- In 2001, Derek Prince sat down in his apartment in Jerusalem to share some of his most touching memories from over 85 years of his extraordinary life. His story will inspire you to see just what God can do when someone will dare to trust Him and take Him at His Word.
In this eighth part, Derek shares about his first wife Lydia Christensen, and after her death, about his second marriage with Ruth Baker.
This video is part of the full video 'The Man Behind The Ministry'. Full video: • The Man Behind The Min...
Recorded in 2001, Jerusalem.
When he emotionally talked about Lydia's passing...oh my heart.
Despite their age difference, he obeyed God's word & married Lydia & loved her till her death.
I used to listen to Derek Prince’s teaching on radio in the US. Little did I know that I would one day move to Jerusalem and meet him and Ruth. His book Appointment in Jerusalem is one I still treasure
So happy you met them; wish I had. Nowadays is difficult to find a teacher and a healer as good as he was, blessed by Jesus.
I just recently was introduced to him by a friend of mine. Love his teaching and now watching these videos to get to know his amazing life story.
I suffer from back problems, so I watch his teaching on how to ask God to remove the curse.
Nothing that’s coming against you is going to keep you from your destiny; nothing you’ve been through is going to hinder your future. Don’t believe those lies that you’ve been through too much, the sickness is too big, the past was too hurtful, you’ve had too many bad breaks. All of it is setting you up for God to show out in your life. Psalm 71 says, “God will restore you to greater honor.” The greater the difficulty, the greater the honor. Get this down in your spirit: you’re not going to look like what you’ve been through. You’re going to look like who you are: blessed, prosperous, talented, successful, healthy, whole, victorious. New and growing channel here, God bless you through this comment. Amen
Amen!
Amen!

If anyone gets the chance to read Appointment to Jerusalem by Derek Prince about Lydia's life before she met him it us a must read! How God transformed this woman's life and grew her faith is something I am praying for daily!!!!
Hi Sis,,,

I've read it at least 3 times!! Each times it speaks to my heart differently. Very anointed book🙏🕊
What a beautiful human being.
Thank God for his ministry.
RIP
Lydia, Ruth and Derek Prince.
Hi Derek, Incase you can see this from heaven, you are loved, and I really look forward to meeting you up there. Stephen
His love 💗 for Lydia is so very touching! As a Christian woman, i’d love a husband like him. Derek saw thru their age difference & superficial & saw her beautiful heart ♥️ for the Lord.
Is it true that his wife was older than him
@@gospelrevolutionarytv3853 yes his FIRST wife. Why does that matter to you? Why?
@@gospelrevolutionarytv3853 20 years difference

@@rperobertprince9387is there a video about how they met?
You loved her dearly ❤️ 😢
Thank you Jesus for this testimony ❤️🙏🏽
Come soon Lord. Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
♥️💯 amen 🙏
Amen
Derek Prince Ministries has been instrumental in guiding me to deep relationship with the Lord. I know I speak for most when I say Derek Prince is a blessing and a rare breed. His heart was pure and his love ran so deep for the Lord which overflowed onto Lydia & Ruth. I so enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you Heavenly Father for this man of God, thank you Jesus for this encouraging testimony
I needed to read these words and hear them in my heart and spirit!! Thank you and Amen!
Life lived to the fullest for Christ.
Lord, grant the remaining years of my life fully for You.
Extraordinary man with two amazing ladies
I just found out about this amazing man of God. I'm 69 and never heard of him until I got this internet. Praise God.
Me too. Just this month and his messages have been a blessings to me, and deepening my spiritual growth in the lord, in the midst of difficulties and challenges. But in all things, I shall praise my God and trust him for sudden Turnaround in my life..
A preacher who confessed his sins and repent during a sermon is truly unique. Making proclamations 💯✝️♥️. Continue the Lord's work DPM.
Praise the Lord for Derek Prince may his teachings continue to inspire us. RIP with your loved ones Lydia and Ruth.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Derek please dont cry... I really saw how much u love her... One day u met her soon,.. Love ur ministry
I love this so much and I was a baby Christian when I learn of Pastor Derek used to visit my church in Singapore then. I received a gift which was a cassette of D P’s teaching !
I am currently reading God is Matchmaker. It is such an eye opener. God is involved in the details.
A precious, humble soul and dear brother in Christ who has spoken into my life immensely. Can't wait to meet him in heaven. 🕊
Living for and with God. What a beautiful life.
Thank you for this video. I love his way of the Bible teaching. I red the books about his life. It's impressive and encouraging!
Blessings to everyone! ❤
I believe in the power of prayer. Anyone who sees this, can they pray for me in the relationship I am in now, to give me clarity through the Word and the voice of God whether it’s him or not…and that the Lord gives me the man either way who I was created to serve, edify, and love? In Jesus name; much appreciated. God bless all of you. Amen
Remarkable person. Thank you for the lessons.
What a true upright Christian and Minister. His story really touched me. Precious brother. And both his wonderful spouces.
You have earned your blessed rest in the Lord brother.
What a lovely man.
Israel is now at war. Derek's many bible teachings on Israel prophecy are anointed and accurate. Strictly biblical as was Derek's calling. A true man and servant of God🕊

