Derek Prince - Devotional: A Rushing Torrent - DEREK PRINCE MINISTRIES
January 25, 2016
A Rushing Torrent Psalm 126:4
Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the streams in the Negev. NIV
There’s a prayer from God’s people for restoration. The picture there is very vivid, if you’re familiar with the Negev. The word that’s translated “streams” in Arabic is a wadi. A wadi is something special that’s found mainly in the Middle East. It’s a riverbed, which is dry most of the year. You can see that water has flowed in it, but when rain has not fallen within a few days it dries up and you just have the evidence that water once flowed in it.
And so God’s people there in that prayer view themselves like one of those dry riverbeds in the Negev, the desert of the south of Israel. But their prayer is that God will restore them like the streams in the Negev. Such a vivid picture, because at certain seasons when there’s rainfall in the Negev it comes copiously, abundantly, and in a few hours what was a dry riverbed is transformed into an overflowing, torrential stream that sweeps everything before it, sometimes washing away bridges, even causing serious accidents, washing cars away so that where just a few hours previously there was nothing but dust and dryness, there’s a rushing torrent. And their inspired prayer is that God would restore His people like that stream in the Negev – that though we’ve been dry and dusty without much evidence of water, suddenly God is going to visit us and send such a visitation of His Spirit that it will be like a rushing torrent that will sweep all obstacles before it.

Seasons, Numbers & Time - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Seasons, Numbers & Time
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will
serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter." And Laban said,
"It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to
another man. Stay with me." So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and
they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.” (Genesis
29:18-20 NKJV)
In an earlier message I wrote on numbers, and shared
how the Lord pays close attention to numbers. He is exact in His attempt to
teach us His ways. He uses numbers in every aspect of our life, beginning with
the date we are born, the length of years we live; even with the sunrise and
sunset, as the heavens daily declare His glory and presence all around us.
He is the God of all, who delights in order and organized
systems. As is quite the opposite of our enemy, our God has set plans, purposes
and alignments. He is not chaotic, disorderly, or confused. He knows Who He is,
what He is, and how He reveals Himself to us. I AM is His Name, high above all.
So how do seasons and numbers come into play? All throughout
Scripture, from Genesis 1:1 to the end of the Book at the Revelation of Jesus 22:21,
we can see how orderly the Living God of Israel operates. That is the way He
is. The seasons He gives to us on this earth, and the times which are numbered and
also laid out for us, can draw us closer to Him, when we realize just how
interested and concerned He is, with seasons, numbers and time.
When I looked up just the number seven in the
concordance, I was amazed at the quantity of Scriptures which that number alone
is found in. One such verse, which I included in the beginning of this message,
as stated in the Torah, is written, “Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and
they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.” (Genesis
29:20 NKJV – and then Jacob had to work yet another seven years after that –
Gen. 29:30!)
Do you think the Lord knew that one set of seven years,
and then another, were in store for Jacob? Do you think God the Father just let it happen
to His servant, one of the three main Patriarchs of the Jews, while He attended
to other concerns in the vast universe? I don’t think so. As in my life, I believe
the Lord knows exactly our times and seasons, and wants us to seek Him to know
them too. He wants to further reveal Himself to us, day in and day out.
“…and He made from one man every nation of mankind
to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times
and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps
they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of
us; for in Him we live and move and exist…” (Acts 17:26-28 NASU)
Speaking of the number seven, I know it is an
important one in the Lord’s counting system. Seven represents completeness and perfection.
If you do a Bible study on that specific number, you will see what, where and
how the Lord has used it.
In my own life, I have looked back at the increments
of seven years in my life, and how those years have brought a completion of one
season and the start of another. Often a major family move occurred. I can definitely
see the hand of the Lord in it all.
Just going back to 1973 – my high school graduation year
– was a clear end of one segment of my life, and the start of another. Then in August
of 1980, our family moved from Illinois to Michigan, to begin a new life with a
church in East Lansing (Shiloh Fellowship, later New Covenant Christian
Church). It also meant a new job, new house, and new friends.
