PROCLAMATION FOR GOD’S PROTECTION
By Derek PrinceNO WEAPON that is formed against me shall prosper and every tongue which rises against me in judgment I do condemn. This is my heritage as a servant of the LORD and my righteousness is from You, O LORD of Hosts. If there are those who have been speaking or praying against me, or seeking harm or evil to me, or who have rejected me, I forgive them. Having forgiven them, I bless them in the name of the LORD.*
NOW I DECLARE, O LORD, that You and You alone are my God, and besides You there is no other—a just God and a Savior, the Father, the Son and the Spirit—and I worship You! I SUBMIT MYSELF afresh to you tonight in unreserved obedience. Having submitted to You, LORD, I do as Your Word directs. I resist the devil: all his pressures, his attacks, his deceptions, every instrument or agent he would seek to use against me. I do not submit! I resist him, drive him from me and exclude him from me in the Name of Jesus. Specifically, I reject and repel: • infirmity • pain • infection • inflammation • malignancies • allergies • viruses • and every form of witchcraft
FINALLY, LORD, I thank You that through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, I have passed out from under the curse and entered into the blessing of Abraham whom You blessed in all things:** • exaltation • health • reproductiveness • prosperity • victory • and God’s favor. *See Matt. 5:43; Rom. 12:14 **See Gal. 3:13–14; Gen. 24:1
DECLARATION OF CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S PROTECTION - DEREK PRINCE:
Someone asked me, “How do you protect yourself if you live anywhere in the Middle East or the Balkans, where people are always putting curses on other people?” There are many answers I could give, but here is just one thing that I do every night. Isaiah 54:17 says this: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their righteousness is from Me, says the LORD.”
The important statement is, “Our righteousness is from the LORD.” It is not our own righteousness. The Lord has covered us with a robe of His righteousness. If we were to come against Satan and curses in our own righteousness, we would have nothing to stand on. So every night before I go to sleep, I make this declaration. It only takes two or three minutes.
"Spurgeon's Last Words"
On June 7th, 1891, Mr Spurgeon spoke for the last time from the platform of the Metropolitan tabernacle. And the last words he uttered in the pulpit were these:
"If you wear the livery of Christ, you will find Him so meek and lowly of heart, that you will find rest unto your souls. He is the most magnanimous of captains. There never was His like among the choicest of princes. He is always to be found in the thickest part of the battle.
When the wind blows cold He always takes the bleak side of the hill. The heaviest end of the cross lies ever on His shoulders. If He bids us carry a burden, He carries it also. If there is anything that is gracious, generous, kind and tender, yea lavish and super abundant in love, you always find it in Him.
His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter on it at once! God help you to enlist under the banner of JESUS CHRIST!"
Reader, are you saved for Eternity? If so, may God help you and me to be as faithful as Charles Haddon Spurgeon to our Sovereign God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
