Derek Prince Legacy Radio International

The Authority and Power of God’s Word (1) Jan 11, 2016 In this week’s teaching, Derek addresses the authority of the Word of God and the power behind and in it. Today he explains how the Bible was written by various fallible men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to put down in words what He directed them to write.

The Authority and Power of God’s Word (2) Jan 12, 2016 Derek looks at how Jesus dealt with Satan when he questioned what God had said. It is the same ploy used on Eve and others throughout history. Jesus quoted directly from the Word of God; and He is our example for how we should deal with spiritual warfare in our lives.

The Authority and Power of God’s Word (3) Jan 13, 2016 Derek explains that the authority behind the Scripture is the Holy Spirit, who causes those truths to work in our lives bringing discernment, life, and power. The Word has the ability to separate the soulish from the spiritual, revealing the thoughts and intents of the heart of man.

The Authority and Power of God’s Word (4) Jan 14, 2016 Today Derek continues teaching how God has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness through the promises He has made in His Word. He then begins a look at the effects God’s Word can have in your life–what it will do for you as you feed on it.

The Authority and Power of God’s Word (5) Jan 15, 2016 Derek finishes the teaching from this week by going through the effects God’s Word can have on your life. God’s Word produces faith, it is the seed of the new birth, and it is spiritual nourishment. It produces illumination, provides physical healing, and makes possible victory over sin and Satan. It also provides cleansing and holiness, and is a spiritual mirror.

Founded on the Rock (1) Jan 4, 2016 In this first of a series of teachings on Laying the Foundation, Derek uses the picture of constructing a building to show how important laying a solid foundation is to building the Christian life. There is only one foundation for this structure, and we must be sure our lives are built on Jesus Himself.

Founded on the Rock (2) Jan 5, 2016 Derek uses a dialogue between Jesus and Peter to give four phases we must all experience when we encounter Jesus: confrontation, revelation, acknowledgement, and public confession. Each of us at some point will come to a critical moment when we openly acknowledge or deny our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Founded on the Rock (3) Jan 6, 2016 In today’s program, Derek shares two ways in which we can wisely begin to build on our foundation. But first, there are issues in our lives to be dug out of the way—such as traditions and prejudices. No matter what culture you grow up in, there are things that need to be eliminated.

Founded on the Rock (4) Jan 7, 2016 Derek continues providing three more issues that must be dealt with: preconceptions, unbelief, and rebellion. He then asks, “What is your attitude to the Bible?” Do you realize that Jesus and the Bible are both referred to as “the Word”? Your attitude toward one is your attitude toward the other.

Founded on the Rock (5) Jan 8, 2016 Derek finishes this week’s teaching by summarizing what really makes a disciple. Jesus told His disciples that if they loved Him they would keep His words and that He and His Father would come to indwell them. Love is the motivation for obedience to Jesus, His Word, and the Father. Your obedience in love is what draws them.

Secure in God's Choice (1) Derek begins this new study by looking at who God is. Behind the entire universe there is a person, a Creator, who is also a Father. If we can embrace this, we will have a totally new perspective on ourselves, our lives, and everything that goes on around us. All things, including you, have their source and fulfillment in God.

Secure in God's Choice (2) Today Derek explains that God is behind and in control of the whole universe. He controls the stars, human history, the nations, and our individual lives. More important still, God has a plan for each one of our lives and He is working these out just as surely as He is controlling every other area of the universe.

Secure in God's Choice (3) Using Romans 8:29–30 as his text, Derek begins to look at the seven successive stages of God’s plan for those who love Him, who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior, and who have become members of God’s family. The culmination of this plan is that we will share Christ’s glory and sit with Him on His throne throughout eternity.

Secure in God's Choice (4) The first stage in this study to contemplate God’s foreknowledge. He knows everything about each of us. Derek here delves into the psalms to illustrate this by examining how we were formed. God knew every process our bodies would pass through and when each member would be formed. In like manner, He has a plan for each of us.

Secure in God's Choice (5) In this second stage Derek stresses that because God foreknew us, He chose us for His own purposes. He knows who we are and what we can be. As we say yes, He enables us to walk in His grace to fulfill those purposes. He foreknew you and chose you because He knows what you can accomplish together.

