Dare to Stand 1/1/13 Tuesday Truth

Wishing all of you a blessed new year!



Dare to stand in the presence of sense knowledge facts, and declare that you are what God says you are!

For instance sense knowledge declares that I am sick with an incurable illness. I confess that God laid that disease on Jesus and that Satan has no right to put it on me; that, "by his stripes I am healed." I am to hold fast to my confession in the face of apparent sense knowledge contradiction.

Sense knowledge says that it is not true; that I am confessing an untruth. But I am confessing what God says.

You see, there are two kinds of Truth: sense knowledge Truth, and revelation Truth; and they are usually opposed to each other.

I live in the new realm above the senses, so I hold fast to my confession that I am what the Word says I am.

The Righteousnes of God 12/31 Monday Meditation

But you ask, "What is the righteousness of God?"


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

It is the ability to stand there as the very sons and daughters of God Almighty so that you can go boldly unto the throne of grace and make your petitions just as Jesus would if He were here.

Defeated By Your Words 12/28 Friday Faith

You said that 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 art snared with the words of thy mouth. Thou art 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."

Remember What You Are 12/27 Thursday Thoughts

Every disease is of the Adversary.


All kinds of sin are of the Adversary.

All opposition to the glad tidings is of the Adversary.

God and I are victors.

Greater is He that is in me than this opposition or this disease.

There is no need that is greater than my Lord.

Three is no lack that He cannot meet.

This indomitable will that God has wrought in you cannot be overwhelmed, or conquered.

You remember what you are -- you are a New Creation. You are a branch of the vine.

You are an heir of God.



-- E. W. Kenyon

Take Your Position 12/26 Wednesday Wisdom

You take your position in Christ that you are more than a conqueror, that no matter what the testing may be God cannot let you fail.


You are not standing on sense evidence.

You are not standing on the faith of other people.

You are standing squarely upon His own Word.

Your confidence is not in the prayers of others, but in this unchanging, unbreakable Word.

-- E. W. Kenyon

If I don't post for Thursday, it's because I'm stranded at work due to the blizzard.

If you confess . . . 12/24 Monday Meditation

Our faith or unbelief is determined by our confession.


Few of us realize the effect of our spoken word on our own heart or on our adversary.

He hears us make our confession of failure, of sickness, of lack, and apparently he doesn't forget; and we unconsciously go down to the level of our confession.

No one ever rises above it.

If you confess sickness, it develops sickness in your system.

If you confess doubt, the doubts become stronger.

If you confess lack of finances, it stops the money from coming in.

You say, "I can't understand this."

No. Because most of us live in the sense realm and spiritual things are very indistinct.

-- E. W. Kenyon

Sorry if you were expecting a Christmas mediation! It's very hard to find seasonal thoughts by the Pentecostal pioneers. This will be the last meditation for a couple days. I wish you all a very blessed Christmas!!!

What Does the Resurrection Mean? 12/20 Thursday Thoughts

Jesus was raised from the dead.


But what does that Resurrection mean?

That the sin problem was settled.

That Satan was conquered.

Humanity was redeemed.

That God an now on legal grounds impart His Nature, Eternal Life, to man and make him a New Creation. At last man can become God's actual child, a very son.

There can be perfect fellowship between them.

When God imparted His Nature to man, He imparted His Righteousness. So man is a partaker of the Divine Nature and the Righteousness of God.

Man can stand in the Father's presence as did Jesus in His Earth walk.

-- E. W. Kenyon

The Realm of Miracles 12/20 Thursday Thoughts

If we pray at all, we expect prayer to be answered.


If that prayer is answered, God has done it; and if God has answered prayer He has performed something outside of the Realm of Reason.

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.

Prayer and Miracles 12/19 Wednesday Wisdom

You can't have prayers answered without having Miracles performed.


If you deny that Miracles are for this age, you deny the need and the privileges and the benefits of prayer.

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. . . .

For God the Father to hear my prayer is equivalent to His answering it. . . .

For God to answer my prayer, regardless of its natures, is a Miracle.



--E.W. Kenyon

Prayer Channels 12/18 Tuesday Truth

Certain men and women are led to become the prayer channels for a whole congregation.


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. . . .

Force yourself into the prayer life. Regardless of how you feel, drive yourself to prayer. . . .

You are praying to the Father.

You are praying in the Name of Jesus.

You are praying through the Holy Spirit.

Your prayer is based upon the Word.

Dare to Climb 12/17 Monday Meditation

So, let us dare to climb the heights of God.


