Three main ministries of Christ are to be associated with fatherhood: those of priest, prophet and king. As a priest, the father represents his family to God—who is representing his family to God in intercession and prayer.

There never was a valid covenant without a sacrifice and a sacrifice represents the death of the one who makes the covenant. A person enters into covenant through his own death. This is not merely established in the Old Testament, but carried on into the New.

The vertical beam of the cross speaks about a personal relationship with God. Derek will explain the only basis on which God will enter into such a relationship with man.

Derek continues with his account of seeking for truth to know God. He tells of his decision one night to pray but the inability to, and then how the presence of the Lord came to him and there in the middle of the night his life was totally changed forever by a sovereign move of God.

Today we look at the fourth common characteristic of the Christian life and that is the desire to succeed. Derek teaches that everyone, in a sense, has a yearning for success. The key to attaining that success is to do the will of God. The will of God is unshakable, unchanging, eternal and undefeatable. And when you unite your will with the will of God, you become like that will of God: unshakable, unchanging, undefeatable.

Perseverance is one of the least attractive steps in our progress to perfection. Without self-control, the previous step in this progression, we cannot attain perseverance. Satan applies pressure to some area of our lives not yet under God’s full control. But endurance produces proven character. Learn how this is accomplished.

In today’s message, Derek brings out further teaching from the writings of Paul. There is nothing haphazard or accidental in Paul’s life. And we see that perfection encompasses two aspects: full maturity as well as a freedom from flaws. Derek uses the example of an apple to bring out these truths.

Today we hear Derek Prince explain that the word Christ means “anointed with the Holy Spirit.” It corresponds to the Old Testament title, Messiah. God promised Israel an anointed deliverer and king and that promise was fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth.

Materialism, commercialism and self-indulgence during this season can take our focus away from Christ as the center of Christmas. This series will help us celebrate the birth of our Lord. Today Derek Prince examines Jesus’ role as the Prince of Peace. As you listen, invite the Prince of Peace into your heart and life, and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas!

Such a rich teaching! Derek Prince reveals the most important disguise of God was when He came into the earth as a baby, Jesus of Nazareth. Consider that Jesus was born as a Child, but also given as a Son.
