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
I have to ask, are you sure you are talking about Derek Prince[died in 2003] or are you confusing him with Dr. Frederick Price[still alive]
We read many of his books and he did in fact claim Christians could be demonized. He mentored Frank and Ida Mae Hammond[Pigs in the parlor] and they also believed this. Prince without hesitation, claimed a Christian could be demonized
There are many stories in his books about delivering Pastors from demons, including demons of nicotine and demons of gluttony. Prince also always taught that a person had to cough up a wad of flem or black mist would need to come from their feet to confirm the deliverance was truly done. He pontificated that it took hours and hours to properly deliver someone, even from demons of nicotine and alcohol, wrath, anger, gluttony, and lust. It took Jesus and his own followers seconds, not hours.
It has not been proven and there is no evidence, but there was a rumor that about a year before he died he recanted and said his deliverance ministry was a hoax to help him live the lifestyle he did. He also stated the Holy Spirit showed him he was confusing demons for works of the flesh.
The fact that smoking is an addiction and not demonic gave us pause, but his real issue was claiming babies can be demonized in the womb of the mother.
