Holy Spirit Power 12/30 Friday faith

We are partaker, sharers in His Resurrection.


Col. 3:1: "If then ye have shared in Messiah's resurrection."

You see, we were raised together with Him in the mind of Justice.

We possess resurrection ability.

You doubt it? Read Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you."

Eph. 3:20: "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power (or ability) that abideth in you."

If that doesn't make supermen out of common men, then the English language cannot convey God's thought.

Power of Attorney 12/19 Thursday thoughts

You see what we have now?


We have the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus; and all authority in heaven and on earth is invested in that Name . . .



This believer, this new creation, is a child of Deity.

He stands before the world as a very branch of the vine.

He is taking Jesus' place in the world.

And if this isn't a superman, then I don't know the meaning of the term.

The Church has kept this "Samson" imprisoned by false teaching and by creeds and doctrines. They have not only held him a prisoner to their philosophies and dogmas, but they have actually put out his eyes.

But the Father is going to restore sight to him and break the bonds that hold him.

Believing Ones 12/28 Wednesday wisdom

Mark 9:23: "All things are possible to him that believeth."


The word "believeth" means "a believing one."

There were no "believing ones" in the time while Christ was preaching. They were Jews under law.

The "believing ones" came into being at Pentecost.

It meant a believer, a New Creation Man.

The new creation man is a partaker of God's nature.

He is really an Incarnation. He has received the nature and life of God.

Then he invites the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead, who came on the day of Pentecost, to make His home in his body.

This man not only has God's nature, but has God actually living in him.

If this doesn't constitute a superman, then I don't know what a superman is.

The Mighty One is in me. 12/17 Tuesday truth

I want you to say in the morning, "That mighty One is in me. He can put me over today. I can face any emergency. I can do all things in Him because He is my strength."




I can hear Him whisper, Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not for I am with thee. ("I am in thee.") Be not dismayed for I am thy (Father) God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee; yea, I am today all that you need: your helper, your wisdom, your strength, your ability."



You see, it is not what I should be. It is not what I can be.

It is what I am in Christ.

May It Be 12/24 Christmas meditation

from AllWorship.com newsletter (a great place to get Christian music 24/7/365 on the internet)


Wishing you all a blessed Christmas.

The next meditation will be posted Monday evening for Tuesday.



MAY IT BE


Mary was a young girl who was pledged and chosen to be married to a man named Joseph. She had never been intimate with a man; she was a virgin.

One day the angel Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God (Luke 1:19), appears to Mary and gives her a word from God. Mary is told that she will conceive a child by the Holy Spirit--and that child will be the Messiah!

Now remember, first Mary is seeing and hearing an angel. Then, this angel tells her she will carry The Messiah for Israel and all of mankind, and she is a virgin! Mary questions how this could happen and then does an extraordinary and important thing: she accepts The Word and says, "May it be to me as you have said."

Young Mary decided that she would believe and agree with The Word she heard, and she sealed it in faith and history by speaking that she received it! Mary had to speak by faith that she would receive The Word, carry The Word, and birth The Word given to her.

Mary lived in a culture that if an unmarried woman was found to be with child, she could be stoned to death by law. She would have to face her Jewish family and neighbors that were totally against what appeared to be--that Mary had been sexually promiscuous.

And Mary also had Joseph; what would he think of her? As a holy man, he would not want her anymore, for it looked as though Mary had been with another. Try explaining being pregnant without being sexually active! Who would believe you?

Yet with all that was against Mary, she did what God wants us to do today--receive what He has said, believe it and speak that it is happening to you! God needed Mary to believe what His messenger told her. She and Joseph were destined to be the earthly parents of Jesus.

Mary had a decision that day. She decided to not let the circumstances and conditions that surrounded her make her decision for her. Mary got pregnant with the Word of God that was told to her. And The Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among them, and still is today! (John 1:14)

You and I must believe and receive The Word of God concerning us! Let it grow in us and then finally birth in the flesh, in the natural, what is spoken. Friends, receive, believe and speak what has been spoken and promised to you! Even if your body, your doctor, and everyone around you is screaming, "that is impossible!" Remember, God will even do something that has never existed before to keep his Word--even make a virgin pregnant!

Always remember Mary and what she faced--the opposition, ridicule, conflict and pressure. Think about the impossible thoughts she had to overcome that her body would even do what God said it would do! Defeat the enemy every time when he lies to you and tells you that God and His Word are not working for you.

Nothing is impossible with God. Absolutely nothing!

Say it out loud with confidence no matter what it looks like: "May it be to me as you have said."

Happy Hannukah! 12/22 Thursday thoughts

I usually break from the traditional quotes on Jewish holidays to do some teaching on the meaning of Jewish holidays to Christians today.


