Derek presents his book 'Getting Healed' -a guide to help you receive your healing from God. It reveals the 4 key things you need to understand in order to obey Mark 11:24: (1) God's Will is to heal you, (2) God's Nature is that He is a liberal Giver, (3) God's Gift is His Healing Power, and (4) God's Method.

Temples have 3 parts (Holy of Holies, Holy Place, Outer Court), because they are all pictures of Man, God’s ultimate Temple, consisting of 3 parts (spirit, soul, body). Christ came as the perfect Prototype Temple, filled with the Holy Spirit. Then through His death and resurrection He multiplied Himself in us.

In this short video, Derek presents his book 'Daniel's 70 Weeks' which gives God's Countdown to the Messiah. It reveals how God fulfilled the first part of this Prophecy right on time proving that Jesus is the Messiah, and how the rest of the Prophecy is about to be fulfilled in the Tribulation.

The heavenly Temple and all earthly Temples of God, starting with Eden, are pictures of God’s ultimate Temple = Redeemed Man. God’s ultimate Purpose for us is to be His Temple, so He would dwell IN us, and we would carry His Presence and Glory, and God’s Spirit would flow through us as Rivers of Life.

God's ultimate Purpose for MAN is revealed through His TEMPLES, for we are made to be indwelt and filled by God. Earthly temples (starting from Eden) are made from the blueprint of the heavenly temple, but all these temples are just pictures of God's ultimate eternal TEMPLE - redeemed MAN in Christ.

God has put His song in our heart and He wants us to sing it (Psa 40:3). God desires to hear our voice as part of the great symphony of praise rising up from all His creation (Psa 148). God sung His song of love & forgiveness through Jesus. He gives the melody and He wants us to sing in harmony with Him.

The aim of Fasting is to help get ourself in position to hear and receive from God and be a channel for His Power. It changes us, not God, by helping to remove our unbelief. In fasting we subject our natural desires to our desire for God. 3 Purposes of Fasting are to aid Repentance, Guidance & Intercession.

Jesus fasted and taught on Fasting. It boosts and reinforces Prayer. It does not impress God, but is a means to change us, to help humble our soul before God (Psa 35:13), reducing the dominance of our flesh, so we can be more sensitive to the Spirit. Prayer & fasting removes natural unbelief (Matt 17:21)

Queen Esther is an example of a true intercessor, who shaped the course of history. She is a picture of the Church, called to reign with Christ and release His power through intercession. Then Derek describes the qualities of intercessors, especially their persistence in prayer (Luke 11:8, Ephesians 6:10-18, 2Kings 13:14-18).

James 5 gives ELIJAH as our example for how to PRAY for the RAIN of the SPIRIT, necessary to bring the SEED of the WORD in men's hearts to fruition, resulting in a harvest of precious fruit (souls). His prayer posture was as one in labour (1Kings 18:42), giving birth to the revelation in his womb (v41).
