The following is what is on this ONE MP3 CD
70DPMP3CD3-06 – Derek Prince – PERSONAL TESTIMONY - (1 of 5) - Derek begins by
saying you can’t argue with someone’s testimony because they have lived it. He
says he is going to tell about a new phase of his ministry that began around
1962 with a little background information on himself. He was born in India to
British parents, spent 5 ½ years in the British army around 1946 as a medical
orderly with 4 ½ years overseas. He became a Christian and received the Holy
Spirit and was called by God after he began studying the Bible about one year
into his military service. At the age of 25 he was a resident professor of
philosophy in Cambridge University. He was a pastor in England for 8 or 9 years
and spent 5 years as a missionary in Kenya. At the end of 1961 he and his wife
went to Denmark for a visit and he went to a favorite place where God spoke to
his mind (not audibly) asking, “Are you satisfied or do you want to go further”.
He believed Ecclesiastes 5:1-5 and told God he would think on it and come back.
When he went back he told God “No, I’m not. If there is anything further I want
it.” God’s answer to him personally was: 1. Be willing to go forward in faith
and 2. You will need a strong body (He had been putting on too much weight). He
then went on to become a pastor in 1963 in Seattle, WA of an Independent
Pentecostal Congregation in which he was introduced to deliverance through a
unique experience which he relates in this teaching. He said he has been a
full-time minister from 1946 until the present *approximately 24 years at that
time). He tells the teaching God gave him concerning the book of Joel on
desolation, restora-tion and judgment explaining that the desolation affects
every area of the inheritance of God’s people, also clarifying the fig tree and
the vine. Derek says God’s people need to be purified, reunited and empowered
then go out and do the job that has been waiting for 19 centuries to be done.
Preach the gospel in all the world for witnesses in all nations. He dismisses
this interesting teaching/testimony after a word of prayer.
70DPMP3CD3-07 - Derek Prince – STEPS TO DELIVERANCE – (2 of 5) - We don’t need
to try and improve on the methods Jesus used – just continue doing as He did. In
Steps to Deliverance, Bro. Prince shares on the necessity for understanding that
demons have an intellect and they will do everything they can to use that to
your destruction. They have a will, emotions, knowledge and self-awareness and
they can speak through the vocal cords of the one they are occupying. Another
step in the deliverance process is to first determine if the problem is the old
adamic nature or if it is demonic. You can’t cast out the flesh – it must be
crucified. You can’t crucify a demon – it must be cast out. He addresses
features that commonly indicate the presence of an evil spirit in a person’s
life. For example: Restlessness (cannot sit still, always talking, obsessive,
compulsive) Another strong influence is childhood experiences. He has found that
well over 50% of the people he prays for, their problems can be traced back to
their childhood. A child has a weak spiritual defense and if he or she is
subjected to consistent demonic pressure, it is almost impossible for that child
to keep those demons out. An atmosphere of disharmony and strife between father
and mother automatically creates an atmosphere in which the children are subject
to demon pressure. He looks at particular areas of deliverance, showing how, if
you want deliverance, you can receive it. The message closes with prayers for
deliverance. This teaching is given with such clarity and enhanced by common
sense examples, really helping someone to understand the need for deliverance in
the Holy Spirit filled believer.
70DPMP3CD3-08 - Derek Prince – FALSE RELIGIONS – (3 of 5) - He makes the bold
statement, “I suppose for every one person the devil deceives by atheism, there
must be a thousand persons in hell whom he deceived by religion. False religion
has deceived humanity down through the ages, century by century, in untold
numbers. And this situation has not changed today.” The Bible warns us very
clearly that deceptions of religion are going to increase in a remarkable
measure. And those that believe are going to be subjected to every kind of
pressure to seduce them from their true faith. He deals with two main forms of
deception in this teaching: 1) Departures from Christianity – that is deceptions
which claim to have their origin in Christianity, and often lay claim to the
title of Christian. 2) Those types of religion or spiritual activity which lay
no claim to being Christian. With reference to departures from Christianity, 1
Tim 4:1-5, You cannot depart from the faith unless you have been “in the faith”.
This activity is traced directly to evil spirits or demons. They are called
seducing spirits and the teachings they bring forth are called doctrines of
demons. The ultimate goal of these seducing spirits is to win people away from
the Lord, Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 2:1-3, False teachers in the church, privily
bring in heresy that bring damnation. Heresy is not rejecting Scripture totally,
it is choosing how much of Scripture you will believe. No heresy that rejected
all Scripture would deceive the Christian. What is deceptive are those
presentations that present Scripture but reject certain portions of it. The
heresies this Scripture refers to bring damnation. They cost those who believe
them the salvation of their souls. The devil does not begin with denial of the
truth, he begins by calling them in question. For example: The serpent did not
start with Eve by saying “You won’t die.” He did not immediately present the
lie. He began by asking the question, “Yea, hath God said?” In other words, is
it really necessary to believe? When Eve entertained his question, then he
followed up with a direct denial of what God had said. The remedy for error is
not to expose error – it’s to present the truth. There are only two sources of
supernatural power – God and the devil. Derek takes the listener deep into the
Scriptures that reveal the evil supernatural activities – those which have never
laid claim to being Christian. When he talks to people about the dangers of
dabbling in horoscopes, Ouija boards, card reading, etc., they will tell him
they only did it for “fun”. He tells them that in the Old Testament they would
have been put to death for doing that for “fun”. Those using supernatural powers
from the dark side are often right in their predictions – sometimes with amazing
accuracy – but that doesn’t make it right – it is still evil. His understanding
of witchcraft is “to seek to control other people by the use of a spirit which
is not the Holy Spirit.” He concludes this message with instructions of how to
be free, prayers of confession, renunciation and loosing.
