Derek's main gift of explaining the Bible and its teaching in a clear and simple way has helped buil

Derek Prince (1915-2003) was born in India of British parents. Educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, England, he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King’s College. He also studied several modern languages, including Hebrew, and Aramaic, at Cambridge University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. While serving with British army in

World War II, he began to study the Bible and experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Out of this encounter he formed two conclusions: first, that Jesus Christ is alive; second, that the Bible is a true, relevant, up-to-date book. These conclusions altered the whole course of his life, which he then devoted to studying and teaching the Bible. Derek’s main gift of explaining the Bible and its teaching in a clear and simple way has helped build a foundation of faith in millions of lives. His non-denominational, non-sectarian approach has made his teaching equally relevant and helpful to people from all racial and religious background. He is the author of over 100 books, 600 CDS and 200 DVDS teachings, many of which have been translated and published in more than 100 languages. His daily radio broadcast is translated into Arabic, Chines (Amoy, Cantonese, Mandarin, Shanghaiese, Swatow), Croation, German, Malagasy, Mongolian, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Bahasa Indonesian and Tongan. The radio program continues to touch lives around the world. Derek Prince Ministries continues its ministry of reaching out to believers in over 140 countries with Derek’s teachings, fulfilling the mandate to keep on “until Jesus returns”. This is effected through the outreaches of more than 30 Derek Prince Offices around the world, including primary work in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, The United Kingdom and The United States.

Praying in the Will of God
7 September 2026
By Derek Prince

My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him
The prayer of petition is a prayer that we use to make requests of God. It has a legitimate, albeit small, place in prayer, for God knows what we need before we even ask Him. Many people think that praying means going to God with your shopping list. But that is not what He needs or requires.

We all have needs, from time to time, but if we can learn to pray, that is the greatest answer. As my friend Bob Mumford used to say, “What should I do? Give people just one nugget out of the mine or show them the way to the mine itself?” I might pray for you, and you might be healed—that is a gold nugget. But I could also show you the way to the mine. Then, you could get as many gold nuggets as you wanted.

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14–15)
So, if we have a petition, and we are praying in the will of God, we should end that petition knowing that we have what we asked for. If we pray according to the will of God, then we know He hears us. If we know He hears us, we know we have that for which we have asked.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that You know me completely. I proclaim that when I pray according to the will of God, I know that He hears me. And if I know that He hears me, I know I have that for which I ask. My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him. Amen.

God Is in Control
6 September 2026
By Derek Prince

My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him
When we comprehend the completeness of God’s knowledge—His foreknowledge, in particular—it gives us the assurance that no matter what happens, God is never taken by surprise. There is no such thing as an emergency in the kingdom of heaven. Not only does God know the end from the beginning, but He Himself is both “the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 21:6). And He is always in total control.

God specifically knows those whom He has chosen to be with Him in eternity.

“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29)
If, by the mercy and grace of God, we make it through to that glorious, eternal destination, Jesus will never greet any one of us with the words, “I never expected to see you here!” Rather, He will say, “My child, I’ve been waiting for you. We couldn’t sit down to the marriage feast until you came.” At that glorious banquet, I believe that every place setting will carry the name of the person for whom it is prepared.

Until the number of the redeemed is complete, God waits with amazing patience, “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that You know me completely. I proclaim that God is always in total control; He is never taken by surprise. My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him. Amen.

Jesus’ Supernatural Knowledge and Wisdom
5 September 2026
By Derek Prince

My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him
The supernatural knowledge and wisdom of God was manifested throughout the earthly ministry of Jesus, but perhaps never more clearly than through His dealings with Judas Iscariot. When the disciples told Jesus, “We have come to believe and know that You are the Christ [Messiah], the Son of the living God” (John 6:69), Jesus gave them an answer in which He revealed that being the Messiah would entail being betrayed by one of His own followers: “‘Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?’ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve” (John 6:70–71). Jesus knew, by the Holy Spirit, that Judas would betray Him, even before Judas knew it himself.