In 1987, seven years later to the exact month
(August) we moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as I started my new position
with Derek Prince Ministries, assisting Mahesh Chavda Ministries in my extra
time.
Seven years later, in 1994, again in the summer, we
moved with Mahesh Chavda Ministries to Charlotte, NC. See how cleverly I
planned all this out???!! No. It was the Lord Who did it!
In 2001, yet another seven year segment later, I was back at Derek Prince Ministries, who had also moved to Charlotte from Florida, in the mid 1990’s.
So what happened in 2008? I was in the exact middle
of five years of service as the USA Director of Vision For Israel (Barry &
Batya Segal). Little did I know, I was in preparation for our own ministry,
that of Love For His People, which wasn’t even in my mind at that time. But it
was in the heart of my Father. And He had been preparing me for it all those 24
years serving other ministries.
For me, 2017 will complete yet another seven years -
from the time Love For His People was founded in April of 2010. I am believing
another major marker in my life history will be laid down, and the start of a
new season in the Lord.
What about you? Have you ever gone back and looked
at your life, noting certain years and what natural and spiritual events occurred,
as the Lord was directing your steps? Take time and do it. I think you will be
amazed, and give glory to God for His hand on your head, as He directed your
feet, whether you realized it or not.
We serve a great God, the Maker of the Universe. The
heavenlies, immense star systems, thousands of galaxies and beyond, all speak
of Him and His divine order. And yet, with all that, He has ordained our specific
times and seasons.
Let Him show you just how He has also done so in
your life. I think you will be very grateful, and give thanks for His love.
Now think on this, in the love
of Jesus,

LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE FEATURED BOOK
Paperback $5.95 Kindle $1.99
Buy here: The Promise - by Steve Martin
Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders and nudges us on to more than what we could ever realize. I am excited to share how He did it this with me, and am confident mine will be a story you’ll be able to relate to.
As I unveil my story, think back to those times when you knew there was some¬thing more but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. You knew deep down that life wasn’t what the TV sitcoms portrayed it to be. In our souls there is the hope, the cry for more, that someday questions will be answered and promises fulfilled if we just kept plugging away at what we know to do.
In The Promise I share my 40 year journey with you, and show you that dreams do come true. Though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, certainly is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us. When you are done reading this story, my prayer is that you too will know more of that good plan and His purpose for you.

The Word of the Lord Shall Come Forth From Jerusalem - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
The Word of the Lord
Shall Come Forth From Jerusalem
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“And
many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the
Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His
ways and that we may walk in His paths. For the law will go forth from Zion and
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
(Isaiah
2:3 NASU)
The
Word of the Lord shall again come forth from Jerusalem. The very place where
the Lord God of Israel chose, of all the places on earth He could have chosen, is
the land of Israel, Eretz Yisrael. His Word will again go forth in power and
truth from that very location. In our day.
I
like how The Message also states the verse above, as I have included more
verses in order to get a fuller picture of what the prophet Isaiah proclaimed
centuries ago. This very Word of the Lord is coming forth in our time, directly
from the land of Israel.
“The
message Isaiah got regarding Judah and Jerusalem: “There's a day coming when
the mountain of God's House will be The Mountain — solid, towering over all
mountains. All nations will river toward it, people from all over set out for
it. They'll say, "Come, let's climb God's Mountain, go to the House of the
God of Jacob. He'll show us the way he works so we can live the way we're
made."
Zion's
the source of the revelation. God's Message comes from Jerusalem. He'll settle
things fairly between nations. He'll make things right between many peoples. They'll
turn their swords into shovels, their spears into hoes. No more will nation
fight nation; they won't play war anymore. Come, family of Jacob, let's live in
the light of God.” (Isaiah 2:1-5, THE MESSAGE)
I have become more
attuned in recent years to those Jews whom the Lord has chosen, saved and now
set in place, as teachers in the Body of Christ, the Body of Messiah. These are
ones who even more so are prophetically and accurately speaking to the nations.