Is this the last episode in the series? I'll be so sad.
What’s the music at 7:27? :))
Its remarkable to me that even Brother Prince would say his “feelings” about divorce!!!!! Its in SCRIPTURE that if you were innocent of adultery by an unfaithful spouse You can remarry. Ruth’s fomer husband had already remarried anyway
What is the scripture please? I cannot find such a scripture except after the death of a spouse. Many people use 1 Corinthians 7 but I’m sceptical especially when using newer translations. Remarriage is only mentioned after a spouse dies.
@@blue246 Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 both give sexual immorality- “porneia” in the Greek- as grounds for divorce. Matthew 5:32 doesn’t mention remarriage, but Matthew 19:9 does. I was raised to believe that even the innocent party could not remarry in the case of divorce (and obviously, marriage for life is the Will of God), so I really had to study this passage carefully. The word “porneia” is translated “fornication” in the KJV, but elsewhere in the New Testament, it is used in situations that are obviously adultery (e.g. the man who slept with his step-mother in Corinth) which is why other translations say “sexual immorality”, etc. That being said, I have never seen anything in the Bible that would excuse leaving one’s spouse because you are “incompatible”, etc. In fact, unless there is a case of adultery, a believer who ends up leaving their unbelieving spouse is commanded to remain single. Anyway, back to the main point- Derek Prince was scripturally justified in marrying his second wife as her husband had committed adultery against her, but he was also very wise to make sure that was the case before proposing to her so as not to fall into sin.

@@shellyjensen609
Adultery does not allow for divorce.
The exception clause is fornication during the betrothal period just like Mary and Joseph. Joseph was going to put his “wife” away for fornication.
We are bound to our first spouses so long as we both live. We can separate for abuse, adultery etc but we must either remain single or reconcile-1 Corinthians 7:10.
Look up Joseph Webb of CPR Ministries- he recently passed away but he gives a great understanding on the subject. God bless you.
Amen. And British David Pawson of the book Remarriage is Adultery Unless...
@@shellyjensen609 Thanks this is loving truth well written. I too have pondered on this situation, The Holy Spirit lead Derek to do something he had never considered or thought acceptable to God. Yet Derek (and Ruth as did Lydia) faithfully sought the Lord, following the Holy Spirit’s prompting when Derek was shown in the Spirit he was going to marry a divorced woman.
Outcome - The Bride is greatly blessed - Ruth and The Church!
Their obedience to God, later exposed the ‘flesh’ and many problems that had arisen in the ‘accountability’, group Derek was apart of, along with tearing down the false doctrine about ‘not allowing/forbidding/judging’ remarriage for the innocent person. God is the judge of who is innocent.
Outcome - the spine to all these teachings, is their faithfulness, sacrifice and willingness to obey God and go against the ‘opinions and interpretations of people’. Just like it was with the biblical Apostles, True Prophets, Evangelists, faithful men, women….and most prominently Jesus.
We are blessed as the Spirit leads the righteous back to Jesus who is preparing us to be presented to God -
Our Father.
Una de las cosas mas hermosas que vivo fue encontrar a el Pastor y una de las predicas que mas me a ayudado se llama

Nous vous prions de bien vouloir traduire en français, nous aussi être béni
J'aurais aimé l'écouter en francsais
There's a scripture about a wife being given/comes by the Lord, it could be proverbs.
Interesting she passed at 3pm♥️
does anyone know, when derek was talking about having one leg shorter than the other and being “touched by God” is that in a good way or bad?😂
This would have been better received without that awful phrase 'x-mas'!! Learn what that means and you'll NEVER say it again. . .
Right.
Well I'm Nearly in shock!!! I've listen to so much Of what this man has said And then to find out he married a divorced woman 😱
Yes, I can see why you are in shock about this. To be clear: Ruth was indeed a divorced woman. However, her ex-husband left her for another woman and so - depending on your interpretation of Jesus' and Paul's words about remarriage - she had a scriptural basis to remarry. God also told Derek and Ruth that they were ment to marry to each other.
i used to think it was OK And that there was exceptions for divorce and remarriage And I also listen to preachers give different opinions
So I decided to study the word of God more carefully And now I realise those exceptions were no exceptions at all
Jesus does not give the exception for adultery in Matthew Because the Greek word for adultery is not even used in Matthew The Greek word I believe is the word for fornication That would explain The situation with Mary and Joseph
I thank God that Derek found his Ruth ❤️
@@DerekPrinceWithSubtitles I take it as Derek never had biological children?
@@Snpiedog He did actually. You can read about that in the biography: www.derekprince.org/Shop/Sections/Items/Item.aspx?item_id=1000033257
Lydia was an ugly woman, but very devoted to God and her family.
In Christ, no one is ugly or beautiful. Outward appearances are vain.
Well then it's happy she was Derek's wife and not yours. Equally happy a thing is you are with someone else and not me, because you have an ugly soul.
Good grief what a horrible comment😳
@mariabekker6470 right? 🙄