Even so, Judas could not carry out his plan until Jesus spoke a word that released him to do so. At the Last Supper, Jesus warned His disciples, “One of you will betray Me” (John 13:21). When questioned about who it would be, Jesus replied:

“‘It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.’ And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, ‘What you do, do quickly.’ ...Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately.” (John 13:26–27, 30)
I am awed by the realization that Judas could not carry out his plan to betray Jesus until Jesus Himself spoke the word that released him to do it. Throughout this whole scene, it was the Betrayed, not the betrayer, who was in control.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that You know me completely. I proclaim that Jesus manifested the supernatural knowledge and wisdom of God, who knows all. My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him. Amen.

God Knows All
4 September 2026
By Derek Prince

My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him
Closely related to the eternal nature of God is His omniscience. In 1 John 3:20, we are confronted with a profound yet simple revelation:

“God… knows all things.”
There is nothing that God does not know. From the tiniest insect in the earth to the most distant star in the galaxy, there is nothing that God does not know completely.

God knows things about us that we do not know about ourselves. As I wrote yesterday, He knows the number of hairs on each of our heads (see Matthew 10:30).

God knew the number of inhabitants in the city of Nineveh (see Jonah 4:11).

He knew—and controlled—the growth of the plant that shaded Jonah. He also knew—and controlled—the action of the worm that caused the plant to wither (see Jonah 4:6–7).

The apostle Paul wrote about the things that “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man” (1 Corinthians 2:9). He continued:

“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (verse 10)
The Holy Spirit both plumbs the deepest depths and scales the highest heights of all that was, is, and is to come. His knowledge is infinite. It is in the light of this infinite knowledge that we must each be prepared to give an account of ourselves to God. “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13).

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that You know me completely. I proclaim that God’s knowledge is infinite—there is nothing He does not know. My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him. Amen.

God Knows Me Completely
3 September 2026
By Derek Prince

My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him
God knows each of us totally, even beyond knowing how many hairs are on our heads (see Matthew 10:30). In this beautiful passage from Psalms, David began with what seems like a gasp of astonishment:

“O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence?” (Psalm 139:1–7, NASB)
Think about what David said: God knows our thoughts from a distance. A man who once had a revelation of God related that the angel who brought the revelation told him, “Men’s thoughts sound as loud in heaven as their voices do on earth.” That was a shock to me. But that is essentially what David said here.

Surely, when we consider all of that, we must echo these words of David: “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.” David asked, “Where can I go from Thy Spirit?” That is the key that explains how God knows everything in the whole universe—through His Spirit. The Spirit of God permeates the entire universe; there is no place where the Spirit of God is not present. Through His Spirit, God knows everything that we know, and more—He knows things we can never know, such as the number of hairs on our heads.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that You know me completely. I proclaim that through His Spirit, God knows everything that I know about myself and more. My Father knows what I need, even before I ask Him. Amen.

What God Has Done!
2 September 2026
By Derek Prince

In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter
When Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the temple separating a holy God from sinful man was torn in two, a declaration that we can have His acceptance (see, for example, Matthew 27:51). It was torn from top to bottom so that nobody could ever say that a man was responsible. This act was done by God. The torn veil is the Father’s invitation to every person who believes in Jesus, “Come in; you are welcome. My Son has endured your rejection so that I may offer you My acceptance.”

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” (Ephesians 1:3–4)
Notice that this ultimate choice is not ours, but God’s. Do not imagine that you are saved because you chose to be saved! You are saved because God chose you, and you responded to His choice. You might change your mind, but God does not change His.

There is a great deal of misplaced emphasis in many contemporary presentations of the gospel that seems to indicate that everything depends on what we do. It is true that we have to choose, but we would never be able to choose if God had not chosen us in the first place. You will find you are much more secure as a Christian when you are basing your relationship with God not on what you do but on what God has done. God is more dependable than you and I!

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that I am Your child. I proclaim that I am a child of God, based not on what I do, but on what God has done. In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter. Amen.

God Chose in Advance

In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” (Ephesians 1:3–4)
God foreknew us, and, on the basis of His foreknowledge, He chose us. You are not where you are because you made the choice; you are where you are and who you are because God made the choice. That truth makes a world of difference to your attitude toward yourself and your situation, both of which were initiated by God. You did not set your life in motion; God did.

