I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus... For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.” (Romans 8:1, 3)
There are two kinds of coffee: percolated and instant. Percolated coffee takes longer to make because it has to go through the brewing process. The book of Romans is like percolated coffee. We cannot get instant coffee out of Romans chapter 8. We must go through the preceding seven chapters. Those are the percolator. But the result is that much richer. Only when we have been through those chapters do we get to the “therefore.” The preceding chapters deal with the total sinfulness of all humanity, as well as with the failure of religion to change man’s sinful nature. Using the examples of Abraham and David (see chapter 4), with a comparison between Adam and Christ (see chapter 5), Paul moves on in chapter 6 to reveal God’s remedy for the old man: ex*****on. God doesn’t patch up the old man. He doesn’t reform him. He executes him! The good news is that this ex*****on took place when Jesus died on the cross.

Romans 7 deals with our relationship to the Law. I always used to think, Why come to the law after all that? But I have learned that the ultimate hurdle we have to get over, the last stage of this percolator, is how we relate to the Law. Without the percolator, we cannot live in Romans 8, because the essential condition is “no condemnation.” The moment in which we come under condemnation is the moment when we are out of the Spirit-controlled life of Romans 8. The devil’s main objective is to bring us under condemnation. The objective of God’s Word, especially in Romans, is to deliver us from condemnation.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I am free from the devil’s efforts to bring me under condemnation, and there is no condemnation for me because I am in Christ Jesus. I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Freedom from Legalism
8 June 2026
By Derek Prince

I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
In Romans 8:15, Paul was speaking to Christians baptized in the Holy Spirit, and he said:

“For you did not receive the spirit of bo***ge again to fear.”
Bo***ge means enslavement. Paul was warning Christians not to let the devil get them back into slavery. And the suggestion is very clear that the form of slavery to which they would be enticed to return would be that of religious slavery—subservience to the law from which they had been delivered when Jesus died on the cross.

The whole of the book of Galatians deals with this very issue of not being enslaved by religious legalism after having been set free by the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. As a matter of fact, Paul treated that issue as something much more severe and dangerous than even sexual sins, such as fornication or adultery. It is quite remarkable, but the epistle to the Galatians is the only one of Paul’s epistles that he does not open by giving thanks to God for the people to whom he was writing. So upset was he by what the Galatians were doing that he launched straight into his subject.

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ” (Galatians 1:6)
This is a clear example of religious demons bringing people back into the slavery of legalism. Let us heed Paul’s emphatic warning:

“Be not entangled again with the yoke of bo***ge [slavery]” (Galatians 5:1, KJV)
Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I proclaim that I will not be enslaved by religious legalism after having been set free by the gospel and by the power of the Holy Spirit. I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Total, Permanent Victory
7 June 2026
By Derek Prince

I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
The sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross is the only basis of God’s provision for every need of the whole human race. Instead of God doing a lot of different actions at different times, Scripture says:

“By one offering [sacrifice] He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified” (Hebrews 10:14)
The writer of Hebrews explained that after Jesus had offered that one sacrifice, He “sat down at the right hand of God” (verse 12). Why did He sit down? Because He was never going to have to do it again.

Through His work on the cross, Jesus administered to Satan and his kingdom a total, permanent, irreversible defeat. Jesus will never have to do that work again. Satan has already been defeated. You and I do not have to defeat Satan. But we must apply the victory that Jesus has already won and walk in that victory.

We read in Colossians 1:12:

“Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”
Our inheritance is in the light, and there is no darkness whatsoever in it. It is totally in the light. How has He done it?

He has delivered us from the power [I prefer to say “domain”] of darkness and conveyed [translated] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (verses 13–14)
By redemption through the blood of Jesus, we have been delivered from the domain of darkness and translated, or carried over, into the kingdom of the Son of God’s love.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I proclaim that through the cross, Jesus administered to Satan and his kingdom a total, permanent, irreversible defeat. I apply the victory Jesus has won, and I walk in that victory, for I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Greetings.

These past 3 months have been busy and exciting as we remembered Jesus’s death, burial and glorious resurrection and today the Ascension and promise that he will return the same way he went. There has been a deeper sense of the Lord’s presence in the worship in churches this year. People are engaging seriously in worship. With the world around changing so much all the time and things being more unstable people are seeking the Lord and finding Him to be the Rock they can trust. Families are being challenged, children and students are under pressure as the pace of life gets faster and faster.

Replacing the Old Sinful Man
6 June 2026
By Derek Prince

I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
Providing complete deliverance from the tyranny of sin required a threefold provision of God. First of all, He had to deal with our sins—the sinful acts we have all committed. Because Jesus paid the full penalty for our sins on the cross, God can forgive us without compromising His own justice. His first provision, therefore, is forgiveness.

Then, God also had to deal with the corrupt nature within us that caused us to go on committing those sinful acts. His provision was ex*****on—to put that sinful nature to death. The good news is that the ex*****on took place more than nineteen centuries ago, when Jesus died on the cross.

