Derek Prince is a well known Bible teaching and author.
He passed away in 2003, at the age of 88 years old. The publisher has decided
to rerelease this book with new teachings he has written before he passed. Rules
of Engagement is written to strengthen believers into facing and enduring until
the final battle between Jesus and satan’s demonic forces. Every person has to
encounter testing times and chastening from our sins sometime in their lives. Chastening
occurs when we have committed sins and have been disobedient and God is calling
us to repent and turn from them. Testing means we’re growing in our character
while having to undergo difficult times. Trusting in God and His faithfulness is
a key aspect in coming out stronger in our testing times. Derek Prince had a
wonderful point about how people are willing to trust a banker with their money
than trusting that God will bring them out of their current circumstances that
they are dealing with.
The book also encourages readers to worship and praise
the Lord who died for our many sins and mistakes. Worship is considered to be
an attitude of thanksgiving and we’re supposed to bow our head or bow down on
our knees with our hands raised worshiping our Creator. Derek Prince personally
believed that worship is a time of resting in God’s holy presence. I have to
admit that I haven’t considered worship to be a state of resting, breathing,
and listening to His voice. In my church, we identify worship as singing and
dancing, not being still and resting. But Prince looks as worship and praise as
two separate things that we can do to honor our Heavenly Father. Praise is the element of singing and dancing
about the goodness of God during a church service or even a home service. There
are times when we need to shout with a voice of triumph about how thankful we
are to be saved, loved, protected, provided for, healed, made whole, and
forgiven. Another facet is remembering that praise and saying the name of Jesus
makes the enemy tremble and shake! He has to flee!
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn
about how to conquer our enemy with praising and worshiping our Savior. This book will guide readers into applying the
word of God and how to put on the full armor of God against attacks from satan.
This book taught be a lot about enduring
to the final battle and holding on until Christ’s glorious return. If you’re
looking to grow in your faith and trusting in God’s all power then this book
will benefit you. Satan wants you to live in fear and doubt but always remember
that he is the one who is really afraid of our Jesus!
“I received this book free from the publisher through the
Bethany House Publishers/ Chosen book review bloggers program.”
