"Every generation has a responsibility to record it's own heritage of God's dealings with them. The published word preserves our heritage and leaves a legacy for generations to come".
"We believe that by God's grace He has given us a unique ministry. The five of us - Charles Simpson, Bob Mumford, Derek Prince, Ern Baxter and myself - who by His design were joined together more than a decade ago, certainly don't have the only message God is speaking today. But we believe that He has given us a unique and distinct message, and we feel a deep responsibility as stewards of it. We have come to see that one way God can extend, bless and use our message is through the published word".
Don Basham - "The Power of the Printed Word" - New Wine Magazine - July 1982 - CGM Ministries.
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent

John Wesley on True Discipleship
"To bring people to conversion and make no subsequent for their instruction is to beget children for the murderer".

Derek Prince on True Faith
"A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere".
Derek Prince - "Foundational Truths for Christian Living" - Charisma Publications (2006) - (p478).
Derek Prince on Final Judgement
"We must state clearly and emphatically that this judgement of Christians will not be a judgement of condemnation".

Derek Prince on the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Mission
"I think if we ever lose the sense of compulsion to reach everybody with this testimony, God will withdraw the anointing of the Holy Spirit".
Derek Prince - "What God Wants to Do Next" - New Wine Magazine - October 1977 - CGM Ministries - (p38).
Derek Prince on Revival
"I want to point out a basic principle: the rain is given for a purpose and that purpose is the harvest. The husbandsman isn't waiting for the rain - He is waiting for the harvest! But He knows He can't get the harvest until He receives the rain.
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is not an end in itself. It is the necessary vision for reaping the harvest. But the harvest is the end ... it is the last, great ingathering of souls into the Kingdom of God".
Derek Prince - "What God Wants to Do Next" - New Wine Magazine - October 1977 - CGM Ministries - (p38).

Derek Prince on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
"The people who reject the baptism of the Holy Spirit have no personal experience of this manifestation of God's supernatural power; and as a result they either ignore or misinterpret the Scriptures that plainly describe it".
Derek Prince - "New Wine Forum" - New Wine Magazine - January 1972 - CGM Ministries Publishing, Ft Lauderdale, Florida - (p20).

Derek Prince on Doctrine vs Experience
"Personal experience by itself is never a sufficient basis for establishing biblical doctrine. At times however it can have the effect of illuminating a doctrine that previously one did not know how to apply".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p30).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"The ignominous failure of the sons of Sceva is also clear proof that success in casting out demons does not depend merely on using the right "formula". The person using the formula must be a sincere and yielded channel for the supernatural Person of the Holy Spirit".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p28).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"This is New Testament evangelism: The Gospel is preached and multitudes hear; they see the miracles and casting out of demons and they believe, they are baptised and the church is established. A central element is the expelling of demons".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p26-27).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"Since the beginning of the 20th century, a great deal has been preached, taught and written about the second sign (Mark 16:17) - speaking with new tongues. But the sign Jesus put first - casting out demons has not received the same positive attention. It is sad that the contemporary Western Church has been unwilling to come to grips with the issue of demons".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p25).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"It (expelling demons) was a unique demonstration that the Kingdom of God had come upon the people of His day".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p13).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"Casting out demons demonstrated two important spiritual truths. 1. It revealed the existance of two opposing Kingdoms - of God and of Satan. 2. It demonstrated the victory of God over Satan's".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p12).
Derek Prince on Expelling Demons
"I can find no basis anywhere in the New Testament for an evangelistic ministry that does not include the expelling of demons".
Derek Prince - "They Shall Expel Demons" - DPM UK (1998) - (p12).

Derek Prince on Intercessors
"One man could have turned the tide for a whole nation. God is looking for a man!".
Derek Prince in "Praying for the Government" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p46).
Derek Prince on Intercessors
"We are the decisive factor in the affairs of the universe".
Derek Prince in "Praying for the Government" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p45).
Derek Prince on Territorial Spirits
"I believe that behind every kingdom, every nation, every great city there is an invisible rulership ... I have travelled widely and I have noticed when you go to certain places or certain cities you can feel the presence of spiritual power ...
There is never a breakthrough in the Kingdom of God until these spiritual powers have been brought into subjection by prayer. When that happens the avalanche of revival will cover a nation or a kingdom or a city. The great barrier to a real move of God is in the unseen realm".
Derek Prince in "Praying for the Government" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p44).
Derek Prince on Intercession
"When you seek God's face you do not stop until you get into God's Presence - even if it takes all night. There is a lot of praying that is not seeking God's face - it stops short of contact with God".
Derek Prince in "Praying for the Government" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p35).
Derek Prince on Intercessors
"We are the people who are the defense of the country. We are the bullwark of any nation ... the righteous man can preserve a whole city".
Derek Prince in "Praying for the Government" from "Vintage Years - Selected Articles from New Wine's First Decade: 1969-1979" - New Wine Publishers, Mobile, Alabama - (p33).
Derek Prince on Prayer
"God desires the church to exert a controlling influence on the affairs of this world through prayer".