Secure in God's Choice (6) To be predestined means that God has arranged in advance the course that your life is to follow. Derek makes clear you are not an accident looking for a place to happen. Instead, you are part of an eternal plan. You’re destined to become a member of God’s family, and it all takes place through His grace and for His glory.

Secure in God's Choice (7) Today Derek moves this study from eternity into time as he explains God’s individual call on and looks at the how this impacts each of us. Called simply means to be invited or summoned. God confronts us with a call that demands a response. Our positive response leads to salvation and determines the whole course of our lives.

Secure in God's Choice (8) Derek describes this next stage as salvation from sin—from its guilt, its condemnation, its power, and its defilement. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit described by three successive phases: a washing or cleansing, a regeneration or a rebirth, and a renewal or a new creation. You must believe in your heart God raised Jesus from the dead, and you must confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord.

Secure in God's Choice (9) What does it mean to be justified? Derek says to be justified means I’m “just-as-if-I’d never sinned.” God’s own righteousness has been reckoned to me as a gift. And this comes on the basis of my faith in what Christ accomplished through the cross and through His resurrection. No guilt, no shame, no punishment.

Secure in God's Choice (10) Derek finishes this study by bringing out that these works God has done in us are in the past tense. They have been done; we just need to grasp that and live in them through faith. This is heavenly reality. God made us alive together with Christ and seated us with Him in heavenly places. Through His ascension we are glorified—we are in the glory of heaven with Him.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (1) In this new series Derek is concerned with our learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit so we may become mature sons of God. When we are born from above by Him, we enter as babes, children of God, destined to become sons. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to lead us in this venture, so we need to get to know Him.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (2) Derek emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is a person, the third person of the Godhead. He is just as much a person as God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son are. He was sent to be with us forever and we need to acknowledge His presence and Lordship over our lives.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (3) In today’s study, Derek looks at the relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which is a key to the entire ministry of Jesus. Jesus did nothing until the Holy Spirit came upon Him and then waited for the Holy Spirit’s direction all things. This is a perfect example for how we are to live, taking on the nature of lamb to attract the dove, the Holy Spirit.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (4) Today Derek explains that the Holy Spirit can do for us what no other can do. Power, might, and sound judgment can be produced only by the Holy Spirit through His inward working in our hearts and lives, where He changes us and conforms us to the likeness of Jesus.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (5) Derek speaks about the relationship between the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, who is the author of the Word. The Holy Spirit directed men to write it, and He knows just what it means. He will also reveal it to us if we will but ask Him. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself. He never teaches anything that is contrary to the Word which He Himself gave.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (6) Today Derek shares that the Holy Spirit is the only source of effective guidance and power in our prayer life. He mentions four kinds of prayer: that which is directly based on God’s Word, that which is directly inspired, supernatural prayer in an unknown tongue, and deep intense travailing prayer.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (7) Derek reveals that God is not impressed by the wisdom of this world. There is another kind of wisdom which seems foolish—that of the cross—which is imparted by the Holy Spirit and is contrary to the spirit of this world. To be truly wise you have to be prepared to lay down the wisdom of the world.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (8) Today Derek looks again at 1 Corinthians to add that God isn’t impressed with human strength. For us to have divine strength and power, we must become weak by the standards of this world. The key to this divine weakness which gives strength is found only at the cross.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (9) Derek warns against the most common hindrance to being led by the Holy Spirit. This is called legalism. Do not seek to achieve righteousness with God by observing any law or set of rules. Never impose requirements for righteousness that God Himself hasn’t imposed. We are to be free from relying on human effort.

How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit (10) As we finish this study on the Holy Spirit, Derek addresses two kinds of unions, one in the flesh and one in the Spirit. As we identify with the death of Christ, we are dead to the claims of the law and free to be united in a marriage relationship to the living Christ. In this way we become one Spirit with Him through the Holy Spirit.

Longing for His Appearing (1) Derek begins this new study on the return of Jesus by first taking a closer look at those who are actually longing for His return. These are the ones who are eagerly awaiting that time when they will be given a crown of righteousness. Then Derek challenges us with this simple question: “Are you qualified?”

Longing for His Appearing (2) For what reason should Christians be longing for Christ’s appearing? The first is that at His return our personal salvation will be completed. Our corruptible, dead bodies will be changed into glorified bodies, just like the glorified body of Jesus.

