I really want to thank God for the presentation of the word of God by Dr. Derek Prince. Doctrinally and practically speaking, he gives a very systematic understanding of the inevitable spiritual warfare we are in.

This is a book that provides both the information and inspiration to uphold and (simply) express the victory that Christ has purchased for us (His body) through His death and resurrection. Let us therefore follow those who through faith and patience obtained the promise.

Simple, accessible, easy-to-read. A very basic look at the Armour of God within the context of the gear of a Roman soldier plus a section on offensive weapons of prayer, praise, preaching and testimony.

Another excellent book by Derek Prince. I read this and actually thought it was an excellent introduction to the topic of spiritual warfare. If read carefully, ponder, and pray with this book, your abilities as a prayer warrior will blossom. Derek Prince explains the battle that's happening now between the forces of God and the forces of evil. Choose to be prepared by learning the enemy's strategies so you can effectively block his attack. We have God on our side, and nothing will keep us from victory. It is an excellent book. Worth Reading.

Well written and easy to understand language. I really like the way the author write and his explanations on Biblical verses. I like how he discuss one of my favorite passage in the Holy Bible. I wish I could meet or connect to real spiritual warriors of today. As of this time I haven’t met people like Mr Derek Prince. I respect his knowledge and though I read several bad comments about him, I know that a lot of people nowadays are hateful and are not to be believed. As far as I have read his writings it’s from a solid Biblical perspective. When he isn’t sure he says it. He doesn’t twist it for his benefit. God may reveal some of the mysteries to His chosen people.

Excellent book on Spiritual Warfare. Prince breaks this topic down into easy to understand components, providing scriptural support. He shows the way to be victorious in battle - I think we try to complicate it.

If you’ve been experiencing certain negative ongoing cycles in your Christian walk, this book is for you. As a Christian, there is an undeniable target on your back. After all, when we signed up to follow Christ, we signed up for war. So, we might as well learn how to fight and WIN!

Derek Prince is a teacher of teachers! This book is primarily based on sound biblical exposition sprinkled with a few personal and anecdotal accounts. As Christians, many of us engage in specific practices without a thorough understanding of WHY we do what we do. This book lays a solid foundation for Biblical spiritual warfare. Reading this book will help you wield the weapons of your warfare with new confidence and greater skill!

Basic theology but encouagingly true

In these days in which ‘truth’ is whatever ‘I’ want it to be, Prince’s continuous use of scripture is rewarding. It is true that the end times draw near and that the Church faces stern tests. How well we know scripture and how clearly we exercise it day to day may well prove vital. Vital for those in need of salvation through Jesus Christ and vital for His bride to step aside and be true witnesses. Prince shows the way declared in scripture. Truly, we do not fight against flesh and blood .......

Derek Prince was an annointed teacher of scripture, specifically spiritual warfare. In this book, Prince lays out the fact that all Christians are spiritual warriors, aligned with the army of God against Satan.

Mr. Prince's book primarily focuses on a Christian's defensive armor: the girdle of truth; the breatsplace of righteousness; the shoes of rpeparation of the Gospel; the shield of faith; the helmet of slavation; the sword of the spirit; and, the stance of the Christian in regard to weaknesses. this approach provides a sound base for grappling with the reality of spiritual warfare.

The latter part of the book is dedicated to the weapons of offense. The author breaks it down to four weapons: spirit-filled prayer, praise for the Lord's miracles and intervention, preaching the Word, and, sharing one's testimony to shine a light on truth. The key point is that all these come by way of the mouth which can elevate or destroy. By using it for good, one gains a supernatural victory over the devil, our enemy who is exposed and weakened by these acts. He also brings forth the solemnity of these acts. Divine power comes forth through each of these acts.

The author wraps up the book the truth that those who testify are washed by the blood of Christ. In the end, we are forgiven, redeemed, cleansed, justified, and, sanctified. The key is that Christians must be on the offensive for the powerof the Lord is with Christians.

As usual, Derek Prince (my favorite Bible teacher) does not disappoint! Scripture is chock full of promises and practical help; the more we study the Bible, the more likely we are to live by it. With his typical practicality, approachable writing style, and scholarly meticulousness, DP unpacks complex concepts in a way that makes it possible for anyone to understand and apply them to his/her life.

Derek Prince depict vividly the spiritual warfare we[believers] are constantly in with the dark forces of the sworn enemy of God, Satan or the Devil. He describes with impeccable clarity both the defensive armor and offensive weapons that God provide to us to win this glorious battle.

There was this one part in this book that says "We fight spiritual with spiritual not with physical". How can we do that, we fight it by praying to God, and God, that is spiritual we fight for us.


Thank you, Derek Prince.
