- Most christians believe that by keeping a set of rules - by trying to be a good person - they please God. Bible teacher Derek Prince points out that there's nothing that we can do to please God.

Highly recommended Bible Teacher in Professor Derek Prince. Evidently an elect of the Lord God Almighty! Amen. Hallelujah!
The Lord made no mistake in picking this wonderful man to teach biblical studies to the world. He is a professor's professor a doctor's doctor.
Well said Sir. He is true biblical scholar!
Pastors today don't teach like Derek Prince !!
@@denafranklin4314 amen
Amen 🙏
Powerful stuff
Much thanks from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you Jesus for The Cross! Kill My Flesh and Help Me So that You Can Be Pleased With Me. 🙌🏼🕊❤️🙏🏼
Excellent teaching.
None of us can keep all the commandments. For we have all fallen short. So we can't rely on our good works. We need Jesus Christ and that's why He came. DPMinistries is one of my favorites. May the Lord continue to bless and cause this ministry to expand.
Thank you so much, Violet! God bless you!
@@DerekPrinceWithSubtitles aww thank you. I've been listening to DPM for years and receive the sermons by mail, so I know I can trust the ministry. God bless you too, dear.
💜😍💛❤️
The world is a beast. That's what's wrong with it. Thank you pastor
I just found DP by searching about our priesthood. He always points to Christ. Great teacher.
Our amazing teacher of all time ❤️😇😇 rest in peace Derek prince you are now with Jesus Christ our savior in heaven 🙏
For real?
@@michaelbassey7589 Yes for REAL.
Well. He is actually waiting for the resurrection. You see death is just like sleeping according to the bible. It sais: the dead know nothing that happens under the sun.
Great message
I enjoy his teachings so much!
Glad to hear that. God bless you!
Lord I appreciate you for speaking to me through your servant. What an awesome interpretation of your word. Thank you LORD.
Very well spoken, thank you God. God has used Derek for building up his people and I hope that every beliver in Yeshua would hear and understand his teaching. And thank you for keeping this youtube channel going😊
I am so grateful for Derek Prince and like you being able to here his teaching now that he has went home. I truly can't explain how this man changed my life. One thing about Derek Prince is that he Loved Our King Jesus Christ! One of his sermons he was speaking about Our Messiah and he choked up while talking about what Jesus went thru for us. I have never seen that much love for Our King as I did that day.
You're welcome, Hanna! We'll surely keep this channel going. It's our vision to reach the peoples of the world in a language they can understand, with the Bible teaching of Derek Prince, using every type of media (like CZcams) and all forms of distribution, regardless of the economic means of the recipients.
The teaching of dying to the Law and resurrecting with the Holy Spirit so well explained by DPrince thru Paul’s scriptures- an amazing thing that God did for those of us that believe in His son Jesus Christ. May God bless DPrince’s spirit in heaven!
The last 20 seconds is a splendid summary. Redemption is not a consequence of our actions rather it is a product of our union with Christ. If you are in union with Christ, you are naturally inclined to righteousness
One of the best teachings I've heard on this,,, very well said
Whoever may read this, I need some help with prayers for my dad who's very sick and in the hospital, family in Christ.I would greatly appreciate this. I love you all, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ💯✝️🙏🏾
🙏🏼
A true Anointed Man of God right here⚘i pray that God bless me with a Godly mate like Sir Prince. He was amazing and his deliverance prayers are powerful
Amen
I dont think I have ever heard this concept so well explained. Yet still, the relationship he is refrencing must be worked out personally in order to grasp. It's amazing!
God is the way to love, God is the only way to show love, Jesus Christ has shown the path and also how to show the path to others. Amen it's a miracle.
You may not keep the law perfectly or be able to earn grace but which path do you want to walk, as a slave of sin or a slave of righteousness. As the appostle paul pointed out your no longer to be slaves of sin but slaves of righteousness, the bible says Gods laws are righteousness, ofcouse it is, if you strive to no longer lie, steal, hate each other etc you then love one another, Gods law is the law of love, God is love .
Well explained & I'm grateful to have Mr. Derek preach & provide biblical inSIGHT.
Wow. Derek has a way of finding the most precious concepts in the Bible. Instead of trying to be good all day, just ask Jesus to be more like him every day, and the Holy Spririt will tune your dials in your body so that you copy Jesus.
@Herman Visser, copy Jesus, it's all well said!!! God bless you on your journey!!!
A truly remarkable man,and undoubtedly a true messenger of Almighty GOD. Thank you most sincerely for sharing these wonderful recordings. Praise GOD

@@DerekPrinceWithSubtitles Thank you for your reply. I believe that you are doing a superb job of sharing Brother Prince's wonderful teachings,and I am sure that he is delighted with your work! May Almighty GOD bless you and your work. Thank you.
