all prayer.” Derek then shows us the need to use the supernatural gifts of God to demonstrate the reality of God’s power. We proclaim the gospel while confronting the powers of darkness.

Finishing this first week’s study, Derek highlights several areas by which Satan attempts to rule over men, beginning with rebellion, then pride. Satan’s two main ambitions are to dominate the whole human race, and to receive worship. Witchcraft, the natural religion of fallen man, permeates the whole human race.

Today we look first at divination, or fortune-telling, which is the knowledge element of witchcraft. Second comes sorcery, or occult activity, which is usually done through objects such as potions, charms, music or drugs. The third area of witchcraft is that which works within the church to obscure the revelation of the reality of Jesus Christ crucified.