Longing for His Appearing (3) Today Derek looks at what Christ’s return will mean to Christians when we are finally all assembled together as His bride and His body. Derek gives a picture of the marriage of Jesus with His bride, the Church. The bride has made herself ready, and the universe is exulting. What a reason to long for His appearing!

Longing for His Appearing (4) Derek points out that the return of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom is the only hope for suffering humanity. It is only the return of Jesus that will put an end to war, poverty, sickness, oppression, injustice, hatred, and more. Only His return will bring righteousness, peace, relief, and deliverance to the oppressed, sick, and suffering.

Longing for His Appearing (5) In today’s study Derek points out that all creation is looking forward to the return of Jesus when the sons of God will be revealed in all their glory. When Adam and Eve fell, creation was subjected to the circumstances of sin. But at Christ’s return, redemption will encompass all creation as well as man.

Longing for His Appearing (6) Throughout the New Testament God’s requirements for holiness are nearly always linked with the anticipation of the Lord’s return. This is echoed by the exhortation of the writers of the New Testament. It is the strongest single motivation for holy living, and if we are truly motivated in that way, then we will live holy lives.

Longing for His Appearing (7) Today Derek speaks about the bride who has made herself ready for Christ. She has clothed herself in fine linen, which are the righteous acts of the saints. We have been created in Christ Jesus for good works, each strand of which will make up our clothing. It is up to each one of us to seek the Lord about what He has for us to do.

Longing for His Appearing (8) Jesus said there would be signs taking place, which will lead up to the end times. Derek reveals how they are present even today. As we see these things happening, we are exhorted to be on the alert, guarding our hearts and praying so that we may be ready for that day.

Longing for His Appearing (9) Derek shares one specific sign Jesus said would herald the end of the present age and His return in glory. That sign was the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom to all nations in the whole world. It is Priority Number 1—to move out ahead of the forces of evil and carry out this task with great urgency.

Longing for His Appearing (10) Derek finishes this study by pointing out that all nations will have the gospel preached to them—and that includes the Jewish people. At some point the full number of the Gentiles will be brought into the kingdom and the hardening of the Jewish hearts will end. That will open wide the door of salvation to the Jews. Derek exhorts us to give hope and comfort to them, which will hasten the day of Jes

Learning by Living (1) In this new study, Derek shares with us the most important practical lessons about the life of faith he has learned from his experiences. He begins with his most outstanding message: God is faithful, and discusses how this theme runs throughout the Bible.

Learning by Living (2) Today Derek emphasizes that you receive your calling from God on the day when you are saved. He then challenges us to decide to do whatever it takes to find and fulfill that calling. We must make it our goal to put our calling first in our life, and as we do, we will find that other things fit into place.

Learning by Living (3) Derek takes the calling of God and extends it by showing us that we are to be servants. Even though that may entail suffering, we must first be servants of the Word and then servants of the people. If these are the other way round, it can lead to many problems. Nothing else can come before serving the Word of God.

Learning by Living (4) We all have battles in our minds—in our thoughts. Our minds are at enmity with God, hostile to His Word, and need to be changed. Today Derek explains, through the Word and personal experience, how we must fight our way through discouragement, doubt, and fear to walk in victory in truth.

Learning by Living (5) One of the mental fortresses we battle is pride. Derek stresses that the essential condition for receiving the Word of God is humility. He shares that in the process of self-humbling we must put down pride and choose humility instead. As we do so in God’s sight, He will give us the grace to succeed.

Learning by Living (6) Derek continues his teaching this week on learning by living; by looking at some vital practical lessons he learned in serving God and His people. Today he emphasizes the importance of what we say with our mouths—whether we mean what we say, or not. Scripture makes it clear that we are responsible for what we say. Your words indicate what is in your heart.

Learning by Living (7) Just what is the gospel of the kingdom? Derek points out the need for the gospel message to be presented fully. He tells us the “good news” culminates in the kingship of Jesus coming into each person’s life. It is to be an inward kingdom consisting of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Learning by Living (8) Derek uses the experience of his wife, Lydia’s, death to expose us to the reality of this temporary life. Instead, we must hang on to the strength and truth of the eternal. We should be willing to give up what we have here in this life, trusting that God cares and has a plan for us. In the midst of all that is impermanent and fading, it is only the Word of God that is enduring and permanent, unsha

Learning by Living (9) In looking at the first commandment, Derek asks, “Who (or what) is your God?” As Christians, we must be totally committed and loyal to God; He tolerates no rivals. We cannot love God and continue to love the world with its materialism, rebellion, sin, and self-pleasing. If God is in first place, your source, you will have a solid foundation.

