The Enemies We Face Pt. 10

Derek Prince examines Galatians 3:10, explaining that those who seek righteousness through law-keeping are under a curse, for "cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which were written in the book of the law to do them." He notes that no one can be justified by works of the law, since this appeals to human pride and leads people to boast rather than trust, as Abraham did, believing God for righteousness. Prince shares how soldiers he witnessed to instinctively responded by listing their own personal rules, illustrating humanity's natural tendency toward self-made righteousness rather than reliance on the cross.

Prince argues the church's greatest needs are restoring the centrality of the cross and recognising Jesus' headship, warning that when the cross is obscured, churches fall back into legalism and witchcraft-like control. Citing Hebrews 10:14, he explains the cross is the sole basis for God's provision, the means of Satan's total defeat, and the only source of power for true Christian living, since the "old man" is crucified with Christ (Romans 6). He closes with Jeremiah 17:5, warning against trusting in human effort rather than God's grace, concluding that losing sight of the cross leads believers back into fleshly striving and rules instead of supernatural power.