God help me not try to be good, in Father and King Jesus' Name, Amen ✝️✨
Amen! Thank you. I needed to hear this right now. Praise God!!!
Yes. I noticed that too. That has been coming to my mind a lot here lately. The Holy Spirit brought that very thing to my mind on just last night.
Amen
Thank you brother
Very good and clear
Wow !
Get united to the right person! Amen PRAISE JESUS CHRIST! ✝️
Why call me good ? There is none good but God.

6:12-6:24 -- This basically sums up spiritual life of a human.
Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hallelujah!
A remark. It is not by the spirit but in the spirit, our own personal spirit. Romans 8:16 tell us what it is to be a child of God namely, that our spirit realize connection to the spirit of God.
It is very important to mention that paul is speaking about works of the LAW of moses. He does not refer to works of love, works of faith or anything like that. This was the initial ongoing struggle in the early church: The transition from the old covenant to the new covenant. In a nutshell: The law of moses does not apply to us any more (see first 5 chapters of epistle to Galatians; even though a lot of the moral laws, which is part of the law of moses, can be a guidance sometimes).
We can never be made rightous before our god besides by yielding to Jesus because we have been guilty legally speaking. If we begin to follow Jesus, we are expected to continue to live rightous and holy and live an active beleiving life, though, which we can achieve by Jesus living in us (rather, Jesus achieves that in is) after true repentance, water baptism and baptism in the holy spirit. In epistle Titus you see in the first chapter that being made free from the world, the fleshly lusts and so on is part of the grace of god. I think this is the crux. We do not try to be good on our own but we need to let the holy spirit do it in us. Whenever we struggle with fleshly mindset we have to come closer and closer to Jesus. This is the key.
@Martin Martin, yes, by coming closer to God, we internally burn up the sin in us, being He is a consuming fire, His love don't melt us.
All your points are good!!! God bless@!!
So according to the sermon,
If I am under the law, I will try to love this one, that one, but at the end, I become hatred, angry, jealous, hurt, ....
But If I believe in Jesus, The Spirit will come and lead me to love, forgiveness, mercy, ...
Thank you Lord for this mystery. God bless you.
Righteousness comes from having faith in Jesus Christ
@New Star 1958, to overcome underearning, Luke 6:38.
God bless you on your journey!!!
I think we need to draw a distinction between works of the law and good works.
The former is used to prove or make oneself righteous but the later is a reflection of grace. Jesus called His followers, who were saved by grace through faith, to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, visit the sick, visiting those falsely accused, walking an extra mile, giving.
Amen 🙏 thanks for the powerful teaching the Holy Spirit leads the man of God to explain everything that you can understand the flesh leads us to sin and we know it’s not right
Revelation 11 my Calling
I think there is a general confusion between "keeping the law" and "keeping the commandments of Lord Jesus Christ". Jesus Christ clearly said "If you love me, keep my commandments". So if I love God I will keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Yes!
@Leena Samuel, a point of intimacy by the Spirit rather than the letter of the Law.
God bless!!!
But what is the greatest commandment?
Jehovah rules .. .. ..
Jesus is the vine n believers in Christ are the branches.When we remain attached to the vine, we bear the fruit but when we are dis- attached to the vine, we will fail to bear fruit-- fruit of the Spirit. The grace of God, such great grace, that Jesus, by coming n dying undeservedly for us, we receive God's grace n all the material, physical, financial, mental, emotional n spiritual goodness needed to live this life on earth -- just by making sure we are attached to the vine ie Jesus. How? By believing n receiving Him, praising n worshipping Him n also obeying His Word ( Logos n Rhema)--- the fruit of righteousness.
@Grace Bock, I enjoy reading good post but some causes me to post back, whether negative or positive.
But you hit a good nerve @@@!!!!
@@willielee5253 Glad, if what I share,is of any help. I was struggling myself to remain attached to the vine ( lots of anger outbursts n negative talk N not stopping to 'listen' to God's still small voice....until I reached ALMOST bursting point trying to do "church"( all with good intentions) but only managing doing "not GOD'S WAY. Thank God for His patience n loving yet firm correction to help me attach myself to THE VINE.Prayer, Praise N Worship IS THE WAY for me...at the kitchen sink, at the stove, on my bed, in the bathroom n also while kneading bread n watching TV. HE dwells in the praises of HIS people.Haha...n I'm in the midst of many who have yet to believe.❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@gracebock2900 yes, me too. Like King David says, why are you mindful of man that you try him and visit him.
Out burst and such, and finding me short of His righteousness even in my sleep, which finds me ashamed and that I'm not there yet.
But what I latch on to was "seek you first the Kingdom and His righteousness " and all things you mentioned just seem to fall into place eventually.
