TWO GIANTS DEAD WITHIN DAYS
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
World-renowned Bible teacher and author Derek Prince has
just died on Sept 23 in Jerusalem aged 88 years. Derek Prince
was one of the most prominent leaders of the Charismatic
movement and his teaching and radio ministry spanned
half the globe.
This wonderful man of God died in his sleep of heart-failure
following a long period of declining health.
Prince wrote more than 45 books, including 'Shaping the
World Through Prayer and Fasting'. He was a real father of
the faith to an entire generation. A true giant has passed
away. The Christian world will not be quite the same without
him.
Meanwhile, just days before, another world-renowned speaker,
author and prophet, Kenneth E. Hagin, died after nearly
70 years of ministry.
He passed away on September 19 aged 86 years.
God had miraculously healed Hagin of a deformed heart and an
incurable blood disease at the age of 17, and he was raised
from a deathbed in 1934 by the revelation of faith in God's
Word.
Known as the "father of the modern faith movement," Hagin
operated as a prophet a great deal in his earlier years, later
becoming more well-known as a healing teacher and
preacher - with a particular emphasis on Faith.
Whatever your feelings about his Faith message, there can
be no denying that Kenneth Hagin was a giant figure in the
modern church, with massive impact around the world.
It surely has to be significant that two of these giant leaders
of the Charismatic generation have passed away within just
a few days of one another? These were two of the most
prominent Christian leaders of the past half-century. The
church will certainly not be the same without them.