70DPMP3CD3-09 - Derek Prince – HOW TO KEEP YOUR DELIVERANCE – (4 of 5) - In this
message, Derek demonstrates the ability to submit to authority. His life
reflected the discipline necessary to walk in deliverance, qualifying him as a
teacher of deliverance. The key Scripture is Joshua 1:8. “This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein;
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.” Included in this study: 1) What prevents deliverance. 2) Sin that must
be confessed before man as well as God. 3) Three things that prevent
deliverance. 4) How to maintain deliverance. 5) Weapons of war. 6) Six things to
focus on to keep the devil off center stage. No one wants to be a failure. This
message teaches you how to succeed and walk in freedom.
70DPMP3CD3-10 - Derek Prince – THE CROSS – YOUR EXECUTION! – (5 of 5) - Other
than the message of salvation, this is the second most important message for
every Christian to hear. Are you Christ's or are you not? They that are Christ’s
are crucified. Many Christians have never heard the truth about divine
execution. Have you ever submitted to execution? This is the distinctive mark
that you belong to Jesus Christ - in that you have crucified that old, carnal,
rebellious nature, with its affections, emotions, doubts, fears, unbelief, and
lusts. And don't forget, these are just as much a product of the old carnal
nature as adultery and drunkenness. And of the list of those that go into the
lake of fire in Revelation, those that head the procession are the fearful and
the unbelieving. They that are Christ’s have crucified these affections & lusts.
We do not let the senses dictate and tell us what we are to do. The majority of
Christians are under the dictates of the carnal nature. It can be very polite,
very respectable, very religious - and very deadly. The enemies of the cross are
those whose god is their belly. He quotes Don Basham who said he has learned
that his stomach does not tell him when to eat - he tells his stomach when he
will eat. Who is the master and who is the servant in your life? There are two
distinct aspects to the cross. 1) What Christ did on the cross FOR you and me.
2) What the cross will do IN you and me. The cross was a substitution act -
Jesus took it all. Everything He did was a substitute for us. He took it all for
us. Wherever sin enters in, the curse follows. And because Jesus was made sin
for us, He was also made a curse for us. The curse was exhausted on the cross.
Every last vestige of satan's power over us was removed at the cross. The cross
is a big red stop sign. We need to learn to live on the right side of the cross.
There is a place in God where the devil cannot touch us. Derek enjoyed seeing
the demons tremble - because of the name of Jesus! Our greatest enemy is our old
nature - that root of rebellion. Addictions are just branches. We must deal with
the trunk, the ax. Put an ax to the root of the problem. There is only one
solution for the old nature. God doesn't reform him, he doesn't patch him up,
and he doesn't send him to church. The only solution is execution! The execution
has already taken place at Calvary. Your believing that doesn't change the fact
- it only changes you. Oh, how we have been deceived about what salvation is.
What is death to sin? He tells of a man who cursed, drank, and abused his wife
and children. Time after time, the wife and children would go to church, only to
come home, to the man blaspheming, swearing and abusing. One night they come
home, he was sitting in the chair, the TV was on, the whiskey was beside him,
the cigar was in the ash tray, but there were no words of cursing, blaspheming,
or abuse coming from his mouth. He had died while they were at church. That is
our example of death to sin. It can be all around us but none of that adamic,
carnal, lustful nature has any hold on us. We are dead. Bro. Prince concludes
this service with a call to come forward to be executed. He then prays toward
that end. There is a tremendous anointing on this entire message and service.
70WCMP3CD7-03 – Derek Prince – HOW TO FIT INTO THE PURPOSE OF GOD - This message
begins with the following questions - What is God doing in the world today? What
are the purposes which direct the Lord in what He is doing? How can we fit into
the purposes of God in this day? Reference is made to Isaiah 59:19 - 60:5 in
that the west applies to U.S. in this scripture and God is at work in the U.S.
and all over the world. To sum up the world today, he says it is the powers of
the enemy and the powers of the Spirit of the Lord. Shall we glorify the Lord or
satan? In looking at the background of religion we see the negative, and are
small- minded. What is going to control us? What the Lord is doing or what the
devil is doing? For a Christian to be a pessimist is wrong. Romans 8:28 says you
make a choice – negative thinking or positive thinking with blessings of the
Lord. Someone has said unbelief is the dark room where we develop our negatives.
In every aspect of life the enemy has moved in and is threatening the well-being
of our nation. The enemy has come in like a flood. But Derek wants to talk about
what God is doing, not emphasis on what satan is doing. Just when there is no
hope the Holy Spirit moves in. He gives some examples on military tactic
comparisons in the spirit. Isaiah 10:18 speaks of the besiege of a tremendous
army. The standard bearer of God’s army is the Holy Spirit who lifts up the Lord
Jesus Christ - the Spirit and the Word working together. He asks two questions:
Do you ever believe a situation will arise in the world where God will no longer
be able to fulfill His promises? Do you believe the devil will ever be able to
give such power to those who serve Him that God will not be able to give greater
power to His people? The majority of Christians act as though there is nothing
we can do but sit back and watch it happen. Remember, no matter how dark it gets
the light is getting lighter. When light and darkness meet it is always darkness
that has to retreat. Ephesians 6:12 – Do you believe we can win this warfare?
Then Derek gives us 7 successive processes or phases that are involved in
bringing about what he has spoken on with scrip-tures and explanations of each.
He summarizes saying the first 4 of these phases are of preparation and the last
3 phases are of activity and then closes with Revelation 22:10-12 – parting of
ways – dark is getting darker, and the light is getting lighter. We have to
decide where we stand. This very informative teaching ends with prayer with the
congregation.