God not only foreknew us, but He also predestined us. Some people are afraid of the word predestined and what it implies. I want to suggest to you that it merely means that God arranged, in advance, the courses that our lives would follow. As Paul stated in Romans 8:29, “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined.” He worked it all out in advance.

Then, in Ephesians 1:11, Paul wrote:

“We have obtained an inheritance [in Christ], being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”
This assurance should give you security. You have been predestined; the course of your life has been arranged in advance by the One who works out everything in the way He plans it. He works all things according to the counsel of His own will.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that I am Your child. I proclaim that the course of my life has been arranged in advance by the One who works everything the way He wants it. In love, my Father predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter. Amen.

Welcoming the Prodigal
31 August 2026
By Derek Prince

In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter
Let us review a central truth illustrated in the parable of the prodigal son, which Jesus related to His disciples in Luke 15:11–32. The father was out there looking for his boy to bring him back home. Other people did not have to come and say, “Your son’s come home!” because the first one to know it was the father. He knew it before the rest of the family found out.

God’s attitude toward us in Christ is like that. We are not rejects. We are not second class citizens. We are not just servants. When the prodigal came back, he was willing to be a servant. But his father would not hear of it. On the contrary, he said:

“Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” (verses 22 –24)
The whole household was turned upside down to welcome the prodigal.

Likewise, Jesus said:

“There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent” (verse 7, NIV)
That’s how God welcomes us in Christ.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that I am Your child. I proclaim that God welcomes me in Christ, rejoicing that I am alive. In love, my Father predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter. Amen.

The Best Family in the Universe
30 August 2026
By Derek Prince

In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter
Sometimes there are problems with earthly parents that can never be resolved. But, friends, it does not matter if nobody wanted you, nobody loved you, or your parents were not even married. When you come to God through Jesus Christ, you become a member of the best family in the universe, and God has no second class children.

God’s family is the best family. There is no family quite equal to it. Again, even if your own family did not care for you — perhaps your father rejected you, your mother never had time for you, or your husband never showed you affection — God wants you. You are accepted. You are the object of His special care and affection. Remember, everything He does in the universe revolves around you.

As I wrote earlier, when God says that we are accepted, He does not mean tolerated. We never bother Him. We do not upset Him or disturb Him. We never take too much of His time. The only thing that upsets Him is when we stay away too long.He does not push us off into a corner and say, “Wait. I’m too busy. I don’t have time for you.” Rather, He welcomes us eagerly and lovingly.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that I am Your child. I proclaim that by coming to Jesus Christ, I have become a member of the best family in the universe. God welcomes me, because in love, my Father predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter. Amen.

Family: A Shared Life Source
29 August 2026
By Derek Prince

In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter
We are all members of God’s family because we all have one Father. Jesus is our elder brother, and we are all members of the same family.

Let me relate a little incident that comes to mind when I think about the family of God. It happened in the days when some of the Scottish Christians up in the Highlands were being severely persecuted by the English army. On her way to a secret meeting of believers, a Scottish lass was arrested by an English policeman, who asked her where she was going. She did not want to lie, but she also did not want to betray her fellow believers, so she lifted her heart to the Lord in prayer and asked Him for an answer. This is how she responded to the policeman: “My elder brother died, and I am on my way to my father’s house to hear the will read.”

That was a good answer. Jesus is the elder brother, God is our Father, and it is our Father’s house.

What is the essential feature of the family? I believe it is a shared life source. God the Father is the life source of us all, and we are together in His family. It is not an institution, not an organization, but a life source that we all share.

What is required of us, as members of God’s family? I suggest that it is mutual acceptance. Jesus calls us His brothers because God calls us His sons. If God calls our fellow believers His sons, we have to call them our brothers. That is not always easy. You may choose your friends, but you do not choose your family. Even so, we must accept one another.

Prayer Response
Thank You, Father, that I am Your child. I proclaim that I am a member of God’s family, with God as my Father and Jesus as my elder brother. In love, my Father has predestined me to be adopted as His son or daughter. Amen.
