Today, Derek brings out the material blessings that are contained in Deuteronomy 28. If we listen to the voice of the Lord, we will be blessed in the city and in the country…and all that we put our hand to do.

The one person that God looks for in times of crisis is the intercessor. Today there is guilt and failure on the part of all segments of society—the prophets, the priests, the secular rulers and the people. God is looking for those who will stand in the gap for their country and their land. Will you?

What a tremendous privilege and responsibility it is to be able to speak to the God of the whole universe in such a way that we actually influence His actions. One specific way for us to humble ourselves is by fasting—and Derek gives prime examples from Scripture.

The entire creative power of God can work through us when God’s Spirit and His Word are combined in our prayers! God’s Spirit always works through and with God’s Word. Learn more about praying more powerfully as you listen today…

When you pray it is necessary to first give thanks—for all that God has done and all that He is going to do. The more you worship and praise and thank Him, the more you’ll believe He is able to meet your current needs.

Once we come together with other believers in committed relationship, functioning in our place in the body, we see that we must be suitably equipped to be effective. Spiritual gifts are given by God to be our equipment and they follow logically as part of our calling.

Today, Derek talks about our response to the nation of Israel…the part we as individuals play as end-time prophecy unfolds. One of our major responsibilities as believers is to pray for Israel and Jerusalem. Derek pointed out this is the only way to for peace to be established in the world.

Learn how in the New Testament Church there was in general a lifestyle that sharply distinguished believers from the unbelieving world around them. The church brought authority, peace and prosperity.

Today Derek helps you see that God’s final purpose is not just to bless His people but to make His people a blessing. God sees the agony and confusion of our modern world. He’s not indifferent. He’s concerned. But what is He doing? He’s working in a very systematic and methodical way.

Today’s topic covers the last remaining form of spiritual fruit—the fruit of self-control. In some versions of the Bible, the word used is temperance, but that word is over 350 years old. In contemporary English today, “temperance” is often associated with abstinence from alcohol. However, the Greek word includes abstinence in every area of our lives. It not merely prohibits excessive indulgence in alcohol but just as much excessive indulgence in food, that is, gluttony or overeating.