Learning by Living (10) As Derek finishes this study, he shows us, from the book of Colossians, that all things of God are available to us in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the image of God and all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him. All that God has, has been provided for us in Christ, and it is through our understanding of the riches in Him that we receive of His fullness.

Decision is Yours, The (1) To begin this two-week study, Derek delves into the foundational difference of a person’s spiritual experience: is it based upon your will or your emotions? It is a person’s will that decides to serve God. Man is a three part being—made of spirit, soul, and body—and it is in the soul that makes decisions.

Decision is Yours, The (2) In today’s study Derek looks at two decisions made by David in Psalm 103. These decisions are to bless the Lord and to remember His benefits. “To bless the Lord” is to adopt a right attitude toward God—in humility, reverence, acknowledgment, and bowing. “To forget not” means we remember the blessings of the Lord; we focus our mind on the Lord’s benefits.

Decision is Yours, The (3) Derek teaches on making the decision to praise God in all circumstances, no matter whether we feel like it or not. Praise brings satisfaction to the ones who have made that willful decision. Have you decided to bless the Lord at all times and to have His praise continually in your mouth?

Decision is Yours, The (4) Today Derek makes the distinction between repentance and remorse. To repent means to change your mind (this is a decision), and then you must go in a different direction (this is the action you take). Remorse is an emotion, and not a decision. Repentance determines our destiny for time and eternity.

Decision is Yours, The (5) Derek finishes this week by stressing the importance of responding to God when He speaks to you. Repeatedly ignoring or sidestepping His promptings can cause you to be rejected. This is not God’s will for you.

Decision is Yours, The (6) Derek continues this week on the necessity of making decisions. Today he looks at the importance of forgiving others so that we will be forgiven by God. If we do not forgive why should God to forgive us and answer our prayers? Remember that forgiveness is not based on feelings; it is based on obedience to God’s Word.

Decision is Yours, The (7) Today Derek looks at character trait of humility, which is the decision to humble yourself. God tells us to humble ourselves and then He will exalt us. Whatever our circumstances are, we have the ability to choose whether we will take the road to humility, as Jesus did, or lower ourselves by being prideful in whatever form it may take.

Decision is Yours, The (8) Derek reads from the words of Moses to the people of Israel as they were preparing to cross into the Promised Land. They could choose life and blessing or death and cursing; Moses advised them to choose life. Later, Jesus presents us with choice. Will we choose Jesus (and life), or will we choose Satan, the thief, who comes to steal, kill, and destroy? We each have that choice.

Decision is Yours, The (9) Derek confronts us with a decision today; whether we will choose blessings or curses. Blessings come upon us when we hear God and obey what He says. Curses come from not hearing and obeying. It is up to you to make the decision which course to take in your life.

Decision is Yours, The (10) In finishing this study, Derek explains how Christ became a curse for us when He hung upon the cross. He exhausted every curse for each of us so we would not have to bear them. Then He gives us the opportunity to acknowledge the finished work of Christ on the cross and receive the blessings in our lives as a result.

Patience (1) In this week’s study, Derek focuses on patience and what the Bible has to say about it. He distinguishes between patience and perseverance in Scripture. Perseverance implies strength, effort, endurance, and pressing forward. Whereas patience is essentially waiting. Remember, God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

Patience (2) Today Derek speaks about God’s patience. God waits—and doesn’t act on things immediately. God has a time for everything and knows when and how to deal with people. Using as examples of waiting, Derek examines the lives of Pharaoh and Paul. This brings out our need to be patient with other people.

Patience (3) Raising Lazarus from the dead is the example Derek uses today to show us the value of waiting. If it was important for Jesus to wait—to get God’s direction before proceeding—imagine how important it is for us, too. Timing can be extremely crucial in all that we do if we want success.

Patience (4) In today’s teaching Derek takes a look at the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David. We will see how they were able to grow in patience. As we see their successes as well as their failures, we can learn from their experiences.

