As you already know I am quite new in the Faith and I have seen plenty of interesting videos by Derek Prince on YouTube, I would be very grateful if someone told me whether he is a good preacher and it is good material to watch.

Thank you very much in advance and many Blessings.

I do not know about Derek Prince, but if you want to listen to some teachers on youtube, I would recommend John McArthur, Paul Washer, Hugh Ross, William L. Crane, John Piper...

They are not perfect but you should not get into any serious problems with them, IMHO.

I've heard mixed reviews on Prince. But soon as I saw him something didn't sit right with me. That has traditionally been a good indicator for me. It has happened with other preachers who i didn't know about and have been right about every one.

He teaches that a Christian can be possessed and be under a generational curse, BOTH of which are UNTRUE!

Christians CANNOT be possessed (have a demon in them) and CANNOT be under a generational curse (ie. held legally responsible for what some distant relation did generations ago). John 17v11, 1John 5v18, Ezek 18 (all), Gal 3v13...

another good all round preacher,i like down to earth zac poonen. sticks to the basics which are often overlooked.. some of mcarthur(not all as his anti anything charismatic), pipers good, but from that crowd dont forget rc sproul, esp on the trinity and early fathers, dr michael browns also quite good from other end of spectrum, esp brown v white debates, with all teachings do check with bible for yourself, coming to your own conclusions. blessings..

I like:

John Bevere (currently active)
Robert Morris (currently active)
Charles Spurgeon (people have done voice overs of his historical sermons)
A.W. Tozer (audio only)

All the best. Just remember, the Holy Spirit is your true teacher. If it doesn't quite sit right it probably isn't.

There are people that God has anointed to teach on certain areas. When they go outside of their calling - that's when things can get "off" a bit in what they are teaching. To throw everything else they say because of this - is not wise.

My advice is to ask the Lord to send you the teachers that you need in the time that you are now in your walk with the Lord. He will be faithful to bring them to you.

I like what a brother said one time when asked about his views of the end times. " He said that he get give you what he believes but he's not sure whether it is true or not because the Lord has sent him to teach about faith and how to be led by the Spirit of God in our everyday life".

I like this kind of honesty.

There is no one teacher or denomination that is accurate in every subject. We are the body of Christ and we all have a different function.

I like this quote from Derek Prince.

fake news

Derek Prince DOES NOT teach that a Christian can be possessed.

what he actually DOES do? he teaches from the Greek of the NT and explains the meanings of the different words used to describe the devil and his kingdom

he actually clears up the confusion many Christians seem to have and the misuse of the word possession with regards to demons and what they can and cannot do

Christians cannot be possessed and Prince NEVER says that they are. Christians can be harassed, influenced and bothered though and that is biblical

Haters will be haters. I guess some people just dont listen or read.
He clearly explained u cannot be posessed but according to the greek daimon izomai (not sure how its spelled) what it truly means.
Ignore the ignorance here. People like picking and choosing and twisting

well, his teaching has certainly made a big difference in my life

someone may come along and say he was on board with that shepherding movement and he was. however, he removed himself from it and publicly stated he disagreed with it when he saw it developed into a control mechanism

oh I sure have noticed the picking, choosing and twisting. LOL!

well I'll go one further

I was terribly stuck on something and having an awful time because I was told over and over that all you had to do was say 'I plead the blood'. now I don't mean to knock a denom here, but those were Pentecostals and I am not Pentecostal (sure I speak in tongues and believe the gifts are all for today) but I had friends in that denom and I was pretty young.

I do not believe saying 'I plead the blood' is a fix for what ails you or a word formula that causes the devil to gasp and flee

thankfully, someone placed a copy of Prince's leaflet in my hands concerning how demons can influence a Christian and voila! I had my answer and my cure

and every word IS in scripture

amen
and just asking for forgiveness does not release you from the consequences and
weight of your sin. Forgiveness is not always freedom, in many cases, but not all

but no :p shoot the messenger lol

Yes I thought you knew that lol are you?
I wondered why do you have problems with some dietary rules or sunday/sabbath. But it was just few days ago you admitted you do not believe in the Trinity.

Thats why you should find the truth for yourself, first.

I dont have problems with diatary rules? I just dont eat halal and said that it made sense back in the day to not eat pig when you live in ther desert where its hot..samonella and stuff. I eat pig and stuff I think you misunderstood that

Yea well I keep the sabbath on saturday usually when i can..is that so bad?

Yea I i explained that trinity thing dozens of times.

Only because you dont see something as a truth that I may see that way, doesnt mean its not truth. We all have different ways and maybe you OR my mind will change on that sometime.

The problem with preachers, teachers, leaders is that they are just like the rest of us, susceptible to failure, because they are in the spotlight we can see it more clearly. The most important thing to do, is to do your own honest bible study and never allow someone to tell you that what you can easily understand from the bible does not mean what it says. Never have respect of persons in the sense that you believe something simply because the person said it. Remember, Satan is out there looking for an opportunity to deceive you so be on your guard.