From their lineage, history, culture and with a deeper, fuller understanding of
the Scriptures, these ones get it, and are giving it. And now they are the ones
chosen by the Lord to proclaim it to all the nations.
They are the Messianic
Jews, or “believers” as some of them prefer to be simply called.
As I look back at the
great Bible teachers in my lifetime, men such as Derek Prince, Bob Mumford,
Charles Simpson and several others, I have realized that these were (still) all
Gentiles. The Holy Spirit had anointed them with the gift of teaching, and they
did an excellent job, equipped with the understanding and knowledge having been
given to them. They had brought us thus far.
But now, as the days of
the Gentiles are waning, the years of the Jewish believers are coming on
strong. It is as it has been prophesied.
As Yeshua (Jesus) Himself
proclaimed and prophesied, “And they (the Jews) will fall by the edge of
the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be
trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” (Luke
21:24 NKJV)
The time of that time is
now.
In 1967 the nation of
Israel, the Jews, once again took rightful control and ownership of all of
Jerusalem, as they were the victors during the Six Day War over the millions of
Arabs who had surrounded them. Not since 70 A.D, when the Roman General Titus
destroyed Jerusalem, and in particular the Jewish Second Temple (which was
standing on what is today the Temple Mount), did the Jews possess this sacred parcel
of land - the very land which the Lord Himself had said He had put His name on
it. Forever. For all eternity.
Scripture says, “…in the
house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this
house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I
will put My name forever; and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore
from the land which I gave their fathers — only if they are careful to do
according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that
My servant Moses commanded them." (2 Kings 21:7-8 NKJV)
The Jews were scattered
throughout the earth as it been so prophesied. During the days of King David
and King Solomon (Jewish kings), the Jewish prophets were speaking of return. And
then, since the days of the Roman (Gentile) rule over this land, when the
Romans drove them out, scattering the rightful inhabitants of the land, the Jews,
to the wind, Gentile kingdoms ruled over the land. For these past 2000 years,
Gentiles had “trampled” the land.
But that has now come to an end. Again, as historically
written, and proclaimed in Luke 21:24 by the Messiah Himself, Yeshua, Jesus
Christ, these times of the Gentiles were coming to an end at some point in
time. That time has now been fulfilled, since that historical triumph at the
Kotel, the Western Wall, in 1967. It ended the Gentile rule.
It is now the appointed,
prophesied time for the Jewish believers to take the lead, to be the ones taking
charge. They shall be doing the proclaiming and teaching.
As I understand it prophetically now, Yeshua-believing Jews
are now the primary ones we should be looking to, as they are being raised up
to bring forth the Word of the Lord from His Land. Those Jewish teachers and
prophets from the group of Messianics, the Jewish believers in Yeshua
HaMashiach. They will have the most current word for the nations. They do even now.
I have found myself
listening and learning more and more from Messianic Jewish Bible teachers and
prophets in these past years, than from any other teachers of the Word. Men
like Jonathan Cahn, Barry Segal, Joel Rosenberg, Peter Wyns, Michael Brown, Warren
Marcus, Sid Roth, Ron Cantor, Sam Nadler, Chuck Cohen, Scott Volk, Jonathan Bernis,
Aviel Schneider, Richard and Carolyn Hyde and many more.
Though not all of these fore
mentioned men of the Lord are currently living in Israel (not yet), they are
Jews, believers in Yeshua, who are expounding on the full Word of the Lord,
from Genesis to Revelation. Their understanding of the Jewish prophets, from
Moses through Micah, is beyond any of that which Gentile teachers have
understood thus far. They have been given the fuller package.
Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew),
the Holy Spirit, has once again chosen the Jews to bring forth the Lord’s word
from Zion, and specifically from the Jewish city of Jerusalem.
