📘 Chapter 9 Review – The Complete Exchange
In this chapter, Derek Prince beautifully outlines what he calls the divine exchange—where everything that rejection took from us, God replaces with something far better.
We come to God with our brokenness, our past, our fear of being unloved… and He gives us healing, purpose, security, and most of all, His unshakable love.
Prince walks us through the spiritual transactions that take place when we fully surrender rejection to Jesus:
-
Our wounds are exchanged for healing.
-
Our shame is exchanged for honor.
-
Our fear is exchanged for peace.
-
Our orphan spirit is exchanged for sonship.
-
Our insecurity is exchanged for confidence in Christ.
This exchange is made possible through the cross of Christ—where Jesus bore every form of rejection so that we could walk in total acceptance. Prince reminds us that this isn't something we earn. It’s a gift. A divine trade made out of love.
Reading this, I realized how often I’d prayed for healing but had stopped short of truly receiving the full exchange. I had given God my wounds but still walked in fear and uncertainty—almost as if I believed the healing was partial or temporary. But here, Prince makes it clear: the work Jesus did is complete.
This chapter encourages us to live from that exchange, not just visit it in times of need. It’s a call to walk confidently as someone fully loved, fully accepted, and fully equipped to share that love with others.
