Today we will discover how God is training us as His Army. Whether we realize it or not, we are in an ongoing war with unseen forces.

Derek Prince

Derek Prince (1915–2003) war ein britischer Philosoph und charismatischer Bibellehrer, der nach Stationen in Kenia und den USA vor allem von Jerusalem aus international wirkte. Bekannt wurde er durch seine systematischen Schriftauslegungen, seine Lehren über Befreiung und generationelle Flüche sowie seine zeitweise führende Rolle in der wegen autoritärer Kontrollstrukturen kritisierten Shepherding-Bewegung. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet sein umfangreiches Werk verständlich aufbereitete Bibelarbeiten, erfordert jedoch aufgrund seiner speziellen Dämonenlehre und heilsgeschichtlichen Zuspitzungen eine differenzierte Prüfung.