I encourage you to watch them on TV, get their emails, read
their websites, and subscribe to their YouTube messages. You will be blessed if
you also pray for them, and give financial support (out of your wallet,
checkbook or credit card!) for their ministries. My good wife Laurie and I
certainly do, and have been for over a decade.
Since the first days of
the church, beginning in Acts with Peter, James, John, Paul - or should we call
them by their Hebrew/Jewish names (Peter was Shimon, James was Yakov, John was
Yocahanan, Bartholomew was Bar-Talmai, and Paul was Saul) – Jewish believers
have once again been gifted with His word, to be proclaimed in the nations now.
The Jewish prophets
proclaimed this would happen. Our Savior Yeshua affirmed it. We are living in
the times of the end when it is happening now. What a blessed people we are –
the One New Man of Jews and Gentile believers!
The marathon baton has been given back to our Messianic Jewish brothers, for this final sprint, to take the lead in telling the world of the good news of Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ.
Now
think on this,

Our Debt To Israel (Derek Prince) & Why Israel? (Steve Martin) - our gift to you...because we love the people of Israel.
 |
Of all the Christian teachers of the Bible that have impacted us the most in regards to faith, and especially in our support for Israel, it has been Derek Prince (1915-2003). In 1979 Laurie and I heard first Derek at a Christian conference in Mackinac Island in northern Michigan. It was there that we heard this message - our debt to Israel as Christians.
From 1987-1990 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and then again from 2000-2005 in Charlotte, North Carolia, I had the honor of serving on staff with Derek Prince Ministries, as the Director of Finance and Operations. (Thanks David Selby for hiring me twice!)
The impact of Derek's message, with his love and support for Israel, directly instilled in our hearts the vital truth of Israel, as the Lord specifically brought to us through Scripture.
Derek's small booklet, Our Debt To Israel (which can be read in about 20 minutes), explains in a real, understandable way why Christians have a duty, responsibility, and privilege to support Israel and the Jews today.
Because of what this tremendous spiritual truth has done in our lives, with the Lord Jesus Himself giving us the heart to bless those whom He chose to reveal Himself through, the Jews, we want to share this eternal truth with you.
You just need to ask for it. Free. No cost to you, except to ask, and that you will promise to read it.
I will also send you my book that I wrote a year ago, entitled Why Israel? Also free. (And trusting you will read it too!)
We are not out to get your mailing address, or email. (We don't maintain lists for either.) We just want you to know the truth in regards to Israel, as stated in God's eternal Word.
Please respond by either mail or e-mail. If our stock runs out before you get your copies, I will get more of each to send you. (Derek Prince Ministries will like that too!)
Please see our address below to send us your request.

From the Amazon page for Why Israel?
Why Israel? Why not?
This little booklet consists of messages previously written in my books, which of themselves contain many various themes. I wanted to devote one book to just Israel and the Jewish people, and so this small booklet was compiled.
As you read the following, consider the truth contained in Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, which spell out the commitment of God the Father to choose a people who will be a light to the nations. He chose the Jews, and gave them the Promised Land of Israel.
It does not matter what other national governments try to say, do, or accomplish apart from the plans and purposes of the Lord. They will fail.
His Word is true. It is eternal. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and thus His commitment in keeping His promises made to the Jewish people will be fulfilled.
I hope you stand with them in these last days.

Derek Prince
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Derek Vaughan Prince (14 August 1915, Bangalore – 24 September 2003, Jerusalem) was a Bible teacher whose daily radio programme Derek Prince Legacy Radio broadcasts around the world in various languages.[1]
| Derek Prince | |

| Born | 14 August 1915 Bangalore, India |
| Died | 24 September 2003 (aged 88) Jerusalem, Israel |
| Occupation | International Bible teacher,theologian, pastor |
| Website | http://www.derekprince.org/ |
Marriage and the growth of his ministry
Prince moved to Faith Tabernacle in Chicago, and then to Good News Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In May 1971 Derek Prince Publications opened offices in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.[2] Derek Prince Publications became Derek Prince Ministries in December 1990.[3]
1987 - German missionary to Mongolia heard English broadcast (from Seychelles) and began to translate program into Mongolian.
