You are a victor; He made you one; get used to it, so you can play the part. . . .
You are what He says you are in Christ.
Remember His Word is truth (or reality).
Launch out boldly on the Word!
-- E.W. Kenyon

If Your Fellowship is Broken 1/31 Thursday Thoughts
A rich prayer life depends on your Fellowship [with God].
You must be in Fellowship or you can't enjoy the throne of grace.
If your Fellowship is broken, you know what to do to have it restored.
You can't afford to stay in the dark; too many issues are at stake.

Aimee Semple McPherson 1/30 Wednesday Wisdom
Back from vacation in Kansas for my youngest grandchild's 7th birthday.
I am taking a one-day break from E.W. Kenyon to share this great quote from Aimee Semple McPherson. "Sister Aimee" was a creative showman evangelist who founded The Foursquare Church, a denomination that is better known on the West Coast. The Foursquare Church came indirectly out of The Christian and Missionary Alliance and it teaches the same Fourfold (or Foursquare) Gospel that the C&MA teaches.
"Oh, Lord, I am so hungry for your Holy Spirit. You have told me that in the day when I seek with my whole heart you will be found of me. Now, Lord, I am going to stay right here until you pour out upon me the promise of the Holy Spirit for whom you commanded me to tarry, if I die of starvation. I am so hungry for Him I can’t wait another day. I will not eat another meal until you baptize me." -- Aimee Semple McPherson

The Father's Forgiveness 1/24 Thursday Thoughts
The instant we ask the Father's forgiveness, Jesus takes up our case before the Father and our fellowship is restored.
There is no need of walking in broken fellowship a minute after you have committed sin.
The Devil is the author of that sin.
Then to walk on in broken fellowship, grieving over your blunder, is only adding joy and glory to the Devil.
The instant you have done wrong and your fellowship is impaired, ask the Father's forgiveness and go on in fellowship with Him.
I John 1:9, 2:1-2
-- E. W. Kenyon
THIS WILL BE THE LAST POST UNTIL PROBABLY TUESDAY SINCE I WILL BE ON VACATION.

Fellowship 1/23 Wednesday Wisdom
Fellowship [with God] is the parent of Real Faith. If you find someone whose Faith is weak, you may know that his fellowship has been broken, or it is of a low type. . . .
This broken fellowship does not break your relationship, but it mars it and robs that relationship of its richest blessings and benefits.
All low grade faith comes from a low grade of fellowship.
Most Christians have lost their fellowship and are putting duty in place of it.

Sonship 1/22 Tuesday Truth
Could you think of a son who could not stand in his Father's presence? Sonship would have no meaning, no significance whatever.
We have now a perfect relationship. God is our very Father; we are his very sons and daughters.
Our relationship cannot be challenged because it is based upon the finished work of Christ.
God has wrought it Himself.
When we accepted Christ as our Saviour and confessed Him as our Lord, then God Himself, through the Word, by the Holy Spirit's energy recreated us, imparting to us His own nature, Eternal Life.
John 6:47: "He that believeth hath eternal life."
I John 5:13: "These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God."

Renewed Mind 1/21 Monday Meditation
Romans 12:2: "And be not fashioned according to this age: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind . . . "
This mind is going to be renewed by the Spirit, and by our meditation in the Word and practicing of the Word, until our mind is in perfect fellowship with our recreated spirit and with the Word.
Few believers have a renewed mind.
Consequently, only a few of them ever get into the deep things of God, and their prayer life seldom becomes a reality.

In My Son's Name 1/18 Friday Faith
When He said, "Whatsoever ye ask of the Father in my name, he will give it you," [John 16:23, et al.] He meant it for you in your daily walk, in your prayer life.
While you are reading this now, it is the Father speaking to you.
It is as though He stood in the room and said: "Whatsoever ye ask in my Son's name, I will give it you."
Or if He said, "In my Son's name you may cast the demon out of that person, or you can lay hands on that person and they will be healed." [Mark 16:17-18]
That Name is yours to be used any time, any place.
Remember this is not a religion; this is your personal contact with the Father. Your ability to pray and get results can't be questioned.

Your Check 1/17 Thursday Thoughts
Does I John 5:14-15 mean me today? "And this is the boldness which we have toward him that if we ask anything according to his will he heareth us; and if he heareth us, we know we have the petition that we have asked of him."
Yes, these are all yours.
It is as though you were the only person in the world and He was writing it for your special benefit.
"Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name! Ask, and ye shall receive that your joy may be made full."
That is yours. There is no question about its belonging to you. Is is as much yours as that check that was made out to you and signed by that business man.