Patience (5) Derek finishes this study on patience with five principles for growing patience in our lives. First, we recognize that patience is essential; second, we submit to God’s discipline; third, we learn to see God’s hand in frustrations that come our way. Fourth, whenever we fail in respect of patience, we confess it as sin and repent. And fifth, we cultivate a sensitivity to God’s timing.

From Time to Eternity (1) In the first day of this study, Derek points out that eternity is an essential element of the nature of God. Eternity, by definition, denotes that which is outside of time or above time or beyond time—something that has no beginning and no end. God is an eternal being. He does not indwell time; He indwells eternity—and out of eternity, He operates in time. We can have eternal life only through kno

From Time to Eternity (2) Today Derek explains why there is an internal conflict in man. That is, we love things in this natural world, but all the while knowing there is something better. Taking a closer look at creation, we see that man has two sources: the dust from below, the Earth; and God’s in-breathed breath from above. That is what we yearn for—the eternal element.

From Time to Eternity (3) In today’s study Derek looks at what happens when someone is reborn through receiving Jesus. God comes into our lives by His Spirit and rekindles that life of God which was born in us through creation. We get back in touch with eternity—and with eternal life.

From Time to Eternity (4) Derek speaks to situations where our enjoyment or value of the things of this life may have ended in disappointment, tragedy or frustration. God uses these events to remind us to keep a looser grip on the things of this world, but to hold fast to God and to the eternal.

From Time to Eternity (5) Derek finishes the week by pointing us forward to the ultimate satisfaction which God has provided for man’s reborn spirit. We may go through afflictions here on Earth, but they are nothing compared to the glory we will experience when we are at last home with the Lord.

It Cost All He Had (1) Derek begins a new series entitled “It Cost All He Had.” What a difference it makes when you realize that this earth and this universe are not just a series of accidents, but everything was perceived out of the loving heart of a Father God. Learn how you’re part of His divine, eternal plan conceived in love.

It Cost All He Had (2) Let’s listen today as Derek continues to bring to light illustrations from the Word of God that demonstrate God’s fathomless, never-failing love for you and for me. Hear how God made the greatest investment in the universe for you.

It Cost All He Had (3) Today, we will gain a greater understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as Derek examines and explains how Jesus fulfilled prophecies. There was great purpose in everything that happened to Jesus. His sacrifice for us was complete … and completely powerful … to free us from sin and give us eternal life with Him.

It Cost All He Had (4) Today, Derek is going to pick up where he left off describing the sevenfold shedding of the blood of Jesus. Listen as Derek explains how each event in the life of Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament … and how our salvation “Cost All He Had.”

It Cost All He Had (5) It’s vitally important for us, as Christians, to fully understand the price Jesus paid for our salvation. You are so important to God that He sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins just so you could spend eternity with Him! Let’s listen as Derek continues to give us insight about the sacrifice of Jesus … and what that means to us.

Victory Over Death (1) Is there something in you that Death: The Universal Appointment flinches just for a moment at the mention of the word "death"? Is your first reaction to not listen to this program? If so, that may be a sure indication that you need to listen to this program and to listen carefully to what Derek Prince is saying.

Victory Over Death (2) Mar 24, 2015 Some people don't realize that there is a spiritual world. They think everything begins and ends in this world and there's nothing beyond. But the spiritual world is as real and objective as the physical world. The really important difference between the two worlds is that the physical is temporary and transient; the spiritual is eternal and unchanging.

Victory Over Death (3) Mar 25, 2015 What is a kinsman-redeemer? Under the law of Moses and in the culture of Israel in the Old Testament, the kinsman-redeemer had two main responsibilities. The first, to avenge a near kinsman if he was murdered; and the second, to marry the widow of a near kinsman if he died. This is what Christ is for us.

Victory Over Death (4) Mar 26, 2015 Atonement is the work Jesus accomplished through His death on our behalf. The word is made up of three sections: "at," "one," "ment." Atonement is at-one-ment. It restores the sinner to God's favor. It's reconciliation.

Victory Over Death (5) Mar 27, 2015 The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the heart of the Christian message. In fact, without the resurrection there is no Christian message. It all revolves around the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is not a philosophy or a theory. It is a fact of history.