Plus He said "possess ye your souls with patience "
My mother in Christ would say "act like you got it until you get it" I backslid, but eventually recalled many things she said to me.
I tend to scroll these sites and happen upon gems as yours, so yes, it's like a meal and I'll post to whomever said TaHt,
I want to speak to them.
Because I'm not a Church goer and not dying to go.
Excuse me, forgive me and/or pity me, but for now, posts like yours make day and more. Thanks for posting.
God bless you on your journey @!!!

@@willielee5253 Haha, was a church-goer in the past n a very faithful one, if I may say so myself.But much of it was man- led n often not God-led....until God had to stop me ...in the midst of taking care of my 2nd child when I CRIED out to God who said to me to resign, stay home to take of children but, though not totally unwilling, I answered "God, why now when I hv 2 children, not just 1 n I need the xtra money.You know what answer was " I wanted to tell you but you were TOO BUSY". Exactly--- too busy to hear God. Long story short...despite lack of understanding n also opposition's, I quit teaching, stayed home n began a unplanned( by me not God) journey of learning, relearning, falling n getting up, painful n joyful but always sure I've made the RIGHT decision.How come so sure? Once, newly quitted, while washing dishes at the sink just beside the bathroom, I heard God whisper " Now, u r no more a square peg in a round hole This IS where u fit in.Judt like this pipe tt brings in water from outside n reaches the sink first, yr energy runs out...like the water tt's hard to reach the bathroom, if someone is showering N u r outside washing at the sink.God was so practical n made His explanation so clear to me.Doesnt matter any objections now."He will dwell IN PERFECT PEACE whose MIND IS STAYED on THEE". Church we went to couldn't SEE my worth, doesn't matter.God, to protect n preserve led us to leave church but not leave town.N my children studied hard in obedience, received overseas scholarships, some full, some partial.God provided n helped us cross our own Red Sea.HE is good n HE is good ALL THE TIME❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is this short in Spanish?
My question is what should a Christian do about the everyday sins they are struggling with?
@Blessed One, keep praying until they drop dead. God bless!!
Fasting and praying and sitting still with God and resting in God often will help you get closer and closer to God. And let Him pull things out of you like Him daily. It is about serving God with a pure heart and from a pure place and pure intentions. You will not be perfect period. Because it's impossible. That's the reason why Jesus came, and died on the cross for OUR sins. And rose on the cross on the third day.
Try to follow as many of God's rules but understand not perfect
Blind Faith with works
Does this mean we don't have to set things right? Let's say if I've stolen money from someone, should I not repay it back after realising my error? Let's say I made a promise to someone but did not keep it, should I not fulfill it after realising my mistake?..The law talks about repayment, should we not do it then? Is restitution required or not? Zacchaeus did say he'll restitute and Jesus said, today salvation has come to this house.
Please forgive if I sound mixing up two things, but I genuinely want to understand. I do understand that if I try fulfil the law as a means of righteousness then my faith is pointless. But I want to understand what about setting things right?
Great and very important question, Sahil. Thanks for asking. I'd like to say first of all, with the apostle Paul (to make an important statement): 'Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.' (Romans 3:31). But how does that work? We are justified by faith, not by law. That doesn't nullify the law. But, the law is no longer written on stone tablets but written on our hearts (2 Cor. 3:3). That means it is no longer a means of righteousness, but something that follows naturally out of your faith in Christ. If we love Him, then we keep His commandments (John 14:21), rather than keeping them in order to make God love us. So yes, we definitely need to make things right with people. The commandments of Jesus (e.g. in the Sermon on the Mount Matt. 5-7) are in some ways harder to keep than the law of Moses. I hope this will clarify some of your questions. But I'd anyway recommend you to study the book of Romans in order to grasp this important theme.
@@DerekPrinceWithSubtitles Praise God!! I am really thankful to you for clearing this. I was really confused and anxious. I have had made mistakes in the past and I want to correct them, I am praying really hard for that, praying that may God grant me opportunity to set things right and fulfill my promises made. I will definitely read the book of Romans more prayerfully. I really thank you for helping me on this, I've heard many statements regarding setting things right and frankly not many people now talks about setting things right but I believe deeply that Bible teaches us to set things right, I really thankful to you.
@@DerekPrinceWithSubtitles but what about the consequenses we get e.g. if family memeners do idol worship because they are ignorant to law,and we their children try to follow commandmends,so in this case how to convince parents to follow law, acc exhodus 20,5 God will visit inquity of fathers to 3and4th generations,so breaking this law,we will suffer consequenses is not it? So we should let it go and trust God that he will take care of it as Jesus have paid the prize.
@@thepromiseland.4867 if I understand you correctly, by living out your life, God will make things better over a matter time, just so long as we exemplify His love despite their beliefs.
