Derek Prince - How Derek Was Delivered From A Demon Of Cancer
This is an excerpt from: War In Heaven And Earth - Part 2
Thank you very much. God bless you all. Last night if I remember correctly, and my memory is getting a little crowded, we covered spiritual warfare in the heavenlies. I can't go back to that, but tonight we're going to continue and deal with spiritual warfare on Earth, and especially the people we're making war with on Earth, who are demons or evil spirits. And that's what we're going to talk about tonight in a simple and practical way. But I think it would suit me to begin with a brief, up-to-date personal testimony.
Last September I was living with one of my married daughters, my only Arab daughter, in England, and I went for a medical checkup and was referred to what in England they call a consultant, the highest medical rank, and I was diagnosed bladder cancer. This was a very thorough diagnosis with a cystoscopy and internal inspection. And then they told me it was a dangerous cancer because it could spread to other parts of the body. Well, I wasn't scared. I felt that God was in control. And I lived with one of my married daughters, as I said, and she had a boyfriend, the family had a friend who was a chaplain.
Now I don't think most Americans know what a chaplain is. A chaplain is about the lowest rank in the office of the, what do you call that? Anglican Church, what do you call it here? The Episcopal Church. Thank you. So I was at my daughter's house, and we got a call from a young man, a chaplain in the Anglican church, young enough to be my grandson, and he said, "I'd like to come and pray for you. May I come "? So of course I said, "Yes, please, welcome"! He was a bit timid. He was sitting across the living room and after a while I said to him, "Now, I want you to understand that I don't necessarily expect that if you pray for me I will immediately be completely cured of cancer. But come and pray anyway".
So he came. I sat in a chair. He stood next to me, put his hand on my shoulder and started praying, and it was like, I can only say like cats fighting in my chest. I have never experienced such an intense conflict inside. And I let out a loud, long, sustained roar; not just a scream, it was a roar. And in that moment I knew I had been delivered from a demon of cancer. Now, about six months later, to my knowledge, there is no evidence of cancer anywhere in my body. So I want to encourage you, it pays to get rid of demons. Don't be ashamed, don't be afraid, just accept what God has for you.
