Satan Was Defeated for Me 2/1 Friday Faith

One of the greatest blessing, one of the most wonderful facts is that Satan was defeated for me.
Jesus' victory over him is my victory.
When I was redeemed in Christ, that Redemption was out of the hand of the enemy.
I have been translated out of the kingdom of Satan, into the kingdom of the Son of the Father's love; in whom I have my Redemption, complete and perfect.
Then I do not have to war to conquer Satan, because Satan is already conquered.
He was conquered for me.  He knows that he was conquered for me, so I take my deliverance from him and my victory over him in Jesus' Name, with thankfulness.

I Am a New Creation 1/31 Thursday Thoughts

The Word is mine.  The Holy Spirit is mine.  Jesus is mine.  God is my own Father.  Their Righteousness is my Righteousness.  I stand complete in their completeness.
I am a New Creation, created in Christ Jesus.  All the rights and privileges of a child are mine.  I did not have to ask for them.  They were conferred upon me.  When I became His child, these things were a part of the New Creation so I enter into my rights.

--E.W. Kenyon

The Holy Spirit Belongs to You 1/30 Wednesday Wisdom

The Holy Spirit belongs to you.
Luke 11:13:  "How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"  Only sons and daughters will ever ask Him.
You are His child.   You have received His very nature.  You are as really His child as was Jesus when He walked in Galilee.
Then you have a right to the Spirit.  You can ask Him to come in and make His home in your body; as surely as you ask Him, so surely will He come in, because "No Word from God is void of an answer."

--E. W. Kenyon

The Word is Yours 1/29 Tuesday Truth

Here are some facts that will help you to begin to build your own faith life.
The Word is yours.  It is as though there was no other person in the world but you, and this revelation had been given especially to you; you can say, "It is mine.  No one has a better right to it than I have.  Every promise is mine.  Every statement of fact is mine."
When He said, "Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you," you can say, "He was talking to me.
"He is my  Father; I am His child.  This is His message to me, to help me in my earth walk."

-- E.W. Kenyon

Build Your Own Faith Life 1/28 Monday Meditation

Everyone should build his own faith life.
I find that the majority of people float on carelessly until they come to a dangerous place.  They are sick, or some loved one is sick, some financial or heart problem confronts them that may affect their entire future.  Then they frantically hunt for someone who can cry and sob and quote scriptures in what they call their "prayer" and it is of no avail because there is no faith back of it.
If there was faith there, there would be no crying and no sobbing.  There would be a rejoicing because they would know that whatever they ask of the Father in Jesus' Name, He will do it.

--E.W. Kenyon

Have Your Own Faith 1/25 Friday Faith

One should never trust the great issues of his life to another's faith.  He should have faith of his own, faith that can meet any crisis that may come.
Your case is vital to you.  It may not be vital to this other party to whose faith you look.  He may have troubles that are unsolved, inward struggles that have never been settled.  His faith may be at a low ebb when you appeal to him for aid.
It is vitally important to you that you have your own faith to fall back on in these hard places.

--E.W. Kenyon

A Neutralizing Force 1/24 Thursday Thougths

Every man and woman in connection with our church who is not spending time in prayer will be a neutralizing force in the church.
They may be in the choir; they may be in the Sunday School; they may have charge of the finances; they may act as deacons or elders; but whatever their place, they carry a certain coldness, they are an inert body.
They have a tendency to lower the spiritual temperature of everyone in close contact with them.
So it is vitally important that the largest possible number of the membership should be led into the Prayer Program of the church.
This isn't any place for theory.
This is the place for positive facts.
A church can't be built up spiritually without prayer.
Numbers can be drawn through personal work or by eloquence, but to build up a real spiritual body, is only possible through prayer.

--E.W. Kenyon

Conquerors and Overcomers 1/22 Tuesday Truth

Rom. 5:17, (Weymouth's trans.): "For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ."
Here we get the whole picture:  Through the abundance of grace and the gift of Righteousness we reign as Kings in the realm of Life -- as conquerors, as overcomers.
This is a triumphant strain right from the heart of the Father, not to become a fact only in Heaven, but right here and now.

--E.W. Kenyon

Fellowship Restored 1/23 Wednesday Wisdom

He is always Righteous.  He can always plead our case.
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.  1 John 1:9, 2:1-1

--E.W. Kenyon

Sweet Fellowship With the Father 1/21 Monday Meditation

The church is so woefully ignorant of Righteousness today.  She thinks Righteousness only means doing right deeds.
But in the Revelation He gave to Paul, Righteousness means the ability to stand in the Father's presence without a sense of guilt, inferiority, or sin, just as free in the Father's presence as was Jesus.
[The church] thinks we will have to wait until we die before this is possible.
It is ours now, in this present, evil world.
Right here now we may have as sweet fellowship and communion with the Father as Jesus had in His earth walk.

