Our "Suffering" Today 9/1 Tuesday Truth

[Acts 9:14-16] The sixteenth verse, "For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my Name's sake."
Jesus is talking to Ananias.  Paul is to suffer for the Name.
About the only suffering we have today in the Church is that for our eccentricities and our  Sense Knowledge teaching.

Glory to the Father 8/31 Monday Meditation

In John 14:14 we read, "If ye shall ask anything in my name that will I do."
In the previous verse we see, "That the Father may be glorified in the Son."
The Father is going to get glory from our use of the Name of Jesus to heal the sick and cast out demons, and in the working of miracles.

Joy Through the Name 8/28 Friday Faith

 

[John 16:23-26]  Jesus says that up to this time we have never asked anything in His Name, but that now He is giving His disciples the right to use His Name.  He uses this strange expression, "that your joy may be made full."
Happiness comes from circumstances.  Joy alone comes from the Lord.  There is to come to us a joy through the miraculous use of the Name of Jesus.

Life-giving Word 8/27 Thursday Thoughts

(cont. from Wednesday)  
The Word preached by the apostles was the Living Word, the Life-giving Word, the Recreating Word, the Miracle-performing Word.
The Word given to us by the Holy Spirit through the apostles' lips (this would include the epistles) is not only a Written Word, but it is a Living Word; it is a Life-giving Word; it is a Healing Word; it is a Prevailing Word; it is an God-indwelt Word.
In the lips of men of faith, the Word is filled with Faith, filled with Love, filled with Grace, filled with the very Nature and Life of God.
What a privilege it is to have in our lips this Living Word, this Life-giving Word.

Three Phases of the Word 8/26 Wednesday Wisdom

Three are three phases of the Word.  We have the Word incarnate n the flesh (John 1:14).  Next we have the spoken Word in the Book of Acts.  Then we have the written Word that takes in the entire New Testament, but especially the Pauline Revelation.
So we have the "incarnate," the "spoken," and the "written" Word.  But the Word in the lips of Jesus was the Father's Word that was given to men through His Son. It was the healing Word, the miracle-performing Word.    (to be continued)

The Place of the Word 8/25 Tuesday Truth

Acts 4:4 ..., "But many of them that heard the Word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand."  It doesn't say that they heard the apostles, but that they heard the Word.
Acts 6:2, "And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the Word of God, and serve tables."
How early they learned the place of the Word!
Acts 6:4, "But we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the Word."
These were untaught men, fishermen.  The Spirit had unveiled to them the place and dignity of the Word.

I So Love 8/24 Monday Meditation

God so loved that He gave.  I so love that I give.  I so love that I give my time; I give my money; I give my ability.  I lay it all upon the altar of grace.He loves you now and He wants you to love Him as He loved you.  He wants you to give as He gave.
You can't give as much, but you can give with the same spirit of love that He gave, can't you?

How Jesus Could Love 8/21 Friday Faith

I never could get it clear in my heart how Jesus could love the man who was putting the lash upon His back, or how He could love the man, and die for him, who put the nails through the palms of His hands and feet; but I imagine that if you had been back there near the sepulchre when Jesus arose from the dead, you would have heard Him say, "Where is the man who plaited the crown of thorns and placed them upon my brow?  I want to tell him that I died for him, that I suffered the torments of the damned for him."

--E. W. Kenyon

Established in Grace 8/20 Thursday Thoughts

Think of it!  We are being established in grace.
What is grace?  It is love pouring itself out upon the graceless and the unworthy.
The Spirit gave to us a marvelous interpretation of grace in Romans 4:4,5.  "No to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness." 

--E. W. Kenyon

You Can Stand 8/19 Wednesday Wisdom

Eternal Life is the Nature and Life of the Father.  You have that now.  You have become, by the New Creation, by the impartation of God's very Nature, the righteousness of God in Christ.
Few people are established in that.  Few appreciate or understand it, or have ever entered into its fullness.
It means that you can stand in the Father's presence, just as Jesus, without the sense of inferiority, that you can stand in the presence of Satan and all his works with the same fearless grace that Jesus had.  (II Corinthians 2:14-15.) 