Hannukah (Chanukah) began at sundown Tuesday, December 20, and continues for eight nights.

Chanukah is a beautiful holy day which was celebrated by Y’shua (Jesus) Himself. . . This holy day is prophetically mentioned in the book of Daniel.

Most surprising to both the Jewish and the Christian communities is that the clearest mention of Chanukah in the Bible... is in the Fulfilled Covenant (the New Testament) ! "Then came Chanukah in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Y’shua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Solomon’s Colonnade" (John 10:22–23). . . The people who do not normally celebrate Chanukah have the most explicit reference to it in the Fulfilled Covenant! This brings us to the core reason why Believers in Messiah Y’shua might want to understand and celebrate this holy day. The Messiah celebrated it!

Not only did Y’shua celebrate Chanukah, but He observed it in the same Temple that had been cleansed and rededicated just a few generations earlier under the Maccabee brothers.

Many Jewish scholars see a deeper spiritual meaning to Chanukah. . . Because Chanukah is a celebration of deliverance, it has also become a time to express Messianic hope. Just like the Maccabees were used by YHWH to redeem Israel, perhaps the greatest redeemer—the Messiah—would also come at this time!

With this understanding, we more fully appreciate the scenes that unfolded as Y’shua celebrated the feast 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Amidst the festivities, Y’shua was approached by some rabbis who asked a simple question: "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly" (John 10:24). The answer to this very appropriate question is contained in Y’shua’s fundamental Chanukah message. He clearly reiterates His claim and the proofs of His Messiahship as can clearly be seen in John 10:25–39.

(quoted from Hebrew Roots Teaching Institute, a Facebook group)

Hannukah celebrates the miracle of lights. Its enduring meaning is that God still does miracles!

The closing of the candle-lighting prayer reads: "We kindle these lights for the miracles and the wonders, for the redemption and the battles which You performed for our forefathers in those days at this season. . . During all eight days of Chanukah these lights are sacred and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them but only to look at them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for your miracles, your wonders, and your salvation.

Resurrection Power 12/21 Wednesday wisdom

The ability of God that was exercised in the resurrection of Jesus belongs to the believer today.
Notice Eph.  :19-20.  Let me give you a somewhat free translation.  "I want to show you what is the exceeding greatness of the ability of God on our behalf who believe.  It is according to the working of the strength of his might which he wrought in the Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand."
We have never grasped the significance of this.
The Father has given to us the ability that He exercised in the resurrection of Jesus.
Then we who have received Eternal Life have in our possession today the resurrection power or ability of God.  . . .
It is no idle thing to have God in you.

Never Talk Failure 12/20 Tuesday truth

You said you could not, and the moment that you said it you were whipped.
You said you did not have faith, and doubt arose like a giant and bound you.
You are imprisoned with your own words.
You talked failure and failure held you in bondage.
Prov. 6:2:  "Thou are snared with the words of thy mouth. Thou are taken (captive) with the words of thy mouth."
Few of us realize that our words dominate us.
A young man said, "I was never whipped until I confessed I was whipped."
Another said, "The moment I began to make a bold, confident confession, a new courage that I had never known took possession of me."   . . .

Never talk failure.
Never talk defeat.
Never for a moment acknowledge that God's ability can't put you over.

God's Word can never die 12/19 Monday meditation

God's Word, like Himself, can never die, can never lose its freshness, its power, its ability to recreate, to strengthen and give courage.


You see, the Word in the lips of faith becomes just like the Word in Jesus' lips.

The Word in lips of doubt and fear is a dead thing; but in the lips of faith, it becomes life-giving, dominant.

Through it the sick are healed; Satan's captives are set free.

This living Word is the lips of faith is God's answer to the heart cry of man.

Man's word may fascinate and satisfy reason for a time, but the heart demands the Word of God.

Prayer Assurance 12/16 Friday faith

When you pray in that Name, it is as though Jesus prayed.


There can be no denial.

You remember Jesus said at the tomb of Lazarus: "I thank thee, Father, that thou dost always hear me." This is the ground for your assurance.

John 14:13-14 He gives us the use of the Name: "And whatsoever ye shall ask or demand in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do."



-- E.W. Kenyon

Reality in Jesus' Name 12/15 Thurs. thoughts

"Reality in Jesus' Name" is the title that E.W. Kenyon put on this passage.

How little have we appreciated this.  It is one of the greatest gifts the Church has ever had given her.

Before Jesus left us He gave to the Church a legal right to the use of His Name.  John 15:16:  "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."