The Father's Word 1/16 Wednesday Wisdom
The Father's Word in Jesus' lips accomplished things. It hushed the sea. It quieted the wind. It raised the dead. It fed the multitudes.
His Living Word in lips of faith will do the same today.
When you know that the Word is God speaking, you will speak the Word with authority.
You remember that Faith in God is faith in His Word.
You want to build your Faith? Feed on the Word; act upon it.

The Integrity of the Word 1/15 Tuesday Truth
The integrity of the Word is the basis of faith.
The reason for unbelief and a faltering faith is a lack of assurance of the integrity of the promises in the Word.

The Written Word 1/14 Monday Meditation
The written word today does not prevail in the church.
We read it, expound it, and the people go away and forget it.
In Acts 12:24, "The word of God grew and multiplied." . . .
We should meditate in this Living Word until it becomes a reality, until it will be as though the Master stood in the room and spoke to us.

Superman 1/11 Friday Faith
The believer is a new creation, created by God Himself.
He has God's nature, Eternal Life.
Jesus is made unto him wisdom.
God is his strength.
The Holy Spirit is his ability.
He has the love nature of God so that he does not and cannot act like common men.
Love makes him like Jesus.
He has the mind of Christ and the ability that Christ had in His earth walk.
This makes him a superman.

What Is That Name Worth? 1/10 Thursday Thoughts
The new creation man is a partaker of God's nature. . . .
This man with God's nature, and God dwelling in him, is given a legal right to use of the Name of Jesus with the power of attorney.
The question is: What is that Name worth? What authority is there back of it?
Matt. 28:18-20 Jesus said: "All authority hath been given me in heaven and on earth. . . "
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.

The Great Substitution 1/9 Wednesday Wisdom
The modern Christian does not object to my telling what they need, or my telling what they should do or be, but they can't understand me when I tell them what they are in Christ. They think I am bringing a new philosophy, a beautiful error, that will lead them astray.
I remember when I first saw this, I said, "If this were only true," and then I said, "If I knew how to make it mine."
I didn't know that it was mine.
I didn't know that "He had blessed me with every spiritual blessing in Christ" and when I read it , it didn't register.
... That everything that the Father wrought in Christ in His Great Substitution belongs to the individual believer.
It makes no difference whether the believer is educated or uneducated; whether he is rich or poor, the boundless grace unveiled in Christ belongs to every one of us.

Perfect Conquerors 1/7 Monday Meditation
When He said that He made us to sit down with Him at the right hand of the Majesty on High, do you realize what that meant? That back yonder the Father's faith saw us perfect conquerors, perfect victors, enthroned by the side of His own Son at His own right hand.
I tell you, that was faith!
I have faith in my Father's faith, that this is made good in me. Now you can understand 2 Cor. 5:17-21. "Wherefore if any man is in Christ, there is a new creation." The moment you accept Christ you are in the New Creation. "The old things are passed away."

Righteousness 1/4 Friday Faith
Here is a good teaching on positional righteousness. Although we are still imperfect after we have accepted Christ, God sees us as righteous (in position if not in practice) because He sees us as forgiven through the sacrifice of Christ.
You become the Righteousness of God in Him.
You stand in the Father's presence as though sin had never been. We have never been able to accept this even mentally, but it is coming slowly to the consciousness of the Church as they listen to the Word. . . .
God actually becomes our Righteousness the moment that we accept Christ as Saviour and confess Him as our Lord.
Men don't appreciate this, but the moment that a man becomes a New Creation, he can stand in the presence of the Father as Jesus did in His earth walk.
He is only a babe, but he has a perfect Righteousness and a perfect Redemption. That Redemption is God-wrought. That Righteousness is God Himself.

All Authority 1/3 Thursday thoughts
It is your quiet assurance in His Word that gives you the supremacy over your Adversaries. . . .
You see that the Name of Jesus has all authority and you have a legal right to use that Name in every extremity.
You are His son, His own very child. . . .

You Will Have Testings 1/2 Wednesday Wisdom
Every person who walks by faith will have testings.
They do not come from the Father; they come from the Adversary.
He is refusing to allow you to escape him.
You become dangerous to the Adversary when you become strong enough to resist him -- when you have learned to trust in the ability of the Father to meet your every need.
When that becomes a reality in your consciousness, the Adversary is defeated.
