Derek Prince was a Missionary, theologian, Bible teacher and acclaimed author of over 100 books.
Through the spiritual discipline of fasting and praying, Derek experienced many amazing testimonies.
One of such remarkable testimonies is shared in his book, ‘Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting.’
Derek was a pastor in London, when in early 1953, he received information that Josef Stalin, ruler of the Soviet Union, was planning a systematic purge of Russian Jews.
In February of 1953, Stalin had commissioned the construction of four camps in Kazakhstan, Siberia and in the Arctic North, where he planned to exterminate all the Jews in Russia.
Joseph Stalin, had already murdered 30 million Russians in trying to bring godless communism to Russia and now he planned to murder the Jews in Russia.
As Derek meditated on this situation, he felt God was laying on him a burden to pray for the Jews in Russia. He shared his feelings with the leaders of certain prayer groups in Britain, and they decided to set aside one day for special prayer and fasting on behalf of the Russian Jews.
On that day, all the leaders voluntarily abstained from food and prayed for God’s intervention on behalf of the Jews in Russia.
Though they had specifically not prayed for the death of Stalin, but simply committed the situation to God, two weeks later, the course of history inside Russia was changed as Stalin suddenly died.
Stalin died just a day before his planned execution of the Jewish people. There was no advance warning of Stalin’s impending death. He had suffered a sudden brain haemorrhage and though sixteen of Russia’s most skilled doctors fought to save his life, it was in vain.
The consequences of Stalin’s death was a period of positive changes in Russian that saw the overturning of Stalin’s repressive policies.
In the book of Esther, Haman died before he could execute his evil plan for the extermination of the Jews.
In Esther 4, when it became known that Haman planned to murder all the Jews in Susa, Queen Esther called for a fast. After all the Jews fasted for three days and nights, divine judgment fell upon Haman. His evil plan backfired. While the Jews were delivered, Haman died by hanging.
In Acts chapter 12, King Herod after executing James, then proceeded to arrest Peter to be also executed. But as the church in Jerusalem applied themselves to earnest, persistent prayer on Peter’s behalf, God’s judgment fell. While Peter had angelic deliverance, Herod died after being eaten by worms.
Certainly, God is able to deal with every Haman or Herod of our destiny.
When we fast and pray, God’s power is released for our deliverance and every plot against us comes under swift judgment.
The truth is that for you to rise in life, certain gang-ups have to fall for your sake.
To step into the great and effectual doors opened before us, many adversaries must be overcome.
Therefore in this period of waiting upon the Lord, let us be assured that God is set to deal with every resistance against our progress .
We don’t have to bother about the oppositions as long as we maintain our position in God.
According to Deuteronomy 28;7, though they may come one way against you, they will scatter in seven ways.
Certainly as you key into this season of fasting and praying, and have a closer walk with God, your dominion will be established.
Your strength will be renewed and you will mount up with eagles wings above obstacles.
The stumbling blocks placed on your path will be turned to stepping stones of your progress. Anyone who decides to gather against you, shall fall for your sake, and surely every tongue that rises against you in Judgment, shall be condemned..
PRAYER: Lord, in this season of waiting upon You, let your deliverance be made fully manifest in my life. Indeed May Your divine judgment come upon everything contesting my glorious destiny in Jesus Name.