--E.W. Kenyon

Jesus in You 1/18 Friday Faith

Jesus in you is Authority over demoniacal [sic] forces and over the laws of nature.
We may know our ability.  We may know that we have authority over all the demoniacal forces.
"In my name ye shall cast out demons."
"Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world."
These are facts.  We know them. We are not afraid to face life with the consciousness of victors.
In the morning you take stock.  You say, "He and I are going together.  I have access to His ability, His wisdom, His love, His grace, His strength to meet every issue that confronts me.  I shall have physical strength for every need today.  I shall have wisdom to meet every issue.  I shall have love no matter what the provocation may be."

--E. W. Kenyon

He and I Working Together 1/17 Thursday Thoughts

Why, prayer just becomes a means of communication between He and I [sic].  It is not a slavish duty.  It is not a difficult task.  It is not hard work.
He and I are working together.

--E.W. Kenyon

Feed on the 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.
You remember Matt. 4:4:   "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."  You can't build faith and feed on any other kind of food.

--E.W. Kenyon

What I Am in Christ 1/15 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.

--E. W. Kenyon

He Has Lost None of His Power 1/14 Monday Meditation

"The God who raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you and He has lost none of His ability or power."  [compare Eph. 1:19-20]

When He enters your life to dwell there, He doesn't lay aside His glory and Majesty and might.  

When God's Son took upon Him the garment of flesh, He laid aside some of His glory.

But when the Holy Spirit comes into you, He comes full-fledged.  He is the same mighty Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

--E.W. Kenyon

Defeated With Your Own Lips 1/11 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."

E.W. Kenyon

Never Talk Failure 1/10 Thursday Thoughts

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

-- E. W. Kenyon

You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Wednesday Wisdom

You can't be conquered.
Your spirit is whispering, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror."
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.
There 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

Faith for the Impossible 1/8 Tuesday Truth

You see, faith doesn't ask for possible things.  Faith is demanding the impossible.
Prayer is never for the possible, but always for the thing that is out of reason.
It is God who is at work with us, in us and for us.
"How shall he not with him freely give us all things."

--E.W. Kenyon

Destroying or Filling Your Faith 1/7 Monday Meditation

And just that fast we finished the quotes from the A.B. Simpson book.
Next we are going to E.W. Kenyon.  I haven't quoted him since 2011.   Kenyon and Simpson were friends who often traded pulpits.  Kenyon is considered the forefather of the Word of Faith movement.

You talk of your doubts and your fears, and you destroy your faith.
You talk of the ability of the Father that is yours, and fill your lips with praise for answers to prayers that you have asked.  Its reaction upon the heart is tremendous:  Faith grows by leaps and bounds.
You talk about your trials and your difficulties, of your lack of faith, and your lack of money, and faith shrivels, loses its virility.
Your whole spirit life shrinks.
You study about what you are in Christ and then confess boldly.
You dare to act on the Word in the face of sense knowledge opposition.
Regardless of appearance, you take your stand; make your confession and hold fast to it in the face of apparent impossibilities.

--E.W. Kenyon

Supernatural Power 1/4 Friday Faith

The effect of the healing is to bring sinners to God.  It is not to set people wondering, but to set them repenting... The true effect of a gospel of supernatural power is always spiritual.  It results in the salvation of men and women.  The prophet Joel tells us that through these mighty signs and wonders will come the last great outpouring of the Spirit upon the world and the awakening of men before the Lord's return.

--A.B. Simpson

The Touch of Jesus 1/3 Thursday Thoughts

The touch of Jesus meant much to a leper.  It was long since a hand of love had touched the man.  Jesus' touch was not cold or mechanical.  He was "moved with compassion."  His heart of love and His very life were in it.  Yes, Christ helps us not because His promise compels Him, but because His love overflows toward us.

-- A.B. Simpson

This Is Faith 1/2 Wednesday Wisdom

Had the man said, "Lord, help my unbelief" without first saying "Lord, I believe," it would have been vain.  Had he said, "Lord, I believe" and stopped there, it would have been equally vain, for it would only have been his own willpower.  He put forth his will, and then he depended on Christ for the strength.  This is faith.

--A.B. Simpson
