  2. Prayer Response

    Thank You, Father, that when You promise something, You won’t change Your mind. Thank You that, when You have given something, no one and nothing can block me from receiving it, if I continue to fulfil the conditions in perseverance. Thank You that Your promises are for the here and now, and not only for the future! And thank You that all this is available through the precious sacrifice of Your Son Jesus. In His wonderful Name, amen!

  3. VIETNAM

    - Pray for God’s protection, guidance, and wisdom for two pastors (in two different cities) who coordinate the two DPM translation teams. - Pray for their families and churches in this communist country as they seek to reach people with Derek’s teaching. A DPM co-worker was recently under investigation by the police, so pray the work will continue unhindered. - Testimony – Vietnam - We are students in Ho Chi Minh city and are so blessed by Derek’s book, How to Pass from Curse to Blessing. We used to think that once a person believes in God, all curses are automatically broken and taken away, but through studying this book, we recognized things from the past that are still controlling us. After studying, we decided to gather to break those curses. We were all touched by the power of God. Thank you so much for this powerful teaching.

  8. Prayer Response

    Dear Lord Jesus, I realize I so often would like to skip the ‘suffering’ part… Please help me, through Your Holy Spirit, to really understand why this is vital. Help me, through the suffering, to understand and appreciate in a better way what You have gone through. Help me also to see the difference between the suffering of Christ, what You allow, and what the devil tries to throw upon me to hinder me. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

  10. Prayer Response

    Father, show me what You have given me, and help me to put my foot on that ground to actually take it into possession.

Help me to understand which are the battles I am supposed to fight, and from which I am supposed to steer away, simply because it is none of my business. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