John 16:23-24 (Note this translation):  "And in that day ye shall not pray to me.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father he will give it you in my name.  Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name.  Ask and ye shall receive that your joy may be made full."

Supernatural Order 12/14 Wed. wisdom

You belong to a supernatural order of being whether you recognize it or not, whether you have taken your place or not.  You have the ability of the indwelling presence.
You have the wisdom that Jesus had in His earth walk  because Jesus has been made unto you wisdom
You can think of yourself as linked up with Ability, linked with Omnipotence.
You remember He said:  "And nothing shall be impossible to you."
I know that Sense Knowledge reasoning shrinks from this, but here is where the challenge of grace leads you.
We dare to take our place, dare confess what we are, dare confess that He made up what we are, that we can do what he says we can do because He is at work within us.

            -- E.W. Kenyon

"The Supernatural" 12/13 Tuesday truth

"The Supernatural" is the title that E.W. Kenyon put on this passage.

Prayer is an excursion into the supernatural realm.
You are in the Throne Room in the Presence of God, of All Ability.  He has promised to hear your petition and to give you your request.  You have come on the ground of His Word.
He said:  "Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name He will give you."
You understand that the words that Jesus spoke were His Father's words; so you come now with the Father's words in your lips, and you are making your appeal on the ground of His own Word.

  -- E. W. Kenyon

I Believe in Miracles 12/12 Monday meditation

We will have to give up our prayer life utterly, or we will have to believe in Miracles.


I believe in Miracles.

I believe in divine intervention.

I believe that the prayer of Faith reaches God our Father, and when it reaches Him He acts in response to that Faith.

When He acts in response to our Faith, His action is above our reason. It is in the Realm of Miracles.



-- E.W. Kenyon

No miracles? 12/9 Friday faith

The instant that you say there are no Miracles in this dispensation, you deny that our walk is a walk by Faith, and you declare that our walk is a walk by Reason.


I challenge you to find one place where God tells us as believers to walk by Reason.

God is a Faith God.

We are a Faith Family.

We are all born by Faith.

We live by Faith.

By Faith we live, breathe, and have our being in Christ.

If there are no Miracles, then there is no reason for Faith.

If there are no Miracles, God can't answer prayer, because He can't answer prayer of any character that is not a Miracle.



-- E. W. Kenyon

It's a Miracle 12/8 Thursday thoughts

For God the Father to hear my prayer is equivalent to His answering it.
Now, for God to hear me is a Miracle.
For God to answer my prayer, regardless of its nature, is a Miracle.
Whether my petition is for a postage stamp or for a million dollars, it is a miracle.
Any divine intervention, any arrest of the laws of nature that comes in answer to Faith, is a Miracle.

     -- E. W. Kenyon

Two Short Quotes 12/7 Wednesday wisdom

Let me state it with all the simplicity possible, that you can't have prayers answered without having miracles performed.

The two-fold value of prayer lies first in sitting in His presence, or in direct Fellowship with the Father.
The second benefit is the answer that comes to us.

       -- E.W. Kenyon

Force Yourself 12/6 Tuesday truth

Force yourself into the prayer life.  Regardless of how you feel, drive yourself to prayer.
You will be amazed how halting and stumbling will be your first attempts.
You have been rated, perhaps, as an unusual Christian in the Church.
Men look upon you as an outstanding Christian, but if they knew that in behind your public profession there was an empty closet, or an unused prayer room, they would be amazed.
If you live with the Lord in secret, you will be able to pray with great freedom in public.

Take Time to Pray 12/5 Monday meditation

So few of us, in our busy lives, take time to pray, that the Spirit searches through the congregation for the willing hearts that will deny themselves some of the common pleasures and will be first in the line of prayer instead of last.
On these willing hearts rolls the burden of the entire church.
Thank God, that in our church are found those who are willing to . . . hide away alone with Him to take my burden and yours that we have in some way failed to roll on the Lord. . .
It is a pity that more of us do not force ourselves into a life of prayer.
We have the time.
We use it in useless talk, or careless reading.
While the Spirit is searching for an outlet He must pass us by because we are not ready.
Oh, I beseech you, Reader, not to talk about it any more, or plan when you will do it,. but begin it now.

     -- E.W. Kenyon

As Natural as Breathing 12/2 Friday faith

Prayer should be as natural as breathing and as enjoyable as eating.
Prayer should be as unconscious as our communication with each other.
It should not be the child of need, but should be based on a spiritual fellowship with the Father and with the Master so that our needs are His needs; for we are not our own, we are a part of him. . .

So we are laboring together with Him, and what we have considered personal needs are really His needs.

The work that we are doing is His work, so that prayer is not what we have thought it was; but it is a fellowship, a sharing; it is community interest.
