Today Derek finishes this study on overcoming evil by providing you with several testimonies to add to your arsenal. The blood of Jesus sprinkled in heaven cries out for mercy for YOU. Appropriate it; apply it to your life; and never forget the blood cries out continually for you!

Using the pattern of the Old Testament Passover, Derek shows how this is a picture of Jesus, the Lamb who was sacrificed, and he brings out the importance of Jesus’ shed blood. The personal application of this truth comes when we testify about what the Word of God says the blood of Jesus does for us.

In concluding this week’s teaching, Derek stresses that same elements that were in the early church are for the church today, both collectively and individually. We have a King who is coming back and it is up to us to proclaim that Jesus is alive, ruling in our midst. As we do, the Holy Spirit will confirm our witnessing with power.

What a tremendous week! Derek has thoroughly explained not only why waiting for God is of vital importance, but also the benefits associated with this little-talked-about discipline. And today we hear an exciting conclusion and learn that waiting for God has important implications not only in this life, but also the next.

The book of Romans is the source of the today’s installment of Derek’s teaching on the theme of identification. There are three successive phases of this Romans Recipe, each comprising steps that we must follow to accomplish the desire result: identification with Christ.

The wisdom of this world, as Derek well knows, will never take the place of the hidden wisdom of God, which will only come when one becomes a new creation in Christ Jesus. Then the door will open up for us to search out this hidden wisdom.

Scripture tells us that the wages of sin is death. This inevitable consequence was cancelled on the cross, as Jesus died in our place. When we accept this truth, we find that it is no longer we who live, but Christ lives in us. He is resurrected—and so will we be. He died our death that we might have His life.

The second exchange, which Derek presents today, is that Jesus became the sin offering, or the guilt offering, for us. He bore our sin in His body on the tree that we might be wrapped in the robe of righteousness that Isaiah has written to us about.

We’ve been learning about “God’s Medicine Bottle” and how to receive healing. Today, Derek adds one more dose of God’s medicine to our lives. He says, “What you have in your heart will determine all that you experience in your life.” Don’t miss this broadcast!

In this final study on God’s abundance, Derek reminds us that we are merely stewards of the finances God has given us. We must be wise in our use of all that we have by investing in people—the souls God cares about and for whom Jesus gave His life. As we lay up our treasures in heaven, we are preparing a welcome for ourselves when the time comes that we enter into that glorious kingdom.
