He was educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at two of Britain's most famous educational institutions: Eton College and Cambridge University. From 1940 to 1949, he held a Fellowship (equivalent to a resident professorship) in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King's College, Cambridge. He also studied Hebrew and Aramaic, both at Cambridge University and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In addition, he speaks a number of other modern languages. In the early years of World War II, while serving as a hospital attendant with the British Army, Derek Prince experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ, concerning which he wrote the following: Out of this encounter, I formed two conclusions which I have never since had reason to change: first, that Jesus Christ is alive; second, that the Bible is a true, relevant, up-to-date book. These two conclusions radically and permanently altered the whole course of my life. Derek Prince's nondenominational, nonsectarian approach has opened doors for his teaching to people from many different racial and religious backgrounds. He is internationally recognized as one of the leading Bible expositors of our time. His daily radio broadcast, Today with Derek Prince, reaches more than half the globe, including translations into Arabic, five Chinese languages (Mandarin, Amoy, Cantonese, Shanghaiese, and Swatow), Mongolian, Spanish, Russian, and Tongan. He has published more than thirty books, which have been translated into over fifty foreign languages. Through the Global Outreach Leaders Program of Derek Prince Ministries, his books and audio cassettes are sent free of charge to hundreds of national Christian leaders in countries in the Third World, Eastern Europe, and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Now past the age of seventy-five, Derek Prince still travels the world— imparting God's revealed truth, praying for the sick and afflicted, and sharing his prophetic insights into world events in the light of Scripture. The international base of Derek Prince Ministries is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, with branch offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. 7 T H S HE OLY PIRIT IN Y OU C ONTENTS The Holy Spirit in You..........................................................................................8 1 Before Pentecost........................................................................................11 2 The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus...........................................................17 3 What Happened at Pentecost.....................................................................21 4 Our Indwelling helper................................................................................27 5 Revelation of God's Word..........................................................................31 6 Lifted Onto a Supernatural Plane...............................................................35 7 Help in Prayer............................................................................................39 8 Life and Health for Our Bodies..................................................................43 9 Outpouring of Divine Love........................................................................47 10 How to Open Up to the Holy Spirit.........................................................53