1989 - DPM-Netherlands office opened,overseeing Eastern Europe and Soviet countries.
The Princes travelled extensively in ministry until Ruth died on 29 December 1998. The following list of countries covers their ministry from 1993 to 1998. Some of these countries were visited more than once: Russia, Germany, Kazakhstan, Hungary, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Poland, Bahrain, Cuba, Colombia, Switzerland, France, Portugal, India and England.[4]
Derek Prince Ministries continues to distribute his teachings and to train missionaries, church leaders, and congregations through the outreaches of more than thirty DPM 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.[5]
Teachings[edit]
At the time of Prince's death in September 2003, he was the author of over 50 books, 600 audio and 100 video teachings, many of which have been translated and published in more than 100 languages.[6] Some of the subjects that are covered in his teachings are prayer and fasting,[7] foundations of the Christian faith,[8] spiritual warfare,[9] God's love[10]and marriage and family.[11]
Demons and deliverance[edit]
As a Pentecostal, Prince believed in the reality of spiritual forces operating in the world, and of the power of demons to cause illness and psychological problems. While in Seattle he was asked to perform an exorcism on a woman, and he came to believe that Christians could be possessed by demons.[12] This was at odds with the more usual Pentecostal view that demons could not possess believers, but only "oppress" them. Prince believed that his deliverance ministry used the power of God to defeat demons.[13]
Israel[edit]
.jpg)
Prince, who taught on many themes and subjects including the foundational truths of the Bible, was probably most noted for his teachings about demons, deliverance ministry, and Israel.[14] He strongly opposed replacement theology. His book The Destiny of Israel and the Church argues that the Church has not replaced Israel and that the covenant that God made with the nation of Israel still stands today. Prince also believed that the creation of the state of Israel was the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Derek states in his book Promised Land, "The central theme of biblical prophecy, as it is being unfolded in our time, revolves around the land and the people of Israel. God is carrying out His predetermined plan to regather the Jewish people from their worldwide dispersion and restore them to their ancient homeland."[15]
The Shepherding Movement controversy[edit]
In 1968, Prince joined the Holy Spirit Teaching Mission (HSTM), which linked him to three other Charismatic Christian pastors living in Ft. Lauderdale: Don Basham, Bob Mumford, and Charles Simpson.[citation needed] The HSTM had been founded by businessman Eldon Purvis; but after the discovery of Purvis’s homosexuality the leadership team of the HSTM asked Basham, Mumford, Prince, and Simpson to help in managing the crisis.[16] Prince and the others changed the name of the HSTM to Christian Growth Ministries (CGM) in 1972.[17] CGM sought to counter what were seen as excesses within the Charismatic Movement by emphasizing discipleship and pastoral care which later on was abused by those in leadership positions. CGM continued with the publication of the New Wine magazine which began under the HSTM in June 1969.[18] David Moore, author of The Shepherding Movement, states "Essential for an accurate history of the Shepherding Movement is a complete collection of New Wine. The magazine, published from 1969 through 1986, was the principal publishing voice of the five teachers and the movement."[19] The group was joined by Ern Baxter, and the five men became known as the Fort Lauderdale Five. Their ministry became known as the Shepherding Movement. Different factions of the movement began to emphasise submission and authority.
Prince later left the group and repented in public over being a member.[20] There are several sermons where Prince commented on the shepherding controversy (sometimes referring to it as "Discipleship Movement").,[21] even in Ft. Lauderdale years after.[22]
Publications[edit]
Prince published many books and recorded over 600 audio teaching sermons and 100 video teachings.
His books include:
- The Grace of Yielding
- The Foundations Series
- The Destiny of Israel and the Church
