About the Author in back of book.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Demons and deliverance===<br /> As a [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]], Prince believed in the reality of spiritual forces operating in the world, and of the power of demons to cause illness and psychological problems. While in Seattle he was asked to perform an exorcism on a woman, and he came to believe that Christians could be &quot;demonized&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Prince1998&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Derek Prince|title=They Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HzlejwvKhRIC&amp;pg=PA142|date=1 May 1998|publisher=Baker Books|isbn=978-1-58558-185-6|pages=142–}}&lt;/ref&gt; (normally described as &quot;possessed&quot; by demons - Prince avoided this term which implies &#039;ownership&#039;).&lt;ref name=&quot;PrinceTSED&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Derek Prince|title=They Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HzlejwvKhRIC&amp;pg=PA142|date=1 May 1998|publisher=Baker Books|isbn=978-1-58558-185-6|pages=16–17}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;PrinceDandD&quot;&gt;{{cite book|author=Derek Prince|title=Deliverance and Demonology - Derek Prince Ministries|url=http://www.derekprince.org/Publisher/File.aspx?ID=1000034917|date=1971|accessdate=20 September 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt; This was at odds with the more usual Pentecostal view that demons could &quot;possess&quot; unbelievers, but could only &quot;oppress&quot; Christians. Prince believed that his [[deliverance ministry]] used the power of God to defeat demons.&lt;ref&gt;Derek Prince. &#039;&#039;Blessings or Curse: You Can Choose!&#039;&#039; (Chosen, 1990, &#039;&#039;They Shall Expel Demons&#039;&#039; (Chosen, 1998)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Israel===<br /> [[File:Gone Home (5857962728).jpg|250px|right|thumb|The grave of Derek Prince in Alliance Church International Cemetery, [[Jerusalem]]]]<br /> Prince strongly opposed [[replacement theology]]. His book &#039;&#039;The Destiny of Israel and the Church&#039;&#039; argues that the Church has not replaced Israel and that the covenant that God made with the nation of Israel still stands today. Prince also believed that the creation of the [[state of Israel]] was the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Derek states in his book &#039;&#039;Promised Land&#039;&#039;, &quot;The central theme of biblical prophecy, as it is being unfolded in our time, revolves around the land and the people of Israel. God is carrying out His predetermined plan to regather the Jewish people from their worldwide dispersion and restore them to their ancient homeland.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Derek Prince &#039;&#039;Promised Land: God&#039;s Word and the Nation of Israel&#039;&#039; (Derek Prince Ministries-International, 2003) 55&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==The Shepherding Movement==<br /> Prince created the [[Shepherding Movement]] with fellow ministers [[Don Basham]], Bob Mumford, Charles Simpson and [[Ern Baxter]], who became known as the &#039;Fort Lauderdale Five.&#039; They sought to counter what were seen as excesses within the [[Charismatic Movement]], by emphasizing discipleship and pastoral care. The practice of &#039;personal submission to spiritual authorities&#039; was considered controversial.&lt;ref&gt;George Thomas Kurian, Mark A.
