In today’s message Derek gives much light on how Satan is allowed to do what he does—whether it is bring fire from heaven, sending destructive winds, other people, or attacking man’s health. This can be very helpful in considering the future events foretold in the book of Revelation. Another insight is Satan's ability to bring an attack on the character of God’s servants.

Derek begins his exploration of the book of Job by giving an overview of a righteous man struck with calamity. What was his position before God? Derek gives us some details of his understanding of why Satan was working against Job. He then introduces us to Job’s three so-called friends.

Ending this week’s message Derek shares a few personal memories concerning his dependence on God. Derek finishes with an opportunity for those who are afraid of losing their independence or who have reached the point of desperation. Won't you make a decision and reach out to God for help?

In today’s session Derek looks at how God deals with this problem of independence in man. We may find ourselves in a position like the one the children of Israel faced at the Red Sea—where there is nothing we can do but cry out to the Lord for help and then wait to see what He will do. He waits for us to become desperate and then He acts on our behalf.

Derek begins his message today by exploring how we are to lay down our independence and learn dependence on God. One way that doesn’t seem too enjoyable is waiting. Trust the Lord and wait to see what He will do in your life. Seek what He wants you to do, not just follow your own plan. Abraham and Moses are great examples Derek uses to illustrate this point.

Today Derek looks at Satan’s motivational speech to Eve. He asserted that she could do and be whatever she wanted and not have to depend on God. She fell for it and Adam joined in causing all mankind to partake of this fallen nature. Our answer to this problem is to reverse it by surrendering our all to God.

Derek begins this week's message concerning The Sin of Independence by going back to the beginning: to Adam and Eve, and the serpent in the garden. Satan, the serpent, caused Eve to question whether what God said was the truth. Her response can be stated in three words, reflecting the downward steps Satan still uses today—doubt, disbelief, and disobedience.

We are so blessed in this nation! This stirring message will help us become more aware of the wealth of spiritual knowledge available to us. There is no greater place to live than the United States of America, so, let’s be thankful every day we can call this “home.”

Thank God, as Derek Prince pointed out, this nation was founded by men of firm conviction in God and in the Scriptures. This classic teaching may give the Thanksgiving holiday a new meaning for you. From all of us here at DPM, Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

How often have we prayed and prayed without seeing results? As Derek Prince pointed out, adding thanksgiving to our prayers can bring the answers we need. Certainly we have much to be grateful for in this nation. We do have limitless opportunities!
