The Cross At The Center - Part 1 | Derek Prince

The cross distinguishes Christianity from all other religions. It is the source of all grace, the basis of Satan's defeat, the door to God's secret wisdom, the ultimate demonstration of God's love. Therefore, it needs to be at the center of the Church and at the center of our lives.

You don't need any other teacher than the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and Derek Prince

[@JabezAbayneh]

Holy Spirit teaches through Derek and inspired the Word of God, so we only need the Spirit of truth to guide us into all the truth!

[@beany1944]

These days, pastors/ ministers dont give you half a chance to follow along in the scripture, nor do they teach you in depth like late Derek Prins. It's all about flashy lights, songs, and yelling from the stage, not a pulpit but a stage loaded with music instruments.

[@derekgudmundson4613]

Try a different church brother

[@Uptown59]

There is nothing wrong with a stage full of musicians and their instruments. Some musicians are saved to. But if that's what you focus on, that's on you.

[@elzeliebowitzcoetzee7526]

Amen to DP in depth teaching. In 75 years have I not experienced such clarity and understanding of Gods Word

[@mercyk2672]

I agree. I just thank God that our pastor really emphasizes godly principles on the pulpit and actually uses the Bible, not notes

[@WKDMOUSE67]

Singing and praising the Lord is part of worship. It is in the psalms and Old Testament. The Cross and the Blood of our saviour hallelujah amen.

[@vanehl3]

It grieves me deeply when I go sometimes to Church ,to see how much emphasis there is on taking money from people , or flirt around too much carnality’s, too much wrong motives , where is true repentance? , help to the poor and the needy?the lame, the cripple , they should be at the center .thank goodness for Derek prince and his teachings .

[@frehiwotkidane2898]

I wish I would have been in a position to to be taught even would have that generation of the time of this man of God's Generation. However this is just a wish. Since LORD only is the very Perfect Designer of everything which comes and goes regarding all things and time. I hope LORD PROTECTS THIS GENERATION HEART AND MIND NO MATTER THE EVIL throws too much trials and tests on us.

[@ellenarnett3527]

Simple truth setting us free! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! 💕

[@darrylbailey3279]

God thank for Pastor Derek Prince.

[@WKDMOUSE67]

May prayer and scriptures give you comfort in your saviour who will guide us through all tribulations. God bless hallelujah amen.

[@dingiswayomakukula4118]

Great teacher Mr Prince was

[@benvyule779]

Derrick Prince, was a great teacher of God's word, unlike any other i ever heard. I think a lot of it came from his college days of teaching. He was sent by God and chosen before he was born. Thank God for giving him to the world. May you R.I.P, YOU MAY BE GONE BUT YOUR WORDS AND WORK WILL LIVE FOREVER.AMEN.

[@ortenciahill5848]

ACTS is the Answer! And COMMANDMENT! Be filled with Him! And be PROTECTED!

[@emiliageh4735]

Great teacher. Missing you Derek Prince. Thanks for your messages. Always teaching the truth of JESUS CHRIST. Not this comedians we have today call pastor's.

[@kathywilson126]

Amen!❤️😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Beth-ju7nb]

Derek Prince taught so well because he practiced holiness himself- read his biographies, he simply walked with God, doing what God told him, as far as he could. He didn’t get seduced into using his ministry to get rich, become a celebrity, or go off the rails sexually. A real model for today’s preachers, and all of us. Now in heaven but still teaching us online, a medium he would never have imagined!

[@DonnaQuick-rr1hx]

The one thing that I see that is so important that is missing in the churches today is the truth, seems like people don't want to know the truth but the truth is the only thing that sets us free, and with out truth no man shall see God

[@DonnaQuick-rr1hx]

And I do not believe that these leaders in the mega churches are true pastors but I do believe that they are Freemasons this is why it is so important for us to read the Bible for ourselves

[@421sap]

In Jesus' Name Amen ✝️

[@VaradiAttila]

Thank you so much for this! Do you also have the second part?

[@heather80237]

Awesome teaching

[@user-sv5xd3vn6i]

十字架の素晴らしさを教えて下さり感謝します。やはり、聖さということを考えました。キリストとの結合です。また、剪定は父にまかせるように分かち合う？といわれました。 この事を言って良いのか、迷うとき、主が教えて下さいといつも祈っています。今のところ、全てを益にして下さいます。全てのことの中に、神の栄光が現れますように！

[@kennethaldrich2854]

Special Blessings. A+Team. Vr, Jesus Christ. Best, Ken.

Eloi! Eloi! Lama Sabachthani? My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? [Matt 27:46 & Mark 15:34] Why did Jesus cry out with this question? Jesus hung on His cross for six hours. It is my understanding that for the first three hours He suffered the normal torture that crucifixion is intended to inflict. However, the final three hours were unspeakably different. The sun was blotted out, the sky went dark and the real suffering began as the full fury of Gods’ wrath and punishment for the collective sins of the world was poured out upon Him. This punishment was meted out full measure, not only 'in' the presence of the Father (as symbolized by the darkness ie: Gods’ presence in Judgement & punishment), but 'by' the Father Himself. Yet not one complaint was heard from our Lord during the horror of this ordeal. He willingly became our sacrificial Lamb and bore the burden of our sin in Himself. However, the full and final consequence of sin is total, absolute, and eternal, separation from God. Therefore, in order for Jesus to redeem us fully, He had to endure that final and worst imaginable insult, the complete separation from His Father, which he had not, in all of eternity, ever before experienced. This, seemingly unexpected agony, coming at the end of a long day of ever intensifying torture, was by far the most shocking experience of our Lords’ ordeal in completing His selfless act of sacrificial love and obedience to His Father in securing the redemption of His most special and most loved creation, mankind. So, when Jesus cried out, “My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me?”, (directing those present to Psalm 22) He was, at that darkest, most despairing, most shocking and unbearable moment, suffering the ultimate consequence of sin (my sin / your sin) experienced in the total abandonment of, and separation from, Abba Father. This single experience was far more agonizing than the preceding three hours of darkness and judgement, added to the three hours of regular crucifixion experienced previous to that, combined with the prior torture at the hands of the Romans and the initial betrayal and humiliation at the hands of His own people who had violently and cruelly rejected Him, falsely accused Him, had Him illegally tried, illegally tortured and then illegally murdered. Jesus cried out, not in physical agony, but in the deepest agony that soul and spirit could possibly experience … the agony and desolation of total and complete separation from God. And in the same moment, His suffering being at last complete, and our ransom having been fully paid, the judgement ceased. The darkness of Gods’ total absence (in judgement & punishment), preceded by the darkness that had accompanied His presence (in judgement) was then immediately lifted, and the light of His presence in ‘restored fellowship’ returned. The debt had been paid in full, the legal requirement and demand of the Law was fulfilled, the ordeal was over … It was finished. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprTnIyYg7SWr6ssi=2Ie8WPD0q4x_WV54 888AussieMate (25 November 2023)

[@laurens8623]

Isn't it better to say the name Jesus not the one within as many think there is another power within

[@spiraltype2320]

i was puzzled by that bit [just that bit ] as well

[@KtwsN]

I kinda thought the same thing 🤔 It seems so opposite of how he usually speaks on these matters. BUT still such an awesome sermon! ❤

[@mygirlsh65]

Thank you, this is much needed in the church today.
