Derek Prince Testimony From Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting Told by John Hagee Sermon. So lets listen to a short summary of this Derek Prince story by John Hagee who was close friends with Derek and spoke at his funeral. After the clip I will expand on the story a bit more because Hagee only gives a quick version of the story.

From 1949 to 1956, Derek was pastor of a congregation in London, England. He retained a special interest in God’s dealings with the Jewish people since he lived in Israel and was present at the birth of this nation. Early in 1953, he received information from reliable sources that Josef Stalin, who at the time ruled the Soviet Union as an unchallenged dictator, was planning a systematic purge directed against the Russian Jews. As he meditated on this situation, the Lord reminded him of Paul’s exhortation to the gentile Christians concerning the Jews:

(2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV).
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

Somehow, he felt that God was laying at his door the responsibility to pray for the Jews in Russia. Derek shared his feelings with the leaders of a few small prayer groups, in various parts of Britain, who also had a special concern for the Jews. So, they decided to set aside one day for special prayer and fasting on behalf of the Russian Jews.

Derek doesn’t recall the exact date. All the members of their groups voluntarily committed themselves to abstain from food that day and to devote special time to prayer for God’s intervention on behalf of the Jews in Russia. Their congregation met that evening for group prayer devoted primarily to that topic. Then something that would change the course of history happened. You do not want to miss this testimony.

They said nothing special happened that day. But within two weeks from that day, the course of history inside Russia was changed by one decisive event: the death of Stalin. He was seventy-three years old. No advance warning of his sickness or impending death was given to the Russian people. Up to the last moment, sixteen of Russia’s most skilled doctors fought to save his life, but in vain. The cause of death was said to be a brain hemorrhage. Stalin was dead at the hands of praying Christians.

Let it be clearly stated that no member of any of Derek’s groups prayed for the death of Stalin. They simply committed the situation inside Russia to God, and trusted His wisdom for the answer that was needed. Nevertheless, Derek was convinced that God’s answer came in the form of Stalin’s death.

The reason why i shared this story is because we live in times of great distress and wars, and rumors of wars. We don't have to just sit back and take it. We can pray and see history shaped through our prayers.