Is that right, or, please correct me.
God bless you on your journey!!!
Through Jesus we can keep the full law. Is that correct?
@Marlfox, yes. And that's because He is eternal.
God bless!!!
Not necessarily. Because we ALL fall short of the glory of God. Even in areas that we ourselves don't want to acknowledge as sin, like backbiting, gossiping, being a talebearer, and so on and so forth.
The just live by faith in the return of Jesus Christ. The unjust repent in the name of Jesus Christ and he forgives us of our fleshly EGO destroying the notion in ones mind of the existence of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.🙏
That makes no sense
@@KT-he2um I am absolutely certain in my mind he died on a CROSS yet I SIN anyway regardless. How strong 💪 is my faith then? Do I really know he died on a cross or do I just believe so. So the process of repentance to Jesus getting back into his favor and then sinning again anyway out of his favor would represent the word notion. no·tion | \ ˈnō-shən \
Definition of notion
1a(1) : an individual's conception or impression of something known, experienced, or imagined
They had different notions of right and wrong.
Hope this helps makes sense
🙏blessings 🙏
Is the law the law of the Prophets or the Law of the 10 commandments. Someone tell me Please I don't know.
It is the Law of Moses, the Mosaic Law. 613 commandments to follow. You can find it in the Old Testament.
When the apostle Paul talks about the law in his letters to the Romans and Galatians, he surely means the law of Moses. But, as Derek rightly points out, our understanding of 'law' (as Christians) can sometimes also mean personal laws and rules. By keeping those laws and rules, we try to earn God's favor. But the author of the letter to the Hebrews says: 'without faith it is impossible to please God' (Heb. 11:6). We're saved by grace through faith. So faith is a gift. When we believe and put our hope and trust in Jesus Christ, our Lord, we gladly obey God's law (that is written on our hearts (see Jeremiah 31:31-34). We obey out of love for Him.
The most important effect of the law after showing us that we are sinners is: Trying to follow the law stirr up SIN! The bible says the POWER of sin is the LAW ( ten commandments) and it leads to DEATH!!!! - because the sting of death is sin. See 1 Cor. 15:56. The law (ten com.) make our evil desire come alive in our bodies and it leads to death. Compare Rom. 7:5). For more revelation of this topic of LAW AND GRACE i recommend another Prince - Joseph Prince.
I wouldnt listen to Joseph Prince if strapped to a chair and made and paid to listen.

Sorry...
@Grace Ambassador 67, well said and with further advice!!!
What about the Sabbath? A lot of Christian keep this which is under the Law.
When did our Father un-bless and un-sanctify the seventh day?
@@mikuspalmis
Jesus full filed it.
@@BreezeWithAfrica Yes he did but that still doesn't answer the question.
Isaiah 66:23
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
@@mikuspalmis
So we are all worshiping on a Sabbath.. Got it! Thanks for backing up my statement.GN
There are those that follow Christ and there are those who hide behind him! Your sins you cannot hide! Are you following him or are you hiding behind him? Get behind me Satan? Are you following him or are you behind him! Satan hides behind him and his followers are following him! It’s time to wake up! Ask yourself are you behind him or are you following him?

God The Father Is A Spirit
Jesus said to the woman of Samaria, "God The Father is a Spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and Truth"
Man could not worship the Father in Spirit unless he himself was a spirit. It has been hard for us to become spirit conscious, to realize that spiritual things are as real as material things. We accept the fact that the Father is a Spirit, but we never realized the implications tied up in this fact.
A spirit has personality, but not necessarily a physical body. Angels are spirits; demons are spirits. We cannot visual spirit beings. We cannot see the spirit any more than we can see the mind. We cannot see the force that lifts the tide. We can see the results of it.
God The Father is a Spirit, and , as a Spirit , He created material substance. We know that He is not only a Spirit but He is a Love Spirit. We know He is a faith Spirit. We know that He spoke the universe into being with a Word, and He rules the Universe by "The Word of His Power."
We know that man is a spirit, that he belongs to God Th Father's class of being, that he is eternal, that he can live in a body. He is capable of partaking of the nature of The Father, God. We know that he was to fill a place in The Father's heart. The Father, God wanted him, loved him and desired to impart His nature to him. We know that spiritual things are as real as material things. We know since man is a spirit, the greatest forces in him are spiritual. E.W. Kenyon, Two Kinds of Knowledge
You all have a right to call yourselves"man"..when you're only one race on the earth..with extremely wicked inclinations AT BIRTH. We don't all have the same love for sin
Dont matter. Sin is sin. No sin is greater than another. Prince addressed very clearly even a baby is capable of manipulating and the sin of witchcraft.
Divorce your religion, and marry Christ
You get used, taken advantage of and go nowhere in life
