INTRODUCTION
In the cross is health,
in the cross is life,
in the cross is protection from enemies,
in the cross is heavenly sweetness,
in the cross strength of mind,
in the cross joy of the Spirit,
in the cross the height of virtue,
in the cross perfection of holiness.
There is no health of the soul, no hope of eternal life, save in the cross.
Thomas à Kempis, fifteenth-century theologian
In the closing years of his long and extraordinary life, Derek Prince lamented more than once what he saw as a decline in bold preaching focused on the cross. He saw Jesus’ sacrifice as central to every aspect of the Christian life. In fact, to a group of ministry supporters and friends he once wrote:
Anywhere I go, if I have the choice and opportunity to deal seriously with a group of people, it is my committed intention always to begin with the cross.
And I would like to say to those of you who are preachers and ministers, do not ever leave the cross out of your preaching. When you do, you’re like the drill sergeant giving excellent orders to people without the power to carry them out. That power comes only from the cross.
In my preaching I remember the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 2: “I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. . . . My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.”
To explore Derek Prince’s lifetime of teaching is nothing less than an exploration of the breathtaking depth and breadth of the redemption Jesus accomplished through His suffering, death and conquest of death. And nowhere will you find a better guide to that revelation than in the book you hold in your hands.
In Bought with Blood Derek brings us a complete and panoramic picture of what Jesus paid an awful price to obtain for us. On the pages that follow, you will find truths that have equipped hundreds of thousands to live more freely, more fully and more powerfully than ever before.
As Derek lays out the nine exchanges transacted at the cross, you will likely find that you have been living beneath your privileges as a blood-bought child of God. In the chapters covering the five aspects of deliverance, you will discover keys to a level of freedom you never dreamed possible. And as Derek shows you in the closing chapters how to appropriate these truths in practical terms, you will find greater access to the Holy Spirit’s power for living the highest and best of God’s will for your life.
Beyond all this, and perhaps most importantly, the journey on which Derek Prince takes you will surely produce in you a heart overflowing with love and thankfulness for Jesus. Such hearts belong to those used mightily by God!
