11/8 Monday meditation

I'm going back to E.W. Kenyon quotes for a week or two. I just found two Kenyon books on my shelf that I bought two years ago at a garage sale and haven't read.

E. W. Kenyon was a friend of A.B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and they often traded pulpits. Kenyon was a strong influence on Simpson in his day, and on Kenneth E. Hagin much later on. Kenyon is considered a forerunner of the Word of Faith movement.

Kenyon tends to write each sentence as a separate paragraph, and nearly every sentence is worthy of an extended discussion on it own.

Righteousness ... means the ability to stand in the Father's presence without the sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority.

We stand there as sons in the presence of the Father of love.

We have been recreated out of His own heart.

We are of His own substance.

You know it will be a great day when large bodies of believers come to understand what they really are in Christ.

"Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation."

He is a new species, something the world had never known until the Day of Pentecost.

He is so nearly like Christ, so utterly one with Him, that Christ can say, "I am the vine, and ye are the branches."

We are become partakers of His own nature. Not only that, but He has deigned to come and make His home in our bodies.

I cannot grasp this with sense knowledge.

I simply know that it is a fact, and my spirit bears witness with the Word that it is true.

He is in me now. That great, mighty Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is in me. . .
