Faith and Works Pt. 5

Derek Prince shares a personal testimony illustrating the dangers of relying on human strength rather than divine grace, referencing Jeremiah 17:5, which states, "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm." He recounts a period of struggle while trying to sell his house in Jerusalem, which only changed after he recognised his reliance on self rather than God. Upon confessing this and repenting, the sale of the house was miraculously completed within two weeks, demonstrating the power of releasing oneself from curses to allow God's intervention.

Prince then delves into the essence of the law, emphasising that the righteous requirement of the law is love, as seen in Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus commands us to love God and our neighbours. He asserts that true faith operates through love (Galatians 5:6) and challenges listeners to evaluate their motivations in ministry, stressing that without love, all efforts are in vain. Ultimately, he encourages believers to continue in faith, as righteousness is accounted to those who believe, regardless of their imperfections, culminating in the reminder from James 1:25 that true freedom is found in the law of love.