Established in Love 8/18 Tuesday Truth

"I am thy God.  I am your Father.  I am your Strength. I am your Wisdom and your Ability.:"  (II Corinthians 3:4-6.)
When you are established in that, fixed and settled in it, you become a world-ruler in the spiritual realm.  Men can feel the effect of your prayer life in Europe, Asia and Africa.  (John 14:13-14.)  The demons that rule the warring elements of Europe and Africa are afraid of you, and they are afraid that you will turn the mighty influence of your lips and prayers against them.  (John 15:7.)  You are established at last in the very heart of God -- established in Love.

What More Do You Want? 8/16 Monday Meditation

Can't you hear Him whisper (Isaiah 41:10), "Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee:  yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."  What more do you want?

Established in the Truth 8/13 Thursday Thoughts

I will not be posting a "Friday Faith" this week.
Philippians 4:19, "And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
You are so established in that truth that you never worry about your finances any more.  Your Father is now meeting your obligations.  You and He are laboring together.  (Matthew 6:27-34.)

-- E.W. Kenyon

Vine and Branches 8/12 Wednesday Wisdom

John 15:5, "I am the vine and ye are the branches."No one can touch a branch without hurting the vine.  The vine and the branch are one.  You are a part of Him, and He is a part of you.  He is taking care of you.  You are established in this truth.  

--E.W. Kenyon 

Shadow of the Rock 8/11 Tuesday Truth

[Romans 8:35]  "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"Rest under the shadow of that great Rock in this weary land; and you hear someone saying, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."
You know who you are, what you are.  (I John 3:2)  You know Who is backing you up, Who is protecting you.  For it is God who is at work within you working and willing His own precious will.  (Philippians 2:13.)

-- E.W. Kenyon

God Is For You 8/10 Monday Meditation

Romans 8:31-38:  "If God is for us, who is against us?"  We should be established in that.You know that scripture is yours. You know that God is for you.  You know that He is your Father and that He gave up His Son to die for us; and you know that He has given us His own nature, His own life.  (I John 5:12-13.)

-- E.W. Kenyon

Established in the Truth 8/7 Friday Faith

Every believer should be established in this truth.  So many are established in weakness; they live under the shadow of it.  Other are established in sickness and infirmities.  (James 5:14-17.)
Others are established in fear, in the sense of sin, the sense of lack and inability.  (Isaiah 41:10.)
We want to learn to be established in the Word.
II Peter 1:12, "Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you."

-- E.W.Kenyon  

Every Believer Should Know... 8/6 Thursday Thoughts

Every believer should know what the Name of Jesus can mean to him in his daily life, so that no matter what happens, he is a victor, a conqueror.  (John 16:24)
In my name ye shall cast out demons."  (Mark 16:17-20)
You can cast out all demons if you cast out a demon, and you can cast out the work of a demon. 

-- E.W. Kenyon

Established, Settled, Fixed 8/5 Wednesday Wisdom

Every believer owes it to himself to be established in the Word, to be settled and fixed so that he will not be wafted about by every wind and storm.  (Ephesians 4:14-16)He should know what he is in Christ, know it so thoroughly that no matter what happens he stands unruffled, unaffected.  (Ephesians 1:3-7
He should know what Christ is to him, and what He has done for him, and what He is doing for him now.  (I Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 1:16; and Hebrews 7:25)

Blessed With Every Blessing 8/4 Tuesday Truth

Ephesians 1:3, "Blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ."
How it thrills the heart!  He has blessed us with the fullness of Himself.  As the air is saturated with moisture, so your spirit and body are saturated with God.  You have received the gift of grace which means the unveiling of the Father's very purpose in you in such abundance that people are affected by what you say.
You are rooted and grounded in love.  Men are affected by it; selfishness shrinks and shrivels n the presence of this love life in you.

--E.W. Kenyon

The Test of the New Birth 8/3 Monday Meditation

The test of the New Birth is this Love Life.  How beautiful it would be if we were actually swallowed up of love.  That is what it means -- swallowed up of life, and life is love.
It would solve the home problem, wouldn't it?  There would be no quarreling or bitterness.  What a heavenly atmosphere the children would grow up in; they would never hear an unkind word or a bitter criticism.