Let us say without fear, "I am what He says I am."

"He is in me what He says He is."

"I can do, with His ability in me, what He says I can."



--E. W. Kenyon

Right of Way 12/14 Friday Faith

God wasn't any more His [Jesus's] Father than He is ours.


He [Jesus] said, "The Father loveth you even as He loves me."

He was the Son of God.

You are a son of God.

He was Deity.

You are a partaker of the Divine Nature, that is Deity.

He had the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him.

You have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you.

The difference is that Jesus gave the Holy Spirit right of way in a sense of which we have never yet learned.

He took advantage of the God-life within Him in a way we have never yet been able to take advantage of the God-life within us.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Know Your Privileges 12/13 Thursday Thoughts

The more that I study the life of Jesus, I am convinced that He did not exercise divine power in excess of what every intelligent child of God possesses today.


The difference is that Jesus knew what belonged to Him and Jesus used His rights.

We do not know what belongs to us. Not knowing what is ours, we cannot use our rights.

When Jesus cast out demons, He used authority that He has delegated to the church.

He said, "In my Name ye shall cast out demons." . . .

Let me state it again: I am convinced that intelligent children of the Lord could walk in the same life and power and divine liberty as Jesus walked, if they understood their privileges.

Prayer is a Visit 12/12 Wednesday Wisdom

This prayer habit will be born of your own will.


This habit is hard to form for most people. It should never be a duty, for just as we do not enjoy those who visit us because it is their duty, so it is with the Father.

We want those who love us to come because they cannot help it.

Prayer is a visit with the Father.

We should think of it as a rare opportunity.

-- E.W. Kenyon

What Prayer Can Mean 12/11 Tuesday Truth

Now we see what prayer can mean.


It isn't the old idea of getting on our knees and crying and begging.

It is a son coming into the Father's Presence for one of our brethren who has been injured, or for one who for some reason cannot come and make his appeal personally. We come on his behalf and ask for a blessing.

Or it may be that we are taking up the need of the great unsaved world.

We stand there in fulness of Fellowship and fulness of Joy to get a portion for another.

This is entering by the New and Living Way.

This is coming boldly to the Throne of Grace.

This is fellowshipping the Father.

This is visiting with Him.

It is not coming into His Presence as the Jews came into the presence of Jehovah, or as a sinner would approach, but we are coming as sons and daughters.

We are taking our place.



-- E. W. Kenyon

The Last Barrier 12/10 Monday Meditation

Can't you hear Him say, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will drink with him?" (Rev. 3:20)


Now what does it mean to us?

It means that the last barrier between the Father and the children has been put away.

We may come into His Presence now with the same freedom that Jesus had.

(to be continued)

-- E.W. Kenyon

What Prayer Should Be 12/7 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.



-- E. W. Kenyon

We Have a Place 12/6 Thursday Thoughts

Every one of us has a place in the prayer life.


God has no unused members. . . .

If anyone thinks that because of lack of training or for lack of this or that, he hasn't a place, he is deluded by the enemy.

You have a place.

With that place comes responsibility. . . .

To see a need is to have a call to prayer.

There are people who will be utterly lost unless you take your place. . . .

The prayer responsibility today is the most important thing of our lives.



-- E. W. Kenyon

WHY? 12/5 Wednesday Wisdom

Why did He redeem us? Why make us New Creations? Why make us righteous? Why dwell in us? Why give us the Name? Why say that in Jesus' Name we could cast out demons?




What did He expect us to do after making us all this? Just to be good, neutral sons who never face the enemy; who simply read the Word but never act on it; who do not take our Redemption and New Creation seriously? . . .



Must we say that tanks, planes and bombs are to rule the world?



Or is God still living, and are we tied up with Him?



-- E.W. Kenyon

Inner Life of Prayer 12/4 Tuesday Truth

From our inner life of prayer there gushes forth a torrent of the very life of God that speeds on its way to that one who is in need. No one knows about the fulness of this. We are in the very infancy of this prayer life. . . .


This is cooperating with Him. God through you is ruling the demons and evil forces all over the world. You become His voice in that Name.

--E.W. Kenyon

Prayer Is Vital Contact 12/3 Monday Meditation

Prayer means vital contact with the Father. We are near enough to Him to breathe in His very presence.


Prayer means that we have come boldly into the throne room and are standing in His presence.

It is more than bringing Him on the scene. It is going into the presence of the Father and Jesus in an executive meeting, laying our needs before them and making our requisitions for ability, or grace, healing for someone, or victory for someone . . .

-- E.W. Kenyon