That not the end, however. God’s purpose is to replace the old, sinful man with a new man of His own creating. Paul explained this provision in the book of Ephesians, saying:

“Put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man... and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and... put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:22–24)
We should not assume, however, that the old man will passively accept his sentence of ex*****on. On the contrary, he will struggle—fiercely, at times—to regain his control over us. This explains Paul’s words of warning in Colossians 3:3, where he said, “For you died.” Then, in verse 5, he said, “Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth.” We must stand in faith that the death of our old man is an accomplished fact, and we must actively resist his attempts to regain control over us.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I proclaim that on the cross, Jesus put my sinful nature to death, replacing it with a new nature. I actively resist my old man’s attempts to regain control over me, proclaiming that I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Nothing Shall Hurt Us
5 June 2026
By Derek Prince

I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
“For He [God] delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13–14, NASB)
Through our faith in Jesus and His sacrificial death, God has delivered us from the domain of darkness. Notice that word domain. In the original Greek, it is authority. Satan has authority over the disobedient, the unbelieving, and the unsaved. But through Jesus, God has delivered us from that domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption.

Note the key word redemption. We have been bought back. We are no longer under the power of the curse, because of the redeeming death and shed blood of Jesus Christ.

“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)
Why did Jesus come? To destroy the works of the devil. That includes the curse!

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
Satan may have power, but Jesus has given us power over the power of Satan, so that “nothing shall by any means hurt [us].”

Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I proclaim that Jesus has delivered me from the domain of darkness, and that He has given me power over all the power of Satan, so that “nothing shall by any means” hurt me. I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Quote from the book, "Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting."
God searches our motives, and He discerns the reasons for which we pray: “You understand my thought afar off” (Psalm 139:2). What, then, is the right motive for bringing our requests to God in prayer? Jesus provided the motive in John 14:13: “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Our prayers must be prayed in sincerity, with the motive that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in answering them.
In this, also, Jesus Himself is the perfect pattern. When He was informed that His friend Lazarus was sick, His answer was, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it” (John 11:4). We see that when the Son is glorified, the Father is glorified in turn. Jesus’s main purpose in raising Lazarus from the dead was to bring glory to the Father.
This agrees perfectly with Paul’s statement, previously quoted, concerning our right to claim God’s promises: “All the promises of God in Him [Jesus Christ] are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20). We have already emphasized that in Christ, all God’s promises are made available to us. However, the supreme purpose for which these promises are given is indicated in the phrase “to the glory of God.”
Thus, the strength of our faith is linked to the purity of our motive, and both, in turn, determine the effectiveness of our prayers. The more sincerely we seek God’s glory, the more effective our prayers become.

You can make a difference in these volatile times. In Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting, you will discover the simple, yet powerful, tools you need to have an impact on the destinies of nations.

A Clean Record

4 June 2026
By Derek Prince

I have been forgiven and set free from my sins
One of the most wondrous aspects of God’s nature is that when He forgives, He does not partially forgive. He totally forgives. Micah stated this beautifully:

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7:18–19, NIV)
Isn’t that beautiful? Everything that we have ever done wrong—everything that could ever make us feel guilty, every accusation that the enemy could ever bring against us—God treads underfoot and hurls into the depths of the sea.

Someone remarked once that when God casts your sins into the sea, He puts up a notice that says, “No Fishing!” Don’t ever try to go back and resurrect something that God has buried. If God has forgiven you, you are forgiven. There are no questions. God’s forgiveness is total. In Isaiah God speaks to His people, saying:

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25)
When God forgives us, He blots out the record. It is clean. It is just as though that which was forgiven had never taken place. Not only does He blot out the record, but He blots it out from His own memory. He says that He will remember our sins no more.

God does not have a bad memory, but He does have the ability to forget. And when He forgives, He forgets!

Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness. I proclaim that God’s forgiveness for me is total: He has blotted out my record and it is clean. I have been forgiven and set free from my sins. Amen.

Quote from the book, "Bought With Blood."
Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
It is no use trying to please God without faith; that is impossible. What must we believe? According to Hebrews 11:6, we must believe two things concerning God: “that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Most people believe God exists. That is not enough. You must believe that if you seek God diligently, He will reward you. Faith is essential, but something else is essential, too: diligence

In this powerful and life-changing book, you will discover how repentance, faith and a relationship with the Holy Spirit can make the realities of Christ's sacrifice present and active in your life.

Worship: The Consummation
3 June 2026
By Derek Prince

Jesus was cut off by death that we might be joined to God eternally
In John 4:23–24, Jesus said that the Father is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Worship is a function of the spirit. What is the act by which we are joined to the Lord as one spirit? Worship. That is why worship is the highest activity of human beings.

When we are joined to the Lord in worship, we begin to bring forth or birth the things that God wants brought forth. Worship is not a sort of appendix to the Christian life. It is not an afterthought, a mere addition to our services. Worship is the culmination — it is the confirmation. If I may say this without offending anybody, worship is the consummation of our marriage to the Lord. It unites us with Him as one spirit. When we have that marriage union, it is always for the sake of procreation. That is when we procreate; that is when we bring forth spiritual fruit. By “spiritual fruit,” I mean the fruit of the Spirit, which is listed in Galatians 5:22–23: “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

The people who bring forth the kinds of fruit specified in this passage do not need to be governed by the law. They are not under the law. They have escaped from their marriage to the flesh under the law, and they are free to be married by the Holy Spirit to the resurrected Christ and bring forth the kind of fruit that is appropriate to that union. The key to the Christian life is not effort. It is union.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Jesus, for Your work on the cross. I proclaim that as I worship the Lord, I am united to Him in one spirit. I proclaim that Jesus was cut off by death that I might be joined to God eternally. Amen.
