Possessor of the Father's Nature 2/27 Friday Faith

The instant you believe you become a possessor of the Father's nature.  You become as much a child of God as Jesus was in His earth walk.  You may not have developed; you may not have grown in grace and in the knowledge of the Word; you may not have taken advantage of your privileges as a son; but you are a son, an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. Until we recognize that we are New Creations, the very sons and daughter of God, we will never take our place.

--E.W. Kenyon

Masters of Circumstances 2/26 Thursday Thoughts

The instant that we become the Righteousness of God, Satan's dominion over us is broken.  Instead of being slaves of the Adversary, we become masters of the Adversary.  Instead of circumstances lording it over us, we become the masters of circumstances.

-- E.W. Kenyon 

He Is With You 2/25 Wednesday Wisdom

He is with you in the living Word. He is with you in the presence of the mighty Spirit that lives in us.  He hasn't left us alone, and He will not leave us alone.  His ability is our ability.  His strength is our strength.

--E.W. Kenyon

You Are a Doer of the Word 2/24 Tuesday Truth

You are a doer of the Word.
The Word is living in your lips. It is just as though the Master spoke it Himself.
That man gets what he prays for.  We do the things that are pleasing to Him.  In other words, we are taking Jesus' place.  We are Father-pleasers just as Jesus was.  (John 829)
It is a doer of the Word that receives things form God.  
-- E.W. Kenyon

A Real Doer 2/23 Monday Meditation

The hearer may show many blossoms of promise, but it is the doer that delivers the ripened fruit.  The Word lives in him; he lives in the Word.  He is the fruit-bearing branch -- a real doer. 
-- E. W. Kenyon

We Do the Word 2/20 Friday Faith

We do the Word, we live the Word, we act the Word, we trust implicitly in the Word, and we know that God and His throne are back of every word.  That gives us a quiet, restful confidence.

-- E.W. Kenyon

The Word Prevails 2.19 Thursday Thoughts

The Word at last prevails.  We are what He says we are.  We can do what He says we can do.He is what He says He is, and no Word from Him is void of ability to make good in us.

-- E.W. Kenyon
 

Do I Lack Wisdom? 2/18 Wednesday Wisdom

Do I lack wisdom? (Most of us do.) Well, I Corinthians 1:30 says that God made Jesus to be wisdom unto us.  That means that we shall have ability to use the knowledge that is given to us in the Word, that we are no longer to walk in darkness, for we have the light of life.

-- E.W. Kenyon 

Strength of My Life 2/17 Tuesday Truth

Psalm 27:1, "Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear; Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Did He say that He is the strength of my life?  Then He IS.
I have all the strength I need for any emergency or any need.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Then It Is! 2/16 Monday Meditation

My heart never recognized the secret of Faith until I saw this truth:  that the Word must prevail over my mind.  When the Word became as real to me as the word of a friend or a banker, then Faith ceased to be a problem...Did God say it?  Yes!  THEN IT IS! 

--E.W. Kenyon

When the Word Prevails 2/13 Friday Faith

As long as sickness prevails over you, you are walking in darkness.  You mentally assent to the Word, but you do not act upon it.  As long as you walk in poverty, and your testimony is of your needs and your lack, the Word has not prevailed in your life.
Philippians 4:19 has no place in the life that is not dominated by the Word:  "And my God shall supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
When the Word prevails, you have plenty for yourself and for others.

--E. W. Kenyon

Faith and Hope 2/12 Thursday Thoughts

You remember Hebrews 11:1, "Faith is giving substance to things we have hoped for."Hope is always in the future; it is a dream, it is never real.
Faith reaches up and grasps Hope and brings it into the realm of the present.

- E. W. Kenyon

Meditation 2/11 Wednesday Wisdom

The Word takes the place of the unseen Christ.  Meditation in the Word is a visit with Him.  The Word becomes a part of one by meditation.  The Word living in us gets into our blood.

-- E.W. Kenyon 

Acting on the Word 2/10 Tuesday Truth

Mark 16:18, "They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."  This means nothing until we act on it.
"In My Name they shall cast out demons."  The scripture means nothing until we act on it.
John 15:16, "That whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name He will do it."   The scripture is useless, dead, until we act on it.  It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the believer.  You may have all the promises; you may have the mighty Spirit dwelling in you; but if you do not act on the Word, God is impotent in you.  Acting on the Word makes Jesus vitally real to the believer.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Living in Your Home 2/9 Monday Meditation

What would it mean to have the Father and Jesus both living in your home?  It would insure the rent, the taxes, and all the bills, because the Father would pay His way and enable you to meet every obligation.  How intimate He wishes to become with us.   (Matthew 6:31-33)

-- E.W. Kenyon 

It Is the Word 2/6 Friday Faith

The righteousness of God cannot be sick then and cannot be ruled by sin.  Satan has no dominion over the Righteousness of God unless we give it to Him.
It is the Word that has made us know this.  It is the Word that has saved us, recreated us, and it is the Word that heals us now.  It is the Word that makes us masters of Satan.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Right-of-Way 2/5 Thursday Thoughts

Ephesians 3:17, "That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love..."Christ and the Word are one.  It is the Word dwelling in you which is equivalent to Christ personally being in you.
Letting the Word have right-of-way in your life is letting Christ have right-of-way.  The Word dominating you is the Lordship of Christ in you.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Acting, Living, Doing the Word 2/4 Wednesday Wisdom

I am beginning a new series of quotes from a new book that I have started to read, Advanced Bible Course, by E.W. Kenyon.  This is a good opportunity for a refresher on E.W. Kenyon (1867-1948).  He was a Free Will Baptist preacher who founded what is now Gordon College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, one of the leading evangelical seminaries.  He is considered to be the forefather of the Word of Faith movement and the originator of "positive confession" theology.  Kenyon was a close friend of A.W. Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, and they often traded pulpits.

Colossians 3:10, "And have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of Him that created him.

The mind is renewed by studying the Word and by acting upon it.  One may study the Word for years, but if he does not act it, live it, is not a doer, the mind is not renewed.   James gives us the secret in James 1:22, "Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

Many Bible student are deceiving themselves because they are not acting, living, doing the Word.

Upon the Throne 2/3 Tuesday Truth

The God who is upon the throne is your Father.The one whom you feared and worshipped from afar is your Father.
He is asking you to draw near to His throne of love gifts, that He may pour out upon you the riches of His love and grace to meet every need of yours.
Heb. 4:16:  "Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help us in time of need."  

This concludes the quotations from What Happened from the Cross to the Throne, by E.W. Kenyon.  I recently purchased and have begun reading E.W. Kenyon's Advanced Bible Course.   It has some great quotes, which I will begin posting tomorrow.

My Own Father 2/2 Monday Meditation

My Father is the one who is on the throne.He may be the judge of the world.  He may be God to the sinner, but He is my own Father.
He loves me and cares for me.
Matt. 6:32:  "For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things," rings through my soul.  I have it framed and hanging in memory's chamber so as to remind me morning by morning that my Father is watching over me.
